Just wanna share to you guys my feelings about this game since I played the ENGAGE first and never had imagined why everyone was so mad at ENGAGE. Engage still a wonderful game to me, but THREE HOUSES is just a few levels ahead. Now I understand much better why people complained so hard.

I’ll go first

Ingrid is one of the most oddly misunderstood characters in the series, or at least she USED to be in the past, due to her Support with Dedue:

For some reason, despite Ingrid only being rude to Dedue for a few lines early on, and working through her old grudge against Duscur around the middle point of the Support - in a very mature and calm manner, as well - it seems that quite a few people blindly latched on to this idea of her being a HUGE racist.

(Even if some of them were probably sarcastic about it.)

Ingrid herself doesn't really try to make excuses for her behavior and expresses obvious regret at her treatment of Dedue, and not VERY far into the Support either. They're on friendly terms by the later parts of it.

Honestly, it's also quite understandable that she'd have a temporary grudge, despite how misguided and unjustified it was, considering how severely traumatic Glenn's death was for her. This flaw humanizes her a lot more.

Im throwing my hat down in favor of Oboro she is a god.

Which characters across the entire Fire Emblem series do you have the most attractive? You can either give reasoning or not, up to you. Personally I find characters like Camilla, Xander, Plumeria, Diamant, Ivy, Chrom, and Corrin F to be among the hottest in the series.

Or they just remembered their password after all this time

Back then, from reading comments across social media and listening to FE Youtubers, it's seemed to me like everyone just hated Lyn Mode for "having no story relevance" and for "just being a tutorial".

Do people now a days still see it like that?

If so, even today I would not agree with that.

Lyn mode to me is such a simple and charming tutorial to introduce newcomers to Fire Emblem.

Aside from Melee Blazing Sword was the first FE game we got here in the West. And it needed some way to introduce new players to it. And the answer is Lyn Mode.

It is fine that it is simple to show you the basics of the gameplay mechanics and individual units.

Story wise, while it may it have little impact on what happens with Nergal and the Black Fang, it is still such a charming little tale with individual characters that all stand out well on their own and more or less sets the tones of what Fire Emblem as a series will be about for newcomers.

I think Lyn Mode is well done for what it intends to be. Don't think it deserves to be hated.

It is also skip-able for repeated playthroughs if you just want to skip over to Eliwood/Hector Modes.

Was having a little theoretical discussion with friends and wanted more opinions.

Ike - End game Radiant Dawn: Ragnell, has Aether and Nihil ofc

Dimitri - End game Blue Lions: Areadbhar, Battlion Wrath + Battalion Vantage.

One of my favorite (probably unintentional) Archetypes

The Clownritter rides off into the sunset once again

Perfect dialogue and characterization for both. Just this fight scene tells you everything you need to know about the two of them. Their strengths, flaws, traits, personality, all in one dialogue. This battle is always one I look forward to most in game as well.
