Fire Emblem: Black Dragon - Story Movie Part 2 (Chapter 6 - 8)

A story-only movie of Black Dragon, the first FE romhack I ever made.

One problem I have with the way I wrote Black Dragon is that I took so long to get to the actual plot, with five chapters until the actual main quest gets underway. I feel like it's something that could interfere with people's ability to hold interest in the story, but I also don't think that I could trim much of it down without losing some of the character and atmosphere of the piece. I have a lot of trouble trimming the fat of my stories because I'm always scared that cutting too much will end up scalping a character of nuance or creating a plothole or something like that. It's why my stories tend to get a little bloated.
Regardless, now that the main story is on it's way, there's some great character interactions in the mix. I'm happy to have stuff like Shane being trans (something I was nervous about people accepting for some reason, but it ended up being something people liked), especially with the way that it interacted with Zean's flashbacks and his character. There's also some stuff I'm less happy about, like all the sex talk in Chapter 8, which feels a little out of place and tonally dissonant, but there also wasn't a great place to put half of it.
I stopped uploading the initial showcase at Chapter 8 because of how Chapter 9 opens up, which we'll see soon enough. Everything from here on out is stuff that YT hasn't seen, so get ready for that.

I had a good laugh at the idea that the main character is responsible for a teenage angst song that became popular across an entire continent. I can see why you got exiled from FE Universe for this romhack though. I can only assume they want to keep all content on their site rated T or lower like the source material.

It's not quite that simple, but that isn't too far from the mark.
