Nohr was the only passable game in the series, because its map design was legitimately fun and sadistic. The other routes are just Awakening 2 and barely play with the weapon triangle. Opera house in Nohr says, "Oh, you want to just use Camilla's flying advantage to steamroll this water level? Not if we send in the fucking FLYING BOWMEN!" They give you Alexander for one level, and then the next is all ninjas and traps that don't care about his ridiculous stats.
Hoshido mostly has the best waifu. Ginger tomboy is great.
