I lost to you once, monster. I shall not lose again! Die now, that our future can live!
A fourth house doesn’t seem likely for all kinds of reasons, but at least it would only require eight new characters.

It would be hilarious if the game Three Houses ended up having four houses though.

I'll bet that there's a point where the three armies combine and that's what that logo is for. Mix the three colors together enough, and eventually you get gray...

I found the trailer so much more interesting than the DLC news. Claude is rocking a Wyvern, another confirmation of the Thanibomb leaks. And at the very end of the trailer, adult Edelgard, wielding the sword of Seiros, is dueling/fighting Byleth. Seems like it confirms what people suspected about the E3 trailer, that her kneeling and saying "My... teacher..." was after she has been defeated by Byleth. I wonder if that fight is inevitable, no matter what route you choose? Byleth is rocking the Sword of Creation, and is bearer of the Crest of Flames/Fire Emblem, while Edelgard has the Crest of Seiros, of course. So that fight is a recreation of the Divine Seiros and the Liberation King Nemesis fighting one another a thousand years ago. Said duel has also been shown in every Three Houses trailer. So really, will Edelgard turn against you even if you go with the Black Eagles? That would also explain why the leaks said there are two Black Eagles routes, perhaps you can avoid the Edelgard/Byleth battle in a New Game+ route, or something like that.

there's promotions, the weapon triangle sort of exists in the form of breaker skills, the school is only the first ten chapters of the game

Here's a japanese overview trailer that just went up.

Probably nothing super important or new, but we get a look at a lot more characters, systems and some new maps in action. I'm sure serenes and such will pick it apart for any extra stuff soon

Also, game looks good. It might just be that it's getting closer to release and my hype is building but the more I see of the game the more confident i get about it.

I'm really excited to play this video game!!

The new story content DLC will be a side story separate from the main story with new locations and characters accoring to the Switch store. So something along the lines of Rise of the Deliverance for Echoes I guess.

Having never touched the dlc, what do they add to the story to help it make sense?

Hidden Truths literally has a 15 minute exposition dump by the good anankos (anankos split in 2 btw (the good one dies at the end of Hidden Truths)) explaining the full backstory of Anankos, why he went mad, why he called the awakening trio, what he needs them to do and so on. Lillith is Anankos' daughter and Corrin's half sister, she's working for bad anankos but then good anankos dying breaks her out of it and she pledges to use the outrealm dragons or w/e to help Corrin but Never Tell The Truth

the 6 part kid dlc I think is about what Anankos would continue to do if he wasn't stopped, which involves destroying a bunch of realities and timelines. It's been a while and the story didn't stick with me as much as sitting through all the text boxes in Hidden Truths

Endorph

none of that stuff matters at all to the story though

not to defend it because theoretically it should matter a lot but lilith is never around and anankos is just abig evil dragon regardless of what backstory you give him

I think it matters in the sense that its nice to have things like motivations but all it really succeeds in doing is being more of a mess.

The 6 part kid story did get translated, complete with a localization of both of Shigure's songs.

We didn't get the 2 festival fluff DLCs for the kids. I'm guessing they saw it as too much to be worth translating

I was gonna say, that art didn't look bad at all. It does look kinda crappy from earlier footage though.

There was also a preview video of her walking somewhere at some point, and that's the moment I turned from "look a bit weird but overall cool!" to "oh no, my eyes".

But they've obviously been working on the graphics, so maybe they'll look better by release.

I feel like the battalion system is partially to blame, at least for the environments. I don't think it's entirely coincidental that the game looks like this and has Koei Tecmo assisting. It looks a lot like Fire Emblem Warriors which is pretty similar for frame rate and such

also while I get what you mean it is probably not the best thing to compare to
