does Marianne ever become likable? I'm on chapter six, seen around 10-12 supports, and she's like if you took all the endearing qualities away from Bernie. Debbie Downer on a hundred thousand trillion


also I'll never like Seteth because he's with the Church and even though I'm fighting Ultimo Emperor Edelgard this run it's just to protect as many of my wonderful students as I can, I still hate him and Rhea. and Catherine for that matter. Flayn is aiight

Marianne is a lot better post timeskip when she opens up a bit and you find out all the hosed up reasons she's the way she is.

There's a couple characters I won't kill on any route just because their backstory is tragic enough that it feels mean to murder them after all that.

Lysithea, Dorothea, Bernadetta, Raphael, Marianne, Ashe and Petra are all on my 'must poach' list. Everyone else I can mostly live with them dying on other routes.

I'm impressed by the way that Marianne manages to communicate "I have made huge amounts of progress as a person and am no longer on the verge of self-destruction" through her hair alone.

Fully configurable personal assistant.
I wouldn't mind a game mode that made stat growths non-random like in FE Warriors. In Warriors it was predetermined what stats each character would gain on a level.

Actually I have a better idea: have the game roll all of the stat growths when the game starts. The growths will be re-rolled for each character until the totals at an end-game level have reached a certain threshold. This will make the development of your character unique to the game while still having some expectation that they aren't underpowered by the time they reach the end game.

This could be made an option like difficulty level and permadeath.

It seems like a shame that random chance can ruin your ability to use a character, especially if its Byleth or the lord. I guess that is part of the experience for many people, but this game in particular is one where I valued using my students above all else and I was fortunate enough to have good enough growths all around.

dimitri looks so much hotter post-timeskip (like seriously, i don't think anyone liked him until we all saw him at E3 2019), but holy gently caress if the eyepatch and the grizzlied hair don't get across how badly he's been consumed by his demons after five years

Is there any reason not to just spread Pegasus dung on your plants every time when you’ve unlocked it?

If, say, just pruning for 500 gives three wheat predicted cultivation, would using 2k Pegasus be just throwing away 1500, or are there plants that you can only get with Pegasus or anything like that?

Basically how do I garden at the start of ng+ with Max prof level but relatively low budget.

your budget should increase pretty drastically after the first month with getting to do three auxiliary battles and the church 5k

No, he leaves. But it feels good and in-story probably makes things easier on Edel given how Claude turns over authority to her if spared, not that that comes up. .

I rushed a really underleveled Lorenz at Claude to get him one shot after hearing their dialogue, but Lorenz actually refuses to be killed and gets 5 health back. I thought that was pretty neat.

Grappler mastery gives Tomebreaker which sucks, Warrior has "If foe initiates combat while unit’s HP is ≤ 50%, grants Crit +50" which rules

I just got a dark seal for Hubert. Should make him a dark mage now or just wait and make him a dark bishop? I just finished the mission where you save Flayn. I don't remember, am I gonna get another chance at fighting the Death Knight again? I'm doing BE Edelgard Route.

BE you get three shots at a Dark Seal. Make him a mage (Fiendish Blow too good to pass up), then once you get to level 20 switch to Dark Mage then immediately to Dark Bishop because the DB skill also rules

also you need to be a DarkMage to unlock DarkBishop, so you NEED two seals to get Bishop. You can get the second seal at the uhhhhhhh village map with Tomas

I think that's sort of in line with people in the BE route saying "oh Dimitri? he's crazy" but you only see two lines of dialogue from him in the whole route, one of which is getting mad at Dedue for sacrificing their own soldiers, so he's obviously not that unhinged. If anything, he seems even less unhinged than in the actual Blue Lions route

Do the exam for Dark Mage as soon as you can after going into Mage, even though you don’t need to actually use the class. You can't do two certifications at once, so if you don’t unlock Dark Mage until 20, you might delay your Dark Bishop certification.

There's a contingent of people who played the edelgard route and think they've got everything figured out from just that
