    Who are your least favorite 3H characters?

    in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

    Posted · Edited by Xanaxian

    Let's begin with the obvious.

    Gilbert, for the reasons stated above. He's a pitiful excuse of a father who shrouds his ego with blind faith. Moreover, unless I'm mistaken (which is possible considering it's been a hot minute since I've played), he never repents or apologizes for his actions in his supports with Annette. Instead, it's empty assurances and tenuous-to-the-point-of-fracturing excuses. While I concede that the game deliberately paints him in a negative light, Gilbert does not put forth any meaningful attempt to amend his ways, instead 

    Spoiler

    unceremoniously bequeathing Annette every letter he "almost" sent to her and her mother.

    He's a selfish old man. Annette deserves better.

    Lorenz, to me, is Ferdinand without character development. While his inability to follow his heart/dreams/aspirations/etc. are undoubtedly a result of his noble standing, he never grows beyond that. Now, in a medieval-feudal society like Fódlan, this is to be expected, but... ugh. Everything about Lorenz seems to bother me, from his design to his personality to his unveiled classist rhetoric to his overly saccharine, foppish speech. 

    I wanted to like Leonie. Unhealthy obsession with Jeralt aside, she initially seemed like she had a determined, headstrong personality. Unfortunately, for me, the former trait is such a glaring flaw that even her hard-working attitude can't nullify it. Peppering her statements with his name every few words is, at the very least, mildly irritating, but she takes it to some pretty egregious extremes at times (her supports with Byleth come to mind). If more about Leonie's past with Jeralt was revealed, with particular emphasis on why she feels so drawn to him, then perhaps she might have more of an impetus for behaving the way she does. 

    I find Caspar's Naruto-esque recklessness to be extremely annoying and borderline meme-y. His tenacity is admirable, but that's really where my fondness for him ends. I don't know how Linhardt puts up with him.

    Favorite GBA character?

    FE6: I find Dieck and his past as an Etrurian pit fighter fascinating. His friendship with Klein is a pretty great example of friendship crossing class boundaries. The fact that Pent and Louise allowed such a correspondence (probably due to Dieck saving Klein's life) exemplifies their compassion as well.

    FE7: Maybe it's the scholar in me, but I find Canas intriguing.

    FE8: Marisa, because shy sword waifu.

    Speaking of, I never really found Moulder's high Con to mean much when outside of the long range magic, tomes of C rank and higher just aren't worth using - Elfire and Divine are both rather overpriced and not as strong as I'd expect for the price tag.

    I mean, I guess Moulder's got physical resilience going for him, but I definitely agree with you there. Plus his Con makes it difficult for anyone not mounted to rescue him.
