Golden Deer didn't give me a choice to not off her anyhow, I killed her with Byleth so I think it just ain't in the cards. And something tells me Dimitri ain't gonna give a choice either. Might be his incel bloodlust idk. Also I couldn't spare Dimitri in GD either, and he also fell by Byleth's hands. So in conclusion, Claude is the ultimate survivor. Another reason to include him in Smash.
Hold up
Dimitri doesn't get killed by Byleth or the Alliance, he retreats if defeated and chases after Edelgard's army only to get killed offscreen as he got outnumbered and eventually outmatched

>Dimitri ever reaching husband status before Claude

Maybe in another lifetime.

The Blue Lions route is the "okay but what the **** was Dimitri up to" route since it seems neither BE or GD tells us much about him.

Claude doesn't do much in any route that isn't GD but ok.

Really the only one who is always important is Edel, and that's because she is the main bad guy of all routes who aren't her own.

Also, Dimitri is really popular with the ladies, if many poll online are any indication, and I got to agree with them, Dimitri is best husbando, sorry man.

You can still see Claude's charming and rightious nature regardless of the route you actually choose though. Dimitri NEEDS his own route to get a grasp on him

Looking up Joy-Cons on Amazon, seems like the only pink one comes bundled with an ugly green one. I love the pink one, but couldn't care less for the other, which sucks.

Aight I can't argue with that Dedue.

That said they must be falling for post timeskip Dimitri. Which is fair I guess, the ****ty spaghetti hair is gone then. Eye patches are neat too.

I have a feeling
The game might force me to kill Dimirti too. I dont care about killing edalgard but I kinda want Dimitri to ah ah ah ah stay alive, stay alive
Damn, I figured you'd be a bit more receptive to Edelgard given how much you said you disliked Rhea. :V

do give Crimson Flower a shot though since it's good storywise. Plus you get to fight Rhea and spare Claude. And Hubert's in it, and I think you'd like him.

Somewhat. There is definitely alot more Post-time, but Pre-timeskip Dimitri is also decently popular.

Edel look like a bad ruler if you don't choose her route with that logic, you got to see every angle to judge a character well.

that, and the fact

Claude always end up running away (or die if you choose in BE), even in BL where Dimitri & him are pretty much on the same side is pretty frustrating to me, like come on man, I know the world is nice and war ain't fun, but come on! Give me your wywern at least.

Eye patches are neat indeed, but I don't think he be popular for that alone.

Dimitri is a pretty cool guy pre-timeskipe and he has a great character arc....in his own route at least, otherwise, yeah, he stay a beast fixed on vengeance, but that's the nature of 3H, some characters can change alot depending what side you choose from.

Also, Dedue is just freakin' great, unit and character wise, even if he can't help himself to remind that is from freakin' Duscur.

I mean, I dont like Rhea but I dont dislike her enough to start a whole devastating deadly war over her. Yeah, I mean to get the final ending, I gotta play that but Imma do it last. After GD, Im doing BL

You say this but Edelgard still shows sympathetic qualities in Verdant Wind, especially with Lysithea's unique VS dialogue. It's also not inconsistent with her own route unlike Blue Lions
Not sure what you mean. I think everybody's arguing you gotta play the respective route if you want to understand where the lord is coming from.

I'm not even going to ask about consistency outside of routes because everything is in different timelines and sequences of events. That's gonna change things no matter what.

Anyone remember the pre-Brawl days when photoshops of Wario were all the rage? Sure makes me feel nostalgic:

Actually Church route has Seteth mention that Edelgard's clearly doing something right as her soldiers aren't motivated by fear or anything meaning she treats them right. I'm willing to try and give Dimitri a chance, but 2/3 stories haven't convinced me, and to prevent burnout I'm playing other games for a while

Ahem...
Can’t find the image but it is a mashup of every Smash 4 character with Wario as the face.

My point is that Dimitri has the least amount of appeal on other routes when compared to Edelgard and Claude as they both tease that things are deeper.

Not really, part 1 is written consistently for Edelgard and Claude, but Part 1 Edelgard's written differently to be more evil in Part 1 if you picked Dimitri. If it just was post skip I'd agree though.

Hmm, ok then, but
Sacrifing Bernie to burn to death in the rematch for all 3 routes
Is a sin I won't ever forgive, even if I know there is a easy way to avoid that.

Also, that one line Edel throw at Dimitri at the end of BE is dumb, like super mega dumb, like "wow, Edel, you sure thought alot about that comeback" dumb.

Rhea is written to be more evil in BE than any other routes and nobody complain about that, Rhea is shady yes, but still, let's not go it's only a BL problem.

Guess I gotta play more to understand where this is coming from. Naturally, I didn't find any appeal in Edelgard in BL (okay there's one or two scenes that shows she's not completely evil and a large part of BL is that it's perspective biased toward Dimitri), but I know she's supposed to be the villain there, and therefore unlikable. Makes me wonder how she plays as the good guy.

Ill be honest. Personly the only good characters in the BE class for me is Hubert and Linhardt
My three favorites in the game didn't make your list I'm wounded. But yeah Hubert's pretty great but to explain why would be getting into spoiler territory.

If I play BE, I won't do it for Edel, no, I will do it for my man, Ferdinand "I Am Ferdinand von Aegir. " von Aegir.

God bless this idiot of a noble and his japanese VA, who somehow manage to make his catchphrase even better.

Oh and, Bernie is pretty nice too.

That isn't even something that's explicitly canon on any route against her.

Apparantly Edelgard saying "nou" to Dimitri then is a localization thing, which is a shame yes.

I mean, Rhea isn't written to be more evil just because unlike Edelgard.
Rhea loses her **** as her goal, bringing Sothis back, becomes unachievable by Byleth's decision to side with Edelgard, with her slowly but surely constantly descending to madness to the point Seteth fears Rhea. That's especially understandable with GD context but even without it, I had the impression that she probably had a reason to lose her **** to the point she even tried to burn down an entire city, taking countless potential lives of people trying to protect her. Suddenly Edelgard potentially killing Bernie/A generic soldier doesn't seem so bad

She didn't "try" to burn down Fhirdiad. She succeeded.

Compare the maps for Fhirdiad between routes and it's actually horrifying.

To be fair

A major reason she goes crazy is that she's reminded of Nemesis killing her mother and stealing her remains for his weapons and abilities. It's very apparent in the final battle as when you fight her with Byleth she constantly yells 'give her back!' repeatedly. So it's very personal for her and explains why she's at her worst since she feels you're stealing her mother away again.
