LittEleven Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 quick thought i had earlier today in the shower? given when it was made and the similarities; i think some part of fe3h was inspired by the political climate in the usa i.e dimitri is trump, edelgard is hillary, claude is bernie it feels pretty intuitive to me tbh in the context of their routes, but I'm having a hard time slotting byleth to someone as famous, but think it would be a fun topic to discuss!

There's literally a BE route paralogue about Edelgard stopping brown people at the border.If Trump himself had a waifu, he'd pick Edelgard. Out of anyone in any Japanese video game or anime.And they are both a hit with alt-righters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinumi Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 you’re honestly delusional if you don’t think hillary looks like dimitri. plus their names rhyme, it feels like a pretty overt reference to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember something like this happening in one of the Marvel movies I think, so it's not too farfetched for it to happen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, I can get "Takumi is Trump" as a joke", but I'm highly doubtful that the devs at IS considered American political figures in designing their Lords. I don't know how much more I can say without moving this into the realm of "serious discussion". But I really don't think the connections are there.

Etrurian emperor Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I kinda doubt it. At best one could claim Claude is an ''open border liberal'' To the extend that anyone is influenced by a political leader its Edelgard, and that's by Napoleon or Frederick II.

Nah fam, if anyone is Trump in this analogy its clearly Edelgard. Both are populist strongmen or attempting to be. Rhea is Hillary for being the one who Edelgard is directly opposed to while also being a symbol of the status quo and attempts to preserve it at nearly all costs.

I don't think Edelgard's much of a populist actually. She's not particularly slimy nor does she seem deceitful as far as her ideology goes. I also don't see her as much of a strongman since her main goal is empowering the citizenry rather than hoard all the power for herself and a small collection of cronies.
