>AM gets a insane amount of mileage out of having a really complete character arc.

Now this I can agree with. Mainly because in a game about perspective, AM comes the closest at hitting the marks it wants to. For example how everyone rationalizes that day. Because Dimitri and Felix both end up arguing with Ingrid because they're offended at Ingrid's attempts to mask Glenn's brutal murder with stories about honor. Hell Felix falling out with his father was because of Rodrigue making it sound like Glenn did a super duper job getting killed for his country, which is the foundation of his disgust with Faerghus chivalry. But even with Dimitri and Felix being on the same side regarding Glenn, Felix and Dimitri can't see eye to eye because, to Dimitri, he's duty bound to avenge those who died a wrongful death. While to Felix that entire mindset is fucking insane. Meanwhile you got bystanders like Annette and Ashe. Because Gustav's code of honor left him so ashamed that he abandoned home. While for Ashe, Lonato was so infuriated at Christophe being executed for a crime it would've been impossible for him to commit that he led an uprising against the Church, forcing Ashe to kill his own father that he adored. And let's not forget Dedue in the middle of all this who's been made the scapegoat. He just had to accept that everything wrong in Faerghus is the fault of his people. Ingrid's racism and distrust was founded on a lie manufactured by Faerghus nobles and Houses never addresses it. I cannot imagine the cope when she learns of House Kleimen's testimony.

It's all so... good. Why can't he rest of the game be like that? Well because that's entirely too much for the time it has.
