I'm playing the Three Houses Side Story, and I'm very mad that Jeralt is shown as old and with a beard in the image of him with Byleth's mom. I'm 95% sure I remember Rhea (or someone else) specifically mentioning that Jeralt did not have a beard when he was last at the Monastery! This DLC has had some pretty tedious levels, though fortunately the most recent one wasn't too bad. I think I have one more left. I just beat Aelfric, who ran, so I'm guessing one more fight with him.

This is the most fun combat review I've seen so far: This is just from a random skirmish; I wonder how big you can make number with concerted effort.

Louis and Cloé’s substory is about Louis seeing if he can recruit her into his voyeur lifestyle.

In the original JP, every Alear S-support is explicitly romantic. In the TL, they made the under-18s, plus Vander and the other old characters, more platonic. Which is a move I understand in, say, Anna's case, but since the ages aren't actually shown in game, say, Fogato, could be anywhere from a teenager to early 20s. This makes everything feel extremely random if you look at the wrong supports. But no, there's no 'this character is bi, this character is straight.'

Also Alear is (not counting the 1000 year nap) 17 in the internal files so they apparently decided that 17 years olds shouldn't date fellow 17 year olds. Because reasons.

chloe has three support gimmicks food, fairy tales, compliment-flirting. i haven't unlocked it but my niece said merrin and chloe's supports were pretty explicitly romantic so she might just be the bisexual menace of the game like dorothea what a legend

For clarification in the original JP every single Alear paired ending starts with 'Alear's partner,' with partner in the romantic sense. For some reason they removed this even for the supports that the TL didn't touch???

Ngl, Chloe seemed kinda boring at first as just “lady who likes fairy tales I guess” but she’s definitely someone I like more as just a lowkey insane person who literally watches people sleep despite their requests to not do that because it reminds her of fairy tales, on top of shoveling whatever into her mouth like a Snorlax.

Most people in the cast, even if they appear boring and normal at first, are one form or another of gigantic weirdo, and I think that's great

So for the Emblem paralogues: do units still perma-die in those? Like so far they seem like scenarios where nobody should be fighting to kill but I don't exactly want to test that theory.

Characters do the death animation and give their death quote, unlike Training! skirmishes where they stay on their feet and give the retreat quote. I haven't tested if it sticks, but signs point to no.

I probably would've appreciated that too since somehow my Kagetsu has gotten no non-Alear supports and he's been in my team for 6 chapters along with Zelkov and Ivy

Blaziken386 posted:IMO the amount of support points you get is fine, but they should've used the old system of "people who get deployed together get supports" rather than it only being player phase and only in extremely close proximity. Sometimes the characters with the fun dynamics fulfill WILDLY different combat niches, you know? I don't know why they took away the 3H? era change where every unit in range of an enemy got support points at least. Instead it's like if I want supports I have to play incredibly suboptimally, so it just sucks all around.

I do think the writing would be getting a warmer reception if the game was more generous with support points. It's unfortunate that it's unlikely a player will see many full support chains without specifically going out of their way to grind support, because the support conversations are generally good and do a great job showing off the characters.

Tbh I think I'd prefer them being scattered scenes after doing a Three Houses replay where every other chapter is punctuated by binging like six random conversations about food or being scared of the dark with no context or reference to the rest of the game

So is Maddening "meta" going to be class changing everyone to heroes and learning Lucina's Dual Assist skill? I realized the power of heroes when I saw that chain attacks do 10% health damage and always have 80% accuracy. Hilariously though it doesn't work on the final boss since it reduces chain attack accuracy to 30%.

Frankly the only reason I haven't made all of my melee infantry into Heroes is that the outfit looks dumb. The class itself is strong as hell. In fact I think the only Hero I have is Goldmary since she doesn't have to wear the normal Hero outfit.

people are coming up with like 5 different metas. first it was generals, then it was canter, now its brave assist. im sure the dust will settle eventually but for now it seems like, multiple things are good/viable.

Am I understanding it correct that you can't keep skills between classes? Your final skill setup = class skill, personal skill, emblem skills, 2 inherited emblem skills.

So is it confirmed that weapon ranks or weapon triangle disadvantage don’t really do anything beyond “can use C/B/A/S rank weapons” and “get broken when enemy initiates combat”? If so that’s kind of an…odd choice, the game owns but it’d be even better if Louis had even some slight kind of downside for facing down axe attackers instead of just chunking them like he does everything else, or characters’ innate blue proficiencies having more of an effect for most of the game by giving +mt/hit and not just for I assume the endgame penultimate chapters when you get the S rank weapons.

Another thing the innate proficiencies can do is make you able to use a wider range of weapons in a class that doesn't necessarily specialize in a unit's proficiency. For example, making someone with innate lance proficiency a sword/lance Hero lets them use B rank lances instead of just C rank ones, which opens up the Spear and Silver Lance as options.

Accuracy is such a clusterfuck, especially in the early game, that throwing weapon triangle into the mix would make it FE6 levels of Miss Hell, imo. Especially given the buff to terrain avoid, I think that it’s probably for the best. I think the game could get pretty miserable particularly with the dearth of early game swords.

Heroes and sages have their immense power held down and suppressed by having kind of ugly costume designs in this one. Though I really do appreciate that sage's midriff torso wrap thing and leggings-with-random-stripe-missing are completely unisex so everyone gets to look equally doofy. It's just like how in fates every dark mage really loved sheer body stockings. Dual Assist is strong but a 35% proc rate is kind of rough.

Much more reliable at that point. Costs a shitload of SP of course.
