This is inaccurate, but it's fine as you hadn't played it. The reason why Byleth has no heartbeat

That's stranger though considering the Church has more connection with the Kingdom than with the Empire, so they should've known about Edelgard on the downlow unless they were deliberately kept secret by Lambert.

Edelgard told you that her siblings would either go crazy or die as result of the experiment, so those who went insane are probably still alive but in an asylum. Or they were later killed.

She has an indirect responsibility. She didn't want Jeralt to die because she doesn't know Jeralt's stance, and she would potentially wants him in the future because Byleth is in her PoV a monster fighter, so daddy has to be something of a monster too right, but TWSITD is twisted hehe

I started Edelgard as dancer because why not, and surprisingly, the stats made her stomp the game with sword and axe. Plus it'd be amusing to see an emperor rallying her force by giving the hand flickers and some hip shakes.

Without trying to sound like one of THOSE guys. Edelgard is a rather complex character as several people above have said. She's villainous, emotionally cold, and bullheaded about her goal are the aspects one could describe her... if you plays the other routes. According to my mild research, outside of her route, only two other routes show her as a somewhat sympathetic villain at her end where the last other route outright shows her as absolute evil. Regarding Edelgard herself. As far as I'm concerned, she's a well-meaning person who simply chose a path that she had no choice in taking. Her path was forcibly laid out in front of her by her past and the scheming conspiracy hidden beneath it. If Sothis was capable of rewinding even further back before the game's start, I believe an alternate route would be possible that leads to her happiness proper without the bloodstained path being present, but alas, Sothis isn't that almighty. However I am glad that Edelgard is the character they chose for this role.

You're going to have to proceed the story. If it cannot be viewed at the time, it means you need to do story for the context of the said event to make sense.

I don't particularly hate Dimitri and I did Edelgard's route first, all I have to say he's more of an unlikable individual after the time skip. In fact Edelgard is REALLY likeable in that route for a first impression. Edelgard Route spoiler, don't read if you want to learn it yourself. In particular I'm actually avoiding Blue Lions till it's only one left because I don't want to see the events surrounding Edelgard in that.

More precisely, we play as the villains.

Rather than any of these. How about we are the villain?

Voted for Idunn every day.

did no one notice Xander has no butt armor in the first panel?

nom nom nom. She's adorable.

To be fair, for all the hates on Grima is somewhat undeserving, his character isn't even developed, all we know about him is that he just wanna destroy the damn world and that the First Exalt sealed him. That's literally it. What drove him to desire the world's destruction? What defined him? How did the First Exalt gain victory over this being of absolute destruction? Why is Naga's power the exact same level as Grima's power? Why is he a Earth Dragon when he's clearly more than that? In my own opinion tho Grima wins. Anankos can be slayed by anyone if they tried hard enough. Grima has power to resurrect himself every time as long as he's not slain by his own host (or his mirror), as long as evil exist, he exist. Anankos was driven mad because of him being a dragon, that caused his power to be somewhat weaker as result because a mad dog is easier to put down. While Grima is extremely calculating and devious. Grima nearly destroyed the world at the time of First Exalt's era. Anankos did rat ass. Anankos's downfall was result of his own child. Grima's downfall was result of his own carelessness. (Travelling back to the past caused Robin to lose memories and gained vague memories of the timeline Alt Grima came from. That alone was fatal for Grima.) Naga could not kill Grima because doing so would result Naga's death as well. Anankos has no equal to counteract himself. I'm just pulling random things at this point, but majority of these Grima wins.

Odin's a special case. With magic, he's obviously not A rank, he'd just learned how to use, mainly because he's obsessive over "8th grader syndrome" habit. I'd have to say he's B rank with Magic. But A Rank if he's given a sword again.

You should put Awakening Trio up to A rank at the very less, Laslow was able to match or at very least best Xander in a match to see if Laslow was worthy of being his retainer, it should be assumed that the other two are capable of such strength.

Harem Kingdom = Garon incident. Totally good idea!

That's just a generic dark mage Edit: Nevermind. wrong scene.

Blow on her, Corrin! You know you want to!

Kyle doesn't have weapons on the map you recruit him in Eirika path. You may also want to fix Ephraim's spawn on eirika map (Cormag slot) Foot unit can't climb mountain ;)

I'm safe then. Had to enter skirmish on chapter 9 to make a shop run, but left the map immediately for world shop.

Ah right. [spoiler=Chapter 5] 9 turns Myrrh got some training here thankfully. Caellach enjoyed a few hits here and there while Valter wiped out majority of the map. Rescued all villages and wiped out bandits, Recruited Rennac and Caellach kills boss. [spoiler=Chapter 5x] 20 turns Wasn't investing on this chapter to train Cormag when I had two undrafted and a traitor, so I decided to hurry it off. Grabbed both chests and immediately ferried Orsen over with Cormag, managed to let Cormag get the finishing blows for some of the units to get 3 levels, Killed boss, traded over a couple essential items from Orsen and seized. [spoiler=Chapter 6] 3 turns. Sum of the map, Valter in front, flies him over to a mountan tile with javelin equipped first turn. Rest above village to draw fires. Valter moves closer to boss turn 2. Rest heads to fort location. Valter "!"'d into boss location on a forest tile third turn. EP boss suicides after other units fed my units a few more levels.
