Not sure if someone has answered this, I'm trying hard to navigate this thread without spoiling too much, but I would really appreciate some confirmation on whether or not the 4th route is only accessible in the Black Eagles route or if it is accessible to all three. This will affect which house I play first, so I need to know before I start the game. Sorry if it's already been mentioned!

I didn't even think about how difficult it would be to unlock classes. I guess if you want more of a challenge, you just do the best you can with the weaknesses, but for a slightly easier run you could also level up skills that are neutral. Some characters would still probably have trouble getting a master class that doesn't require one of their strengths, but it definitely gives you more options!

So I was looking at all the characters' strengths and weaknesses just to plan out what I want to prioritize, and I started thinking about some ways to mix it up if I replay one of the houses. I came up with a way to make a more challenging run that might make up for the lack of a Lunatic difficulty (I'm not actually sure about this, I've just only seen people talking about Normal and Hard). Introducing: Weakness Challenge Run! Basically, this challenge run revolves around instructing students to focus on the skills for which they have a weakness (i.e., Faith for Edelgard, Reason for Dimitri, etc.). There are only a few rules to follow in order to make this run a challenge: Obviously, the point of this run is to level up weak skills, so you can only instruct students to work on those skills. For example, Petra has to focus on Reason and Faith, while Lorentz can only focus on Brawling. If a student has no weaknesses (Ingrid, Ferdinand, etc.), you have a bit more freedom of what to have them focus on, as long as they don't focus on their strengths. However, just to keep the difficulty the same for every character, you cannot individually instruct a character with no weaknesses. If a student has a hidden talent in a skill they are weak in, such as Dorothea with Faith, that skill can not be improved. This is because it becomes a strength once the hidden talent is acquired, which would ruin the point of the run. So yeah, that's the Weakness Challenge Run! It doesn't have much replayability within the same hosue, but it's a nice way to mix it up with some added difficulty. Let me know what you guys think!

I want to say that the activity points are replenished every week, but quests from characters are probably based on the whole month, not the week. If it's how I think it is, then the developers might have wanted players to talk to everyone each month to unlock every quest (which you could do on one weekend) and still have activity points each weekend in case the player wanted to do more skill-leveling (like singing in the choir) or item-finding (like fishing, gardening) activities during the other weekends of the month. So in other words, getting all the quests from talking to people should (hopefully) only take one weekend of the month, and the rest of the weekends you can revisit the monastery for extra activities, as something else to do instead of seminars or battles. As for lost items, I would guess if you don't find them during the month they appear, they probably disappear. But if you find them, you'll probably get to keep them after the month resets.
