So I've been searching around and I'm having trouble finding what is written on the letters Byleth receives on their birthday, namely those that come after the time-skip. From what I could gather there are 5 letters post time-skip: AM: Dimitri or Gilbert, depending on the month (I found these ones on Reddit); CF: Edelgard; SS: Flayn or Seteth, I saw conflicting reports so I'm not sure; VW: Claude. For now, I'm leaving the letters I could find here for future reference and I'll add the missing ones as I find them. If you know any a mistake let me know! EDIT: So I remembered to look for a save editor for the game and voilá, I added all the available letters. Strangely enough, there's a letter from Rhea that I don't think it's available in-game, so that's definitely interesting. This should be all the letters and they should be in the correct order, but you spot any mistake let me know! Pre Time-Skip: Claude: "Happy birthday, Teach! You're always working so hard, we got you this so you'd stop that. Kidding, of course!" Dimitri: "Happy birthday, Professor. It isn't much, but we got you a gift as a symbol of our gratitude. I hope you will accept it." Edelgard: "I hear that it's your birthday, Professor. I hope you have a joyous day. Here's a gift from the house...myself included." Post Time-Skip Claude (VW): "They say it's your birthday. Is that true? Either way, your Golden Deer got you a little gift. Enjoy!" Dimitri (AM): "As trite as it sounds, I wish to thank you. For everything. I hope you have a lovely birthday, Professor". Edelgard (CF): "It's your birthday, is it not? I wish you a truly happy day. Even with times as they are, won't you celebrate with us?" Flayn (SS): "On behalf of all, I wish you a most joyous day of birth! I ask that you spend it in absolute tranquility." Gilbert (AM): "We should all be grateful that you were born and found your way here. I mean that." Rhea (Unused?): "Today is the day you were born into this world. In the name of the goddess, I wish nothing but blessings upon you."

I can't wait to see the lord's families, especially Dimitri's. I sense that each family will be severely different and will explain a lot about their personalities and their appearance post time skip.

I remember seeing the name "Byleth" on the save files menu, so I think that probably means we can change the name of the character. Like everyone else said, I think we can't change the appearance in any way and the change of hair colour is likely related to the plot.

Yeah, he's definitely a boy, his voice it's just very high. Since I watched the video prior to the CV I was fooled for a moment there haha I guess the only student that could kinda fit the bill would be Linhart, but his grunt in the second trailer sounds kinda masculine...time will tell I guess.

I was half hoping he was a girl dressed like a boy (kind of like a reverse Forrest) so that we had an equal gender representation among the students, and I have to say his voice seemed to prove this He genuinely looks like a sweetheart, and he's even going to the academy to the academy to help support his family, which if the bio is any indication, it's not exactly his vocation. Overall, a very good surprise and a nice addition to the Golden Deer crew.

Seriously what happened? Or more importantly how long was this? If she's not the only case, then maybe that explains why they're not showing any English clips. So sad honestly, I really love her work and I hope they bring her back for another role in the future.

I think you're right on the money. I wonder why they decided to leave the most obscure characters (Ingrid and Marianne) to last, it totally looks like it's on purpose.

She's so darn cute! Wow the Blue Lions are yet to have a bad reveal for me, all the characters look amazing. A funny thing I noticed is that she sort of mimics Mercedes mannerisms like holding her hand(s) over her chest and having the same cute smile with her eyes closed 😊 I don't think so, or at least I don't see it anywhere.

Wow the place is huge! It looks like IntSys is trying their hand on an open-world setting since they're really popular in modern games. This must have taken a good chunk of development time, judging by the size of the place and the content therein. It really looks like this hub is too important to ever leave, of if Byleth does leave it won't be for long. Or maybe that's what they want us to believe, and before we know it the place gets completely obliterated right before our eyes in a heart-wrenching scene.

So there's cats and dogs roaming the Monastery? I hope we can pet them because that would be really cute ☺️

Either that or the Church made him/her disappear for some reason and then covered it up. I wonder if the same won't happen to Byleth...

Huh, actually those are a different set of cards, good find! Here's the translation for the other set, the one with the official artwork in it. I got it from FEcipherENG as well: Byleth: “Learn with your very flesh!” Edelgard: “I had hoped so. May you instruct us Black Eagles well.” Dimitri: “The Blue Lions are quite the boisterous house. I would wager you’re in for more than your fair share of grief, but we are glad to have you nonetheless.” Claude: “Taken a liking to me, have you? Is that why you chose my house? Heh… Well, you might want to take a different tone of voice there.”

So apparently a teacher made a run for it during one of the outings, if that's not suspicious I don't know what is. I guess that's another reason why they picked up Byleth as a substitute. I think Yeritza/Jeritza is probably Alois, since all the other instructors were there before Jeralt mercs and Byleth came.

Ah thanks for the kind words! I'll be waiting for the next update. I honestly never met another Portuguese FE fan either (aside from my sister that is), but I'm pretty sure they're out there somewhere

I wonder when they're planning to finish the English website and give us the bios and videos in English. Maybe they're waiting for E3, but it's kind of annoying that most of the material we got so far is only in Japanese when the localization is probably well advanced and ready to be shown this time around.

Just found this hack and it looks stunning! I'm finishing a SS playthrough and once I'm done I'm giving this patch a try. Thanks so much for making it, I love this game to pieces and playing it again with these enhancements it's going to be a blast for sure

Maybe they'll put something tomorrow. Teachers and Jeralt were shown on a Saturday, but Rhea was shown on a Sunday, so maybe one day is for people connected to the academy/knights and other is for the church? If so, then we'll probably get Rhea's assistant tomorrow.

They're saving the best for last, I finally figured it out haha

Ah shoot I was hoping we would get a girl for a change. He looks funny at least

It's not really a surprise at this point, I think pretty much everyone had guessed as much That said, I wonder if this reveal was done on purpose (perhaps because some new info is coming) or if it was a slip-up.

I can totally see that happening, especially when people she cares about are threatened in some way. I'm not sure if Anette is a noble or a commoner, since Lorenz was in the same school as well and he was a noble, so we'll have to wait and see. This actually made me wonder: which starting class will Mercedes have? Her background leaves both options open.

I really like her look, very gentle and somewhat mature. I can't wait to find out what drove her out of the Empire, and I have to agree with you all, I'm loving these backstories we're getting, it makes the characters feel more real.

I managed to grab the videos that play on the introduction page of the Japanese website, it's basically the same thing they showed on the second trailer, but we can see some things a little better. They are unlisted and stored on a playlist, and even though there's two of them they look identical to me: 【ファイアーエムブレム 風花雪月】イントロダクション - YouTube

Luckily Google Translate kept the history search I did, here ya go: マヌエラ＝カザグランダ

He's a lot more aggressive than I thought he would be, he does sound a bit like Innes: very proud and intense. The description of his family is rather suspicious too, and it makes me wonder if they're not plotting something against the imperial family. Maybe we're getting the rivals this week? That would be neat :)
