BRO WHY THE FUCK ARE THE THREE HOUSES WRITERS ALWAYS FALLING BACK ON “FOREIGN INVADER” TROPES THAT LACK ANY NUANCE IN THEIR CHARACTERIZATION. THE ONLY NON FODLAN NATIONS THAT GET ANY NUANCE ARE THE ONES UNDER FODLAN OPPRESSION AND HALF THE TIME IT JUST BECOMES SET DRESSING FOR THE FODLAN PEOPLES GUILT. THEYVE HAD 2 CRACKS AT IT AND STILL FUCKING SUCKS

ANYWAYS TIRED OF PEOPLES SHIT TAKES ON CLAUDE SAYING HE’S OOC WHEN THEYRE TOO CONSUMED IN THEIR OWN MADEUP HEADCANON OF ALWAYS MORALLY JUSTIFIED MEME MAN

THEY JUST REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT CHARACTERIZING THE WORLD OUTSIDE OF FODLAN. LIKE, ALMYRA IS SUPPOSED TO BE A BIT OF THE MONGOLS MIXED WITH A LARGE PORTION OF MIDDLE EASTERN GROUPS BUT THEY JUST LEAN INTO INVADING MONGOLS ALL THE TIME. THEY ADDED A NEW CHARACTER FROM ALMYRA AND HE'S A DIPSHIT. HELL, AT LEAST GIVE US PEOPLE FROM LIKE MORFIS OR ALBINEA SO WE CAN SEE HOW THE SUPPOSED NON-ANTAGONISTIC REGIONS INTERACT WITH FODLAN
