Maybe it just doesn't show up on the Level Up/Promotion screen because it's completely static? Most stats can increase with level, while classes have different movement. Also, Dimitri has 15 AS with a Javelin before he levels up, so that's when he still has 18 speed.

I've been looking through more footage to find more Con stats. Sadly, they mostly went straight into battle by selecting the enemies in the Treehouse Presentation, so we don't get a good look at other characters' Attack Speeds. It's a shame, seeing as we could have seen if A, the Con stats are consistent, and B, if M!Byleth has the same Con as F!Byleth. Through the Kotaku footage, we can see that (assuming Combat Arts don't impact AS) Dimitri has a Con of 5 and that Javelin's have 8 weight. Also, while we don't get a specific Con or weight value, it seems that a Steel Bow has 9 more weight than Ashe has Con. Similarly, the Steel Gauntlets weigh Dedue down by 2. We can't be sure, but if the Steel Gauntlets are consistent with the other Steel weapons (they might not be), then they might have 8 weight, which would give Dedue 6 Con, which seems reasonable.

Since Marianne is recruitable, that means Hilda pretty much has to be the second-in-command of the Golden Deer non-recruitable, right? Edit: I don't think I saw that then, thanks.

That's probably referring to shields, not other items in the inventory.

I used the Treehouse and GameSpot gameplay that we've seen and the weapon weights in pictures in the article, and it seems that whatever lowers the weight effect of weight is less extreme than Con was. Linhardt used a Steel Lance (11 weight) and it reduced his AS by 10, while Byleth used an Iron Lance (6 weight), which reduced her speed by 2. It's possible that Abilities were involved, but I doubt it because the Abilities that lower weight are obviously marked, which none of Byleth's seem to match. This definitely makes the Fortress skill that lowers weight more useful, as even with it Byleth would be weighed down by a Steel Lance.

While it's obviously going to be from Edelgard's perspective, I'm guessing that there will still be lyrics about the other 3 lords. Especially since Edelgard calls herself a "red rose." I wouldn't be surprised if Dimitri, Claude, and Byleth were "snow," "moon," and "wind," respectively.

https://twitter.com/FireEmblemJP/status/1142009946311032833?s=19 I think that this should be posted here. I believe that this is information about the main theme. It seems to be from Edelgard's perspective, so she's probably the 'main' Lord.

I'm pretty sure the supports are going to be different post time skip, like how certain events change some supports in Path of Radiance, just to a greater extent.

Yeah, I'm just saying that there's precedence for her hair looking like this.

I saw somebody point out on Reddit that there's another picture of Lysithea on the website with a similar hair color on half her head.

Something weird happened with the formatting. Anyway, I really like all of them. Caspar especially looks much different than I was expecting. Where did you find this?

Do we know if that's all the non-transferable characters, or could there be a few others (like Ferdinand, Ingrid, or Hilda)?

I don't think there's anything keeping them from being on those dates, so probably. Personally, I hope we see all of the Advanced classes before the game is out, but preferably not any Master classes. Edit: Don't know what happened there.

That's hardly just an Awakening and Fates thing, though. For example, in the Tellius games, only Ike can use Ragnell despite there being nothing special letting him use it while only Elincia can use Amiti despite the fact that a certain other character should be able to as well. Besides, the way they described the Hero Relics in Treehouse implies that other characters with the crest should be able to use the weapon (IE Lysithea should be able to use the Thunder). I do agree that having Sothis being a giant unit would be great, though.

That's just because it's Casual mode. In the Treehouse presentation, they were playing on Classic mode and it 's clear that both Byleth and the Lord will cause a game over when defeated.

I don't know. The only Crest that we know exactly what it does I the Crest of Flames. Mercedes' can activate while healing and Felix's adds damage, but we don't know specifically what they do. For all we know, Felix's could work like Ignis.

Aren't the proc skills Crests now? Like how the Crest of Flames is like Sol.

There's still Swordmaster.

At least dismounting will be an option (hopefully it won't change the class skills other than Move Again), but I agree. Some characters (like Lysithea) seem to learn Dark Magic naturally, and I assume that they would still be able to use those spells. Edelgard's Axe doesn't have any of these crests, right? Doesn't that confirm that they'll be more Hero Relics?

If Bishop and Paladin can share Terrain Resistance, Hero and Swordmaster can share Swordfaire. My guess is that all advanced classes get Faire skills (other than Bishop, which gets an equivalent skill).

Does black magic include Dark Magic here? I remember one of the earlier articles mentioned them as being separate. Swordmaster will probably have Swordfaire too.

It seems that attacking from more than 2 range with a Bow lowers the accuracy like in Radiant Dawn, so it would help there.

Was that confirmed?

I completely forgot about that. Honestly, that's the thing I believe the least in the leak. I'm not sure why you brought it up, though.

I know the leak is already confirmed, but it's worth pointing out that Thani mentioned that Dimitri, Ingrid, Felix, and one other person (Sylvain) were childhood friends.
