Well, yes, in the sense that you don't have a borked Support pairing system where Cordelia can be pining and hopelessly lovestruck for Chrom two years after they both married. But Faye's situation is explicitly portrayed as something deeply weird and unhealthy for her.

Endorph posted:this game's writing has some slight quibbles (there's some go nowhere sideplots, a couple of characters are pretty dull, for some reason every single character in the game has some kind of unrequited love) but it's it's a hell of a lot better than fates, and more focused and streamlined than awakening. helps that the TL is the best of the three. Has the English script been leaked then? I remember hearing a few of the supports have started showing up online, but is enough of the full script out there to be talking about overall translation quality.

I'm confused, is Mae and Boey really unrequited or was this changed from the japanese?

So is there going to be a metric butt ton of DLC for this like there was for Fates and Awakening? I didn't see that mentioned by Endorph yet.

it's worth grabbing the free dlc with the villager fork since that's a fun thing to mess with. the actual dlc dlc is garbage.

If anything the ones for getting coins might be fun to play with; I had a lot of weapons whose upgrade chains I wanted to see more of but never had enough coins for. But that's sort of reaching for anything at all of value where there isn't much.

Seems like the Cipher dlc characters will have conversations with themselves and some bonus items. Still no clarification if it's an Anna thing or not.

I am preloading this game right now. I'm ready. I have a nasty cold and will likely be home tomorrow unless I suddenly get massively better. That means I can play Echoes all day while hopped up on cold medicine, whee!

Got the LE a day early  Same store that put the Fates LE on their shelves a day early, too - gotta love stores with small video game departments that don't really care about putting stuff out a bit early.Might have missed that in the OP, but if I don't recruit Faye/Kliff, do I miss out on anything? I remember reading that I just get them later on if I skip recruiting them for now.

Do Kliff and Faye have supports with anyone on Celica's side? Is there a good reason to have her get them besides doing it for the sake of it? I mean, she apparently has her share of peg knights and mercenaries, so I guess they could be her cavaliers?

Silque has a support wit Jesse on Celica's side, that is the one cross army support I can think of off the top of my head.

Just going to recruit them with Alm then, thanks. Also, hope there's a bunch more first-person exploration, getting an Ace Attorney vibe from that part.

Man I don't even have the game yet and already I am paralyzed with indecision. I can't decide if I want to make Faye a Cleric or Peg Knight. On the one hand, she gets those neat Cleric spells and having a second healer would probably be good. On the other hand, MORE PEG KNIGHTS. (Peg Knights are my favorite unit type.)

Make her into a Peg Knight, and then use the free DLC to make Silque into a Peg Knight It can't fail

More details on the Cipher DLC: https://serenesforest.net/2017/05/18/echoes-details-cipher-collab-character-introductions/ They're battle maps, you get two characters per DLC (4 bucks each, 8 total), and they have supports+Base conversations with each other. Also exclusive spells and items.

My favorite animations are the (female only? not sure) villager animation where do do a loving bloodborne dodge and then follow up before hitting the ground, and the triangle attack animation

That said, I think Faye does have a base conversation later in the game if you recruit her with Celica.
