I am not currently interested in dating but I am always interested in writing short essays which include proper citations
At the risk of ruining your bit, I have to ask; I've never played FE3H (although I do have it ready to play on emulator), but is Edelgard actually based like you portray her?
Not really, she has aesthetics of radicalism but in reality when she accomplishes her goals she ends up merely somewhat reforming the existing system
Yeah, her whole thing seemed like "kinder, benevolent monarchy", she is fine while defeating the church, but she ends up seeming to create a society that isn't a whole lot different from before, that still has Noble elites and commoners, perhaps they are free from the control of the church, but what freedom do you really have as a poor peasant? There is great disproportionate wealth in the elite families still, and that is hoarded while common people suffer.
Eh, kind of. There are multiple side conversations with characters like Ferdinand where he expresses anxiety about Edelgard’s plans to abolish nobility.
The game isn’t as explicit about her manifesto as it could be and her route is also like 4 chapters shorter than the other ones, which is a bummer.
mmm idk, theres enough ambiguity in what happens at the end that you can fill in the blanks
it is mentioned a couple times that if nobles are useful by merit they would be allowed to continue operations. she also gives up her position after the revolution. i see her as a sort of socialist that wants to do socialism but material conditions arent there yet so they settle for the next best thing
she also abolishes her position and leaves government altogether and just runs around doing renegade solo stuff with whoever shes married with
Edelgard struck me as kind of a bourgeois revolutionary, like Napoleon or something
It’s a mix, but I’d say yes. She is about as close as you’re going to get to an outright communist revolutionary in a nintendo game.
The crest system she wants to abolish is a pretty clear stand-in for the class system and inherited wealth. Her whole revolution is about creating a meritocracy and dismantling nobility. Has some lib brain worms, but the ideology is against reformism and she clearly wants to dismantle and abolish the current system.
The game is also realistic about the types of alliances you have to make to get things done and wield power. She makes a really dicey alliance out of necessity that goes horribly wrong if your character isn’t there to back her up.
She’s also a lesbian, which rocks.
She's also really cute but yeah she is about as close as one would be able to get in a triPPPleleee AAAaaaAaaa video game

Women can do whatever the fuck they want, but men get canceled for giving girls compliments.
