Haunting you until no 8 arrives.
I'm a bit saddened since personally Golden Deer are my overall favorite. I do hope that you have the relevant DLC for the black eagles route since it's actually pretty interesting, although I don't recall if it was one of the free ones...

Also, can't believe all of you dunking on Ferdy, the worst you could say about him is he's naive and overconfident. He's a good person and it shows in pretty much every support with him. Strongly suggest making him a dancer, once you get the chance to do so. It's both funny and incredibly effective because you can stack his dodge sky-high with a sword as dancer thanks to his personal skill.

I would advise, just to make the game easier for yourself, poaching Lysithea ASAP. She is the strongest mage in the game by several magnitudes and will be incredibly useful as one of the only units with access to dark spikes, aka "All Horses Must Die".

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
They're playing on Normal/Casual, they could literally auto-battle the entire game and probably have little trouble. Just let them do whatever, it'll be fine.

That is free DLC fortunately, although the route benefits a lot from Constance in the paid DLC.

It would be interesting to see them go through the Paid DLC/Cindered Shadows side-story, especially since they're on the shortest route already. That being said, I haven't played it myself so have no idea how badly it interrupts the main story's flow, or how relevant those side-story characters remain once it's over.

It's completely separate from the main game. And it kinda assumes you already completed at least one route.

However, you only need to play up to chapter 2 to unlock Constance.

It's basically a mini alternate campaign set sometime in the first half of the game. The big thing is that like all the campaigns, it has some big old spoilers for other routes in it, so they probably want to finish at least one of them first.

While you are correct that you could pretty much sleepwalk through normal, I would argue that it is still viscerally fun to explode enemies for absurd amounts of damage and everyone should get to experience that.

Putting Bleh in basically any other outfit really downgrades the Titty Situation so there’s just something about her default outfit that really accentuates them.

"Bleh". Understandable.

Byleth's name is significant.

He/she is effectively a 'demon of love'.

Similar is also true of the mother's name, Sitri.

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

quote:

Voice actor controversy

In July of 2019, the former voice actor for the male variant of Byleth, Chris Niosi, was alleged to having physically and emotionally abused his friends, significant others, and colleagues, to which he admitted to on social media. A statement from one of his ex-girlfriends claimed he would seek out roles for television and video games for media one of his victims enjoyed as a form of emotional abuse, she also claimed this included his role for Byleth which he used to mock said victim suggesting he would inevitably voice the character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Niosi's name was removed from the credits of Three Houses and Heroes by Nintendo for violating an NDA and discussing his role prior to the game's launch. In September of 2019 he was replaced by Zach Aguilar, and his lines re-recorded. It was speculated that Niosi was also removed for the abuse he admitted to.[11][12][13][14][15]

Are there any noble students who aren't just the heir to some title but have already inherited it? They're young enough they could have a regent running things for them so it probably wouldn't matter, but it seems like the sort of thing teenagers would lord over each other.

Dimitri technically. His dad's dead and he's the crown prince but his Uncle is running things as regent until he's old enough. Technically if he wanted to he could walk up and go "Hey, King me" and be King then (and some people want him to so he stops wasting everyone's time) but he's not going for it yet.

IIRC, the reason he doesn't is because he is, according to tradition, not quite old enough yet? And he refuses to go against that.

Wait, I don't actually know the plot of this game, just what some friends who've played it told me (mostly that Edelgard is the main character). Do the Black Eagles become a traveling theatre troupe? Do they join the circus?!

Edelgard isn't the main character, she's the primary Lord character of the Black Eagles path but Claude and Dimitri are equally as important.
