I think it makes sense for Conquest. Since there's where the incest issue really is (I think?). The linear campaign means you probably won't reach S rank till you've already heard the secret.
What?
Conquest is Nohr, as in the people who aren't your blood family. The linear one.
Birthright is Hosidho, your blood family. The overworld one.
Edit: Thank you based @Shnarfl
Kinda misleading to have "literally Owain/Inigo/Severa/Tharja" because they are actually those characters from Awakening <or the reincarnation of one> only to hyperbolically put "literally Gaius/Cordelia" just because blah blah character design reuse
=v
...How is Shara supposed to be a reincarnation of Tharja, anyway? Even taking away the fact that THIS ISN'T AWAKENING'S WORLD, the 3 carryovers don't really look different enough to be that much older than they were in Awakening, plus Tharja dying not being a set-in-stone event means she wouldn't really HAD to of died before Fates' story in the first place
If anything, I feel like it's meant to be more like Shara having visions of Tharja because magic and AU-sensing powers rather than straight up reincarnation
While it's easy to argue that there's a lot of good in the game (which is true, there is), there's just too much bad to acknowledge it.Honestly, if it wasn't for a handful of other problems with the game, I'd be applauding some of the decisions made here. It's at least pretty progressive by Japanese standards.
But like, the amount of incestuous overtones present in the games, plus the really restrictive gay marriage options, plus the lazy recycling of previous character designs really turns me off of the game.
And honestly, even the character designs that aren't recycled aren't that memorable, the only ones I can think of that are, are Rinka, Foleo, Arthur, and Dragée.
considering she's part of the storyline where you can grind in because of open world, it might not be an issue.
Yeah, but you gotta admit it's a bit of a jerk move to have one of the only two available same sex people be behind a wall in the game they're in.
