Hilda and Dorothea may or may not be in similar boats.

Takumi and Oboro are probably in the "Hoshidan Defensive War against the Nohrian Invasion" board gleefully celebrating Hoshidan atrocities and asserting that the counteroffensive is going to start Any Day Now.

Hilda, being so sheltered, would for sure. She wouldn’t know how to handle notoriety without calling her a-logs “haters.” And she’d definitely be a titty streamer or something. She basically has that personality already.

Dorothea would be fine since she’s already dealt with fame and prefers to stay private. She even mentions that certain unnamed people don’t approve of her but she doesn’t let it make her publicly act out. She’d have a thread but it would be inactive.

It was a fun game, but I really didn't like what it did with Claude. I understand that people felt he lacked any real ethical shortcomings, but turning him into a tyrant who decides to join Edelgard, even after the Empire's unprovoked invasion, specifically to kill Rhea for basically existing, felt really wrong to me.

Plus, there's also that bit where he basically threw Randolph to the wolves and everyone involved briefly chews him out about how retarded that ploy was.

And the second half of Azure Gleam just felt stale; like, you've killed off the evil (but guilty) uncle, House Rowe was quickly straightened out, and the court mage took too long to actually hunt down. After that, there's really isn't much of anything particularly interesting aside from pissing off an group of random Imperial nobles and murdering Jeralt. Oh, and there's the anime-styled ending, I guess. It actually fits Dimitri, in an way; but that fight mostly felt that it could have been more epic
 
Three Hopes definitely improves on a lot of stuff. I do miss the monastery but the camp is decent and there is some architecture that is monastery like.

I love that the Ashen Wolves appear and can actively participate around camp and in battle despite not appearing in cutscenes (so far).

Also Monica actually having relevance as opposed to random red shirt macguffin in Houses is interesting. Colleen O'Shaunghessy sounds like Kate Higgins at times.

I like that there are a lot more npc's you can talk to as well.
 
Has anyone here gotten around to play Mangs' romhack Andaron Saga?
Not to sound like a shill but over 15 chapters in so far I'm really impressed with the effort put into it. Huge character roster with lots of creative units and maps that come with lots of their own side objectives.
My only substantial issue so far is how reinforcement heavy the maps are. None of them are ambush spawns but I've lost many units to swarms of well decked out cavaliers chasing after me. And since defense oriented chapters aren't uncommon, playing fast isn't really an option to prevent that.

I've downloaded it an intend to play, so I have to give the Egg props for making a full-conversion romhack with his team. Also, Baudimon Andoron Saga

 
Do I want to ask why they're all shirtless, and three seem like triplets?

Played through the "You've killed Jeralt!"route of Scarlet Blaze, the other week, and it has him breaking the truce with the Empire, with most of his classmates either recruited or MIA, for the obligatory 3 way battle for "independence" or something. Sure, it was fun; but it's also kind of dumb, because, you know, the Kingdom is already fighting a losing war and the Alliance has got it kind of easy. But Thales and Rhea mutually killing each other like an pair of rabid hamsters is pretty funny, though.

I think Three Houses discourse is so weird is because the people who are Dimitri or Die are drawn to the more trad-sentiments of the route but basically just argue that Edelgard has too much Will2Power and didn’t wait her turn. And the Edeltards like Edelgard for being a girl and promising a more progressive future but then also feel the need to justify Edelgard in moral rather than aspirational terms (the moral argument is kind of boring because nobody would care about the story without Edelgard being its catalyst).
 
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is the best game in the franchise by a mile, I'm gonna replay it pretty soon and then finally finish Radiant Dawn. I got stuck a long time ago in some sandy castle or something with a bunch of transforming animal enemies, I think. That game was a lot tougher.

I love Path of Radiance too, it has my favorite cast in the series with the perfect blend of distinct characters without going overboard on their characteristics (not counting Ilyana) and overall good maps with so much attention to detail.
Radiant Dawn is tough since you shift so much around different armies and characters can just come and go as they please, plus the enemies have competent stats against anything that isn't Haar.
 
I lied. 3 Copes is.....mid. 3H wins still.
I was thinking of trying Engage because I was looking at a video review and it looks funny and light hearted as opposed to dark. But apparently the aspects from 3H that were so popular are absent here thanks to Intelligent Systems doing this instead of Koei Tecmo.

I've heard that the isekai story sucks. Apparently supports are extremely short and there's no menu option to view them like there always has AND there's no NG+?!

Is the DLC even good? I saw that they included a woman who will summon units at random. And apparently you never know which of the three lords from 3H will attack which sounds interesting.

Engage is definitely the much better game if you actually do care about the tactical strategy stuff, straight to the point and polished out, whereas 3H is really an oddball and felt closer to a japanese ADV & school simulation title (with the tactical gameplay being treated as secondary) instead of the usual Fire Emblem.

I also liked the characters in Engage (special mention to FemMC Ryuuru who was the cutest) but I say this as someone who played the game fully in japanese while the english TL is the usual localization garbage. It could be argued that the setting was under-cooked and the pacing suffered mostly from the gameplay itself (by giving freedom to the player to setup whatever + permadeath on non-lord units) but I could still easily tell it was full of good intentions. It has cool twists and nice callbacks to previous games.

I haven't played the alternate dimension DLC because it released a few months later after I did finish the main game, so I cannot help you much. I only remember the levels in this side-story have pre-fixed levels and stats, regardless of your progress in the main game, so it sounds more likely you have to fully rely on strategy and planning out rather than having a few buffed units carrying you on the frontlines.
