Bad news: There's absolutely no yuri between the side characters - the one female/female support chain that doesn't involve the previously described trio is a platonic and every girl bar two is romantically paired with men. And that includes Primula, being turned down by Scarlet in their support chain, then getting together with the emperor in the "losers of the MC bowl getting together" way. It seems like devs decided that Scarlet/Lilly should contain every drop of the game's gayness. Even the token yaoi couple's S Support is played more for laughs in comparison to the het romantic ones.
Good news: Happy yuri marriage ending on the "recruit everyone" path. And it actually gets a solid amount of build-up too. Scarlet proposing to Lily after conquering the empire, Lily running away by felling guilty of being related to the main villain and her crippling lack of self-esteem, Scarlet turning ballistic, trying to rescue her on her own before the rest of the cast gives her the power of friendship speech, them bringing the best out of each ofther after reuniting and Scarlet announcing she will marry the big bad's daughter to his face before beating him up. Cute stuff, even if sadly mostly located in the second-to-last and secret final chapters,
Gameplay/story thoughts: The pacing is wack, wasting three acts on stomping on guys that don't matter except Scarlet's dad and introducing most of the actual, semi-decent plot near the end. EXP distribution is a bit weak, and maybe that's why there's a really obvious "grind everybody to max level and get S supports" spot before the final act. Most endgame combats ends up in one-sided stomps, which is either satisfying or frustrating - but after I abandoned my FE tendency to never let anybody die and just accepted that drowning elite enemies in bodies is the way to go, the game ended up feeling better. Quite a good time if you bring your expectations to just the main couple.
