Man I wish we had some kind of idea what the story DLC would be. An entire new route? additional stuff for the ones we have?

You find out Jeralt's deal mostly through Alois and Rhea's supports with Rhea being exclusive to BE:Church.

The Alois stuff is especially just some throw away comments he makes in B rank but is really interesting.

Basically Rhea gave Jeralt a dragon blood transfusion over a hundred years ago to save his life and it slowed/stopped his aging. He got real weird about personal relationships after that since everyone else grew older while he stayed the same age etc and its what started him feeling weird about Rhea which was exasperated by her then making a hosed up golem to try to reincarnate her mother (this was Byleth's mother).

I have just learned that Restore can cure Rattled status. Wow. And here I was thinking Restore was mostly useless in this game. Poison is really rare and the other status effects might as well not exist.

drat it, because Lindhardt and Petra had an A+ support it took priority over Dorothea so those two ended up together and Dorothea ended up alone. Boo! I’m gonna marry her as female Byleth next game. Maybe.

That's not really how it works since you can gain supports points after A rank.

You likely just stopped having Petra and Dorothea fight together after you reached A so Linhardt passed her

I literally had Petra and Dorothea fighting together almost every turn for the final two battles. They stopped gaining support points with each other which makes me think there must be a maximum? In which case for some reason Lindhardt took priority.

Oh you probably got both of them to the internal maximum of 1000 support. If you have multiple units with the same value it just picks the person who is the first one on he support list.

The only way to actually guarantee the pairings you want is to deliberately not activate the last supports of the pairs you don't want so they can't gain support. You can activate them before he last battle since they don't have time to ruin your supports in such a short time.

Otherwise your risk maxing the supports out and the game picking the pairs with the dumb list priority.

If the Blue Lions are the otome house with Anette as the protagonist, Ingrid is the rival, so it only makes sense. :v:

Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking. I’ll know better for next time!

Also how come female Byleth can get S support with Edelgard but male Byleth can’t get S support with Dimitri or Claude?

I hope the DLC story content is Edelgard & co defeating Those who Slither in the Dark after conquering Fódland. I honestly think that if they had one more chapter in Alliance territory and maybe one more in Fahrgus, with two or three chapters of Edelgard vs her Uncle after defeating Rhea, the BE-E route would’ve been nearly perfect.

You can activate them before the final battles too since it's really unlikely you will go over your preferred pairing with anyone in just 1-2 battles

Edelgard vs The SlithersIs such a boring Scouring of the Shire set of maps I can't imagine why anyone would want them beyond being unable to think of how else to give Edelgard chapters.

Regardless the DLC isn't going to be that as they said the DLC would not be story DLC 'concluding' anything, each route was designed to conclude as it stood.

The only DLC I want is something that would fix BE-E's pacing (not even adding more chapters, just make the dialog feel less frantic) and maybe add the missing CG's to it, but there's no way that's happening since it'd require rewriting a lot of it and record more lines.

Yeah this, if I had stopped playing this game after first going with Golden Deer I would have been satisfied I think. The only thing in GD I wish had been different was Dimitri, him fighting us at the second Gronder Fields was bad and him dying offscreen was terrible. There were so many other ways he could have resolved. Even killing him myself would have felt like a better ending for him. As it is there's no reason for him to oppose the Alliance and no reason for him to die like that.

Also Claude's endings are weird he just fucks off I guess? Thought you were my best friend bro but w/e

Second Gronder was so frustrating and even more so that the game forces you to actually eliminate both sides. I spent that entire match only focused on Black Eagles hoping it owuld just resolve once i took em all out but NOPE. All of the Blue Lions I liked just got sent into my buzzsaw for no reason.

It may be because I played BE-E's route first and then BL, but the Golden Deer's route was kind of a letdown for me. It answers a lot of questions and the characters are very fun, but they lack the personal connection to the plot that the other two routes have. BL's has entire supports connected to their route's plot.
