#even if in this specific setting crusts is dragon blood aka dragons

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't FE15 state that although god's control is removed, there's still evil in mankind's heart that must be vanquished or something along those lines? It kinda makes the whole "humanity f*ck yeah" shtick feel hypocritical doesn't it?

Yep,

Because FE15 couldn't nuke FE2 from its DNA, by virtue of being a remake.

So we have two, contradictory messages in this game : Duma BaD and Gods BaD and must go because BaD and they "make humans do BaD things"...

and you have the "gods might be bad, but humans are still BaD without their influence" message at the end - when the entire game (and the timeline and supplementary materials!!) has been pushing the first message.

So...

In a sea of "Gods BaD" waters coming from the remake, you still have the lone "evil remains in the hearts of men" raft that is, somehow, pushed to the forefront in Part 6 where both Celica AND Alm call Thabes the result of human folly, and the player knowing that Grima - who was originally the RED CAPSLOCK eldritch monstruosity before FEH retcon'd them in a tits'n'ass character to uwu about by stealing Anankos' backstory - was "man-made".

And yet, given how the "last word" about FE15 - as in last material revealed - was the timeline in the Memorial Book, we close FE15's book by "and Duma was BaD".

I mean, look at all those mentions of Rudy being so brave and strong and uwusome -> Duma's degenaration is directly tied to how awesome Rudy needs to be in this calendar.

Rudy is so brave to stand in front of a degenerating Duma? -> Duma was insane!

Rudy is so thoughtful and sticks to his promise to Duma by sealing Mila -> akshually Duma wasn't completely insane because he told him to seal Mila and not to kill her even if I said the inverse 3 lines earlier...

#replies #anon #I might make posts like this #but I really liked FE15 bar its plot! #which is a weird thing to say #I guess Rudy was retconned both because Gods BaD and because Walmart from FE13 exists and can be fucked? #or it was the start of 'imperialism maybe not bad if you have a reason uwu' #and this reason would be gods bad religion bad if kusakihara wanted to write and direct his game closer to the Squenix side of JRPGS #and we end up with supreme leader who wants to get rid of crusts that's why she invades the continent #even if in this specific setting crusts is dragon blood aka dragons #with a good dose of church bad bad bad hammered #at this point the 'evil still exists in the heart of men' disappeared from the script and the player only sees it in sidequests #or things not relevant to the main plot #which culminate in Dee and Caellach's discussion in Zahrofl #'maybe killing those people who helped and supported us bad because they might be angry at u fwend' #and no “they helped us when we needed it unlike you why do you want to kill them they're my allies”
