Is that how amiibo work now? I thought they only unlocked songs.

I think someone said they wander around the pavilion too, but I don't recall where (or even if that's true). They definitely aren't playable units though.

You get music (only if they're an FE amiibo) and items spawn around the gazebo. That's It.

Also, Nintendo's got a new trailer up, though for some reason it's not on their main channel.

Also Claude's schemer shtick and apparent flying proficiency is kind of making me think of Naesala.

I haven't looked super in depth at all the characters, so my plan is to play through the school section blind to learn about characters, find out who I like, and if I fail to recruit them, I'll restart and look up strats.

I'm playing Golden Deer and I'll probably do Lions second, so I'll probably grab Bernadetta or Dorothea. Then for Lions and Eagles I'll just grab whoever I miss the most from the Deer.

GameXplain's playthrough took 60 hours, 40 for pre time skip and 20 for post.

I'm assuming because your party is pretty much set in what they're doing since everyone seems to be heavily promoted in pre-time skip screenshots.

20 hours is about the length of most FE games before this so I’m fine with that.

Also because there are like. Five other routes to do.

the 'a supports have implied romance' angle allows for almost exactly the same kind of thing (shipping) but with way less clunky writing

You have a point. At least we're not going to see our troops fumble their way into a relationship...with each other, at least. Overall, it's not too bad of a change if you've got an active imagination, and this kind of topic tends to attract a lot of those.

plus its better for my Gay Brain because if same-sex supports and male/female supports both end in a bit of flirting you can read both as valid versus awakening/fates where even if the same-sex supports had tons of romantic implications (Kjelle/Severa) you only got the WIFE/HUSBAND pop-up and the s-supports with straight couples.

I was hoping to try and poach Hilda for the Eagles because Axe Armor Serra is great and the best thing the Golden Deer have going for them, but since she's apparently their loyalist I dunno. Maybe Lysithea? Probably just whoever I take a liking to and/or lines up neatly with how I end up building Byleth once I start playing.

I've been wondering about this too, but I'm not sure how it'd work with unlimited supports and no S ranks. New Mystery and Echoes didn't have paired endings iirc, but then most of the romantic relationships in those games were already set in stone on account of being remakes. There's also the possibility they pull a Path of Radiance and eliminate character endings altogether, but that was pretty clearly because they were setting up Radiant Dawn instead.

Maybe instead of S rank you'll just get the dialog box asking "yo, dtf y/n?" and all it will change is dialog. Guess we'll find out soon enough!

Wait actually the solution should be that all paired endings you qualify for are simultaneously true. Let me build one big poly network.
