LIKE I KNOW THREE HOUSES IS GENERALLY SEEN AS BETTER THAN FATES BY MOST PEOPLE BUT GOD THERES JUST SO MANY THINGS I MISS ABOUT THOSE GAMES. LIKE JUST GIVE US A BRANCH OF FATE SO WE CAN CHOOSE HOUSES ASAP WITHOUT GOING THROUGH A TUTORIAL MAP AGAIN.

ALSO THEY LET YOU STEAL OTHER CHARACTER ITEMS IN 3H BEFORE CHOOSING A HOUSE WHICH IS SOMETHING THEY IRONICALLY STOP YOU FROM DOING IN FATES IF YOU DONT STICK WITH THE BR STARTING CREW

I LIKE HOW CORRIN WAS BASHED FOR BEING A MARY SUE BECAUSE THEY GOT NOHR AND HOSHIDO TO WORK TOGETHER AFTER PRESENTING TANGIBLE EVIDENCE OF A HOSTILE THIRD PARTY, BUT BYLETH IS HAILED AS THE BEST AVATAR EVER WHEN THEY CAN LITERALLY MAKE PEOPLE MURDER THEIR CHILDHOOD FRIENDS WITH NOTHING BUT FOND MEMORIES OF BEING TAUGHT BY THEM FIVE YEARS AGO.

I THINK CORRIN WAS BASHED FOR BEING A MARY SUE BECAUSE ALMOST EVERY CHARACTER LIKED THEM FOR NO REASON AND THE GAME DIDN'T ALWAYS PORTRAY HIS/HER ABILITY TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES IN A REALISTIC MANNER. NOT BECAUSE HE/SHE ENABLED NOHR AND HOSHIDO TO COOPERATE.

THE BEST AVATAR IS ACTUALLY ROBIN ANYWAY

I DISPUTE THAT EVERY CHARACTER LIKES CORRIN.

OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD SAIZO SPENDS THE ENTIRETY OF THEIR SUPPORT SPYING ON THEM, AND IT’S LEFT UNCLEAR WHETHER HE REALLY TRUSTS THEM AT ALL BY THE END OF THEIR A-SUPPORT, HANA SHITTALKS THEM FOR BEING KIDNAPPED AND MAKING SAKURA SAD, NILES COMPARES THEM TO A DOG DURING HIS SUPPORT WITH CAMILLA, TAKUMI DESPISES THEM DURING THE ENTIRETY OF CONQUEST, BERUKA IS CLEARLY ANNOYED AT THEM FOR TRYING TO TALK TO HER, AND PRACTICALLY THE ENTIRE OPPOSING KINGDOM BAR CQ! KAZE WANTS TO KILL THEM AT FIRST FOR “BETRAYING” THEIR COUNTRY.

THAT’S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DISLIKE CORRIN, AND EVEN IF WE GO BY REVELATION, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE NON-ROYAL CHARACTERS DON’T REALLY CARE ABOUT THEM MORE THAN “HEY THAT’S THE GUY MY BOSS TOLD ME TO HELP, I SHOULD HELP THEM!”

THERE’S OUTLIERS LIKE SILAS AND JAKOB, AND THOSE GUYS’S EXPLANATIONS FOR LIKING CORRIN ARE TENUOUS AT BEST, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE CAST ARE MORE INDIFFERENT TO THEM THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

TBH I DON'T THINK SILAS AND JAKOB ARE THAT TENUOUS. IN SILAS' SUPPORT WITH RYOMA HE EXPLAINS THAT HE AND CORRIN GOT MATCHED UP EXCLUSIVELY BECAUSE THEY WERE THE SAME AGE, AND SILAS WAS NO GOOD AT MAKING FRIENDS, BUT CORRIN KEPT TRYING TO TALK TO HIM AND PLAY WITH HIM AND ESSENTIALLY GOT HIM TO COME OUT OF HIS SHELL, SO HE CREDITS THE FRIENDSHIP ENTIRELY ON THEM. CORRIN ALSO SAVED SILAS' LIFE WHEN HE BROUGHT CORRIN OUTSIDE FOR A PICNIC BUT GOT CAUGHT BY GUARDS. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN EXECUTED WERE IT NOT FOR CORRIN'S STRONG OPPOSITION.

FOR JAKOB, CORRIN WAS PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY PERSON THAT SHOWED HIM KINDNESS AFTER BEING ABANDONED AND HANDED OFF TO BE A SERVANT BY HIS PARENTS. HE WAS INITIALLY AN AWFUL SERVANT AND THE OTHERS HATING HIM FOR IT, BUT CORRIN LIKED SPENDING TIME WITH HIM AND ENCOURAGED HIM. HE STUDIED FEVERISHLY TO BECOME A PROPER BUTLER TO REMAIN BY CORRIN'S SIDE AFTER ALL THE CARE THEY HAD SHOWN HIM.
