Everyone's already given some really good tips (even stuff I didn't know, like no SP gain without rings!), but I'll add in some. These are definitely not necessary but are good for certain play-styles: If you want to get even more upgrade materials for your weapons, put a bunch of dogs on your farm in the Somniel. Dogs give you ores. Other animals give you food items. After adopting them you have to manually go to the farm and choose which animals will be in the pasture. Unless you're interested in adopting every animal, it's probably not good to invest a lot in donating to other countries. After certain points, it gets very expensive. First level is good if you want cooking ingredients/better skirmish rewards. There are ways to farm for certain bond rings in the gacha without wasting too many bond fragments. If you're interested, there are several tutorials on youtube (which also tell you about the bond rings with the best S skills). It's better to save fragments for unlocking and inheriting emblem ring skills. ALSO...if you ever intend to use the DLC emblems on another run, make sure to do all the divine paralogues (where you get the DLC emblems) BEFORE completing the fell xenologue (the new story). The enemies on DLC emblem maps will be jacked up to much higher levels once you complete the fell xenologue, so unless you want a challenge, be sure to get the emblems first. You receive the DLC characters at level 20, so it's best not to finish the xenologue before chapter 13 of the main story.

From the supports I've read, it feels like IS was trying to counter whatever complaints were made about Three Houses but "overcorrected" a bit too hard. They're all very platonic and if there's any subtext (especially for the same-sex ones, because god forbid) you have to squint very hard. However, I do think line delivery may be able to sell the subtext better than a broken-up text file does. Fogado/Bunet for instance is really serving a combo of Ashe/Dedue and Dimitri/Dedue and could be really heartfelt. No paired endings for everyone besides Alear is a major L, though. I've never really cared about the avatar's relationships as much as everyone else's... Also keep in mind the translations could be a bit...janky. I remember a lot of the same-sex stuff was butchered in Three Houses when it got localized. But, considering how universal it seems. Idk! We'll see.

TY! I started a big list on google spreadsheets a while ago, but it's such a mess it's probably best to start from scratch...

(I have no idea where the datamine is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask) Hate to be devolving into my own questions instead of just digging for it myself, but do we have support lists yet? Not S-Supports, just regular ones. I'd like to update my list on the other thread. u-u' I'm most curious about Timerra and Fogado at this point.

You’re in luck -u-

Oops, thank you! It’s way past my bed time and I cannot number

Finally, I guess this thread is coming to a close…Unique additional outfit designs are only given to playable characters, so the art book has revealed that- Clocking us in at 36 playable characters!

These are awesome, thank you! And with that we have our full playable cast.

I think once the game gets dumped (assets, music, playable rom, etc.), probably around Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest, info will be much easier to obtain. Current leaker doesn’t seem to have the tech to “dump” the game so it’ll be slow going until then. We’ll also get official full reviews on Wednesday/Thursday.

Whoops misinterpreted that! But you’re welcome. So far leaker has only given supports for the royals (up until Ivy’s introduction). Citrinne has supports with her cousins (Diamant and Alcryst) and likely Lapis, and Yunaka has a support with Alfred and (by NWR’s admission) Louis.

I think this support was actually already confirmed by Nintendo World Report’s released screenshots. ^-^

Not sure if this counts, but Ivy does get a new skill called Grasping Void (?) when she promoted to Lindwurm. It sometimes triggers (% chance = dex) extra damage = half of foes magic stat when attacking with a tome. Hortensia joins with a break staff but that’s all that’s been said about her so far.

Leaker is back! I’ll add the map images. Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14

Not to derail the leak conversation any more but if you bring 3Hopes into this perspective there was, specifically, a severe lack of older women in the Fodlan games. Which Engage has remedied a bit with the 2 queens and [Redacted].

Guess I’ll be sticking to normal classic for now ^-^’
