Anon, he's just edelgard but more moronic. He has no actual goals. He himself admits that he forgot what his dream even is. Everything he does is a whim
He doesn't care about conquering fodlan at all. He states he has no interest in seeing it united. He kills Rhea purely to see what would happen if she died, not for any greater purpose
they fall apart and run around like headless chickens without her. Not even Seteth can rally them to get things done until Byleth comes back and they rally to him as Rhea's anointed replacement.
>sandBlack person doesn't understand how church works
unsurprising
To be fair to him, as far as the writing team are concerned, Rhea really is the church, with how long she's governed it and her sheer political power and never bothering to raise a successor, or have a convenient well known godking around to take over like in Houses
No one remarks that Rhea has been the archbishop for over 1,000 years, nor do they remark that every archbishop has looked and sounded the same, so Rhea presumably had loyal cardinals fill the position for a few generations so she hide being a Nabatean. As for why influence might wane temporarily, a nation-wide war is going on and the church has to stay mobile.
I don't really see a point to it, everyone is usable, lords and Shez are a step above, Balthus gets an honorable mention from me because he's by far the best Warmaster (Vajra-Mushti and its combat art are insane) and there are a ton of tome enemies
Shez>everyone else except maybe Jeritza for ng
For ng+ maddening almost everyone is viable but I think Jeralt got shafted in the abilities department. We need a difficulty harder than maddening since with type advantage characters can handle it while being half the enemies level

After two games we unironically still are unsure if Edelgard is one of the most well written video game character in recent history of just straight up waifubait...
So? Is any random touhou character super well written now?
She has a moronic fanbases filled with twitter trannies and her writing can only be described as schizophrenic waifubait.
Thank you for assisting me Claude. As the new archbishop I promise to bring a new age of tolerance and peace to Fodlan. Now if you will excuse me I have some business to attend to in the basement, alone.
Do you think her insecurities come from the fact that she doesn't have long to live so she wants to view these years as her "adulthood" or would she still act like that if she didn't have terminal crest cancer?
They locked recruits way tighter this time around, like, good luck if you like any of the blue lions and you don't want to play their house, you will murder them.

And yet he's completely miserable if you recruit him. You get him super early on and it's not until the last two chapters that he stops acting like he wishes you had killed him instead
Rhea might still be alive in SB, she might even go into a several year nap like Byleth for all we know, but it's doubtful. It's funny how Dimitri doesn't even give a single shit about Thales' attacks, but they can kill Saint Seiros.
I think being minor is good, he already has moronic, uncontrollable super strength. >Loog could probably solo the entire continent
He did, Rhea had to use her breasts and intervene.
Loog pretty much did that, Rhea had to mediate to stop him from exterminating the Empire. If Dimitri can break anything he puts too much force on, was Loog capable of uprooting trees and throwing them at enemies or something?
I'm just glad supports no longer take place in a skybox with visible seams
I can't see the seams, where are they? I've never noticed them.
The support is about Shez wanting to find out about his mother, they decide to send a letter to the village he grew up in to see if they knew who she is or where she came from, they wait but they never get a letter back so Shez just accepts the fact that he'll probably never know and he can accept that and walks off, only for the last line of the support being that pic where Ashe is given presumably that letter from the village and then it just ends there, we never see what's in it.
NTA, she's just cute, I like her voice and chill/lazy personality, her gimmick is fricking moronic, I'm glad they didn't lean into it that much in this game
The whole sighing brings monsters thing is such an insanely stupid idea, I have no idea what they were smoking when they came up with that. But yeah she's a cutie
I like how Felix and Sylvain almost have an inverted relationship to Rodrigue and Gautier. Felix is the Serious one hiding his emotions the same as Sylvain's dad.
It's not very hard
Just raise the kids together and they'll naturally befriend each other
The kings of england used to have all the prominent nobles send their infants to act as crib mates for the crown prince and fister bonds early
Would Rhea really marry Dimitri? She never did that with anyone else and a heartbreak once he dies would be very bad for her, so she'd better get enough kids with him she has something on her mind after he dies. I can see his advisors approving and it'd give permanent legitimacy to his rule at least, unless they decided to force him to marry insane Edelgard instead for less unrest in Empire territories once they inevitably take them.
It'd make sense from a political view for both of them, marrying Rhea would make his kingdom legitimacy once and for all, as you say, and would guarantee protection by the kingdom since they'd basically be part of the kingdom now.
Dimitri doesn't have issues marrying the political leader of fodlan going by AM either so no problems there.
So what sets this apart from other musous?
FE perks, weapon triangle, strategies, reclassing. As a musou, it's actually pretty damn fun.
Dimitri is a king and as such does a lot of stuff purely for political benefit, including far worse shit than marrying someone he doesn't love, and they apparently do at the very least interact with a very healthy does of mutual respect and admiration. He mentions talking to Rhea about land cultivation and how she apparently has a lot of wisdom in many varying areas while Rhea can't stop praising him in every mission whenever she appears in Hopes.
[...]
[...]
What additional political legitimacy? Faerghus is already legitimate as per Fodlan's standard laws. It was only in the eyes of Adrestia's war engine, pushing its government branch in name only southern church as legit and decrying all other churches as fake from their founding, that Faerghus would be illegitimate. In that case, marrying Rhea wouldn't make Faerghus any more legitimate.
It's mutual benefits. The Church is very important with a long history and a ton of followers, but very weak militarily. Faerghus is about to take over the Empire's lands and for all we know, Leicester too if Claude either fricks off or is stupid enough to try some shady shit, so with that Faerghus gains permanent legitimacy and far better approval from the faithful, Church gains the support of the most powerful military.
But truth be told, it'd still be more utilitarian to just marry Edelgard. It's not moral with how messed up her mind probably is, she probably won't ever get better, but there's no way Dimitri's advisors won't suggest doing that when it's so convenient.

His advisors suggested all sorts of shit in Three Hopes, from bowing to Empire, accepting Southern Church so basically also bowing to Empire and admitting Faerghus is illegitimate, and they were fine. He would at best be slightly agitated at first until calming down and considering if they have a point. If he feels that course of action will lead to less deaths and suffering, he may take it.

Garreg Mach is a legitimate state edelgard can't do anything against beyond declaring some bullshit.
If the kingdom marries its political leader, adestria has no point anymore because it becomes legitimate through marriage in the eyes of adestria.
The context of Dimitri's line is during the war after Adrestia's declaration of war, since the church was one of the parties verifying the creation of Faerghus (and Leicester). Also, if Adrestia claims the central church was never authentic, it's likely challenging Garreg Mach's nationhood as well, instead asserting that all of Fodlan is Adrestian territory.

Okay, we've managed to convince him that having sex with Rhea is a better alternative to killing her, but we forgot to teach him a good seduction technique.
Dimitri doesn't shit on her, personally, he just has his gripes with the church, which is understandable because the western church is a steaming pile of garbage that should be nuked.
He admires her and generally likes Rhea.

>Why is there a sacred weapon for crests of cichol that are fists and not lances, and a sacred axe for the crest of seiros?
Have you ever looked at enemy character stats?
Rhea has maxed stats in every weapon skill in the game. The 4 saints used to be gigachads that maxed out almost every class in the game.
Arval's feet. actually weapon triangle, classes, story if you just go AG and ignore those two other dumpster fires, the characters. It's way better than the other musous I've played.
I personally like hopes more because the fire emblem aspects work really well with musou gameplay. P5S is kind of boring in how it presents itself. You'll be in cutscenes more than gameplay if you go P5S
Hm it's close, but I'd say Persona Strikers has better gameplay, it feels a bit closer to an action RPG like FF7R than a typical musuo. 3 Hopes is pretty good for a musuo and it has some light strategy/tactics aspects where you need to send your units to deal with enemies they counter
Persona imo has better combat, some of the bossfights are pretty fun compared to the joke that boss fights are in 3 Hopes
>Edelgard becomes Dimitri and Rhea's adoptive daughter >she regains her sense of self one night out of the blue >walks in on Dimitri and Rhea making her a sister
Why did they make Judith such a jobber. Her death made me laugh because it was the first time she actually did anything in a battle and she died instantly
Holst couldn't take Dimitri in a fight. Dimitri's strength is his own but amplified by his crest. Hilda is probably in the same situation where she's strong otherwise but the crest amplifies it tenfold
It'd be a pretty shit situation, since you can tell some nobles would support the secondborn purely because of his crest.
But one of them would inherit rhea's position.
>a kid that can break metal spoons as an infant and can wield super weapons >a kid that can't
The choice is obvious to who should be the heir, but that's still an impossible scenario if he marries Rhea. If just donating some blood grants a major crest of the dragon, being born of one should guarantee the major crest because it's the dragon's offspring who also is at least partially a Nabatean. Even if for some reason it doesn't, Rhea can just give her blood to the child to give it the crest of Seiros, so the point is moot.
Well now that's an entirely different problem, you have a shit ton of new crestgays runnibg around
Dimitri eats raw meat and grass when he gets hungry, no way he knows how to pull out, and Rhea is infamlusly clingy and dependent, so she wouldn't know how to back away
And then you have a legion of crestgays that can kill wolves with a fart at age 5, with no accountability. Like even three kids would be too much to control
>Like even three kids would be too much to control
i have faith in both Rhea and Dimitri. Sitri by all acounts was a nice person. and dimitri is a known moralgay
I wouldn't be so sure, something's off with Dimitri's bloodline. Rufus's absolutely nuts, Dimitri can be nuts as boar and we know his ancestor was genocidal because he was one of the Elites. It might've been a result of trauma but he sure seems like he has some mental illness prone genes. I think they'd make for great parents to the point that'd never be an issue, though.

>Rhea just jumps over Edelgard and Shez instead of taking everyone down with her >Claude's entire fricking route >"Unique" classes are literally the same as others
There's just so many things wrong with this game. That's just a few but I can spend hours on things that are so simple to fix and there's just no effort at all. I am so fricking mad
Asura and Enlightened ones are their own movesets. Shez dodge rolls while based Chadleth sidesteps. The Lord classes are all unique since Claude is the only flying arhcer and Dimitri is a living beyblade. Edelgard's is the least unique barring the Deathknight which doesn't hide that it's a modified Dark Knight because they actually lock you out of using Dark Knight with Jeritza.
Claude's route is kino and way better than his boring three houses route.
>Claude gets convinced too easily by edelgard reeeee
He wasn't convinced by shit he's just being a slimy opportunist. He lies constantly throughout GW but on this one occasion you take him at his word lol?
Him being an opportunist only makes sense if there's actually an opportunity being taken. He gains no benefit from being Edelgard's lapdog and killing Rhea unless he truly means what he says.
Just finished my first run
Went with Deers and I gotta say they made Claude WAY more interesting here than in three houses. Him literally sacrificing his "allies" to put himself in a more favorable position was the kind of shit I expected to see in the original with how they hyped him up. Him going against the church is pretty in line with his anti traditionalist views so that wasn't very surprising. It was really nice to see Lorenz and Hilda finally get their family members to bounce off too. Gave them a lot more depth that they were sorely lacking compared to the BL squad. My only real complaint is that the ending felt hollow since it just abruptly finishes once you kill Rhea and there aren't even any paired endings or anything. Of course that might be intentional since you're playing as John Slither instead of Jesus this time. The best part of this game by far though was portraying the lords as actual lords and having political talks while weighing the pros and cons of each action. Overall it BTFOs 3H and a lot of other FEs too imo
The leader letters are hilarious to me since Shez is ditching his BFFs while the war is still going on. The Claude one is especially hilarious since it feels like Shez defected and Claude is trying to talk him back into a retaliatory trap or sending the letter at all is a "you're not fully hidden you can't do this to me" seethe and Shez is fighting off Almyrans and Leicester troops as part of his/her daily life.
Shez is still there, at least for the duration of the war, it's just that them and the letter writer are a bit autistic and would rather write than talk about things
If Shez is writing a letter, he's already slipped away, and while he might come back, the idea that he went on a vacation in the middle of a war is hilarious, especially if he's trying to ditch Claude without explicitly ditching Claude.

And people wonder why there's constant war in Hopesverse.
he's actually not a generic, he's got stubble; i know this because they legitimately patched this into three houses and mentioned it in the patch notes
She's mostly uses あいつ, but I'm pretty sure I've heard "he" being used in battle at least once. Not worth the trouble of double checking, since the verbiage in Japanese doesn't sound strange outside of being animu theatrical speech.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That being said, I do appreciate that they seem to be giving SB a lot of sacred weapons as the saints crest blood folks, as opposed to Kingdom and Leicester having relics for days

Age of Calamity just got typical dlc, some new characters and movesets (that honestly should have been in the base game) and some story stuff. Strikers got nothing at all
I hate this game so much it's unreal. Could have given Rhea an actual unique class, or added the DLC classes from Houses, Judith could have been playable or Nadir but no, fricking meme character because XD GATEKEEPER WON CYL
Deep lore moment: Raphael's dad once traveled to Sreng and stole a piece of fur from one of their inhabitants. This could very well be the reason for the Sreng wars.

They're contradicting shit not just from Three Houses but also from this game
The Kingdom teams up with Duscur
The Alliance teams up with Almyra (VW)
The Empire teams up with Brigid
Rhea has an Almyran and a Dagdan advisor
I genuinely don't understand what they're getting at here, if Claude is supposed to be saying something that's wrong then why is Dimitri agreeing with him

I think you're failing to get it anon, Claude in Three Hopes is supposed to be a worse off Claude, he doesn't care about the truth in this game, he never digs deep and he just takes what he sees as the shortest path to his goals. Three Houses Claude is Claude at his best, so if anything Three Hopes is actually an endorsement for Rhea because the better Claude knew that she wasn't actually his enemy. Three Hopes is not supposed to be a golden route, it's more like the opposite.

The entire reason there is a conflict in 3H is because he chooses the Church over the Empire. In Verdant Wind he's literally working hand in hand with the Church of Seiros. His support chain with Cyril ends with him saying he doesn't need to make an enemy of her.
He has problems at first yes but he realises that his concerns aren't founded in anything and realises the Church is not his enemy.

play the game again, speed-reader-kun, but this time don't skip through the dialogue
You could chalk it up to Claude being a more negative person in Hopes because he never experiences the Officer's Academy but then why would Dimitri agree with him when he knew it wasn't the case?
Just got to chapter 10/end of part 1 on Azure gleam. Is there really no plot explanation beyond the 6 month time skip for why you and dimitri can suddenly unlock your master classes? I thought there would be some dramatic event instead they just go yeah you can switch once you upgrade the training grounds. Also is there any reason NOT to take the GD crew claude drops on you at the start of the chapter?
Are you ESL? That's not what she's saying. She's saying that some Kingdom nobles who are religious claim that the Goddess granted them the land. That's not the Church saying that the Goddess granted them that land, that's the nobles claiming that.
>The Church clearly didn't disapprove of it
Evidence for this? You're assuming things.
>or else these devout nobles wouldn't be saying the Goddess approved of it
No, they definitely would. Historically nations would make claims like this all the time. When England defeated the Spanish Armada they credited their victory to God, saying it was his wins that won them the day and thus God sided with them. Obviously that was not the official view of the Catholic Church.
And Rhea sends aid to Duscans in Azure Gleam. So clearly it's not Church policy and a matter of personal prejudice.

Random people claiming things doesn't make it Church policy.
Not even Edelgard is claiming that the Church gave them the go-ahead.
Edelgard is saying that some of the corrupt Kingdom nobles claim that the Goddess granted them the right to annex Sreng and Duscur. This is not the Central Church saying that the Goddess says they should do it. These are men who want land using the Goddess as a justification for why they should own more land.

One of the main tenets of religion is that conquest is bad and it scared the Goddess away.

So if a clergyman claimed that and Rhea did nothing to deny it would Edelgard be ignorant

Yes because the consensus of the people who actually commited the genocide was that it was done as revenge. If it was a thing of the goddess, then the slither's wouldn't have had to put up an entire fricking conspiracy to get the army to do it.

Random people claiming things doesn't make it Church policy.
Not even Edelgard is claiming that the Church gave them the go-ahead.
Edelgard is saying that some of the corrupt Kingdom nobles claim that the Goddess granted them the right to annex Sreng and Duscur. This is not the Central Church saying that the Goddess says they should do it. These are men who want land using the Goddess as a justification for why they should own more land.

So now Rhea should personally interfere in every random person who has a moronic religious take? I thought it was bad when she destroyed the Western Church who backed Duscur???

This, it's moron logic. If she did interfere it would be cited as an example of overreaching into politics which also mean Rhea bad. They don't even know what they want Rhea to do, they just want Rhea dead because Edelgard wants it and they will therefore twist any scenario into Rhea being the bad guy.

The genocide was done for Lambert, not the goddess. The church couldn't have stopped that no matter how hard the tried. People were infatuated with their king and chose to avenge him over abiding by the goddess's teachings.
people have already shit on you a lot but that's literally not what edelgard is saying
she's saying that religious nobles use religion as a justification for their warmongering
that does not mean the church approves of it
I hate S-ranks since Hyrule Warriors because they basically force you to replay the mission almost every time because of moronic time and k. o. requirements. You killed 1999 soldiers? Frick you, that's not enough, do over again. This system doesn't motivate you to play better and polish your skills, like in Bayonetta for example, it just feels like a frustrating padding
so I actually finished my playthrough yesterday
Scarlet Blaze, because I actually like those kids more than the rest. People hate on Edelgard, but she's basically a better Daenerys. Not great, but not shitty either.
Game itself is decently good even if you dont like musous, but compared to Houses feels a bit underwhelming.
Got the "hidden" chapters, and its a bit underwhelming.
Tied with that, I said it from the first moment: you take away my hot hebe goddess and I have to deal with this alien albino homosexual? worst choice ever
Also, I dont get to marry Bernadetta? tf were you thinking devs
That being said, the ending is somewhat satisfactory and I didnt have to kill that many of the kids so I'm OK.
The DLC gonna need some sort of fricking golden ending if they want me to come back tho.
end of blogpost by saying that Rhea is massively hot and Flayn massively cute even if she's a moron
the fact that nobody ever disagrees with people in-game when they say the church promotes xenophobia or whatever means we must be missing the other half of the book of seiros that preaches all that stuff, or nobody, even the religious people, has actually read it
As far as we know Rhea might be nice but the church as a whole is a corrupt shithole and Rhea makes 0 effort to put her people in line regarding racism or people attributing atrocities to Sothis.
That's what I'm inclined to think, that Rhea is too preoccupied with trying to resurrect Sothis and so does the bare minimum in actually ruling, only caring about whatever doesn't start a war, and also taking care of orphans and puppies. Still makes Rhea look lazy, you'd think she'd appoint enough cardinals she trusts to handle things better
>says this while standing next to Holst, a noble with no crest who inherited his seat over his crest holding sister. beloved and respected as a powerful warrior everywhere in fodlan despite not having a crest
And yet didn't the Empire undergo rapid reform in the two years timeskip of Hopes and the Church did nothing to intervene? Wasn't the Kingdom also undergoing reforms, though at a slower pace, and the Church still did nothing to intervene? Isn't the Alliance itself proof that the Church doesn't intervene at all since they're the least religious out of all the regions?
The Book of Seiros, Part II >The descendants of the Heroes sought their ancestor's power, and thusly their blood. In time, they amassed Crests, Relics, land, and wealth, using all to set the land aflame with war. The goddess's power, intented to stern the flow of evil, became a tool of destruction, all because of the greed of humanity. The goddess grieved and, heartbroken, hid herself in the heavens from whence she came..."
I don't know from the Church's official doctrine it seems like the Goddess doesn't approve of conquest and some random corrupt nobles claiming that she does, doesn't actually mean anything.

It makes sense if you paid attention to 3 Houses, Claude has always been chaotic but also very very ignorant of how Fodlan works. He's like Edelgard in that he has a victim complex.
Siding with Edelgard is only justifiable if the game pretends that no other faction is trying to right injustices. Then you actually play Azure Gleam and see everything cited as something wrong with the Kingdom is also something the Kingdom is working to fix. Sylvain's paralogue ends with him pledging to find a peaceful settlement with Sreng.
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't one of the reasons that the western church was butthurt at the central church in 3 houses because it DIDN'T persecute foreigners and even let them enroll at Garreg Mach?
Question: does anyone else get lost on the maps? Whenever "I jump to a character they always seem to be turned the opposite way they were pointing and many paths seem to blend into the walls.
I swear the jabs at Shez felt like a personal attack, or an admittance by the devs that the map design is labyrinthine as all hell.
Did people here not actually play GW? Everyone in game (including himself) say he's a scumbag. Half his country nearly defects when he declares war on the church and is only resolved after he sends troops in
because cf is hubert's fanfiction so it's framed as you taking down a tyranical despot. ss and gw harbor no such delusions - you're unjustifiably taking down a creature who did pretty much nothing wrong in the grand scale of things

His actual goal is to conquer Fodlan. Killing Rhea is just an excuse.
The Edelgard special, be a power hungry moron while blaming the church every step of the way.
He doesn't care about conquering fodlan at all. He states he has no interest in seeing it united. He kills Rhea purely to see what would happen if she died, not for any greater purpose

>sandBlack person doesn't understand how church works
unsurprising
That very statement demonstrates just how little Claude knows about the Church.
they fall apart and run around like headless chickens without her. Not even Seteth can rally them to get things done until Byleth comes back and they rally to him as Rhea's anointed replacement.
The church will wither and die without Rhea.
They state in game that Seteth's running around let people know the Church was still alive. It wasn't entirely stable, but it was still there.
To be fair to him, as far as the writing team are concerned, Rhea really is the church, with how long she's governed it and her sheer political power and never bothering to raise a successor, or have a convenient well known godking around to take over like in Houses
Why does the church even have cardinals at that point?
They are useful to control things, but everyone answers to Rhea, especially its army.
I got the implication that the cardinals were a way for Rhea and Seteth to sneak in and out before people noticed that they didn't age.
Surrogate family for Rhea. Of course she is a control freak, where do you think edelgard got it from?
No one remarks that Rhea has been the archbishop for over 1,000 years, nor do they remark that every archbishop has looked and sounded the same, so Rhea presumably had loyal cardinals fill the position for a few generations so she hide being a Nabatean. As for why influence might wane temporarily, a nation-wide war is going on and the church has to stay mobile.
Oh Claude
I'm going to kidnap dragons.
Now that they've rehabilitated her, there's nothing less to discuss...
Little El is for Granma Rhea to discipline
So, is there a unit tier list yet?
Shez>>>>>
else
I don't really see a point to it, everyone is usable, lords and Shez are a step above, Balthus gets an honorable mention from me because he's by far the best Warmaster (Vajra-Mushti and its combat art are insane) and there are a ton of tome enemies
I could live out my Dimitri is an absolute terminator fantasies again, so it was fun.
God he basically destroys anything.
Shez>everyone else except maybe Jeritza for ng
For ng+ maddening almost everyone is viable but I think Jeralt got shafted in the abilities department. We need a difficulty harder than maddening since with type advantage characters can handle it while being half the enemies level
Which route should I play next now that I've finished Azure Gleam?
Golden Wildfire, because it's like an entertaining version of CF, equally moronic too.

After two games we unironically still are unsure if Edelgard is one of the most well written video game character in recent history of just straight up waifubait...

So? Is any random touhou character super well written now?
She has a moronic fanbases filled with twitter trannies and her writing can only be described as schizophrenic waifubait.

Thank you for assisting me Claude. As the new archbishop I promise to bring a new age of tolerance and peace to Fodlan. Now if you will excuse me I have some business to attend to in the basement, alone.
Do you think her insecurities come from the fact that she doesn't have long to live so she wants to view these years as her "adulthood" or would she still act like that if she didn't have terminal crest cancer?
bro, i just beat my dick to her i have no clue what u are on about.
Unironically what were they thinking?

She gets a couple of new ones for the edeltard collage in hopes.

Your first mistake was assuming they thought at all

Questions.
Does Rhea live in the Blue Lions route?
Can you recruit Manuela to BLs?
Who dies in BL's route? Does Rhea?
Depending on the answer will decide if I buy this game.
Yes, until Claude inevitably gets to her anyway
No
>No Manuela
God fricking dammit. Do I seriously have to work with Edelgard to play with my wife?
Blue Lions continues to be the most based house.
They locked recruits way tighter this time around, like, good luck if you like any of the blue lions and you don't want to play their house, you will murder them.
yeah, aren't only like 3 of them recruitable?
Two, and Mercedes is BE exclusive because she will only betray them for Jeritza.
Ashe in every route
Mercedes but only in Eagles
Why does Ashe even join Claude, at least with the empire it makes sense because of his family
Dimitri told him to value his life over loyalty
>at least with the empire it makes sense because of his family
And yet he's completely miserable if you recruit him. You get him super early on and it's not until the last two chapters that he stops acting like he wishes you had killed him instead
Ashe is recruitable in both other routes, Mercedes in BE due to Jeritza, but Sylvain, Ingrid, Felix, Annette, Dedue are all loyal
She's Jeralt's wife now, buddy
>My wife is now my alternate universe 'MC-but-not-anymore' Step-mom
It's an abstract kind of feel.
>goddess save me from these empire harlots
>haha i'll frick your whole mercenary troop
no wonder she's still single
Yes
No
Caspar and Hubert
Only route Rhea survives in.
No Manuela.
Caspar, Hubert and Ferdinand get offscreen'd.
Rhea might still be alive in SB, she might even go into a several year nap like Byleth for all we know, but it's doubtful. It's funny how Dimitri doesn't even give a single shit about Thales' attacks, but they can kill Saint Seiros.
It's the difference between getting shot by regular ki blasts and a spirit bomb
Minor crest of blaidyd>seiros
If Dimitri merely has a minor crest imagine what kind of turbo gigachad would result from a major crest, Loog could probably solo the entire continent
I think being minor is good, he already has moronic, uncontrollable super strength.
>Loog could probably solo the entire continent
He did, Rhea had to use her breasts and intervene.
Loog pretty much did that, Rhea had to mediate to stop him from exterminating the Empire. If Dimitri can break anything he puts too much force on, was Loog capable of uprooting trees and throwing them at enemies or something?
I can't see the seams, where are they? I've never noticed them.
Must you continue to seethe? Continue to dilate?
Must you continue to seethe back? Continue to dilate in retaliation?
>they unironically end the support here
MOTHERFRICKER
Yeah that one's kinda fricked up.
I feel like the 3d models looks marginally better than they did in 3 houses but can't figure out why...
what's going on here?
The support is about Shez wanting to find out about his mother, they decide to send a letter to the village he grew up in to see if they knew who she is or where she came from, they wait but they never get a letter back so Shez just accepts the fact that he'll probably never know and he can accept that and walks off, only for the last line of the support being that pic where Ashe is given presumably that letter from the village and then it just ends there, we never see what's in it.
I'm wondering, if you give the merc whistle to Ashe will they follow up on it, are those ending letters datamined yet?
Which route gets the most animated cutscenes
They all get the same amount
Will the next FE game have a girl that comes remotely close to Hapi?
I dont see her appeal
Massive breasts.
If only breasts its what you seek, dont others also fill that quota in game?
I love brown girls.
Fair enough
NTA, she's just cute, I like her voice and chill/lazy personality, her gimmick is fricking moronic, I'm glad they didn't lean into it that much in this game
The whole sighing brings monsters thing is such an insanely stupid idea, I have no idea what they were smoking when they came up with that. But yeah she's a cutie
they gave her huge breasts in three hopes, so now i can see some appeal.
was a dlc char so no one really cares.
Anyone else think its kinda strange how Hapi says she has a crush on Byleth from the start? They dont interact ever
This was the perfect game to release in Pride. They made the cast even gayer than in 3H and im here for it!
wait i haven't seen anything about this game
byleth talks?
yeah, you're controlling some dude who fought her in this iteration of the game
where do you get the new relics for lysithea and mercedes
Lysithea is towards the end of GW as an S rank
When/how do you get Blutgang? I wanna go Dancer Marianne
Aftertimeskip i think
The cutscenes in three hopes are a major improvement from Three Houses same with the lighting
The character models have been improved too. The minor tweaks to everyone's faces make a surprisingly big difference.
The game in general looks better and the CGs using the same models was a good call over the frick ups from hiring different artists in the original.
I'm just glad supports no longer take place in a skybox with visible seams
This too. 3Houses is so fricking ugly because of those backgrounds.
>Hegemon is cutscene only
>no 3H timeskip outfits
>no maid/butler outfits
Does every generation of their family have a Hevring/Bergliez buddy pair or what?
Probably. Fraldarius/Blaiddyd have the same dynamic.
I like how Felix and Sylvain almost have an inverted relationship to Rodrigue and Gautier. Felix is the Serious one hiding his emotions the same as Sylvain's dad.

What did Claude mean by this?
His globohomosexual mental illness was already part of three houses.
He was just allowed to truly play the part of a subversive piece of shit.
Would Rhea really marry Dimitri? She never did that with anyone else and a heartbreak once he dies would be very bad for her, so she'd better get enough kids with him she has something on her mind after he dies. I can see his advisors approving and it'd give permanent legitimacy to his rule at least, unless they decided to force him to marry insane Edelgard instead for less unrest in Empire territories once they inevitably take them.
It'd make sense from a political view for both of them, marrying Rhea would make his kingdom legitimacy once and for all, as you say, and would guarantee protection by the kingdom since they'd basically be part of the kingdom now.
Dimitri doesn't have issues marrying the political leader of fodlan going by AM either so no problems there.
FE perks, weapon triangle, strategies, reclassing. As a musou, it's actually pretty damn fun.
That would require dimitri to love her, because I don't ever see him marrying a woman he doesn't love
Who knows, he ends up the game not loving anyone seriously and he's a king, political marriages are the way to go.
Rhea fits Dimitri's type perfectly so I doubt it's an issue as long as they hang out more.
Looking at Dimitri supports he really has a thing for women who's faith is only smaller than their breasts
When you add in his houses support with Catherine, Rhea is literally his ideal woman
Dimitri is a king and as such does a lot of stuff purely for political benefit, including far worse shit than marrying someone he doesn't love, and they apparently do at the very least interact with a very healthy does of mutual respect and admiration. He mentions talking to Rhea about land cultivation and how she apparently has a lot of wisdom in many varying areas while Rhea can't stop praising him in every mission whenever she appears in Hopes.
It's mutual benefits. The Church is very important with a long history and a ton of followers, but very weak militarily. Faerghus is about to take over the Empire's lands and for all we know, Leicester too if Claude either fricks off or is stupid enough to try some shady shit, so with that Faerghus gains permanent legitimacy and far better approval from the faithful, Church gains the support of the most powerful military.
But truth be told, it'd still be more utilitarian to just marry Edelgard. It's not moral with how messed up her mind probably is, she probably won't ever get better, but there's no way Dimitri's advisors won't suggest doing that when it's so convenient.
>but there's no way Dimitri's advisors won't suggest doing that when it's so convenient.
I think he's just murder every single advisor who ever suggests it.
His advisors suggested all sorts of shit in Three Hopes, from bowing to Empire, accepting Southern Church so basically also bowing to Empire and admitting Faerghus is illegitimate, and they were fine. He would at best be slightly agitated at first until calming down and considering if they have a point. If he feels that course of action will lead to less deaths and suffering, he may take it.
But Faerghus already has permanent legitimacy though, and Dimitri hopes for a world that can sustain itself well even without elements of church beliefs.
??? Dimitri is the exact kind of man who would marry a woman he doesn't love for political purposes.
What additional political legitimacy? Faerghus is already legitimate as per Fodlan's standard laws. It was only in the eyes of Adrestia's war engine, pushing its government branch in name only southern church as legit and decrying all other churches as fake from their founding, that Faerghus would be illegitimate. In that case, marrying Rhea wouldn't make Faerghus any more legitimate.
She’s the pope. Fricking the pope gives you divinity. It’s fine.
The context of Dimitri's line is during the war after Adrestia's declaration of war, since the church was one of the parties verifying the creation of Faerghus (and Leicester). Also, if Adrestia claims the central church was never authentic, it's likely challenging Garreg Mach's nationhood as well, instead asserting that all of Fodlan is Adrestian territory.
>Faerghus is already legitimate as per Fodlan's standard laws. It was only in the eyes of Adrestia's war engine,
Except Dimitri himself says his country would be illegitimate without the church
>marrying Rhea wouldn't make Faerghus any more legitimate.
Garreg Mach is a legitimate state edelgard can't do anything against beyond declaring some bullshit.
If the kingdom marries its political leader, adestria has no point anymore because it becomes legitimate through marriage in the eyes of adestria.
How quickly did the Nabateans repopulate given how Rhea looks at Dimitri?

-3/year
So this is soft confirmation that Seiros and Wilhelm were fricking, right?

>Rhea is shat on by literally everyone in 3Hopes
So does IS just hate Rhea?
Dimitri doesn't shit on her, personally, he just has his gripes with the church, which is understandable because the western church is a steaming pile of garbage that should be nuked.
He admires her and generally likes Rhea.

You know, considering how vengeful Sothis is with her memories, I can understand why the Agarthans tried to preemtively nuke her.
She is vengeful because of the way they murdered her, you know.
Why is there a sacred weapon for crests of cichol that are fists and not lances, and a sacred axe for the crest of seiros?
Seteth had a lot of pent up rage around the time his wife died. Rhea got bored of punching peoples' faces in, so she chose a different outlet.

Have you ever looked at enemy character stats?
Rhea has maxed stats in every weapon skill in the game. The 4 saints used to be gigachads that maxed out almost every class in the game.
bawd.
She's loyal to her canon husband claude
wife!
So what sets this apart from other musous?
Arval's feet. actually weapon triangle, classes, story if you just go AG and ignore those two other dumpster fires, the characters. It's way better than the other musous I've played.
What about the FPS? Is it constant 30 or does it drop? I worry because the first FE musou was kinda meh.
30 with drops when a lot of stuff is going on, because

emulated has no issues.
Does Chapter 15 of Azure Gleam have a map section or should I grind the last supports now?
It has only the final stage
That'd still be better than continuing to tiptoe around them interacting
No I mean Sothis doesn't want to be resurrected so even if she knew who Rhea was she'd still stay undercover.
Damn so I should grind supports now then.
>It has only the final stage
Can you still access the training facilities and stuff?
To be fair Sothis has no memory of Rhea and even if she did she would be angry.
Isn't the whole Dimitri x Rhea thing because of an offhand comment he makes about his bloodline not ending with him in CF?
In AG, it's purely because of this face
she makes as he comes back from killing her mortal enemy, where she looks wet as frick.
Yeah it's just a crack ship. He never shows any romantic attraction to her and they don't have a support even in the 3Copes datamine.
It’s a kino ship
Is Three Copes better than Persona 5 strikers in gameplay? I was thinking of getting one of them but I don't know which
I personally like hopes more because the fire emblem aspects work really well with musou gameplay. P5S is kind of boring in how it presents itself. You'll be in cutscenes more than gameplay if you go P5S
Hm it's close, but I'd say Persona Strikers has better gameplay, it feels a bit closer to an action RPG like FF7R than a typical musuo. 3 Hopes is pretty good for a musuo and it has some light strategy/tactics aspects where you need to send your units to deal with enemies they counter
Persona imo has better combat, some of the bossfights are pretty fun compared to the joke that boss fights are in 3 Hopes
>Edelgard becomes Dimitri and Rhea's adoptive daughter
>she regains her sense of self one night out of the blue
>walks in on Dimitri and Rhea making her a sister
>Dee... why are you making mommy rhea cry like that... please srop hurting her... you made edelgard cry...
Consider that Sothis's last memories are probably getting killed in her sleep and having her spine carved out.
Would you consider Jeralt handsome?
No
Absolutely
Why did they make Judith such a jobber. Her death made me laugh because it was the first time she actually did anything in a battle and she died instantly
Because she is a jobber
>a Dimitri and Rhea child with a major Blaiddyd Crest
It's the same as his kids with frog.
Absolute monsters.
I'm pretty sure dimitri's brute strength comes from himself rather than his crest
No other crest holder does what he does
No other crest holder has the crest of Blaiddyd
Holst is a crestlet and he's supposed to be a force of nature too
Holst couldn't take Dimitri in a fight. Dimitri's strength is his own but amplified by his crest. Hilda is probably in the same situation where she's strong otherwise but the crest amplifies it tenfold
From Caspar's description, his father's training methods are as insane as the shit Dimitri does
I think the difference here is those two have to put in effort, Dimitri just does it without thinking
If the first son was born a crestlet and the second son had a major crest, who would inherit the kingdom?
It'd be a pretty shit situation, since you can tell some nobles would support the secondborn purely because of his crest.
But one of them would inherit rhea's position.
Depends on Sylvain and his progress with Sreng. If he made peace then the first, if not then the second.
>a kid that can break metal spoons as an infant and can wield super weapons
>a kid that can't
The choice is obvious to who should be the heir, but that's still an impossible scenario if he marries Rhea. If just donating some blood grants a major crest of the dragon, being born of one should guarantee the major crest because it's the dragon's offspring who also is at least partially a Nabatean. Even if for some reason it doesn't, Rhea can just give her blood to the child to give it the crest of Seiros, so the point is moot.
Well now that's an entirely different problem, you have a shit ton of new crestgays runnibg around
Dimitri eats raw meat and grass when he gets hungry, no way he knows how to pull out, and Rhea is infamlusly clingy and dependent, so she wouldn't know how to back away
And then you have a legion of crestgays that can kill wolves with a fart at age 5, with no accountability. Like even three kids would be too much to control
Would they transform if given dragon stones?
>Like even three kids would be too much to control
i have faith in both Rhea and Dimitri. Sitri by all acounts was a nice person. and dimitri is a known moralgay
I wouldn't be so sure, something's off with Dimitri's bloodline. Rufus's absolutely nuts, Dimitri can be nuts as boar and we know his ancestor was genocidal because he was one of the Elites. It might've been a result of trauma but he sure seems like he has some mental illness prone genes. I think they'd make for great parents to the point that'd never be an issue, though.
Rufus and dimitri are hardly the best examples. They both got mindbroken(and possibly actually raped)by agarthians. Being crazy isnpar for the course. Hell, it's a miracle dimitri got away with slight bloodlust, survivor's guilt, and being a tinge feral. Things could be much worse for him

She's dumber, but less of a c**t.
She's asking to get backstabbed both during her route and after her route ends.
that's why ag is the best outcome for edelgard. now she at least has an unga bunga paladin to take care of her
SB is literally "Everyone who was against us conveniently killed each other! Yay!"
They were in the process of killing them, Thales and Rhea just saved her the effort
Claude the rat is very much alive.
Only if you let him
That may be the moral of the game.
Jeralt deserves to die for taking on a mission to assassinate the king of Leicester. Also why did the slithers want Claude dead so badly?
They hate Almyrans more than even the Fodlani
he was stealing their thunder
>Rhea just jumps over Edelgard and Shez instead of taking everyone down with her
>Claude's entire fricking route
>"Unique" classes are literally the same as others
There's just so many things wrong with this game. That's just a few but I can spend hours on things that are so simple to fix and there's just no effort at all. I am so fricking mad
? The one "unique" class that's the same as others is Saint being Mortal Savant 2, Enlightened One has its own move set
And how is she going to take down everyone with her, with a sword?
Turn into a dragon and swallow them.
You already kicked her ass so hard she turned back from being a dragon, to human, just prior
Asura and Enlightened ones are their own movesets. Shez dodge rolls while based Chadleth sidesteps. The Lord classes are all unique since Claude is the only flying arhcer and Dimitri is a living beyblade. Edelgard's is the least unique barring the Deathknight which doesn't hide that it's a modified Dark Knight because they actually lock you out of using Dark Knight with Jeritza.
I joined my queen, Edelgard.
I hope I can slaughter both Rhea and Flayn. Again.
FRICK DRAGONS
Claude's route is kino and way better than his boring three houses route.
>Claude gets convinced too easily by edelgard reeeee
He wasn't convinced by shit he's just being a slimy opportunist. He lies constantly throughout GW but on this one occasion you take him at his word lol?
I agree but I wish Claude didn't use Edelgard's "facts" for the reasoning. His "I just want to see a world without you" was enough
Him being an opportunist only makes sense if there's actually an opportunity being taken. He gains no benefit from being Edelgard's lapdog and killing Rhea unless he truly means what he says.
>doesn't actually change into a different outfit
Kind of disappointing in a way
I'm guessing these aren't actually in game? Devs hate tulpas, those bastards.
They are, but they're just bonus post game/NG+ characters, and you can't use them in story missions
You can play as them, just with generic classes, they don't get a unique one, and if thet did it would be a clone class anyway
They are, same as Rhea, you can unlock them with renown. You get the Gatekeeper in your third run
Stupid dragon
Just finished my first run
Went with Deers and I gotta say they made Claude WAY more interesting here than in three houses. Him literally sacrificing his "allies" to put himself in a more favorable position was the kind of shit I expected to see in the original with how they hyped him up. Him going against the church is pretty in line with his anti traditionalist views so that wasn't very surprising. It was really nice to see Lorenz and Hilda finally get their family members to bounce off too. Gave them a lot more depth that they were sorely lacking compared to the BL squad. My only real complaint is that the ending felt hollow since it just abruptly finishes once you kill Rhea and there aren't even any paired endings or anything. Of course that might be intentional since you're playing as John Slither instead of Jesus this time. The best part of this game by far though was portraying the lords as actual lords and having political talks while weighing the pros and cons of each action. Overall it BTFOs 3H and a lot of other FEs too imo
Marianne is cute!
>seteth support with flayn
is there a single character in this game that's not autistic?
Shamir
She's awful with half her supports ending with

Is there a list of all the different letters at the end?
The leader letters are hilarious to me since Shez is ditching his BFFs while the war is still going on. The Claude one is especially hilarious since it feels like Shez defected and Claude is trying to talk him back into a retaliatory trap or sending the letter at all is a "you're not fully hidden you can't do this to me" seethe and Shez is fighting off Almyrans and Leicester troops as part of his/her daily life.
Shez is still there, at least for the duration of the war, it's just that them and the letter writer are a bit autistic and would rather write than talk about things
If Shez is writing a letter, he's already slipped away, and while he might come back, the idea that he went on a vacation in the middle of a war is hilarious, especially if he's trying to ditch Claude without explicitly ditching Claude.
And people wonder why there's constant war in Hopesverse.
To be fair anyone with sense would want to ditch Claude
>all Shez gets for being a good boy is a recommendation letter
Cheeky c**t
Myson shows up way too much in Azure Gleam to be a generic

Gas all localizers.
Byleth's pronouns are kid/ashen demon
Actual localisation issue. I'm playing in jap and they say he/him
Speaking of which anon, can you confirm if the JP script calls Cleobulus a he?
I'm playing through Claude's route. I don't think this person shows up there.
Japanese doesn't use pronouns, larper
She's mostly uses あいつ, but I'm pretty sure I've heard "he" being used in battle at least once. Not worth the trouble of double checking, since the verbiage in Japanese doesn't sound strange outside of being animu theatrical speech.
trying to save on voice acting perhaps?
Wouldn’t surprise if it was that combined with a bit of laziness. Something similar happened with Awakening and the mute option.
>Pay everyone extra for redoing one set of lines for female Byleth and one for male

>Claude: The church even forbids any official contact with outside regions!
What the actual frick is Claude talking about
The Empire has contact with Brigid and us in the Kingdom have contact with Duscur and are developing it with Sreng
What the frick?
Not only that he starts a fricking race war because why not
>Dimitri agrees with him
What the actual frick is going on right now
They're contradicting shit not just from Three Houses but also from this game
The Kingdom teams up with Duscur
The Alliance teams up with Almyra (VW)
The Empire teams up with Brigid
Rhea has an Almyran and a Dagdan advisor
Did the writers have a stroke or something?
the only inconsistent thing here is dimitri agreeing wth claude. everything else is very much in character for him
>the only inconsistent thing here is dimitri agreeing wth claude
Uh that's the only thing he is talking about
I genuinely don't understand what they're getting at here, if Claude is supposed to be saying something that's wrong then why is Dimitri agreeing with him
This shit doesn't make any sense, following the Church has never gotten in the way of making alliances with outside powers
It's actually just bad writing
It's another instance of they want to make X looks justified so they make a sweeping claim that doesn't line up with anything else in the game.
It was mentioned in Three Houses as well, though at least Claude actually questioned it there
Which chapter is that?
https://fedatamine.com/en-us/scenarios/230
Kek this like directly contradicts what Claude is saying in Three Hopes
Which one is it, IS? You can't have it both ways.
Writing difficurt. Prease understand
I think you're failing to get it anon, Claude in Three Hopes is supposed to be a worse off Claude, he doesn't care about the truth in this game, he never digs deep and he just takes what he sees as the shortest path to his goals. Three Houses Claude is Claude at his best, so if anything Three Hopes is actually an endorsement for Rhea because the better Claude knew that she wasn't actually his enemy. Three Hopes is not supposed to be a golden route, it's more like the opposite.
Honestly that sounds like a cope. I don't think the writers intended that, they just fricked up the story. Edelgard and Dimitri haven't had the same level of difference between their Houses counterparts.
Anon read the fricking dev interviews, they admitted the differences without Byleth we're intentional.
Just because obviously they intended for the characters to behave differently without Byleth it doesn't mean Claude's writing being a dumpster fire was intentionally, they obviously intended to make Claude be right since everyone and their mother agrees with him yet everything else on the game contradicts his every word
>they obviously intended to make Claude be right
There have been posted screenshots of characters disagreeing with Claude or admitting to only being there out of obligation, comparing that with VW you can obviously tell the devs know Claude is fricked up here.
No, the shadow realm conversations have Dimitri explicitly agree with Claude's abortion of a speech where he blames quite literally everything wrong with Fodlan on the church. Characters may call out Claude's actions but never his anti church logic, at most you get Marianne doubting if killing Rhea is truly right but when the rest of the characters all just agree with him it's hard to deny the writers meant for him to be right to an extent but massively fricked up
>No, the shadow realm conversations have Dimitri explicitly agree with Claude's abortion of a speech
But doesnt Dimitri argue in the Church's favor there?
He says that he agrees that the church is bad but his position as king prevents him from acting upon it.
>There have been posted screenshots of characters disagreeing with Claude
About the church? No, so it's not intended.
Then why does Dimitri agree with him as if what he's saying is true?
Dimitri even knows that it isn't true because he's been improving relations with Duscur.
They've actually gone full moron with Claude in this game. He's claiming you can't be pro-Church and make outside alliances when in Verdant Wind he is pro-Church and makes outside alliances with Almyra. What a shitshow.
>when in Verdant Wind he is pro-Church
not really. he outright wants to kill rhea and is constantly fedora tipping in his supports
The entire reason there is a conflict in 3H is because he chooses the Church over the Empire. In Verdant Wind he's literally working hand in hand with the Church of Seiros. His support chain with Cyril ends with him saying he doesn't need to make an enemy of her.
He has problems at first yes but he realises that his concerns aren't founded in anything and realises the Church is not his enemy.
well, thing is he dosn't have a support with cyril in 3 copes and he choses to work in edelgard instead, so i don't know what's so confusing for you here. what i'm saying he was always the kind of c**t who entertained the idea od killing rhea and razing church to the ground. it's not something that just came out of left field
I feel like it's also worth mentioning that this is a response to something Cyril says earlier
>Don't matter. Lady Rhea said nobody could go in, so I can't let ya through.
>I gotta do what Lady Rhea says. You wanna break them rules, then you'll be her enemy.
>Fine, I get it!
>I wouldn't hesitate to make an enemy of Rhea if it came to that...
>But I'd rather not fight with you. So I'll back off. For now.
So it's not even like Claude is saying that he considered Rhea to be his enemy before the conversation started. He's just speaking hypothetically.
he's literally allied with the church in verdant wind, did you even play that route
Watch his Cyril support anon
>he outright wants to kill rhea
No he doesn't
play the game again, speed-reader-kun, but this time don't skip through the dialogue
No. I'm right and you are wrong.
Where the hell did he even get this impression that this is true?
>and us in the Kingdom have contact with Duscur
And even the Church help with that
And another one
I found a playlist with all of the support convos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-Hm3rGMVE2t6APVor2aeCrB5rnCfi2ED
They made the boss fight for Scarlet Blaze and then ran out of time to make more
So they split Thales to AG and that left Rhea for GW
That's the real reason
Torment of the Eagle and the Lion was a much better Gronder than Gronder tbh
>they just give you amyr in SB, no reason at all just an S rank reward
I hate this game so much
Aymr is a moleman weapon, and you just beat up Moleman Jesus and stole his shit
The Slithers were really impressed with your slick moves, Anon.
you apparently get blutgang in GW for that mission which makes even less sense
You could chalk it up to Claude being a more negative person in Hopes because he never experiences the Officer's Academy but then why would Dimitri agree with him when he knew it wasn't the case?
Why didn't edelgard and shez verify rhea and thales died? They're basically superhuman. Its almost guaranteed they lived. That ending felt so bad.
That ending was so fricking dumb. Edelgard and Shez literally have a "WE DID IT REDDIT!" moment and then walk away as if they won the war.
>we still don't know what happened to patricia
The moral of 3H and Hopes is: don't be an atheist/protestant.
Just got to chapter 10/end of part 1 on Azure gleam. Is there really no plot explanation beyond the 6 month time skip for why you and dimitri can suddenly unlock your master classes? I thought there would be some dramatic event instead they just go yeah you can switch once you upgrade the training grounds. Also is there any reason NOT to take the GD crew claude drops on you at the start of the chapter?
>church apparently approves of the annexation of duscur and sreng
Isn't that just CF?
Its about the previous annexations of Duscur and Sreng mentioned in the backstory
So uh, the kingdom is a conquering warmongering nation?
You find a history book in Azure Gleam that Sreng lost that territory because they lost a war where they invaded the Kingdom first.
Welll, thye kingdom and the church are still to blame for that one because... they just ARE, ok?
Yeah and who wrote that book
There are also multiple characters who talk about the historical account of Sreng attacking first. There's literally no evidence to suggest otherwise.
Faerghus historians who know more about it than some Adrestian princess
Duscur was Slither fricker, Sreng fricked themselves by invading Faerghus first. It's like nothing correct ever comes out of her mouth
And yet Dimitri, who is working with the Church, is working on making it independent
see
Looks like Edelgard was wrong about the Church yet again
Kingdom conquering other nations = good
Apparently it's true that the Goddess gave her creations the land, lol
Are you ESL? That's not what she's saying. She's saying that some Kingdom nobles who are religious claim that the Goddess granted them the land. That's not the Church saying that the Goddess granted them that land, that's the nobles claiming that.
The Church clearly didn't disapprove of it, or else these devout nobles wouldn't be saying the Goddess approved of it
>The Church clearly didn't disapprove of it
Evidence for this? You're assuming things.
>or else these devout nobles wouldn't be saying the Goddess approved of it
No, they definitely would. Historically nations would make claims like this all the time. When England defeated the Spanish Armada they credited their victory to God, saying it was his wins that won them the day and thus God sided with them. Obviously that was not the official view of the Catholic Church.
In Three Houses, there are priests at Garreg Mach who hate Duscur, it clearly wasn't something the Church condemned
B-b-b-but
And Rhea sends aid to Duscans in Azure Gleam. So clearly it's not Church policy and a matter of personal prejudice.
Rhea's a pretty shitty archbishop, she should spend less time playing with children and actually keeping her subordinates in line, and not letting genocides happen in the name of the goddess
>and actually keeping her subordinates in line, and not letting genocides happen in the name of the goddess
The Church wasn't involved in Duscur.
I meant not leting nobles claim the genocide happened in the name of the goddess, is there any evidence that Rhea made a decree or something? Rhea never seems to do anything anyway, which is actually a problem with Edelgard and Claude's viewpoint, she's a useless b***h who should have retired
What makes you think they did it for the goddeds and not the literal king who was murdered?
the picture that started this discussion
not talking about the genocide itself, but about the people who claim the goddess approved of it and the subseqent annexation
That proves Edelgard's ignorance regarding the situation because it was in no way done in the goddess's name. It was about the king being killed and being invaded, not the goddess granting land
Yes and you'd think Rhea would no more to stop people from claiming their bad deeds are done in the name of the Goddess
It wasn't done in the name of the goddess. Everyone from Faerghus would tell you it was revenge for the King's death.
>those who side with the central church boast that the goddess granted them this land
The annexation, not the genocide
The annexation of Duscur was the natural conclusion and a part of the "punishment" dealt by Faerghus. Sreng was, again, a punishment for their attempts to invade. It's not that hard to understand.
Would the goddess approve of the annexation?
>Rhea should be more authoritarian and clamp down on anybody who says something she disagrees with!
What the actual frick do you want?
You started your argument by implying the Church interfering in politics by giving the go-ahead for annexation was a bad thing.
After finding out that they didn't actually do that you're now saying she should always interfere in politics no matter what.
You have the IQ of wet cement.
No I said that either the Church is actually approving of the annexation, which is bad, or by not disapproving it, they're allowing people to claim the goddess approves of it, both of which are bad.
>or by not disapproving it, they're allowing people to claim the goddess approves of it, both of which are bad.
One of the main tenets of religion is that conquest is bad and it scared the Goddess away.
a tale as old as time itself
So if a clergyman claimed that and Rhea did nothing to deny it would Edelgard be ignorant
Yes because the consensus of the people who actually commited the genocide was that it was done as revenge. If it was a thing of the goddess, then the slither's wouldn't have had to put up an entire fricking conspiracy to get the army to do it.
What consensus you keep spewing Rhea's minions are allowed to have their opinions with 0 fricking repercussion you fricking mong
The consensus of the people of Faerghus you moron. No one in Faerghus will attribute Sreng or Duscur to the goddess. They would say it was punishment for their actions
>but about the people who claim the goddess approved of it and the subseqent annexation
Random people claiming things doesn't make it Church policy.
Not even Edelgard is claiming that the Church gave them the go-ahead.
Edelgard is saying that some of the corrupt Kingdom nobles claim that the Goddess granted them the right to annex Sreng and Duscur. This is not the Central Church saying that the Goddess says they should do it. These are men who want land using the Goddess as a justification for why they should own more land.
And yet, Edelgard is keeping A church around.
Meaning people will still use the word of a God to justify their actions as they see fit
>I meant not leting nobles claim the genocide happened in the name of the goddess
So now Rhea should personally interfere in every random person who has a moronic religious take? I thought it was bad when she destroyed the Western Church who backed Duscur???
Just remember, when Rhea does something, it's overreach; when she does nothing it's either an endorsement or apathy, whichever makes her look worse.
Maybe she should just frick off
rheagays have bigger victim complexes than rhea herself, which is impressive considering rhea was the victim of a genocide
This, it's moron logic. If she did interfere it would be cited as an example of overreaching into politics which also mean Rhea bad. They don't even know what they want Rhea to do, they just want Rhea dead because Edelgard wants it and they will therefore twist any scenario into Rhea being the bad guy.
Destroying the Western Church was probably the only good thing Rhea ever did as archbishop, she's fricked up every other time. Should have let Loog finish the fight
rhea was too busy trying to resurrect her mommy and jerking off to sitri's corpse
Why have you convinced yourself that Rhea personally gave the go-ahead for random people from another country to claim moronic shit?
The genocide was done for Lambert, not the goddess. The church couldn't have stopped that no matter how hard the tried. People were infatuated with their king and chose to avenge him over abiding by the goddess's teachings.
>randos working at Garreg Mach approve of it, ergo everyone in the Church as a whole approves of it
>One random guy is self-admittedly personally a racist, therefore the entire Church approves of ethnic cleansing
that's a logical conclusion sure
people have already shit on you a lot but that's literally not what edelgard is saying
she's saying that religious nobles use religion as a justification for their warmongering
that does not mean the church approves of it
people are just quibbling
Big words coming from the Empire. Isn't Brigid still their vassal state during Hopes?
I think Edelgard is more pissed about them using religion to justify conquest
What route would it make most sense for Nemesis to be on?
cethleann...
>One of the saints ends up associated with fish solely because her mother cooked with fish a lot
sreng is justified in invading
Loog was slither frickery Edelgard is justified in taking Adestrian land back
Can I just S-rank missions on the easy mode for the same rewards?
Yeah that's what I do
I hate S-ranks since Hyrule Warriors because they basically force you to replay the mission almost every time because of moronic time and k. o. requirements. You killed 1999 soldiers? Frick you, that's not enough, do over again. This system doesn't motivate you to play better and polish your skills, like in Bayonetta for example, it just feels like a frustrating padding
I think I am blind, I've never been able to find duscur in the maps they show during this game and houses
It is labeled as Kleiman territory because they are the ones who took over after the genocide.
Oh wow I am so moronic
so I actually finished my playthrough yesterday
Scarlet Blaze, because I actually like those kids more than the rest. People hate on Edelgard, but she's basically a better Daenerys. Not great, but not shitty either.
Game itself is decently good even if you dont like musous, but compared to Houses feels a bit underwhelming.
Got the "hidden" chapters, and its a bit underwhelming.
Tied with that, I said it from the first moment: you take away my hot hebe goddess and I have to deal with this alien albino homosexual? worst choice ever
Also, I dont get to marry Bernadetta? tf were you thinking devs
That being said, the ending is somewhat satisfactory and I didnt have to kill that many of the kids so I'm OK.
The DLC gonna need some sort of fricking golden ending if they want me to come back tho.
end of blogpost by saying that Rhea is massively hot and Flayn massively cute even if she's a moron

Edeltards really need to play a different route to at least know the truth of what happened instead of talking shit. This is embarrassing
Cutesythea
I love her so much.
Edelgard is technically a descendant of Rhea and Sothis and ended up being a seething womanlet LMAO.
imagine how nice fodland would be if Claude and Edelgard were aborted and Dimitri was king.
Rhea is a racist that had to be stopped she literally keeps a little brown boy and a full grown brown woman as slaves.
All those schizophrenics who kill people in the name of Allah or Jesus are now officially endorsed by the religious leaders of Islam and Christianity.
It depends if they are employed by the pope or not, there are shitton of religions.
Stop falling for schizo bait, post about your favorite dragons instead
Flayn needs a new mom

Seteth breasts
Any route where you hurt these two be it physically or emotionally is a bad end, simple as
Dragons? More like target practice.
>Kill somebody
>Claim that it was the will of God
>"Pope Francis is to blame"
To be honest Pope Francis typically is to blame.
the fact that nobody ever disagrees with people in-game when they say the church promotes xenophobia or whatever means we must be missing the other half of the book of seiros that preaches all that stuff, or nobody, even the religious people, has actually read it
or its bad writing
I find the latter option the most believable
It'd be funny if Rhea herself hasn't read it in a thousand years, and nobody has ever bothered to tell her
If they did neither the Empire or Kingdom would need their nobles to have crests
>or its bad writing
Hmmm....
As far as we know Rhea might be nice but the church as a whole is a corrupt shithole and Rhea makes 0 effort to put her people in line regarding racism or people attributing atrocities to Sothis.
That's what I'm inclined to think, that Rhea is too preoccupied with trying to resurrect Sothis and so does the bare minimum in actually ruling, only caring about whatever doesn't start a war, and also taking care of orphans and puppies. Still makes Rhea look lazy, you'd think she'd appoint enough cardinals she trusts to handle things better
>says this while standing next to Holst, a noble with no crest who inherited his seat over his crest holding sister. beloved and respected as a powerful warrior everywhere in fodlan despite not having a crest
Isn't it stated that the church doesn't have a lot of influence in the Alliance
And the Alliance is a part of Fodlan.
Seems as though the Eastern Church is more influential there
They have basically 0 influence on Adrestia and very little influence in Liescester
Isn't it because Edelgard made Bernie's dad the new pope
No, Adrestia kicked the church out about 100 years ago
No
The Kingdom as well
Miklan?
No, the image says the opposite anon
Gautier is a special case
More to do with him trying to murder his brother and less to do with him being a crestlet
And yet didn't the Empire undergo rapid reform in the two years timeskip of Hopes and the Church did nothing to intervene? Wasn't the Kingdom also undergoing reforms, though at a slower pace, and the Church still did nothing to intervene? Isn't the Alliance itself proof that the Church doesn't intervene at all since they're the least religious out of all the regions?
Of all the things I expected to create playing this.
This was not one of them.
Good. Mages are underrated. I have a defender's tome maxed out and was shitting on horses, armors, and archers with them
The Book of Seiros, Part II
>The descendants of the Heroes sought their ancestor's power, and thusly their blood. In time, they amassed Crests, Relics, land, and wealth, using all to set the land aflame with war. The goddess's power, intented to stern the flow of evil, became a tool of destruction, all because of the greed of humanity. The goddess grieved and, heartbroken, hid herself in the heavens from whence she came..."
I don't know from the Church's official doctrine it seems like the Goddess doesn't approve of conquest and some random corrupt nobles claiming that she does, doesn't actually mean anything.

WE MISSED OUT ON HAREM KINO.
Wow would you look at that it's another instance of a route manipulating the facts to make another faction look bad.
Nevermind that the Kingdom under Dimitri is actively restoring the land to Duscur.
Nevermind that Sreng lost land after invading Fodlan and then having to retreat when they lost the war.
No, it's much easier to just manipulate the context of things to make everybody except the route you're currently on look evil.
It only happens for edelgard though. Everyone admits Claude is a piece of shit doing the wrong things to get ahead in his route
I couldn't give less of a shit about morality it feels like its BLgays who are obsessed about being morally right , I like both Claude and Edelgard.
Could Edelgard have resolved this peacefully if she just opened a dialogue? maybe? probably? Is it more fun this way, yeah it is.
>Muh Blue Lions boogeyman
Yeah let's ignore that almost every single golden deer fab who's commented on Golden Wildfire in these threads had nothing but bad things to say about it
I'm not a deergay but I think nuClaude is fun
Deergays are moraltards too. Their whole shtick was that Claude had no war crimes and shit.
They have been utterly destroyed now
>Only Edeltards like Golden Dumpsterfire
Well figures, since their favorite route is CF, another poorly written mess
I think nuClaude is funny in a "so bad it's good way" but the actual writing for his route is legitimately shit
It makes sense if you paid attention to 3 Houses, Claude has always been chaotic but also very very ignorant of how Fodlan works. He's like Edelgard in that he has a victim complex.
VW still exist and is still canon homosexual.
Stop lying Slither
No one's allowed to criticize Edelgard, even when they have legitimate reason to be mad at her.
Siding with Edelgard is only justifiable if the game pretends that no other faction is trying to right injustices. Then you actually play Azure Gleam and see everything cited as something wrong with the Kingdom is also something the Kingdom is working to fix. Sylvain's paralogue ends with him pledging to find a peaceful settlement with Sreng.
How do we feel about Morfis being the "metropolis of Magic"? Sounds like a magi-tech cyberpunk like place.
Every outside culture we've seen doesn't give me high hopes for the technological level of other nations
>TFW no Marianne gf
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't one of the reasons that the western church was butthurt at the central church in 3 houses because it DIDN'T persecute foreigners and even let them enroll at Garreg Mach?
Shhhh anon, you're not supposed to prove Edelgard's moronic, the writers never accounted for that
So does any route have Kronya at all or is she just at the beginning of the game?
You kill her late in SB.
Anyone else wish there were DLCs chapters for the inevitable war with Claude in AG?
Only if it starts by them taking 12 year old Edel out of her misery
Question: does anyone else get lost on the maps? Whenever "I jump to a character they always seem to be turned the opposite way they were pointing and many paths seem to blend into the walls.
I swear the jabs at Shez felt like a personal attack, or an admittance by the devs that the map design is labyrinthine as all hell.
I always look at the map if I'm not killing someone, but I agree that I also hate that problem.
Did people here not actually play GW? Everyone in game (including himself) say he's a scumbag. Half his country nearly defects when he declares war on the church and is only resolved after he sends troops in
The problem isn’t that Claude is Le evil schemer. He’s just stupid.
>Half his country
Burh it's like 3 territories that didn't even exist before this game came out
Do you anons believe there's any symbolic reason to "A Funeral of Flowers" being the final boss theme for Golden Wildfire?
you're literally murdering Rhea who liked to sing the song. It's a requiem
I meant in the context of it being the final boss theme for Silver Snow too, the route most sympathetic towards Rhea in the narrative sense
ther's no deep symbolic meaning behind it. you fight rhea in both of those battles.
Yeah but in CF it plays Apex of the World
because cf is hubert's fanfiction so it's framed as you taking down a tyranical despot. ss and gw harbor no such delusions - you're unjustifiably taking down a creature who did pretty much nothing wrong in the grand scale of things
I thought this was the music
My bad, but you can definitely hear Rhea's leitmotif once they're fighting the immaculate one, I probably just got confused because of that
Edelgard
is cringe
>Petra at the end of AG is probably the most important person in the Empire
Based, she deserves it
what's going on with this mobile army base that moves around the continent every chapter? it looks like a bunch of castle ruins do they disassemble it brick by brick and rebuild it when they set up a new camp or are there just random castle ruins peppered all over the continent?
It's just an abstraction
Why would they waste resources on the fricking camp?
There are lots of castle ruins after 1000+ years of history
The game never goes into it but what did Edelgard's dad actually do?
Caligula-tier shit
what claude did in golden wildfire
Power grab + the purging if an entire noble family. Basically he was an evil butthole who got fricked over by other evil buttholes
