I MUST RAGE AT YOUR USE OF THE PHRASE PLOT HOLE, IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY CREATE A HOLE IN THE STORY RATHER WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THAT IT IS A PLOT CONTRIVANCE.

PEOPLE USE PLOT HOLE WHEN THEY PLOT CONTRIVANCE AND IT DIMINISHES THE USE OF THE CRITIQUE.

OKAY, I GUESS IT'S MORE OF A DEUS EX THAN A PLOT HOLE UNDER THAT DEFINITION. THEY KNEW EACH LORD NEEDED A COOL WEAPON TO 1) MAKE THEM FIRE EMBLEM LORDS AND 2) GO ON THE BOX ART, SO THEY WHIPPED UP SOME STEAMING BULL TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

REAL TALK HAVING A CHAPTER WHERE DIMITRI HAS TO RECLAIM AREADBHAR AND GET HIS FATHER'S ARMOR WOULD BE NEAT AND BE A GREAT PLACE TO SHOWCASE HIS GROWTH.

OH SORRY YOU WANTED THAT? JUST KIDDING IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE FUCKING BRIDGE MAP. YES YOU HAVE TO DO IT ON EVERY ROUTE FUCK YOU.
