Ranulfo

I would say about ten lol Thank you for cheering for her so enthusiastically or maybe I would've chosen to pour it all on Lysithea instead to keep her second place. It really helps boost morale when you see a lot of support for the character you want to win. Let's see where she places in the end!

Last day! The anticipation is going to kill me. If baby Bernadetta really wins i'm gonna have to hang my head in shame every time i see my friend for like a month lol. At least make it the war version! All in all I ended up voting once for Ilyana, Astrid, Rebecca, Lute, Linhardt, Dorothea and Tomas, around three or four times for Lysithea and everthing else dumped on my girl Eirika between my computer, my partner's computer and my phone. Honestly the most fun outcome for me would be a full on upset where none of the first and second places keep their positions. I just love unpredictability. Truly a cultured individual.

The only way i could see Marth losing next year is if IS released a surprise remake of FE4 and Seliph and Sigurd got a massive surge in popularity, but that's VERY unlikely lol I also can't see Yuri and Balthus becoming popular enough to straight up beat Marth and Chrom but hey, Three Houses has surprised me before, they could be amazing characters with a great story

Unless Eirika and Marth manage the upset they might be first next year, and there's also Chrom, Seliph, Sigurd and most avatars going strong, especially the female ones. Some people consider Azura, Lilina and Elincia to be close to lords or at least deuteragonists too. Of course if the Three Houses hype is still strong we could see stuff like Dorothea or Felix winning which would be funny

Oh Tomas is definitely a very interesting pick, I'd love to see how they depict him. And I definitely thought about the wolf guard too! Yeah you should definitely vote for your favorites until they make it in. 2019 has definitely shown IS cares a lot about these rankings when it comes to adding characters so it just makes sense your faves first and the ones getting special costumes second. And I can relate to having a thing for green haired boys (and girls), but thankfully most of my green guys and gals have been added, even if some just as alts... I'll throw a vote for Tomas from my partner's computer~

Hi! Thankfully a lot of my favorites managed to get in this year, but among the ones I'd still like to see are Ryan, Cecil, Yuliya and Yubello, Dew, Lana, Coirpre, Lowen, Farina, Zihark, Astrid, Laura, Elena, Amy, Miriel, Emmeryn, Orochi and Sophie. I know I couldn't have voted for everyone but those were my "still not in the game" choices not counting three houses😛. In the end I only managed to throw a vote towards Astrid, Rebecca (to maybe get an alt) and Ilyana (to maybe get a non-alt) before I saw the midterms and started looking around to see if Eirika had a chance or I had to throw my votes at Lysithea. What were your options?

I'm not sure if she can actually make a comeback with all the current three houses waifu hype, but I'm gonna be voting for Eirika. I would normally just keep voting my obscure choices but I've seen so much rallying for her i just gotta help out a bit. It's the vocal minority, but it's something. I actually wouldn't mind all that much if Lysithea was one of the two female winners, but I really would rather pre-character development Bernadetta not get a brave alt. I don't vibe with the uwu must protec messy hair constant screaming version of her. A friend of mine actually criticized me for focusing my votes on the females (she wans Bernie to win lol and even though I told her I'm chill with war arc Bern she's giving me the silent treatment now) when I like Claude and he could lose, but... if Marth upsets him I'd be just fine. If Claude doesn't get second this year he might get first the next and get a nice prf skill!

We might still be able to "lock" characters into one romance by using those arrow things that apparently signify there's more content for certain support ranks. Other than that I like the return to form of the A ranks, though I'll miss paired endings in the epilogue very much if all these do end up being platonic... And some characters being locked to B rank is weird to me, but once again the arrows mechanic will probably make up for that missing A rank convo.

Thank you so much! Very interesting. This reviewer has certainly been dropping a lot of good info. I'm glad to know that the faculty will have a chance to be developed further than just their relationship with Byleth.

Can the faculty members such as Shamir, Manuela, etc. support students and each other? Or only Byleth?

Do we know anything at all about the Charisma/Charm stat? Is there any class that's proficient in it? Some characters require it for recruitment so I'm hoping it's not too hard to increase it

yes thank you so much for this!!! those are exactly the two i wanted haha Marianne is pretty much what i expected but Dorothea seems a bit hard... I hope charisma and authority aren't as hard to focus on as i'm thinking they might be

I'm the type of person that would plan my Genealogy, Awakening and Fates pairings for multiple playthroughs, but i think for 3Houses I'm just gonna let whatever happens happen like I did for the GBA and Gamecube/Wii era. There's no eugenics in this one after all, so no need to overthink it. It just makes sense that the people that work the best together end up forming a stronger relationship, be it friendship or romantic! I would be lying if I said I didn't think a little bit about and I have some preferences, but at least for the first playthrough I want it to be completely organic. I'll do pairs that pique my interest in subsequent playthroughs.

I was expecting a bit more from her, but she definitely has potential to have a cool story. Getting some Panne/Emmeryn vibes from her and Rhea which was definitely not well developed. I hope we get Cyril tomorrow to mirror the Saturday Flayn reveal!

As if I wasn't hyped enough already wow... I really can't wait for this game to release. Hopefully it ends up being as good as it looks!!

Haha wow thank you! I'm glad I could make someone laugh 😛 The numbers are definitely changing as we actively get new information but that's just what happens when we make pre-launch lists. Can't wait until the game releases!

She is my Q U E E N!

I didn't think about it like that, fair point! Hopefully she'll have an interesting role unlike Fates' Anna.if they're gonna go to the point to make her playable.

Good for you! I'm really intrigued about who Cyril will be related to, and Rodrigue has a really interesting design. Anna would be cool too but I don't know if she's gonna be more than a merchant this time around.

I hope we get Rodrigue and Cyril next, I'm really interested in them!

True, we don't, Here's hoping we don't get another Gregor or Athena! Hopefully we'll get more cards with likes and dislikes from the other members of the Black Eagles before we go straight to the Blue Lions. I wonder if we'll learn about Bernadetta's hobbies, or if Ferdinands dislikes are "Empire" and "Edelgard" lmao

She might actually have a talent for axes given her crest is the same as in Edelgard's bone weapon. Although it's hard to imagine meek Marianne with a big ass axe 😛

True, I'm also happy they're not going for an obvious stereotype. As a foreigner myself I just wish they would hire an actual foreign voice actor for these type of characters that have the fact they're still learning the language be such a huge part of who they are, instead of telling a natural English speaker to make a silly accent or not trying at all. But it's just a minor nitpick. This is a fictional country she's from so for all I know it could be an equivalent to Sweden in terms of language, even if her physical appearance doesn't suggest they were going for that.

Fair enough. To me she just sounds like a perfect American adding plurals where they shouldn't be, but hopefully that just means she's advanced enough in her learning that she'll speak almost perfect Fodlaner(?) after the timeskip. I'm sure that'd make her happy!

Can't wait for Edelgard to summon three dragons and ride them across the entire continent setting everything on fire because you didn't choose to help her study to become a brigand. Linhardt looks cute in that cutscene, and I actually like Hubert better now that I know he's probably gonna be a tired sarcastic asshole who likes coffee lmao Petra though... Not loving her speech patterns. That's not really how someone that's learning English speaks, though I guess it depends on what her mother tongue is.
