It's just one reviewer? Why not retain your "wait and see" attitude, and look how the thread regulars judge the game after playing it?

how else is the thread supposed to know they Hate Fates without being performative about it

hubert's paralogue was real bad for this :v:

yeah sure, lord arundel, call me incompetent because your freaking mages killed themselves on the giant monsters they lost control of in the first place!! i could've killed them all on the next turn if you'd just stayed still and used a vulnerary for one goddamn minute :argh:

You only need to keep more than half of them alive to get the reward, all that changes from saving all of them is text in the following scene

does anything ever come of (last BE chapter before time skip plot spoilers) jeritza and the death knight? there seem to be a lot of hints that jeritza wasnt actually him, but he never shows up again and even when the death knight joins you with edelgard no comment is made of him

makes me feel like that plot thread was cut or maybe they're saving it for dlc

The biggest tragedy and personal loss the player has to pay for choosing the BE-E route is losing my buddy Gate Keeper. Seeing him replaced by his twin brother from the Empire just isn't the same after we bonded so much. Of all the people i spoke with after Jeralt's death, his reaction was the only one that really choked me. :(

i see this a lot and i never got the impression that was his twin brother, i assumed it was the same old gatekeeper who was telling you about his twin brother

Wow I finally finished a playthrough (and it was the shortest one!) Feels really satisfying though, I feel like the main plot's writing improved pretty dramatically towards the end there. Like, it was always pretty good, but it became excellent! I could really feel the stakes and the emotions at play on the battlefield. Now to see if I can muster up the motivation to jump right into playthrough #2.


The point he's trying to make is that his brother is loyal to the church and thus followed them out of the monastery. It's not the same guy.

"What's that? Do I have brothers in the church? You really are well informed! My older twin works for the Knights of Seiros, but I think he's just a grunt. Not a noble gatekeeper like yours truly!"

It's a joke about how he has the same model as the generic soldiers, not saying that the original gatekeeper left and was replaced by his brother

Question. So, I just beat my first Fire Emblem game(this one) and this is the first game on the Switch I actually liked enough to play to the end, so that is pretty high praise. I am ready for my second play through and am curious on suggestions on which house to start on next.. I started with the Black Eagles based upon the fact that it was the most popular house in the thread poll, and despite it making no god drat sense and the game giving you 0 reason to do so, decided to stick with Edelgard because while the game gave you no loving information on how to make that decision, the game is Anime as gently caress so I figured it would be a good choice.

1. Which faction/path would you suggest I pick for play through 2, which had a story you liked more? Please try to avoid spoilers on the story, i'm looking for general suggestions on Blue Lions or Yellow Deer for the next round.

I did casual/hard the first time, I'm going to bump that up to classic/hard this time, now that I actually get how to play.

2. Is there any point to have the main character be anything but a sword user, given the sort of loot they get down the road?

1. just for the contrast, i'd suggest blue lions, golden deer's story is very different

2. not really since you can use a sword in any class you want, it's worth raising your skills in other weapons to recruit students or acquire skills/class certifications though

My working theory is that it's out of a sense of fairness after Dedue got left out of the "seconds in command" 3H banner in heroes. In other words, expect Hilda to be mysteriously absent next time 3H characters show up in another game.

hilda will probably show up the most out of the second in commands for reasons i think are obvious
