It was nice that Fates had 9 save slots if you had all 3 games.

It's hard for me to decide whether I want to do the path I'm most interested in first or save it for later. I know I most want to do Golden Deer and Black Eagle, but I get the feeling that Black Eagle will be the house of the two that's closer to the game's "main plot," as much as there is one. So do I do that first and save the other house for second, or vice versa? Will I enjoy it more if I do the darker, maybe more complex Black Eagle plot first or if I save that for after I do the apparently less interconnected Golden Deer path? This is hard.

I will likely agonize over this long enough that I won't even actually play the game for several days and yes I know that's dumb as hell.

Based on the spoilers, I think the intended story path is Blue Lions > Black Eagles (standard route) > Golden Deer > Black Eagles (alt. route).
Black Eagle explains much more about the main conflict between the Empire and the other nations. But the Church route AKA Black Eagles (alt. route) has the most world-building, and answers questions about Sothis, Serios, and the true history of the Church.

How do Amazon pre-orders work for Switch games? I saw that this can be pre-ordered through Amazon, but I thought Nintendo games could only be pre-ordered through the E-shop. Can you use a code you get from Amazon to download the game to the Switch?

Could at least flip one or two, maybe.
They'll give you a code when it releases, some of the physical copies have already shipped.

Class growths got data mined. They're all fairly low overall though, mostly only adding between 20-60 points in total growths.

Growths overall have been toned down from Awakening and Fates. They're more in line with the GBA games though HP is a bit lower across the board


Also there is a mechanical difference between the Noble and Commoner classes, Noble adds 5% charm growth and Commoner adds nothing.

Also the datamine clarified that outside the Lords and Byleth the Master Classes we knew about are the only ones for most of the cast. So Horse Emblem it is I guess :sigh:

Don't train any female characters in Brawl or male characters in both Faith and Reason because none of their Master Classes support that because of the idiotic gender locks.

Most likely so at least on normal/hard, but it just doesn't mesh well with the whole build your army the way you want idea.

Also no dedicated sword using masterclass and armoured class just jumps on a horse.

Though to be fair, I imagine there will be DLC classes.

how does that even work out? Aren’t Edelgard and Byleth’s crests from Rhea and Nemesis, two mortal enemies from the opening cutscene?
