Yeah, it's weird that they specify "in the same universe". It makes it quite limiting.
this just means that unlike most licensed warriors games the story doesn't take place in a completely original setting with just the characters plopped in there

decided to hang out with the Black Eagles again, Edelgard had such good stat luck that Rhea couldn’t damage her. just swung away with Amyr til she croaked

maybe I’ll finally play through the DLC, I was annoyed that I wasn’t allowed to recruit them to my house cause I hadn’t completed it

You don't have to actually finish Cindered Shadows to get Yuri & Co. Just gotta reach the final boss.

Another trailer dropped the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5TrSaoYmZ8

Things I/other sickos on twitter noticed: Playable(?) Monica(the real one maybe?), A man who has to be Holst was fighting a man that is probably Caspar's dad, Dedue has a beard(!)

Also the JP site says that Shez's whole deal is they got they rear end whupped by Byleth pre OG game and now they've vowed to get revenge or something by enrolling in the academy.

My biggest question at this point is WHERE'S SYLVAIN?

If I knew how much like Suikoden 3 combat this game was I'dve bought it so long ago. Thank you TriStrat for getting me back into SRPGs.

Anyway I'm only starting the second half so gotta bail the thread, loving this

But also that makes Seteth feel like even more of a bumbling Mr. Magoo. Just uh never really bothered asking Rhea what she was up to during the last thousand years huh.

Everyone else in that conversation is also being very nice about pretending they haven't noticed that Rhea and Seiros are the same person.

Part of that is due to how poorly the game conveys Seteth's situation. Much like how Flayn fell into a coma after Tailtean and has missed nearly a thousand years of the world, it is implied that Seteth has also been severely out of touch with the rest of the world until about maybe a few years prior to the start of the game. One of the things Seteth has been doing on the side while the main plot is going on is catching up on the world and what Rhea has been doing, and he is equally appalled at Rhea's behavior. It's not helped that Rhea acts so brazen and careless around Byleth (which to Seteth, is horrendously out of character for Rhea) that by the time Byleth and Sothis merge, Seteth has only just figured out what Rhea did to Byleth as an infant. A random student mentions after Jeralt's death that they overheard Seteth and Rhea getting into a very loud shouting match, which is implied to be Seteth directly confronting Rhea about her experiments and reading her the riot act. So he's not a bumbling goof, Seteth is more "learning at a rapid-fire pace just how insane one of his closest friends/semi-family members has become, and he has no idea what to do about it because everything else in the world is going slowly crazy simultaneously".

Also remember that Jeralt never met Seteth and he was with Rhea for over a century. Seems safe to say Seteth has been out of the loop for a while.

I think I'm going to get back into this game and play it on hard with permadeaths and no save scumming and just see where that gets me. Since I've forgotten literally everything about how the game works and how to buys swords and stuff and how combat works and how the routes diverge from one another, I expect to have a hard time.

edit:

So I bought the expansion pass for the first time. Also, I need my joy cons to recharge because I haven't used the Switch in a good long while. But I'll be playing the game soon enough.

Well it's been a week since I made the post above and I played about 20m which was the opening cutscene up to the start of the tutorial fight.

I'm going to eat some sausages in baked rolls while my joycons charge and then actually play the game.

edit:

And, as I said above, I'm expecting to do terribly.

edit:

I'll go with Dimitri because I don't think I've done that before.

None, it was billed as an alternate story using the same setting and characters, it is extremely alt-history.

some of the dialogue from Byleth in the trailers makes me speculate that it's Time Travel Fuckery in part caused by Byleth trying for a Golden Route

Important characters who appear in the Three Hopes demo: Monica (playable), Counts Bergliez, Hevring, Varley, Duke Holst.

I'm not a fan of Musou games, but the gameplay seems fine; the important part is spending more time with all your favorite Three Houses characters.

E: Also Claude's scumbag brother whose name I already forgot, but he does mention that Claude's given name is Khalid, something that never made it into Three Houses.
