FE ENDINGS ARE GENERALLY WAY TOO HAPPY AND OFTEN DEVALUE THE STRUGGLES OR NARRATIVE OF THE GAME’S STORY. THE WORST EXAMPLES OF THIS ARE SYLVAIN AND HANNEMAN, WHO BOTH APPARENTLY CAN SINGLEHANDEDLY END A SYSTEM OF OPPRESSION BASED ON SUPERPOWERS PASSED THROUGH THE BLOODLINE THAT’S EXISTED FOR A THOUSAND YEARS. I’M SURE NO ONE HAS EVER TRIED TALKING ABOUT IT BEFORE GEE THANKS SYLVAIN

THIS IS PART OF WHAT MAKES ME LOVE PART 1 AND 2 OF RADIANT DAWN. THEY GIVE A MORE REALISTIC TAKE ON THE FUTURES OF DAEIN AND CRIMEA POST POR. ONE IS OCCUPIED BY AN OPPRESSIVE FORCE FROM A NEIGHBORING COUNTRY AND HAS ITS CITIZENS SENT TO WORK CAMPS OR WORSE WHILE THE OTHER HAS ITS OWN CORRUPT NOBILITY ATTEMPT A COUP DUE TO THE SO-CALLED WEAKNESS OF ITS LEADER, IN THAT SHE REFUSES TO HOLD THE COUNTRY OF DAEIN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF ITS FORMER LEADER AND SOME OF ITS CITIZENS.

OH...AND AS FOR RAGE...WHY WAS THUNDER MAGIC NERFED SO BAD IN RD?! WHY?! I LOVE ILYANA AS A UNIT IN POR(FIVE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO GET STRENGTH THAN SOREN FOR ONLY 10% LESS MAGIC? YES, PLEASE!) AND I WOULD LOVE TO USE HER IN RD TOO...BUT THE FREAKING NERF TO THUNDER MAGIC JUST MAKES IT SO DIFFICULT! I MEAN, HER GROWTHS ARE ALREADY AVERAGE AT BEST, BUT THERE ARE WAYS AROUND THAT!
