The next game set in Fodlan needs to be an Inn simulator starring Raphael and his family after the war is over edit: literally just Bear and Breakfast but with our Large Son edit2: I will say I didn’t expect my favorite pairing for Shez to be Hapi but the two of them fit together very well.

Hapi has an incredibly support line with Bernie in this game too.

I beat Golden Wildfire! Kinda? I think that bit around chapter 10 where the pop up was like my actions will have a big effect on the story going forward may have wanted me to not mindlessly try to punch Blythe's face at every opportunity but like... gently caress that. Only one MC can survive! Anyway I never figured out Shez's backstory and the war ending is left on a maybe. Time for, I dunno, Lions I guess.

Call me cynical but the endings to me screamed “Buy the DLC for the rest of the ending!” “Discount if you buy all three endings together!” Hell even if you do the Arval side quest you still don’t learn what the hell is going on.

Wow, thanks to everyone for the explanations and screenshots! There is a lot I have not been noticing in the heat of battle so far. I didn't even realize that you could choose vulnaries from the R-button menu, I've been going to the map every time I want to heal someone, even when I'm controlling them. And I didn't even know about that ability you can activate with ZR.

So, following up on whether Essence of X affects character actions abilities, even though it doesn't say so in the description it does appear to as I triggered Marianne's ice ability and had Essence of Ice triggering in the upper left during the whole time.

Man all the Raphael supports are so wholesome.  Dude just wants to run his inn and cook some delicious food. I almost feel bad about the fact that despite joining late he's already got a five digit body count because his War Master class is absurd. Almost.

Yeah there's not as many support conversations as in Three Houses but got dang did they go for quality. Ferdinand's supports with Edelgard and Hubert are a whole journey on their own. I also like how they pepper in little tidbits to respond to questions raised by Houses, like (Shamir/Hapi C) the statue in the Abyss being the Dagdan god of fate, (Edelgard/Monica A) Edelgard knowing that Kronya was a fake Monica and pretending otherwise because she knows how precarious her position is and (Edelgard/Hubert A) Edelgard canonically being completely infatuated with Byleth because they share a Crest of Flames. Also just unlocked Marianne/Bernie's C support and my gosh I'm also not very good at swapping units and had to force myself to not just control Shez 90% of the time. Which I eventually managed, but now I'm using Jeritza nearly as exclusively instead. Tell me it's not just me.

Ferdinand's supports with Edelgard and Hubert are a whole journey on their own. There's a few I tend to default to, usually the core team of which I take at least one character (Shez, Edelgard, Ferdinand, Bernadetta, Constance) and then the spares I let the AI do its thing or rotate them around in adjudant roles to optimise support building (which is probably an unnecessarily tedious affair, so I might have to drop that eventually)

I know it's an obvious cost saving measure but it's *really* funny to me how every route has the same exact camp layout just with different color banners. Who's out here building this exact same camp all over the continent?

Not just every route, but every chapter, even though you've got a map showing that the camp indeed moves around. Fódlan is just absolutely riddled with old forts built from the same exact blueprint, obviously.

protip for the thread: if you get the sidequest reward that's [x] number of free blacksmith forges, use those immediately, because they go away next chapter! also goddamn the smithing stone economy is stingy. ive got 100k gold in my pocket but because i can't just buy smithing stones, I don't get to upgrade any of my good weapons also also i really wish that "invert mag/str" rings existed. I want Lysithea to be a swordsmaster now that I've stabbed Catherine to death and looted her corpse for her shiny sword

Unless the armorer also has a limited stock and I never realized. Also I wish I had 100k, I still want to level some characters, get forges and batallions but I'm constantly running out of money. Although I feel bad doing forges when the next facility forge update will make me erase them, but I'm not sire how long it takes to get the final ones.

Yeah, every character can get at least one hidden ability from mastering specific classes. For Lysithea, mastering Mortal Savant gets her an ability that makes all of her damage use Mag regardless of weapon type, which is pretty rad.

Shez's, for example, is from Dark Knight. (Not sure if that's something people consider a spoiler, it's not a spoiler that the class exists but maybe someone wants to find these abilities themselves or something.)

Okay, I'm kinda stumped on how to S Rank on GW the Balthus and the Gonerils parallgue. It feels like even when manually killing every commander I can't reach the KO count, but if I stay too long killing mobs I run out of time since the timer is only 10 min for 1800 KOs. I guess it makes sense since the reward is a Rank A Battalion but I'd like to know if there is a better tactict that's not "come back when you kill commanders in 4 attacks".

Sudden Javelin posted:My selection process is always "whichever two units are energized + whoever has type advantage for the map" Yeah my usual process is the two energized units, shez in whatever class is most useful for the map, and the 4th is an adjutant for shez to get whatever advantage still needs to be taken care of. It does put most of the strength in the shez basket, but it seems to work fine since there are so many options to move her quickly. At least on easy, anyway.

This stuff being hidden is extremely annoying because mastering classes takes a very long time so it's not like you're likely to randomly send people down random trees.

Edelgard gets abducted by Thales mid-fight with Dimitri. She basically gets a magical lobotomy, and becomes mostly silent and nearly childlike in the ending. She spends half the route as a voiceless puppet to Duke Aegir and Arundel. The last time we see her she is on her knees, slack jawed and blank-eyed, staring into the distance. She cries out things like "Uncle, noooo..." if Thales is hurt in her fight. It's really quite dire.

You can sell weapons for smithing stones at the Supply Master, I’ve done that a couple times as my weapon cache fills up and it gives you a pretty hefty pile of rocks, especially if you have the facility upgrades bumping up the number of stones you get for trading
