Uh yeah Okay I wasn’t going to answer asks until everything blew over but here’s the situation:

Your students have political affiliations, family lines and pre-existing arrangements that are confined to the lore of the world built.

It doesn’t mean no romantic interactions. These very much can happen at any support stage, especially A. And I believe there can be “dating” so to speak. S-rank means marriage. And in this world marriage is pure court politics.

It means these students are not going to drop their family and their duty for just anyone.

IS had to decide letting anyone marry anyone, or staying within the boundaries of the story they created. If I’m going to be honest, I’m glad they picked the story.

#honestly so glad they did this #after fates and awakening im tired to of too many s supports #a lot of the pairings just didnt make any sense #and frankly a lot of s supports ruined characters because of how much some didnt make any sense #so im happy theyre chosing to put the story first and foremost #and for these characters it makes sense #a majority of them are nobles with familys that have expectations of them #and also marrying is a timeskip thing #and we know from echoes they arent afraid to keep a support convo from activating until a certain story beat #so im happy they care so much about the story
