honestly I really do think this would've improved the story a whole lot cuz post time skip is really where u felt the weight of byleth taking the focus away from the lord the most. Ugh Im jus imagining verdant wind without byleth it would've been so much better
byleth was so unnecessary post time skipppp. i really felt the school phase needed them bc choosing a house+mentoring the kids was important but them surviving that fall for 5 years and waking up the day before the reunion was a HUGE ass-pull first of all and secondly like the lords needed time to shine without them???? everything is attributed to byleth’s super powerful ass and its so tiring!!

as much as i love edelgard and dimitri.......them relying on byleth to rein the worst traits of themselves holds them back so MUCH!!! having byleth die could add more drama to their routes something like edie saying "ill take back the humanity you were stolen" or smth among those lines and adds another voice to the chorus in dimitris head and avenge jeralt in byleths name or whatever. [claude voice] rip to them but im different!
YES I WAS MOSTLY THINKING ABOUT EDELGARD AND DIMITRI THE NARRATIVE MAKES THEM SO CODEPENDENT ITS NOT FUNNY. you’re telling me that dimitri would have never recovered from his mental illness bc of Byleths Love or whatever and edelgard becomes cruel and inhumane without Byleths Influence... LIKE IM SO TIRED FIRE EMBLEM JUST LET YOUR CHARACTERS SHINE YOU HAVE GREAT LORDS YOU DONT NEED TO MAKE THEM SECONDARY TO A BRICK WALL
