There's lots of good lines but one I liked a lot was on Blue Lions where you are going back and forth across the continent and she's just very bluntly going "you guys are really stupid going this deep then turning around" stood in nice contrast to the other knights who were anxious but willing to go along with it since it's helping others, something they'd need to do anyway or would lead back to rhea

Asking for a friend because I honestly can’t remember, but re: Dedue’s paralogue and it’s post timeskip impact: do you have to do well by a certain amount or just do it period to get Dedue to survive? The internet is being no help. I’m pretty sure I only got a large bullion and still kept him but it’s been over a month now so I can’t really remember.

I've never really used her, what's wrong with Catherine?ChrisBTY posted:On the other Sylvain acts like he has absolutely nothing going on for him otherwise and that there's no way any of these girls see him as anything but a meal ticket. Which is bullshit I mean, even if it's not true, it's totally possible for him to see it that way if that's how he's been treated by everyone his entire life?

Yinlock posted:it's easy to forget she's a church executioner until she starts talking at length Shamir's basically doing quid pro. Rhea did her a favor, so she's helping Rhea until things feel even. She's still using her own judgement. Catherine? "Well, if Rhea said to eat a baby, I guess babies are delicious now. Like ham." Worse, she's unwilling to give her life for Rhea. She'd just give everyone else's lives.

She's worse than actively evil, she's totally apathetic about anything other than "does Rhea want this" Keep in mind that Dedue also said this in regards to Dimitri, that if Dimitri ordered him to murder women and children he would. The difference is that Dedue feels actually indebted to Dimitri for saving his life. Catherine is the same (Rhea saved her life and took her in when she was framed for killing the king) but we get to see Dimitri's reaction to Dedue going to extreme lengths for him Dedue took crest stones to transform himself and other troops into monsters to defend Dimitri, who was against it from the very beginning. and he'd never ask Dedue to do something like that. With Rhea... yeah she could probably ask Catherine to do something like that.

Yeah, Catherine is awful and only gets worse the more you learn about her though she's hardly unique. Mercedes is basically in the same boat just with an added tragic backstory and more attachment to the institution than Rhea personally.

4 playthroughs. 256 hours. Holy poo poo I can't remember the last time I have been fixated on a game like this. I was angling for playthrough #5 but the last battle in BE-C dampened my enthusiasm a little. That fight was a drat slog.

That's true. And the nearest previous save was apparently before I did a couple hours of fishing and scouring the monastery so that's a non-starter. Let's just file that away as a lesson learned. If I do decide to poach Ingrid it'll be because I want to save the lives of as many of these darn kids as I can.

I tend to have a reading if Sylvain as self-loathing to major degree. Whether it’s due to closet or his upbringing generally shifty I’m not sure. I tend to lean towards the latter considering how Miklan wants to kill him and how he was basically thrust into a position of responsibility purely because of his crest. All the fake adoration he receives from girls wanting his “crest baby” really doesn’t help things either. In any case, it’s almost like his self-loathing causes him to be a callous rear end in a top hat because he’s probably in the mindset of “I’m an rear end in a top hat so I might as well live up to that expectation.” I did not like Sylvain at all when I first picked him up but he’s become one of my favourite characters in the game. I find him endlessly fascinating and I’m sad I can’t seem to make him a good unit. Probably cause I go cav with him.

Also a good way to sum up the main difference between Dedue and Catherine is: Dedue's willingness to follow what Dimitri says doesn't stem from a lack of morality but an oath of loyalty. He's indebted to Dimitri for saving his life and devalues his own life as a result. Dimitri is against this for obvious reasons. Catherine came to just stop thinking for herself because she discovered Christophe's plot to assassinate Rhea, and was emotionally conflicted in deciding what to do. So rather than make a choice (Turn in her friend for his obvious crime, or ignore it because of friendship) she chose to turn over the decisions like that to the Goddess and in turn, become a 'weapon'. Her examples to Caspar of "Okay but what if" were also... quite stupid "What if two groups of children were fighitng and killing each other for revenge of their families, what would you do, who would you kill?"

I usually make Sylvain a Dark Knight, but send him through brigand then magic classes whilst training riding in lessons, he's still surprisingly tanky in those. Plus the spiky edgy armour looks great. My current run is 'everyone who can be a brigand is now a brigand'.

My point is his stated reason for wanting that is basically not sympathetic to me at all. Him being Gay and too deep in the closet would work, though.

Really weird how characters without supports can have shared Paralogues. I just got one for Lindhart and Leonie and thought they actually had very entertaining chemistry - such a shame that interaction is limited to a minute or two of dialogue

Rhea S rank I got it for completion's sake because I didn't want to do the church route again but out of all the S ranks I've gotten that one was the worst. It felt completely out of left field as well cause Rhea's gone for the entire 2nd half of the game, plus Byleth's whole deal of being her experiment to revive her dead mother... it really should have been a purely platonic one, it just came off so loving weird.

I decided if I was gonna go trash route I was gonna trash route all the way. Also I kept a save back before the choice so I could marry Leonie and erase it from canon. But I dun' know if I wanna do that last fight again. Also: Friends help! I have beaten all 4 paths of 3H and now I don't know what to do with the rest of my life.
