to war again

[mikogalatea]

I've reached the war phase in my Azure Moon run in Three Houses and have just cleared Chapter 13. \o/ But with that, I have a minirant.

Does anyone else feel a bit frustrated by how Dedue's death(?) gets treated kind of like a footnote in the after-battle dialogue? You get one line from Dimitri about how he died in his place, then one line from Gilbert about honouring Dedue's loyalty, and then it's almost as if the narrative goes "moving right along!".

Granted, I haven't even started exploring in Chapter 14 yet, so there's probably monastery dialogue that talks about Dedue some more; but still, he deserves a hell of a lot better than having his death brought up and brushed aside in just two or three textboxes in Chapter 13 itself! That didn't sit well with me at all.

I really, really hope I've done enough to save him, because I like him a lot and he deserves good things. =/

With that pinch of salt out of the way, I've got a pile of supports to watch.

Ashe gets a line about Dedue later on, and he sounds pretty cut up about him. (He also brings up Dedue in the WV and SS routes!) I can get Dimitri not saying anything because he's too fucked up right now, but you'd think more people would discuss it more. It's not even "well we're at war, gotta keep moving" because you get an entire month to prepare for every battle.

Did you complete the "War for the Weak" paralogue?
