Blaze Dragon posted:None and if anything, there's enough evidence to suggest he doesn't. His issues come entirely by the fact that he sees his Crest as the only part of him anyone else could be interested in, making it more than clear that he does not want to pass it along. Risking the birth of a bastard is something I can't ever see Sylvain doing. he does have an advice box letter saying ingrid keeps complaining about him bringing girls back to his room at night, iirc.

CF is the only route where it doesn't punish you to immediately ignore your students for others.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:Also the church people seem to have more dud supports than your average student. Like, I love Shamir, but her supports spend a lot of time establishing that she's a mercenary from Dagda who's all business all the time and also not particularly devoted to the church, instead of actually exploring her character or letting her bounce off others. Her best supports are with Dedue because they just fully lean into that element of both characters. But yeah besides a bit of history you learn in her Byleth supports, you don't really get a sense of her motivations besides "be a mercenary". I did her S support on Blue Lions route and was a bit disappointed that (BL ending spoiler) you end up becoming the archbishop and settling in with the church, and she decides to stay there with you. I was hoping that with her history, and with Byleth feeling kinda like an outsider in Fodlan, they'd end up doing more traveling.

There's a few kids that are really interesting to recruit on CF, mostly the Blue Lions, but I also prefer leaving a bunch unrecruited as it makes the route have more impact in what you have to sacrifice to actually fix Fodlan. The most interesting people to recruit to CF are Mercedes, Felix, and Lysithea. There's a lot of people with good content there though.

Lysithea is an honorary Black Eagle anyway, you HAVE to recruit her. Also you better recruit Anne with Mercie.

Marianne is also a recruit option because she only shows up if recruited and has unique battle dialogue for part 2 I'd probably go with BL: Felix, Mercedes, Annette GD: Lysethia, Marianne, Leonie (for the paralogue with Linhardt) and as much of the neutral recruits (Staff & Knights) as possible. Everyone but Alois gets supports with either Edelgard or Hubert and Alois has unique ending slides for this route.

I like Hanneman as the true hero of Fodlan. In his paired ending with Lysithea, he learns how to implant and remove crests at will, both undercutting any rationale for nobility and eliminating the brood mare problem making Mercedes and Bernie (and Sylvain) suffer.

I like having Hanneman, Alois, and Manuela around even if I don't want to use them on the battlefield. This would apply to Seteth and Flayn but they gently caress off for CF so c'est la vie.

It makes sense that there's more to the various factions than just recent high school/college graduates. That said, I don't care all that much about using/supporting them compared to my students. Hanneman is super boring. Shamir is hilarious but she'd be just as hilarious if she did the same stuff as a student. Catherine is good because she provides a nice mentor to a lot of characters, even if some of her story is dumb. Alois is amusing but kinda just exists in a meaningless way. Seteth and Flayn are awesome. Cyril makes me hate the game.

Alright let's say that after I beat my current Golden Deer run I will probably have somewhere in the vicinity of 60,000 renown points to play with. If I optimized my character's skills and got everybody to C rank authority to use the OP storyline formations would maddening be bearable? Speaking from the perspective of somebody who doesn't deal with Dark Souls because my brain's 'pain/reward' ratio leans heavily on 'pain' but is finding Hard too easy despite holding back a lot of the time.

Maddening on new game+ is a way, way different game than fresh maddening. You don't have EXP problems, and you start with battalions for your entire party right away.

Maddening on NG+ is a good hard difficulty setting. If hard feels like normal to you, and Maddening feel like it starts as Lunatic+, I think you will find Maddening NG+ entirely reasonable.

I only recruit students I think joining your side makes sense from a story perspective. CF: Ashe, Sylvain, maaaybe Mercedes but only if you have Jeritza, Lorenz, Marianne and Lysithea. With the GD commoner trio as Ehs. AM: Kinda hard to find anyone since AM is tied up in nationalism way more than the other two. I can kinda see Leonie being there for Jerald's sake, Maybe Raph as repaying a debt. And I'd bet Lorenz and Marianne were originally conceived as Faergus characters but as of now it's kinda awkward. VW: Petra, Ferdinand, Ashe. With Felix/Sylvain/Ingrid I can see their territories throwing in with the Alliance but also feel they would stay with Dmitri till Gronder. edit: Yuri goes CF, Hapi and Constance go CF and AM, and Balthus goes VW. galagazombie fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Feb 27, 2020 |

So does the Wayfarer only intertwine one couple? The UI made it seem like there's only one pairing you can force and doing another one overwrites it.

On Classic mode, if a character dies they are gone forever. Essentially everyone, including the devs, restarts in this situation; this isn’t the kind of game where you trudge on after somebody gets got. I recommend Classic—there’s a rewind feature that makes it much more accessible than previous games—but you should know this going in.

Especially with the tiny cast in this game, most Fire Emblem games give you some later recruits to help people who had characters die early but 3 Houses really doesn't.

Yeah the rewind feature is a godsend. I did my first playthrough on Hard Casual because I didn't want to have to restart and lose 30-60 minutes of time every time I got unlucky, but after you get like 5+ Divine Pulse charges it just never was an issue.

I think you can intertwine as many couples as you want, but there's really no need. The list in the UI shows the prioritized order of pairings. Whichever couple is at the top is the couple that will happen, and whichever subsequent couples comprise two free characters will also happen. Just buy the 500 renown support points to shuffle your fave couples to the top and make them dine together.
