no game is ever going to make me feel the shrimp emotions fe3h made me feel so the bar for few3h is ludicrously high already but also the mere suggestion that the plotline might have something to do with time travel, correcting mistakes, and a “nobody dies” kind of route has shot my expectations up to truly unobtainable levels. if i don’t like this game i am going to end up wanting to write a novel-length fix-it and that’s just something i am going to have to try and make my peace with beforehand.

Guess I'll make a post about playing Fire Emblem Three Hopes so uhh 'few3h spoilers' will be tagged as such.

Anyway I already like the portrayal of Byleth a lot better here than in Three Houses. They have a rep for being a scary good mercenary and are called 'The Ashen Demon' but we never get to see that in Three Houses. Almost everyone just immediately loves them, they're pretty much always portrayed as being on the 'right' side of the conflict, and they feel very impersonal as a character.

Not because they're unemotional or unexpressive, they're just so unconnected to the story and the other characters most of the time. Their character writing is so, so bizarre in Three Houses. But in Three Hopes, the Ashen Demon title finally makes sense. Watching them take out the new player character Shez's whole mercenary band like it's absolutely nothing and then being flippant about it before nearly killing Shez gave them more characterization than they ever really had in Three Houses, despite being a rather poorly implemented player-insert in a game that can take 250+ to finish all the routes of and me only having seen them in the first 20 minutes so far. I don't hate Byleth and never have, they just felt like a lot of wasted potential and it was frustrating.

Anyway yeah they seem to have at least partially fixed that so I'm happy. Those *maybe* 20 minutes did more to garner my interest in them than anything that happened in Three Houses, and their personality didn't really change, it was always about presentation.
