Neo_Crimson posted:It also helps that Edelgard was the first house leader revealed, and the intro does focus on her a bit more than the other two. She literally narrated the first trailer, she's routinely the first one shown among the three, last year's e3 even primarily used her class as exampel of the school systems, the theme song is probably meant to be from her (at the very least, the single's cover art focuses on her specifically) and of course she's so special her route is actually TWO routes! They definitely prop her up as the "main" house also she's an axe lord and axe lords are very cool

rannum posted:*byleth stands alone in every scene because his entire class is dead* People should practice the advanced strategy of recruiting people and then sending them off on kamikaze attacks to get killed. Maybe later in the people start to realize that when Byleth tries to recruit you you should say no.

I got Hilda up to B rank support as Black Eagles and it's February and I STILL can't give her the lost items. Maybe it's female Byleth only or something? I just can't work it out

The second part of the game wouldn't be nearly as powerful as it is without the school part. Yikes.

Dorothea is def the most gay...or I guess bi of the main cast, not sure if the cast members with implied gay endings also have straight ones.

gently caress I could have gotten Dimitri an ending with his best dude? I missed that opportunity. But it seems like the game just picked them for me I didn't get a prompt to pick who ended up with who so it just seemed kind of random, or based on some support value I can't see. Also why can Dorothea get with Manuela but I can't.

Harrow posted:Eh, even on Hard, the master abilities usually aren't anything too special until advanced classes. There's are a handful of intermediate classes with good ones, though (like Mage). Regarding this whole topic, can't you also always change back to an earlier class if you really wanted to go back and master it? Like, either you're playing on Hard and are limited in your battles/xp (in which case you'd want to optimize your time in stronger classes and get the better abilities sooner) or you aren't limited and can always go back and master a class later.

All right I'm finished up Blue Lions Chapter 17 just now and can someone clarify for me what exactly Claude was trying to pull by NOT just teaming up with us to kill Edelgard? I had to murder all the Yellow Deer except for like him and Hilda and that felt bad!

It's in fact extremely cool that some characters can have relationships with characters that Byleth can't. There should be more of them like that imo.

Fair, but she actively flirts with and shows interest in Byleth regardless of gender so it's a little disappointing that she's not one of the wlw options.

Same but with Dorothea, she's good at being a dancer but she's even better at being a killing machine so I ended up not using dancer. Clearly I need to make a trash unit the dancer so they won't be needed to do anything else.

Yeah, it'd be more interesting if Byleth couldn't date her regardless of gender. But the game still has some sorta dating sim elements from Fates and Awakening tacked on so Byleth can date any character of the opposite sex (except Alois and Gilbert) and it's a bit lame.

The fact that part of me wants to romance Manuela is a testament to the good writing of this game that would normally have me just casually discard her. There’s just something about her I really like and I don’t know what it is.

Dating a character has been in basically every fire emblem game that has had support conversations aka every single game that's come out in english, seems weird to complain about it here

I haven’t felt this invested in a game for sometime. If I wasn’t so set on romancing Claude, I’d definitely be up for romancing Dorothea and Mercedes. Especially Dorothea. Man, a lot of great students are in Black Eagles. Dorothea, Petra, Bernadetta.

Recruiting everyone I can because then no one I like has to die! I felt bad when I had to kill some of the students in the plot. I tried to avoid killing them if I could but I couldn't always and it felt awful. Poor Bernie. Hell even Ferdinand, I didn't particularly care for him but I didn't want to have to kill him. Then after that chapter Dorothea's down because we killed Ferdie.
