Do we still not know what exactly NG+ carries over? If its character levels that would kind of suck because leveling is fun, but if it's, like, your ranks in weapons and magic so you can more easily swap classes or recruit characters, then cool.

No one's allowed to discuss that yet, and the one person who's leaking in spite of the NDA hasn’t beaten the game yet. He got past the timeskip this morning. Someone posted video of playing with low-level Golden Deer characters with their post-skip models, which I think was a mistake, but it indicates a possible “adult costumes” option in NG+.

My money's on being able to keep your renown (or the bonuses you’ve bought with your renown). Those bonuses have effects like doubling your class mastery rate, giving extra experience, and improving your teaching.

I want to know whether there's a lunatic mode.

Post-timeskip Edelgard is still only 1.58m tall, or 5'2" in American units.

The only thing that we seem to know might carry over is possibly the ability to use post-timeskip full body models whenever you want, because we've gotten in-battle screenshots and video of students with pre-skip portrait art and low levels running around with post-skip models.

I've caught some of the visual leaks, and I'm just amazed that Bernadetta apparently gained 6 inches during the timeskip, despite already being 17 prior. She goes from just about the shortest person in the game at 4'11" to a rather decent 5'5".

Not post-timeskip they're not. In fact I think they're overall right around real world averages, it's just that Japan has the habit in animation of younger people (even late teens, and particularly girls) being super short next to adults, so there's a silly amount of growth between pre/post-timeskip. Edelgard's just short even compared to most of the female cast.

The old French officer corps had a habit of promoting impressive looking (tall) people. So even though he was average sized for a Frenchman, he was short for a French general. Also, the English loved to harp about his height in their propaganda, and they had the printing presses to make it stick.

Post-timeskip mechanical spoilers:

All four lords do get unique classes. Edelgard has Armored Lord (with armor movement, boo!) and Byleth gets a special infantry class with a name that might be extra spoilery. It seems fairly obvious that Dmitri will have a horse and that Claude will indeed ride a wyvern.

No confirmation on what they specialize in, although the odds-on favorites would be Authority, their respective default weapon types, and their respective movement types. Since Byleth's class is infantry, it might have a third specialization in something else; I would guess Faith, Byleth's hidden talent.

Apparently there still is but of course it's less structured. You'll still be training and such but with less/different options and more battles.

Most of these are obvious, but where does Claude getting a wyvern come form? I never saw him as the "giant death lizard" sort. Have we ever had an archer wyvern rider before?

I don't think we had archer wyverns. But new combinations are always cool.

Claude getting a wyvern was one of the more interesting details in the Thanibomb leaks from a few months back.

(On classes) Claude getting a wyvern is in the Thanibomb leak; he’s been shown in Wyvern Rider repeatedly in pre-release footage; and he has a strength in flying.

And no, I believe this would be only the second flying archer class ever after Kinshi Knight.

I think considering Edelgard’s strength in armor and Dimitri’s strength in riding, it’s safe to assume that Claude’s strength in flying also corresponds to his post timeskip class. And since pegasuses are again female only but he does have access to wyvern classes...

The ROM has been dumped and posted to 4chan.

More on post-skip class mechanics: The unique lord classes supposedly have no requirements and are simply added to the characters' certifications after the skip. So, for instance, you won’t necessarily have to train Edelgard in Armor to use the class (although I assume that higher Armor ranks will have significant bonuses).
