Where can I find check the class mastery progress for my units? I've seen it in battle but I can't find it elsewhere. I'm at the "decide what to do for the day" screen.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

Flayn's actually pretty funny in her supports. She loves fish, shouting, and constantly hinting at her true identity.

you can view your currently equipped class if you choose to open the certification menu or the reclass menu, it's at the very top of the list
you'd think it'd be on the status page proper, but no

What route engages with flayn/seteth/rhea the most? I just finished blue lions and got nothing but teases, which is all I expected from that storyline. I assume both the BE routes?

I'm wondering if there's a JPN VA no commentary LP of this game other than the one w/Black Hawks route? I don't own a switch but I'm interested but so far every LP is ENG only :sigh:

So speaking of paired endings it's kind of poo poo for Lysithea. It sucks that you have to pair Lysithea up with specific people otherwise she dies early. >:| Her sad endings are touching but like, real dick move not helping her unless you marry her Lindhardt. At least her and Hanneman isn't romantic. Her endings with Felix and Ignatz are super touching but I don't want my girl to die young when it's preventable.

super late but for her S rank/paired ending with byleth it gets fixed? somehow? like she tells byleth she can feel that she no longer has either of her crests as a result of his efforts (which i, the player, was not privy to) in the S rank support convo, and then their ending says she got to live a long life with him

My Blyeth might not ever grind sword up enough to pass the Swordmaster certification. I’m on month 12 and she is level 26. Everyone else is advancing to the level 20 classes but she is stuck on a 31% chance and failure for months.

there's, uh, reasons you probably won't ever have to worry about the swordmaster certification for byleth

I need advice:

I'm on my first playthrough of the game, Black Eagles. I'm coming up to The Choice.

When I was playing on my own, I decided that I would side with Edelgard without hesitation. I like her, and the idea of going against the church sounded really cool.

But then I'm seeing people say that the Church route is canon or whatever, and that I should play Edelgard last, if I do it at all. So now I'm at a crossroads. Should I just side with her since that was my first choice?

If I reload a save, how long will the second half of the game take? I'm not crazy about redoing support conversations on the other routes.

There is no canon route, all routes have a viewpoint and reveal different things of the events leading up to what happens after time skip.

If you feel like getting bored with the game, pace yourself. There will be DLC and updates released every few months until April next year so play a route now and play more later when new stuff is published.

there's no wrong choice

I went that route for the same reason you posted, and I definitely don't regret it (it did make me even more curious about the other routes tho, and I'm definitely playing through more)

Some big YouTube dude did a playthrough where he picked what you've read is the "canon" route and he was harassed for it, oh no you did the wrong thing, so just chill, there is no perfect golden ending to find.

yeah you're probably right. I get that you can't see everything in one playthrough.

How have you guys enjoyed new game plus? Does it feel like a slog doing all of the supports and monastery stuff over again, or is it a lot quicker the second or third time around?

My impression is that on the Edelgard route, Lysthea loses both her crests due to plot reasons. Is this the route you took?

Could at least flip one or two, maybe.
I do wish the levels were a lot better in this. They're not full on bad, but a lot of them are unfortunately rather generic. The paralouges are all universally good in some fashion, but if the map doesn't have some actual non-rout/commander objective to it it tends to be an exercise in baiting the enemy pod with your sturdy unit, mercing it, continuing on. The biggest difficult spikes are when fliers come in simply because they can just appear anywhere and hit like trucks. Generic battles are, of course, super generic too as a result.

Coming off conquest's whacky bullshit, I do wish there were a few maps with more going on. Heck, Hilda's paralouge was simple but effective.

I mean it’s as long as you make it

The quests are the same all month so you don’t have to do all of them the same day (some of them take time up anyway)

You could beeline for the lunchroom and eat 6 meals and do the one red quest at the end of the month

Right now where I am I have like... 3 quests that require me to devote a battle day too

Nope Golden Deer; I guess it builds on their A support but I’m still left out of the loop as to particulars as to how Byleth helps her get rid of her crests

I’m just now realizing that there's essentially no reason to go Holy Knight over Dark Knight if you have the option. The Tomefaires only affect offensive spells, and every character's Reason spell list is better than their Faith one.
