I feel like there was a lot of cut content in that route or something. It's weirdly short too

are the other paths longer? eagles definitely felt short and rushed / cut content

yeah the other paths are 21-22 chapters instead of 18

statue bonuses and renown carry over (plus you now get a fuckload of renown on NG+), and you can use renown to buy back weapon ranks and other poo poo

Unfortunately only Eagles does and their potentially more interesting one is the shortest most disappointing route in the game. They really dropped the ball there and it sucks. :(

they can get paired endings if they have an A rank, but it goes based on the Closest Allies section in their profile. So it's like you get two people to A rank, and then you keep using them together so they get as many points as they can and become #1 allies. It's kinda annoying because sometimes it means you want to keep units away from each other so they don't get too attached. Some people have romantic paired endings, but some of them are platonic.

You can just not watch the support cutscenes and their ships wont develop, which I did my first playthrough bc i didnt know there could be marriages besides the main character's.

The whole Black Eagles route with Edelgard and deciding to fight against her was really powerful. This game has way more feels in it than I expected lol.

Having to kill former students was rough too, although I’m glad they didn’t put me against anyone I really liked... when it first started I was worried it would be a bloodbath and you’d have to take out nearly everyone you didn’t manage to recruit into your class

Black Eagles feels like the definitive route since it’s the one that gets you the most time with the major players in the story... I’ll be interested to see how well the other paths work, I’m on the last mission of Eagles now and will probably do a Blue Lions run before too long

I was just informed that it splits into two routes after I missed the Edelgard route :S I like to avoid spoilers as much as possible and was on my ng+ blind in black eagles. I actually thought that who the flame emperor/rebel leader was would just swap depending on the house lol, so I figured Claude would be the bad guy now that I picked Edelgard's house or something. So finding out that Edelgard did the same thing even when you're in her house was super shocking to me, and then my chat told me I missed the opportunity to join and it made me legit a little upset.. Cuae now it turns out this playthru might be a lot more like my previous one. Plus I have all these church dweebs in my party now.. sigh.

The good news is, I still have Ferdinand, my favorite guy. And I am able to keep his hair short, like I wanted. And that was my goal for this playthru... So my thinking is I will finish this playthrough so I can keep my renown and stuff. Then next ng+ pick black eagles again and do the other route this time?? And possibly even try to marry edelgard cause I just found out shes bi... Then after that blue lions cause i never saw that before.

Really tho im crazy lol there are two big things of dlc coming so i need to start one of my new games and set this aside!! I should try to table this game soonish and wait for dlc to drop. Its hard tho lol i love srpg...

I dunno what route to play next after BE. Maybe Claude, he seems cool, but apparently his route is super similar to the other BE one? Sounds weird lol

It is but it's also the one that has the most satisfying ending. Its unique final level is also really cool.

Part II of blue lions is really cool but idk how it compares, im still on part 1 of my Claude playthrough. I gave up on maddening though bc it isn't very fun

Do you guys fw Seteth or no? I never rly connected with him and he sort of bugs me for some reason but i have no idea why. I think maybe just bc he seems too serious. And I dislike the way he treats flayn its kind of patriarchal imo.

I definitely hated Seteth at first but I grew to kinda like him by the end of Silver Snow. I liked that he's loyal to Rhea but not like a brainless servent. He has some good paralogues with like Bernie and other people that reveal he has a sense of humor.

I paired him off with Catherine and they have this awkward ending

definitely get him and Flayn's support to A

I used him on silver snow and he won me over. He's pretty cool. His supports with Hilda and Bernie are my favorites because they bring out his passion as a writer.

waiting for all of the dlc to come out before i come back to this .. i did 2 routes and one was the short black eagle one. i suppose theres technically 4 right now and the dlc is adding 1 more (?). the new difficulty levels will be nice too

Punished Chuck
Dec 27, 2010

I liked Seteth, he kinda has a stick up his butt but only because he takes his responsibility towards Rhea and Flayn seriously and I like characters like that, especially when you see him open up and show his sense of humor in some of the supports. His and Flayn’s paralogue shows why he’s a little overbearing with her and it makes sense, and in their supports he learns to back off a little.

I feel bad because he’s the only character I lost, he died towards the very end of the game and I just pushed on because I was nearly done with the level and he just “retreated” instead of actually dying. But it turns out if you do that then their Animal House “where are they now” thing will say that they died of their wounds shortly after the war. RIP homie

new dlc came out yesterday with saunas and dogs and cats I guess? some new costumes. I haven’t bought the pass yet. Now you can make teachers wear their class’s battle uniforms in battle instead of their default outfits.

Jeritza is now available if you’re playing on Crimson Flower. He gets supports with his sister and both Byleths but nobody else. He’s free as part of the update and you don’t need the pass.

Anna is part of the pass, but doesn’t have any supports, even with Byleth.
