  1. Yes? I mean I said that much. Point is

    If that is what you consider plot convenience then every fire emblem game has plot convenience in some way or another. 

    But she doesn't want to do reforms, that goes against her character. If she were fine with just reforms then she wouldn't be Edelgard, she'd be an entirely different character.

    Of course Eldegard being who she is doesn't want just reforms. I said that much. Point is Eldegard being Eldegard means she did silly choices driven by emotions instead of reason and in three of four routes it lead to predictible result with her own route needing twist itself into cockscreew to make it work somehow.

    I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

    Have you seen the BE ending? She unified Fodlan, defeated TWSID and destroys the entrenched system of nobility. 

    She also steps down as emperor and appoints a successor so it does seem like she thought these things through. Or are you saying it's bad that some of her choices were based on her emotions? 

    No I am saying that if not for plot convenience it would never work. Well, if it wasn't plot convenience then Byleth and Hubert who actually know what they are doing and somehow managed keep Empire from falling apart (how? I don't have clue). As I said before, destroying crests was just her throwing tantrum. Empire army is weakened by war too, If Dagda decided attack again, empire would be conquered regardless of what kind of sucessor she found. Of course there should be also lot of people holding grudge and hidden Seiros worshippers (you can never destroy faith  by force) ready to revolt too on first opportunity. And of course TWSITD are still on loose for great time after her unification. This war was unecessary. If Edie were able consolidate her power in Empire enough to have bloody war with church, she had also enough power enact reforms without it. 

    But, well she never aknowledged  Aliance and Kingdom  being anything more then parts of Empire that evil mustache twirling dragons stole from her predecessors, so I guess this war was necessary to set everything "right".

    Oh boy...

    There's no indication that Edelgard was responsible, she doesn't control TWSIND, it's shown multiple times, it's pretty clear from the start that the alliances is pretty loose.

    I agree, at first I was like 'excuse me ?' but in insight, it feels more like she was into 'yeah, you should hate and kill those bastard', with a hidden undertone of 'me too'.

    It's pretty clear from the start that she really like Byleth to the point where it's shown and said that she derails her plans just for them.

    Again how the hell, knowingly smuggling killer into monastery doesn't make her responsible for action of said killer? If she can't control her she shouldn't have her come in first place. That's like saying drunken driver is not responsible for running over people or letting hungry lion out of cage.

     

     

  4. Well, she had opportunity return to Brigid as free person, but refused because she has friends in school (with Edie and Hubert who she seems genuinely grateful, included) 

    Well I would still give it fifty-fifty at most as Eldegard is not exactly best in selling her ideals to others. 

  5. As far as I could see Fodlan is that terrible place to live under church. Knights of Seiros does protect civilians, nobles can marry commoners (even if it is looked down on) and officers school is open to almost anyone. 

    Most terrible seems what nobles doing each other and even discrimination based on Crest isn't right down endorsed by church. 

    I certainly don't think status quo warrant full scale war. 

  6. You are not completely wrong, but BB added chapter, with true antagonist, where 3H just make your playthrough shorter. BB does not tell you to fulfill conditions to get less chapters and single line in epilogue about Roy fighting Idun twenty years later... 

    Edelgard route give some context for her actions, but bring very little beyond that. So I think it's there really just for that very reason. You know Like Hectors bonus chapters give more context to Nergal.

    Hey friends, just wondering if there are any late-game mechanics for units to catch up? My personal example is that I'm trying really hard to make Petra my dedicated Theif/Assassin, but at level 17 she has a whopping 14str and 15dex. She also only has 8 def so she gets hit by everything for massive damage because she can't dodge and doubles enemies for 7dmg per attack (for reference, my Bernadetta with similar dex growth rate has 27 dex at level 20).

     

    Is it too late for poor Petra or is there something lategame that lets me farm levels or access to stat-boost items? Playing on Hard/Classic and I'm not struggling, I just want to diversify my army instead of throwing Byleth/Edel/Leonie into the fray and killing everything.

    You can make her dancer 

  8. They didn't? Awakening, Fates, Echoes all put their main girls on front from get to go. Telius and game before had practically no coverage whatsover. Only example where advertised guy won crowd was when Dorcas died on poisoned mutton. 

    I personally don't have "hateboner" as you said for Edie, but it's obvious her route is hardly more then bonus stage. Never trust trailer that's most basic rule.
