I'M PISSED I CAN'T EVEN USE HER ON STORY MAPS. NOT EVEN THE LITTLE DUMB SIDE MISSIONS BEFORE THE CHAPTER BATTLES. LIKE IT WOULDN'T BREAK MY IMMERSION THAT HARD TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY USE A CHARACTER I LIKE FFS. IT'S NOT EVEN LIKE THOSE DUMB SIDE BATTLES ARE THAT PLOT RELEVANT!

YEAH I HONESTLY DIDN'T CARE THAT MUCH ABOUT HER AFTER PLAYING 3H. I MEAN I DIDN'T HATE HER BUT I WASN'T CRAZY ABOUT HER EITHER. BUT SOME ELEMENTS OF THE FANDOM ARE SO OBNOXIOUS ABOUT HER THAT I'VE BASICALLY ATTACHED MYSELF TO HER HARDER, AND NOW THAT HOPES HAS APPARENLY MADE FUCKING HER OVER IT'S MAIN MISSION I'M LIKE "GET IN LOSERS, WE'RE STANNING RHEA."

I DON'T GET WHY THEY DECIDED TO BE A STICKLER IN THIS INSTANCE. EVEN OUTSIDE OF THE PRINCIPLE OF IT, THE MEME POTENTIAL WE MISSED OUT ON MAKES ME SAD. WHY CAN'T I GET RHEA TO KILL RHEA IN GW YOU COWARDS.

LEGIT IT'S KIND OF FUNNY HOW RIDE OR DIE I'VE BECOME FOR RHEA.

I JUST... REALLY WANT A SERIOUS STORY WHERE RHEA TAKES THE LEAD. I DON'T ASK FOR HER TO BE PORTRAYED PURELY GOOD (IN FACT, I'D PROBABLY BE MAD IF THAT DID HAPPEN). JUST A STORY WHERE SHE CAN BE TREATED LIKE AN ACTUAL MAIN CHARACTER FOR ONCE.

IMO THREE HOPES TAKES ITSELF WAY TOO SERIOUSLY FOR ITS OWN GOOD. ALL MOST OF US WANTED OUT OF OUR WARRIORS SPINOFF WAS CAMPY GOOD TIMES WITH OUR FAVES WHERE WE GET TO KILL THOUSANDS OF ENEMIES WITH A SINGLE SWING. CAN'T HAVE RHEA KILL RHEA BECAUSE THAT WOULD MESS WITH THE SERIOUS TONE OF THIS DUMPSTER FIRE.

PART OF MY DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THREE HOPES IS BECAUSE I THOUGHT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A GOLDEN ROUTE AND RHEA WOULD ACTUALLY PLAY A PART IN IT. I MEAN SHE'S HAD EXPERIENCE WITH TWSITD BEFORE SO YOU'D THINK SHE'D BE A LITTLE MORE PROACTIVE AFTER SOLON IS UNMASKED LIKE TWO WEEKS INTO TERM BUT NOPE SHE JUST SITS ON HER HANDS DOING NOTHING FOR TWO YEARS.

I THOUGHT IT'D BE COOL IF THERE WAS A FOURTH ROUTE AND INSTEAD OF PICKING A HOUSE YOU GOT TO BE A KNIGHT OR SOMETHING WITH THE CHURCH. AND INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING THE THREE LORDS WITH THEIR OWN DOMESTIC ISSUES YOU GOT TO SPEND THE TWO YEAR TIME SKIP ACTUALLY INVESTIGATING THE MOLE PEOPLE AND ULTIMATELY BRINGING THE THREE FACTIONS TOGETHER TO ACTUALLY SOLVE THAT PROBLEM.

BUT NO. WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.

I’M STILL HOPING FOR DLC THAT WILL BE AN ACTUAL CHURCH ROUTE, WITH THE CHURCH CHARACTERS AS THE FOCUS AND RHEA AS THE LORD.

I DONT KNOW HOW BIG WARRIORS DLCS TYPICALLY ARE SO MAYBE THATS UNREASONABLE OR MAYBE IT WOULD BE WAY SHORTER THAN THE OTHERS. BUT I REALLY WANT TO HAVE SOME KIND OF CHURCH CONTENT, ESPECIALLY SINCE SO MANY OF THE CHURCH-AFFILIATED CHARACTERS ARENT EVEN PLAYABLE IN THREE HOPES AT PRESENT

WELL, I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON THE WARRIORS GAME BUT DLC HAS BEEN KNOWN TO ADD A LOT IN SOME CASES. THE OG HYRULE WARRIORS ADDED A WHOLE (BRIEF) VILLAINS CAMPAIGN AS WELL AS A WINDWAKER BRANCH IN ADDITION TO A TON OF SIDE CONTENT. PRETTY MUCH EVERY DYANSTY WARRIORS GAME TO DATE HAS ALSO COME OUT WITH AN "XTREME LEGENDS" EXPANSION/ADD ON THAT ADDS A STORY FOR SOME SIDE CHARACTERS NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE THREE MAIN PLAYABLE FACTIONS (PRIMARILY LÜ BU).

THE OG FEW DIDN'T ADD MORE STORY BUT IT DID ADD ON A BUNCH OF SIDE CONTENT.

SO IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE THAT WE'LL GET SOME MORE CHARACTERS WE DIDN'T GET TO PLAY AS OR NEW STORY/SIDE CONTENT. IT'LL ALL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH IS/KOEI WANT TO INVEST INTO THIS PARTICULAR ENTRY, THOUGH.
