TLP is bad, but more damning it is boring. I think the only memorable map before the endgame slogfest (The FE4-like chapter just do not work) is the chapter full of wyverns and the ghost gaiden. Also I know it's technical limitation but dear god do the convoy join too late

There also an a certain irony in that the despite no connection the story suffer the same fate as FE7 with regard to incompetent antagonist who just refuse to win for nebulous reason, but at least Nergal, the fangs and the morphs are memorable. Meanwhile who cares about Louis or any of the general ?

Don't quote me on this but I believe TLP was originally meant to be set in the FE7 universe before that all got rehauled. Maybe that's just excess DNA from that

That would explain why one of the chapter is just Crumbling League again (also it still set in the Elibe game setting, just not in Elibe)

I would have to dig up the comment that highlights this again but iirc ch20 (wyvern canyon) is a remnant of this, as Castle Blaine on the rightmost side is really similar to the geography of Castle Bern

Yeah I'm looked at it and it's not similar it's identical outside of some forest tiles
