To be fair to the voice direction, it's 100% in character for Vander, Clanne, and Framme to constantly fawn over you with a cloyingly flattering title, given that their whole thing is that they're part of an order created specifically to be your caretakers/bodyguards/personal fan club.

the twins almost feel like parody tbh, its probably meant to be a little comedically grating. but i get not extending that kind of good faith for player worship stuff after Fire Emblem: Fates for the nintendo 3ds

but its also a tl issue partially because referring to someone just by a title is way more commonplace and comes across less awkward in jp.

it's a shame they didn't do this in awakening

I'm loving the game, Divine One is the only thing driving me nuts.

You all will notice it now. Everyone calls you it not just the beginner crew lol, I'm not going to spoil anything. I just wish I could FedEx arrow it out of my mind. Professor is way easier to ignore. Anyway back to the good game, Divine One.

The answer to the customizeable name + voice acting combo is to make your name from a set amount of names/words/phrases and they awkwardly insert the single line read of those into their actual voiced lines

no ai art is scary in that it puts creatives out of jobs

actually if it gets to that point they might as well just jump straight to "Well, we could hire Patrick Seitz for this character and have to deal with unions and fees... or we could just use PatrickSeitzAlike.exe and save money." which is even worse.

in the hit game fire emblem engage if you go into settings there is an innocuous little setting for unit control style, with direct and cursor. direct has them actually walk around and there's input delay based on them getting there, so there's a weird habit of them ending up in the wrong square. cursor has you draw an arrow from their start location like every game in the series and i recommend you flicking it to that

one guy said the highest hed seen was 14 at chapter 20 or so. dunno about the final battle specifcially but seems like it isnt a case where the game caps out at 12 because of the 12 rings or w/e

Also, having a namable protag literally doesn't make sense when your money maker, FEH, canon names the character anyway.

It is a baffling choice that makes absolute no sense, because it's also like *way* easier to just have Alear as the canon name because...well, one it is. And two, no seriously why are we still naming the protag.

"If you don't have voice acting, letting us rename is fine, but if you do have voice acting, have a canon name" seems like a pretty fine rule of thumb to me.

Hellioning

We've been having these issues since at least FFX over 22 years ago, you'd think people would have figured this out by now.

Hell, you want people to be able to rename Byleth? Jeralt has a last name, just make everyone call them Professor Eisner instead of just 'Professor'. Give Alear a 'divine' name that everyone calls them by in voiced dialogue because that is what you are supposed to do with gods or whatever.

Has there been a single FE game that hasn’t had dubtitles though? You might not hear it with your ears, but when the words “Divine One” scroll across the text box for the one hundredth time in as many seconds, you will hear it with your soul.
