I might be visual novel poisoned but I actually liked the CGs more than prerendered cutscreens. A CG can focus on the important emotions of the scene, the relief of Edelgard seeing that her teacher is still alive, the tragedy of one sibling having to kill the other. Really the only scene that I think that needed a prerendered was the ending which got one since it goes though a roller-coaster of emotions that can't be covered by only one CG.

The alt scene at Tailtean with Dimitri and Dedue being just a black background was a travesty. The emotions were so good and the dialogue between them was excellent, but a black background just hammered home how lazy the route felt.

@l.n.3372 I didn't have an issue with it being a black screen. Not everything needs to be shown. Going to use another FE game as an example, FE8. Part of the strength with Monica in FE 8 is that fact that we never see her and only get one line from her which adds to the screen compared to if IS made a sprite for her. If you need context for it play FE 8 since it's a great game in the series that isn't too long and explaining it would be a spoiler.

@sam7559 that isn't remotely comparable. I have played FE8 and I know what you're talking about. And this isn't anywhere near the same thing as the CF Tailtean dialogue between Dimitri and Dedue. Some things lose the emotional impact if they are a black screen, and this is one of them.

It's subjective, but for me CF is the worst because it forces me to kill dear Hilda, Flayn and Catherine (some of these killings can be avoided with high difficulty). It's heartbreaking really, on the other hand the other routes requires killing poor Edelgard, still, rather her than Hilda (for me).

Yeah it’s such a shame Crimson Flower didn’t get the resources it needed, it’s such a fun route but it’s held back by less maps. If they ever make a route split game like 3H again, I hope every route gets to be fleshed out and more unique!

Crimson Flower is my favorite route primarily because of Edelgard and the black eagle house as a whole. Imo the black eagles have the strongest lineup of characters. I also really like the maps, they go for quality over quantity. The Fight for Fhirdiad is by far the best map in the game imo. It's still my favorite despite the fact that it feels really unfinished.

@@abeefypig That's fair. I really like the crimson flower map because I think Apex of the World really works with the burning Fhirdiad. I also think the crimson flower finale feels the most like an epic final challenge. Though I'd say the Golden Deer finale is my second favorite due to the music as well. I do definitely have a natural bias towards the crimson flower because it was my first route.

What also makes this Route the best and worst Route is Dimitri. The whole Argument of the Edelgard-Apologists always has been that Edelgard starts the War and in Return is the only one who gives Power to the People. This has always been untrue, as Dimitri's Ending in FE 3H states "He was known for [...] instituting a new Form of Government in which the People were free to be active Participants." which basicly hints at him instituting a Constitutional Monarchy. Dimitri acts as a Mediator between the Past People are used to and the Future that does them good. Edelgard meanwhile is said to have "ensure[d] a free and independent Society for all", but still ends up chosing a Successor herself, meaning that in both Cases, while the People generally get more Power, Power ultimately goes as the Ruler wants to. Edelgard started a continent-wide War to archieve that, worked with the Murderers of her Siblings, of the Faerghus' People killed at Duscur and the Comitters of a literal Genocide against the Nabateans while Dimitri ends up archieving the same Thing doing neither. You could even make the Argument that Edelgard does it worse because she's forcing the People of the Kingdom and Alliance into that Idea while claiming to want to abandon Rulers deciding for the People while Dimitri, while ultimately having the same Goal, is very open about his View that a higher Authority (meaning he himself) is neccessary for that and conquers Adrestia more by Accident while the Alliance joins the Kingdom willingly due to the Lack of a possible Ruler. Also, a big Problem of Crimson Flower is how turning against the Church is justified. Edelgards whole Arc is "I hate TWSITD because of what they did to me and my Siblings. I hate the Nobles for allowing it. Church = bad" but it is never really explained how that is and how the Church being bad justifies actively allying with TWSITD who directly caused her and her Family harm, killed the King of Faerghus and his Folowers, creating a political Crisis in Faerghus, are to blame for the Genocide of the Duscur People, for what happens at Remire and also Lysithea's Suffering.

I dislike the writing of CF but I liked the idea of it, in theory. I just wish the writing was better handled. The eagles are my second favorite house after the lions. I enjoy most of the eagles students. I think there was wasted potential with them tho, as CF shafted all of them save for Byleth, Edelgard and Hubert. Ferdinand should have had a much larger role in the plot. And the route didn't do enough to show why they stay with Edelgard. Most students say they're just doing it for the professor instead of for Edelgard, which makes the whole route ring false as Edelgard isn't really winning them over if they stayed for Byleth. People give CF too much credit for being unique gameplay, but the only unique map in this route was Tailtean plains. Every other map was used in other routes too, such as Arianrhod in Dimitri's paralogue or Fhirdiad in Dimitri's route. Yes, the map objectives and starting positions vary slightly which is a nice change, but they're not as drastically different as people seemingly claim them to be. 3H as a whole just suffers too much from re used maps.

I like to saw it felt the most original gameplay wise yes 3h reuses a lot but skightky changing starting positions and all make it feel different I think it's a change good enought for the reused maps aside from SS and GD being word for word bar for bar.

@abeefypig re: the units, it's very different for CF vs the other routes. It makes sense that the lions would defend their homeland, the kingdom. Ditto for the deer and their homeland, the alliance. In SS, the eagles are opposing Edelgard and the empire. In AM, they're not fighting FOR Dimitri: they're fighting to defend their homeland. Ditto for VW and the deer. In CF tho, they are invading their former homelands. But CF doesn't justify why students would fight their homelands and invade their homelands. After all, Edelgard didn't convince them at all. They joined because of Byleth only.

@abeefypig unfortunately yes and that's part of why I dislike the writing in CF. In AM, Felix and the lions constantly say that they don't agree with Dimitri's actions, but the eagles are never allowed to challenge Edelgard. They just blindly do whatever she wants with questioning her morality. She never even tells them the truth about shit like the Agarthans destroying Arianrhod, but she falsely blames the church instead. But Dimitri tells his friends the truth about Edelgard being his stepsister, and he even takes their advice by meeting with Edelgard before the final battle. Dimitri respects his friends with trust in a way that Edelgard never did. Edelgard just wanted Byleth and nobody else.
