Imagine if Sakurai just gave an open apology for Byleth's inclusion on an official Nintendo stream, and revealed a free apology bonus for everyone who brought FP1 before Byleth's announcement - it could be some returning stages, it could be an echo fighter, anything really. I think if Nintendo and Sakurai simply admitted fault everyone would be happy - except the "hoes mad" guys... but yeah, they deserve to have their schadenfreude bomb blow up in their faces
