Cloacamazing! posted:I also found my only complaint about this game on the Black Eagle route: Bernie and Hubert only get a C support. This is completely unacceptable. Felix and Annette also only go up to B. is this even the golden route if they cant get married???

one downside of this game is it seems like characters don't get their special A-move unless they're in their intended class, which means you can't experiment too much because otherwise you dont get cool and/or funny poo poo like thisKittyEmpress posted:Sylvain is one of the most fun characters to play in this. Make him a thief and abuse his 'my range goes up as I get more hits' to clear entire rooms and accidentally guard break people you didn't even see behind you. Also, fun fact: apparently they adjusted the character heights in this game, because "cutscenes outside of 2D backgrounds" means that they can actually move the camera a little bit - in Three Houses, they kinda fudged the heights of some characters by making them float because otherwise they wouldn't show up in frame. Now they don't have to do that! https://twitter.com/_saoas/status/1535526125966725121 This, of course, now shows off just how hilariously tiny Lysithea actually is.

i started the Black Eagles route after finishing basically everything i could in Golden Deer/Blue Lions and goddamn i forgot how much edelgard rules. Shes so good. Her explicitly going after monica and saying "to hell with the careful planning, im taking a gamble to save my friend" has only made her more excellent. Also, hubert, my boy. I also forgot how loving funny it is that he's essentially a loving looming vampire who constantly talks in ominous trailing sentences.

Folt The Bolt posted:Pair up the teacher and the one you want to teach them to. Teacher must be the active unit, while the student must be the Adjutant. neat mechanic, though. Reminds me of the early disgaea games, where the only way to make characters like Flonne useful was to have a generic mage sit on them for a few battles.

doesnt the opening cutscene of three hopes kind of spoil one of the Big Twists* in three houses? this game seems like its very much expecting you to have obsessively played the first *okay so Flayn and Seteth are about as obvious as can be but they ATTEMPT to hide the fact that they're Old As Balls

i think the weirdest thing about this game is the fact that some support levels dont include support conversations, just the rank. I got Claude & Marianne to Rank C and the game was just like "oh, good job." but nothing else.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:Obviously Edelgard is the correct pairing for female Byleth, but there's some real questionable power dynamics at play if you really want to go there. having the hots for your improbably young teacher is a cornerstone of the yuri genre (besides, when she becomes emperor the power dynamic inverts dramatically so I never understood the Harsh Discourse surrounding edeleth in the first place)

it only just occurred to me that the Ashen Wolves are absolutely going to be Byleth's faction, solely because they have "Ashen" in the name. There's absolutely no chance they won't be.

Zore posted:His mom and Mist are the only people who can touch the Fire Emblem without going insane. And his dad was the best swordsman in the world. And he's literally the only person in the world able to wield Ragnell. They also sort of do a weird thing where they've retroactively turned Aether into something you get through a royal bloodline but that wasn't a thing in FE9 so it can mostly be ignored. And i always saw "mist can touch it without going insane" as "mist is noble and pure and doesn't have violent urges that she would act on anyways so its fine" which is very funny considering you can very easily make her into an absolute monster of a unit

Deltasquid posted:Also the conceit of this game and the playable characters are kind of a hilarious juxtaposition. Cutting through literal hundreds of mooks makes sense as Shez or Byleth or Catherine or Dimitri, but it kind of falls apart when you think a little bit about how or why Manuela is a whirlwind of death with her fists if you class her that way

Bongo Bill posted:Lorenz was designed specifically to give a bad first impression, so you understand that, yes, everybody else also sees him as pompous, self-absorbed, and generally obnoxious. It's to give him a starting point for character development, which I found satisfying to watch play out. If you're a Ferdinand fan, you should know that Lorenz and Ferdinand are the ultimate best friends of all time. he's an earnest idiot who never quite realized that A: most of the nobility does not give a poo poo, and B: that the rank-and-file soldiers have to come from somewhere I like that him and Ferdinand are both slightly different takes on the idea of Noblesse Oblige, they're much more compelling than most fantasy characters whose defining trait is "nobility". also he has stupid hair and awful fashion sense which just makes him funnier

speaking of magic, my shez has had some weird stat growths and not only is her magic stat slightly higher than her strength, it's higher than lysithea's. very worth your while to invest in training her to use it, she makes for a fun mixed attacker

sad to see that lorenz is, once again, kind of trash stat-wise great character, but his str and mag are both 10 points behind the physical and magic focused units... which only makes him look worse when compared to Shez, who can actually use both at the same time already, and is in the top echelon of the entire army. Granted, Shez has the innate bonus of "being the protagonist" but still. RIP Lorenz, at least this game has the ability to re-roll stats. (yes i know musou games dont have nearly as much focus on character stats over weapon stats but its still funny)

i think one of the funniest parts of three hopes is the fact that it inverts which hero's relics are good Three Houses' equipment relics (mostly thyrsus) have really nice stats and passive skills and are great because there's really not a lot of stuff that has those skills. (ie: there's like 3 different things that buff magic range and thyrsus is one of them) Meanwhile the weapons are cool but fuuuuck grinding umbral steel so you use 'em for important fights and thats it But then in Three Hopes, you have poo poo like Freikugel that A: has much more damage than most axes, B: has much more durability than most axes, C: has a unique weapon art where you cause a volcanic explosion, and D: can be spammed without fear. And then you have Thyrsus which gives you +3 Mag. also speaking of equipment I found a camp that was giving out either a knowledge gem or an experience gem and I have to wonder why anyone would pick the latter when mastering classes gets you skills/arts and levels can be bought for chump change

was having trouble clearing the enemy death requirement of one of the paralogue S-ranks, and so I decided to switch Shez from swordsmaster back to Fluegel i went from ~1200/1500 to ~1700/1500 kills. I forgot how loving bonkers her unique moveset is, especially when you throw dark magic into the mix KittyEmpress posted:I sort of decided to test how much stats matter in this by replaying a map before and after feeding shez enough stat boosts to raise her str by 12.
