This is true but Valkyrie plus her Lorenz’s relic gives her 1-5 range.

I’m thinking Dark Flyer Marianne and Valkyrie Lysithea. Maybe Trickster Ignatz as well since I was planning on making him an Assassin but I’m less sure on that.

Trickster Ignatz sounds pretty good to me. I tend to use him for utility stuff anyway (rallies, break shot, seal strength) and that would get him Foul Play and let him use Physic. That's what I'd try if I hadn't done my GD NG+ maddening run before the DLC came out.

If you're going to post something like that you should at least also post what you're reacting to

There's a line in Yuri and Bernie's support somewhere where he says she was lucky that Yuri got beaten near to death because he was going to kill her. From what I've heard it's more poorly worded by the writers and that makes it sound like abuse apologism, though I don't have the text on me to verify.

They also patched the line in one of her supports where she described her dad's abuse and toned it way down.

Dark Flier has made me realise there's no flying battalions with magical attack. Not a single one. Apparently one was added in the DLC but of course you'll need to clear Constance's paralogue for that. and even then you will have exactly one of them.

I'm guessing it's also B-rank, as seems to be the standard for the post-skip paralogue batallions.

Speaking of, is Byleth the only character who doesn't get her own personal batallion? Every other character unlocks one at the end of their paralogue, and the lords come with one after the timeskip, but Sothis' paralogue just nets you the knowledge gem and a pulse charge.

considering everything else about bernies dad i really doubt they intend him to come across protective, that bit just seems to be more like cruel irony than any attempt at whitewashing him. I mean she still has massive ptsd, theres still the exchange when shes an ally on golden deer where you can promise to double exile her dad after you get rid of edelgard, etc. This one line doesnt suddenly undo all that.

Honestly given everything else we know about the kind of shitstain Count Varley is, if he was protecting anything it was a financial asset. Can’t arrange favorable political marriages if your daughter’s dead.

yeah thats the thing, even if you absolve him in this one situation he still did 50 other bad things

And also he still did it without any attempt to explain to her what happened and she, a small child, still interpreted it as her best friend being violently beaten for knowing her, as shown by her dorothea support. Sooo i dont think the game suddenly thinks hes dad of the year, lol

A lot of this game was developed by Koei Tecmo which does raise the question of what IntSys was working on. The main prediction right now is another remake.

The hot rumor right now is an FE9 remake, due to how much Tellis stuff has been added to heroes recently. That theory doesn't relaly make sense to me though because you'd think they'd wait to add Tellius stuff until after the remake was announced and interest was surging. That said Ike's japanese VA is gonna be at and hosting both of the days of the Fire Emblem expo in may, and incidentally FE9 came out in april/may 2005, so that bit of lining up does make sense. They'll definitely announce something to do with FE9, I feel like.

Or actually I'm not sure, but I definitely want more. The new DLC feels so empty to me, 6 hours of play after 8 months of waiting is kind of a shame.

Which just makes him being there even more confused.

E: As for what I'd want going forward...I don't have strong opinions on remakes, but ultimately I'll be happy if whatever we get going forward continues to expand on the amount of LGBT characters, endings, and content of 3H.

It'd be neat to go back to two FE games in a row in the same world after not doing that since FE10 (not counting remakes), though I wouldn't want it to be a direct Three Houses sequel or anything. Something set in one of the non-Fodlan countries would be cool.

I did love how Birthright swapped around classes for a Japanese aesthetic and I liked that, it'd be great if we had a good game that did that. :v: I would love a Fire Emblem set in the classical era. Gimme hoplites.

I was thinking Dagda since it's heavily mentioned, we have Shamir and also it's weirdly not even on the map.

Means no more manaketes though!

People keep saying that and I can't see it working, the games are just too different in terms of mechanics and changes to unify them in gameplay are going to be really disappointing to fans on both sides. The unit design directions alone are massively different.
