Fire Emblem: Blood Moon

Fire Emblem Blood Moon is a Fire Emblem game, created as a PS5 exclusive with the explicit intent to be a game based on criticizing the Gaza Genocide and American "democratic" imperialism after a No More Heroes game about said genocide got cancelled.
Unlike most FE, this game does have a few magical-cyberpunk elements such as guns, firearms and cell phones (powered by the magical fuel called Nenryo), guns inflict magic-based damage but are weaker than swords. The Lord, Elise Rashid (class: Moonsinger/Moon Lord), is a gunner and healer, while his wife Miyuki (class: Solarblade/Sun Lord) uses a katana and offensive magic.
It's about the Republic of Yaval, supported by the great Western superpower Republic of Olaydha, using dragons to genocide the innocent Tsukijin people (also known as the Moon Tribe), and the protagonist, a Tsukijin named Elise Rashid, seeking revenge against Yavali. The Tsukijin are based on the Palestinians, but their aesthetic is a mishmash of Arab, Mongol and Japanese, with stuff like katana, naginata and kanabo clubs being used instead of swords, lances and axes, and their classes named like the Hoshidan classes in Fates. 
== Plot ==
The game starts in Yamazaki, one of the few Tsukijin villages in the vast desert of the Yavali Republic, when a man named Elise Rashid, one of the Moon Priests who also act as defenders of the village, sees a Yavali Manakete, transformed into a red dragon, flying in the distance. 
He warns the village about the danger, and calls his fellow Moon Priests to fight the enemy, drawing his gun. Elise's wife Miyuki Rashid, who is also a Moon Priest, uses her katana to attack the enemy, while Elise's two combat-capable older children, Akira and Reiko, both follow Elise in his battle against the dragon. They manage to hurt the red dragon, however he spits a blast of fire. Elise attempts to give his own life to protect his children, prays to the Moon God Tsuki-Tenno and a magical shield is created from his body, repelling the fire from around him, Miyuki, Akira and Reiko. However, the Yavali burns the rest of Yamazaki with Elise watching in terror. 
After the attack, Elise wakes up in the now burned village, thanking Tsuki-Tenno for having saved him. He's surrounded by charred corpses and, not seeing Miyuki nor Akira and Reiko, who have run off, goes to check his old home to see whether his other three children, Shin, Masaru and Hiromi, have survived. All of them were exterminated.
== Trivia ==
* Elise Rashid is male. His name is pronounced eh-LEE-seh, not eh-LEES like the other Elise that appears in Fire Emblem Fates.
