r/Edelgard

As I stated it's only a plan at the moment and I will need to do a lot of searching and weighing how much it will cost but I just want to know what style of animation you want and if you want it in 2d or 3d and 2d is generally cheaper. My own personal taste would be the retro fantasy 90s art style but that's just a personal taste.

This is just a concept of improvements and expansion ideas to CF. Personally I think having CF being largely similar to keep it's themes intact and having to deal with TWSITD as a 4 map expansion with it's own story to it.

Added content to Crimson Flower ideas

Cutscenes: pre war running away from a transformed Rhea, reunion of Edelgard hugging Byleth and the missiles.

Missed opportunities: Edelgard talking to Byleth and the BE Class her affiliation with TWSITD and her involvement with the activities pre war; the missile lie needs to be talked about. Post paralogue talk on the Indech paralogue.

Paralogues: Edelgard gets a few more with fighting against TWSITD in the main campaign, one of which should include a Edelgard, Lysithea and Hapi paralogue.

Supports: Edelgard should have ones with Sylvain, Ingrid, Felix up to A rank, Marianne, Mercedes,Hapi but only upto A rank, maybe Flayn and Seteth.

An idea Ingrid, Sylvain and Felix will leave if they don't have at least a B rank with both Byleth and Edelgard.

Special recruitments: Flayn and Seteth both need to be at rank B to have both be recruited with both Byleth and Edelgard.

Maybe gain a few relics.

Change Edelgards S rank artwork

The Expansion to Crimson Flower ideas

Have a name for it

4 Maps

A fight against Thales is a must

Maybe Nemesis

Maybe a Arval controlled Shez (just a wild idea)

Maybe a Duke Aegir and Bernie's dad revolt back by TWSITD or Faerghast revolt back by TWSITD or a coalition between the two.

Lore wise Dagda is free and Petra is Queen

More lore added to TWSITD

Argathans name drop for Edelgard to know

Maybe with A rank with both Flayn and Seteth for both Edelgard and Byleth some lore about Nabeteans is introduced to Edelgard.

New mechanics like the Javelins of light in a open field battle which has a large radius and a few turns to hit.

Bring back fog of war mechanic

No rewind time mechanic

Good and bad ending

Good ending Thales is dead and TWSITD will be easier to hunt and finish of in the shadows.

Bad ending and it will be a very controversial idea but I do want to make TWSITD and Thales more cruel and that is Thales turning Edelgard into the Hedgemon and after the fight Edelgard will be like the Edelgard in Azure Gleam. The requirements to overcome Thales is to have A rank supports with Byleth and BE class but not in the overall dramatic power of friendship type though.

Let me know what you think of this concept since I generally do think as a fandom CF can get the rest of its potential realized instead of waiting for a remaster that is unlikely to improve upon CF. Another point to make is anyone here or knows anyone who is capable of modding and animating (for the cutscenes) since this will likely be a big undertaking to accomplish if you are interested in improving CF.

I think it's time that CF finally got the content it deserves and I think we as fans should at least try to fill in what should be there the reunion cutscenes of Edelgard hugging Byleth, the missiles, pre time skip showing Edelgard and the others running away from a transforming Rhea. Edelgard filling in on the Black Eagles and Byleth her involvement with TWSITD since that is a point of criticism we can't ignore or excuse. Adding some more maps and with TWSITD it can be at Shambahla after some time after the war to basically show a kickstart to the Shadow war.

I'm just saying we should try to do something with the route we all love it deserves better than it got.
