Why the game kinda hates Edelgard?


Recommended Posts

Crimson Flower would have been a good deal better if there had been a cinematic for the time skip like the other Houses, then get the Reunion at Dawn chapter battle afterwards like them, then later on before they take on Rhea they turn on Those Who Slither in the Dark by confronting Arundel in a Chapter, which then leads them to their base for the City Without Lights chapter.

Although then it would be really weird to have Blue Lions be the odd one out where the terrorist cult isn't fought. Preferably it would be there too, which would make it the longest route.

Probably the character-driven story it's the reason the Arundel/Thales thing was never completely explored with Dimitri; after all his story depended completely in his character arc and recover Faerghus from Cornelia's evil deeds and Edelgard's war.

Dimitri's story ended the moment he became a Good King and ruler of Fodlan; anything else would be the cherry on top.

In the other hand, Edelgard having a final confrontation with Thales is something that would actually fit her narrative; not with the same strenght as defeating Rhea and reunite Fodlan of course, which was after all her main objective in the story.

And that is the reason I'm totally okay with the idea of the Edelgard cutscene being the battle with Rhea; and if it's possible, having the rest of the story as future maps in the updates (the story can be closed with 2 or 3 chapters, the total annihaltion of the TWSITD isn't needed because of the several minor conflicts it still continued for some years referenced in the endings).

But of course, seeing Thales dead in her route would without a doubt bring a definitive end to the evils of the past.
