    One thing I never liked it how Dimitri never bothers to bring this up with Edelgard. Like, she had to stand there in both CF and AM hearing Dimitri shout accusations of her killing her own mother, but when he learns this was not the case and she might even be alive, he never brings it up with the woman he accused of matricide. 

    The entire pre-timeskip accusation was foolish, narrow-minded and irrational. Both of them are aware of that, so they didn't feel the need to bring that up afterward.

    You are unable to read all of the parts of a specific book/doctrine in the library because...why?

    I can’t remember which one it is, I believe it is the founding of the Church? But it goes 1, 2, then 5 I think.  What information is the game hiding from us?

    You're talking about the Book of Seiros. Maybe the censored part of the book directly contradict the existence of the 10 elites (possibly something like how the hero relics are evil) : the book was likely made when Seiros made her first appearance before starting the war against Nemesis, and there's evidence her initial plan was to eradicate all 10 elites and their bloodlines.

    The history book mention the war, which is described as "senseless", was ended several years after Nemesis's death by the grandson of the the first emperor. Remember that the official history (AKA lie) state that the elites was on Seiros side since the beginning, so it doesn't make sense that the war would keep going long after the King of Liberation's death, especially if Seiros intended to spare the elites. This show she was instead forced to do it after she lost support from the emperor and his army.

    Do we know if she "survives" in Crimson Flower? (without S support) Her heart was broken and disappeared.

    Even her S support in CF was considered by many as bad fan service, since it's so disconnected to the rest of the game.

    I remember someone saying that her dialogue actually change in CF to mention the lacking crest stone.

    I know her S-support is pretty much played as a joke, but I have a hard time believing they would create such a very obvious plot-hole, when they've clearly made sure that that the story remains as consistent as possible until then.

    Hey, can we take a moment to actually consider something? 

    How exactly does Edelgard feel about her mother?

    In the Goddess Tower, she says that she wants to believe that her parents did love each other, despite how she knows that her father had many lovers because of the Crest System needing him to have an heir with a Crest.

    But Edelgard knows for a fact that her mother married Lambert and Dimitri is her step brother. 

    Edelgard wants to believe that her mother loved her and her father, but does this not imply that she might also hold the fear that her mother never really loved her and her father and instead loved Dimitri more?

    Don't forget that the rumour of the Goddess tower blessing lovers was born from Ionus & his true love meeting there. So Edelgard does have reasons to believe her mother cared more about her father than Lambert.

    Anyway, what if she was still alive, but through unfortunate circumstances became an Abyssian?

    I have no basis to support my theory, but it does bother me how there is not a single clue that could remotely suggest that she is either alive or dead.

  5. Interestingly,  those warp tiles only appear in that chapter, which just happened to be located past a secret passage of the monastery. Based on new dialogues from the latest update, Garreg March has a huge complex underground called the Abyss. So what we see here may be the tip of the iceberg.

    It's possible that a long time ago, crests could be used for other purposes that have now been lost to history.

    Speaking of the ending, I think it's interesting that Crimson Flower final chapter was known as "To the end of a dream", while Silver Snow is "Following a Dream"

    The dream here is obviously refereeing to Sothis, since she's known as Girl in the Dream

    Doesn't Sothis technically survive, regardless of route?

    I think it would make more sense if the "dream" represents her legacy instead.

    I agree that it's not the most logical thing that could ever happen, but I definitely believe that Seteth still has his crest stone because it is literally their heart, and Byleth's mother died when she lost her's.

    That is a good point. Rhea does mention the mother had to make a choice between her life or her child's, so it doesn't sound like she died from giving birth.

    So, at the very least, it's likely that homonculi are fully dependant on crest stone in order to survive. Interestingly, TWSITD may be those as well, as Kronya died upon her stone inside her being broken by Solon.

    However, there's still the Crimson Flower ending, where Byleth loose his/her crest stone but still live. People may claim that Byleth simply became human or that the writers screwed up because they rushed that path, but I don't believe either of those. The reason is that Sothis still exist within Byleth even after that event, as shown in her S-Support. I've heard she even have unique dialogue exclusive to that path, but I couldn't find a source for this.

    So I believe that since the fusion, Byleth was no longer a homonculi but became partially Nabatean, which don't depends on crest stones in order to live.

    (yes, I'm stubborn. But I love my theory too much to give it up just yet!)

    Fair, but the way he says that vengeful!Dimitri was the true Dimitri without specifying his empathetic nature is a bit alarming, don't you think?

    Again, he never said that : the dialogue is about peoples claiming that Dimitri finally turned nice, but Dedue counter by saying he has always been nice from the start.

    Claude directly compares the Immaculate One to Miklan's Black Beast transformation, so it's possible that Miklan was possessed by the "soul" of the Nabatean in the Crest Stone.

    A complete Hero Relic (with both the bone and the stone) is proof that any Nabateans whose weapon were formerly part of their body had their crest stone in them when they were killed. So I agree it makes sense that their souls would get stuck in those stones, like some sort of self-preservation mechanism.

    However, the same logic don't necessarily apply for the artificial hero relics, which are made of agarthium, not bones. So with my theory, there may not be any souls in those one, only the draconic power.

    11 hours ago, Lightchao42 said:

    As for why Seteth lost his ability to transform, I think the simplest explanation is that he lost the ability after going for so long without doing so.

    That would be like forgetting how to ride a bicycle. Dragon power may weaken, but an outright loss of it through lack of use seems farfetched.

    According to Dedue, crazy Dimitri was the way Dimitri actually always was. It's just that in Crimson Flower he never reaches the point of discarding the mask he wore during White Clouds. Instead he's more or less stuck in the state he was in during ch. 10-12, openly murderous towards Edelgard but trying to maintain some semblance of sanity for his friends sake. Like the other poster said, since Cornelia never did her coup, he never hit the low of no longer caring.

    Thanks. At least now I get it, even if it doesn't make me like any more.

    ??? Dedue never said that! He was talking about how Dimitri was always a very empathetic and caring person from the start, not the opposite.

    Azure moon reveal that the true reason behind his blood-craving behaviour was because he believed it was his duty, and was afraid of being selfish (another problem with Faerghus concept of knighthood). The fact that he didn't want to that but did it anyway is exactly what broke his mind. And the fact he keeps referring to himself as a monster, even before the gronder incident shows he is aware that what he's doing is wrong and contrary to his own ideals.

    Another evidence of that is in Heroes : he specifically state "killing is bad, no matter the reason".

    But we know that crest stone isn't an item, it's literally their hearts.

    "Crest stone" is actually their hearts being cut out from their dead bodies by Nemesis to make into weapons.

    I doubt Steth could remove his own heart, or that Flayn didn't have heart

    But so far, we've only assumed that they need it to live because they seemed to be like human heart, but in reality, the stones appear on their forehead when transformed (same for the demonic beasts), so they may not be heart in the litteral way but rather the "heart" of their draconic power.

    The Nabatean don't seem to be normal dragon creatures, considering the wild variety of their appearance and the implication that Sothis didn't create them the "natural" way. So just because they (presumably) are born with crest stones doesn't automatically means they can't remove it.

    And there some more elements that bring more suspicions about this : the fact that some crests retained their Nabatean names despite their stones  being potentially under Agarthan's possession, suggesting they actually survived but disapeared; and the fact that Sothis can still live despite her crest stone being gone in the Crimson Flower path.

    Also, in Silver Snow, it's explicitely stated that Rhea gave fragment of her crest stones (not just blood) to her most devout, and is the reason behind their transformation into white beast : that definitely implies that she can outright remove it from her body. EDIT: actually, I'm not sure if it's her stone or just a random one. . But the fact that they react to Rhea going berserk does suggest that it's hers. In any case, need to re-check.

    Lastly is about Seteth's inability to transform : if it's not because of the lack of crest stone, then what else could be the reason behind it?

  12. Perhaps a Nabatean's transformation into dragons is tied directly to the crest stone : when Miklan turned into a demonic beast (which is partially  draconic), the dark energy where clearly coming from the stone. And in CF, some Faerghus soldiers willingly turned by holding them.

    With that in mind, it's possible Seteth can't transform anymore because he gave up his crest stone. That would also suggest that they don't actually need them to live, despite being described as hearts.

    If this theory is true, then we could take much further : it's possible that some of of Nabaetan who were written off as dead are actually alive (except those with crest stones explicitly named after a human, like Chevalier), but simply lost their crest stone to the Argathan.

    It's also likely that Flayn doesn't have her stone in her, and therefore cannot transform either. Plus, it would of been bad if she transformed by accident, so it was likely encouraged by Seteth. Otherwise, her chances of survival would have been much lower, as TWSITD seems to highly covet them.

    The only thing that oppose that theory is Sothis, who clearly reside in Byleth's heart, or rather the crest stone. However, it's possible it only happened because she died while still having the stone : some kind of soul transfer, if you will. It may help justify how she somehow manage to survive in her S-supports, even in the CF path (assuming this isn't just a non-canon silly joke).

    Sorry for the dump, but it has been on my mind for a while, and I needed to put them somewhere.

    Two questions:

    1. SF doesn't have a calculations page for 3H, how do Combat Arts that use another stat to increase damage get that boost calculated? In other words, what % of the Def stat is used for Glowing Ember? Or % of Res for Lightning Axe?
    2. Second, I've completed Crimson Flower and this is just a random question, the final boss's mid-battle text-boxed noises- did they mean anything in gameplay? I couldn't figure it out if they did.

    1. Combat arts always 30% of the stat whenever they use it.

    2. It give a permanent and stackable stat boost to the golems each time it roars.

    I'm trying to go down the Crimson Flower route. I've gotten a C+ support with Edelgard, in fact it even says I need to wait to get another support with her, and I viewed the scene where she becomes Emperor, yet the option to join her and go down the Crimson Flower route just hasn't appeared during the Holy Tomb cutscene. I'm kind of pissed to be honest. Are there any other reuiqrements? Will I have to do the entire part 1, again just to get this rather short route? Can I at least start New Game+ from here, or will I have to finish the church route to retain all the weapon levels/renown etc that I've gained by playing like ten hours of part 1?

    Just to clarify, the final choice comes up AFTER the battle at the holy tomb, not before it begins.

    Just mentionning it, as I saw several players getting confused by it.

    Not sure if you already found out, but it looks like they placed a couple of monks in the monastery that talk about them. Sounds like the Church knows, but doesn't really care? I find this odd; you would think after the battle at the Holy Mausoleum they would want to make sure no one can get through by an underground tunnel or something.

    I'm also looking at the leaked ages of the new characters and I gotta say

      Hide contents

    I'm beginning to question whether Balthus is a student or not. I know he sounds like one, due to his interaction with Hilda, BUT his age is 26. That seems a little old for a student at the Monastery. Especially since we have some Knights of Seiros around that age. I have a feeling Balthus may be a friend of Holst or someone that's served House Goneril but now serves the Church. I could also believe Duke Goneril or Holst sending him to the monastery to watch over her, like a retainer of sorts? But he'll be employed as a knight. He's a weird one. This means that Hapi or Coco will be the new Alliance student.

    But we'll just have to wait and see.

    I saw the dialogues since then, and I still hold on most of my theory. Perhaps the Abyssians manage some kind of black market or do experiments, but have no interest in medling with the above ground's politics, nor the holy tomb. So while the Church would be annoyed by their behaviors, they probably don't feel it's worth the trouble of hunting them down, as they're not an active threat to the stability of Fodlan.

    I don't think there is an age limit in order to be accepted in the academy as a student (Mercedes is 21, after all). My guess is the only requirement is either to be from an influentiual house, or have lots of money.

    Here's my observation on what basic weapons are good at:

    • Training: Weight and Durability
    • Iron: Hit and Weight
    • Steel: Durability and Might
    • Silver: Might and Hit

    Both durability and might influence our choice of weapon for Combat Arts, making Steel Weapons a darling for this.

    The actual question:

    Is there any sound reason (ie. a situation) that you decide against using a Steel Weapon for Combat Arts?

    Sometime, the damage needed may fall short of a few points, so you may need a higher grade weapon (usually silver or regalia. Also killer weapons if the art boost crit). The main disadvantage of silver and higher grade is their much steeper repair/forging/replacement cost overall. That's why steel is the better option for combat arts for most of the time.

    On an unrelated note, Am I going to regret 1 turning chapter 11? I wanted to make sure I got the best reward since I couldn’t get the knowledge gem in Sothis’ paralouge but I don’t know how badly every ounce of exp is need for chapter 13 on Maddening. I don’t feel under leveled my lowest units are level 20 and everyone else is a few levels higher but I want to make sure.

    Lvl20 isn't underleveled at all. Regardless of who & how many you recruit, the paralogues you get will put you on a comfortable spot for quite a while. Chapter 13 maddening isn't that demanding as long you give enough care to the relevant units.

    Where are the Maid and Butler battalions? They aren't buyable in the guild. Do they only know up after the timeskip, or are they from a quest I haven't gotten yet? I'm about to do the Holy Mausoleum chapter.

    I might just be retarded and missing something from the notes but I can't find them anywhere.

    If there's no quest attached, then DLC items, including batalion should be found on Byleth's bed.

    So why doesn’t Jeritza have the Rafail Gem in his inventory? Even if you recruit Mercedes you can’t get access to their Relic in CF at all which is dumb tbh.

    spoiler theory :

    Spoiler

    The Death Knight crave death above all else, regardless if it's upon his enemies or himself. The rafail gem would get in the way of that pleasure, hence why he refuse to equip it.

    The reason he give the relic to Mercedes is to attempt to protect her from himself, as they could most likely clash as enemies. But it's no longuer necessary if they are both on the same side (and especially with the empire having the advantage).

    Some more info about the unreleased classes. If there's anything you want to know that I haven't posted, let me know. Otherwise, I'll be compiling everything for an article on Sunday or Monday.

     

      Hide contents

    Class 0x54 (probably Trickster)

    Abilities: Locktouch, Stealth, New1
    Mastered: Desperation

    Class 0x55 (War Monk/Cleric-like class)

    Abilities: Fistfaire, Unarmed Combat, Heal
    Mastered: Terrain Resistance

    Class 0x56 (Dark Flier?) - Seems to be female-only

    Abilities: Canto, Black Tomefaire, New2
    Mastered: Defiant Mag

    Class 0x57 (Mage Knight?)

    Abilities: Canto, Black Magic Range +1, Dark Magic Range +1
    Mastered: Fiendish Blow

     

    That doesn't seem right : 3 out the 4 mastered abilities are made redundant by cavalier, gremory & mage respectively.

    And that mage cavalier seems like something the dark knight should have been all along. Heck, +1 range is something Holy Knight should have gotten!

    EDIT: Now that I think about it, is there any chance these aren't just scrapped classes that they removed because of balance or anything of the sorts?

    Does anyone know what I miss out on by 1 turning Felix’s paralougue? The only way I think I can keep Rodrigue alive is to stride dance Ingrid and get a crit with Luin but that means all the villagers will still be on the map. I really wish green unit behavior accounted for stronger enemies on Maddening, it doesn’t seem to.

    Green units does get properly scaled up for maddening. Paralogue Rodrigue is litteraly the only unit in the game to not recieve any buff, for some ungodly reason.

    Anyway, green units are considered "saved" if you finish the map before they leave. So you can get all rewards as long as no one die. The only exception is the Remire incident at chapter 8, as Solon will kill all villagers if you approach him too soon.

    Wait, these are...

      Hide contents

    ...all Advanced? No Masters?

    That seems a little odd. Why?:

    • "Dark Flier" as Advanced seems bad when it'd in all likelihood be good enough to qualify as a Master class. Do they not want to set the Flying requirement to Master standards b/c otherwise you're not likely to put a mage in a flight class b/c no others have magic?
    • "Trickster" as a precursor to Mortal Savant would be feasible, and yet, what do they have in mind that's make it somehow worse than a Mortal Savant? Without knowing anything more, it seems as though this would be better than MS and hence available at the same tier.
    • "War Monk", to describe this new Axe-Brawler with Faith, might be a good side-grade to War Master. Presumably it'd drop the Crit +20 for the healing powers, but this make it sound like it too would be better at Master.
    • "Mage Knight" could be a mounted substitute for men lacking Gremory for some odd reason. The Sword requirement would make it more flexible than Dark Knight for those who aren't into Lances. And yet, yet again this seems like it could match the Dark Knight and outdo the Mortal Savant, so why not Master?

     

    I cannot find anything from what little we know to justify any of these as not-Master, given what already counts as Master. Could the designations of "Advanced" be temporary? Or could these be classes being Advanced be an act of kindness (and easiness) to players? Or, are the developers secretly regretting the Master tier and wish they had only made Unique-Beginner-Intermediate-Advanced?

     

    Aside from the few classes that are straight upgrade like wyvern lord or falcon knight, the only major difference between advanced and master is the difficulty of meeting the requirement.

    So assuming their tier isn't just a placeholder, being advanced instead of master is actually a good thing, as it means their exam certification requirement won't be nearly as harsh.

    I can easily imagine requirement for trickster being Sword B+, faith C; and war monk being Brawl B+, faith C. Both of them falls in line with advanced certifications.

    As for the other 2, that's harder to tell : on one hand, the advance tier is lacking in flyers and cavalry units while master already has too much of them. On the other hand, the skills bonus feels a bit too high for advance.
