Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Well, depending on how much investment it takes to actually raise weapon skill (which is probably a lot since there's a whole school mechanic around it), focusing everyone on axes in addition to whatever else might just get them stuck in sucky classes for way longer.

My Edlegard's only going to use the axe. Or any weapon that's heavier.

Why would you do anything other than use a female axe lord?

Anyway, isn’t that lord promotion another check for that leak? Does anyone have the full list of stuff from it?

It's not a check for the leak since there has been like 2 FEs without a Lord class.

Quick Translations:

There are now support attacks, kinda like Fates except you don't need to be adjacent. Nearby allies will attack your target if they're in range. This is tied into the support system and they get better with levels. There are also Support Gambits.

There's a new version of Pair-up called "Adjutant" or "Aide" or whatever. You can assign 1 character to be someone else's adjutant, but you can only have so many total in your army, based on Byleth's Guidance level. The adjutant does basically the same stuff you'd expect from Awakening (follow-up attacks, blocking, etc), but it sounds like they can't swap to the front and it doesn't specifically say they give base stat buffs. Basically a limited version of that system.

Doors/Treasure Boxes/Etc are now called "Field Gimmicks" which isn't new but I guess the system has a name now. Basically anything on the map that you can interact with is called a Gimmick. There's a picture of a drawbridge as an example.

After you pass the exam to unlock a class, it is unlocked forever. You can freely switch to it without spending any item or anything.

Some more Class Skills (which cannot be taken to other classes, as opposed to Custom Skills)

Lord: Charisma: Adjacent Allies deal +3 damage
Thief: Lockpick + Steal (steal non-weapons from enemies who have less speed than you)
Pegasus Knight: Canto + Eva+10
Archer: Bow Range +1
Priest: Some spell called "Live" and +10 to all healing magic

There's a button on the school menu to skip forward to the next battle, all students will have their skill-ups and whatever assigned automatically. You can just skip this entire section of the game, it sounds like.

There are free battles between set battles, but it takes up "deployment power" to go on them. Sounds finite.

Some more personal skills revealed:

Ferdinand: Confidence: +15 accuracy/evasion when at full HP
Bernadette: Paranoia: +5 damage when not at full HP
Mercedes: Altruism: She heals herself whenever she heals someone else
Ashe: Street Smarts (lit: Knowledge for Survival): Always has the effects of the Lockpick skill
Raphael: Forager: Luck% Chance to heal 10% of max HP at the start of the turn
Lysithea: Genius: Earns 2x EXP from battle

I guess there are also little blurbs on the characters:

Ferdinand: the legitimate son of duke, he's extremely proud of his lineage and social standing
Ashe: The adopted son of a lord, he devotes himself to his studies to live up to his father
Raphael: Both parents died in an accident, but he's a cheerful, positive guy
Lysithea: Eldest daughter of a count, she's a magical prodigy who's younger than the other students

For what it's worth, Bernadette was an Archer in the original trailer. I guess with +1 range it could be fairly safe to leave her at reduced HP.

Yeah, that's it. It's the same word.

Also I didn't mention this, but it works the same way as Fire did from the previous Famitsu: you can also equip it as a Custom Skill, but if you have both it'll have double the usages.

The way the Guidance thing is phrased makes it sound like Aides are deployed separately from your main army? So if a map has 12 slots, you'd deploy twelve characters plus whatever your Aide limit is. So it seems more like a way for benched characters to be somewhat useful?

Not too worried about that after it came out you can just automatise and skip everything that has to do with the school stuff. Not that I would since that makes no sense but at least it shows it's not that important to the core experience.

As a random example, Warframe got like 200% better when they added fishing and mining.

She was in a couple bits of gameplay footage but we never saw her in dialogue or full body art, just her icon on the map. Golden Deer has another female student like that who also looks pretty good.



Considering that two of their characters are the last two to get full body portraits, Golden Deer really living up to the Hufflepuff legacy, lol.

Also, new white haired girl is named Lysithea and her Japanese VA is Aoi Yuuki.

quote:

The eldest daughter of Duke Cordelia’s family. She’s the academy’s youngest student and something of a magical prodigy.

Do we know if the game will have dual audio yet?

also keep in mind 'Duke Cordelia' is what they're called in Japanese, so it might just be a coincidence and not an intentional callback to Cordelia from Awakening, since her JP name was Tiamo. Who knows, though.

Eh, it's not like they've given out anything super important yet, and the game has a simultaneous worldwide release, so it should be pretty easy to avoid major spoilers.
