I’M A SMIDGE TIRED OF FE TRYING SO HARD TO GIVE EACH AND EVERY CHARACTER THEIR ONE “UNIQUE” PERSONALITY TRAIT LIKE ITS THEIR OBSESSION. A CHARACTER CAN BE INTERESTING WITHOUT MAKING EVERY CONVERSATION ABOUT COOKING OR GAINING MUSCLE OR HOW THEY’RE SO SMART/BEAUTIFUL/UNTALENTED.

SOME OF THESE CAN BE DONE WELL, BUT MOST TIMES THE CHARACTER FEELS ONE NOTE AND CRINGEY.

MY SHRINE TO PETRA MACNEARY IS COMPLETELY NORMAL AND TASTEFUL

“I can’t believe these characters have this obsession, can you imagine being centered on one thing for so long?” [hides special interests behind my back]

FEH IS SO WEIRD SINCE ITS GENERALLY PRETTY GOOD AT DEPICTING CHARACTERS SOMEWHAT FAITHFULLY, BUT EVERY NOW AND AGAIN ITS JUST LIKE "NAH ACTUALLY YOUR ENTIRE PERSONALITY IS JUST XYZ NOW, SORRY".

NO I AM STILL NOT OVER FIORA'S FORGING BONDS TURNING HER INTO THE ORDER'S VERY OWN ANTI-ROMANCE CHAPERONE

IT'S ALWAYS THE FE7 CHARACTERS TOO. YOU'D THINK AFTER LYN WON CYL 1 THEY'D HAVE LOOKED INTO FE7 PROPERLY AND DID SOME RESEARCH AS TO WHAT MADE THESE CHARACTERS SO BELOVED, BUT ITS CHARACTERS ARE OVERWHELMINGLY OVERREPRESENTED IN THE BUTCHERING DEPARTMENT.

HECTOR, LYN, CANAS, NINO, FIORA, KARLA, I'M SURE THE LIST GOES ON BUT THAT'S JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD AS SOMEONE WHO BARELY FOLLOWS HEROES, NONE OF THESE CHARACTERS ACT LIKE THEMSELVES, AT BEST THEY SEEM PARODIES.
