Hunt11 posted:Lysithea just tells you flat out the moment that the BE path has started as there is no reason to hide it as you already got a lot of that information from Edelgard. yeah i figure their A support wouldn't be plot-gated in the BE route like it is for GD, but then i'm still wondering if the actual content of the conversation is the same

Voice-acted too, surprisingly. There's a ton of lines in this game I'm sure 99% of players will never see. I'm on chapter 7 or so and I suddenly was able to recruit Hanneman and Manuela on my team without ever really interacting with them too much, which was really weird. Maybe they're based on level? Because I didn't even have support level C with either of them and no skills that were B on Byleth besides maybe Swords and Authority

 I'm kind of annoyed with the game because on BE, nobody ever requested to join my house, even if I got them to B support. This time, I set Lysithea to B so that I could grab her for Hard, but since I switched back to normal, I didn't pick her up. But she asked me to let her join, and how am I supposed to say no to one of my precious students?? And once you have Lysithea you kind of need Lorenz, because his paralogue is a solo. I was planning on getting Hilda/Leonie later, but again, they asked me, and I didn't have the heart to make them sad. on a different note: Felix/Annette C Support posted: DLC Inc posted:it's kind of crazy that I thought Fates was a batshit endeavor but 3 Houses has so many permutations for supports + recruiting between houses + fully voiced interactions for everyone with really great writing and different routes/plot points for each house, it's really amazing. It's probably the most replayable FE game in the series history now.

No point dragging Manuela and Hanneman and co into another 0 sally 0 victory ending so my roster is ~16 people. Only professor I need is Shamir, who's currently trying to convince me that I should've turned Raphael into an assassin.

They are both different enough from 3 Houses to warrant a playthrough. 3H is really a huge departure in so many ways so imo Awakening would be a great way to continue onward in the series since it's not ballbreakingly hard and is a great mix of old classic FE qualities plus new and fun things.

Yeah the GBA games are quite fun and I love the sprites. Also old school wyverns are much cooler looking than modern ones. Awakening is also fun, if heteronormative as hell.

my first fire emblem game was radiant dawn and so it was a trip for me to play other fire emblem games after that and realize that they generally weren't divided into multiple parts or have the wonky availability that entailed, or generally didn't have third-tier classes, and whatnot. it was a really weird game to start with even if i loved it

It's probably the most replayable FE game in the series history now. I never played a romance of the three kingdom game but based on three houses I have to assume koei tecmo is just better equipped & experienced to handle sprawling games like this, even with the clear corners that had to be cut throughout the game and its systems. whereas fates tells me that intsys was not equipped to handle that. I'm assuming at least the core concept of Three Houses was established by IntSys so if they hadn't gotten KT to pick up the slack I wonder how they would have learned from Fates and what the final product would be like.

Yeah 9 and 10 are still my favorites, but that doesn’t change the fact that this game is still insanely good. (I know RD is very love it or hate it here, but it has some of my favorite map ideas in the series and I just love the Tellius characters so much ok.)

It'd be hard to beat the Radiant Dawn defend chapters for me. Especially the ones playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wg5o3JNcrQ, that's pretty peak FE. Wish that game had the huge amount of support conversations and character development that Three Houses does. Fire Emblem does feel a lot nicer with a smaller roster.

Your mileage may vary on whether they were done well or not, but I particularly love two FE10 maps: the flyers only battle in the sky that starts Part 2 and the map in early Part 3 where you have to burn all the supplies in an enemy camp (and free their penned horses for bonus exp). They’re just really cool concepts that haven’t been done again. (Partly in the first case because you have to control the player’s choice of units deployed as strictly as RD often does to make it happen.) But yeah, the support system definitely sucks, even if I’m fine with the limited paired endings (and even though Laura/Aran and Tibarn/Reyson were cheated out of paired endings).

Yeah trying to reply Awakening is a bit overwhelming because of how many characters there are. Also it's much more lethal from the start than 3H.

I'm enjoying the intrigue of the Support Plots of the story so far. The characters are well written, and the dynamics between their families is fascinating. The A plot I am not enjoying as much, mostly because having teleporting villains allows for sloppy writing.

Does maintaining a combo and/or getting a perfect while fishing do anything significant? The only thing I can tell excellents do is not deplete Byleth's stamina.

Felix has an awesome strength growth so if he’s hitting that it can offset the weight. his defenses are paper so having the Aegis/Pavise effect is helpful

No, Claude's relic is Failnaught. Anyone can use the sword without a damage penalty, and they still regen HP every turn, its just like 1-2 less HP per turn.

Finished GD after doing BE and BL, definitely feels like the most complete route out of them. Really sucks that a lot of the paralogues are locked to certain character pairings though, since I decided to avoid recruiting everybody in this run; really makes the second half kind of bare, which is mostly my main complaint about the game. I recruited everybody in BE Edelgard (which was a poor decision since some paralogues are locked out of that route). I'm too picky to not do everything in the monastery each run even though I've already done it so many times  .
