Three Houses I admittedly have a soft spot for, but that’s because you can make all your units into whatever you want with enough time and NG+ runs, and I like seeing the kind of broken shit I can produce. Games honestly easy to just solo with the MC or any of the Lords - maps full of chokes, easy to over level after a certain point, AI might be retarded unless you’re on Maddening where it cheats…
If you like Conquest, Engage is like Conquest 2.0 but with more general QoL. Shit ass story, though I like the main character a little bit more then Corncob, but the gameplay is imo generally great. Challenging enough, but not horse shit annoying garbage like 3H's ambush spawns or extremely obnoxious early game if you try to make it hard. Hard mode in Engage is also a reasonable challenge unlike 3H hard mode which is just Journalist difficulty+ imo, so you can have a little bit of bite without needing to struggle too much if you need that.
Fate's was pretty infamous for its localization fuckery too, I've even heard some people cite Fates JP and Fates EN might as well be different stories due to how they handle the script. Even corncob is apparently better as Kamui in Fates by not being quite as much of a dumb retard who spouts platitudes while the story ensures they win, but more like a very tender sweet heart who's forced into a rough spot by the plot.
that's what i plan on: i will be the most convincing trap
Come to think of it I feel like Alear is a bit on the weaker side compared to Corrin,Robin and Byleth.
In combat? Yes, Alear's combat is kind of bad because they're all speed and middling strength in a game that punishes average physical units due to high defenses.
My issue is I don't think Sothe would really want to stay around for that as he like all of PoR Ike's army likes the laguz on some level and will fight and die for them. Sothe might not actually do much in actual player run practice, but Sothe in the story had Laguz war comrades so I'd presume he actually likes them and doesn't want to fight a race filled war. Tormod would probably actually kick her ass for that too given how much of a literal hot head he is. I think Miccy could use a little bit of outright resentment, ala Stefan for example, but I don't know if making her a full blown racist is the right call for the sake of conflict. Maybe if you reorganized the story some more you could.
Funny enough i had a similar idea with Ike, but going on the opposite direction: hopping on the Laguz barbed cock so hard he starts encouraging the Beorc genocide Caineghis' shitty nephew and in part Tibarn were pushing for, basically doing a 180° on his character development from the first game, just for him to realize his fuck up in part 4, and then when he fucks off from the continent in the ending it would be out of shame for betraying his principles in anger for what the senators where doing to the Laguz. No matter what way you go to, RD's biggest flaw was that it tried to do a clash of 2 sympathetic parties, but at the same time it tried to have both of them in the moral high ground, with the only real pushback being Micaiah forced to fight because of the blood pact asspull.
Yeah, RD kinda undoes whatever it was going for the second it reintroduces Ike. Bringing him back at all feels like it sabotaged Micaiah, because who is the player more likely to sympathize with? The hero of the last game who is fighting for the Laguz, who the story makes clear have every right to fight back against the corrupt Begnion senate--or the newbie who is forced to fight a bigot war for some country she doesn't even like because her king got fucked over by magic bullshit paper?
Considering Naesala can overwrite the blood pact's voodoo because he manages to work for the one who is in authority over the one who he signed it with in the first place, and this works so good that he can just murder his way through the problem, the blood pact just knows okay? It is all knowing. Poopenfarden would just get a plague anyway, locus will swarn upon the land, and the Goddess herself will drop an atomic missile from the sky and blow up the country.
That's kind of why I like the idea of making Micaiah a raving racist, at least to start. She doesn't have a character arc at all, and part 3 would be so much better if the conflict was driven by the characters rather than contrived circumstances. The Blood Pact turns what should have been THE highlight of the story into a sequence that's just frustrating to read. Even the Greil Mercenaries bring it up when they had them cornered Ike essentially tells her "Bitch, do you want to fucking die? I can tell you're not a terrible person, why are you even wrapped up in this!" If the messaging were more along the line of "people who are fundamentally good can have big personality flaws", it would go a long way toward making the conflict more interesting.
The Dawn Brigade would just need to be all new characters at that point, because Zihark would never work with a racist like that or Jill even considering their arcs are about fighting against those kinds of people considering where they came from. Zihark lost his furry girlfriend to racism, he wouldn't deal with someone wanting to burn all the furries. Jill killed her own dad to stand up for what she thought was right and a huge part of her PoR development is overcoming her hatred of the laguz.
The way I see it being played out is that Sothe sticks around her because she's just the most important person in his life. He knows better than anybody that she's not completely irredeemable. And it's the first desert chapter 1-4 that kind of begins the change in character; you can set it up so that Volug and Nailah play a part in the actual fighting. Being rescued by a bunch of half breeds from a bunch of half breeds is bound to confuse her, and sets her up to have a life altering change of heart later. You can put her in a state where she begrudgingly admits that some Laguz are worthwhile. It creates a reasonable excuse as to why Zihark and the rest would be willing to put up with her in order to see their homeland restored.
