Ah, beta Neimi.
Maybe, if I find a way to make a secret promotion for her.
I have to agree. I wonât say that recruiting Valter couldnât be executed well, but those chapters in Awakening where you can recruit Emmeryn and Gangrel killed all of the narrative weight of the first story arc, which I had considered the only good part of Awakeningâs story. Sometimes you need to let characters stay dead and/or unredeemed to avoid trivializing a story.

but emmeryn and gangrel are essentially free dlc, they donât come back in the main story theyâre only in the game if you recruit them from the paralogues in the bonus box, itâs like saying that being able to recruit eliwood and seliph ruins the experience. Itâs like the creature campaign, optional characters not intended for the main story, kinda like Anna from fates (and awakening to an extent)

I wouldnât say they arenât in the story since they are in chapters that have story segments rather than just being usable on non-canon bonus maps like the bonus units in FE6 and FE8. They way they were added in feels like the game is saying: Surprise! They lived after all. They also have supports and endings, which tells me that theyâre there in universe, unlike the einherjar units. If it doesnât bother you, thatâs fine, but for me, it made a lot of the end of the first story arc seem pointless.

He specifically wasnât really a good guy before picking up the lance.
Duessel : Yes⌠âŚWe were in the middle of a battle. Valter had broken his lance, and when I wasnât looking he somehow took this one. From that moment, he was changed⌠He killed everyoneâeven retreating men. I took the lance from him when I realized what had happened, but it was too late. Madness had awakened within Valter and was coursing through his body. From then on, he hungered only for battle and for blood⌠Itâs not as though Valter was a gentle lamb before, but now his appetite for violence increased many times over. Itâs all because of this cursed lance.
He just wasnât a total bloodthirsty lunatic.

Hey, thatâs a good idea.
We do have Gatekeeper-kun, why not her?
A good moment to add new characters to FE8 would be at chapter 10 of Ephraim road, ingame duessel is followed by three green cavaliers who stay loyal to him, but they could totally be changed to named characters (and with different classes, like a pirate, an archer, and a myrmidon) that join with their general.
For Eirika road, after freeing Carcino, she could be joined by 1-2 characters mandated by Carcinoâs Senate. Aside from being a good addition to the roster, it would be nice to have more character from this place to share more about it (since the only character we have from here is Rennac)

Selena from chapter 13.
It makes sense, it wouldnât be good if you get TWO promoted unitâs three chapterâs,
but still, I want her recruitable, the post game is not enough!
Not good for gameplay. (only for me) but it would be sooo cool!

I think Mansel could join the player on the final chapter, like Athos in FE7 but he would have S-rank in light magic and (maybe) staves only. This also could make him the perfect user of the Latona staff (maybe change it to be his prf?)

Or something similar to Latona, but less potent(only has Fortify range instead of map-wide).
