>! I don't mean the outcome just how the story is told. Golden Deer's focus felt like it was trying to address Those Who Slither In The Dark, And ultimately it ends up with Claude pursuing the central church as the regard people hold crests to is a standard he wanted to abolish.!<

>!Scarlet Blaze Edelgard starts off by dealing with TWSITD, And then it proceeds to the kingdom. But about halfway through the story it reverts back to this same premise and you end up going back and forth between the kingdom and those who slither in the dark, Until eventually you are tackling both in Garreg Mach.

I think the normal ending was more of a conclusion because while TWSITD still exist, (Which is what Edelgard alludes to finishing at the end), The kingdom & Alliance are in shambles with Dimitri & Claude dying, And the central church with Rhea's death. Edelgard goes on to continue conquering Fodland to rebuild & reform it, And ultimately achieve the unity that TWSITD were against.!<
