I’m not reading this thread but what’s the general consensus on map design from people that’s played it? Is post time skip better in that regard?

Does anyone know if Jeralt survived the timeskip or did I miss something?

Yes, all the avatar wanking throughout the series has finally cumulated in the avatar of this game literally being a God

Byleth confirmed to have a unique class post-timeskip, "Enlightened One"

Ferdinand wants to be better than Edelgard at everything Including being a cute girl.

4chan right now

Leaker-kun is currently playing a paralogue that looks like the volcano map from the trailer. Hope there won't be too much map reuse in the final game.

They gave Fates 36/40 fyi. Several pinches of salt are needed when it comes to this review methinks.

Byleth seems OP as hell in all these gameplay videos, I hope it’s just a virtue of playing on Normal mode and they won’t be a one (wo)man army on Hard.

The fact that Thani specifically said that it's a hard "timeskip" makes me think that people's theory about there being timey-wimey backwards and forwards stuff to try and prevent the war are wrong. Honestly I've been on the fence with regards to Thani this whole time, and while I still believe there's definitely some things that their lying about it's undeniable at this point that most of what they say is correct (average map design and all) Guess Micaiah fans aren't a bad breed after all!

Good call on Dimitri’s ornament being the same as Sothis’s I don’t think the person in the screenshot’s crown looks like Sothis’s though.

Never mind just found the pic that I was talking about. Comparing Thani’s pic of Edelgard with the art book, it seems he got the crown right at least but the armour seems more purple in the art book rather than red in the drawing. Also her hair seems to be tied up in a bun in the art book compared to hanging down in the drawing. I don’t know what to think of this tbh.

Does anyone have that picture of the three lords in their timeskip outfits that Thani drew so we can see if Edelgard matches the art book picture?

These designs look more Shin Megami Tensei than the designs in the actual SMT X FE crossover. Law, Chaos and Neutral paths when?

Honestly I don't think we'll get 100% confirmation on whether the leak is real or fake until the game comes out. Even if Thani ends up being right about the names there's still a very real possibility that he only knows some minor things and is making some of the bigger things up. TBH I'm almost hoping the leak gets killed with the next character reveal because otherwise we're all gonna be sitting here speculating over it right up until release.

At the very least one good thing came from this leak

There already is plenty of youtubers reporting on the leak, anyone in a position to stop him are definitely aware of what he's doing at this point. You underestimate how fast news travels.

Pretty sure if Nintendo was skeptical that ANY information was being leaked they would just shut down the thread no questions asked. The fact that Thani hasn't received any confrontation so far in this regard is another major warning flag

I doubt IS would make such a major and pivotal mechanic like the Monastery only for it to be abandoned mid way through the game. It would be like if you could no longer access My Castle halfway through Fates, just seems very weird and implausible to me. On the subject of credibility the stuff the leakers said before seems very wishy washy, I think his credibility hinges on whether the names of the unrevealed characters he's named are right or not at this point.

Just from going back over some of the information again probably the biggest red flag for me is the idea that the Monastery will slowly become less and less relevant as the game progresses. Up until now all information we've received about the game is centred primarily on the Monastery, its where we interact with our units, where we equip skills and weapons, buy soldiers etc. So for all that to be completely gone or awkwardly implemented by some other means after the timeskip raises a few eyebrows for me.

https://old.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/comments/bovt8v/three_houses_spoiler_thread/ A fairly credible Reddit user is currently doing a AMA claiming to have insider information on 3 Houses. As with any leaks take everything said with a grain of salt. TL;DR main leaks:

The whole Let’s Go format doesn’t lend itself well to Fire Emblem. Compared to Pokémon, Fire Emblem is still a super niche franchise Awakening did a good enough job attracting newcomers and they’re used to the gameplay style now. Simplifying the mechanics will only piss everyone off.

I honestly don’t know what to think of Byleth. Unlike all the other avatars his name isn’t very gender neutral and he looks like he has more of an edgelord personality compared to the other avatars which were mostly blank slates. I think he’ll be a silent main character with very limited customization options, literally just acting as a vehicle for the player to interact with the characters

Just pulled a 4 star Matthew, any builds you'd recommend?

Got Sanaki up to level 40. Pretty sure she's +ATK/-DEF which is really good. Seems like a more resistant and stronger version of Tharja, shame Green mages aren't more of a threat in the meta or else she'd be close to top tier
