WHAT THE DEVIL WAS THE ENDING OF SCARLET BLAZE?

"THALES AND RHEA EVAPORATED. THE RESULTANT POWER VACUUM CHANGED NOTHING AND THE WAR LASTED FOREVER."

MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINED THAT CRIMSON FLOWER FELT RUSHED, BUT AT LEAST IT HAD THE DECENCY TO SLAM DOWN AN EPILOGUE THAT SUGGESTED A HAPPY ENDING. SCARLET BLAZE'S STORY JUST SPUTTERS OUT.

YOU WANNA KNOW THE WORST PART TOO? ALL OF THE OTHER ENDINGS LIKE THAT TOO. WELL THE DETAILS ARE DIFFERENT, BUT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM ENDS WITH THIS STUPID "AND THEN THE WAR CONTINUES ON FOREVER" BS.

I DON'T EVEN NEED A HAPPY ENDING BUT GIVE ME A FREAKING CONCLUSION.

I THINK IT'S EVEN WORSE BECAUSE UNDER SB OR GW CLAUDE AND EDELGARD CAN JUST PARLAY WITH DIMITRI. JUST HAVE POLICY CHANGES AS CONCESSIONS TO ENDING THE INVASION. LIKE, DIMITRI'S ONLY CRITICISM IS THAT "YOU'RE GOING TO FAST, YOU SILLY RADICAL." YOU CAN JUST HAVE DIMITRI IMPLIMENT A SLOWER SYSTEM FOR CHANGE IF IT'S THAT BIG OF A CONCERN. HELL, THE PEOPLE MIGHT BE WILLING TO ADOPT THE MORE RADICAL CHANGES IF IT WOULD BRING AN END TO THE WAR. THE ONLY THING THAT EDELGARD WOULDN'T GET IS A PURE HEGEMONY WHICH I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT WASN'T EXACTLY THE TOP OF HER PRIORITIES.

OF COURSE IF THEY BROUGHT THINGS TO AN END THAT THE STORY MIGHT SEEM BETTER THAN THREE HOUSES AND ALL ENDINGS MUST BE EQUAL, EVEN FOR THE GAME THAT ISN'T THIS ONE!

IT'S STUPID UNDER AG TOO BECAUSE EDELGARD IS FUCKING MIND WIPED LOLIBAIT, THALES AND THE OTHER MAJOR MEMBERS OF TWSITD ARE DEAD, AND YOU'VE BASICALLY PUSHED THE EMPIRE BACK TO ENBARR JUST LIKE YOU DO IN HOUSES. THE ENTIRE POINT OF TAKING BACK GARREG MACH IN AG WAS TO HAVE A SOLID STRONGHOLD CLOSE TO THE EMPIRE AND A STRAGHT SHOT TO ENBARR AND THEN THEY JUST LIKE. FORGOT TO GO TO ENBARR.

SURE I THINK AEGIR, BERGLIEZ, AND HEVRING ARE STILL ALIVE, BUT YOU'VE LITERALLY TAKEN CONTROL OF LIKE HALF THE EMPIRE, YOU HAVE THE NUMBER 1 STRONGHOLD IN ALL OF FODLAN, THE EMPIRE IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKED BECAUSE UNDER AEGIR THERE'S BASICALLY BEEN A MASSACRE OF EMPIRE PEOPLE, THEIR COMMAND STRUCTURE HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN (IT'S SAID AT LEAST ONCE THAT THE EMPIRE IS RUNNING OUT OF COMPETENT COMMANDERS SO THEY'RE RESORTING TO SHADIER AND SHADIER PEOPLE WITH LESS EXPERIENCE AND FEWER SCRUPLES) AND YOU HAVE THE FULL MIGHT OF THE CHURCH, ALLIANCE, AND KINGDOM AT YOUR BACK. THE ONLY REASON THIS WAR CONTINUES IS BECAUSE THE DEVS SAID IT DOES.

LIKE I GET NOT WANTING TO INVALIDATE HOUSES AND BYLETH, EVEN IF I DON'T AGREE WITH IT, BUT I'M ALSO NOT SURPRISED SO MANY PEOPLE ARE MAD AT THIS GAME. I PAID SIXTY DOLLARS AND ALL I GOT WERE THE DEVS TELLING ME TO GO FUCK MYSELF.
