mikogalateaIt's taken me a weirdly long time to get around to it, but I'm finally staring down Chapter 20's story battle in my AM run.
I'm already sad.

Does anyone else find Linhardt to be particularly depressing as an enemy? I'm not saying that just because he's one of my favourites and was my male!Byleth's husbando in my CF run, either.
Even just looking at things before starting the battle proper, his only means of attack is a weak Nosferatu spell, his equipped skills are all evasive/defensive and not offensive, he doesn't have a battalion... they really couldn't have made it clearer from the outset that this man does not actually want to fight. On top of that, his poor physical defence and speed make him so easy to kill that it feels pointlessly cruel to do so. D:
I know I don't have to kill him to clear this map, but on the other hand, I've already heard about what happens to Fort Merceus after the battle. =/ In that case, it might be better if he dies by Byleth's sword instead -- and yes, it does have to be Byleth because if I'm putting myself through this pain at all, I should go all the way with it.
Killing Ferdie back in Chapter 16 hurt enough as is, and I felt bad about Bernie in Chapter 17 as well... I think part of the reason I've stalled on finishing AM for this long is because I'm really not looking forward to killing off the rest of my Eagles. ;.;
Don't even get me started on the whole situation with Mercie and Jeritza. That was a very good paralogue, too. (Quick question, though: does it specifically have to be Mercie who lands the killing blow on Death Knight in order to trigger the special cutscene, or does it just require having completed the paralogue?)

Shame I can't just cancel this map or something. =/
