At least on the Empire side, Hubert canonically can do a villain teleport, so he probably taught the rest of the class.

Snake Maze posted:Having a gameplay toggle for permadeath definitely feels like a weird fit for a musou. I guess it's ultimately not too different from normal (in Fire Emblem and in this game, permadeath basically just means that you fail if anyone dies, and in musous failing the mission if any of your player avatars die is also pretty normal). The only real outlier would be continuing on after one of your units dies, which, does it even get acknowledged outside of gameplay? I assumed they just do the normal Fire Emblem thing and "retreat" so they can still show up in dialogue scenes. I kind of mentally glossed over it until one of the paralogues where someone explicitly yells "REMEMBER, DON'T KILL ANYONE" and realized that the kill counter was explicitly a "K.O." counter so the only people that canonically die ever are like, a handful of named npcs at plot-specific points where they forget to surrender or run away lol

Zulily Zoetrope posted:lmao I just got to part 2 in Azure Blaze and I gotta say I appreciate how the game just goes "hey you haven't fought the Deer at all, so here, you can just have all the recruitable Deer characters at once, free of charge. Except Lysithea; you don't get Lysithea on the route where you get Thunderbrand for free." It's especially weird since at that point the Lions have identified Thales, so surely someone who was affected by him and the Slithers would want some answers like the rest of Lions want answers for Duscur

It turns out wars in Fodlan are like the Condottiero mercenary wars in Italy's 15th century, where everyone was a professional so as a professional courtesy the actual fighting was relatively bloodless. Look, this is just our day job, don't get all bent out of shape for the sake of a bunch of feuding aristocratic children.

Well for all the story itself was about moral grays and no one being perfect, the ending slides always say “And then Edelgard/Dimitri/Claude made the utopia that achieved all the goals each Lord said only their particular ideology could accomplish.”

You are absolutely killing tons of people. Like characters talk about killing people. There's a scene why Byleth is fuckin' soaked in blood and trying to clean her outfit off. It's just a lot of named characters tend to escape.

This conversation has made me curious is there anyone else you can avoid killing by defeating someone else or using specific battle strategies first like that? I've mostly just seen the recruit strategies stopping people from dying and assumed it was all like that

I'm reaching the end of my first run, I think, and I'm curious--is it safe to sell/trade any facility upgrade materials you no longer have any use for, or am I going to want to hang onto these for some reason? IE, if I've already got all silver upgrades for every facility, can I just trade all my basic building materials (or whatever tier that is) for smithing stones, or will I want them later for a reason I can't predict right now? I think someone mentioned your facility upgrades carry over to a NG+, so I can't think of any use for them.

I saved mine until I unlocked the best value-for-trade-in base upgrade, but otherwise it does seem safe to trade them in for stones. Maaaaaybe there’s a map explore point that wants mats, but I can’t remember it/haven’t seen it.

'Unified ending DLC' except it's a fourth alternate timeline, this time one where Shez and Byleth collectively get Rhea to spill the beans on TWSITD and subsequently convince Dimitri and Claude to believe Edelgard and work with her to reform Fodlan. In true 3 houses fashion, you end up bonking a lot of bandits on the head and the final boss is Pallardo working with Duke Aegir and TWSITD are dealt with off-screen in the ending slides.

Are there a lot of supports that you can miss the opportunity to get? I was surprised when I got Claude and Holst to C, because apparently I already "missed the chance to deepen their bond". It's a little disappointing since I'm guessing these two are exclusive to this route.
