I'm still going to wait to see all of who is in each house, but as a lesbian drat if I'm not all in on team Black Eagle right away. Also I don't know whether to preorder or wait for a lull in FFXIV, since ShB good.

I thought early reviews were saying everyone, or at least the vast majority, is bi? Since you can't have kids that would make sense AND please the most amount of people. Is that not true? Or do we just not know?

I mean when it comes to the GBA games, I remember shipping Marisa and Tethys hard in Sacred Stones. I think they were meant to love the same guy, but that's not how young me took it.

I haven't looked super in depth at all the characters, so my plan is to play through the school section blind to learn about characters, find out who I like, and if I fail to recruit them, I'll restart and look up strats.

Mister Olympus posted:people engage in this conversation when talking about any game with dating sim aspects or at the very least a heavily player-characterized protagonist that has a lot of dialogue options. it's not about FE it's about evolving standards in media consumption I also remember reading some initial reviews that mentioned they thought the characters could be read as bi, and as such I was hoping for more LGBT romances. It's dumb, but as a big dumb lesbian, I love shipping and dating sims and doing lesbian things in dating sims so it'd be a selling point for me.

Magic house, powerful empress, best colors. That she and Byleth can be gay is also cool and good. Though if everyone's master class is mounted, does that give Blue Lions a big advantage cause their whole thing is mounted combat?

Hello, my game arrived earlier than I thought, even if it's a bit late, so I figured I'd ask, is there any kind of guide on how to skill people for idiots, so I can just follow that instead of suffer through choice paralysis for my first run?

So in my Black Eagle run I've mostly been having everyone stay a class til they master this..how big of a mistake is this? I assumed that when they put on their new class their stats would adjust as if they had gotten all levels as that class, is that not true? As well, while I've mostly figured out a role for everyone, Caspar is just horrible at everything the game wants him to do by default. He somehow always gets 2 times by the enemy, can't dodge, can't deal damage, has no hp....my current thought is just dump him in a suit of armor because someone has to do it and may as well be him but like, is there anything he can do? There's also a hilarious stat differential in the two main characters of Byleth and Edelgard and everyone else is just dust in the wind. Though Dorothea and Hubert can keep up in terms of murder because their magic is incredible. Eimi fucked around with this message at 08:28 on Jul 29, 2019 |

What are these paralogues? I'm on the month where Flayn is missing and I don't think I've seen anything like that. Are they like specific b rank supports or something? Also how long do I have left before the timeskip, so I know if I should focus on my students or getting my support rank to B with the students I wanna poach to get them easier than getting all the random skills to C.

So I asked some questions last night but it seems like everyone was asleep so I'm gonna ask again. 1. Is getting class masteries a good idea? I was under the impression when you class change the boosted stats are back loaded as if you got all levels on that class, I dont wanna screw my girls out of power. 2. Is there any way to make Caspar useful? Hes just a warrior atm but he does no damage, gets hit twice by the enemy every time and just seems like a liability. I've tried both fists and axes and poor dude cannot do anything. Like my melee in general seems anemic aside from Byleth and Edelgard but at least I'd describe Petra, Ferdinand, and Sylvain as equal to the enemy not worse.

Zore posted:1. Really depends on the Mastery. Some are worth it and some are garbage. It doesn't change their level ups or backload anything though. Ah gently caress, so promote early and often then? I guess you can always change class later on to earn the mastery right? My current plan is get him to armor knight and just pray he can at least use his talents for getting beaten up in a tin can.

Also just everyone in general exudes insane amounts of bi energy, making it sad that not everyone is bi. I haven't gotten far enough to see any of the same sex romances proper, do they at least acknowledge that the romance is same sex to justify not just making everyone bi?

Bogart posted:Remember that units have a limited amount of skill slots and basic 'better at lances' skills count. Many of your units may have lovely level 1 Swords or Authority hogging a spot when they could have a Seal Skill, Rally Dex, or Swordbreaker. Go to Roster > Abilities to be sure! That seems really loving stupid because you have very little control over that at all. I mean looking at a lot of my units I know they are entirely full on skill slots.

Master classes seem oddly limiting and specific so I almost feel like they are meant only if you have a specific goal for that character. As well speaking of limited seals what should I do with the dark seal I have? I don't know the difference between dark and black magic, and thus who would be best for it. I guess Hubert? But I also have Dorothea and I'm working to recruit Lysithea and those are the obvious candidates.

DC Murderverse posted:man i really want to snatch Hilda from her home team because she and Sylvain are made for each other. I do want to get her because I can just imagine the carnage her and Edelgard would carve up side by side, and what with Caspar being mediocre in my run, but her recruitment window is crazy specific and as Black Eagles you can't give gifts or lost items to her so you need to spam luncheon her to get support points to hopefully hit that window. (None of which I have been doing.)

For the Lorenz paralogue do I actually have to have him recruited to get the sweet sweet staff for Lysithea? Because I do not like his design at all and would have no place for him in my line up, but considering a strong theme of this run is magic gods.... Actually for that matter who all has paralogues and what are the rewards from them?

I did not know that soft boy Ashe had skills in swords and axes. Given that he already has higher strength than poor Caspar....I think I have my replacement axe user. Also I feel guilty recruiting all these students and never using them, but I'm hoping on the B rank support saving me from having to kill them...

I'm running into the issue of, I wanna use Ferdie because he has supports with EVERYONE because he's properly in my class, and while he's a decent unit....Sylvain has the ace in his sleeve of his lance and his special traits and like...it's hard to not use him because they make him so strong I guess my fault for building them both as cavaliers with the intention of being paladin. I was gonna use both and make Ferdie a Wyvern Knight, but the tiny deployment limit has kinda nipped that in the bud for me. Ingrid is enough flying.

Andrast posted:You can always use more flying imo Certainly possible. Really wish default deployment was 11 instead of ten, I'd feel much less like I was leaving just one more person thought would be cool to have around. Current endgame line up I'm planning on is Byleth - Personal Class Edelgard - Personal Class Hubert - Dark Bishop Dorothea - Gremory Petra - Assassin Ferdinand - Paladin/Sylvain - Paladin Lindhardt - Bishop Bernadetta - Sniper Caspar - armor knight/Ashe - Hero (poor Caspar has been brutally hosed by stats) That leaves just one slot open, and I have Ingrid as a flyer and Lysithea as another mage goddess I want to fill it. I could just cut Caspar/Ashe entirely and fit both, though that'd be just Ingrid for spears and she's not exactly overflowing with strength skill ups. You know, is there a good class to just farm strength skill ups on because I hate seeing my dedicated melee with less than 20? Eimi fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Jul 31, 2019 |

I mean at least seeing the online stats Black Eagles is overwhelmingly popular. The most deployed list is just the Black Eagles house and no one else is on it. Also clearly the reason to recruit people is to hopefully save them from the second half of the game. It is funny seeing how insanely full your classroom gets. As for the Black Knight I have no idea how to legitimately beat him. Even my best units in Edelgard and Byleth get double attacked for 33 damage each time. Bernadetta gets hit even if she's using deadeye from half the map away. Guy is just walking bullshit. I wanted to kill him and I'm playing on casual so I just resigned myself to suiciding one or two guys into him just to wipe the smug rear end grin off his face. No idea how to beat him legit. Also the only NG+ I could see doing is Edelgard's route again just with the optimization I've learned and maybe actually doing classic. (Even if how punishing stat growths are in terms of making someone amazing or just trash)

I kept Byleth because I was thinking maybe people would say the default name but nope. Also is it just me or do wyverns look really bad this game? I don't remember them being this derpy in Warriors. ...I miss the old s wyverns. Also swords are cool and since Edie has an axe I get to be the sword master.

Going from Fates to 3 Houses is probably one of the biggest swerves in tonality since like, God of War Trilogy to God of War 2018. At least his supports with Byleth, even up to B rank is basically this guy is a medieval incel and I loving hate him. All it is about is him creeping on women and not getting it when you as a professor tell him to knock it off. Though Hubert is the best since most of his supports are him totally playing up the evil vizier role and threatening to kill you and then you get that pop up.

Hyper Crab Tank posted:(Hubert A-ranks w/ other students) I was looking to gay marry Edelgard but now I feel like I would be robbing Hubert of his big chance, dorky as his confession was. Then again, he also more or less implicitly accepted a marriage proposal from Dorothea, so maybe we can all just be a big giant polyamorous, power-dynamically problematic pile. Look Hubert you talk about murdering me all the time but if you get inbetween me and my lesbian empress I will destroy you utterly. I think there's a stat where the game shows the most overall support points, which are gained past A rank, and the people with the highest points together get their paired endings.
