What’s your beef with Byleth’s design, I think they’re both great.

That’s your opinion that is definitely not the same as mine.

I’m gonna critique the game as less than a whole since I haven’t finished finished it yet but one path. I did give the game some predictions and critiques before it came out. It’s a game something meant to be bought and critique so I don’t wanna hear any bs about “just play the game and enjoy it” Shit because that’s how games get better people whining. So any of you people who get mad at this game getting critique, go do something else.

Fire emblem 3 houses is a game that costs like 60$ I think? I got it as a gift because someone was like “congratulations I know you like that fire emblem weeb shit!” And since I’m back at school I have a switch I can use again. Anyway it’s a 60$ game with cats that you can’t pet.

I had some expectations. One being both avatars weren’t ass ugly. Like they’re ugly ugly they’re just got I hate that I’m one of them. I said both you heard me. So there isn’t “just be the boy character!” What if I wanted to marry some dude character who couldn’t marry dude byleth? You want me to be ugly?! I mean I’m ugly other way.

I’ll start dragging dude byleth. His outfit is okay, complex but Fire emblem is known for complete character designs. (Very detailed) I kinda hate his face and hair. He has emo bangs and mullet hair. And I get that the byleths are stone cold so it makes sense, but I wish he had eyebrows. He doesn’t look like an avatar character. His look kinda looks mix match. The mullet and emo bangs are just a huge turn off. He’s just not appealing. I guess he’s just basic ugly.

As my bf put it “the slutty Halloween costume of male byleth” not slut shaming a fictional character but this outfit definitely has that vibe. You’re a damn teacher in this game and she’s wearing those tights, crop top, short shorts, and who wants to bet that armor is just a kinda like a tube top? I don’t know the function of that collar either. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable for her to wear long sleeves so the armor doesn’t bother her skin? She’s breaking dress code. Don’t get me started on Manuela I like her charcter but damn. No wonder why t was so easy to kill her in the beginning of the game, she has near to none good armor on her vital spots. Here stab my stomach window if you wanna kill me! No? Try to my collar bone area. I can’t believe that got passed for being the female avatar. My roommate made the joke it she was dressed as a role play teacher for the bed room.

Is Byleth suppose to be like “hey kids fight the dress code, break it. I’ll be your example!”

I did use to hate her hair as well, but it grew on me when I learned it was just her an Jeralt so he didn’t have the skills or means to teach Byleth to cut hair right (he’s got a damn braid) and that’s why her hair is all choppy, she’s been using a damn knife all these years. Her hair I can manage looking at but Male Byleth should just start over with the hair.

Yes I’ll agree the whole no pants in Nohr and other character designs also sucked from fire emblem, I just had hope it would be better. I don’t know the exact number of avatars in the series but Robin desgin was the best and I hate pigtails but at least you can change that. The Robins both rocked as avatars, they had personality, choices, customizable looks (yeah it’s not needed just nice) and had big jackets and decent outfits. Fates custom options also kinda sucked I couldn’t make a male Corrine I could stand looking at and female Corrin had more leeway but felt weird with her armor.

I get why Byleth wasn’t the same as those two for customizing but damn did they have to pick those designs? I explained why I didn’t like them and sure I didn’t use big words and it was all based on my opinion but it doesn’t take long to look at that and think wow how is that functional for a woman of that game?

I did like their merge with sothsis less. The bright green made them worse.

Spoiler parts critque

Why do all the blue lions have back story and lore? Sylvain s brother, Ash’s adoptive dad, and Annette’s father are all major plot points. Yeah Merecede’s brother is also important but he’s not revealed in every story on who he is only hinted.

The blue lions trio plus Dimitri also draws me into the lions a lot because they all know each before this school which makes them cool. Mercedes and Annette being friends also makes their route more enjoyable.

The black eagles most of the characters know of each other because of their parents but I thought they’d be more friendly with one another (didn’t really all the supports yet but I though Bernie and Edlegard would be closer since they should be involed with the empire’s politics)

I can’t say much for golden deer just cause I haven’t played it yet but I’m pretty sure Ignatz Raphael and Lorenz have something going on???

I did find Dimitri ugly when the game first was announced and I wa alike damn only gotta focus on two houses and then the five year designs came out and I was like fuck you. Dimitri got hot but Edlegard had an okay desgin. Claude look exactly what I liked. I thought since they’re called the black eagles, Edlegard would wear more black but she’s as bright as a stop light. Her twin buns weren’t my favorite but whatever I still love her.

The crimson flower route (edlegard’s route) was enjoyable. I didn’t know the game kinda ends chapter 17/18 so it was kinda fast but for that route they do set Rhea up to the the villain really well. Edlegard is always ready to talk shit about her and its kinda nice because dead dad also didn’t like Rhea and we couldn’t tell why. I just didn’t like how I didn’t really deal with those who slither in the dark that much. If they wanted to make that a couple chapters longer I wouldn’t oppose that being added, but Rhea was the main villain for that route. rip dad. Yeah we avenged him but I wanted the entire group gone.

I don’t hate Rhea, she’s just a very likeable villain and the woman who plays her has the some range! Here I thought even with Rhea’s past, she was going to be this sweet lady who could see no wrong with Byleth and now she wants to rip me limb to limb. And every time Rhea felt like that and voiced that it shocked me every time which was great.

Haven’t finished other 3 routes won’t say anything there.

Game play/experience

I like how much you can grind without any set backs. Wish you could deal with supports when ever tho but I guess that would be too easy

Graphics are good for me

Wish I could let the animals

Surprised to not see Cain and Abel characters or characters who turn into animals or dragons (playable ones) but tbh didn’t miss it.

Other character designs I thought weren’t my favorite was probably Manuela (love her character) just cause she’s also a teacher. Hilda didn’t stand out to me, but it was nice knowing she wasn’t a copy of Severa which I thought she was. The pre five years the after isn’t my favorite eithe but whatever. The pig tail look and how there was nothing else standing out for her made her desgin boring but she makes up for in personality. Pink hair and eyes what is she the leader of a magical girl show? Dude wise no one really stood out as awful. Ignatz was just not the best looking but I think that’s just his quirk.he goes from bowl cut to mullet. Lorenz look awful before the five years and gets a little better.

Designs I liked for the girls were probably Rhea, (clever with the ears) I liked her complex look really holy like and had surprises. Mercedes was cute, and i liked Ingrid all the way long hair or short. Dorthea having a hat like that was a nice change. I liked how Marianne went from look stressed all the time to some what better. Lythesisa’s veil was cool. For dudes I like Ash’s pre five years more that his after just cause I like his shaggy hair over his little bit longer. After five year Dimitri looks good, Claude always looked good.

So there I gave the game some compliments but they won’t get one from me on their avatar designs.
