            The war is literally Empire versus Church/Kingdom, with Empire forcing the Alliance nobility to side with them, and if they don't, they're flagged as enemies of the Empire. The Alliance is a third party in the war. You are playing the third wheel if you play Golden Deer. Why would you not only willingly want that, but then so bravely say its the best of the campaigns?

      GD >>>>>>>> BE > shit > BL
      Despite its questionable male characters, GD is by far the most comfy house. Plus, all the girls are good overall, and you'll probably like at least one of them.
      BE feels like an even bigger mixed bag than the deer, honestly. Some of the characters are fine and work well off each other, though some can be annoying.
      BL is objectively not a terrible house. The quartet of dimitri/sylvain/ingrid/felix is obviously very appealing for most players, but that was not the case for me. It felt lazy and I didn't necessarily care for any of them. They took up too much of the spotlight in comparison to other house members which I heavily disliked, but its not like the rest of the characters in BL are anything noteworthy, except Dedue I guess, but he's just another part of Dimitri.

    Because bad stories don't affect sales nearly enough for devs to learn. On top of that you get people who defend it cause some arbitrary game is supposedly even worse than it without giving any reason at all.
    Look forward to the FE after the next where the same writer is hired again to write down some contrived bullshit in which characters have to stop doing anything to make things work out.

    • 11 months ago

      At it's base it's just a generic defeat the evil dragon story with some very foreseeable twists. That alone is fine enough. The problem is, that it's executed really poorly.
      >First big turning point
      >Raid the cathedral where the enemy is
      >Evil girl somehow nabs your time crystal and rings. Not shown how, it just works cause we need to take them from the player
      >4 generals are introduced as they cut off your escape route
      >Alear gives the command to retreat. It just works and the camera cuts away
      >4 generals turn out to be total pushovers as you fight them for the majority of the remaining them (4 times each)
      >Each time they just somehow escape
      >One time one of them wants to test out a theory, gets fricked by Alear gives you a revelation in a grand speech, then just fricks off as if there isn't an army surrounding him
      >Actually capture another general one time
      >She explicitly says, she's gonna side with the enemy again if you take her with you
      >Alear does so anyway
      There are more details, but the general gist of it is that each scene forces a number of events by making characters either act in a stupid way or not at all. It seems like a tokusatsu with bosses being reused, but doesn't really work in a game about war, cause you just completely surrounded them after annihilating their troops.

      Engage story is good though. And all characters are multilayered and don't need muh politics to pretend to be complex when they're not.

      Most characters are nothing in the main story after their introduction.

      Fully animated sex scenes for S supports.

      Actually, give the ring projections more personal autonomy that allows them to work against each other. Sort of like Awakenings dlc but with a more involved story around that situation. Can see various opposing factions forming just by understanding the motivations of previous characters from their respective games. We don't need OC main villain insert to bring them all together that almost never looks good.

      I know it's always been about gameplay but when you have something that goes beyond barebones people begin to have expectations for that quality to at least continue in future games. Ironically Mystery of the Emblem DS Remake is my favorite despite the story but it can be forgiven for being based on a game from SNES era.

        No, only autists look for gameplay in a JRPG. If the story sucks, the whole game sucks too, since you could be playing Devil May Cry or something similar instead.

    3H's story and writing is the epitome of spreading resources too thin. It tries to do way too much, and delivers on very little of it. Calling 3H well written is like calling Xenoblade 3 well written just because it waves around philosophical bullshit with no actual purpose.

    Three houses has a serious and large scale tone, but it's not particularly better written than any other FE just because it takes itself sort of seriously and puts on airs of being grand.

        Well, for starters, I like how I can beat maddening in Three Houses with initial house, meaning no recruits from other houses, and no fliers. I fricking hate fliers. (But, to be honest, I didn't start 3H on maddening immiediately because that difficulty wasn't available when the game came out, so maybe I was familiar when I tried maddening.)
        In a way, I guess you can say that this makes the game easy. Enage has way too many bullshit moments, and I have a feeling that maddening in Engage is only ''balanced'' if you use DLC emblems.
