the thing is like yes i think it is so interesting to pull an invert to the story of crimea in por in daein in rd with regard to "oh! the last king was just kill and our country has been invaded! but this older teenager claims to be the child of that king and has rosen the ranks behind them to reclaim our kingdom and stop the occupation yay!" with elincia being the legitimate heir to crimea but pelleas obvi being not that is well executed. like thats the point pelleas is elincia micaiah is ike daein in crimea and begnion is daein in radiant dawn yes that much is obvious. and i really respect the handling of that story in a "what if elincia wasnt actually the heir but she still had managed to rouse the people behind her what then" and we see that in pelleas but also like. there was this constantly brought up factor in por w elincia where someone would say "oh what if she isnt actually the heir to the king. she has nothing to prove it" its brought up by many people allies and enemies but both in story and as a player its disproved with "oh then why are daein leaders going after her to kill her and calling her princess crimea" and thats that its not a conflict. but we know that thoughout por ike is shown again and again these ideas of abuse of power by those in power as well as a few different form of government (that ultimately are all still monarchies in some sense) and he does broach this idea about like "hey these rulers in power are usually corrupt and abuse that power to hurt the poor and oppressed" and maurim is sitting next to him saying yes but also those are strange words from the guy escorting the princess of crimea and then ike runs with a "well shes nice and seems genuin abt helping her peopel plus i forget shes actually a princess sometimes" and then we just move on like. no ike go back maurim made some very excellent points there. but beyond that we dont get anything ike kills ashnard daein is left without a king or any heirs and the military leadership of the country is destroyed crimea is restored begnion moves to occupy daein and that leads us to rd. then radiant dawn same scenario except this is a country whos been occupied for the last three years with the mility killing people in the streets and adults being put in labor camps. and now this 19 year old is being called a bastard son of the now dead king and has his mother (who the king never married or acknoledged publicly and is also in no state to rule) to testify it. and then we get similar conflic on the daein side we get to the end they kill god or whatever and now what. pelleas stepped down as prince abdicated the throne but then everything is the same because micaiah is just made queen then its still a monarchy its still the same system of government that ultimately led to the wars that have plagued the continent over recent years nothings going to change lol. and the background built up conflic that felt like it was barreling towards daein being reorganized as some sort of republic just gets tossed aside i guess lmao. why couldnt hatari (which imo has no reason to exist except to make an excuse to throw in the hot exotic ambigously brown characters /s) have been a republic and been like "hey look outside of telliius there are these countries existing with different form of government that allows for the representation of the people and less people are oppressed and poor etc" but no they do nothing. what are the only governmental changes just the bird kingdoms combining again and begnion ending the theocracy and maybe removing the senate as a concept idr but theyre still an empire. this was more organized in my head apoligies for long paragraph i just am always dissapointed w daeins story as a country. but also the fantasy white supremacist nation will be a fantasy white supremacist nation lol
