Properly started my Crimson Flower run

[artabria]

 Evidently, I'm still not finished with the route, but going by what I've seen so far and what I know about what happens in this route, I can't help but see Edelgard's ideas as naive? I think the main difference between Edelgard and Dimitri is that while both of their actions are deeply affected by their respective traumas, Dimitri has people telling him no.

And the game still hasn't given me a proper reason as to why Byleth would join her? Or why the rest of the Black Eagles join her? Like, the reaction before the battle is everyone feeling betrayed because Edelgard has used them and now they're just "yeah, sure, we're going with you".

Also, Petra is talking about how she hopes that her granfather supports the Empire, but I was under the impression that she was basically a hostage to make sure that her granfather obeyed them? xD

I didn't recruit anyone, and I swear that no one from the Black Eagles is there because they're friends with Edelgard.

I'm playing Golden Deer after this one, I think. I want Silver Snow to be my last route (and try to recruit as many people as possible).

PS: I'm a bit annoyed that the Professor Level doesn't get to S+ like the skill levels. Give me more points to do battles, game.

I completely agree, the whole time I did that route I had to keep trying to convince myself that anyone actually wanted to be there. They just snapped back way too easily.
