It occurred to me that we haven't seen much of Byleth's papa. I hope we get some father/daughter time and he doesn't become another Greil or Shiharam.

With how this game lets you be more free with weapon ranks and eschew traditional limits, let him do it all.

I didn't see anyone post these:


Gilbert
A Knight of Seiros who hails from the Holy Kingdom. He’s deeply faithful, and is a serious and polite person. He doesn’t show much emotion, and doesn’t talk about himself a lot. As such, it’s hard to know what he feels about things, but supposedly he’s fond of fishing and cooking.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_jAhtJItK4

quote:

“Nice to meet you, teacher. My name is Gilbert, and I shall be accompanying you on this assignment. While I do not know how much of a help I may be, I shall do all that I can to help you.”

>Aren’t you being a bit too stiff?

>Nice to work with you.

“I apologize, but that’s just how I am.”


Shamir

Shamir is a master at the bow, previously part of the Knights of Seiros. She was once a mercenary, but she became a knight in order to pay back a debt to Rhea (Church of Seiros’ High Priestess). Among the knights, she’s a rare non-believer of Seiros’ teachings, but she is completely loyal to Rhea personally.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTSAMWiFRJk

quote:

Shamir: “I see you wandering the halls of the Monastery almost every day. If you’re looking for something, you should do a better job at it.”

Protagonist’s response:

“Been thinking about the enemy’s objective.”
“I’m not looking for anything.”

Shamir: “Then I suppose that’s fine. Well, it has nothing to do with me, but I eliminate those who get too close. It’s my job.”

I like Shamir a lot.

Endorph posted:

You could just have different dialogue for pre/post-timeskip. The cast here seems way smaller than Fates/Awakening which reduces the amount of supports needed by a lot, so you could use that same workload to have alternative supports for pre/post-timeskip.

The Kotaku article mentioned that one of the supports she did post-skip referred to someone who died during the skip as if they were alive, so this may not be the case, or at least not done evenly.

Someone noticed that at 2:57 in this intro cutscene, you can see modern skyscrapers for just under a second. Probably nothing relevant and just touching on the time travel aspect of the story, but an interesting detail.

A good question. I was also curious if someone who learns magic goes into a non-magic class, do they lose access to their spells?

My understanding is only spell casting classes can cast magic, but does being in a class give you that class's spell list or do you have to be a certain level to unlock them or do you have to study for them?

Do we still not know what exactly NG+ carries over? If its character levels that would kind of suck because leveling is fun, but if it's, like, your ranks in weapons and magic so you can more easily swap classes or recruit characters, then cool.

I still don't think FBlyleth's stockings looked good but watching some of these streams they seem easy to not notice while the game is in action so if they bother you, you'll probably tune them out when the game is under way.

Anyone watching streams know one that isn't being streamed by someone lovely? First one I found named F!Byleth "Thot" which tells me all I need to know about him and the next one said he picked his house because it wasn't "full of [homophobic slur]s."

If so that honestly makes it all the more baffling as to why.

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.

This is every character early on thanks to the way weapon weight works out, that's not a very viable strategy

How does it work? Is it FE4 where it applies no matter what? PoR where strength reduces it? Something else?

So do battle quests like "Banish the Bandits" expire like paralogues? I am at a point where I am on the last day of this particular month, I want to do Ingrid and Dorothea's paralogue, but I also have this quest and I'm not sure if it'll expire at the end of the month or keep going until I get around to it.

I... don't know what that is.

In the Tales system, you get Grade, which is points to reward you for doing well, mostly in fights. When you NG+, you spend grade to add modifiers or carry over certain bonuses to the new game. It varies by game, but carrying over stuff like your unlocked titles (which give stat bonuses in some games) or weapons, or enhancing gold and xp drops, etc.

That makes sense--I'll keep promoting ASAP, then.

Out of curiosity, can you use master arts in any class or just the abilities? It looks like Myrmidon gets Swap, for example, which could be fun to play with.

I wonder if class XP ever comes faster. Like I can think of a bunch of units I'd love Deathblow on who I wouldn't necessarily want to use as a Brigand for very long.

If you get an art for a mastery, it can go on almost any class unless that class is specifically barred from something tied to that mastery. Like I don't think you can put Fistfaire on a Holy Knight because they can't use fist weapons.

I haven't finished her stuff, but it does seem like Dad at least is willing to listen to her based on his paralogue.

Also Lorenz seems to have a reasonable father. A very busy and civically-conscious one, perhaps.

Same, I weirdly enjoy the mechanics of the fishing minigame. It's super satisfying.

I am salty that after fishing 50 times and getting all these five star fish in the fishing tournament, I cannot actually give them away as gifts.

I have 49 trophy fishes perfectly preserved in my pocket at all times. Teach isn't taciturn because of he's secretly a dragon robot or whatever, he's just bitter about being too good at fishing and being buried in fish.
