RoyalScion posted:I think one of the weirder things about the 2nd half Gronder battle is I don’t recall Claude saying anything if you murder all his fellow students as BL, but you’re GD when you start killing the BL students Dimitri speaks out for every one you kill, maybe because they were his childhood friends. I remember he does in BL? Or at least he responds to their death quotes, like telling Raphael he'll take care of his little sister.

Mega64 posted:If they replaced Corrin with Byleth then Fates would actually be good. For as much as a fashion disaster Byleth is, at least their outfit, in both versions, has a lot of dorky charm. Corrin just looks weird and out of place compared to everyone else. And was a major downgrade coming off Robin who's outfit is excellent.

I just did Grondor with GD and he also managed a "Hmph..." when I stabbed Mercedes in the neck. I let Dedue live though since I was so impressed with how he tanked three empire units and a monster at once. I even helped take some units out before I shanked Edelgard, I was so proud of him.

I wonder what's the relation between first house played vs people that immediately played another route. For example, my first route was BEagles/Edelgard and I felt like I had to play another route because there were so many open questions (and I was loving the game). But apparently GD answers a lot of questions, and BL feels like a "complete" story even if it doesn't cover everything.

To be fair on the lack of a lord on the church route, do you really need one with Hilda and Catherine? They were overkill on other routes.

Probably gonna do Deer for lunatic when it comes out and I’m holding onto my butt

Do you think it is worth doing a route with minimum/no recruitment? My next run is BE most likely and I’m wondering if I should just stick with the class or something.

Sydin posted:The most I got out of Dimitri was an "Ingrid..." after they were mercilessly iced. Interesting. Ingrid was the only Lions character I had to kill when I did that map on my GD run, so I didn't realize he only scoffed at everyone else's death. Ingrid must've really meant a lot to him to break through even then. jimmydalad posted:Do you think it is worth doing a route with minimum/no recruitment? My next run is BE most likely and I’m wondering if I should just stick with the class or something. Tae posted:It made the post time skip super boring, imo. I think there are good arguments either way. On the one hand, a lot of post-time skip maps are less memorable when there aren't former students among the enemies and they just have generics in their place. On the other hand, having only a third of the people to talk to in the monastery every month does make exploring a lot more boring. Honestly I feel like after you play through at least one of the GD or BL post-timeskip parts with normal and/or minimal student recruitment, there's probably more story to be had by recruiting everyone you can, just to see their reactions to everything in the monastery. That is, unless you recruited a ton on your previous runs, in which case a minimal/no recruitment run could be a change of pace.

For my part, I'm wondering if an iron man run would be any fun in Three Houses. This is not one of the Fire Emblem games that's really conducive to that style of play, I don't think, but I'm curious about how it'd play out. No resets, no divine pulse. I suspect that losing more than a couple good units would make the rest of the game a slog, though, so it might not end up being a fun way to play Three Houses specifically. I guess you could use weekend battles as often as possible to make sure you grind up your reserves so you always have extras? Though if I did an iron man run, I'd want to limit recruitment, too.

I'd say for a low or no recruit run do Blue Lions as they have a huge character pool with the church/other figures to not need students.

Tae posted:To be fair on the lack of a lord on the church route, do you really need one with Hilda and Catherine? They were overkill on other routes. It's not so much a mechanical need as a narrative one, at least in most discussions I've seen. Nobody anchors that route, which puts more weight on Byleth as a character. Weight Byleth isn't the best at carrying. The other three routes are about their lords. The church route is supposed to be about Rhea, but she's not even in the monastery for the back half.

Weight Byleth isn't the best at carrying. Byleth absolutely works best with another main character to play off of, which is probably why I like the Blue Lions route so much. The story places a ton of weight on the relationship between Byleth and Dimitri in that route and it works surprisingly well, or at least it did for me.

They really come together nicely. The part where you finally break through Dimitri's funk and he accepts your hand in the rain and goes "Has your hand always been this warm?" was really sweet.

Yeah, the church route felt weak with no leading lord; there’s just not enough agency when Seteth is driving things.

rannum posted:Shame you can't S Rank Dimitri with M-Byleth. They really come together nicely. Yeah that's entirely bullshit. Like Claude is obviously bi as hell, but like Dimitri's route is just as emotional as El's route and it's why her route is amazing if you're a gay woman, Dimitri should have been that for gay dudes.

You miss so much by not recruiting everyone though. Since ending slides are different depending on which faction you're winning with. And yea it definitely makes the post timeskip stuff really draggy if you've only got a few people.
