Does anyone else find it kind of funny and tragic that the route in 3 hopes that do the best job of showing 2 cultures overcoming their shared history of trauma and bloodshed and have them actually recovering together is actually Dimitris not Claudes.
It starts off with Dimitri being able to prove the people of Duscur innocent of the crime they were excused of he then works to help restore the nation and return their homeland back to them while he makes sure Faerghus knows they are the ones who messed up. This was partly the reason why his nation fell into civil war, but he still Hose ahead with it.
Over the next 2 years, he helps to fix Duscur and bring its people back home . They are still not ready to stand by themselves they are offered all the support Dimitri can give. We see Dimitri invite their leaders into postions of power in Faerghus. There, people are building homes and businesses in a land that ounce hatred them, but is now changing.
We see the Church of Serios offering its aid to the peopel of Duscur dispute the difference in faith simple to spread goodwill as well. Aka showing by example to help the faithful embrace there allies regardless of faith or nation of orgin.
We find out that both nations are sharing culture and knowledge with each other to help both of them improve and grow, and this further the bonds between them. Dudue mentions in his expenditure dialogue that he sees the children of both nations play with each showing how the next generation will not carry the scars and how the current one trust each other.
While it is still not a meeting of equals, mostly because Duscur was so badly crippled it's clear they are moving in that direction, and the 2 nations will have strong bonds going on from this point.
Unfortunately, Golden Wildfire has none of this as insted of having Alymra and the Alliance/Federation coming together in mutual understanding and acknowledging the issue of the last and accepting responsibility it isnted puts all balme onto a third party and have both sides take place in invading and attacking a innocent nation.
The Almyra attacks and crimes against Fodlan are either forgotten or turned into a joke while the Alliance keeping some Almyra child slaves is not even addressed. None of the issues or problems are ever addressed in a mature way as they just find a scapegoat to blame all their problems on.
It's just so disappointing, and honestly, Claude and the Alymra deserved so much better writing than they got, and the games basically just truns them into a racist stereotype and then defend it.
