RazzleDazzleHour posted:What the hell are you talking about? Rhea has a literal army of people willing to die for her and do menial chores and anything else she asks. Ask literally anyone who grew up on a farm at around what age they started helping with animals and crops and doing basically the same sort of stuff Cyril does. ...ok? That doesn't change that Cyril is just used as free labor because he idolizes Rhea and isn't being taught a lot of things that are very common in Fodlan, like basic literacy. There's a reason people treat it as a weird thing and not the norm, and a reason like half his C supports are people looking askance and asking him if he needs help as he cheerfully describes an absolutely crushing workload.

I mean Christians don't exactly go around talking about their god's name in casual conversation.

Regarding the goddess it really sucks that Sothis never speaks in the story after you merge because I really want to know how she'd react to all of this bullshit

I can report that you gain experience way, way slower on Maddening difficulty. It seems like it's tuned to negate the statue EXP bonuses and then some; I have +20% right now, and as of the end of Chapter 4, I’m a few levels behind where I was on my Hard run, despite the fact that most maps have a few more enemies. You also get 4 less skill experience from weekly studies (+20 instead of +24 for neutral goals), and I think the gains from group tasks and choir practice are slightly reduced as well.

It's probably the most suggestive one, (she's basically propositioning him) but like other shounen protagonists before him, he is denser than lead. i thought this was an exaggeration but nope, she's just like "hey wanna come up to my room" and he's just like "uh, what?"

I was off the Rhea train when I read the tenants of The Church of Seiros in the library. Tenant #5: Never question the teachings of Seiros. Then Rhea started going all (real early spoilers)Queen of Hearts on everybody who pisses her off.

Sydin posted:His supports with Flayn are also great because he waxes poetic to her about how beautiful Saint Cethleann was and how he wants to know as much about her as he can to paint the perfect likeness, without realizing he's literally talking to said saint, and Flayn is equal parts amused and flattered to the point that she actually drops some of the secrets she's not supposed to divulge.

This seems like a good thing. I'm kind of annoyed that NG+ makes things so much less challenging even when you don't opt to spend renown (battalions, statues etc) and I'd feel weird not picking NG+ anyway. Sounds like it'll be nice having a mode tuned around having those perks available.

Seteth/Hilda was almost cool but they barely talk about themselves at all, so it barely even feels like theres a connection between the two. Setheth/Manuella was better but I think I'm also gonna try Ingrid just to see how it is because their C rank was promising for reference for people who think Seteth/Hilda sounds like a weird/creepy pairing: they basically just make children's story books together RazzleDazzleHour fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Aug 19, 2019 |

Jerry Manderbilt posted:zoran tell us all how you hacked the game to access maddening difficulty There's a save editor already out for the game, so you just need to use homebrew to export your save, change the difficulty setting, and re-import it. Maddening is already fully functional and probably won’t be very different at all when it's officially released; it bumps up enemy stats, adds a few more enemies, sometimes changes up enemy formations to make them more challenging, and adds skills to certain enemy types. Archers all have Poison Strike and Thieves all have Pass, for example. There's an even higher difficulty level, Infernal, that is unplayable because all the enemies have enormous stats (50+), and I think some of the maps won’t even load.

I hit Jeralt's death again on Blue Lions and I love the dichotomy between Edelgard & Dimitri's little pep talk in the captain's quarters Edelgard is really aggressive in getting over Jeralt's death already, and to move on because we cant have a teacher moping around forever even though it's only been a few days since we saw him die Dimitri, meanwhile, is willing to cover for us and give us the time & space we need because just pushing forward without grieving isn't the way to do things, and how it will eventually pass and so on. I was worried all of them would be like Edel and I'm just going "wow, rude" but no its character insights, game good Zore posted:Byleth doesn't understand the concept of religion when they first come to the monestary. and also his death is fairly important in several ways but also let me save my dad and bond with my dad!!

Quick question about the Event Viewer you unlock after you beat the game once because it's not documented anywhere yet: It doesn't record your actual Goddess Tower meeting right? Like the game itself has a lot of permutations for events but it seems to only use a default when you use this feature for certain cutscenes, including the one at the tower cutting off right before you'd actually meet a person. Also it just defaults to the Three House Leaders if you replay the Dancing competition cut-scene, so I guess grab a screen if you remember it being a memorable trio that was being judged.

rannum posted:he's a bad dad in many ways and it was so obvious what was going to happen to him but also dang i care about him & byleth's relationship Byleth's relationship with Jeralt (and actually with Sothis too) is the only part of their character that really lands for me. Especially after the fact when you get Alois supports and learn just what an odd guy he was. They're two weird impersonal people who have a weird impersonal relationship but Byleth definitely learned how to fish from Dad and it actually feels kinda sweet.

Though, NG+ will let you reapply classes to students who already earned them if you spend the renown right? I guess that means eventually, you could have a whole team of dancing lads and ladies if you wanted...

this series has always been pretty stringent about only letting you have one dancer at a time except for feh where you can have three dancers and one actual combat unit, and the dancers just won't be able to refresh each other

I really doubt they'll ever let you have more than one Dancer at a time. It would completely break the game and is something they've never let you have in any previous game. Even in games that featured multiple dancers they always had plot reasons you could only field one at once.
