[fe tellius][meta][5.7k] ...What do you mean it's not self-explanatory?

Tellius Recollection tells us that Gallia is a nation “without written law or political institutions” and then chooses to not elaborate much further, leaving the reader perhaps even more confused about how Gallia works than they were when they started that sentence.

Digging through RD supports over at Serenes Forest. For some reason royals and other characters with titles are much more likely to be adressed with unique support lines. An odd choice, but it does give us some fun unique lines between people who otherwise wouldn't talk to one other.

#fe tellius #having stared at this in my drafts for nearly two months #i have finally realized why #caineghis #only has a unique outbound line to pelleas #(and to elincia but that part's eaaaaaaasy)#even though like half the cast has something to say to him #he's ignoring everyone else b/c they did something to annoy him but now's not the time to actually start shit #nailah gets ignored because she implied he was rash in their c support. even if she's right she shouldn't say it.#nealuchi called him old. giffca didn't really approve of the 'let's go borrow urvan' pitstop.#he didn't like the tone tibarn took with him in the meeting three years ago. naesala's always been a problem.#reyson seemed to imply that gallia wasn't good enough for his father once. rafiel didn't invite him to the wedding.#things like that.#but pelleas? he's a new face. someone caineghis hasn't met before.#and it wouldn't hurt to knock him down a few pegs. stress him out a bit. remind him of where he stands. (but be subtle about it)#and you might think that sanaki's also a new face for ghis. and you're be right!#but there's a crucial difference here: pelleas 1) isn't like 10 years old and 2) isn't holding a 13 mt fire tome #i dont think he thinks he'd lose if it comes down to it but the optics would be pretty bad...

#fe15 #like the composition of this

When defeated in Victory or Death, Limstella says "I am not human. This body and this heart are constructs. Yes, as is this sorrow." which, when taken literally, is them saying "morphs do not experience subjective consciousness".

This seems to contradict how Sonia and Ephidel act (both are generally pretty arrogant, Ephidel sounds pretty genuinely betrayed during his final moments, and Sonia has lots of contempt for everyone who isn't herself or Nergal), and the last sentence makes it seem more like Limstella has been taught or 'programmed' as a morph to register the feelings that they experience as 'fake', as they are correctly registering the feeling of 'sorrow' but disregarding it as an illusion fundamentally different from the emotions felt by 'real' people. The philosophical implications of this are somewhat interesting, as it’s prompting the player to ponder the differences between a person who believes that they have undergone ego death (but hasn’t, as they’re experiencing that belief through subjective consciousness) and a person who has undergone genuine ego death.
