    How do you beat the proper conduct tournament?

    I think you can do it whenever actually, but I think I usually do it right after Enlightened One. The stats that you mentioned seem reasonable for that point in the game. I guess I would have Death Blow as the only extra thing. Maybe with Sword Prowess you have to get lucky with dodges.

    Sorry it's been a while, but I remember doing it pre-time skip after getting EO. What seems to be the issue, not enough damage?

    First there's the armor guy who takes way too long to kill. Then there's the mage guy who does 20 damage in a single attack. Then there's the merc guy who does 17 damage and always gets two attacks in due to vantage. Then there's Sylvain wh odoes 18 damage to my 12. I literally lose against him with full hp, and have to hope he misses with his 75% hit, and that's without factoring in him also having fucking Pavise. Haven't even reached the final fight yet. i'm at the end of chapter 11 which is generally when most pre-timeskip paralogues and such have their deadline.

    It says recommended level 20 but I'm level 22 Enlightened One with B+ in swords and two stat meals and I can't even beat the semi-finals. my Byleth has 47 hp, 22 str, 21 dex, 21 spd, 17 lck, 14 def, and 14 res. Equipment and battallions don't seem to affect tounraments. Is there any way to win this thing without having to burn a bunch of stat boosters on whats already one of my strongest units?

    The game really only should've had two routes (among other changes also spoilerz)

    It's not clear that they originally planned Edelgard and Hubert to be playable post-skip in any capacity. At the very least, the shortness of the route, and the lack of cutscenes or CGs, suggest that Crimson Flower was not prioritized.

    What I've heard is, if Seteth is killed first, he retreats, as does Flayn. I haven't been qble to verify this in practice, though 

    Nah, I defeated Flayn first with Byleth, and she and Seteth both survived. Seteth and Flayn literally have unique combat dialogue with Byleth that they don't get with anybody else about how they still owe Byleth a debt and will retreat if he/she spares them.

    Based on how the game turned out, I'm given the impression it was rather late in the development that they decided to expand out the routes, which leads me to think it was a mandate by someone rather than people getting over ambitious. An over ambitious addition of routes would probably be done when several are already mostly finished, yet none of the individual routes of Three Houses actually feels finished (at least to me).

    Literally everything we've heard of the game suggests that all four routes were planned from very early on. Apparently the idea that the ntire game was founded on was Sigurd, Eldigan, and Quan's backstory in FE4, which immediately  suggests three different main characters. We also know that SS was the first route written, and the very existence of Claude and Dimitri, or even the Blue Lions and Golden Deer in general, make zero sense if SS was intended to be the only route when it was written, since neither Claude or Dimtiri actually do anything on SS, and and you never fight the other two houses the way you do on the other routes. The existence of Claude, Dimitri, BL and GD in SS only makes sense if there was always intended to be other routes where they are actually relevant. From what we've been told it also seems that the existence of two BE routes was planned pretty much since it was first decided that Edelgard would be the main antagonist. It rally makes no sense to not assume that all four were inteded and planned for since very early on in development.

    The method to spare them is also silly, you have to defeat them with Byleth or Edelgard

    You can't spare Seteth or Flayn with Edelgard, you have to defeat them with Byleth. Or rather, you have to defeat the first one with Byleth. Once either Seteth of Flayn has been spared, the other one  will also retreat regardless of who you beat them with.

    Well here's my theory. At some point the protagonists will need to open a gate to another world (maybe to rescue Alfonse from another dream), but they can't use Alfonse to do it since their Alfonse is actually Kieran. It will then turn out that Peony has this ability, and in the epilogue she will use it to allow the fairies to visit their original worlds.

    VW as dlc would've make 3H better

    If you want to make any route into  DLC then CF is the obvious choice. CF is already the only route that isn't unlocked by default at the start of the game, so it's the only route that could really work. The game already forces you to side against Edelgard if you don't fill the special requirements so making it into dlc wouldn't actually change things.  CF is also the only route that I feel would be compelling enough as a separate dlc due to how drasticaly different it is from the other routes. Imagine people getting used to the story beats and characterizations of the existing three routes and then a trailer drops that showcases Byleth siding with the empire, the Church of Seiros as enemies, Dedue transforming into a Demonic Beast, a Dimitri that didn't go berserk, a Rhea who has gone completely bonkers and Bernadetta outside of her room? The hype would go absolutely through the roof.

    This would not just give more time to the obviously underdeveloped parts of CF, but also free up development time to improve the other routes. I feel SS would have been acceptable as the only BE route before DLC if AM and VW had been more differenitated from it and it had given more focus on the conflict between Byleth and Edelgard.

    What are some TH predictions that aged poorly, that you could think of?

    I remember when the first trailer came up and people complained that Edelgard was gonna be a clone of Lucina and the white church lady would be the next Emmeryn/Mikoto. Even back then I assumed that those people were full of shit. Lucina didn't spend the first trailer of Awakening ranting about how the Awakening ritual was actually evil, and Emmeryn and Mikoto would never be so nonchalant about people dying all around them.

    One of my predictions after the February Direct that I'm sad didn't come to pass was that Kostas would be recruitable (what other reason would there be for a beginner bandit boss to appear in two different chapters, and there was a Brigand class in the game so obviously there would have to be a recruitable Brigand).

    We're sharing our theories on what the big plot twist will be? Well I've had a certain theory of who the final boss of the dlc side story would be ever since I learned that  would take place somewhere beneath Garreg Mach and that it was represented with a picture of a giant wolf. But it got strengthened a lot when we got that screenshot of Alphard saying that the named the Ashen Wolves after "the beast that protects the Blue Sea Star" (the Blue Sea Star being the star that the Goddess is said to have come from).

    Spoiler

    Did you know that Sothis has a dog/canine theme going on? Her special attack in Heroes is called Sirius, and there's a track in the OST called "Gazing at Sirius" that's used for Rhea reminiscing about her mother. The Blue Sea Star is basically Fodlan's name for the Sirius star. Sirius is also known as "the Dog Star" and is part of the Canis Major or "Great Dog" constellation. The name "Ashen Wolf" also ties into Byleth's nickname "Ashen Demon". I believe that the Ashen Wolf that Alphard speaks of is actually the true form of Sothis, similar to how the Immaculate One is actually Seiros, but the church hid this by claiming them as separate beings. I think the Ashen Wolf's corpse is still lying somewhere underneath Garreg Mach after being killed by Nemesis, and that someone (probably Alphard) will try to resurrect her.  But since Sothis' mind is inside Byleth the result would likely just be a mindless zombie that you'd have to put down. This could also be tied into how TWSitD managed to resurrct Nemesis on VW (they do share the same Crest after all).
