Lord Otto Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 So I finished the route where you side as Edelgard, and sense I didn't make separate saves for the path I am wondering if it is wroth replaying the whole Black Eagles path just for the Church path.

Ronman5 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hi so to answer your question the Church path is about as long as Claudes and Dimitris, with Edelgards being the shortest path. It shows the opposite situation of how the church is portraited than the one Edelgard shows, and gives you a lot of backstory for the Church and some more "spoilerly" members you had to fight in the Edelgards route.. Also important to note you lose your Lord and Hubert, in turn you keep four units one of whom is the oppressively strong Catherine... and (I haven't played it yet but) you have to maybe protect Rhea as she joins you as an NPC unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wissenschaft Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Short answer. Yes, its worth replaying Black Eagles for the church path. It has its own unique ending and like all the paths in game it further fleshes out the lore of the setting. So there are actually 4 routes in the game.

If you don't pick her you lose her and Hubert, but if you do chose her will you lose all the teachers you recruited like Shamir or Alois?

Sire Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 The Church Route seems to be the proper "Black Eagles" route as it matches in length with the other routes. In addition, it is the route the game defaults to if you do not meet certain conditions with Edelgard. (In essence, the "Edelgard" path can be considered the hidden, bonus route of Three Houses) So, it is completely worth it to play through again to experience the Church Route. Besides the New Game + bonuses, you can optimize your team better now you know how the Black Eagles play. - - - - - Also, there's no rush to delve into the Church Route immediately. You can also play the other routes as well before coming back to the Black Eagles and making the other choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it support related? From what I've gathered: - You need a C Byleth x Edelgard and a C Byleth x Hubert (not 100% sure about Hubert) - Go with her to her coronation when she asks you to By doing those two things you unlock the option to pick her side in ch 12.

From my limited understanding... (I may be incorrect on this.) Spoiler 1. You need to have a C+ Support with Edelgard. (See both C conversations with Edelgard.)2. You need to talk to Edelgard, while exploring the monastery, during Chapter 11 of the Black Eagles. // She will ask you if you will join her where she is going. Say yes, and you will be on Edelgard's path. Say no, and you'll remain on the Church path. There is a big giant prompt on the screen saying "This decision will drastically change the story." Personally I just reached the split option at Chapter 11, so I can't report on anything else aside from what I've read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronman5 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) After you beat the chapter your given a prompt to Execute her or side with her, execute = Church, side = Edelgards route Actually I think its before the chapter cause I think you need to beat Rhea... or that might be Chapter 12 idk this is based on small bits off footage I saw from Gameexplain Edited July 30, 2019 by Ronman5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just another opportunity to go church if you don't like finding out what she did post-ch11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful; she's had basically all the promotional material. It is a bonus route, but it's definitely not a late-development addition.

Tenzen12 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 What false advertising in game industry?! (insert surprised Pikachu face). Both Claude and Di are great guys, but I doubt game would attract big crowd on sausages fest and it would be bad idea spoil major twist of story too.

Not exactly false advertising, considering the game itself tells you to follow her. Hell, even the game opening shows only her and Byleth's relics. Having an Edelgard hateboner doesn't really erase what the game pushes. (Though I don't exactly like the favoritism in it, even though I agree with her ideals. Let people make their own decisions.) And haven't they advertised perfectly fine on games with male lords in the past? Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenzen12 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 They didn't? Awakening, Fates, Echoes all put their main girls on front from get to go. Telius and game before had practically no coverage whatsover. Only example where advertised guy won crowd was when Dorcas died on poisoned mutton. I personally don't have "hateboner" as you said for Edie, but it's obvious her route is hardly more then bonus stage. Never trust trailer that's most basic rule.
