Forgot a lot-- like it's not just me defending it, you will find Rhea-disrespectors on forums discussing Three Houses and comparing the Central Church to the Catholic Church(they hate both), it's inescapable. But also I wanted to talk about some [sry] I remembered from a while back on a forum who was mad that Christians thought Narnia was about Christianity because wtf it's just about a lion.That'll be a good post.

Played Claude's campaign first. Hillarious take by the way, but you may be reading too far into Claude's campaign. Claude exists in the story where the real MC and defender of the Church, Dimitri, has to die so Claude can be MC. The real beer's between Edelgard and Dmitri while Claude just... exists.

Actually though, Dmitri and Claude's factions have no beef. The devs just didn't want us to have both Claude and OP Dmitri breathing down on Edelgard. An alliance between the deers and lions during the war would have made sense, but then we would have a way different game than what we got.

Good, Claude SHOULDN'T beef with D.He did ally with Main Character Dimitri in D's Three Hopes campaign, but definitely just because it was convenient. In his own though, he allies with Edel and invades Handsome Morally-Good Guy Dimitri's kingdom "because it's the quickest way to end the war". The one he is starting. And everyone just cheerfully goes along with it, including devout characters like Marianne and Ignatz.

Like imagine the U.S. declaring "Okay everyone, we're going to get rid of the Pope! :) Don't worry, silly Catholics, we'll still allow you to worship at our new Edelgard-Approved Southern Church." The answer is "No you're not."

I'm reading some good-sounding stuff about Three Houses though, so maybe I'll try to actually play through the whole thing. It doesn't seem to kidnap you and force you to oppose the Rhea like 3Hopes does-- I see a guy calling it fanfiction and I trust his opinion.

"Three Hopes is very stupid fanfiction-tier AU storytelling that blatantly (and very poorly) tried to soften Edelgard while still making her the instigator of the war. I cannot understate how much I dislike that game and its emotional void of a story." I can TELL that this is true, so Houses must be better.

Wait, you played Three Hopes and not Three Houses? Explains a lot. Yeah, Claude is really different in Hopes. Three Houses alludes that he could be a backstabber, but it's more a red herring because the writing team decided against making that part of his character. They must have brought that into Three Hopes, which for it's focus on action over story may have done character assassinations, especially on Claude

Three Houses Claude is goofy and a bro, not maleficent. I think Claude's character in Three Hopes was one of the main complaints about the game.
