Golden Deer seems to present the most "complete" picture of what the gently caress is going on in the background.

people keep saying you get faire skills for having S rank in a weapon but I got a few S ranks and all I got were crit+10 skills.

Huh. It's kind of baffling then how much the Black Eagle route just isn't concerned with at all, then. No one even seems to find it within themselves to ask "what the hell is that character talking about, anyway?" So, if I were to play some other routes, should I go Lions or Deer first, you think? I'd like some more answers.

From what I've read the "ideal" order to get as much of the story as the game gives you is Lions -> Eagles -> Deer No idea where Church ranks.

Zane posted:this is a historical criticism that readily applies to all routes. except for the charge of fascism: which is historically unintelligible. all the leaders are aristocrats. and their quasi-feudal states are all incapable of orchestrating or managing the fundamental changes to social life that all of them might rhetorically advocate. the more comprehensive analogous historical framing is that the conflict at stake, for all sides, is an ultimately delimited political conflict over the relative centralization vs decentralization, stratification vs. flattening, humanness vs. nonhumanness, of the ruling elite. until the ~1700s and ~1800s the ruling elite were society. and the common people (90% peasants) didn't even enter the picture. If we agree all of them are incapable of enacting sweeping reform that they advocate in their lifetime, or even in the near term, then I think we can readily agree that starting a continent spanning superwar in those interests is a bad idea. Especially when the Crest system is eroding all on its own as is.

Ehh. Well something has to be done about the crest system and as long as the church keeps on going there isn't any real hope for that with the same being said about those who slither in the dark.

Just got to Remire Village and the Flame Emperor shows up and asked me to join him. So naturally I said "Yes!" but because plot railroading that didn't actually happen. Then afterwards Edelgard asks me "Is that what you really want?" and I say yes again, so she says "But how can you trust someone if you don't know who they are?" as the camera zooms in on her face. Yes, miss Future Emperor, miss Crest of Flames, I really have no idea who this Flame Emperor person could be  edit: the next line is "Perhaps someday he will appear before you without his mask and you can look in his eyes and decide what you believe" Radio Free Kobold fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Aug 3, 2019 |

Endorph posted:tbh i wouldnt be surprised if its something where you play as the slitherers, their motivations feel kinda flimsy and underexplored compared to everything else going on in the game, its an obvious area for some expansion Based on how they refer to Sothis I suspect they are basically XCOM.

So the nobility will turn to Those Who Slither for aid in desperation to survive in a political landscape maintained and shaped by the church to ensure their continued dominance. By definition that is not a self solving problem.

When are the B supports for half the cast going to unlock? I'm in December already and Leonie and Bernadetta and Ferdinand and Edelgard are all stuck where I've unlocked it but it always says "it will take more time to deepen this bond." Does playing Black Eagles force me to wait til after the timeskip? e: also, do the special classes for the house leaders and Byleth show up soon?

By definition that is not a self solving problem. They would have done that with or without Crests. That's just entrenched power protecting its own interests. Crests are an excuse, but well...as we see in the real world you don't exactly need Crests to have a landed aristocracy, we're quite predisposed to intergenerational wealth transfer and hoarding all on our own.

I'm in January playing Black Eagles and I've only picked up one Dark Seal for Hubert. Cautious Googling (I've still mostly managed to avoid plot spoilers apart from route structure) seems to suggest there's no way to get another Dark Seal in Part 2 except on routes where Hubert leaves. Has anyone found anything to the contrary?

Every dank seal comes off the dank knight, who shows face a few times. Part one is largely the same between houses, so you can get a few as far as I know. Also; Hubert already has natural dark magic progression, along with Lysithea and Edelgard, so it's not really all that necessary.

What advanced class do you folk use for Byleth? She is currently level 21 and I am not seeing her get any of the requirements for forever, so she might very well be stuck with Merceneray for an indeterminate amount of time.

You ought to have plenty of activity points at this point, so just bump them up. You only need B~ range to have a change to succeed.

As a guy whose only done that route...Rhea drops some hints. Anyway I just finished Edelgard's route and...that was a surprisingly happy ending. Married Edelgard, we wiped out the Slitherers with the help of Alois and the BESF, then we reformed the kingdom, stepped down, and lived happily ever after. I am not looking forward to church route... Should I do Blue Lions or Golden Deer next?

First playthrough completed (Black Eagle/Edelgard). Completion time: 53:35.

Regarding Edelgard, the Blue Lions route makes it pretty clear that she's a patsy since the plans for the war were made long ago by other people and what happened in Duscur was a part of it. That combined with the worldbuilding makes me think they plan to make more Fodlan games/content in the long run.

More Fodlan games would be amazing, but I love the Blue Lions so much that I want their path to be non-canon. Future games need to have a legend of a one-eyed psychopath who ruthlessly murders people who look at him funny.
