Everyone says that Felix joining the Empire doesn't make sense, and I agree that the way they wrote his interactions with his former companions in these battles makes it look that way, but I think it DOES make sense if you think about his history, and also what he would have witnessed having joined the Black Eagle House while at the academy. *SPOILERS* below for those who don't know Felix's backstory yet. Felix's brother, Glenn, died during the Tragedy of Duscur attempting to protect Dimitri. Felix's father, Rodrigue, hails Glenn's sacrifice as a noble, just, and therefore good (albeit regrettable and tragic) thing. Felix has been bitter about this ever since it happened, particularly since he saw Dimitri go absolutely berserk and therefore considers Dimitri to be something of a monster (hence the derisive nickname, Boar Prince). Ever since then, Felix has been absolutely jaded about the concepts of knighthood and blind loyalty. He wants to be stronger since he genuinely enjoys swordplay, and also because he wants to (in his mind) overcome Glenn, who was his rival, but even at the academy he is decidedly NOT training simply to be Dimitri's knight. He's not interested in that. With that being the case, Felix is an easy recruit to Black Eagles during the academy days because he values sword strength (which Byleth has), and because, let's be honest, the Black Eagles is overall a strong house. Edelgard is a tank on her own, Bernadetta destroys everything as a sniper (and in Felix's supports with her, has a "technique" he's curious about to disarm opponents), Linhardt is noted as a genius despite being lazy, Caspar is SUPER enthusiastic about training, and so on and so forth. Since Sylvain joins immediately if fem!Byleth is chosen, Sylvain signing up with Black Eagles could be another motivation for Felix since Sylvain IS his best friend (and they made a promise to die together ffs). It's not necessary for him to sign up, ofc, but it's not hard to see why Felix -- thinking academy days are just academy days -- could switch over to Black Eagles, thinking he'd get more out of that House than a House with a mage as a professor. Then the Holy Tomb happens. Felix sees Rhea call for the deaths of Edelgard and Byleth without anything resembling a trial, sees her transform into the Immaculate One and try to murder all of them, and therefore sees with his own eyes that EVERYTHING Edelgard has been saying about Rhea and the Church is *true*. Doesn't mean he's totally happy with the Flame Emperor business, but it does mean that he can see that what Edelgard was saying had merit. The fact that Edelgard also wants to *destroy the system of the nobility* AND gives everyone the option *multiple times* to peace out and not join the Black Eagle Strike Force AND therefore also doesn't believe that knight = laying down your life for your liege lord no matter what also probably further convinced him that this was where he wanted to be. But the final straw probably came when Rhea fled to Faerghus and Dimitri decided to support her No Matter What (and the same goes for Rodrigue et al). Edelgard sent out information about how Rhea is terrible, information that Felix KNOWS is true, but neither Dimitri nor Rodrigue nor anyone else on Faerghus' side will hear it, because they have staunch loyalty to the Church of Seiros given that the Church of Seiros helped Faerghus be established. Regardless of what the Church does, Faerghus sides with them. It's the *same blind loyalty* that Glenn had toward Dimitri, that Rodrigue championed, that Rodrigue wanted Felix to have (and Dimitri, Rodrigue, and Ingrid all bring this up when Felix confronts them). It's the same loyalty that Felix has hated ever since Glenn's death. Does NOT mean that he is HAPPY to fight against them, BUT it makes sense that he WOULD, even if the fact that things ended up the way they did still eats him alive after the fact. (Because that's the thing about, you know, being a person; sometimes there are hard situations where there are no easy or clean answers out of it.) So imo, Felix being on the Empire's side during the war if he joined the Black Eagles while at school makes sense. It also makes sense that he's not entirely comfortable with it, particularly with regards to Ingrid and Sylvain (if neither joined Black Eagles as well). That's what makes the writing in this game so good: the characters are complex and three-dimensional, rather than just being tropes, and the story clearly had a lot of thought put into it.

[@SerPinkKnight]

The fact that you have to fight your former students and friends makes the war arc so much more powerful than most game's war stories. It's also true to life because in war people die and there's no plot shield to hide behind. Anyone can die at pretty much any time. The only problem is you really only get to know characters once you recruit them so on your first run it's much less meaningful when you kill a character and on your second run and later I have found it easy to recruit everyone. Maybe I'll do a BE run where I don't recruit anyone...

[@Fearienify]

Maybe if the game had 3 acts and didnt make you pick a house immediately. Spend 10 chapters bobbing between the three then get the choice, then get the 10 chapters fighting each nation. Wouldve been 30 chapters like every other game and would excuse the reused maps🤷‍♂️

Snippet for other houses students' choice in siding with Edelgard if they're recruited. Blue Lions Felix -- Put off with the hollow sense of nobility that his dad and Dimitri follows. Sylvain -- Despite his fear, he promised to work with Byleth and he won't go back on that. Mercedes -- Puts her faith in the Goddess and that their maybe something wrong with the Church. Ingrid -- Figures that her decision could possibly help her family and their financial problems, in the future, if the Empire wins. Annette -- Believes that there is a chance something is indeed wrong with the Church and something needs to be done. Ashe -- He refuses to trust in the Church after what happened with Lonato and his brother and he wants to know what really happened. Golden Deer Leonie -- Mentioned that Jeralt was suspicious of Rhea and decided to stick with Byleth because she promised that to Jeralt. Lysithea -- If there is a connection between the system of Crests and the Church, then she agrees with seeing both of them fall. Lorenz -- His family was always in good terms with the Empire. So, this works for both sides. Marianne -- Idolizes Edelgard's ability to go against the world for her belief and wonders if she can gain that confidence for herself. Raphael -- If his sis is safe, that's fine with him. He also points out that it is not mandatory that he sides with the Alliance just because he lived there. Ignatz -- Put his faith in Byleth and refuses to run away from fighting.

[@HIERARCHYOFMEMES]

Am I the only one who gets annoyed that Sylvain and Ingrid only justify their actions by saying they’re fighting for the professor? Like, they’re in the long list of victims of the system that Edelgard is trying to destroy, they should have brought that up.

[@LAUTARO735]

Wasn't Sylvain brother situation part of the crest problem? Heck, even Ingrid has a problem with it

[@HIERARCHYOFMEMES]

@@LAUTARO735 Yes, Miklan was disinherited because of his lack of a crest when Sylvain was found to have one instead, and for that reason, Miklan abused Sylvain to no end. And so Miklan is basically one of the key reasons Sylvain hates crests. The types of women who only want him so they can get into the nobility or strengthen their ties with it by having a "crest baby" are another one. The latter is similar to Ingrid's problem, which is that she's receiving lots of offers to be effectively 'bought' by guys who want her only for her crest. A few of her supports and her paralogue with Dorothea make mention of that.

[@illusionofquality979]

They might have been affected negatively by the system but they were still close friends with Dimitri and didn't want the whole war to happen. if the system was to be changed, they would prefer a more peaceful method rather than to cut through their former classmates and Dimitri. |t's the same mindset many of the BLs have when you follow Edelgarde since even they say that they are following professor as oppose to Edelgarde herself. It's quite telling how much faith they have in her believes and actions despite being her classmates.

[@angrypepe7615]

Seriously sylvain absolutely hates crests. His brother tried to kill him because sylvain was going to be the leader of their house because of his crest. He feels like women only truly value him because he has a crest. A large part of his character is his hated towards crest. Similarly ingrid also has her issues being that she is constantly being offered large sums of money to marry random noble dudes thanks to her crest. I don't get why this wasn't mentioned especially since both characters have an issue with it.

[@AtheAetheling]

Because ingrid fighting for the black eagles is incredibly forced given her personality of a loyal knight. Whether she was unhappy with the Crest system or not isn't something that would matter to her. Edelgards actions she would find reprehensible, so the only thing to do is concentrate on byleth.

[@redgames1202]

It’s cool to see a side a Felix where he struggles to kill the people he cares about and then there’s his father

personally i am loving this route. i recruited everyone and for some reason i really enjoy watching their turmoil about this choice. to me its just proof at how well written these characters all are ;3

[@caitlyn228]

god seteth and flayn’s dialogue if you kill them literally made me cry, this is why I made sure I spared them

[@laurenwilliams6896]

-Sylvain, Marianne and Lysithea have fairly solid reasons to fight to destroy crests. -Ashe has good reason since he lost his father bc of the church. So does Annette. -Alois and Leonie's loyalty was always with Jeralt so I mean.. I guess that's a reason -Lorenz could go either way given his family benefits with siding with the empire I think??? -Mercie, Ingrid, Felix, Ignatz, Raphael and Manuela* make very little sense to me. What are they doing there. Liking Byleth shouldn't be enough to leave their homes. -Hanneman is suuper confusing since he literally abandoned his old life to study crests, but his supports with Edelgard sort of explain why he's there so ok I suppose. -Shamir is a mercenary and is on her own side so she can do whatever she wants. *Edit: lmao I completely forgot Manuela is from the empire in the first place. My bad. Y'all make a pretty good point about about Mercie too

[@cordeliafrey9950]

Manuela has the opera company, to be fair

[@annettefantinedominic]

My father abandon me for the Church? That's unacceptable 😡

[@Noctsire]

Honestly Felix on BE feels like a lot more thought went into it than other characters

[@Princess1Heart]

With Mercedes siding with the empire, it seems possible for me to see her do, just highly unlikely. Mercedes suffers under the crest system, separated from her brother, and her adoptive father wishes to use her for her crest and marriage. These are reasons that could make her side with Edelgard and the empire. Also, her brother sided with the empire. However, Mercedes and her mother live at a church in the kingdom and received help after fleeing from House Bartels so this makes it unlikely that she would turn away from the church. Also, with her gentle personality and care for people, I doubt she agrees with how Edelgard execute her methods.

[@RamixTheRed]

Manuela is from the Empire, she doesn't leave her home, she stays to fight for it. Hanneman...idk what's confusing to you about it. He literally explains in his supports with Edelgard that the reason he abandonded his old life is because he hates nobility and he's studying crests to get rid of them forever (by making them accessible to everyone). His goals are 100% in line with Edelgard's, and he even admits that he sees her as a second chance to save his sister.

[@あきら-v7h]

5:55 this is probably the most ironic line coming from this character

i’m 100% sure that the worst thing you can do is putting mercedes vs annette and sylvain vs felix up against each other. it’s just heartbreaking to watch them fight and eventually kill their best friend. if you’re gonna recruit one you have to recruit them both

[@Person-nf6dj]

personally, i’d say the same for hilda and marianne but you can’t even recruit hilda in CF :(

[@diogenes26]

[@legacian4039]

So apparently, and I did not know this, there is one unique interaction that can occur during the Tailtean plains where Dedue and Dimitri will die in each other's arms if Dedue is not given the opportunity to transform before he or Dimitri falls in battle. But unfortunately there are not any other interactions like this, at least not in my experience. Keeping Hilda alive through the entire Derdriu mission, keeping Cyril, Catherine, or Gilbert alive during the final mission. This is something that I recall having more of an impact in previous Fire Emblem games. Especially choosing whether or not to kill an important character after you've bested them in combat or whether to trust a character and allow them to join you. It would have been interesting to see something like this in 3H and how it could've maybe changed the events of the plot, even if subtly.

[@majesthijmenii1976]

Sylvain's talk with Felix and Ingrid before he is about to die by their hands is the saddest thing in the entire game for me. And then Byleth comes along and he just deadass says that he regrets not wooing her lmao

[@tuazonfrancined.2942]

and THIS is why i recruited everyone i could from the blue lions house when i went down edelgard’s route 😭 no doubt that the blue lions house really does bring out the most emotion in you. forever my favorite house

[@jas8288]

I have a hard time believing many of the Blue Lions would join the empire. I can't speak for Golden Deer since I don't know them as well, but here are my reasons. - Ingrid's whole thing is her loyalty to her kingdom, and her chivalry. To betray her family, her childhood friend(s), her king and kingdom.. huh. And she has never really blamed Crests for her situation, just her family's poor financial situation. Let's be real, even if she didn't have a crest, she'd get married off anyways as a noble lady with many brothers... Also in GD route, after Dimitri's death some of her monastery dialogue expresses her possible regrets and feelings that she should've been by his side. - Sylvain's hatred for the crest system is a valid point. However, in his paralogue he also mentions how he believes that the ruined kingdom will be fixed when Dimitri gets on the throne. As well, a key part of Sylvain's character is his inability to trust people and form deep relationships. To me, his loyalty is less to his kingdom - but more to his allies and friends, the few people he learned to love and trust. If Ingrid & Felix don't also turn, I am a firm believer that he would never leave them. And I'm already explaining why I don't think Ingrid & Felix would turn.. - Felix is one that many people say would join because of his "hatred for Dimitri". However, on every route besides BL, he's pretty regretful and sad to kill his friends. And in GD, literally all but 2 of his monastery dialogues are about dimitri, wondering if hes still alive, wondering if he couldve saved him, wanting him to rest in peace. he's also the only character who has variations of all his endings depending on if its azure moon or not. For Sylvain, people argue because of his hatred for crests, but Felix's main conflict & ideals have never been about crests, the church, or nobility. Pretty much his only reason for joining the empire is "i wont serve the boar".... if he were to leave dimitri, i'd be able to believe he'd join golden deer as a neutral party, but not directly against the kingdom - Mercedes. I get when she joins CF, the argument is "she believes in the goddess' teachings but doesnt believe the church is right!!!" BS. Mercie loves the church, and they have been caring for her since she was kicked out of her family in the Empire. Yes, that was because of her Crest - but she has never expressed hatred over it, and even if she did, she would never blame or turn against the church for the crest system. - Annette: people make the argument that "the church/kingdom stole her father from her" and that's why she'd join the kingdom. Sorry, but to me that doesn't feel like a good reason. Having a deadbeat dad doesn't mean youre going to join war against his kingdom... and it's been shown that Annette does love her father despite him abandoning her. she doesn't really have as strong of a reason to stay loyal to the kingdom (unless to reconcile with her father), but i dont see her joining the empire either. maybe golden deer. - Ashe is someone people say could join because of what the Church did to his brother. But if you read his supports with Catherine and Gilbert, it shows you enough that he doesn't completely blame them. His brother WAS involved with the plot to assassinate Rhea, and Lonato was blinded by vengeance instead of thinking about his son that was still alive. As well, even if it's just a simple C-B support chain with Dimitri... let's just say Ashe seems to like and respect him. Let's not forget, his sense of chivalry and want to be a knight serving his king almost rivals Ingrid's. A core part of his character is how he wants to follow Lonato's teachings, and it's clear that Lonato (though he rebelled against the church), was loyal to the Kingdom and the goddess. This is really long since I just started rambling, but these are my thoughts on why I don't believe the Blue Lions would join the empire and abandon Dimitri/the Kingdom. I could believe that they might join Golden Deer though.

[@isumademonfox8913]

Read all of it and I agree

[@CGrascal]

Annette's reasoning why she decides to stick around is because she's worried that there might actually be corruption going on within the Church. Rhea being sketchy and quick to demand punishment does also tend to paint her in a negative light as well. So if burning down the Church is the only way, then she'll go with that. Yes, she did mentioned that she didn't want to fight Gilbert. But if that were to case, then she'll accept it.

[@kellyjohana516]

Golden Deers are very open to either side. Mostly because a lot of them are commoners or they are not religious. The only ones I think don't make sense are Leonie and Hilda. Leonie because she knows that the Empire was connected to those who killed Jeralt. Hilda (besides the obvious) is not a person who will partake to initiate a war.

[@jas8288]

​@@kellyjohana516 I agree. Hilda actually in canon ISNT recruitable in CF, as it's the only route where you actually fight Claude and she wouldn't betray him. Leonie, ofc Jeralt's death. Though I can see her morals conflicting here, because she wants to follow Jeralt's child but not to Jeralt's killers.

[@Moda-pf8wt]

Agreed.

[@DarthGardens]

In claude path you dont kill as many former students and you never want to. The only time you kill students after timeskip is at the battle of eaglelion, battle of fort mercious, and battle of empire capital. It never feels forced and claude recieves help from dedue and hubert at the end, implying that by withdrawing from the dimitri/edelguard rivalry, the golden deer stayed allies in a sense with everyone but the slitherers
