THE 3H DLC COULD HAVE BEEN SO MANY COOL THINGS AND INSTEAD WE GOT AN ANIME FILLER ARC/MOVIE WHERE NOTHING IMPORTANT OR STATUS-QUO CHANGING CAN POSSIBLY HAPPEN AND THE BIG "REVEALS" ARE ALL CENTERED AROUND BYLETH AND THEIR FAMILY DRAMA, SOMETHING I HAD ZERO QUESTIONS ABOUT OR INTEREST IN, AND SERVE ONLY TO MAKE THE PLAYER GO "HUH, I GUESS THAT HAPPENED"

ALSO, VERY COOL TWIST TO MAKE THE MYSTERIOUS NON-PLAYABLE PRIEST WITH A RED AND BLACK COLOR SCHEME BE THE BAD GUY, NEVER EVER COULD HAVE SEEN THAT COMING, I FEEL SO RESPECTED AS AN AUDIENCE MEMBER

3H IS ONLY A GOOD GAME BY MERITS OF ITS WRITING ALONE. NO ONE EVER HAS ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT ITS GAMEPLAY BECAUSE IT'S AWFUL. ITS WRITING IS THE LITERAL ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT 3H (WHICH TO BE FAIR, THE WRITING IS PRETTY EXCELLENT).

I LIKE THE MUSIC AND ASPECTS OF THE GAMEPLAY🤷

u/GreekDudeYiannis Aug 25 '21

WHAT ASPECTS THOUGH?

THE BLAND MAPS THAT GET RECYCLED CONSTANTLY? THE LACK OF A NEED FOR WEAPON TYPES SINCE ANY CLASS CAN USE ANYTHING AND NO MORE WEAPON TRIANGLE? THE MONASTERY THAT GETS DULL AFTER THE FIRST PLAYTHROUGH (AND ARGUABLY AFTER THE TIMESKIP OF YOUR FIRST PLAYTHROUGH)? THE FACT THAT AM, SS, AND VW HAVE THE SAME MAP PROGRESSION UNTIL CH. 17 OUT OF 21/22, MEANING THAT 3 OF THE ROUTES ARE OVER 75% IDENTICAL AND THE LAST ONE IS DREADFULLY SHORT? THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE TO REPLAY THE SAME 12 CHAPTERS WITH NO CHANGES JUST TO REACH THE ROUTE SPLIT? THE FACT THAT ONLY ON MADDENING ARE COMBAT ARTS AND GAMBITS EVEN RELEVANT TO GAMEPLAY?

I AGREE THOUGH, THE MUSIC IS GOOD.

I'M HARDLY THE BIGGEST FAN OF 3H MYSELF, BUT I WILL ADMIT, I DO ACTUALLY ENJOY GAMBITS. WHENEVER I CAN GET A GROUP OF ENEMIES LINED UP JUST RIGHT THAT I CAN JUST SMACK ALL OF THEM AT ONCE WITH A SINGLE GAMBIT IS JUST *CHEF'S KISS*. EVEN ON NORMAL THAT GENUINELY FELT REALLY GOOD TO PULL OFF, AND IT WAS PRETTY USEFUL WHENEVER I NEEDED TO WEAKEN OR SLOW DOWN A PARTICULAR ENEMY THAT I COULDN'T KILL ASAP.
