It's using the dynasty warriors engine which seems to handle much larger groups fine on switch.

And yes that's a possibility. The few folks we've seen from the church seem more "duped by a possibly evil god" than actually evil.

yeah mage byleth doesnt really seem like a thing they want you to do, and you get byleth's magic sword pretty early and theres an entire option in the monastery for restoring uses to it so i imagine thief or mercenary are their only real options

Bit of a shame to not have the option.

I kinda expect at least one or two of the mage students require Byleth to train in magic to recruit.

Also, can anyone clarify how adjutants work? From what I understand there's no more pair up during battle, you assign them before deployment and there's no separating. Is that the case, and if so what happens to the adjutant if the lead unit dies?

Afaik, adjutants are just a way to share xp. They don't add new attacks or anything.

One lore bit from the spoilers clarifies the situation with Rhea I think. Fairly minor spoiler.

The church itself is split into two factions which means Rhea and the others could be with the church but not be villains if things are going with the evil church twist.

I mean, I get that avoiding unions sucks, but I also like that much lesser heard actors get to be in such high-profile games as nintendo makes. The usual dub suspects get boring when they're everywhere.

And projects like this are how the talented non union actors build pedigree to get into the union later if they wish.

Honestly I think at this point that while I want to go Golden Deer, I am a little wary of how much Edelgard is getting built up as The Canon Experience and I worry the other two routes won't be as good a narrative.

I'm sure it'll be fine but it definitely feels like she's going to play a major role no matter the route.

Potential spoiler question but what’s the gameplay loop like post-timeskip? Certainly there’s not still a calendar system right?

Apparently there still is but of course it's less structured. You'll still be training and such but with less/different options and more battles.

Yes the leaked stuff is from a text and cutscene dump. It doesn't reveal much about gameplay and likely even lacks context in places.

Honestly I have way more problems with the Avatar being the only character able to be gay than like the options available for them. Same sex paired endings are more interesting to me than any potential Byleth romance. But I’m also actively not into the player avatar as a concept so maybe that’s to be expected.

There are apparently other gay pairings. Including a bunch that Byleth doesn't have access to.

It definitely sounds like they're going to have a lot of unique missions but it's hard to tell from what has leaked.

Like for example the last mission of the first act is the same mission but changes a lot based on your house decision.

Like that bait and switch is so abrupt, from the sounds of it, that I wonder if writing the support and writing the ending were split between two people who had very different ideas about that relationship.

They might be. A bunch of the supports are romantic even though the ultimate ending for them seems platonic when taken alone.

Weird question that might require spoilers:

Is Byleth some pre-destined, magically gifted Mary-Sue like Corrin? I read the OP and it said your head gets inhabited by some dragon girl...but that doesn't really explain much.

Byleth is (vague spoilers) is a chosen one but not really for any Mary Sue reasons. In fact they are sort of the opposite of a destined one.

So how does it work with commoner characters? Do they just not have any special skills?

Outside of crests the only difference between commoners and nobles is each has a slight stat boost in different areas. For nobles it's charm which affects their battalion size from my understanding

You can get Hilda if you A rank them before the last month pre timeskip. However as you can't give them gifts or even ask the recruit question it's half luck if they join you.
