>Sothis and Rhea in camp in ng+. I'm mean who wouldn't go to the expedition with them
in canon it wouldnt make sense since Rhea is in Seiros form, and only Byleth can see Sothis. But ngl, it would be heavily based if a DLC added a byleth DLC and you can take Sothis out on picnics as him
yeah but thats like gameplay. Theres no in lore reason for speaking to Seiros unless shes dressed up for some reason or Sothis since no one knows shes alive
It has to do with Three Hopes being fricking Koeicuck trash just like Persona Strikers the mainline games had romance but Koeicucks remove it cause they're cucks same with FE
>a fricking sexless virgin
Petra, Constance and possibly Lysithea are clearly interested in Shez
It doesn't fricking matter if they're interested O MUH SUBTEXT frick off with subtext go suck a subwiener fricking virgins
its called the friendzone. Commonly not shown in anime but exists all the same.

having romance for a spin-off game would just cheapen the 3 house and persona romances since it'll just be a bootleg, skimmed version of it. This game especially, since the protagonist isn't even the same one.

When I played AM every ending I remember trying to get fell apart because fujo energy put Sylvain and Felix together, except for Mercedes and Dimitri which to me cements it as canon
Why the frick is the fortune teller so fricking expensive? I does literally nothing in the game itself but still costs more rep than you can get in a single run.
Rhea and Sothis have unused generic conversational lines so I wouldn't be surprised if they added some content where you can interact with them somehow
also, Rhea has "level up (prologue)" and "praise (Cyril)" lines. church route DLC?
maybe some type of Byleth-centric DLC? Unless they give some bullshit reason for Shez to be able to converse with someone's psyche. Then again, Sothis had tea-times in houses that they never implemented either
Church route DLC would make sense considering what characters are missing. Each one is at least Church + possibly other allegiance. Rhea (Archbishop) is different from the Saint Seiros form we have "playable" in the useless, shitty record mode
I don't agree. He has pretty good stats and his ZR prolongs the combos and/or breaks guards. He's probably worse than Felix, Dimitri, Shez or Catherine, but he's very fine. Flayn is also great, but needs positioning.
>Started Scarlet Blaze after finishing Azure Gleam >Caspar is a Wyvern Lord and not a Brawler/War Master
Huh? The added gloves on his outfit and his father having those fist weapons really made me think he'd go that route I also realise I don't like Edelgard, but I'm not sure if Claude's route is any better or just Blue Lions V1.5 again
Anyone playing with Eng dub? I checked some youtube video showing all the unique interactions during special attacks and man, what the frick were they thinking with Dimitri's voice, actor does this incredibly fake-sounding deep voice and it's so fricking cringy. Is this shit common? Do people enjoy that?
Do you guys swap around playable units in battle a lot or just stick to using one? I feel like I should do the former to level combat art/magic and get more even exp distribution but it fricks over my micromanagement.
I swap. I think S-rank is balanced around swapping.
You send people to fight guys they're good against, go and beat up first group then tell your guy to go to next place and then swap to someone who's already engaging. Rince and repeat.
Just finished Azure Moon, what the frick happened to that Thales Black person, he was the one who captured Rhea wasn't he? The ending cutscene says she just got let out of the jail, I thought she would have been getting experimented on to turn into some abomination. And why is the fact that she's a dragon just glossed over? This was my first route btw. What order should I have been doing them in?
>What order should I have been doing them in?
Azure Moon>Silver Snow>Cindered Shadows>Verdant Wind>Crimson Flower>Scarlet Blaze>Golden Wildfire>Azure Gleam
You're being set up, the recommended order is reverse.
It's decent, but in case of Hopes I'd recommend starting with Azure Gleam unless you know you like musous. You might get burnt out after you finish your first route.
Also am I supposed to do a NG+ or start a new save?
It's decent, but in case of Hopes I'd recommend starting with Azure Gleam unless you know you like musous. You might get burnt out after you finish your first route.
You're being set up. Crimson Flower and Silver Snow have the same beginning, so it's not a good idea to play them back-to-back. Similarly, Silver Snow and Verdant Wind have the same ending, so avoiding them one after another is advisable. Crimson Flower is also unfinished, so it's a good idea to start with that since you don't know what you're missing out on.
The final permutation for Houses, then, is:
Crimson Flower (doing Cindered Shadows once Byleth gets the Sword of the Creator)->Verdant Wind->Azure Moon->Silver Snow
Note that in Silver Snow, you don't have a lord, making it the most-difficult route and well worth having saved up on renown for doing a Maddening run for your final time playing the game, unless you so decide to do a fresh NG Maddening run to change the main menu's color.
For Hopes, the issue here is that you're expected to run the game six times due to a massive story-changing event halfway through each route. As such, it doesn't particularly matter how you run through these, but you could just do what you did in Houses:
Edelgard->Claude->Dimitri
This works out well because Azure Gleam is far and beyond the best story route in Hopes.
>This works out well because Azure Gleam is far and beyond the best story route in Hopes.
i would advise he played it first then so as not to get burnt out by the circus that are sb and gw
>Crimson Flower is also unfinished, so it's a good idea to start with that since you don't know what you're missing out on.
I actually disagree, I've seen way to many people start here and then never touch the game again because they "already finished it" and let's be honest it's the worst story in 3H if anything it should be the last to tackle but I do agree leaving SS and CF separated is a good idea so maybe take breaks between runs to cleanse yourself before tackling VW and CF

This order doesn't have what you're talking about though.
They amped it up a bit in Hopes.
Her Balthus support has her get annoyed that he didn't ask her about her taste in woman.
Her Leonie paralogue is about a formar woman employer who apparently was "interested" in her but Shamir didn't reciprocate.
>Can only unlock the renown units on New Game+ and not just regular New Game
I know it's a moronic thing to complain about but I like going through the class leveling again on a fresh save. Guess I'll just have to do my third playthrough on New Game+ to play with those extra units and pray to God I'm not missing any content for getting all three routes on a single savefile
Isn't that just supports, and not the actual class progress? If so, looks like I fricked up
I think that's how you unlock gatekeeper so you'll at least miss out on that.
>Spoiler
Whelp, guess I'll have to redo my Edel route
To be fair, you can just meme/headcanon that Shez have been powerleveling himself over the past at least few years he's been a merc.
While true, I recruited every possible unit in my first route, so now I just have a couple of characters I've never played before be max class already because I trained them constantly in that playthrough.
I'll just have another go at it on my NG+ file then, cheers anons!

No, Jeritza is too mindbroken by that point. It's better to recruit Mercie in SB when there's still plenty of time to heal him.
Three Hopes was too boring. They should have added in characters from three other FE games and had them choose a side. e.g Ike siding with Claude
The game is already non-canon as frick so may as well go full in on the insanity. Would have made for some good shitposting.
Crests are also passed with blood transfusions. Cethleann was a combat medic for decades before Cichol told her to cut that out because she was literally going to die from expending too much energy. Her Crest can show up almost anywhere because of it.

Believe it or not, it's a shader crash. You would think that dialogues wouldn't be so heavy when it comes to shaders, but that's why your program collapses sometimes. If you restart your emulator after a crash, you might notice it takes longer for the shaders to recompile. It's as if the emulator shits itself.
He says that a major crest of Cethleann is rare, but there are others that have it when you accuse him of kidnapping her.
Against Seteth he just says there's no recoded one that he knows of, not that there hasn't been any ever.
I'm thankfully not Nick, but Fates is the most moronic because any child unit is canonically made in war time and has your units either fighting while with child or has peaced out for a bit to give birth in the hyperbolic time chamber for a bit. Awakening had the excuse of it being future kids who came into the plot before most of them were born.

>Do I need to prepare or do something ahead of time like in the base game?
The only thing that comes to mind is secret abilities for each character that require you to master a class branch they do not excell at. It's different for everyone >How do you even recruit other people?
some will join as story progresses. Other you can recruit in battles. no preparation required, aside from choosing the corresponsing strategy before the battle >Can you recruit other people at all
yes, but its not as universal like in 3h
Archer on whoever gets armsthrift
Brigand on whoever gets wild abandon
Wyvern Rider on whoever gets offensive tactics
All the mage/priest sets to get the full spell lists
Cavalier and Thief lines when I want to have fun
I made everyone who could get spendthrift go archer, made everyone with an elemental component go warlock to get the element up skill. I believe I'm making Sylvain a mortal savant to get dual assault (I can't remember off the top of my head if he actually gets that).
It's hard to point to one specifically, but one that comes to mind is him saying that invading Faerghus is justified because of a war that happened 300 years ago.
He goes full Edelgard at one point and it's fricking hilarious. Worst part is he drags Dimitri down with him. >blames Fodlan's political problems on the church, when Almyra has it's own political problems >says the Church prevents contact with foreigners when he's literally right there, not being oppressed, and the church has MORE FOREIGNERS ON THEIR SIDE than he does >blames crests for nobles being dicks when HIS COUNTRY HAS MANY CRESTLESS NOBLES that are buttholes >Dimitri agrees with him despite that the church "suppresses foreign contact" despite Lambert being in contact with multiple foreign countries
agrees with him despite that the church "suppresses foreign contact" despite Lambert being in contact with multiple foreign countries
Seriously what the frick did the Hopes writers mean by this?
The Church banning foreign relations thing just came out of nowhere and completely contradicts prior worldbuilding. The same with Claude blaming the Church for Fodlan having bad relations with Dagda, Almyra and Sreng when Houses already established that it was because those three countries are incredibly aggressive and were the ones who actually destroyed their relations with Fodlan.

Honestly, the writing was so shit in Hopes that I would have preferred if some evil ghost macguffin possessed the other house leaders so they led their countries to war against yours. Trying to write a reason for the house leaders to all go to war with eachother while still maintaining the illusion that they were justified in their actions (please buy our merchandice) was a disaster.

>Trying to write a reason for the house leaders to all go to war with eachother while still maintaining the illusion that they were justified in their actions (please buy our merchandice) was a disaster.
I think this point stems from the fact that there's almost no reason for the Kingdom and the Alliance/Federation to go to war
I feel they just don't want the Empire to be seen as the evil ones (which they are) for starting a war but they also don't want to commit to the idea of Claude going against the Kingdom purely out of ambition, so they constantly struggle to imagine some dump reason he justifies attacking what should be his immediate ally
But this problem comes all the way back from 3H so it's not exclusive to 3 Hopes

It was kind of funny in AG part 2 where your army invades the Empire, and the game constantly harps on you to feel bad about it despite the Empire being the one who invaded first. All the Counts and lords you fight talk about how the Empire doesn't deserve this, and they've always been peaceful.

He says it in his support with Claude too, which also happens in Azure Gleam.
It's some of the worst writing in the game. Azure Gleam's entire premise is built on the Tragedy of Duscur, which the devs seem to have forgotten happened during a mission where the Kingdom, the faction with the strongest ties to the Church, was trying to improve their relations with a foreign country. Despite that apparently being against the Church doctrine according to Three Hopes.
It's completely out of place because if you play Azure Gleam you know what the Tragedy of Duscur is and the context of why it happens and then you have that conversation where Dimitri agrees with Claude despite the fact that it completely goes against one of the main plot points of Dimitri's route, that being the context of why Lambert was visiting Duscur in the first place.
"The Church blocks foreign relations and that's why Fodlan hates its neighbours" is probably the most destructive plot point Hopes has tried to force into the lore because it goes against literally everything we know about Fodlan's history. They really fricked up Claude in Hopes.
hopes tried to retcon fodlan lore so that they could make a story where claude fights the church instead of the empire
that's pretty much the beginning and end of it
Everything after the battle with Bergliez in Golden Wildfire is absolute dog shit. From that point on Claude's actions are completely incoherent and he's scheming for the sake of scheming even though he himself will acknowledge his plans are moronic and nonsensical.
>"You see, I want to remove church because they [BLATANT LIES], [BLATANT LIES] and [BLATANT LIES]"
It's honestly starting to drive me insane. They want the church to be some kind of morally gray or evil faction, but instead of actually making them that way they try to gaslight you to think they are.
Not even Dimitri is free from this in Hopes with the constant "I know church sucks but I'm too much of a cuck to oppose them :(" bullshit. It's such shifty writing, they only put bare minimum details to make you project whatever you think about religion on this, or however other media has portrayed it.
yeah in AG he's more of the mind of wanting to help them for moral and political reasons but second guesses himself on the idea that leaving them alone would spare Faerghus of war with the Empire
which is exactly why Rodrigue, Felix and Sylvain's dad say it's pointless since he would be a fool to think Edelgard is gonna stop with the church and not go for the Kingdom next
which she does

The absolute single thing that the writers ACCIDENTALLY did correctly to show that Rhea is not as good of a person as she's thought to be, is something that you'd have to have played Houses for to understand.
After you "awaken" Sothis by beating Byleth nearly to death, Sothis chides Byleth for being a "glove" that refuses to obey the "hand". She then tells them that if they were to sit on her throne, she would totally possess them, which is exactly what happens during the bad endings. In Houses, after Sothis gives up her consciousness so Byleth can escape Zahras, the very first thing Rhea attempts to do is to get Byleth to sit on Sothis' throne. Given how her reaction is one of confusion and despair, since Byleth doesn't get possessed, we can only assume that Rhea, without telling anyone what would happen, was attempting to have Sothis take over Byleth's body by tricking them. That's a legitimately evil action, and it was written into Hopes only accidentally.
Everything else relating to Rhea, though? She's a legitimate saint.

yes. I wanted to play his route first when I bought 3h because i liked his design, but the second he opened his mouth I realized, that i'll have to steel myself for his playthrough, so i did it last
I've just finished part 1 of AG. I feel like the fact that ferdinand retreats in arianrhod instead of dying, only to get shanked offscreen, as well as the fact that you only fight Hubert once on that route, points to cut content. I feel like they clearly wanted to do more with those two (othewrwise why not just kill them when you fight them?), but for some reason that content ended on the cutting room floor.
I didn't think it was cut content, but instead more of a horror aspect to it. The idea that an entire nation can be so easily taken over by an invisible hand is terrifying, and if all of the routes had room for more content, we could've had a boar that was so extremely paranoid about his kingdom that he goes off the deep end just from implications alone. He's already beheading dissenters off-screen; all he needs is a push.
>He's already beheading dissenters off-screen
i don't think that convo points to Dimitri actually. SIlently beheading people and leaving them on the front porch isn't his modus operandi. It's more in line what Yuri would do actually. But Yuri was with the empire at that time. So yeah, I don't know.
The church is pretty fricking evil when you think about the shit they have done. Kinda agree they need to wiped out, but not becuase of the bullshit reason Claude came up with.
There are legitimate reasons to not like the Church of Seiros but Claude's motivations in Golden Wildfire are legitimate schizobabble that contradicts everything the games actually show us.
I mean ya the church has done some fricked up shit, not even getting into the whole thing being a fricking lie and them trying to control the whole of everything with the crest system, but Claude's reason was just funny. There was so many other fricking legitimate reasons they could have gave him to attack the church and they just give him schizobabble
>I know that if the Kingdom falls the Empire will take all its lands and then turn its weapons against us but let's cripple their military and destroy the Knights of Seiros anyway
I genuinely don't understand what the frick they were thinking.
In the balance of power in Fodlan by the end of GW Claude has only made his situation ten times worse.
Edelgard is still going to want to unify Fodlan so destroying the Church was pointless and doesn't remove any justification for war. They even show you it's not about religion in Golden Wildfire itself because it opens with her trying to annex you.
The Knights of Seiros, a powerful ally for him in Verdant Wind, are gone.
The Kingdom have been crippled by the Federation and Empire and have lost the Church.
He's literally just set up the perfect scenario for Edelgard to destroy the Kingdom and then force him to bend the knee/invade him afterwards. There's no geopolitical sense in his actions.
Got to hand it to Edelgard in this one becuase in the Three houses I thought she was a moron. Instead of going full fricking moron she takes out both Those Who Slither in the Dark and the church. Both of them should have been destroyed instead of leaving one around. I never understood why she would keep one of the two around in Three houses when both are bad.
so I haven't played GW and probably never will after what I've seen but what's Claude's idea here?
is he saying he's happy Fodlan is gonna be reunified or he's like "ah shit we are gonna have to fight the Empire soon"
He wants to end the war "on his own terms" which means defeating the Kingdom and killing Rhea whilst not letting the Empire take control of the Kingdom so that the Empire, the Kingdom and the Federation all remain separate countries. He wants to keep status quo before the war but without the Church. But his actions are moronic because all he ends up doing is putting the Empire in a stronger position to take over Fodlan.
He tries to suggest the idea that maybe without the Church Edelgard will lose her reason to fight and will end the war but even he admits that that's delusional and she will want to unify Fodlan.
Golden Wildfire's writing post-military pact with the Empire is completely shit and just revolves around Claude knowing he's making the worst decisions possible but still doing them anyway for some loose justification that the Church is to blame for everything. They wanted a route where he sides with Edelgard but the way Fodlan is set up it makes no sense for him to do that so they just started making shit up and not caring if it made no sense.
It's so dumb. You can even tell him that removing the Church won't stop Edelgard trying to conquer Fodlan and he will agree with you but then continue with his plan of killing Rhea anyway, which ends up lining the dominoes in a way where Edelgard can now very easily conquer Fodlan.
The player can tell he's making bad decisions, they let you tell him that he's making bad decisions, THEY MAKE HIM ADMIT HE'S MAKING BAD DECISIONS, but he does it anyway. It's awfully written. Everything after the Bergliez chapter is shit.

Claude is trying to set himself up as a cross-continental emperor. He had the shit beaten out of him as a kid, he’s not particularly strong (he needs to use a bow and a dragon while Dimitri and Edelgard can just break down walls like they’re paper), he’s a mutt who can’t properly identify with either ancestry, and he thinks he’s extremely intelligent when he’s actually a liar and a cheat. His ego is just as big as his persecution complex. Every dialogue he has, he guilt-trips people who try to accuse him of being moronic, just to get his way.
Rhea is another powerful figurehead, but has the smallest army, so he wants to kill the weakest player in the game before moving on to remove Dimitri and Edelgard to become the Emperor of a United Almyra and Fodlan. It’s why he promotes an egalitarian society while also making himself a monarch. It’s total horse shit.

It’s supposed to, but Claude has no feats to back that up. In Houses, Edelgard mentions she never had issues with heavy armor, axes, and shields despite her size because of her Crest, and Dimitri was forced to run mountains in full-dress at night while also lifting stagecoaches with his bare hands because of his. We know they’re stupidly powerful. Claude “just” has great accuracy and balance, better than me for sure, and maybe Failnaught has a 500lb draw, but he doesn’t have the feats to show it.

From an outsider's perspective the Church is obviously corrupt and engages in some shady practices (no "good" Church has a standing military). But that's not enough reason to want to take Rhea out. He just wants to do it because for a power grab in Fodlan. He'll eventually move onto Dimitri and Edelgard too whenever he gets the chance. His ending in Azure Gleam makes it clear he won't stop until he wins or is dead.

Three Hopes tries to retcon the lore and claim that Fodlan's foreign relations are bad because of the Church even though this contradicts everything you learn about Fodlan's foreign relations from Three Houses and completely contradicts the event that is central to Azure Gleam.
Ostensibly the only reason he’s raising tensions is to be in a position where Leicester -must- accept Almyran help, and use their sheer numbers to fight against the Empire’s size. None of this is suggested by in-game dialogue, so I’m pulling it out of my ass. But even if that were true, it would mean that Claude has been lying out his ass the entire time about being open and trusting with his subordinates.
Claude's objectives during GW are constantly changing. >at first he doesn't want to participate, he's only defending the Alliance territories from an Imperial invasion attempt >then he wants to capture some Imperial territory >then he decide he doesn't want to anymore >then he makes a pact with Edelgard (4 month after her invasion attempt) >because of this pact, he wants to invade the Kingdom, but while also double-crossing the Empire >then he no longer wants to double cross the Empire, he in fact, decides to save Edelgard when her army is in its weakest position since the begining of the war >he goes all the way to Fhirdiad, knowing Rhea is most likely not there >he's about to start a siege of the capital, knowing that it will lead to the defeat of the Kingdom, and the annexion of all its territories by the Empire and the Federation >but he has to back down because of some bandit outburst >only then does he only wants to take down Rhea and have the Kingdom survive
The route would have been better if he actually did kill Bergliez and took his land, then made a pact with Edelgard that also forced her to recognise Bergliez as Federation territory, then with her help he then takes land from the Kingdom too.
It should have been full pragmatism where he makes the Federation into the new equivalent of the Empire's power by switching allegiances and taking land from both of the other factions.

Golden Wildfire should have left Fodlan looking like this.
Claude successfully takes the Empire land he wanted and then effectively bisects the country, crippling their ability to wage war.
This would then make Edelgard reliant on Claude, where he could make a pact with her to then attack and gut the Kingdom's fertile land too.
Edelgard would be forced to acknowledge the Federation's new borders in return for his aid destroying the Church.
Claude then takes most of Faerghus's fertile land before rushing the capital to force Rhea out, where he then kills her an ends the Church.
It would be the perfect route for an actual schemer, taking power from everybody and becoming the undisputed economic and military power in Fodlan.

yeah I agree but that would make Claude look evil and we can't have that it's all about the shades of gray and shit you know?

True but it would force them to become reliant on you. In this scenario Claude can keep the countries around but they're effectively permanently reduced to vassals of the Federation.
They change because the situation change. Claude didn’t have years to do research like he did in 3 Houses so he goes with his initial distrust of the church. Garreg Mach had a ton of resources and Byleth was there to instruct him. Kids without good teachers make bad decisions.
It makes sense that he doesn't want to betray Edelgard after the stunt where having Randolph die lead to Byleth killing Judith, but otherwise yeah he should had betrayed her by lying to his troops that Fleche wasn't alone
is Nick the Edelschizo we sometimes get who just reposts old screencaps from 3H, specifically CF and seems to think Rhea is literally the devil and CF is the absolutely unique canon route?
He's been here for a while, he just hasn't had an opportunity to shit on Rhea yet.
I fricking hate that I can recognize posters here now just by the way they type.
I got tricked again, this game sucks.
They dont understand how to use the Musou-formula correctly and put too much shit into the game that requires you to think and make a decision.
If I dont turn of my brain while playing a musou, I eventually realize how awefully repetitive the gameplay is and I stop playing.
The only way a musou can be good is if the decision making is kept to a bare minimum, like pick 1 dude and pick 1 weapon.
depends, if it's just characters talking 3d engine is fine (with the best option being the VN style of character portraits)
2d animation is best for action cutscenes but I completely understand it's expensive so I don't hold it against anyone for not using them
What's with the voice direction in these games? Most of the characters sound fine, even good, but then there's some like Mercedes and Ingrid who just sound fricking awful. Was Ingrid told to sound like a fricking robot or is the VA just THAT bad? Is it some moronic attempt to sound "proper" or "ladylike" or something? Does this reflect in her Japanese performance?
Ingrid has a “standard” seiyuu, who is able to be both excitable and irritated at the drop of a hat, which matches her character. Mercedes’ seiyuu has tremendous “ara ara~” vibes, which matches her character.
English Mercedes was told to sound more aloof and air-headed because of the localizers’ hatred for the mommy archetype, and Ingrid didn’t receive much direction at all, since the director presumed Ingrid is just a c**t and nothing more.
Isn't the leadership just Thales though? And what is their chain of command anyways? You literally take out their main base in VW but they come back anyways.
Thales: Commander
Solon and Cleobulus: Lieutenants
Myson and Kronya, and other named units: Agents
Faceless mooks: Faceless mooks
Epimenides: The smartest Agarthan who ended up in Zahras for whatever reason, who doesn’t have a physical body anymore and instead uploads AI constructs of his consciousness into other people in an attempt to ape Sothis’ magic, which he came to somehow understand despite Seiros performing blood surgery with Sothis’ Crest centuries after his first demise.
The fact of the matter remains that post-Awakening FE has had mediocre to downright bad stories, with only fantastic set pieces sparing most of the criticism. Awakening, for example, has you amnesiac because your future-self tried to possess you, but they didn’t abduct you, nor did they suffer the same fate. That’s a huge story oversight. However, that image of Lucina being such a pathetic nothing when Grima rises in the future timeline is such an emotional shot, along with other emotional scenes, the average story is largely ignored.
Meanwhile, while Shadows of Valentia had awful gameplay because the developers were crazy enough to 1:1 Gaiden’s gameplay, the story completely blew everything for Awakening and Fates (and, in my personal opinion, Houses) out of the water, because it was largely written decades ago by individuals who had a talent for writing.
Hopes is no less a victim of average to just plain bad writing.

What? Grima tried to possess Robin, but it didn't work out and his mom escaped with him to Ylisse. That Grima never got to reincarnate and it's the one from the past travelling to the present that's causing those problems.

Think you got the order wrong man. Wasn't the reason Robin woke up in the field because he was just waking up from the failed bodyjack attempt? His mother fled with him BEFORE they could try

Maybe, but regardless the point is that the Plegians did try to do shit and only after it failed and the past Grima time traveling did they not need Robin anymore.

The alternative is, quite simply, Lucina goes to the past and abducts Robin from Plegia, attempting to abscond them into Ylisse, and starting the events that lead to Emmeryn’s death because, in her future, Plegia no longer exists, so she doesn’t recognize that it’s a separate country, and that by stealing one of their nobility she’s started a massive power conflict and given the Mad King justification to exact revenge on Ylisse.
Yuzu works but the image occasionally freezes and then it crashes
But I'm playing it on integrated Intel graphics so it's a miracle it's so smooth otherwise
At first he's like >Yeah okay I will cooperate but don't use me to convince Empire's populace
Then as the game shows more and more the Empire is fricked up and Edelgard is von Aegir's plaything, he starts to want it brought down and is surprised anyone would support it like Caspar. He doesn't truly give a frick though, he is still doing it in a sleepy, lazy way and would prefer to be left alone. He never whines every fricking waking second like Whorothea and is okay in my book
I still can't handle how much Dorothea b***hes all the goddamn time at every occasion. I liked her in Three Houses and everything, but in Azure Gleam, even fricking Bernadetta feels less like a PoW than her.
So many empire characters are wasted in AG.
Monica should have been killed on her last map.
Ferdinand should have shown up as a braindead Slither solider.
Hubert's body should have been found in a Slither dungeon.
Caspar should have been turned into a Crest beast.
The only conceivable golden route is one where the Central Church is destroyed early on and everyone has to band together to defeat the actually competent Slithers.
The molemen tunnel under the monestary and puppetize Rhea. Slithers start body snatching all of the heads of the Church and using the Knights of Seiros and believer manpower to bring Shambala tech topside. The moles want to draw out the goddess and kill her, so they stick their claws into every region so the three lords have to team up with Byleth-Sothis to save the world.
There's a big cool fight against THE IMMACULATE HUSK, and the player gets to chose the ultimate fate of Shez and Arval.
The actual Golden Route is everyone having one conversation with each other for once, instead of keeping everything bottled up to themselves. I could wax fanfiction here, but to keep it simple the best option is for Shez to join the Knights of Seiros after Alois leaves, of all things.
You join the Knights and successfully help them infiltrate Enbarr to kill Edelgard, except she bribes you with knowledge of where your powers originate. So it’s a repeat of the past with Arundel and Anselma, only this time it’s Shez and Edelgard escaping to the Kingdom to try and find Cornelia, which then gets Dimitri involved. The Church is hunting Edelgard, and then hunts Dimitri when he starts cooperating with her. Meanwhile, Duke Aiger has taken over as head of state, and is pushing hard against Leicester. Cornelia’s, Myson’s, Kronya’s, and perhaps even Solon’s defeats all point to Shambhala being in Leicester, which moves the party over there and gets Claude involved; Edelgard in the shadows, Dimitri publicly as king supporting Leicester against the Empire.
This would make sense, and Jeralt and Byleth could potentially get hired by the Church to go hunt down Shez and Edelgard because mercenaries largely have free reign for movement, provided they aren’t pillaging or breaking laws during transit. It would even give Byleth an opportunity to use the Sword of the Creator since she would have access to the Holy Mausoleum. With Sothis alive and able to warn them that sitting on the throne means full-possession, we would have a fully-powered Byleth that easily shits all over Shez when they fight, satiating the self-inserting Bylethtrannies and putting the Slithers into a position to actually help Shez and find out more about Arval themselves. That also means getting into Shambhala and learning their side of the story.
I don't think that Edelgard could bribe Shez away from a contract. It comes up pretty clearly in Shez's support with Petra that a merc is only as good as their word, and switching sides for profit is a good way to never get a job again.
That’s a fair point. The only argument I can think of is that Arval would influence Shez to seek more about their history, but that might be pushing it. Perhaps that with Edelgard no longer acting as Emperor, Shez would justify letting them live and escaping with her?
Knights infiltrate Enbarr, ok. Why would Edelgard manage to bribe Shez but doesn't just continue her shit but flees her country for no reason when that will destroy all her fricking plans? All that to help Shez find out about something he didn't really care about in any of the stories? Then somehow the weak Knights of Seiros pick a fight against Faerghus despite being pathetically weak in comparison and aren't just immediatelly smacked down when they've lost their only ally. Your idea is almost as bad as those you've responded to, it's out of character and stupid.
Shamir almost succeeded in killing Edelgard in Scarlet Blaze, and only Shez prevented it. The Knights would succeed if Shez was on their side. The Church also has free access to Camulus because Dimitri grants them hospitality, and then later Arianrhod when the situation with the Empire becomes dire. Thanks for the angry ramblings, though.
I really hate how everyone in these threads pretends Rhea is a dindu because she protects the peace/status quo. I'm not an Edelgard tard either but an Alien host forcing your whole country to worship her dead mother and killing people on the low, blocking technology and pissing off all the other countries doesn't really sound good or sustainable even if she was immortal. Eventually the outside would just pull an AoT where they'd have tech to frick up crest tards and Rhea eventually too.
The writers decided Rhea is permanently a dindu when they decided the villain's motivation for killing her is that he wanted to see what happens when she dies
Edeltard becoming the literal tool she always was is a good thing. It made no sense how the slithers didn't have their pet project on a tight lease or even a backup plan in case she turned on them.
the cutscene where you kill her is actually pretty cool. on the other hand when you kill jeralt you have to feel bad for him, you just beat up a crippled old man
What swords are the ones that Shez has during the cutscenes? I know its an Iron Sword, Killing Edge but I can't tell if the other is a Silver Sword or Brave Sword. Also, they didn't even try with some cutscenes, the one where Byleth gets taken over my Sothis for the first time they have the sword Jeralt gives to them, but he actually hasn't given it to them by that time so like how?
So in the SB good end, Claude is helping Edelgard conquer the Kingdom even though Rhea and the Central Church are already defeated. Does that mean he accepted the Alliance is going to be dominated if not straight up absorbed by the Empire? I don't know why else he would continue helping her.
This game is awful, i only play it because I love making my favories overpowered, that's why I like FEH too, its better to just ignore the story because it contraficts itself way too many times.
I wanna play FEH for my favorites but I don't want to sink ANY money into gachashit. Just let me pay $59.99 and let me have the characters I want instead of diceroll pull bullshit.
I mean as far as gachas go FEH is really lenient with giving you stuff
specially at first
but yeah there's inevitably going to be characters you are gonna miss, I love Elise and I still don't have her despite playing for 4 years
>Your father explicitly tells you to be wary of her,
Let's be real, Jeralt doesn't like Rhea because she is his mother-in-law and she tried to fix his drinking problem
to be fair she does cut open a baby and stick a crest stone in its chest. she's not remotely innocent, the issue is that she's a small part of a larger body. rhea represents the church but her actions don't negate all of the good the church does. nor does anything good that rhea does negate the shit system the church helps uphold
They did rewrite history to erase the presence of a people they tried to genocide and generally believe death is the only salvation for anyone who doesn't agree with them.
>generally believe death is the only salvation for anyone who doesn't agree with them.
And they are 100% right because god (real in this universe) is literally on their side, opposing the creator is moronation
God, in this universe, is a fricking Ayylmao and is dead, they're trying to force a revival and see you as naught more but a tool to achieve their ends
>to be fair she does cut open a baby and stick a crest stone in its chest.
you do realise the baby was stillborn and it was a last ditch effort to save him at behest of his mother no less
Well she does basically try to have your mind replaced by Sothis's, which is the only reason she initially cares about you. And her leadership has led to stagnation within Fodlan.
I don't think she's a bad person (which is why I'm kinda disappointed how two out of 3 routes in Hopes make her the big bad), but she's definitely flawed.
Rhea and Edelgard are the same character, with the same motivations. They fail to see just how identical they are, in time, Edelgard will become just like Rhea
Unironically might be Byleth's Nabatean semen. If just blood provides slowed aging and Crest, so should the ejaculation. Female Byleth doesn't have the means to do that and maybe Yuri didn't want to drink her blood, or she didn't figure it out
Rhea doesn't control shit
But she should have
She was so focused on resurrecting Sothis instead of being a proper successor that she let Fodlan get fractured and subverted by molemen
Imagine the Tribunal from Morrowind, but their powers aren't slowly getting cucked out of them by Dagoth Ur and there is no gigachad like Tiber Septim who could rival her coming to invade
the slithers are OP when they're in the background. no one can see them coming unless they reveal themselves to you for some dumb reason. and then they job hard. that's the power of shit writing
In general they're just improvements over advanced classes. The only exception is maybe Gremory since the moveset isn't as good as the previous classes.
Master classes also increase your weapon rank to A, which allows you to use extra combos, even with lower classes.
Gremory felt like shit to play until I tried Gremory Rhea w/ Essence of Fire. I had fun spamming her skill, Bologna, Ragnarok, and Y4X combo. The triple fire beam looks cool but it hits like 3 wet noodles. Nothing can save Gremory's class action.
I mean we could still have a sequel several thousands of years later where God Emperor of all Fodlan Byleth decides the time has come to unify all of the world under a single banner
Call it Fire Emblem: 3 Continents
>Several thousand years later >After the death of Byleth Fódlan turned into bigger shithole then before >Bandits and Neo-Slitherers are everywhere, society is collapsing >Empire, Kingdom, Alliance and Church basically destroyed each other in meaningless wars >Brigid, Albinea, Almyra, Morfis and Sreng battle each other for control over desolated Fódlan
>Rhea had to watch Jeralt getting drunk after every battle and passing out near the monastery for over 300 years
God, imagine how much she was seething when he and Sitri got together
>keep hearing about how moronic Claude is in Three Hopes >huh he doesn't come off as that bad in the Black Eagle route >get to part 2 of Golden Deer route >KING OF THE LEICESTER FEDERATION
the thing I don't get is why the hell everyone goes along with it, there is absolutely nothing you could do to convince me that Lorenz would be in favor of it
the thing I don't get is why the hell everyone goes along with it, there is absolutely nothing you could do to convince me that Lorenz would be in favor of it
Honestly, him becoming king isn't even a bad thing, it's a smart play in a time of war. The roundtable isn't designed to make snap decisions with lives on the line, an issue they've been able to sidestep because House Goneril have appointed themselves as the guardians of the Alliance's shared border with Almyra. The bigger issue is that he goes full moron pursuing a "solution" he knows full well won't actually solve anything. He's perfectly aware that Edelgard's gripes go beyond Rhea and the Church, and he knows Edelgard has no reason to back down just because Rhea is out of the picture. If anything it would only embolden her because one of her two main adversaries is now gone, and Dimitri just lost any and all legitimacy to his claim as king of Faerghus. Claude accomplished his own personal goal and then expected everyone else to just be satisfied with that.
So someone just go ahead and spoil me for Azure Gleam, does fricking Dimitri go boar mode at all or does he just completely get the frick over his autism/schizophrenia and hes just a normal boring ass lord the entire time for his route
I just saw him execute his uncle but he didn't seem cool with it, but the only thing that actually makes Dimitri intresting as a character is that hes a huge schizo the entire time lmao. So does he or doesn't he? If he doesn't I'm just going to skip this route for now and go play Claudes route for now.
Nah, he never goes full edgelord like in Houses. He seems much more competent at straddling the line in Hopes. He's more guilty than anything else, with some very brief edgy moments sprinkled throughout. Right at the very end when he's fighting Thales is when he's probably at his edgiest, and it's nothing close to how bad he gets in Houses.
OMG... she is SO attractive...
Three Hopes is fricking garbage it doesn't have romance or marriage or s supports it's fricking trash Koeicuck devs are morons
>wanting shez to have sex
Cuck.
I want shez to have sex with me

>Sothis and Rhea in camp in ng+. I'm mean who wouldn't go to the expedition with them
in canon it wouldnt make sense since Rhea is in Seiros form, and only Byleth can see Sothis. But ngl, it would be heavily based if a DLC added a byleth DLC and you can take Sothis out on picnics as him
>in canon it wouldn't make sense
In canon it wouldn't make sense if your gatekeeper is running around meat blending people, but you can do that.
yeah but thats like gameplay. Theres no in lore reason for speaking to Seiros unless shes dressed up for some reason or Sothis since no one knows shes alive
Even in canon it would make perfect sense for Arval to be able to go on expeditions with Shez. I mean, he is in the camp already.
How does it make sense in canon for Shez to be a fricking sexless virgin? But it's canon cause there's no fricking romance or s support.
what does that have to do with anything
It has to do with Three Hopes being fricking Koeicuck trash just like Persona Strikers the mainline games had romance but Koeicucks remove it cause they're cucks same with FE
It doesn't fricking matter if they're interested O MUH SUBTEXT frick off with subtext go suck a subwiener fricking virgins
I bet the Koeicuck devs know all about the friendzone LMAO
well its a musou spin-off. If you want the romance just play the main games.
It's a shitty spin off there's no fricking reason to remove big features just cause they're moronic
having romance for a spin-off game would just cheapen the 3 house and persona romances since it'll just be a bootleg, skimmed version of it. This game especially, since the protagonist isn't even the same one.
I don't think you're speaking with an adult. You should probably just let him rant.
>I don't think you're speaking with an adult

Bullshit it just means these games have no fricking point cause it's missing features that's like saying there shouldn't be fricking swords or personas cause the mainline games had those too LMAO fricking dumb ass hell
>romance
romance in persona/fire emblem games are anaemic as shit, so who cares?
>a fricking sexless virgin
Petra, Constance and possibly Lysithea are clearly interested in Shez
And Yuri
its called the friendzone. Commonly not shown in anime but exists all the same.
His name is Shez. No one is dating that name.
no romance = dead game
You can use her in the equivalent of Free Mode, so you can use her in battle.
Golden Wildfire? More like Golden Rain. The only good parts were in Almyra and you spend only 2 missions there. The rest is just horrible writing
She looks like she fricks blonde cavaliers.
When I played AM every ending I remember trying to get fell apart because fujo energy put Sylvain and Felix together, except for Mercedes and Dimitri which to me cements it as canon
>he didn't frick Sylvain
You brought this on yourself.
Why the frick is the fortune teller so fricking expensive? I does literally nothing in the game itself but still costs more rep than you can get in a single run.
Why the frick is Shez such a fricking virgin?
>fortune teller
Who?
The DLC for Houses has a fortune teller that you can pay renown to make sure two characters get their coupled ending. This costs you 10.000 renown.
The DLC for Hopes should add some fricking romance and s supports for Shez so he can stop being a fricking virgin.
Tbhfam it seems like you need that DLC more
Jeralt is literally made for Manuela.
Jeralt would never groom a young girl like Manuela.
Don't resist Jeralt. Don't make me change your job to dancer.

Rhea and Sothis have unused generic conversational lines so I wouldn't be surprised if they added some content where you can interact with them somehow
also, Rhea has "level up (prologue)" and "praise (Cyril)" lines. church route DLC?

thankful
agree/disagree
request

answer
listening (agree/disagree/indifferent)
etc
every character has these lines, but there is no way to interact with Sothis and Rhea to hear theirs. why record them if they're not going to be used?
Do they actually lines for those though? Or is it just place-holder stuff
They are all voiced lines
maybe some type of Byleth-centric DLC? Unless they give some bullshit reason for Shez to be able to converse with someone's psyche. Then again, Sothis had tea-times in houses that they never implemented either
Maybe they'll add romance and s supports in dlc so Shez can stop being a pathetic virgin LMAO
You want to know what's unused? Shez's dick.
You’re telling me she’s trans?
She is the ugliest dyke ever designed
Frick troonytendo
Church route DLC would make sense considering what characters are missing. Each one is at least Church + possibly other allegiance. Rhea (Archbishop) is different from the Saint Seiros form we have "playable" in the useless, shitty record mode
It's a shame that best boy Seteth plays like shit.
I don't agree. He has pretty good stats and his ZR prolongs the combos and/or breaks guards. He's probably worse than Felix, Dimitri, Shez or Catherine, but he's very fine. Flayn is also great, but needs positioning.
I don't have a problem with him personally, but I don't like how wyverns play in this.
Yeah they feel like shit, but you can just make him the Great Knight or Holy/Dark Knight.
Great Knight combos are garbage.
Why did Hilda cry when Dimitri died?

Huh? The added gloves on his outfit and his father having those fist weapons really made me think he'd go that route
I also realise I don't like Edelgard, but I'm not sure if Claude's route is any better or just Blue Lions V1.5 again
It's CF 2.0
Casoar's father gives him sacred weapon gauntlets upon completing his paralogue, not to mention most of the enemies on that map are tomes.
Anyone playing with Eng dub? I checked some youtube video showing all the unique interactions during special attacks and man, what the frick were they thinking with Dimitri's voice, actor does this incredibly fake-sounding deep voice and it's so fricking cringy. Is this shit common? Do people enjoy that?
Do you guys swap around playable units in battle a lot or just stick to using one? I feel like I should do the former to level combat art/magic and get more even exp distribution but it fricks over my micromanagement.
I just CHEESE the game
Dangerously cheesy.
I swap. I think S-rank is balanced around swapping.
You send people to fight guys they're good against, go and beat up first group then tell your guy to go to next place and then swap to someone who's already engaging. Rince and repeat.
I usually just focus the unit I've been ignoring for the last couple of maps and play around 60-70% of the battle with him/her.
Swap but 50% of the time it's Shez or a mage with a defender's tome. Weapon Triangle is more op than people give it credit
Just finished Azure Moon, what the frick happened to that Thales Black person, he was the one who captured Rhea wasn't he? The ending cutscene says she just got let out of the jail, I thought she would have been getting experimented on to turn into some abomination. And why is the fact that she's a dragon just glossed over? This was my first route btw. What order should I have been doing them in?
>What order should I have been doing them in?
Azure Moon>Silver Snow>Cindered Shadows>Verdant Wind>Crimson Flower>Scarlet Blaze>Golden Wildfire>Azure Gleam
Can anyone confirm this or am I being setup?
Nah, that's a decent line up
Also am I supposed to do a NG+ or start a new save?
No reason not to NG+ everytime.
You're being set up, the recommended order is reverse.
It doesn't make sense playing Three Houses after Three Hopes
It doesn't make sense playing Three Hopes at all cause there's no fricking romance or s supports
It's decent, but in case of Hopes I'd recommend starting with Azure Gleam unless you know you like musous. You might get burnt out after you finish your first route.
Arundel was Thales, Dimitri deduces it on the library, I think on the first part
Why didn't he transform then?
I don't think he actually puts together than Arundel is Thales, just that Arundel suddenly changed and is almost certainly connected to Duscur.
You're being set up. Crimson Flower and Silver Snow have the same beginning, so it's not a good idea to play them back-to-back. Similarly, Silver Snow and Verdant Wind have the same ending, so avoiding them one after another is advisable. Crimson Flower is also unfinished, so it's a good idea to start with that since you don't know what you're missing out on.
The final permutation for Houses, then, is:
Crimson Flower (doing Cindered Shadows once Byleth gets the Sword of the Creator)->Verdant Wind->Azure Moon->Silver Snow
Note that in Silver Snow, you don't have a lord, making it the most-difficult route and well worth having saved up on renown for doing a Maddening run for your final time playing the game, unless you so decide to do a fresh NG Maddening run to change the main menu's color.
For Hopes, the issue here is that you're expected to run the game six times due to a massive story-changing event halfway through each route. As such, it doesn't particularly matter how you run through these, but you could just do what you did in Houses:
Edelgard->Claude->Dimitri
This works out well because Azure Gleam is far and beyond the best story route in Hopes.
>This works out well because Azure Gleam is far and beyond the best story route in Hopes.
i would advise he played it first then so as not to get burnt out by the circus that are sb and gw
>Crimson Flower is also unfinished, so it's a good idea to start with that since you don't know what you're missing out on.
I actually disagree, I've seen way to many people start here and then never touch the game again because they "already finished it" and let's be honest it's the worst story in 3H if anything it should be the last to tackle but I do agree leaving SS and CF separated is a good idea so maybe take breaks between runs to cleanse yourself before tackling VW and CF
>crimson flower is unfinished
hey, we call that "ending at a high point" in the three hopes era
>Azure Moon>Silver Snow>Cindered Shadows>Verdant Wind>Crimson Flower
This order doesn't have what you're talking about though.
>you don't actually fight Hegemon at the end
What were they THINKING
Why did they make her a dyke?
How is she a dyke?
They amped it up a bit in Hopes.
Her Balthus support has her get annoyed that he didn't ask her about her taste in woman.
Her Leonie paralogue is about a formar woman employer who apparently was "interested" in her but Shamir didn't reciprocate.
>Her Balthus support has her get annoyed that he didn't ask her about her taste in woman.
To be fair that was a joke.
But I do agree Shamir is definitely bisexual or at the very least straight but also Catherinesexual.

>Can only unlock the renown units on New Game+ and not just regular New Game
I know it's a moronic thing to complain about but I like going through the class leveling again on a fresh save. Guess I'll just have to do my third playthrough on New Game+ to play with those extra units and pray to God I'm not missing any content for getting all three routes on a single savefile
You can do new game plus and choose what carries over and what doesn't.
Isn't that just supports, and not the actual class progress? If so, looks like I fricked up
>Spoiler
Whelp, guess I'll have to redo my Edel route
While true, I recruited every possible unit in my first route, so now I just have a couple of characters I've never played before be max class already because I trained them constantly in that playthrough.
I'll just have another go at it on my NG+ file then, cheers anons!
Everything carries over. Supports, classes, levels, items.
I think that's how you unlock gatekeeper so you'll at least miss out on that.
To be fair, you can just meme/headcanon that Shez have been powerleveling himself over the past at least few years he's been a merc.

Does Ashe get special convos with the rest of the lions for being the only that's a filthy traitor?
he's not the only one. mercedes is a filthy traitor as well. Well, at least they both end up being miserable for it
Mercedes doesn't seem miserable about it. Emile matters more to her than the Kingdom.
I don’t know, the choice definitely seems to be weighing down on her conscience to a certain extent.
She gets over it WAY faster than Ashe. It's clear fairly quickly that she doesn't really care who wins the war, just that the war ends with as little suffering as possible.
>She gets over it WAY faster than Ashe.
How does she react later on in the story?
The best solution is to recruit Jeritza in AG. Mercedes gets her brother back without having to sacrifice her new life.
>let's recruit ted bundy, it will surely go well
no. he's getting a noose
No, Jeritza is too mindbroken by that point. It's better to recruit Mercie in SB when there's still plenty of time to heal him.
During fights ya. Felix calls him a filthy traitor. Ingrid calls him a fake knight. Dimitri just says “well as long you’re alive”

I think Ashe has been spending too much time in Brigid
HILDA! HILDA! HILDA!
Three Hopes was too boring. They should have added in characters from three other FE games and had them choose a side. e.g Ike siding with Claude
The game is already non-canon as frick so may as well go full in on the insanity. Would have made for some good shitposting.
>The game is already non-canon
How?
Bergliez having a major crest of Cichol even though it's a plot point that only Seteth and Flayn have a major crest of Cichol and Cethleann, for one.
Ferdinand has a crest of cichol, moron
>major
Read homie. Ferdinand has a minor crest, same with Linhardt having a minor of Cethleann.
>a minor of Cethleann.
Who did flayn frick???
Crests are also passed with blood transfusions. Cethleann was a combat medic for decades before Cichol told her to cut that out because she was literally going to die from expending too much energy. Her Crest can show up almost anywhere because of it.

Does your game crash after a battle, when there's a ton of dialogue but the save point is way afterwards and you're forced to do a map again?
That's the problem with emulator. It's still relatively unstable and may crash without warning. But I'm using what this anon says
and even if it still crashes, I'm able to play Hopes at around 45 fps, which kinda makes up for it.
Believe it or not, it's a shader crash. You would think that dialogues wouldn't be so heavy when it comes to shaders, but that's why your program collapses sometimes. If you restart your emulator after a crash, you might notice it takes longer for the shaders to recompile. It's as if the emulator shits itself.
Crest are made from blood orgies, anon.
MAJOR crest, learn to read
He says that a major crest of Cethleann is rare, but there are others that have it when you accuse him of kidnapping her.
Against Seteth he just says there's no recoded one that he knows of, not that there hasn't been any ever.
And how would greatest scholar of crests in the world not know about the greatest war general in ages Bergliez?
They should've added romance and s supports
How to have romance when the war never ends and they have to focus on their day to day survival?
Ask Awakening Fates and Three Houses LMAO
Nick, those have peacetime though????
I'm thankfully not Nick, but Fates is the most moronic because any child unit is canonically made in war time and has your units either fighting while with child or has peaced out for a bit to give birth in the hyperbolic time chamber for a bit. Awakening had the excuse of it being future kids who came into the plot before most of them were born.
>characters S-support
>child is born immediately
>throw the child into a literal space rift where they grow up in no time
>go pick them up and make them fight in a war
>also all of Valla
I still can't get over how unspeakably moronic Fates was
The timebubbles not only existing, but being commonly known and being publicly accessible just fricks with the entire narrative of the game.

I just got to the actual base where I can train my units and whatnot. Do I need to prepare or do something ahead of time like in the base game? How do you even recruit other people? Can you recruit other people at all? Also, do I want to bother with other classes at all or do I just follow their recommended classes?
>Do I need to prepare or do something ahead of time like in the base game?
The only thing that comes to mind is secret abilities for each character that require you to master a class branch they do not excell at. It's different for everyone
>How do you even recruit other people?
some will join as story progresses. Other you can recruit in battles. no preparation required, aside from choosing the corresponsing strategy before the battle
>Can you recruit other people at all
yes, but its not as universal like in 3h

What was that like?
Claude being moronic for 50 hours.
so. just like vw then?
Oh yeah, I have heard rumblings about that. Which moment is his absolute worst, if you don’t mind me asking?
It's hard to point to one specifically, but one that comes to mind is him saying that invading Faerghus is justified because of a war that happened 300 years ago.
>him saying that invading Faerghus is justified because of a war that happened 300 years ago.
What?! Did Edelgard brainwash him or something?
He goes full Edelgard at one point and it's fricking hilarious. Worst part is he drags Dimitri down with him.

Dang. Guess everyone drank some of the moronic Kool-Aid this time around.
Kek.
agrees with him despite that the church "suppresses foreign contact" despite Lambert being in contact with multiple foreign countries
Seriously what the frick did the Hopes writers mean by this?
The Church banning foreign relations thing just came out of nowhere and completely contradicts prior worldbuilding. The same with Claude blaming the Church for Fodlan having bad relations with Dagda, Almyra and Sreng when Houses already established that it was because those three countries are incredibly aggressive and were the ones who actually destroyed their relations with Fodlan.
Honestly, the writing was so shit in Hopes that I would have preferred if some evil ghost macguffin possessed the other house leaders so they led their countries to war against yours. Trying to write a reason for the house leaders to all go to war with eachother while still maintaining the illusion that they were justified in their actions (please buy our merchandice) was a disaster.
>Trying to write a reason for the house leaders to all go to war with eachother while still maintaining the illusion that they were justified in their actions (please buy our merchandice) was a disaster.
I think this point stems from the fact that there's almost no reason for the Kingdom and the Alliance/Federation to go to war
I feel they just don't want the Empire to be seen as the evil ones (which they are) for starting a war but they also don't want to commit to the idea of Claude going against the Kingdom purely out of ambition, so they constantly struggle to imagine some dump reason he justifies attacking what should be his immediate ally
But this problem comes all the way back from 3H so it's not exclusive to 3 Hopes
It was kind of funny in AG part 2 where your army invades the Empire, and the game constantly harps on you to feel bad about it despite the Empire being the one who invaded first. All the Counts and lords you fight talk about how the Empire doesn't deserve this, and they've always been peaceful.
>where your army invades the Empire, and the game constantly harps on you to feel bad about it despite the Empire being the one who invaded first.
wait are you serious? I'm playing AG at the moment but haven't reached this part
why would I feel anything other than righteous fury at attacking the capital of the buttholes that started this war in the first place?
If you kill your enemies, they win
frick off Rose
The israelite cries out in pain as he strikes you.
hopes tried to retcon fodlan lore so that they could make a story where claude fights the church instead of the empire
that's pretty much the beginning and end of it
Everything after the battle with Bergliez in Golden Wildfire is absolute dog shit. From that point on Claude's actions are completely incoherent and he's scheming for the sake of scheming even though he himself will acknowledge his plans are moronic and nonsensical.
I don't understand why Claude is so fricking bloodthirsty, is it an Almyran thing?
>why is a sand Black person from a culture that glorifies wanton slaughter bloodthirsty?
dunno
>"You see, I want to remove church because they [BLATANT LIES], [BLATANT LIES] and [BLATANT LIES]"
It's honestly starting to drive me insane. They want the church to be some kind of morally gray or evil faction, but instead of actually making them that way they try to gaslight you to think they are.
Not even Dimitri is free from this in Hopes with the constant "I know church sucks but I'm too much of a cuck to oppose them :(" bullshit. It's such shifty writing, they only put bare minimum details to make you project whatever you think about religion on this, or however other media has portrayed it.
>with the constant "I know church sucks but I'm too much of a cuck to oppose them
isn't he like this only in gw, aka 'claude's fanfiction"?
yeah in AG he's more of the mind of wanting to help them for moral and political reasons but second guesses himself on the idea that leaving them alone would spare Faerghus of war with the Empire
which is exactly why Rodrigue, Felix and Sylvain's dad say it's pointless since he would be a fool to think Edelgard is gonna stop with the church and not go for the Kingdom next
which she does
The support between Dimitri and Claude where he goes "yeah I agree with your nonsense" also happens in AG.
He says it in his support with Claude too, which also happens in Azure Gleam.
It's some of the worst writing in the game. Azure Gleam's entire premise is built on the Tragedy of Duscur, which the devs seem to have forgotten happened during a mission where the Kingdom, the faction with the strongest ties to the Church, was trying to improve their relations with a foreign country. Despite that apparently being against the Church doctrine according to Three Hopes.
It's completely out of place because if you play Azure Gleam you know what the Tragedy of Duscur is and the context of why it happens and then you have that conversation where Dimitri agrees with Claude despite the fact that it completely goes against one of the main plot points of Dimitri's route, that being the context of why Lambert was visiting Duscur in the first place.
"The Church blocks foreign relations and that's why Fodlan hates its neighbours" is probably the most destructive plot point Hopes has tried to force into the lore because it goes against literally everything we know about Fodlan's history. They really fricked up Claude in Hopes.
I see, I haven't reached that part yet. Guess I'll be skipping on the support then and pretend that shit doesn't exist
The absolute single thing that the writers ACCIDENTALLY did correctly to show that Rhea is not as good of a person as she's thought to be, is something that you'd have to have played Houses for to understand.
After you "awaken" Sothis by beating Byleth nearly to death, Sothis chides Byleth for being a "glove" that refuses to obey the "hand". She then tells them that if they were to sit on her throne, she would totally possess them, which is exactly what happens during the bad endings. In Houses, after Sothis gives up her consciousness so Byleth can escape Zahras, the very first thing Rhea attempts to do is to get Byleth to sit on Sothis' throne. Given how her reaction is one of confusion and despair, since Byleth doesn't get possessed, we can only assume that Rhea, without telling anyone what would happen, was attempting to have Sothis take over Byleth's body by tricking them. That's a legitimately evil action, and it was written into Hopes only accidentally.
Everything else relating to Rhea, though? She's a legitimate saint.
but rhea invited the students to watch.
in her defense she thought byleth was an autistic golem. She later admits she was wrong and apologized
byleth IS an autistic golem
she was 100% justified.
Byleth is autistic only because Jeralt was too drunk to read the "Parenting for dummies" book(written by Saint Cichol) that Sitri bought for him
Austic golem rights are human rights!
>autistic golem
see this is why men in their 300s shouldn't have children, thats the true moral of the story

Claudebros…
Looks like we were the demons all along…
I give you Claublin
I've just finished part 1 of AG. I feel like the fact that ferdinand retreats in arianrhod instead of dying, only to get shanked offscreen, as well as the fact that you only fight Hubert once on that route, points to cut content. I feel like they clearly wanted to do more with those two (othewrwise why not just kill them when you fight them?), but for some reason that content ended on the cutting room floor.
Understandable when they split the game into 3 routes that can take up to 50 hours each to complete. I hope the next FE has a more linear story.
I didn't think it was cut content, but instead more of a horror aspect to it. The idea that an entire nation can be so easily taken over by an invisible hand is terrifying, and if all of the routes had room for more content, we could've had a boar that was so extremely paranoid about his kingdom that he goes off the deep end just from implications alone. He's already beheading dissenters off-screen; all he needs is a push.
>He's already beheading dissenters off-screen
i don't think that convo points to Dimitri actually. SIlently beheading people and leaving them on the front porch isn't his modus operandi. It's more in line what Yuri would do actually. But Yuri was with the empire at that time. So yeah, I don't know.

someone post the clown Claude edit
I hate that smug frick Hubert so damn much, I want to rape Edelgard in front of him
Speaking of 3 houses. Thales attacks and captures Rhea. Why doesn't he just kill her? How doesn't he know where she is?
The church is pretty fricking evil when you think about the shit they have done. Kinda agree they need to wiped out, but not becuase of the bullshit reason Claude came up with.
There are legitimate reasons to not like the Church of Seiros but Claude's motivations in Golden Wildfire are legitimate schizobabble that contradicts everything the games actually show us.
I mean ya the church has done some fricked up shit, not even getting into the whole thing being a fricking lie and them trying to control the whole of everything with the crest system, but Claude's reason was just funny. There was so many other fricking legitimate reasons they could have gave him to attack the church and they just give him schizobabble
>I know that if the Kingdom falls the Empire will take all its lands and then turn its weapons against us but let's cripple their military and destroy the Knights of Seiros anyway
only If I get to KILL RHEA
I genuinely don't understand what the frick they were thinking.
In the balance of power in Fodlan by the end of GW Claude has only made his situation ten times worse.
Edelgard is still going to want to unify Fodlan so destroying the Church was pointless and doesn't remove any justification for war. They even show you it's not about religion in Golden Wildfire itself because it opens with her trying to annex you.
The Knights of Seiros, a powerful ally for him in Verdant Wind, are gone.
The Kingdom have been crippled by the Federation and Empire and have lost the Church.
He's literally just set up the perfect scenario for Edelgard to destroy the Kingdom and then force him to bend the knee/invade him afterwards. There's no geopolitical sense in his actions.
The argarthans are still alive too. They are free to mind control Edelgard, free Nemesis, and nuke Fodlan.
>nuke fodlan
there should be a 4th path where we convince them to nuke almyra
Do you think they'd just be peaceful again if they got to take over Almyra after murdering all of them? It'd be like two birds with one stone.
>Do you think they'd just be peaceful again
agarthans were never peaceful. morons literally nukes themselves
A problem that solves itself then, in the long run.
Got to hand it to Edelgard in this one becuase in the Three houses I thought she was a moron. Instead of going full fricking moron she takes out both Those Who Slither in the Dark and the church. Both of them should have been destroyed instead of leaving one around. I never understood why she would keep one of the two around in Three houses when both are bad.
so I haven't played GW and probably never will after what I've seen but what's Claude's idea here?
is he saying he's happy Fodlan is gonna be reunified or he's like "ah shit we are gonna have to fight the Empire soon"
He wants to end the war "on his own terms" which means defeating the Kingdom and killing Rhea whilst not letting the Empire take control of the Kingdom so that the Empire, the Kingdom and the Federation all remain separate countries. He wants to keep status quo before the war but without the Church. But his actions are moronic because all he ends up doing is putting the Empire in a stronger position to take over Fodlan.
He tries to suggest the idea that maybe without the Church Edelgard will lose her reason to fight and will end the war but even he admits that that's delusional and she will want to unify Fodlan.
Golden Wildfire's writing post-military pact with the Empire is completely shit and just revolves around Claude knowing he's making the worst decisions possible but still doing them anyway for some loose justification that the Church is to blame for everything. They wanted a route where he sides with Edelgard but the way Fodlan is set up it makes no sense for him to do that so they just started making shit up and not caring if it made no sense.
>that image
holy shit he really is moronic isn't he?
this reads like it finally dawning on him his plan was dump and he fricked up things for everyone
It's so dumb. You can even tell him that removing the Church won't stop Edelgard trying to conquer Fodlan and he will agree with you but then continue with his plan of killing Rhea anyway, which ends up lining the dominoes in a way where Edelgard can now very easily conquer Fodlan.
The player can tell he's making bad decisions, they let you tell him that he's making bad decisions, THEY MAKE HIM ADMIT HE'S MAKING BAD DECISIONS, but he does it anyway. It's awfully written. Everything after the Bergliez chapter is shit.
>The player can tell he's making bad decisions, they let you tell him that he's making bad decisions, THEY MAKE HIM ADMIT HE'S MAKING BAD DECISIONS, but he does it anyway. It's awfully written. Everything after the Bergliez chapter is shit.
why does he have such a murderboner for the Churh anyway? with Edelgard I can at least understand but Claude why?
Claude is trying to set himself up as a cross-continental emperor. He had the shit beaten out of him as a kid, he’s not particularly strong (he needs to use a bow and a dragon while Dimitri and Edelgard can just break down walls like they’re paper), he’s a mutt who can’t properly identify with either ancestry, and he thinks he’s extremely intelligent when he’s actually a liar and a cheat. His ego is just as big as his persecution complex. Every dialogue he has, he guilt-trips people who try to accuse him of being moronic, just to get his way.
Rhea is another powerful figurehead, but has the smallest army, so he wants to kill the weakest player in the game before moving on to remove Dimitri and Edelgard to become the Emperor of a United Almyra and Fodlan. It’s why he promotes an egalitarian society while also making himself a monarch. It’s total horse shit.
>not particularly strong
Doesn't a crest give you huge gains?
It’s supposed to, but Claude has no feats to back that up. In Houses, Edelgard mentions she never had issues with heavy armor, axes, and shields despite her size because of her Crest, and Dimitri was forced to run mountains in full-dress at night while also lifting stagecoaches with his bare hands because of his. We know they’re stupidly powerful. Claude “just” has great accuracy and balance, better than me for sure, and maybe Failnaught has a 500lb draw, but he doesn’t have the feats to show it.
Claude has a crest? I didn't even realize. I always thought Hilda was his lapdog due to her gorilla strength.
Anon please, the only reason he got into the Riegan house was because he had a crest even though he was a mutt.
Excellent rundown on Claude
It's too bad it's just a fanfic. They would never be based enough to make a character like that
>why does he have such a murderboner for the Churh anyway?
From an outsider's perspective the Church is obviously corrupt and engages in some shady practices (no "good" Church has a standing military). But that's not enough reason to want to take Rhea out. He just wants to do it because for a power grab in Fodlan. He'll eventually move onto Dimitri and Edelgard too whenever he gets the chance. His ending in Azure Gleam makes it clear he won't stop until he wins or is dead.
This
Claude is a huge c**t in Hopes, it's completely different to Houses where he'll bow out and just work on Almyra instead
I mean shit in Azure Moon he leaves on amicable terms with Dimitri whereas in Azure Gleam he basically says that he will attack you eventually
Muslims don't like Irish churches.
Reminder that the deal with Shahid was a big scheme by Claude to make you buy his game, even though Almyra is only on two maps :^)
Three Hopes tries to retcon the lore and claim that Fodlan's foreign relations are bad because of the Church even though this contradicts everything you learn about Fodlan's foreign relations from Three Houses and completely contradicts the event that is central to Azure Gleam.
Ostensibly the only reason he’s raising tensions is to be in a position where Leicester -must- accept Almyran help, and use their sheer numbers to fight against the Empire’s size. None of this is suggested by in-game dialogue, so I’m pulling it out of my ass. But even if that were true, it would mean that Claude has been lying out his ass the entire time about being open and trusting with his subordinates.
>trying to use intimidation on Dimitri
Claude's objectives during GW are constantly changing.
>at first he doesn't want to participate, he's only defending the Alliance territories from an Imperial invasion attempt
>then he wants to capture some Imperial territory
>then he decide he doesn't want to anymore
>then he makes a pact with Edelgard (4 month after her invasion attempt)
>because of this pact, he wants to invade the Kingdom, but while also double-crossing the Empire
>then he no longer wants to double cross the Empire, he in fact, decides to save Edelgard when her army is in its weakest position since the begining of the war
>he goes all the way to Fhirdiad, knowing Rhea is most likely not there
>he's about to start a siege of the capital, knowing that it will lead to the defeat of the Kingdom, and the annexion of all its territories by the Empire and the Federation
>but he has to back down because of some bandit outburst
>only then does he only wants to take down Rhea and have the Kingdom survive
The route would have been better if he actually did kill Bergliez and took his land, then made a pact with Edelgard that also forced her to recognise Bergliez as Federation territory, then with her help he then takes land from the Kingdom too.
It should have been full pragmatism where he makes the Federation into the new equivalent of the Empire's power by switching allegiances and taking land from both of the other factions.
Golden Wildfire should have left Fodlan looking like this.
Claude successfully takes the Empire land he wanted and then effectively bisects the country, crippling their ability to wage war.
This would then make Edelgard reliant on Claude, where he could make a pact with her to then attack and gut the Kingdom's fertile land too.
Edelgard would be forced to acknowledge the Federation's new borders in return for his aid destroying the Church.
Claude then takes most of Faerghus's fertile land before rushing the capital to force Rhea out, where he then kills her an ends the Church.
It would be the perfect route for an actual schemer, taking power from everybody and becoming the undisputed economic and military power in Fodlan.
yeah I agree but that would make Claude look evil and we can't have that it's all about the shades of gray and shit you know?
They were already trying to make him look morally grey they just did it really badly.
Taking all of the kingdom's fertile land is pure cruelty
True but it would force them to become reliant on you. In this scenario Claude can keep the countries around but they're effectively permanently reduced to vassals of the Federation.
They change because the situation change. Claude didn’t have years to do research like he did in 3 Houses so he goes with his initial distrust of the church. Garreg Mach had a ton of resources and Byleth was there to instruct him. Kids without good teachers make bad decisions.
It makes sense that he doesn't want to betray Edelgard after the stunt where having Randolph die lead to Byleth killing Judith, but otherwise yeah he should had betrayed her by lying to his troops that Fleche wasn't alone
Ok, everyone, pack it up. Nick has woken up
is Nick the Edelschizo we sometimes get who just reposts old screencaps from 3H, specifically CF and seems to think Rhea is literally the devil and CF is the absolutely unique canon route?
yes. For some reason Rhea and Dimitri make him seethe with the force of a thousand suns
gotchu, gotta put him on the hall of anal devastation alongside Eric aka Blundergay
Dimitri poor guy gets super fricked hard and is a really nice king, but Rhea done some pretty evil shit over the years.
He's been here for a while, he just hasn't had an opportunity to shit on Rhea yet.
I fricking hate that I can recognize posters here now just by the way they type.

I got tricked again, this game sucks.
They dont understand how to use the Musou-formula correctly and put too much shit into the game that requires you to think and make a decision.
If I dont turn of my brain while playing a musou, I eventually realize how awefully repetitive the gameplay is and I stop playing.
The only way a musou can be good is if the decision making is kept to a bare minimum, like pick 1 dude and pick 1 weapon.
Which one do you prefer: 2d animated cutscenes, or 3d engine cutscenes?
depends, if it's just characters talking 3d engine is fine (with the best option being the VN style of character portraits)
2d animation is best for action cutscenes but I completely understand it's expensive so I don't hold it against anyone for not using them
I prefer the 2D animated cutscenes from Shadows of Valentia.
Man, Echoes was such a great looking game.
Shame that the game itself wasn't very good.
Claude is just curious. It's human nature.
What's with the voice direction in these games? Most of the characters sound fine, even good, but then there's some like Mercedes and Ingrid who just sound fricking awful. Was Ingrid told to sound like a fricking robot or is the VA just THAT bad? Is it some moronic attempt to sound "proper" or "ladylike" or something? Does this reflect in her Japanese performance?
Ingrid has a “standard” seiyuu, who is able to be both excitable and irritated at the drop of a hat, which matches her character. Mercedes’ seiyuu has tremendous “ara ara~” vibes, which matches her character.
English Mercedes was told to sound more aloof and air-headed because of the localizers’ hatred for the mommy archetype, and Ingrid didn’t receive much direction at all, since the director presumed Ingrid is just a c**t and nothing more.
>Shahid tried to save us from Claude's stupidity
He was a hero, we were just too blind to see it.

AM is the only route why you wipe out the entire agarthan leadership by pure luck alone.
Isn't the leadership just Thales though? And what is their chain of command anyways? You literally take out their main base in VW but they come back anyways.
Thales: Commander
Solon and Cleobulus: Lieutenants
Myson and Kronya, and other named units: Agents
Faceless mooks: Faceless mooks
Epimenides: The smartest Agarthan who ended up in Zahras for whatever reason, who doesn’t have a physical body anymore and instead uploads AI constructs of his consciousness into other people in an attempt to ape Sothis’ magic, which he came to somehow understand despite Seiros performing blood surgery with Sothis’ Crest centuries after his first demise.
three hopes story sounds moronic when you put it this way
The fact of the matter remains that post-Awakening FE has had mediocre to downright bad stories, with only fantastic set pieces sparing most of the criticism. Awakening, for example, has you amnesiac because your future-self tried to possess you, but they didn’t abduct you, nor did they suffer the same fate. That’s a huge story oversight. However, that image of Lucina being such a pathetic nothing when Grima rises in the future timeline is such an emotional shot, along with other emotional scenes, the average story is largely ignored.
Meanwhile, while Shadows of Valentia had awful gameplay because the developers were crazy enough to 1:1 Gaiden’s gameplay, the story completely blew everything for Awakening and Fates (and, in my personal opinion, Houses) out of the water, because it was largely written decades ago by individuals who had a talent for writing.
Hopes is no less a victim of average to just plain bad writing.
>but they didn’t abduct you, nor did they suffer the same fate.
What? Grima tried to possess Robin, but it didn't work out and his mom escaped with him to Ylisse. That Grima never got to reincarnate and it's the one from the past travelling to the present that's causing those problems.
>What? Grima tried to possess Robin, but it didn't work out and his mom escaped with him to Ylisse.
Think you got the order wrong man. Wasn't the reason Robin woke up in the field because he was just waking up from the failed bodyjack attempt? His mother fled with him BEFORE they could try
Maybe, but regardless the point is that the Plegians did try to do shit and only after it failed and the past Grima time traveling did they not need Robin anymore.
The alternative is, quite simply, Lucina goes to the past and abducts Robin from Plegia, attempting to abscond them into Ylisse, and starting the events that lead to Emmeryn’s death because, in her future, Plegia no longer exists, so she doesn’t recognize that it’s a separate country, and that by stealing one of their nobility she’s started a massive power conflict and given the Mad King justification to exact revenge on Ylisse.
3 Hopes story IS moronic
3 Houses story was already not flying very high
>Had a chance to flesh out the slitherers into an actual believable faction
>Do the exact opposite
3Hopes is a joke.
REAAAACH FOR MY HAND
Oh i'm reaching
anyone got this with dimitri instead of rhea and he's wearing two eyepatches?
Here you go.
not the one I was thinking about, but i'll take it. thanks
Yuzu works but the image occasionally freezes and then it crashes
But I'm playing it on integrated Intel graphics so it's a miracle it's so smooth otherwise
couldn't make it work. crashed immedeately after loading shaders, and all the consecutive attempts made it freeze during shader loading
Are you using Yuzu EA 2824?
ye
How the frick do I use owl perch? It's there but i can't interact with it
Why bother?
Every few battles or so, there'll be a feather icon on your camp. That's when you interact with the perch to pick up a feather.
Ingrid should marry Rodrigue. they seem to be getting along very nicely
Rodrigue is already married and in a love affair with a dead man.
What's Lin like when recruited to Azure Gleam?
sleepy and gay
still a pussy
He doesn't really give a shit. Linhardt just does his own thing no matter where he is.
At first he's like
>Yeah okay I will cooperate but don't use me to convince Empire's populace
Then as the game shows more and more the Empire is fricked up and Edelgard is von Aegir's plaything, he starts to want it brought down and is surprised anyone would support it like Caspar. He doesn't truly give a frick though, he is still doing it in a sleepy, lazy way and would prefer to be left alone. He never whines every fricking waking second like Whorothea and is okay in my book
I still can't handle how much Dorothea b***hes all the goddamn time at every occasion. I liked her in Three Houses and everything, but in Azure Gleam, even fricking Bernadetta feels less like a PoW than her.
So many empire characters are wasted in AG.
Monica should have been killed on her last map.
Ferdinand should have shown up as a braindead Slither solider.
Hubert's body should have been found in a Slither dungeon.
Caspar should have been turned into a Crest beast.
Characters disappear in every route though. Ferdinand completely vanishes in Golden Wildfire.
It's so fricking annoying how every route starts little character arcs and then drops them completely.
The only conceivable golden route is one where the Central Church is destroyed early on and everyone has to band together to defeat the actually competent Slithers.
The molemen tunnel under the monestary and puppetize Rhea. Slithers start body snatching all of the heads of the Church and using the Knights of Seiros and believer manpower to bring Shambala tech topside. The moles want to draw out the goddess and kill her, so they stick their claws into every region so the three lords have to team up with Byleth-Sothis to save the world.
There's a big cool fight against THE IMMACULATE HUSK, and the player gets to chose the ultimate fate of Shez and Arval.
The actual Golden Route is everyone having one conversation with each other for once, instead of keeping everything bottled up to themselves. I could wax fanfiction here, but to keep it simple the best option is for Shez to join the Knights of Seiros after Alois leaves, of all things.
Shez should join the Knights of Seiros so that he can easily infiltrate the monestary and kill all of the lizards? Based.
You join the Knights and successfully help them infiltrate Enbarr to kill Edelgard, except she bribes you with knowledge of where your powers originate. So it’s a repeat of the past with Arundel and Anselma, only this time it’s Shez and Edelgard escaping to the Kingdom to try and find Cornelia, which then gets Dimitri involved. The Church is hunting Edelgard, and then hunts Dimitri when he starts cooperating with her. Meanwhile, Duke Aiger has taken over as head of state, and is pushing hard against Leicester. Cornelia’s, Myson’s, Kronya’s, and perhaps even Solon’s defeats all point to Shambhala being in Leicester, which moves the party over there and gets Claude involved; Edelgard in the shadows, Dimitri publicly as king supporting Leicester against the Empire.
This would make sense, and Jeralt and Byleth could potentially get hired by the Church to go hunt down Shez and Edelgard because mercenaries largely have free reign for movement, provided they aren’t pillaging or breaking laws during transit. It would even give Byleth an opportunity to use the Sword of the Creator since she would have access to the Holy Mausoleum. With Sothis alive and able to warn them that sitting on the throne means full-possession, we would have a fully-powered Byleth that easily shits all over Shez when they fight, satiating the self-inserting Bylethtrannies and putting the Slithers into a position to actually help Shez and find out more about Arval themselves. That also means getting into Shambhala and learning their side of the story.
I don't think that Edelgard could bribe Shez away from a contract. It comes up pretty clearly in Shez's support with Petra that a merc is only as good as their word, and switching sides for profit is a good way to never get a job again.
That’s a fair point. The only argument I can think of is that Arval would influence Shez to seek more about their history, but that might be pushing it. Perhaps that with Edelgard no longer acting as Emperor, Shez would justify letting them live and escaping with her?
Knights infiltrate Enbarr, ok. Why would Edelgard manage to bribe Shez but doesn't just continue her shit but flees her country for no reason when that will destroy all her fricking plans? All that to help Shez find out about something he didn't really care about in any of the stories? Then somehow the weak Knights of Seiros pick a fight against Faerghus despite being pathetically weak in comparison and aren't just immediatelly smacked down when they've lost their only ally. Your idea is almost as bad as those you've responded to, it's out of character and stupid.
Shamir almost succeeded in killing Edelgard in Scarlet Blaze, and only Shez prevented it. The Knights would succeed if Shez was on their side. The Church also has free access to Camulus because Dimitri grants them hospitality, and then later Arianrhod when the situation with the Empire becomes dire. Thanks for the angry ramblings, though.
Does Lysi's land get fricked in all three routes? Girl can't catch a break.
I really hate how everyone in these threads pretends Rhea is a dindu because she protects the peace/status quo. I'm not an Edelgard tard either but an Alien host forcing your whole country to worship her dead mother and killing people on the low, blocking technology and pissing off all the other countries doesn't really sound good or sustainable even if she was immortal. Eventually the outside would just pull an AoT where they'd have tech to frick up crest tards and Rhea eventually too.
The writers decided Rhea is permanently a dindu when they decided the villain's motivation for killing her is that he wanted to see what happens when she dies
Nothing personnel, Rhea.
>Ferdinand disappears from Azure Gleam
>Story immediately goes to shit with mindbroken Edelgard and Slither autism
>Ferdinand disappears from Golden Wildfire
>Story immediately goes to shit with Claude's 0IQ schemes and alliances
Curious!
>Ferdinand disappears from real life
How do you explain Scarlet Blaze trashfire?
They didn't make him the Lord.
He was always a chad
Edeltard becoming the literal tool she always was is a good thing. It made no sense how the slithers didn't have their pet project on a tight lease or even a backup plan in case she turned on them.
They didn't have enough Vitamin D so their brains don't work that well.
Every time Ferdie gets posted, I just think he's so handsome.
Hopes Ferdie was a massive upgrade from TS Ferd
Whatvare the conditions for both killing Claude and recruiting Byleth on SB? I want to have my cake while eating it too.
You can't
Frick that noise, man. Last digit decides: Odds, I kill Claude, Evens I kill Byleth.
Damn it. Looks like I'm going to murder Sothis to see what happens.
the cutscene where you kill her is actually pretty cool. on the other hand when you kill jeralt you have to feel bad for him, you just beat up a crippled old man
What swords are the ones that Shez has during the cutscenes? I know its an Iron Sword, Killing Edge but I can't tell if the other is a Silver Sword or Brave Sword. Also, they didn't even try with some cutscenes, the one where Byleth gets taken over my Sothis for the first time they have the sword Jeralt gives to them, but he actually hasn't given it to them by that time so like how?
>Hilda can block an attack from Dimitri one-handed
Based little girl
So in the SB good end, Claude is helping Edelgard conquer the Kingdom even though Rhea and the Central Church are already defeated. Does that mean he accepted the Alliance is going to be dominated if not straight up absorbed by the Empire? I don't know why else he would continue helping her.
Because he is a dumb moron, that's why
This game is awful, i only play it because I love making my favories overpowered, that's why I like FEH too, its better to just ignore the story because it contraficts itself way too many times.
I wanna play FEH for my favorites but I don't want to sink ANY money into gachashit. Just let me pay $59.99 and let me have the characters I want instead of diceroll pull bullshit.
I mean as far as gachas go FEH is really lenient with giving you stuff
specially at first
but yeah there's inevitably going to be characters you are gonna miss, I love Elise and I still don't have her despite playing for 4 years

It's especially frustrating since in the map UI, red always means enemy regardless of faction.
Bump.
Stupid dragon...
stupidly cute dragon!
How anyone can watch the opening cutscene in Houses and think Rhea is the bad guy is almost as moronic as Edelgard.
Your father explicitly tells you to be wary of her, and her presence when you first meet her in the Monastery is incredibly sinister.
>and her presence when you first meet her in the Monastery is incredibly sinister.
no it isn't
Yes it is.
I-is that smiling woman? NOOOOO I AM GOING INSAAAAANE!!!!! SAVE ME EDELGARD-SAMA AAAAAAAAAA
If a woman is smiling at you she is going to steal your vitality. Do not ignore this warning.
That's not sinister. You are just autistic.
she's just standing there, MENACINGLY
>AIIIIIIIIIIIIE IS THAT A WOMAN SMILING AT ME AGAINST AN ILLUMINATED BACKGROUND?! I'M GOING INSANE I'M LOSING MY MIIIIIIIIIIIIINDDDDDDDD
>Your father explicitly tells you to be wary of her,
Let's be real, Jeralt doesn't like Rhea because she is his mother-in-law and she tried to fix his drinking problem
Knowing a few real alcoholics that's actually pretty likely.
to be fair she does cut open a baby and stick a crest stone in its chest. she's not remotely innocent, the issue is that she's a small part of a larger body. rhea represents the church but her actions don't negate all of the good the church does. nor does anything good that rhea does negate the shit system the church helps uphold
They did rewrite history to erase the presence of a people they tried to genocide and generally believe death is the only salvation for anyone who doesn't agree with them.
>generally believe death is the only salvation for anyone who doesn't agree with them.
And they are 100% right because god (real in this universe) is literally on their side, opposing the creator is moronation
God, in this universe, is a fricking Ayylmao and is dead, they're trying to force a revival and see you as naught more but a tool to achieve their ends
>to be fair she does cut open a baby and stick a crest stone in its chest.
you do realise the baby was stillborn and it was a last ditch effort to save him at behest of his mother no less
Well she does basically try to have your mind replaced by Sothis's, which is the only reason she initially cares about you. And her leadership has led to stagnation within Fodlan.
I don't think she's a bad person (which is why I'm kinda disappointed how two out of 3 routes in Hopes make her the big bad), but she's definitely flawed.
Rhea and Edelgard are the same character, with the same motivations. They fail to see just how identical they are, in time, Edelgard will become just like Rhea
Well no she won't as she won't get the chance to live that long.
Defending the Church in a JRPG is major cuck behavior
Is this your last resort, Nick? Pretending this church is the same as generic jrog churches?
So why is gay Byleth immortal with Yuri while female Byleth isn't?
because frog is not canon
femleth got jealous of Yuri's looks so she let him age and die.
Because Yuri is for Manleth
Unironically might be Byleth's Nabatean semen. If just blood provides slowed aging and Crest, so should the ejaculation. Female Byleth doesn't have the means to do that and maybe Yuri didn't want to drink her blood, or she didn't figure it out
So Edelgard draws just like i do?
>replying to it
don't do that
Rhea doesn't control shit
But she should have
She was so focused on resurrecting Sothis instead of being a proper successor that she let Fodlan get fractured and subverted by molemen
Imagine the Tribunal from Morrowind, but their powers aren't slowly getting cucked out of them by Dagoth Ur and there is no gigachad like Tiber Septim who could rival her coming to invade
I'd invade her if you know what I mean.
the slithers are OP when they're in the background. no one can see them coming unless they reveal themselves to you for some dumb reason. and then they job hard. that's the power of shit writing
Did Nick's mom force him to go to church one time where he got molested by a priest or what?
are master classes still shit in this game? Wondering whether i should make sylvain a dark knight
In general they're just improvements over advanced classes. The only exception is maybe Gremory since the moveset isn't as good as the previous classes.
Master classes also increase your weapon rank to A, which allows you to use extra combos, even with lower classes.
Gremory felt like shit to play until I tried Gremory Rhea w/ Essence of Fire. I had fun spamming her skill, Bologna, Ragnarok, and Y4X combo. The triple fire beam looks cool but it hits like 3 wet noodles. Nothing can save Gremory's class action.
Dark/Holy Knight is fun as frick and my personal favorite in the game.
>the war never ends!

T-Thanks devs... Just what we wanted to see as the finale of the 3h saga...
I mean we could still have a sequel several thousands of years later where God Emperor of all Fodlan Byleth decides the time has come to unify all of the world under a single banner
Call it Fire Emblem: 3 Continents
>Several thousand years later
>After the death of Byleth Fódlan turned into bigger shithole then before
>Bandits and Neo-Slitherers are everywhere, society is collapsing

a-at least we learned that jeralt is over 300 years old
>Rhea had to watch Jeralt getting drunk after every battle and passing out near the monastery for over 300 years
God, imagine how much she was seething when he and Sitri got together
>>edel is a war victim

Context?
Sopranox. This once loveable character becomes a druggie and sits and suffocates his dog
>Once lovable character falls from grace.
Sounds familiar.
Khalid only gets better. Becoming ruler of both Almyra and Fodlan is only the natural conclusion for his character arc.
It couldn’t be helped. He was a made man, the dog wasn’t. It was some sick shit, some real greaseball stuff.
I still can't believe I learned of Paulie's death by a post in these threads.
Just replaced Bernadetta's unique ability with Byleth's objectively better ability. Is there one that Leonie would prefer instead of the Y spam?
I love these dorks.
Hapi in general is great.

>KING OF THE LEICESTER FEDERATION
the thing I don't get is why the hell everyone goes along with it, there is absolutely nothing you could do to convince me that Lorenz would be in favor of it
Honestly, him becoming king isn't even a bad thing, it's a smart play in a time of war. The roundtable isn't designed to make snap decisions with lives on the line, an issue they've been able to sidestep because House Goneril have appointed themselves as the guardians of the Alliance's shared border with Almyra. The bigger issue is that he goes full moron pursuing a "solution" he knows full well won't actually solve anything. He's perfectly aware that Edelgard's gripes go beyond Rhea and the Church, and he knows Edelgard has no reason to back down just because Rhea is out of the picture. If anything it would only embolden her because one of her two main adversaries is now gone, and Dimitri just lost any and all legitimacy to his claim as king of Faerghus. Claude accomplished his own personal goal and then expected everyone else to just be satisfied with that.
I see Ashe spending more time with girls and female teachers at academy, I'm glad they get along.
So someone just go ahead and spoil me for Azure Gleam, does fricking Dimitri go boar mode at all or does he just completely get the frick over his autism/schizophrenia and hes just a normal boring ass lord the entire time for his route
I just saw him execute his uncle but he didn't seem cool with it, but the only thing that actually makes Dimitri intresting as a character is that hes a huge schizo the entire time lmao. So does he or doesn't he? If he doesn't I'm just going to skip this route for now and go play Claudes route for now.
if you want a schizo lord, claude's route will definitely satisfy you
Nah, he never goes full edgelord like in Houses. He seems much more competent at straddling the line in Hopes. He's more guilty than anything else, with some very brief edgy moments sprinkled throughout. Right at the very end when he's fighting Thales is when he's probably at his edgiest, and it's nothing close to how bad he gets in Houses.
If you crave pure insanity then hurry up and play GW
Bernadetta is best girl
Jeritza is best girl
Yuri is best girl
Edelgard? Mid at best
Why did people stop saying mediocre and only mid now?
Mediocre is too complicated for certain individuals
