Merce sounds like her english va is trying a bit too hard to be breathy, yeah. Fe healer asmr.

It's at least the only voice I actually dislike from the samples we got, it's just a shame that it had to be for the character with my favourite design and intriguing backstory. Not a big deal in the scheme of things, obviously.

She might sound better post-timeskip too. I imagine most people will sound a little different.

Honestly, I can kind of see why they went for Alois. Marital situation aside, he seems like a pretty fun dude to be around. I'm completely lost on Gilbert, though. Putting it gently, he seems like he's got some very niche appeal.

They probably would have made Jeritza a M/M option if they did. Nothing gets a fujoshi's imagination going like an antagonistic relationship between two attractive men.

With the review embargo listed, do you think we might start getting some Let's Plays from reviewer/LPer hybrids on Youtube?

it seems like they only lifted the embargo for pre timeskip stuff, and there's probably limits on how much footage you can upload.

Yeah but even then they usually try to make them prettier, while Gilbert looks like a normal older dude. It's also the fact that Alois also already counts as an older dude, plus Gilbert has a daughter that you teach yourself, that makes me tilt my head a little.

But I don't actually mind it, though, and

Someone noticed that at 2:57 in this intro cutscene, you can see modern skyscrapers for just under a second. Probably nothing relevant and just touching on the time travel aspect of the story, but an interesting detail.

Looking at the beast boss fight on youtube it seems as though they could be challenging to deal with due to the sheer amount of hp they have combined with an ability to attack multiple units at once.

Something bad happens to Dmitri during the timeskip that causes him to go all angrymans and "the nobility must be destroyed."


Edelgard goes all Evil Empress and wants to destroy all the crests - plus a helping of "anyone who doesn't agree with my ideas of justice needs to be destroyed too."


The trailers haven't said too much about post-timeskip Claude and what little we've gotten seems like "it'd be nice if we could all get along again." But, well...


"smile doesn't reach his eyes" huh? Basically, who knows what game he's playing, before OR after the timeskip.

Before timeskip since there's an embargo on post-timeskip stuff. Also that's most likely an awkward translation and what it tries to say is that while Claude's smile is striking he doesn't smile with his eyes, as in his smile is insincere.

No matter how much paperwork I process, it never goes away. It only increases.
claude in one of the more recent trailers was going "welp i don't wanna pity my friends, so i'll end them if it comes to it" or some poo poo like that

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Seems like the idea is that the other two go nuts depending who you side with at the start, and that all 3 of them are good kids but that nobody involved is 100% purehearted.

It'd be weird to only fight Blue Lions/Black Eagles on each others routes with Deer nowhere insight, so I'd imagine Claude's deal is trying to play both sides.
