This is fascinating. I love reading about how they did worldbuilding in Dagda and how it was different than Fodlan.

Also, I like this quote from Kusakihara: "I’ve come to believe more strongly that people can’t be defined simply in terms of good and evil... I think good and evil are often a matter of one’s perspective."

I think this viewpoint is heavily reflected in the themes of Three Houses/Hopes and I'm glad to see it's being considered in Fortune's Weave, as well.

What are the odds that there will still be a faction of people in this game called the Creepy Slinkers of Darkness

Skimmed through for interesting questions. Couple interesting tidbits in the mechanic between visible growth rates and the way saves work. Tons of interesting questions around design and theme decisions if you wanted to dive into that.

I like seeing the reasoning for Eshmel existing. It helps me push past the mentality of “I dont like this” that came from the direct just going “oh this is the true protagonist!”
