It still continues to be a crime that Claude isn't bisexual. Also I have no idea why Gilbert is even a S-Rank option. Alois has his fans, but I've never heard anyone speak glowingly of Gilbert. It's also worth noting that since Jeritza is locked to one route (and was added later) and Yuri is DLC, the only male you could marry in the base game was Linhardt. Not to knock on the guy, but the lack of options is pretty harsh on gay/bi dudes.

Yeah, I think we got the short end of the stick here, but FByleths have some really good marriage options, and I'm just happy for them. And there are a lot of M/M pairings in the supports, some of which are pretty heartwarming. Overall still way better than the trainwreck that were Fates gay romances.

I know there's Linhardt/Caspar, Ferdinand/Hubert, Dimitri/Dedue, Felix/Sylvain and Yuri/Balthus, but the Golden Deer were infuriatingly straight. Raphael/Ignatz ends with Ignatz marrying Raphael's sister, and Claude/Lorenz doesn't really go anywhere. I think the only same-sex supports that could be possibly read as a romance might be Hilda/Marianne.

Been doing my first playthrough of this game (which I had to buy a Switch for, thank you COVID check). Some random thoughts: 1) Fear the Deer. 2) Raphael is totally Big McLargeHuge from MST3K's Space Mutiny 3) Goddamn it was hard recruiting literally everybody before part one ended. 4) Remember that stupid Harry Potter twitter joke about how the students get sorted into "brave, smart, evil, and miscellaneous"? Yeah, that applies to this game too. 5) I wish there was fanart of Byleth and the characters from the Trails JPRGs fishing together. 6) Game told me I jumped straight from A to S support with Dorothea immediately after part two started. Yeah I may have a problem.

It's amazing that there are three notably terrible haircuts in Part I (Ignatz, Lorenz, Linhardt) and Ignatz is the only one that kept being terrible. Then again, at least he's consistently terrible, I still maintain that Ingrid went from 'amazing' hair to 'oh dear'.

Lol right before the final fight in Crimson Flowers Edelgard pulled me aside and was like "Professor, now I have to tell you the dark secret about the power you wield. You see, the reason you had the goddess living inside of you is because... your mom probably descended from the goddess." The two options were something like "Thank you for telling me" and "I still don't understand." I picked the later one because I felt like I had missed something and thought it would be funny. To which Edelgard responded "Professor, now I have to tell you the dark secret about the power you wield. You see, the reason you had the goddess living inside of you is because... your mom probably descended from the goddess." What a weird and pointless reveal. Is this something that comes up more or is clarified on the other routes? Because it was very funny to see it being played as a shocking twist or whatever in Crimson Flowers.

One thing you learn after playing multiple routes is that no one has all the information. Byleth's origins are mainly revealed in Verdant Wind (Deer route) and the DLC.

Spoilers for the full explanation Rhea's been experimenting on people to create a vessel to reincarnate her mom into. Byleth's mom was one of those failed experiments, a kind of golem that Rhea created outright. She fell in love with Jeralt and when they had a kid Rhea was really fixated on it and hoped it would be the missing key to be the Sothis vessel (turns out she was right!). The stuff with the Sword of the Creator was Rhea trying to kickstart Sothis incarnating in Byleth's body and taking it over like she'd previously tried with their mom.

Zore posted:Yeah it gets explained more in the DLC and on other routes. To add to this Rhea saved Jeralt a lot time ago by giving him some of her blood which extended his life much longer than normal, which is one reason why his age is so ~mysterious~. But one of the reasons why Byleth was successful is because his birth was the combination of Jeralt's Rhea-inbued blood mixed with Sothis' crest stone. Oh, and the crest stone that Byleth has in his heart was actually pulled from his mother's chest by Rhea when Byleth was born. Verdent Wind gives a lot of backstory and history to Rhea and her motivations that the other two routes don't. It's the lore route. Lorenz's hair gets worse after the time jump and I'm upset that Mercedes' hair gets put up, her side loose ponytail is really pretty. I've found absolutely no interest or purpose in using Manuela or Hanneman.

Recruiting either Hanneman or Manuela is the only way to get the Experience Gem (via their paralogue) to help underleveled units catch up.

Warp is nice but 4-5 range Warp is pretty underwhelming. And then Hanneman doesn't even have that going for him. I think they're the 2 worst pure mages in the game, but hey, at least they're free to recruit.

Hanneman's a great example of a book that can be judged from it's cover and you'll get it 'mostly' right, but a snap judgement will miss one key aspect of his character that completely recontextualizes everything about him. "Ok, so I've talked to him and looked at his character design and he's obviously a quintessential fussy, fuddy-duddy noble scientist-professor" "Well yes he is that, but he's also a revolutionary working under the nose of the Church to blow up the whole Crest-based status quo.

It's not so much that other routes have the full information on Blythe's origins, it's more that the Crimson Flowers route had a moment that highlighted what you don't know and then was like "I'm going to tell you everything you need to know. Did you understand what I told you?" when what it told you was insufficient and wrong. Anyway, Hanneman rules (as a support character and not as a unit on the battlefield, I never used him for that.) I like that every single one of his supports is basically "why yes I am obsessed with studying crests" until A support where he adds "IN ORDER TO DESTROY THEM" and it never feels weird or extra or distractingly plot twisty. He's pretty solid about it, tbh. There's one support chain -- I don't remember, Lysthia maybe? -- where he's like "I'm a crest scholar sure, but first I'm a person" and you buy it. That's relatively effective characterization, especially given the fairly flat characters in this game. Manuela is strange because I genuinely don't know enough about Japanese culture to understand her core conflict, like I guess women who aren't good at cleaning up are considered un-marriageable or something? They keep being like "you date too many people and your bedroom is too messy to be married" but I don't understand why that's true and every time it comes up characters are like "well Manuela your personality sucks" without ever getting into why it sucks. But it doesn't matter much because on CF you can marry her to Ferdinand who ends up being a house husband while she takes over as prime minister and that's okay with me. edit: Oh, so I'm about to beat CF and will do the DLC next. If I play more, which I probably will at this point, I'm going to do the Golden Deer route. What does Rhea's affection change? I've seen things like her paralouge get changed if you have a C+ or higher support with her. Does the story change along with that? I'd love to be able to understand what she's doing and why while still smacking her down but if that's a CF only thing and I'm just skipping story content by having a low support with her I'm down to grind her support up.

On VW/AM, Rhea's C support is just for her paralogue. On SS, completing the support chain gives you the option to S rank her at the end.

I've still not played Silver Snow though I have every intention to (though that's in the same pile of intention as "I should really dent my backlog instead of constantly playing Monster Hunter"). When I do, it will both be my first "recruit everybody" run, and also I'm intentionally using people I've never used i.e. Manuela, Hanneman, Anna.
