I am on chapter 6, Alear is level 7, and has failed to gain strength in every level she has had.

Someone free me from this cursed existence. :negative:

That's a nice callback I was not expecting to see.

I don't remember, does Soren ever get to find out his own backstory or is it all cutscenes of people musing offscreen about "that guy looked familiar, could he be... nah".

I know one part involves making him fight his own mother in a type matchup that would almost certainly get him killed unless you're carefully doing it on purpose because you heard it did something.

More or less. A lot of Soren's backstory is reading between the lines and viewing conversations with people while Soren is not present. Ike and Micaiah kinda find out a few things while talking with Almedha, Soren's biological mother. But Soren himself never gets the explicit truth that he's Ashnard's son told to him. Also, I don't believe you ever fight Almedha, since she's depowered and cannot transform into her dragon form due to loving Ashnard. You might be thinking of yeeting Pelleas at Soren, which requires a NG+ run to even attempt because saving Pelleas is locked behind NG+.

How does Kagetsu talk in the Japanese version

Like, is he still the Foreign Guy

He is voiced by Takehito Koyasu, so that should give you some idea of how he sounds.

a cute detail about that is that koyasu's son does some minor background stuff in this game, like generic enemies and the fashion store shopkeep

That is a cute detail.

I look forward to the day when we can witness a father-son ham duel from them.

Is there a best time to do the dlc paralogues? I'm thinking I want to wait until Solm, so I'll get all the people I want to use, but I could go earlier.

There is no real "best time" to do the DLC paralogues, you can do them whenever you want to. Just keep in mind that like in Fates, they scale to your army's strength. So some of them can go from manageable/mediocre to very spicy because you're now facing promoted enemies across the board.

On the other hand, having the DLC Emblems as you go into chapter 10/11 does soften the blow of losing the original six Emblems/patch up some missing proficiency areas (e.g., Soren will be your best option for knives due to losing Leif).

Watching too much anime has told me not to trust people with faces like Louis. There is always something much darker behind that smile.

He does open his eyes a couple of times, such as if you pair him with Hector and activate Storm's Eye. Although I think that's a case of the final pose of the activation animation making Louis open his eyes rather him doing it naturally, because he begins the animation with his eyes closed.

It isn't even birth family vs adopted family because Corrin's only blood relative is assassinated (by them, unwittingly) before the split or always joins in with them.

Its first adopted family vs second adopted family

The game also chooses to have nearly all dialogue between Corrin and the Hoshidan siblings come off like Mikoto is their biological mother instead of just being Corrin's mother (and by extension, their stepmother). Ikona, the actual biological mother of the Hoshidan siblings, is practically stuffed into the Phantom Zone and you only find out her name via the Records Hall or through...Ryoma's A support with Corrin, IIRC.

I am kind of curious when the best time to do it in a fresh run would be. It seems like doing it as soon as it unlocks would be incredibly sketchy, because even with fixed levels and inventories, you still want a decent collection of Emblems and skills. But if you do it too late you don�t have time to play with the new stuff. Maybe right after the Solm arc? That gives you six strong Emblems plus whatever DLC Emblems you�ve picked up, you have most of the characters available, and you still have enough game left between the remainder of the main story + paralogues to mess around with the added characters and classes.

The one issue is that recruiting the DLC characters immediately sets everything outside of main story maps to level 20 promoted, because that is the level the DLC units arrive as and thus, due to how level scaling works in this game, means the game will now think your entire army is level 20 promoted and scale everything else to accommodate. This also means that you'd have to clean up all the DLC Emblems' paralogues and any Emblem Ring paralogues before jumping into the Fell Xenologue, unless you want those maps to become more challenging/annoying.

So yeah, during or right after Solm would be a reasonable time to attempt the Fell Xenologue. I'd wager that waiting until Seadall is recruited would be the absolute best time because you have a dancer and at least have Corrin around to abuse Dragon Veins.
