    Wave 3 DLC out now.

    in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

    Posted · Edited by Arcphoenix

    I got the DLC the same day I got the game. I don’t really remember how much I paid for it, nor am I sure what I’ve gotten that I paid for and what was free.

    My opinion on the DLC for most things that people are complaining about can be summed up as “nice idea, but shallow implementation.” Obvious standouts being the lack of dialogue for the Sauna, otherwise present for all other monastery activities, and Anna’s lack of supports, again her being the only playable character like this. I really hope some of the DLC additions become more fleshed out in later updates just like the base game gets as updates come in. The monastery/battle appearance options and expansion in the number of available save slots for example were fantastic changes to the base game

     

    Edit: Also, what’s with the wording choice of “New Allies” for Crimson Flower. Was someone other than just Jeritza added as playable there?

    If Fire Emblem 3 Houses ever got an anime, and could only cover 1 route, which route would it cover?

    Between the two routes I have played - Azure Moon and Verdant Wind, I’d have to say without a doubt Azure Moon. The characters if the Blue Lion house are a lot more tied to certain plot developments than most of the Golden Deer House. Also, I felt it was better as a story. I can’t exactly explain why I feel that way. I felt as I was playing the route that the focus was to write a compelling story, much moreso than Verdant wind. It’s not that Verdant wind lacked a compelling story, but when going from VM to AM, there’s a noticeable difference of something as you progress through the story. Some things that I definitely noticed were Dmitri’s character development,

    his relationship with Edelgard,

    and the war being much more personal to him 

    Spoiler

    Given he initially is insistent on murdering Edelgard.

    Claude is moreso fighting just because he has to, unlike Edelgard and Dmitri.

    Also there’s the fact that I didn’t notice the absence of TWSITD until an off-hand mention late route.

    Hmm if Tharja had to pick whose team to be on, would she choose Corrin or Robin, I wonder? (Nothing serious; I was thinking like, a capture the flag team or something. 'Course, knowing her, it'd be an unbearable choice either way.)

    I mean the whole reincarnation theory is just a headcanon that only has a little basis, no? I believe she'd choose Robin

    I really want a Lysithea that does her 3H self justice. Stupid powerful and either using her effective dark spikes T or her faster miasma/hex spells.

    And Cyril. Definitely Cyril. I’d just hope writers consciously try to limit bring up Rhea. There’s more to him than her, but it isn’t showcased enough in the game. I blame the scriptwriters rather than Cyril as a character. Maybe he’d be an archer or axe Wyvern rider.

    Others: Rhea, Bernadetta, Ignatz, Anette, Dedue, Ashe, Shamir, Lorenz, Seiros, and Nemesis

    Spoiler

    If Rhea and Seiros are separated for spoilers, I really want at least one of the two to wield a sword. Not gonna lie, tome and dragonstone would probably fit better, but I can’t help but think of that bad*** scene where she completely obliterates Nemesis in combat

    Homophobia is beyond simply acknowledging homosexuality as a sin right?

    This is something that’s bothered me for some time. Because it’s definitely there in scripture, and I believe it, but I wouldn’t impose it on anyone or treat homosexuals any different from anyone else. Nor would I bring it up anywhere outside this comment because I really want clarification on this.

    Usually homophobes are the people extremely and needlessly vocal about it and harassing homosexuals, right? I’ve really wanted clarification on this for some time.

    Felix - Seemed like a standard edgy jerk, but he does actually care about others, and he has some good supports. I love the one he has with Flayn, especially.

    Raphael - He’s not just about building muscle and eating. He’s incredibly wholesome, and he’s been through a lot but is doing amazingly well. His supports also are pretty hilarious sometimes. Case in point- The Dovakhin training he gives Flayn

    Lorenz - My one problem with him, his skirt chasing, gets dropped post timeskip, and it turns out he has some really good ideals for nobility, rather than just being some stuck-up nobleman like I thought he was.

    Ashe - I didn’t have much of an opinion on him, although a friend greatly expressed an aversion to possibly having to kill him in later runs. Lo and behold, he turns out to be one of the most wholesome characters in the game. It definitely helps that he has a lockpick personal skill. Having a freely moving thief on Wyvern-back makes things so amazing. He’s a guaranteed recruit here-forward along with Lysithea.

    Big fat F for Lif. Already lost pretty much everything and we just killed Thrasir, his last remnants of actual companionship. No wonder he just decided to drop the castle above everyone's head and just be done with it.

    She’s dead? Well technically she already was. But you know, terminated? I really need to look back at the dialogue

    Windsweep is your friend for Byleth boss duels. Stride Warped Byleth into Edelgard's throne and ORKO her with a windsweep Sword of the Creator, it really does't need that bonus crit. Beat Nemesis with Hilda's relic art and Byleth followup. Surprisingly easy for the intimidating statline (he'd slaughter claude in counter) Nice that the cutscene more or less followed my reality.

    Hold up, this game has windsweep. How do you get it?

    What do you think would happen if two crest-bearers (of different crests) had a child?

    I can't recall if it was with the avatar or someone else, but in one of her supports, Lysithea mentions that she and many other kids were tested on when House Ordelia was under Imperial rule. Most had died from the experiments and they continued till Lysithea's hair turned white. As she said "One day I woke up and all the pigment in my hair was gone. They quickly tested me and they saw I had two crests."

    This whole two crest thing, as I see, is a case of 'too much' power for one to handle. It's an overload on one's lifeforce like having a Nitro booster on a car, it gives lots of power to the engine but wears out the inner workings at a far faster rate.

    If a child was ever born with two crest, it may not have lived long enough to have been proven that it would have two crest and as such is thought to be impossible. Lysithea could have been the 'proto-type' for Eldegard as their had succeeded in their experiments on her and the other kids of House Ordelia, with Lysithea being the only survivor.

     

    You might want to put this in spoilers for people who haven't come across this information

    Gambits and Lysithea is the only way I know of for killing Donkey Kong. I'd recruit her and get her reason to C rank. Shouldn't be too hard as she seems to get skill levels faster - at least in my use of her. I hear Hubert also gets Dark Spikes, but I haven't done a BE playthrough yet to know if he has it early enough or is at par with Lysithea's strength

    Quite possibly absolutely nothing. If you have a crest, your child isn't guaranteed to have one. I even remember a mention of a noble that kept on having children until he got one with a crest. With this in mind, I'd say a child with two crests is an unlikely occurance. 

    Spoiler

    Linhardt even mentions in a conversation with Lysithea that he couldn't find any other records of it happening besides to her. Lysithea herself only has it because of experiments. Possibly the same explanation goes for another character revealed later as having two crests.
