Good afternoon everyone.
I am the aforementioned "friend" of the lovely WhistyRose here. I'm not here to budge in or belittle anyone, my only intention is to simply shed some light on some of the questions that have been asked around here.
I like to think of this as not just an "alternate universe" but rather an "alternate telling" of the Revelation Story for Fates. Don't get me wrong, I love the game and the countless hours of fun it provided me, but at times I believe that the devs could have gone farther or done more with certain points that were touched. To me its like building a museum, filling it with extravagant exhibits, but only allowing the guests to explore only certain areas, and fencing off the rest. Aspects like the Nohrian Concubine War, the building of tension between Hoshido and Nohr eventually leading to war, the collapse of Valla, the tragedy of King Garon. This is only a small list of interesting concepts suggested, but was never really given time to develop or have a major impact. This is where our intentions lie; to strengthen already rich lore, and pick up what the original story dropped, through role play of the characters already scene ingame and with OC's. Creating new stories, but also playing through Canon scenarios you see during your play through. Primary focuses are in explaining the backstories of both royal families more in depth, Corrin's/Clara's upbringing in the Northern Fortress, the brewed stress of Clara's inevitable decision between her two families, the liberation of Valla from Anankos and finally what happens AFTER the game ends.
Hopefully this clears the water in areas, and I don't come off as the stuck up creator who has way too much pride in his ideas.
