Looking back, Echoes seemed to be them experimenting with a bunch of things that have made their return in 3H but in a slightly different or refined way, like the combat arts, lack of weapon triangle, and yeah the first person/dungeon stuff.

There was also a preview video of her walking somewhere at some point, and that's the moment I turned from "look a bit weird but overall cool!" to "oh no, my eyes".

But they've obviously been working on the graphics, so maybe they'll look better by release.

I was gonna pull out that quote about Genealogy too! I like that it's an explicit inspiration (and obviously adds to my hope of an eventual remake if they're thinking about that game a lot).

edit:

I mean Genealogy is one of the most beloved games in the series and the only thing from it they've really gone back to is the kids thing, so going back to everything else about it makes sense.

From the big leak posted ages ago which has been mostly on the money I remember Manuela being listed as a gay option.

I mean I'm very very glad of that but she's just an older woman, not an old woman, if you get me? She's probably only like 30. I dunno, I just wish women in fire emblem were allowed to be as old as men often are.

I don't like Mercedes' voice at all though which sucks. She's still my priority recruit to black eagles, so I can have all the bi girls in one house.

I had decided that well before we even knew she was an f/f option which is nice. I think there's some good potential in her being a former (possibly exiled?) Adrestian noble.

It's at least the only voice I actually dislike from the samples we got, it's just a shame that it had to be for the character with my favourite design and intriguing backstory. Not a big deal in the scheme of things, obviously.

Haven't played in a while, why shouldn't you ignore the early advanced class? In the ones I played they were just a huge XP sink

unless it's a game where you expect to get to level 20/20 (like say Radiant Dawn or Conquest), promoting around mid-10s gives you those earlier stat-boosts where you can actually use them, instead of using unpromoted units until really late.

So I was counting on getting students up to B and having them ask to join my house and this has worked spectacularly thus far with the exception of Marienne and Mercedes. I have them to where they will be A rank immediately post timeskip but they refuse to join up. As it's month 11 I don't know if I should just change my faculty days from sword/faith to what they want, since I don't want to leave them behind.

you only need like d rank if they're at B support, so it shouldn't take too much work to get the right skills up

yeah lol I guess they were too cheap to get two illustrations done with both male and female Byleth so they just have the one, and Byleth isn't in it (I have only seen Dorothea's but I assume it's the same for the others)

SyntheticPolygon posted:

Just have like 4.

You really don't need 12. I can't remember how many Echoes had but it felt like a whole lot less.

I think echoes had a max of ten, but it was a little slower in progress to get as many as in 3H. Echoes also didn't have the amazing quality of life feature of throwing you into pulse mode when you get a defeat condition unit killed.

Yeah I played BE-E first and really felt like I had no idea what Dimitri's motivations were. I get that they want to keep back story and development for playing other routes, but it makes your victory really unsatisfying when you don't even really know who you're fighting.

I felt like BL did better with Edelgard, since you actually have scenes with her, but it was still a little lacking. Claude was kinda weird though. "Alright, I'm giving you the keys to the kingdom, now I'm loving off forever. Seeya!

I'm playing GD now so I'm interested in seeing Claude's deal.

You need all four playthrus to get the whole picture which i get people not liking but i didnt mind it

I like it but I also think it's to the game's detriment in some places. BL does pretty well since it's so focused on Dimitri, but I think BE-E suffers a bit narratively. BL shows that they can have a satisfying narrative while leaving some things a mystery, but they clearly didn't have enough time (?) to polish BE-E to the same degree.

I had Edie support Lysithea. It was pretty good.

Yeah i really liked her Lysithea support! Although it had some weird plot-related stuff (towards end of school phase big spoiler): I only got their B after they had all left the monastery, but the support was set in the monastery like they were still at school. Very strange.

Arkeus posted:

For Assassins, the big problem is that the only master class with swordfair is mortal savant, and few assassins have good spell lists. If you aren't too bothered with losing sword fair, Falcon Knight is a plausible upgrade (or Wyvern Lord for males I guess).


They are really really good for dark mages though. Too bad those are mostly BE-restricted (Edelgard and Hubert), but Edelgard Dark Knight would be fairly drat good.

I'm already planning edelgard dark knight for when I do BE-E again. I'll probably use church route training to get her up in the skills she needs then buy them at the start of the next one.

I love new game+ for letting me plan out wildly dumb ideas, like the bow knight Hanneman with magic bow+ I want to try.

Honestly something I feel might make the difficulty more interesting with the current systems is to change how doubling works, make it rarer in general, possibly limit it to certain classes as a class feature. When I can't just obliterate one unit per activation things get a lot more intense, though this also relies on me not being doubled on return or my units start blowing up. I don't know if that would be too much of a change from Fire Emblem in the past, but if doubling was limited to like falcon knight and assassin or something, combat would have a lot more tension.

Perhaps some kind of unique skill that only some characters have that allows for follow-ups. Maybe you could call it something like... 'Chase'?

yet another reason why they have to do an fe4 remake next

Finished BE-E, definitely agree it felt rushed, at a minimum it definitely needed a few more chapters to handle mopping up TWSitD but overall I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

Also maybe I'm alone but imo Byleth losing Sothis' crest in their heart, returning to a normal human, and getting to live a normal life is way, way, WAY more satisfying than them becoming supreme leader of the world and/or the super pope.

Absolutely agreed on your last point, I honestly hate the archbishop etc endings, I do not think Byleth is fit to be a world leader. Advisor, yes, ruler, no.

Blue Lions is definitely the most polished route. One thing I almost wonder is if, since the pre-timeskip chapters are so Faerghus-focused, the original plan would have been to have each house have their own domestic affairs to deal with. But they realised along the way that they just could not accomplish that, and so stuck with what they had already, which was the Blue Lions chapters.

Completely baseless speculation of course.
