I'm still going to wait to see all of who is in each house, but as a lesbian drat if I'm not all in on team Black Eagle right away. Also I don't know whether to preorder or wait for a lull in FFXIV, since ShB good.

I should have specified that Claude is the clear victor for school phase.

The timeskip is still a mystery but while Claude seems like he will remain as charming and shrewd he is not an evil emperor or an eyepatched man with a scar over his heart shouting about murder and violence.

Depends entirely if they stay that way if you join the schools. The E3 trailer sounded like the Claude route.

You think you can defeat ME, Ephraimcopter?!?

You couldn't even beat Assassincopter!!!
Of the leaders I like Edelgard the least, but of the houses I like the Black Eagles the most, so I'm probably still sticking with my initial plan of Eagles -> Lions -> Deer.

I'm gonna play an awful lot of this game if it's any good at all.

Maybe Dimitri won't be screaming about murder and violence but their designs give off such strong impressions I absolutely can not believe that say if you choose Edelgard's route she will suddenly be lecturing about the values of friendship and teamwork.

I have not.

But I find it hard to believe they’d release a trailer that obfuscates the personalities of several main characters especially when one of those characters is Edelgard, the most strongly promoted of the Lords. So much so that the game’s theme is named after her.

E: Not that I think the characters will act exactly the same in every route but I don’t think they’re going to be a completely different person in their own route.

TO:LUCT is an extreme example and an outlier. For the record though, at the end of the first chapter, the player has to make a choice between following orders for the greater good (supposedly) or refusing to commit an atrocity. Regardless of which route you take, your childhood friend Vyce flips out and becomes hostile, but for completely opposite reasons -- he condemns the atrocity if you go Law and condemns you for not following orders if you go Chaos. His personality in the subsequent chapters is drastically different based on the route.

I started playing through TO: LUCT for the first time while waiting for FE, and holy gently caress Vyce is a little poo poo. All I've done is finish the tutorial and I already hope I get to be the one who kills him.

Law route Vyce is a pretty okay guy and it's definitely you who hosed up in that regard. Chaos route Vyse is a horrible piece of poo poo.

I haven't owned a Nintendo console since the N64 and I've never played a Fire Emblem before, but since I have a Switch I thought I'd look into this. I tried reading the thread but it honestly seemed like everyone was speaking in tongues.

However I watched a bunch of videos about it and now I am jazzed to the point I'm probably going to pre-order it. I will probably go with the Black Eagles because I keep reading Edelgard as Edgelord and seems appropriate for a school story

If Claude does have an evil route, it has to be based upon the constant King Lear references in the Golden Deer names. In that case, I think the resentment between Gloucester (Lorenz) towards Regan (Claude) for the recent changes in the royal family would be the trigger. Of course, Duke Edmund (Marianne's dad) would be the true mastermind there.

So it seems like post-timeskip Edelgard wants to destroy all the crests which I suspect involves killing a bunch of people eugenics style. Dimitri seems to want to kill all the nobles. So I guess they are destined to be mortal enemies?

I mean, there's a fair chance Sothis is a manakete, and you probably get her as a unit at some point (at the very least, there's a paralogue that shows her as a requirement). And we know you can get bond points with her. As for the first part of the statement... uh...

Your sister, no, because it doesn't look like you have any. A dragon, almost certainly unless they pull the most shocking twist possible by having the little green-haired girl with elf ears not be a Manakete.

For the record, Sothis and wyverns aside, there is definitely a full-blown giant white dragon in this game. It has appeared in trailers as both artwork and as a living, moving, fire-breathing thing, though we don’t know whether that’s in the present or in the ancient past.
