And there's still how the game never properly addresses what Validar and assorted other named Grimleal get out of helping Grima destroy humanity. Or when and how the Grimleal formed around Grima to begin with.

Naruto went downhill after Zabuza. From the ''SAVE SAUCE-KUN'' arc onward, Kishimoto smashed any potential the setting had with a Uchiha Brand Sledgehammer. Good thing we have Hunter x Hunter.

Making a man have long hair doesn't turn him into a woman. Libra's body besides his head was hard to confuse for a woman's.

If Tsubaki was to supposed to be a woman then he would have been designed as one. And Libra was designed as a man.

''Help a dragon destroy humanity so you'll be eaten'' And what do they get out of helping you? No more than territory or gold. ''Religion'' isn't really a thing. Sure, Richard Dawkins.

And what do any of the Grimleal get out of helping Grima?

And then it's revealed Aqua is the Ner'zhul to Kamui's Arthas. Complete with a merge.

I'll put ''Join an enemy to both kingdoms'' on the list.

Pegasus riding wasn't restricted to women in Marth's games before the remakes.

Would anybody doubt Tsubaki being a man if he wasn't on a pegasus?

He failed at every major task, or the task backfired on him. Capturing Emmeryn led to a mass desertion. Backstory. And Basilio still being alive made it that nobody in Walhart's army bothered to make sure he was actually dead. So Validar is a huge failure outside of backstory. If Grima cared that much about not changing the future then he shouldn't have brought an undead army with him. So Grima wasted time for a woman and a bunch of gemstones she didn't need.

Christians aren't required push along the destruction of the world or humanity. I guess you're also disregarding Satan being cast into a lake of burning sulfur, and God dwelling with humanity in the New Jerusalem after The Last Judgement. Put in assorted examples of God aiding His worshipers in canonical scriptures, and your example doesn't help you.

The Treaty of Versailles didn't go far enough in removing Germany as a threat to its neighbors. Germany's economy would have been in trouble regardless of the reparations.

Your Germany example doesn't help you, seeing as how the Allies were just as harsh on it after WW2, if not even harsher. And frankly, letting Daein be ''independent'' so soon after the war is ridiculous.

Except that the canonical scriptures have assorted examples of the Abrahamic god aiding His believers. While there are no grounds to say that Grima would be even half as helpful.

That's not acceptable. The game never properly addresses what the Grimleal get out of helping Grima. No civilization has had ''destroy humanity'' as a cause among the major worshipers. Satanists at large don't. Neither did the worshipers of Quetzalcoatl.

>Runs into a trap after a bunch of Pegasus Knights were wiped out. Anything else? And her ''sacrifice'' actually working was poor writing.

It's even worse when you consider how she gets propped up as a saint while Gangrel and Walhart are set as jerkfaces to be beaten down then later recruited with The Real Superpower Of Teamwork.

Emmeryn was a screwup anyway.

Is it a problem if the worshipers have a developed ideology, unlike the Grimleal?

That's an insult to Cthulhu.

The present Robin didn't become Grima, and Validar failed to fetch all the gemstones. Grima still freed her present body.He didn't need the gemstones or the present Robin.

None of that prevents every mother only having 4 pairings.

He didn't need the gemstones. Grima was able to free his present body without them.

You have Validar going around getting beaten and/or outmaneuvered outside of backstory. You have Grima sitting around and having his forces chase the gemstones instead of freeing his present body ASAP. Contrast them to Manfloy. Who actually wins outside of backstory.
