Felix is indeed great. He has especially great dialogue on Crimson Flower.

You know what might have made a little more sence for AM's Grondor battle? Lorenz Have him be the reason the Alliance forces attack you, because he's trying to show Edelgard that they're on the same side and draws the whole army into the 3 way clusterfuck because the Alliance is politically split between pro and anti Imperials leaving Claude to try and salvage the situation by beating back both armies in a desperate gamble before retreating.

Carlosologist posted:Shamir is the best character in supports, please don't @ me I like her just fine, I poached her primarily for shipping purposes and I don't need a third archer, but she's fine. Sydin posted:Poach Felix in your subsequent runs even if you're not planning on fielding him. Like Dorothea, he has some really good dialogue around the monastery on non-BL runs, as well as three distinct character arcs he goes through based on what route he ultimately joins you for. Dorothea hasn't actually impressed me as a character, to be honest. The Blue Lions already cover the 'weary of war and its costs' thing pretty well, I think, and the only point Dorothea's scored in my book is that she's the only one of the students I poached to have had any reaction to me killing her former classmates. Marianne and Bernie sure didn't seem to care. Dorothea's fine, and her spell list means she displaced Annette from my roster (Dorothea and Mercedes have been my gremory gals), but she's not one of my favorites so far.

Edelgard and her minions have battlemechs. Did not see that one coming. Edit: Also, have to mention that I love the post-timeskip music in the monastery. Just hit the A support with Dedue and Shamir. They are adorable. Cythereal fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Dec 31, 2019 |

My God. How many goddamn times does Beleth have to one-shot Hubert with a crit to the face before the jerk finally bites it? I think this is the fourth, maybe even fifth loving time. To his credit, he brought Beleth into the single digits for the first time since chapter 2 I think with Meteor. Then Beleth got into melee with him and that was the end of Dimitri's paralogue.

HenryEx posted:3H has many precious boys but Hubert is probably the bestest. He's so devoted and earnest Every time I've faced him on a map, Beleth happened. She sprints across the map almost as fast as Bernie and Marianne ride their horses, and if she can't reach you in melee that's why she has a silver bow and curved shot. At this point she's pretty much a cruise missile I fire and forget at anything that offends me. Hanneman wasted his time Bolting Flayn and let Felix get into melee. So far of NPCs from the school phase, I think I've killed: Hanneman - blended by Felix Lorenz - stabbed by Beleth Ferdinand - beheaded by Dedue Raphael - meteored by Dorothea Ignatz - gutted by Ingrid Leonie - shot by Ashe Lysithea - bisected by Dedue quote:edit: also by far the best husband for poor Bernie I'm pairing her with Seteth. It's hilarious, adorable, and manages to make Bernie the active pursuer in the relationship in a... very Bernie way. Cythereal fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Jan 1, 2020 |

more datamining about the 4 DLC characters: https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/comments/eiao9b/wave_4_dlc_units_support_list_datamine/ Support list spoilers if you care about that: So it looks like each of the 4 new units will have supports with Byleth, supports each other DLC person, and then supports with some of the existing students. All supports are A. Notably, 3/4 units seem associated with a particular house. Balthus supporting Claude/Hilda/Lysithea, S with female Byleth Constance supporting Edelgard/Ferdie/Mercedes/Jeritza! S with male Byleth Hapi supporting Dimitri/Ashe and Lindhart for some reason? S with male Byleth Yuri supporting Bernie/Dorothea/Ingrid so also kinda BE? S with both Byleths. It's good that there are more gay options. There is nothing to indicate any supports with Anna.

I... what? Yuri's not the BE character? But he's Nuvelle... Like, even if he's part of the church instead he should have more a focus on them.

I wonder if there's any hope of Jeritza getting some more supports with the actors back in studio. Probably too much to hope for, but while Anna is screwed over with no supports, she's a recurring gag character while Jeritza plays a role in the narrative and I want to see his relationship with Edelgard and Hubert to say nothing of how much I want a Manuella support for him.

Just finished The Golden Deer's Plea, on to The Impregnable Fortress.  Nothing about this story has been very original or creative, but it's a good story being told well with a good cast of characters. Edit: Impregnable Fortress done. I think it's interesting how in Azure Moon, one of the most recurring plot beats is that no one has any idea why Edelgard has attacked everyone - the Church and the Kingdom didn't even ally until five years after Edelgard declared war on the Church, Kingdom, and Alliance simultaneously. Dimitri's let go of his hate and anger, he just wants to know why Edelgard's doing this. What does she want besides war and destruction? She talks vaguely about a better future, but what kind of future does she want? Dimitri wants to make peace with Edelgard and the Empire, and he's offered a few times now.

Roderigue is downright competent and generally likeable in Azure Moon, and admits that he deeply regrets what he's said to Felix and how their relationship has turned out. I am disappointed I haven't yet gotten the chance to whack Bernie's dad, and there's only two missions left. Caspar, Linhardt, and the Death Knight are all dead, so Edelgard is running out of bodies to hide behind. Edit: Heading into the second to last battle. Edelgard's motives and vision are social darwinism. How lovely. Edit: Hmmm, this mission's giving me a lot of trouble. Since when can siege weapons do triple digits of damage?!

It's certainly what Dimitri concludes and what it sounded like to me: Edelgard's more or less arguing for libertarianism. Having much better results with the second to last Azure Moon mission by playing cautiously and keeping everyone together on the left side of the map. Flayn is earning her weight in gold for soaking up magic artillery.
