been kinda wanting to play Three Houses again to try one of the other routes but I can't bear the thought of anything bad happening to edelgard

thinking about how Lysithea is the only character Edelgard can recruit AFTER the timeskip; she's just like "oh you're gonna murder everyone who did this to us? let's go"

anyway I'm still playing Persona 3 and it's making me think about Three Houses a lot bc they have really similar structure and overall design goals, but FE3H handles most of them a lot more elegantly

which is not to dunk on P3; it's 11 years older obv, but it invites comparison
