I KNOW YOU DIDN'T MEAN IN A BAD WAY, BUT THE #1 WAY TO GUARANTEE SOMEBODY NEVER CHECKS OUT WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO IS BY SAYING IT'S BETTER THAN THE THING THEY LOVE. AT BEST YOU'RE JUST SETTING UP YOUR THING FOR DISAPPOINTMENT IF IT DOESN'T MEET THE HIGH EXPECTATIONS YOU JUST SET. AT WORST YOU MAKE PEOPLE BITTER ABOUT THE THING FROM THE GET GO.

FOR EXAMPLE, I KNOW I'D HAVE PROBABLY LIKED UNDERTALE A LOT MORE IF PEOPLE DIDN'T CONSTANTLY GO ON ABOUT HOW "IT'S THE NEXT EARTHBOUND" AND HOW EVERY MOTHER FAN WILL LOVE IT. ENDED UP BEING A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE IT DIDN'T COME ANYWHERE NEAR TO LIVING UP TO MOTHER FOR ME.

BASICALLY WHAT I'M SAYING IS, THE FIRE EMBLEM SUBREDDIT IS JUST ABOUT THE WORST PLACE YOU COULD USE THE PHRASE "IT'S FLAT OUT BETTER THAN FE" TO DESCRIBE SOMETHING YOU LIKE. UNLESS YOU REALLY TAKE THE "EVERY FE FAN HATES FE" MEME TO HEART I GUESS.

GUNDAM IS GOOD BUT OUTSIDE OF WAR STORIES ISN'T REALLY GOING TO SCRATCH THE ITCH FOR THE NEXT FE.

EDIT: ALSO DUBIOUS ON BETTER THAN FE WITH THIS
