      Honestly i would have added some flair to gatekeeper.
      He already has a great personality, so i would add some adornment to the armor and give him a shoulder cape with the coat of arms of Garreg Mach, or a full fur cape for those winter nights.
      I mean i am not complaining they kept him to his loveable basic basicness look.......but come on, give the man some bling, he deserves it

    The moment I met that NPC the first two times, I knew I was going to enjoy all of his dialogue in the game.
    Even the developers must have realized that they struck gold by having a nod to it with Three Houses' DLC that had another version of the Gatekeeper... the Abysskeeper.

    In Three Houses, yes Gatekeeper is unplayable however Gatekeeper is actually a hidden playable character within Three Hopes (which is a game that is considered as an alternative canon storyline) by doing a simple task: Complete a new game with any house, then new game plus that save with a different house, then new game plus again on that save with the last house. He is then unlocked after a couple of chapters. It's fanservice that right in my eyes.

    Oh boy! A new Karma video after so long!
    You know if I were to describe Gatekeeper in my eyes, I'd say he's like the Fire Emblem equivalent of the Ichiraku Ramen owner from Naruto. He's not plot important or even part of the supporting cast, he's just a guy making a living and does his job while treating our MC with kindness and respect while giving life observations and cool banter.
    Gatekeeper ain't one of my *absolute* favorite characters in FE (I do like the guy though), I see why a lot of people do have him as one of their favorites.
    Still kinda believe his surge in votes in CYL were basically a merge between 70% people who genuinely like him/want him to win & 30% the memes.
    My only small gripe with his Heroes implementation was the fact that they didn't give this guy an actual name. If the dude's this popular beating Marth, Chrom, and Eirika in votes, I'd assume they would give him an official one.
    So will the Abysskeeper win next CYL though?

    It’s surprising how much life Gatekeeper brought to it. Sort of reminds you how flat or unfleshed out the world can be on its own, despite how much lore there is and how lively the characters are. That’s partly because gatekeeper considers Byleth as a person, not a vessel nor an idol.

    i think the line he said in the crimson flower route about the older twin heavily implies that he's a different gatekeeper that's there to replace the gatekeeper we previously knew... which is pretty awkward when you love the gatekeeper, even though they're functionally the same as NPCs, which one do you love?
