In this Support Science, I want to explore the three stages of Dimitri’s mentality as he edges to the point of losing his grip on reality and his lifelong climb back when he goes over that point. At the center of this internal struggle lies two of Dimitri's most important values: the compassion for the living and the compassion for the dead. In this video, I will chronologically outline his journey, and in doing so, hone in on how all of the above mentioned values, especially the two I specifically mentioned just above, change and influence him. Through a critical analysis of the Tragedy of Duscur, Edelgard’s betrayal, and Cornelia’s tyranny, into his isolation in Garreg Mach, I will explore how he goes from a kindhearted and compassionate teenager into a man so beaten down, psychologically destroyed and isolated so as to be unrecognizeable. Then I will examine how, when confronted by his peers and those he loves, Dimitri’s morality once again transforms to lead him back to a path towards redemption. It is popular to say, even in-game, that Dimitri’s journey “returns him to normal,” but I disagree. I argue Dimitri was never “normal” from the start. Rather, his journey is one that takes him from a man hounded by his conscience to serve the dead to a man, though he cannot control it, is willing to confront reality - the good and bad - for what it is.
(Choose Your Legends Dimitri just got announced in Fire Emblem Heroes. What an absolute unit.)
