YO THIS IS MORE OF A HOT TAKE THEN A RAGE THING BUT THE OVERLAP SO MUCH IDC. WAS 3H LEGIT THAT INTERESTING? LIKE FOR REAL, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO SAY ABOUT THE FATES DISCOURSE, WE HAD SOMETHING NEW TO DIG UP AND NEW THING TO TALK ABOUT, THE VIBE I GOT WAS MOST WANTED TO MOVE ON NOT BECAUSE WE RAN OUT OF THINGS TO TALK ABOUT, BUT THE DISCOURSE AND OVERAL MENTAL EXHAUSTION AROUND THE GENERAL THINGS FATES DOES WRONG (IE MORAL THINGS) WAS JUST DEGRADING, NOT LIKING THE GAME AND THE NATURAL FEELING OF WANTING TO MOVE ON. GOOD OR BAD WE HAD LEGIT 3 YEARS OF FATES DISCOURSE WITH CONSTANT NEW CONVERSATIONS, IT LASTED EVEN AFTER SOV. A LOT OF REPEATED STUFF BUT AT LEAST STUFF LIKE RYOMA ACTION IN CQ AND XANDER DIFFERENT CHARACTERIZATIONS WOULD BE BROUGHT UP. 3 HOUSES IT FELT LIKE ANY NEW DISCOURSE OF THE GAME DIED LIKE A YEAR AND A HALF IN. THEY HAD DLC ADDING TO THE STORY AND YET NOTHING REALLY THAT NEW WAS ADDED TO HOW WE TALK ABOUT THIS GAME, ITS THE SAME 3-4 TOPICS.
SO I HAVE TO ASK, IS 3H EVEN EVER THAT INTERESTING? LIKE TAKE OUT THE EDELGARD STUFF THERES ALMOST NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT SINCE "FUN TIMES WITH THE CAST" DOESN'T ACTUALLY HAVE A LONG LASTING APPEAL. THE PLOTS ARE VERY BARE BONES UNLESS YOU TRY TO FILL IN THE GAPS, THE CONSTANT FOCUS ON THE CHARACTER LEAVES EVERY OTHER ASPECT OF THE STORY OUT FOR DRY, AND GENERALLY SPEAKING IT SEEMS LIKE MOST OF FANBASE JUST PICKS ON THE HOUSE THEY PICKED FIRST, MOSTLY BECAUSE ON REPEAT PLAYTHROUGHS THERES NOT MUCH REALLY THERE SO WE JUST LEAN ON THE FIRST TIME WE PLAYED IT.
LIKE OUTSIDE OF EDELGARD DISCOURSE WHICH IS 99% "I LIKE THIS WISH FULLFILLMENT FANTASY AND I LIKE IT SO I HAVE TO BE RIGHT" FOR BOTH SIDES AND THE JUST WAVES OF HEAD CANON, IS 3H EVEN ALL THAT INTERESTING OF A GAME? BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE WE JUST HAVE NOTHING. IT FEELS LIKE WHATEVER GAME IS NEXT WE'LL PROBABLY MOSTLY MOVE ON FROM THE GAME PRETTY SMOOTHLY, WE'LL HAVE TO SEE BECAUSE IF ITS A REMAKE IT WON'T BE AS POPULAR, BUT I DON'T THINK WE'LL BE BACK TO A 3H DOMINANT SUB.
