Fire Emblem's Intriguing Case of Crimson Flower Dimitri
In Fire Emblem Three Houses, Dimitri was almost an entirely different person in Edelgard's Crimson Flower route, sparking enough intrigue for me to briefly discuss the differences between him and the Savage Boar variant of the Azure Moon, Verdant Wind, and Silver Snow routes. Thanks for listening, and do consider liking the video if you enjoy this type of content. It'll support this channel, and I'd greatly appreciate that!

    I like to think that either Byleth just stopped using it after failing to save Jeralt, and/or they keep using it but much more cautiously--like how most stories where characters repeatedly time travel have at least one of them trying less to save individual people as time goes on (for them) because they've become numb to it. There's also the fact that it's not infinitely usable; it's a lame excuse but I chalk the moments where Byleth curiously didn't use it up to being out of Pulses. In the specific case of falling into the chasm at the end of White Clouds, it's possible that the "after death" rewinds occur automatically upon their death, the situation was not fatal so it didn't kick in, and they were too thrown off to have a chance to use it, if they weren't actually out of uses.

    My very first thought when I saw Dimitri and heard him speak was "Oh, that's Captain America". Then I carried on playing, going the Black Eagles route (Crimson Flower) because Edelgard, Dorothea, Linhardt and revolution. That time when you fight Dimitri in the story I was like "Okay, yeah, I'm just fighting Steve, wish it didn't have to come to this". Then I started a Blue Lions playthrough, got to the timeskip and audibly went "Oh. Oh no."

  • @l.n.3372
    @l.n.3372 3 месяца назад

    adding a late comment but I wanted to share my thoughts. to me, Dimitri and AM worked in a way that the other 3H lords and routes do not b/c AM forces the player to think in ways that the other paths did not. Blue Lions gives you a lovable hero/lord in part 1 and then breaks him and makes him a shell of his former self in part 2. and the player has to reconcile the Dimitri they loved in part 1 with who he has become now in part 2. simultaneously, the rest of the cast has to reconcile with Dimitri in the same way, giving the player a unique way to understand the characters in how we all react to the "post time skip" Dimitri. AM is not afraid to make the player say "WTF Dimitri, that was kinda rude/harsh/vicious/uncalled for." AM had the balls to make the player actually dislike Dimitri for some of his more questionable actions. and then, AM also has the balls to help Dimitri regain his sense of self again, complete with an arc where Dimitri acknowledges that his trauma is real and will never fully go away, yet he can learn to live with it and become a better friend and leader to all. compare with CF, which has Edelgard willingly ally with the main villains yet the route never truly forces the player to reconcile with Edelgard's heinous actions b/c she needs to stay as a likable waifu so fans will ship themselves with her. AM was never afraid to make Dimitri unlikable and yet he remained just as popular, likable, and husbando to many fans anyway b/c he was not treated with kid gloves like Edelgard was. compare with VW, where Claude claims that he's a cunning trickster schemer, yet Claude himself turns out to be the "purest" lord of the 3 b/c of his naive, idealistic, "I want a world without borders and divisions" mindset. Yuri in the DLC turns out to be the true cunning trickster schemer like we had all expected Claude to become. compare with SS, which had such interesting potential where your lord betrays you, yet they completely mishandled the route with a rather poor execution of ideas. this route could have been great if they had made Rhea playable as the replacement lord and focused the route on her arc instead, with Nemesis as the final boss to finish Rhea's arc.

    7:26 I think crazy Rhea in CF makes a lot of sense just like how insane Dimitri works in AM. She just didn’t get as much screen time, of course. Her trauma has been festering for over 1000 years and she never fully dealt with it. When she thought she finally had her mother back, she was betrayed. Her completely losing her family, including Seteth/Flayn dying/leaving, makes her actions very much believable in CF. Also some of the best parts of the game for me are Cherami Leigh absolutely going off as Rhea

    • @CainMagnus
      @CainMagnus 5 месяцев назад

      The problem isn't with Rhea herself or her craziness, but rather, the flawed execution and skewed narrative Crimson Flower pushed against her (mainly because of how incomplete it is). A lot of Edelgard's points against her and the church were half truths and falsehoods passed down through her ancestry (something CF didn't bother to challenge when revelations in Verdant Wind had hard counters for them). While misinformation is fine for the sake of the story's conflict, it causes those (the players) who don't feel like playing any other route to not feel entirely enticed to seek out other routes for the full picture. It's why Rhea gets a lot of unjust hatred in the community (even ignoring the general discourse, as even people who didn't like Edelgard viewed Rhea as objectively evil), as CF didn't do a good enough job to hint at any nuance in Rhea's insanity. Thus, leaving a lot of players to misunderstand why she went nuts because of the skewed narrative. When the game's major theme promotes the idea how much of a gray zone Fodlan is, CF, despite being the one route that best showed the morally gray landscape, did the church completely dirty. Dimitri, despite being a lunatic himself, hadn't been painted as a blatant villain like Rhea was. Even with CF's inaccurate portrayal of him, the subtext in his writing still made it clear enough that his fall from grace wasn't rooted in any malicious intent, and that the kingdom itself wasn't an evil domain - something Rhea and the church didn't have the benefit of. It's why those who started with CF gave AM a chance; because the dialogue never tried to push that Dimitri and the kingdom were inherently evil, and it made them curious to what was going on with them. It's also why despite knowing the truth behind what actually happened to the Nabateans in VW, many to this day still disregard the truth because of how CF didn't provide enough scenes that challenged the information Edelgard fed Byleth about the church. Which, the bias of Edelgard's route carries over and not allow them to understand where Rhea comes from. So, when Rhea goes crazy, there's nothing in CF to at least suggest that her madness stemmed from somewhere else. With how the Agarthans are the true villains, CF's narrative puts Rhea in an unfair position to be treated as an evil akin to them, when the point of 3H's war was to show that every faction had their reasons for doing what they did. TL; DR That's why I phrased myself as "they depicted her a million times worse than she actually was." Not as a way to say crazy Rhea didn't make sense (because she IS crazy with some skeletons in her closet), but that CF heavily pushed the narrative in Edelgard's favor in order to give the player someone to strictly root against as the "true evil of Fodlan." It really just came off as us beating up an old crazy grandma with untreated trauma, which does a huge disservice to her arc.

  • @scitails
    @scitails 5 месяцев назад

    I remain convinced CF should've been DLC. It would've given them more time to work on it and feel less rushed. It also would make sense as it is the most different and the only "hidden" route. The base game also does a terrible job of making Edelgard vs the church a real morally gray debate. Cindered Shadows tries to make up for this by adding a bunch more shady stuff about the church in the supplementary lore to make it seem worse, but it feels so forced at that point. If they had just let Edelgard be the antagonist in the base game, they wouldn't have had to write in half-hearted attempts to make her seem like a protagonist or make the church "bad" in White Clouds, which honestly are much less enjoyable than the stellar bittersweet cutscenes after the time skip and in the throne room on SS. The base game already had to juggle three routes and the contrasts between three nations. Adding another contrast between Edelgard and Rhea was just too much for them to handle well. Especially since Rhea isn't even playable on SS. Luckily, Three Hopes does Edelgard a lot better, and Scarlet Blaze is easily the best route in that game, compared to CF being IMO the worst in Three Houses.

    Dimitri's portrayal in CF showcases the weak writing of the route. That line where Hubert implies that Dimitri doesn't fight 'fair' anymore is mostly used to balance our questionable actions as an invading army in CF. Unlike AM which portrays Edelgard at her best (we can see a nuance perspective of her arguments and reasoning for the war, we also get to see a more humane side of her through Dimitri's recollections) CF portrays a Dimitri destitute of everything that makes him a compelling character, he becomes a 'plot device' whose only purpose is to aid the flimsy narrative. Having said that, CF gave us some of the best Dimitri/Dedue interactions, so I guess I cannot be too offended.
