Just finished my first run, GD. I don't know how I was going to kill the last boss if Byleth hadn't pulled off a clutch crit. I was like putting everyone in front of them and seeing "Mt: 0" on most or at best 20 damage. The crit meant Claude could pull the trigger but anyone else would have just been yeeted off the map. Thanks Byleth

Tabletops posted:so i just did battle of the eagle and lion on my deers restart. I wasn't that interested in her until she wrecked me in that fight, god she was difficult. I think Leonie dealt with her in the end. Not nearly so useful when I recruited her but still ended up a key team player, along with her best BL friends whom I also poached. And Ashe was there too

Oh hey post above reminded me. I finished GD today and in Lysithea's end card it said "even without her Crests, she was fine" or similar. I guess I missed something because that was never even mentioned. I didn't bother recruiting Hanneman, is that why? We were besties so it wasn't a support with me thing. She married Lorenz of all people, gross, I'd have talked her out of that if I could

Adun posted:So this is my first Fire Emblem game and I had no idea you had to view support videos between supporting characters or that you could even build links between characters that didn't involve Byleth. Unfortunately I'm now in what I'm pretty sure is the last month of the game. Did you play 70+ hours without ever looking at the support menu? I mean that's entirely viable if that's the case and you can be bothered with the grind, I farmed Felix and Bernadetta's last two like that and it took about 20 minutes. although I regret it bc they got married and that's weird

I like Catherine well enough but was pretty mad my first playthrough when Ashe married her.

Kurtofan posted:Claude owns, please do not speak ill of my boi Yeah this, if I had stopped playing this game after first going with Golden Deer I would have been satisfied I think. The only thing in GD I wish had been different was Dimitri, him fighting us at the second Gronder Fields was bad and him dying offscreen was terrible. There were so many other ways he could have resolved. Even killing him myself would have felt like a better ending for him. As it is there's no reason for him to oppose the Alliance and no reason for him to die like that. Also Claude's endings are weird he just fucks off I guess? Thought you were my best friend bro but w/e

Did exactly the same thing and then Dimitri got mad that I was opposing him when he was fuckin coming at me with his murder lance. My guy gently caress you, I tried

Yinlock posted:(church route mission 3) He's sad for like three whole months after this though  Yinlock posted:I think GD is necessary just to get a more detached perspective on how insane this conflict is. Everyone else is insanely personally invested and only has like a quarter of the story before going off to murder, GD is like "ok what the gently caress is actually going on here" Would recommend GD as a first run to anyone. The other routes have such crazy amounts of character moments and Dimitri's whole thing that GD will always feel like a bit of an anticlimax, but as a first run it's amazing. Even the big moments that are downsized flame emperor are still big moments. I love the band of misfits and Claude is just such a fun character compared to the other two. I'm extremely golden deer. e: BL seems like the real one though. All the early missions are about BL kids and Dimitri's connection to the main plot is intense. I haven't seen all of it but p sure it must be the intended one. Also it's apparently the most popular one in Japan. Funny how it's least popular here. eating only apples fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Sep 7, 2019 |

Prowler posted:Claude and Petra wound up together in my playthrough, which works really well from a story perspective (and fits his motivations/aspirations). Ah that's a good one, my Claude ended up with Leonie which I wasn't expecting, I thought she would end up with Ignatz. The card was great though, she just disappears from her village and when he does a state visit she's at his side. Woulda married her if I could, it's a crime that she's straight tbh

Diogines posted:This is what I have so far: I'm in the same position on NG+. Hubert's only ever going to be worthwhile as a mage so I just have him studying reason alone. Ferdie can use riding to great effect later, strong physical attacker for now. Linhardt has surprised me wrecking poo poo as an offensive mage so maybe getting his reason up is worthwhile. Dorothea same. Bernie's a sniper born and bred, but get her riding up because she's a great bow knight very later. You don't have anyone else with bows so getting Petra involved isn't a bad idea, but her strength is up close and dodging everything for most of the game. Caspar is a nice guy but useless Am I wrong

HenryEx posted:You could just NOT use Ashe to, like.... open... chests? Because he is made of kindness, mostly. What a sweetie. Also I used him in my GD run as a sniper until Bernie massively overtook him. He's lance and axe on my current BE run (because I couldn't bear the thought of eventually killing him) and is entirely lacklustre. Maybe he'll pick up. I don't know why he comes with axes and has lance as a hidden talent when he is so not meant to be up and personal. He does okay with hand axes so far and he'll fly eventually.

Diogines posted:My joke was about my own mistake, not about him. And since you are making such a silly issue about this, yes, I believe that we should treat everyone with respect and dignity and respect the position that they take regarding their gender identity. So there is no need for you to be up in arms. Fear not, I am gone from the thread. As Linhardt would say, goodbye. (for when you come back to read this: even if you have been mistaken about a fictional character's gender, it is not okay to double down and make awkward jokes about their pronouns, identification, and progressiveness, because then you come across as a transphobe.)

It's so cool that he did this, not as much upside-down Claude as I'd expected. He can't do the wyvern backflip.

Harrow posted:Yeah, that's the other thing. Which is also what makes it a little frustrating to me--I'd love a reason for classes to sort of compete for time when it comes to class mastery. If you want to have a really optimized team you're almost certainly having every physical attacker spend like 10 levels as a Brigand for Death Blow, and every caster do the same as a Mage for Fiendish Blow. Meanwhile there's basically no reason to use Priest at all. Even your healers have offensive spells and Mage gets them Fiendish Blow, while Priest gets them... double the Heal spell charges as long as they're still a Priest? Ah I'm trying to care about class mastery this run and I know Brigand gets deathblow but nothing else about mastery skills. My Byleth is running as a priest because she looks better in the outfit. What does thief get you? Petra and Felix are killing it as thieves. Felix with a bow is fun, Petra's going dancer because quite honestly Sylvain is at the moment doing exactly what she does as a mercenary. His dex/speed might drop off later but for now he gets it done. He can dance if he starts to struggle in the next couple months. Any other mastery worth going for? I'm trying to use the noble/commoner mastery skills more. Shove is funny to me.

Harrow posted:Here's the list: https://serenesforest.net/three-houses/classes/class-abilities-arts/ Thanks, still avoiding spoilers as much as possible. I'm glad this thread is so kind about that as I'm BE-E for the first time. Edelgard and Ashe are brigands and Dorothea and Annie are mages so far. None of these intermediate ones are as exciting as I hoped so I guess I don't need to be so precious about it. Maybe when they get to advanced or master. Only the brigands, mages and maybe Bernie as an archer. I'm not giving up Linhardt's double white magic to respec him as a mage, he can suck it up. Pavise and Aegis later seem worth getting. Felix is ridiculous with his shield and in my last game someone else got Aegis naturally, Ferdie I think. I guess if I'm insisting on making Caspar punch he should get unarmed combat. He's way too squishy but once or twice he's pulled it off with just fists so I'll stick with it. eating only apples fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Sep 8, 2019 |

Ferdie is awesome and gets even better in part 2. I just did the Battle of the Eagle and Lion for the second time and that would have been much harder if Claude hadn't sat twiddling his thumbs the whole fight. I don't think you should need to get near the other house leaders for them to go. I'm BE this time but still cheered when Raphael scored a clutch dodge against Dedue and knocked him out.

I'm making it to 40 hours again pre-timeskip and I don't quite know how that happened, I thought I was blitzing through it. I don't think I'll feel so fond of it on my BL third run. I will actually blitz through that. There's a Hilda/Marianne explore conversation that only seems to happen in GD where Hilda tells you that people are saying Marianne is one of the bad guys  No downside to recruiting her tbh

I love his supports with Bernie because he lectures her a bit, she freaks out and accidentally hurts him, then declares him her nemesis and goes full foetal position upon seeing him again. And then she ends up lecturing him because he berates himself so much for being so insensitive and un-noble as to try and get her socialising. Ferdie's one of my favourites. I like how his dialogue post-Flame Emperor reveal but pre-timeskip are so different on GD/BL compared to BE-E. The first he's really freaking out, his world is turned upside down, just all his confidence in himself and his house is completely drained. I just got to that point on BE-E and he's still a little shaken but seems to understand why what happened, happened. Just a good guy all round.

For about thirty seconds then he's fine again, sure. But he cries about it! That was on GD so I can see it being different in other routes.
