completed dimitri route // femc
silent protagonists can be mildly annoying, but for some reason I really loved byleth. the developers did amazing with conveying her emotions in cutscenes just via facial expressions. i also felt like she was her own person outside of the player, which is not typical for silent protagonists.
fire emblem combat remains fun and exciting in this game, and though the visuals are not of the 2019 quality you expect, it felt charming rather than sloppy. the teaching system was so uniquely cool (though— it’s quite easy to max out the grinding system, and i often found myself with nothing to do on off days), and thinking about running around the monastery makes me feel nostalgic.
i had prior context to the claude route, so it made the dimitri route a lot cooler to see what was actually going on both their sides! dimitri’s story was great, but the dimitri angst quickly became annoying post-time skip.
i love three houses! felix marriage for the win
