Ingrid on her Pegasus absolutely slays and was probably my favorite character to play with on the lions, especially with the addition of ice to her attacks

So as far as recruitable characters from 3 Houses the only ones who we don’t know anything about playability-wise are Manuela, Hanneman, Alois and Cyril? The first three appear in the prologue I have to imagine they’ll pop back up at some point. I also bet Cyril shows up in the Deer story at some point give he’s one of the only Almyran characters in 3H and has a connection to House Goneril.

DLC should be Dad-loadable content and just be Alois and every dad who isn’t already playable (ala Rodrigue). Honestly the lions route is kinda light on dads so far aside from him and Gilbert and a brief cameo from Margrave Gautier. Still gotta see Lonato and Lord Galatea and maybe the elder Martriz, plus I hope we’ll get a bit of a glimpse into Dedue’s life pre-Tragedy.

It would be kind of funny if the plot is that Byleth started doing time shenanigans to make everyone happy together and went crazy as they slowly realized that actually their presence actively made things worse (Dimitri goes full-boar crazy when he thinks they’re dead, Edelgard’s strategies get worse when she’s lovestruck, Claude’s laid-back vibe gets overtaken by dumb church bullshit) and has vowed to keep going though timelines until they find one where they are not a stick in the machine like some sort of magic Terminator who has apparently stumbled upon Shez as their John Conner

Zulily Zoetrope posted:I see the chain of events that lead to Scarlet Blaze and Golden Wildfire, but what exactly was the catalyst for Dimitri's stuff? Rufus going full despot and straight up admitting he did all the war crimes obviously didn't happen in Three Houses, or at least the latter didn't. It's not even a cascade effect of the Edelgard stuff because Cornelia is there after all of the non-Fhirdiad fighting has been handled off-screen and she still doesn't know what happened in Enbarr. Rufus made a play for the throne, assisted by Cornelia. He always had a claim to it as the older brother of the previous king but he publicly made the accusation that the House of Fraldarius was going to use Dimitri as a puppet to suit their own ends once he ascended to the throne, and that Rufus was the true king and would be a better one since he’s already been regent. Basically a coup, which is different from Azure Moon because there Cornelia killed Rufus herself and framed Dimitri. Edit: I found further proof for my “Byleth makes everything worse” theory: Sylvain is no longer a hoe! https://twitter.com/buschtrottel/status/1535296180401348609?s=21&t=iFAF9qiUuazjb3h-5QubgA DC Murderverse fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Jun 11, 2022 |

Terper posted:Billy Kametz, Ferdinand's voice actor, has sadly passed away due to his cancer. Three Hopes is the last game he was known to work on, and his role as Ferdie is unquestionably a huge part of what made the character so loveable. This is such a huge bummer, he’s so young, it’s tragic. He’s excellent as Ferdie, that sort of character could easily be so grating that you hate them but he brings such an earnestness to it that sets him apart from Lorentz and Sylvain who also have their nobility as large parts of their character but express it in very different ways.

Twelve by Pies posted:This statement makes no sense to me because when you pick Wei in Dynasty Warriors you don't ever get to choose or play as Shu or Wu characters, it's all Wei. If anything it would be extremely weird for a Warriors game to allow the entire cast to be playable together. One of the key things in 3 Houses is being able to recruit characters to your house, it’s almost certainly gonna be in here in some aspect given how well they’re adapting the other systems of FE:3H

I’m starting in on the Black Eagles and I love Seteth talking to Edelgard after her proposal to use the church to overthrow her uncle like she’s just proposed a particularly risky Independent Study and if she has been lying to go gently caress around at the mall with her creepy goth friend she won’t be able to walk at graduation.

I think it’s kinda funny that all of the students speak with much more strategic intelligence in this game (because there’s not a tactical mastermind like Byleth around to hog all the critical thinking) despite the fact that they were only in Strategy School for like 3 weeks before it was shut downMang Tomas posted:Would I be totally confused if I just start this game first before the base game since it being an alternate timeline story? I think I'm going to like this game's action more than the strategic base game. Go for it, honestly. If you get confused there are places to ask questions but if this is more your speed I’d just start here.

Another fun dichotomy between Three Houses and Three Hopes: recruiting. In Three Houses you recruit people because you’re such a cool and good teacher who everyone loves and in Three Hopes they’re basically just prisoners of war. When I recruited Bernadetta over to the Lions she was like “uh what the gently caress have I done why am I here am I gonna have to fight my old friends now” It’s weird that we just shove high ranking enemy soldiers into our force with no thought of them ever betraying us

To be honest Ashe doesn’t get it a whole lot better sticking around with the Lions since you kill his adopted dad anywaysAugus posted:game owns There’s no actual marriage but this game feels way more gay than 3 Houses. Dedue giving Dimitri his lance back when you rescue him from Cornelia is definitely a boyfriend moment. As a whole the Lions story really feels like a response to the reaction to Azure Moon. More integration of Duscur, Dimitri isn’t completely inconsolable for half the thing, him and Dedue are even closer and Felix gets the sort of agency he probably should have always had as a counterpoint to Dimitri.

I think the supports in this game really miss that five year time skip. There’s much less character growth happening and a lot of the rough edges to the characters that you got to see in the Academy portion of Three Houses are already gone by the time this game starts properly. Everyone is already their better selves, and there’s remarkably little conflict.

Lord Koth posted:On Azur Gleam, there's been some... interesting implications behind the recruitment one person in particular. Specifically, Petra. There's a very ugly implication that she's only fighting for the Empire because she personally likes her classmates, and she's been promised/threatened things regarding Brigid. She flat out says in camp lines that she gives exactly zero shits about fighting Empire troops, she just doesn't want to kill her classmates. There's also story scenes after the first chapter about happenings in the Alliance and Empire. The Empire one is notable in that it changes if you recruit her, because Hubert comes back and reports that Petra was captured rather than killed, and Edelgard gives an extremely uncomfortable "We'll have to... reconsider... our stance on Brigid" line. I think it’s funny that as part 2 starts up in AG Hapi flat out says that the only reason she’s stuck around is Shez. Who hasn’t done something stupid for a crush like being take as a prisoner in a war and switching sides? Also (big AG spoilers for the end of part 1) i sort of assumed that the core nobles of the empire would be kill or be killed but according to someone in my camp after Ferdie’s lovely evil dad took power Hubert and Ferdie apparently went missing, it would be hella funny if one or both made their way to my camp to help exact their revenge for turning Edie into an Attack on Titan

Lord Koth posted:There IS some eyerolling stuff with Claude though. Again, in the first story interlude in AG there's a cut to what's going on in the Alliance. As imagined, it's going badly. The Empire's already taken most of the borderland with several houses either defecting or declaring neutrality and the class are discussing options. They are extremely concerned about mustering enough troops, given it's basically down to Riegan and Goneril, and someone asks about asking talking to the Kingdom for troops. Claude brings up that the Kingdom is embattled too and might not have troops to spare (fair), but also that he doesn't know what Dimitri's thoughts are and therefore doesn't trust him or is willing to ask. Like, seriously Claude, that's what messengers to open a dialogue are for. You don't have to immediately ask for assistance, but just starting to talk to them to get a feel for their positions probably isn't going to hurt you or your plans. Like, the enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend, but just staring at them suspiciously while you're both fighting the same dangerous opponent isn't some clever strategy. If you have to maintain suspicion in-game, just have some throwaway line about messengers turning up killed or whatever. I advise you to keep playing, the game hears you and will address this soon enough

"If you select a surveying spot where Anna is currently located" could mean another option on that spot like Extra Quests do, or it could mean claiming the rewards from that spot.

My biggest complaints when comparing this game and Age of Calamity: The giant monsters/bosses in this game are massively disappointing compared to the big bosses in HW. Fighting a Hynox or a Lynel for the first time was a massive undertaking in AoC and felt appropriately epic but the first monster you fight here is both too early and wayyyyyyyy too easy, and to be honest I still have yet to meet an enemy that really feels appropriately challenging, aside from the optional Byleth fight in an early mission (which I still managed to beat without anyone dying because I didn’t know it was optional or that it would be that much of a beast). I think the combination of showing the attack areas and the armor breaking trivializes them. in fact I’ve had more instances where my problem getting a monster kill was that I accidentally killed the final general while fighting it than I have monsters where I had to actually fight. Also it feels like there are significantly fewer maps. I’m sure the source material for AoC made it much easier to make maps since they could take environments straight from BotW but in that game pretty much every story mission had a unique map, which added up very quickly since there were 20 story missions, but here it seems like even the end of chapter fights and paralogues might have repeated maps.

Point in Three Hopes’ favor: I never stop being shocked at how fast things load. every single time I finish adjusting my team before a battle and hit start and jump right in I’m like “uh how’d that happen so quickly”PsychoInternetHawk posted:I'm pretty sure AoC's much more detailed and intensive stages are part of why it runs like rear end and this game doesn't Yeah I imagine a lot of the assets they used were probably not meant to be used that much (especially the enemies) and there’s only so much you can optimize before you’re like “well there’s nothing more I can do”
