  1. I was going to choose Edelgard first, but now I'm really worried about Dimitri, I just need to know that he and the Blue Lions crew are okay and happy before I can play the other routes. Edelgard also looked very unhappy in the last trailer, so I just... I don't know... Maybe I should just play the two routes simultaneously...

    That being said, I wish Lorenz and Sylvain weren't the obsessed-with-women type, I find that to be kind of scary and also tiresome. But I wouldn't say I hate them or anything. Well, maybe Lorenz's hair, but that's not his fault.

    My point is Byleths parents are assholes.

    This was so much fun to read 😆😆

    On Jeralt: either he is evil, he is not our actual father or his appearence is a disguise. I don't believe for one second that the sacred chosen hero that can wield a legendary weapon and has a powerful crest is just the son of a random mercenary guy, unless he slept with Seiros herself or something.

    I completely agree. Either he was charged with taking care of Byleth, or he's the MVP, because Byleth's dad has to have some very peculiar, special ancestry for Byleth to have such powers, crest and weapon.

    To conclude, he is related to Nemesis due to his crest, but it's not sure if he is related to Seiros. Green hair means relation to dragons, he may got that from Nemesis(if he is like Seiros), Seiros or someone else.

    I think he is related to both, actually! Just not as their direct offspring.

    So, my shot is that Byleth is somehow the third party between Seiros (Green hair) and Nemesis (White hair), hence the light green hair. Byleth's ancestor could be the child of the two, somehow.

    Or maybe, like in Genealogy if the Holy War, Byleth is the child of a Seiros' descendant with Nemesis' descendant! Except this time it wouldn't have been planned (or maybe it would?) and there's no incest involved, I hope.

  3. So, I have two theories as to why Byleth's hair color is different after the time skip. In my mind, Byleth is either the reincarnation of Seiros or the Goddess's child, from the many things we've seen so far. So, following this idea, I think there are two possibilities:

    1. The light green hair tone is actually Byleth's original hair color. Their father Jeralt knew of Byleth's true identity, and Byleth is the reason Jeralt resigned as a knight and became a mercenary. He made Byleth dye their hair a darker color so as not to bring any attention to them. When Byleth becomes a teacher at the academy, Jeralt goes back to being a knight so that he can stay close to Byleth and protect them should the secret be found out. Somewhere close to the end of the first part (or during the 5 years), the secret is revealed anyway, and Byleth stops dying their hair since it's lost its purpose. Also, Byleth could either know of their origin all along and not say anything, or not know anything and simply follow their father's weird orders.

    2. Byleth starts with naturally teal hair, but their particular power, which seems to be related to dark magic if the purple aura in former trailers means anything, starts taking a toll on them the more they keep using it, and the more they master it. Their body gets sicker and weaker as time passes, and the light green tone could be a reflection of it (among others), meaning their hair will eventually become fully white, and somewhere at the end of the story they'll die from the usage of their own power.

    What about you, guys? Any other crazy theories? 😄

    Ha, I mean, we didn't JUST have awakening, that was six years ago for anybody here speaking English. 

    Jesus Christ, I'm old :blink:.

    ---

    I'm not sure I'd like for Byleth's ability to be that of foresight, because, for the purposes of the plot, I would find it quite boring that we can see into the future of our actions or anybody else's... but that's just me. I think it's hard for any story to make something interesting with such an ability. I also don't think it can be applied game-wise, or at least it shouldn't since this is a Tactical RPG. Not that it has to be a game mechanic, though.

    In my case, I believe he did make time reverse and then changed the original outcome, but not out of any factual evidence, it's just what I think and hope :lol:. I also think it will be very relevant to the plot, not in the same way they did it in Awakening, but sort of like... a Radiant Historia approach... maybe.

  5. To be honest, I'm so confused right now. I've loved every FE game so far, to different degrees but I've liked them all greatly from the beginning. Generally speaking, I'm not the complaining type when it comes to FE, so I don't understand what's happening right now.

    I didn't like the cover art, I find it... very amateur-looking... and the sample song, I liked it by itself, but it sounded to me like a song from Tokyo Mirage Sessions, which is another game I liked a lot (I really aren't accostumed to disliking anything FE), but for this medieval fantasy setting it feels so weird to me, so off...

    I'm also not thrilled about the school setting. What's this? This is my first time in the complaining side of FE's fandom, how do other people do it :>_<:? I'm miserable in here.

    Drama aside :P: I'm still buying it, of course, I'm just not hyped. Strangely.

     Heck if they were smart they wouldn't actually spoil it at all and intentionally not tell us that there is ever conflict between the Three Lords so that it's a real surprise for players when they actually get the game.

    The whole point is that they are already hinting at a war between the three. At present, nobody would be surprised if a war started between them because that is actually what most people are expecting.

    I mean, for all we know, Sothis could be the final villain (or at least something tied to Sothis, hence her being put to sleep) with her being released through Byleth's actions being the folly that threatens Fodlan.

    I would like this :lol: but then, there are some people who want to marry her and stuff. Not that being a villain ever stopped Robin from marrying them in Awakening, though.

    It was Mercedes who is at least still part of the Blue Lion House that Dimitri heads in the initial combat and then later on we see Edelgard and Byleth fighting Hilda, Mustache Teacher and Purple haired guy from Golden Deer House. Ashe is also among them as an enemy unit even though he's from the Blue Lions.

    In all likelihood that was a mock battle exercise while at the Academy where we have to face the other two houses in a challenge. Someone did a deep dive analyzing the map and it's almost certainly at the base of Garreg Mach Monestary and the same map in those scenes. 

    Though I guess it could potentially be something like Edelgard and her House attempting to escape from the school and them trying to stop her. But that's a bit more unlikely.

    I know, but as I said before, nowhere in the two trailers does it depict any of the three protagonists directly fighting against one another. It's wierd, because if they were to become enemies then the trailers would have shown at least some small footage of it by now, specially since they're trying to make us believe the story is about the three houses fighting against each other.

  8. The thing is, we have two trailers of this entry already, and in none of them do we see any of the three protagonists fighting against even one of the other two. When it came to Fates, it was clear in both trailers that Nohr and Hoshido were fighting against each other, and in both of them we would see Xander and Ryoma directly confronting one another.

    Similarly, in Echoes it was very clear the two nations of Sofia and Rigel were at war, although that one's a remake so it didn't surprise anyone.

    In Three Houses, on the other hand, even though we have two trailers, they've shown the protagonists battling and even commanding their armies as if to suggest they're at war with each other but they have never actually shown them battling against one another (which would have been really cool, by the way). I mean, not even half a second of a cutscene of them sparring at least. On the contrary, they appear to be friendly with each other. So I believe IntSys just wants us to think that will be the main conflict but it's actually not.

    lol I've watched both trailers so many times and still never noticed this.

    That symbol definitely looks like some sort of support increase. I guess this means that training/teaching students can also increase their support level with Byleth? That doesn't sound good for people who aren't a fan of this whole student/teacher relationship stuff.

    My exact thoughts! Also, strangely enough, at the same time her heart meter or whatever goes up, this bar goes 25 points down:

    Although that could just be their stamina, like in Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons? Maybe there's a limit to how much you can train them per day or something.

    Also why is everyone so excited over Dimitrii X Claude, did I miss any hint towards them being gay? It wouldn't be bad if they did have an S-rank support just as long as it doesn't feel rushed or is shameless pandering to the Alt-left.

    No. This forum is called 'Any hopes?' and my hope is that Claude and Dimitri can marry each other. There has been no hint of anything regarding that, it is simply my wish.

    I wouldn't mind if we got a love triangle tbh : P But if somehow we got lucky enough and Claude/Dimitri  became a thing, I would die happy, although I'm like 99% sure it's not happening V_V

    I'm 99% sure it's not happening either either :c but well, one can only dream...

    I also wouldn't mind a love triangle, if done well. @Enduin's idea sounds dramatic enough hahaha :lol:

    29 and I can concur. I can't say I hate teenage protagonists but it's a breath of fresh air to have someone older and in a position of authority even if it's only by a few years.

    This is my exact opinion on the matter. Japanese videogames and anime almost always have kids as protagonists, and while there's nothing wrong with that, I find it weird that the fate of the whole world always rests on the hands of a group of kids, hahaha. I know it's just fiction, though.

    Anyway, I love it when I get to be an adult in a videogame :lol: because I can actually identify with it.

    That being said, this is a good idea for a tutorial, like in New Mystery.

    Not necessarily(or I don't think so at least), but considering we have one darker skinned student per house currently(Petra, big axe guy, and Claude), as well as a bunch of normal skinned students within the Golden Deer, I don't know that we can establish it's something from Leicester at this point.

    Petra is not brown skinned, though. She looks just slightly tanned to me, compared to Edelgard who's paper white.

    3 minutes ago, Dandy Druid said:

    I'm not sure about her being related to Claude. Her outfit consists of red and white, which I believe to be the colors of the church. She may be the "Camus" of this game.

    I think it's too early to assume her origins as well. Leicester isn't the only country to feature tanned characters. Faerghus also has a tanned character. Seeing as how the West Church is located in Faerghus, my guess is that she may be associated with him instead of Claude.

    I totally forgot about that guy. Anyway, it's just a theory.

    If they do keep beast units, I do hope 

    A) they have a legitimate reason to be a part of the narrative. I hated how little the FatesWakening era handled them like an afterthought. Don't shoehorn them in; do them right, or not at all.

    B)the beasts they turn into match up to whatever house you recruit them from. If I join Golden Deer, I would be pleased immensly if I was able to recruit a majestic stag to pulverize the opposition.

     

    I disagree on the "or not at all" bit. I honestly don't care all that much if they have the best story in the game or if they just exist; in a way, I don't really understand why so many people think these races have to have a reason for their existence to make it acceptable that they do.

    As for the second point you made... That would be so cool :lol: I love that idea.

    Voicing my opinions is something I can't do until I actually play the game. I'm going to buy the game anyway (and I'm sure that's the case for everyone here), so what's the point of worrying now? It does nothing but raise my level of stress over something completely insignificant.

    Yeah, I got that. It's a valid point.

    I like worrying and hoping, on my part. Or it's more like I can't help it.

    Maybe she's an graduate from the academy and got promoted several times? 

    Well, since it's a military academy we have here, I believe everyone who is a soldier in this game has graduated from it. The fact that the heirs of each of the three countries, along with their subjects, travel all the way to this academy instead of just training and graduating in their own countries implies as much.

    That being said, she does appear to have been promoted to an important position among them all. I just hope she doesn't die early on and we get to have her as a unit eventually :>_<:

    Feedback in the appropriate manner (as in, NOT THIS FORUM, WHY THE HELL DO YOU THINK ANY COMPANY WOULD GIVE TWO FIGS ABOUT US?).

    For absolute backlash, it's usually reflected in multiple places, and I wouldn't be surprised if it took a gaming publication's story or two before something happened.

    I never implied this forum served as feedback. When I mentioned "feedback", I meant it in the literal sense of the word, and it was in answer to @Jave saying there was no point in being worried about the game. In this context, what I wanted to explain was that there is a point to voicing your opinions, I never said that doing it here made any difference whatsoever.

    In regards to backlash, I didn't say I agreed with it in any way. I mean, just look at what game from the series I have listed as my favorite: Fates. It makes me unhappy whenever I read someone saying terrible things about a game I love, which is all the time, so I don't think it's good nor do I want to encourage it in any way. Also, and just in case I'm being added into the mix, all I did was say I don't want to be a teacher because I find that stressful, and that I was worried there would be no beast units because they're my favorite, but that it would be okay if there ended up not being any.

    And, no, I don't believe IntSys makes it a point to read my posts. I just like conversing about the games I love.

    No, not  a joke. I used Phoenix Mode to play through Birthright and I would absolutely be upset if it wasn't in Three Houses. Likewise, Sothis is wife material and I'll be upset if I can't S rank her.

    Was Phoenix Mode popular? I'm sure it was as criticized as Casual Mode, but did a lot of people use it? If so, I believe it will come back in 3H, since IntSys created the mode in the first place because they realized a lot of people still had a very hard time with Casual Mode, and that it was necessary to give those fans, who really liked the series, the opportunity to play and enjoy it too ❤️. It would be terrible for those fans if they decide to go without it... and also for IntSys in terms of marketing.

    There's an Eastern Church on the map of Fodlan, located east-northeast of Leicester.  I agree that the clothes she's wearing look pretty similar to the knights of Seiros, so I think it's possible that she's a relative of Claude's who now holds an important position in the Eastern Church who you might interact more with if you choose his route.

    That's what I was thinking, since she looks like she's important to the general plot, at least in the trailer.

    4 hours ago, eclipse said:

    Could be that she's from the same region as Claude.  Leicester sounds like a fairly large place, if there's a bunch of nobles looking over it.

    That too! I guess I just find it a little strange that they have that very exact light brown tone instead of one being darker or something, but it really doesn't have to mean much :P: it's truly just a far fetched theory.

  19. 2 hours ago, HappyHawlucha. said:

    She's giving me very Flavia vibes and she could easily by a relation of Claude's jumping in to save him, but I heard another interesting idea from around. Imagine she is the strongest warrior of the church, asked to wield the sword which Seiros is holding the mural(It may be the sword that Byleth eventually gets his hands on but hey it may be the same thing), to strike down the emessary of Sothis, Byleth who is treated as some sort of a demon by the Chruch of Seiros. Idk I just thought it was an interesting possibility.

    Interesting indeed :O that would be so dramatic if you take everything into consideration. And I like drama :P:

    I actually thought about the possibility of being able to recruit the students' parents (instead of getting child units), although I don't see how they would tie it to a support system between students/teachers/Byleth, so I guess it'd be more like standard unit recruitment. Maybe later into the game when the school encounters conflict, the parents from the three different regions send for their children to return and those could be Paralogues?

    But having the parents of the students playable is something I'd definitely like to see; great way to get a deeper look into a lot of things, namely the students themselves, the regions they come from etc.

    Like if student A acts like so and so, it could be because their parents are like so and so, or maybe they don't have parents; could be used to trigger mini character arcs or something. I'm excited to see how they handle it :D

    Ohh, I hadn't thought of the possibility of recruiting the parents! But you're right, it would be such an awesome idea! Also, it's been done before so it's definitely possible. And as for the last part of what you said, that is exactly what I meant :lol: ! It would be great if, after choosing a house, we got to meet and interact with the family of the leader of the chosen house, and get to know their beliefs and actions, and such. It would also make much more sense as to why we have to choose between the three houses instead of just picking the units we want out of the rooster, because it would be to flesh out not just the character but the people who rule the chosen nation and the nation in itself without changing the overall plot of the game, like Fates did.

  20. Okay, this is very far fetched! but, you know, we have to wait until the end of July for the game, so we have to do something to pass the time.

    Hence I've been wondering who or what this lady here might be:

    https://imgur.com/5LlF7Dy

    https://imgur.com/8hSFQy0

    And it occurred to me she could be Claude's sister or mother or something along the line, based mostly on the fact they are –so far– the only characters shown with a light brown skin tone (and I bet they'll be the only ones too, since this is a Japanese game). There's also something about her style that kind of reminds me of Claude.

    If it wasn't a Japanese game I wouldn't think much of it, and it's true that Flavia and Basilio from Awakening aren't related but they're both from Regna Ferox.

    Anyway, if she really was related to Claude, it would be kind of cool because it would imply the three characters (Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude) will have like their own stories to tell in-depth, which is currently something I don't expect them to do more than a little. But, I don't know, maybe choosing a house really centers the story on the leader of said house.

    What do you think?

     

  21. -Big sigh-

    I just... I don't wanna be a teacher...

    There is this part in the trailer where you can see the options when giving a class, something about "tutoring", "group task", "set goals", and such, and there was nothing more stressing to me than when I saw that. Only "auto-tutor" didn't stressed me out.

    That aside, I'm not really worried about the plot, because it has never been Fire Emblem's forte haha, so by default I don't expect anything more than "Okay". I don't mind getting a surprise, but don't really care all that much as long as the maps are well done, that's where most of the fun is for me. In that regard, I'm worried about there not being any beast units, but I guess I'll survive...
