the fire emblem fandom has gained a lot of new fans over the past decade, and undoubtedly some of them have thought to themselves “what this franchise really needs is a trading card game.”

AI text generation works because many people will blindly accept anything written in a suitably formal tone of voice, and it is easy to train an AI on what “suitably formal” means
