Dragon ninja!

Sounds like something out of a Megaman game.


I mean... technically? But the focus isn't on them, they're just another inconvenience on your way to stopping Nemesis.

Nemesis is basically a Slitherer tool, which is why I said I'd consider it a fight against the Slitherers, even by proxy.

Besides, lurking on the sidelines is what Slitherers do best. They don't have a stellar track record when they actually take to the front lines.

Plus according to Rhea, they revived Nemesis/broke the seal, so this is still an Agarthan plot.

Look I'm just saying I think we missed out on Thales riding a Titanus mech

Cue video of Thales riding the Titanus through a city, encountering a set of stairs, then sitting there for twenty hours. tongue

I've never bought the idea that VW and SS should have switched bosses. VW is the only route where the goal is to discover the truth of Fodlan's history.

I mean yeah but there's so little buildup for the Nemesis revival. Might as well have had us face an Epimenides controlled Shez with how out of nowhere it was.

It's not like SS had more buildup for it.

I think Azure Moon and Crimson Flower had fine final foes. Edelgard and Rhea were the natural conclusions for their stories.

Honestly, he just needs more foreshadowing in VW.

During the raid on Shambhala we could have at least had the Battalions used by the Agarthans been zombies or something.

That would probably require more animations. They ain't doing that!

Really the Agarthans aren't visually distinct from everyone else which is funny.

A big problem really with Three Houses is the fact that everyone's using the same equipment. Yeah it makes sense for arms and armor to be unified to a certain degree, but it would also make sense for Adrestia, Faerghus and Leicester to have different uniforms and armor styles. And the latter looks a lot cooler and is more distinctive. It would be a "No duh" moment for like any other set of companies but both Koei Tecmo and Intsys haven't really done that very much. The big exception for Intsys was fates, who had two completely different sets of character classes for the Fantasy-Europe vs Fantasy-Japan conflict. [lol]

Honestly I'm more confused why the Agarthans even use medieval weapons to begin with. Like Kronya using a knife on Jeralt does make sense, but you'd think when we have to fight her she'd be rocking a gun or something considering the tech we know they have.

The implication is an aversion of Ragnarök-Proofing, their arsenal has degraded horribly over the years and they're incapable of replicating it in their current situation. Which is why they're dangerous but still in a precarious situation.

Kronya sticking to knives makes sense too, in a Rock Beats Laser kind of way. She's probably some super-soldier created to make do with what they have and is so good (And so unhinged) at it they don't bother letting her drive the mechs.

You are not alone.

Honestly I feel like Hopes takes place in a universe where the Agarthans were in a better place after "fighting" Sothis cuz they're pulling out plays we could never seen in Houses.
