I’ve only seen the C support so far, but I thought Céline and Alcryst had an interesting setup.

I mean, they could still be associated with Jeralt’s Mercenaries without immediately being available for battle? I would love to see Paralogue recruitments though.

I wonder if they're associated with Jeralt’s mercenaries and Byleth? Then they join whichever house Byleth becomes the professor for.

One thing I did in my first playthrough to ensure I got the paired endings I wanted: I saved viewing characters’ A support conversations with the characters I didn’t want them paired with until the last couple chapters. I don’t think characters can gain Support points if they have a pending conversation? At least it doesn’t physically appear on the battlefield:

I’ve had something similar to this issue happen with me. My unit had a follow-up attack, but they were just staring at the enemy... I pressed [Start] and that seemed to work.

Well, you could say that was an amnesiac too.

Who do we think the new characters would be? I’m leaning towards the obvious: Anna. But they could pull another Shadows of Valentia and have the TCG characters brought in.

That’s great! Definitely won’t be as much of a hassle as I was thinking it would be!

I meant more along the lines of skill levels and abilities. For example, would I be able to boost male Byleth’s Lance skill if I’ve only used female Byleth before?

Will choosing a different Byleth affect what you can unlock (besides, obviously, supports)? I’m currently playing female Byleth in the Black Eagles route, but I plan to use male Byleth in the Blue Lions route. Are you also locked into that previous file’s difficulty settings like Fates’ “Branch of Fate”?

If I’m reading this ending correctly, then... I could be wrong though.

SPECULATION: Since Morgan appears in Thabes, do you think it's possible that Morgan was actually trying to go back further in time than any of the other children to stop Grima from even being created in the first? Though, this would probably conflict with Naga/Tiki's actions.

What skills are on the Deliverance DLC Lances/Shield? I couldn't find that info on the main site.

The differences from those two being that Clair has a little bit more characterization besides being just "bitchy" or "lovesick" and that Tatiana's feelings for Zeke are reciprocated.

I wish people would stop trash talking Tharja in all of these Faye threads. Yes, she's a bit morally gray and has an obsession with Robin, but there is much more to her character than just that.

Was the list of generic units that are summoned by non-FE amiibo included in the datamine?

It was "Pack 5" in the US DLC trailer. They just said more details about it would be coming out later.

Has anyone generated a comparison picture between Valentia and Valm?

Just want to say that I don't claim to have a mastery of Japanese, or the nuances of the language within its own context. Please compare my thoughts to such. Like many have already said in the thread, I think the notion of Echoes in the title has to deal with the idea that this game a remake of Gaiden, a side story that chronologically follows the events of the first game/Shadow Dragon. Echoes likely refers to the "echoes" of war that reach Valentia after Archanea's own war. The English subtitle, Shadows of Valentia, furthers the idea of this being a side story by referring to Valentia having its own shadows (like Archanea). Edit: The biggest implication of this interpretation is that "Echoes" isn't a reoccurring title for (potential) upcoming remakes.

Instead of actually playing as them, it could be something similar to Before Awakening with a few Ally characters consisting of Marth and a others.
