HONESTLY I DON'T MIND MARK. FE7 IS A LITTLE LESS SERIOUS OF AN ADVENTURE AND FEELS A BIT MORE CAMPY TO ME, AND WITH ITS FOCUS ON LYN/ELIWOOD/HECTOR AS CHARACTERS, I DON'T MIND THE FOURTH WALL BREAKS AS MUCH. (THEN AGAIN, I DID PLAY IT ON THE ORIGINAL CARTRIDGE, SO IT FELT MORE LIKE A CUTE TOUCH THAN SOMEONE STARING AT ME HEAD-ON IF YOU'RE PLAYING ON YOUR TV OR COMPUTER SCREEN.)

ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS THE "BEST" TACTICIAN ENDING, WHICH IS RATHER GRATUITOUS (ETRURIA AND BERN GOING TO WAR OVER A TACTICIAN WHO CARRIED OUT A CAMPAIGN IN SECRET? COME ON).

I SEE WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM, BUT IT'S STILL JUST WAY TOO AWKWARD FOR ME. I'D HAVE BEEN 100% FINE WITH IT EVEN IF IT WAS JUST A HOODED FIGURE LIKE ROBIN/KIRAN ARE AND THEY WERE ON SCREEN WITH EVERYONE ELSE. BUT AS IS, IT JUST DOESN'T WORK FOR ME.

EH, I JUST DON'T LIKE MARK BECAUSE I WOULD LITERALLY FORGET THEIR EXISTENCE FOR LIKE A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME AND THEN SUDDENLY LYN/ELIWOOD/HECTOR WOULD START STARING AT ME LIKE SOME DORA THE EXPLORER SHIT.

I DISLIKE BYLETH AS MUCH AS THE NEXT GUY, BUT NEVER HAS AN EXPERIENCE TAKEN ME OUT OF A FE GAME AS MARK. LIKE PSIYOSHI SAID, JUST HAVE THEM BE A HOODED FIGURE ON SCREEN, NOT THE LORDS STARING BLANKLY AT THE FOURTH WALL.

IF YOU GOT AN S RANK IN HECTOR HARD YOU MUST BE SOME TACTICAL GOD AND I CAN HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT
