Changes I’d Make to Fire Emblem Echoes:

• make it so that Celica can use Falchion and defeat Duma herself in the final battle
• change Conrad from acting like Celica’s babysitter to something less patronizing
• change the scene where Conrad slapped Celica because WHAT THE FUCK
• give Leon a boyfriend in his endings
• Make it so that you can recruit both Sonya and Deen in a single playthrough, and give them support conversations
• Give Kamui and Valbar support conversations, because seriously, what the fuck
• Have Genny’s ending mention her novel and how it got really popular, and that she donated most of the money to charity
• Give Luthier some supports where he makes friends, he deserves friends
• Change Zeke’s ‘good’ ending so that instead of holding his musings about his unknown past in so Tatiana won’t worry, he and Tatiana talk about it more and reach catharsis because that’s what couples in a healthy relationship do
• Make Clive and Mathilda co-leaders of the Deliverance, have it so that either Mathilda has to rescue Clive or when you’re reaching Desaix’s fort Mathilda managed to get out by herself and fights Desaix with you
• Don’t declaw Mathilda in her ‘good’ ending. She keeps being a badass knight until she’s an old lady, end of story
• Either get rid of the ‘wearing her down’ element of Gray and Clair’s relationship or keep it platonic. I’m sorry but if a woman dislikes you, you being persistent about bothering her isn’t going to make her fall in love with you, I have never seen nor heard of this happening in real life
• Let Faye be happy in her ending and get over Alm, and give her some supports where she doesn’t talk about Alm. At all. Whatsoever. They could talk about tables for all I care, just please give her a personality and some motivations outside of liking Alm
• Either actually show us why Alm and Celica supposedly make a great couple by letting them interact for more than like seven minutes of screen time in a 50+ hour game or keep their relationship platonic. AT LEAST give them some supports, because this whole ‘leaving it up to your imagination’ thing Intsys tried to pull feels very lazy and uncompelling to me
• change Kamui’s background so that he knew Leon and Valbar before fighting the pirates. I very much got a vibe that they were all old friends during their recruitment scenes, but if you talk to him in Act 4 apparently they weren’t? Weird.
• change Berkut from being an obnoxious manchild to a villain that’s more sympathetic and actually kind of important to the story.
• make the DLC support conversations part of the base game, because again, what the fuck
• make the DLC characters free like they did for the spotpass characters in Awakening
• hell make all the DLC free, or at least make an actual expansion so it’s worth paying for
• add more supports, just in general
