#all the church-affiliated characters got shafted in terms of characterization

[loregoddess]

I’ve more or less made peace with the fact that I just, simply, do not like the story pacing and writing choices for Golden Wildfire now that I’m almost at the end, but it still really irks me that the writers decided to completely ignore Cyril and all his significance in terms of worldbuilding, like, I get not making him playable, but it’s now really clear that the writers didn’t even bother to pay attention to him at all which I get he wasn’t that popular a character but still, if you’re going to ignore all the worldbuilding, both the telling and the showing, at least try to write a well-paced AU for your official spinoff game story.

#all the church-affiliated characters got shafted in terms of characterization #I think Catherine and maybe Seteth and Flayne were still in-character but mostly to play up the joke traits of each #which like I get bc Houses gives the player no incentive to use those characters in any of the routes but STILL #some of these writing choices are like burning water while trying to cook #like I get the lore's spotty at best but ignoring the stuff that's plainly laid out to see is just bad writing #I GUESS technically all the Deer characters are TECHNICALLY in character through so I can't complain there #it's just the rest of the writing that's such a nightmare these wonderful fun characters don't get to shine like they deserve #honestly I can't wait to be finished w/ GW so I can finally move onto SB #bc as much as I know I'm going to hate parts of that I've seen some spoilers and know I get to see some angst for a few of my faves #so yay? #*sigh* #I really do love FE and specifically this universe I really do I wouldn't complain so much if I didn't #it's just the writing is SO bad at times and the world and setting and characters all deserve so much better #oracle of lore
