Is the vocab/grammar in Fire Emblem 3 Houses relevant for the N2 or too irrelevant/archaic?

Japanese

I’m planning to take the N2 this December and passed N3 last year in July. Recently I’ve been obsessed with Fire Emblem 3 Houses and after completing the game in English, ive been watching Game Gengo’s video where he goes through the beginning of the game in Japanese and explains the vocab/grammar along the way. Getting hit with stuff like おぬし as a pronoun and all the archaic ways Sothis conjugates verbs, I’ve wondering if I’m wasting my time using this as a study resource and I’m gonna end up learning stuff that’s way too far removed from actual jlpt test content and too niche/historical :sob:

For anyone else who used Fire Emblem 3 Houses as a study resource, please give me your honest opinions here

not playing that game, but have had おぬし come up in manga

It won’t appear on N2, but its not a waste to learn stuff like that if you enjoy media. The best study material is the one you enjoy and feel motivated to keep using, so don’t need to worry too much about min-maxxing imo.

As a related note, I’m gonna have to check out game gengo one of these days… I’m not much of a gamer, but it sounds fun

Completing the game from start to finish all in Japanese, even if you don’t understand everything, would be highly beneficial. And you would definitely encounter grammar and vocabulary that would come up in N2 and beyond.
