Yeah this is only for the avatar character, otherwise I think it would be pretty bad. I agree but maybe it could work if the options were more limited than your average CRPG, and the support count for the avatar was limited. Good point, I hadn't really thought of that. Maybe they could just make the avatar a plain tactician for the lord of the game and give them little to no main story interaction like Mark? I think an idea for that would be flavor text responses that don't affect the main story but do show off your personality a bit. At most you would be able to initiate what branch of the story you want to do if they go that route again.

I thought it would be a neat idea if in future games if they decide to keep the avatar character they make it so supports actually have dialogue options that matter. So for instance if you say something a character really doesn't like you might cut off the support with them at B, but if you get along with them you can go all the way to S. The conversations would also change in future supports depending on what choice you picked. Obviously it won't happen due to the wish fulfillment aspect of the series now, they wouldn't be able to write a support with every single unit in the game which means you wouldn't be able to have a relationship with every unit in the game.

Get outta here *hic* ya filthy sub-human.
