It's more the paralogues that suffer from this, tbh. 3 hours ago, Sooks1016 said: Spoiler I wouldn’t say Jeralt’s death is the sort of plot twist that needs setup, I don’t even think it really constitutes as a plot twist. He is a human who can die so him dying doesn’t really need setup. As far as Monica being a villain, I think that’s perfectly foreshadowed, she’s this random girl who isn’t recruitable that you only see a handful times, one of which she is having a secret meeting with Edelgard where they’re planning a meeting that Edelgard doesn’t want you to hear. Plus she disappeared and randomly shows up again, implying she had been in a secret passage in the building for an entire year and no one found her. Sus. Spoiler I still feel like it was too out-of-the-blue. Surprises can be good, (FROM A PLOT PERSPECTIVE AMBUSH SPAWNS AREN'T GOOD) but there has to be something there. I agree that the Monica bit was set up well, but I feel like there should have been a bit of a better moment that occured before Jeralt's death rather than just random beats. Like, maybe if Jeralt had an important mission, or was fighting when he is betrayed or something, it would have improved. Temporarily playable Monica would have been kind of neat, actually. 3 hours ago, Sooks1016 said: HARD AGREE. "Son, we are in a FE game, so I'll die soon. Uh, check my room. Toodles~" 3 hours ago, Sooks1016 said: Where do you see this in fe? Not Kagasaga istg- No, we don't see this in mainline FE, sadly. Berwick did an amazing job with this, since you really do see the war from several perspectives-Nobles, commoners, Bandits, the impoverished, the enemy's point of view, peoples whose lands were caught up in the war...I really liked that. FE really needs to take a page from Berwick, in terms of storytelling, at least. It'd help improve FE. Regardless, I don't think comparing FE to FE is necessarily a good way to improve the writing. There are other forms of media that also feature strong writing and storytelling. 3 hours ago, Sooks1016 said: Which is why you should play Blue Lions That’s a big fault with the game, a lot of stuff is just sort of told to you instead of shown and VW and CF feel rushed. Because they spread themselves too thin over four routes, probably. Yeah, I did intentionally pick VW first, since I knew it was the weakest route narrative-wise. Guess that means I have to play AM after this to be fair to TH. 3 hours ago, Sooks1016 said: Spoiler As far as the Flame Emperor, ignoring the setup that’s already there, I’m not certain why that really needs setup when the pieces fall into place afterwards? The setup was fine, the reveal was just lacking. It lacked pizazz, you know? It could have been a really epic and momentous moment, but it really wasn't.

Guess that means I have to play AM after this to be fair to TH. Azure Moon gives you one of the best scenes in the game imo for that reveal. I wish the other routes had gotten cutscenes but oh well. Basically, banned because I agree with most of your points but I don’t think that actually makes the story any worse. I think the story is very good and thrilling, but presented in a less than ideal way. It could have been told much better, that’s how I feel. (1st writing rule is show not tell IS!)
