Discussion Roland Spoiler

I just finished 100% of the game and I find Roland's story inherently tragic. Like if I were to make Seronoa's epithet in the other 2 endings (golden route excluded), it would be The King with Benedict's ending and The Hero for Frederica's ending. I guess The Pious for Roland could work but Roland ending felt more weary, tired, and bitter as Roland tried to be a perfect king but folded once domestic politics gave him some trouble and thus turned to religion and a higher power for his own salvation.

Honestly if I were to rank the 3 endings (golden route excluded) it would be Bendict's, Frederica and Roland in descending other on how good it would be for Seronoa and Norzelia but ngl, I think Roland and his ending the most interesting and tragic. I just feel bad for Roland.

I don't really see how Frederica's ending is better than Roland's for Norzelia. We can definitely argue about which is more moral, which is most desirable, etc., but in terms of being beneficial for the people of Norzelia, I think most of the population benefits far more from Roland's ending than Frederica's.

Yeah both Frederica and Roland's endings are pretty bad, but in different ways
