"Doing something about the creepy dark magic science terrorists" is that thing that Edelgard always swears she'll do next Friday but never does.

Blue Lions and Golden Deer spoilers- At first I thought it was weird that Claude just peaced out and left the Alliance to Dimitri but now that I know how his route goes I'm wondering if he didn't ally with Dimitri because he was busy looking into the history of the church/Those Who Slither in the Dark on his own. I'm just going to assume he went to take down the Slitherers after Dimitri finished the war, because he barely did anything onscreen in that route.

Should I even worry too much about monster fights? I have about half a million paralogues do. Do you even get anything worthwhile from monster battles? Also this first one seems scary as it asks for level 20 and all my people (save Byleth/Dimitri) are around 15.

Sometimes you get rusted weapons that can forge into strong weapons but you might as well finish the paralogues first. They're time limited but new monster fights will appear eventually.

I didn't do a single optional battle that wasn't a paralogue or related to a quest and I did fine. There was a big difficulty spike at the halfway point and again at the end but it was fun levels of difficulty

Do you even get anything worthwhile from monster battles? the big thing is you get rusted weapons that can be turned into Silver or Legendary weapons but Legendary weapon repairs cost a lot, require A+ professor level and you need really rare mosnter materials, and a lot of them. Feels like you really have to dedicate yourself to them to use any of tehse things.

Good to know. My takeaway - gently caress monster fights unless you literally have nothing else to do.

I still really enjoyed the Edelgard route but i wish they at least addressed Those Who Slither a bit more than "gg Byleth ur the best i <3 you btw we'll deal with that creepy magic cabal later .

Uhhhh, Edelgard stuff She absolutely goes after the Slithers, that's why she goes to the one city, to kill Cornelia. I mean, I'll still absolutely agree that the finishing blow getting dumped in an ending slide is garbage and all though and it should have done been in the four missing chapters.

Edelgard route: Yeah she goes after them briefly but we really should have at least killed Evil Uncle Arundel and some of the slitherers on screen- it's not all that satisfying to have most of that done offscreen, only mentioned in the epilogue. Even if they wanted it to be shorter than the others it could have done with a bit more.

I swear if the story DLC ends up being a few more chapters for Edelgard's route where you finish off Those Who Slither In The Dark it'll be the dumbest poo poo, especially because that's already a route in the game. That said, that part not being in Edelgard's route is a really glaring omission and makes the whole thing feel really abrupt and weird. It's very strange that the whole ending slide thing for the Edelgard route is just "and then they did the thing you do in the Golden Deer route." That said, I think I'd prefer that over a hypothetical Revelations-style "unite everyone" route if I had to choose, but both would be pretty bad. What I'm really hoping for is something like the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC, a totally separate story that takes place in a different time, years earlier maybe. If they could somehow make a DLC that comes after the story and somehow works after every route that'd be cool, too, but that seems... difficult.

Bows are stupid good this time around, too. Balance-wise, easy availability of Close Counter, Bowrange, and Canto really shifted things a lot in favor of bows and mounted units. I'm not actually sure how I feel about it, but bows clearly did need a bit of a boost. Every mounted unit having Canto by default I'm a little bit more iffy about because it's a huge advantage. Though I guess in a game with Lysithea + Thyrsus, "you can move again after attacking" isn't the craziest advantage.

i've forgotten if in the tellius games, mounted units could equip a different weapon after attacking since that's not the case anymore and it's caught me off guard once or twice

I'm not sure what to train Marianne in. My plan is to have her heal, so obviously reason, but I'm not sure about the other skills. I'm planning to have a my dancer be a back up healer, and I'm using Lorenz and Lysithea as offensive magic users. Any suggestions? She's still on the default Lance + Faith skill combo.

I went Lance, Faith, and Riding so she could be a Holy Knight. She gets good Faith attack magic, too, so she can be a pretty powerful and mobile healer/caster. Alternatively, just keep her as a Bishop or train both Faith and Reason so she can be a Gremory and have double the white magic casts per map.

i had marianne take the holy knight path so she's got a C in lances and a B/A in riding in addition to hitting A+ in faith naturally, but only being able to physic 5 times per map as a holy knight sucks and i wish i'd had her focus on black magic so she could go gremory post-timeskip, instead of riding

General dumb post-Chapter 9ish question: Does Byleth bleed, given that they don't have a heartbeat? Hanneman mentions using their blood for research so I assume they have that, but the image of them getting poked full of holes and walking it off is really funny. Probably hard to hide as a mercenary, so maybe that's why Hanneman's support mentions their fellow mercenaries finding them scary as gently caress

What did people do with Lorenz? He got RNG-screwed in my run so I ended up benching him, but he seems sort of confusingly positioned as either a mounted knight-type unit or a caster. I guess you could go Dark Knight?tudabee posted:General dumb post-Chapter 9ish question: Does Byleth bleed, given that they don't have a heartbeat?

Their heart is totally still but blood still flows as if it was beating.

Her reason-based spell list kinda sucks, but if you get swords to C you can just toss her a levin sword. A forged one has a 1-3 range and she has a good magic growth. Lorenz will probably end up disappointing for you, he usually seems to.

Lorenz ended up as a Dark Knight for me. His stats are very middle of the road in a House full of specialized units, and about the only worthwhile thing he had for me was good Res gains so he was able to tank Mages (and even then Hilda and Raphael had enough HP that they could also tank Mages too)

Like, how is the person who tortured Edelgard not her final boss I have barely gotten to protecting flame emperor scene, but from dialogues from students/teachers/etc, it seems that Rhea basically has been ruling the Empire, Kingdom and Golden Allience since before they existed, to the point that she has chosen their territories so that they have the school right at the border of the three. From other people talking, it seems that she has gone on purge whenever people's tech went too high, and she is behind the whole 'crest are needed for nobility' thing in order to create stagnation and human suffering. She REALLY didn't take well Sothis' murder
