1-5 are all irrelevant to what I said. And where in-game is it stated that he died during the war?
I've seen multiple people propose the idea of Agarthan interference without any proof, and while I'm not trying to turn this into yet another Edelgard vs Rhea argument, it seems like the idea was born of Edelgard haters trying to make her look as much of a Slither puppet as possible to justify their hatred.

While you could make a build around Vantage/Wrath/Defiant skills, that requires the unit to take damage to work, and you're better off not taking damage at all if you can.

Come to think of it, it's entirely possible that someone at that wedding reception saw Wilhelm hug Seiros (not an unusual occurrence at a wedding) and said "Wilhelm and Seiros hugging? I bet they're secret lovers" and the gossip got around to the book writer.

Being serious I don't think they had a loving relationship and I think he gained the crest of Seiros the same way Jeralt did. Also, it seems he was her closest human ally of his time so I doubt he was the one who began the false accusations against Seiros. I won't be surprised if a Agratahan sneaked their own ideas in his journal.
Sometimes people change their minds about their beliefs. Until we get actual evidence that Slither implanted the idea in the royal family's heads, I will not believe it.

Seiros and the 4 Saints (well, except Macuil) gifted their crests to certain nobles who aided them. I mean, Cethleann never had children, but Linhardt has her Crest. Cichol only has one known child (Cethleann) but Ferdinand has his Crest.
On a semi-related note, something I've been wondering is why, if Wilhelm helped Seiros take power, he still spread his version of history through his descendants. Did he at some point become disillusioned with her, and the social order she brought about?

I'd say probably not. You'd think the imperial family would be VERY boastful if they had been descended from the most holy figure in Fodlan. In this case their silence on the matter probably speaks volumes. In general the crests of the saints seems to have been granted by the saints rather than having been passed down through blood and the crest of Seiros likely isn't any different.
Personally I'd say Wilhelm being more of a father figure to Seiros would have been more interesting.
This. Plus in CF chapter 17, Rhea refers to Edelgard as "his scion". Presumably if her own flesh and blood betrayed her, especially given her mental state in CF, it would've been something more personal.
Not to mention Dorothea explicitly mentions the possibility of future writers adding sexual tension to a story in both CF and AM.

To my understanding her name is Seiros, Rhea is basically a fake identity, but they are sometimes used interchangeably, it is referring to the same person.
Isn't being the descendants of Sothis and being the children of the goddess the same thing? I could be wrong, but doesn't do this imply that the four Saints were in fact Nabateans?
Correct. Seiros is her actual name, and Nabateans is the proper name of their race. I'm annoyed by the name "children of the goddess" because we don't get much lore on them, so people might interpret that name literally.
SpoilerI mean Cethleann can't literally be Sothis' child, unless Cichol...yuck...although that would explain why Rhea is so weird about Byleth/Sothis...BRB I'm gonna go throw up...

I'd like to know more about Ernest (Anna's Crest namegiver). The mystery behind the other four crests lost to history was solved in dlc 4, but the origin of the Crest of Ernest is still unknown.
Annas are the FE equivalent of the Gerudo. Ernest was their Ganondorf, the only known male of the entire race. Done. =P

Is it bad that I don't think trashing cilantro recipes is flaming? The cilantro doesn't have feelings.The moral of the story is that you can't make other people like your waifu as much as you do, and you probably shouldn't jump into a different group of people expecting them to hold the same views and opinions of the previous group while still seeking validation.
It's kind of weird.
Not to mention that, instead of saying "No one else likes Flayn!", he could be saying "I don't have to share Flayn with anyone! I get her all to myself!"

Her willingness to make the same sacrifices as her soldiers is one aspect of Edelgard I really admire, I do find her level of dedication to her cause to be very admirable. I am just surprised that she was able to transform back at all, I don't think I have seen that with anyone else
It seems to be standard. Miklan, Maurice, and the random students from Chapter 9 all return to normal after defeat.

I guess I should say that I do like Ferdinand, I was just picking on him.

Final round!
DOROTHEA! KICK THAT SMUG NOBLEMAN'S ASS!
Sorry, Edelgard, you were my second choice.
-
Yes, Blue Lions only.
On a semi-related note, it bugs the hell out of me that the game considers him a Church Unit. He was a knight of Faerghus, not the Church, before his self-imposed exile, he only joins in AM, and when they added Jeritza, he was considered a Black Eagle. IDGAF what the game says, Gilbert is a Blue Lion, and nothing anyone says can change my mind.

Also, her mouth movements seem unnatural in a way that I can't quantify.
Thank you. Didn't think to mention it before, but yes, it bugs the hell out of me, too. And she's the only one; every other character's lip flaps look natural (if a bit generic) except hers.
-
She's nice enough, I just have other girls I like better.

I've grown numb to people calling characters they don't like Hitler. I've heard it so many times over the years, and it's usually because they can't actually explain what they don't like about them.
-
Fair enough. Also kinda bummed that the Ashen Wolves don't have Goddess Tower scenes. But at least they can be dancers.
-
It's kinda tricky. The battalion itself is great, so I'm very inclined to use it. Which means, strictly speaking, that yes, I'm using the gambit. But the opportunities to do so will be very few.

So one thing I have heard from other people in other places is that Edelgard was gaslighting Byleth in crimson flower.
Personally, I don't get that impression at all, I think that the vulnerable Edelgard we see in our support conversations with Byleth are very much her genuine feelings. Is there any credit to the idea that she is manipulating Byleth at all or is it just another case of people not understanding that someone like Edelgard could have a softer side?
Not that I've seen. People probably underestimate how much one little thing can change a person. I could totally see non-CF Edelgard reacting to Byleth not joining her as: "That's what I get for trusting someone. Never again will I be so foolish," which is when she closes off her heart and becomes the ruthless Edelgard of those routes.
That or they're just looking for reasons to justify their hatred.

What the hell? I just got to Part 2, and watched the Edelgard/Constance A support. I heard someone on here say that Constance's Part 2 hairstyle was "Part 2 Mercedes" levels of awful, and...no? Constance's hair is just fine.

Not to mention, Gharnef, Iago, and Validar are all clones of Robin
Frankly, I had always assumed that was why they picked those 3.

Dorothea and Caspar. Might add Constance to the list as well.

I actually thought that Edelgard declaring war on the Church specifically was a political move. It gave the Kingdom and Alliance lords a chance to decide their loyalties before joining the fight, knowing that those who oppose the Church would likely join her, or at least stay neutral.
1 minute ago, omegaxis1 said:If she really wanted to go without Byleth, she would have. She's not dependent entirely on Byleth, given how she spent the last five years fighting the war while Byleth was gone.
There's a strong difference in Edelgard's tactics in CF as opposed to the other routes, precisely because she no longer gives the Agarthans too much influence any longer.
It's still Byleth's influence, but without their physical presence. Knowing that the professor, now missing, supported her before allowed her continue on without descending into the darkness.

Didn't they specify in an interview that they purposefully saving Roy and Ike for a potential sequel?
And I don't think calling it FE3H Warriors would actually prevent outrage. I think the "3 games at a time plus a couple randoms" was the right idea. I'd go 3H/Binding Blade/PoR, Alm, one or two more SD characters, and either Sigurd or Seliph. Plus all FEW1 characters obviously, decloned as much as time as budget constraints allow.

Impotent nerdrage.
Oh, you mean predict CHARACTERS! No idea.
Was Emperor Wilhelm and Seiros an item?

Well, yes, but when I say that, I mean people who are trying to make Edelgard look comically, impossibly stupid. Yes, there are things she doesn't know or understand, but she's still mentally competent.
