its a fairly common english phrase tho?

Yeah. I think it's a common expression in a lot of languages since the "eyes are the window of the soul" etc. We have a similar one in Portuguese too. And I've seen it a lot in English books.

I've played most FEs a ton of times. I think FE1 is the only one I haven't played multiple times, and most are at at least three. But I usually space them out. Playing Conquest->Birthright->Revelation in Japanese in a row then doing it again in English a few months later contributed a ton to my disdain of Fates because the flaws get exposed mor easily with scrutiny

Hey, I'll play all the routes.

...and probably burn out before I finish any route but hopefully I actually pull it off this time.

And also maybe get around to finishing Birthright too.

I will probably burst through the first route, then do a slower route immediately and maybe take a full break before starting the third. Which if the DLC is good I might pair up with that

I, too, will marathon all three routes and then be so burnt out I won't be able to play the game again until the next FE comes out.

Endorph

I'll play however many routes there are within the first month of iit being out probably, but the route you do first obviously frames how you view everything else about the game so it's still a pretty important decision. If say, Hubert is a massive rear end in a top hat on Blue Lions/Golden Deer route, then that's gonna be your main impression of him, as a random example.

Speaking of said preview, this looks like about the right level of arrogance for an imperial heir.



Also, the game appears to use set seeds for the class exams, since the GameXplain guy said

"And I did a bit of save scumming to try to retake the same course over and over again. Restarted about 5 or 6 times, never passed despite like a 68% chance"

i'm going to love this game so much and play it so much, time permitting, that i'm gonna be unable to ever pick it up again by the time i'm done with it, a la awakening at release

also i guess we have the title screen cinematic? dunno what can be gleaned from this that we don't already know

Every other preview says there's major decisions within each route, arg, so it looks like 8 playthroughs minimum at this point, assuming it's not fake choices like awakening.

I do appreciate Sothis being in the gay baby jail. Stop it already with child characters "that are in reality 1000 years old" being romance options.

I mean they can be major choices without drastically altering the route. Like the plot could be overall the same but you could recruit one teacher or another, for instance. That'd be a major choice.

im insanely mad that people are acting like the lesbians are getting the promised land when i can date neither catherine nor shamir, and instead i get 'evil empress that must be put to the blade', 'evil bishop that must be put to the blade,' 'lisa imai,' 'ruri hoshino,' and 'a side character from an early 2000s yuri manga who gets called onee-sama by one of the antagonists and acts as a humanizing trait for her'

like idk there's obvious issues with the lesbian options too but people are utterly refusing to engage with them because they're slightly better in some ways. overall im not really mad about the options at hand considering my expectations but idk why the people who are mad are pretending the disparity is this stark.

Dude I’m literally a wlw too you don’t need to rant at me.

We don’t even know that those other two even ARE the other options, the previous leak mentioned Manuela as an option who IS an older woman.

i was explaining why the image made me mad, and also i really doubt its manuela considering that the person with a preview copy referred to the two other f/f options as 'spoilers' but then showed gilbert and alois fine, indicating they don't consider teachers spoilers, and manuela is just a teacher.

So since only Byleth gets S Ranks, and since there doesn't seem to be any limits on Supports, do we think that there might not be paired endings for the rest of the army this go around?

Previewers were saying that some characters, including students post-timeskip, have existing relationships and marriages within the story so it wouldn't make sense for their supports to be strictly romantic

IGN wiki has everyone's base stats and proficiences/weaknesses. Hopefully they have growth rates soon too, but you can mostly intuit those based off bases.

I'm not sure if Shamir was a guest in one battle I saw, but if she was permanent there, the level requirement to recruit her isn't that high if it's pre time skip.

Some characters look really pigeonholed while others are wide open developmentally.

Also I feel real bad for the ones that lack hidden talents and crests. Mostly because some of the crest effects are loving crazy powerful.

I am HERE for axe mage.

But seriously, considering the limited charges mages have (I think a saw a screenshot where Thunder had 8) it might be very useful for magic users to be able to use melee weapons as well, depending on how long the maps are.
