i was so excited by Act I of fire emblem fortune's weave that i have forgotten every modern fire emblem's last act sucks, because its the moment the game goes from character-focused to plot-focused and it SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS

My hot take is: they should be okay with removing permadeath entirely if they aren't writing the game around those permutations I'm not NOT a fan of permadeath generally but I actually do not think it's super interesting mechanically in FE, it just makes you feel more risk averse overall

its fun for the story you make up in your head ("omg so and so died against a general from their country...") but storywise it is 100% bringing the game down. i guess its fun mechanically

I really really want to like it in FE, I just always find myself playing in safe boring ways to keep em alive because I like the specific characters so much. When I turned it off, I realized I was making high risk moves that resulted in cooler organic moments during battles

"but did you get the dietrich/fabio S-rank" YES AND I HAD TO S-RANK CAI FOR IT. THIS IS WHAT IM WILLING TO DO FOR GAY MEN WORLDWIDE #ALLY
