そのターン中のみ、味方の移動力を+5する。味方が集まっていれば、複数人に効果を与えられる。 移動力が低い歩兵でも、この計略を使えばより遠くまで移動できるぞ。 "During the turn, increase the movement of your ally by +5. If allies gather, it can be effective for multiple people. Even with low mobility infantry, you can use this scheme to move farther. " I don't know if google is messing up or what, because this sounds absurd. Either way, the knights system is looking very involved, and that's definitely a plus for me. It's also confirmed that unit identity will not be as big a problem as initially believed, what's with crests, personal skills and maybe gender-specific classes(even though those are not exactly fan favorites). Also infantry is getting a potentially really strong weapon type to compensate for low movement. Really good stuff across the board.

We've got the name of the last known student, which is Ingrid. Edit: Woops, someone had said it already.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. Personal skills could be comparable to Jugdral/Tellius rather than Fates, so some character may not have them. Or, they don't want to reveal them at this point. Edit: Well, looking at it again(been slacking on this one), it does seem weird. They're under their own section, too... so at least we may know fairly quickly.

You're the first I ever see calling her Leah, but they're the same in japanese. Both are written "レア" In other words, that's not a change, just a different interpretation. Both are valid.

Ok, on it!

Bernadetta's a real name though, while Dedue, I'm not quite sure...

Oh. ... so that's two people with a successful career in singing at the same place that left to join a military school. That's an interesting coincidence.

And heeeere's the h. Be right back...

Well, why would you assume she teaches singing? In the only scene we have with her she seems to be a regular teacher. It's not like Byleth teaches how to be a mercenary specifically either.

Okay, so me being oblivious as ever, I hadn't spotted the symbol on Byleth's profile page and misunderstood your post. So just to address that; yup, which lends credence to the theory that him and that old enemy leader are related.

I think I got it confused with the name "Manuelle", but yours is probably the right version. I edited it.

Can't say. I've found the post that regrouped all of its known appearances though, by Lord_Grima: Feels like there's no way it's not important.

Interestingly, the thumbnail for the english site has the symbol as an icon. You know, "the" symbol:

I paste the copied link into the search bar, then manually copy it from there. Probably going to leave it to others from now on, no point in us all doing it at once Anyway, imo she definitely looks like she's our femme fatale for this iteration. Well we saw her cast fire magic in trailer 1, for what it's worth.

Manuela. Her design is... well, I'm sure you can tell.

So I noticed, and same here:) But it does exist apparently, it's just extremely rare: https://www.filae.com/nom-de-famille/DOUDOU.html For people who don't read french, it says 298 people have been recorded being named that at birth since 1891, and it is the 33295th most given name in France. It's probably not extremely accurate, but it gives an idea. Edit: Wait wait wait, I looked at the wrong link, these are stats for Doudou as a last name... this would be the relevant link here: https://www.magicmaman.com/prenom/doudou,2006200,1205087.asp ... basically the information is the same though. It exists, but barely.

Can't say I've ever run into it as a name. Could be uncommon I suppose. I guess that doesn't match with the surname but, to me it feels like it's a purposefully simplistic, phonetic name rather than a reference to a real-world one. Either way I'm not sure we can really come up with something as reasonably likely as with most of the others in his case. ... I'll put a note under his name.

Everyone's kind of going with their own version right now. Don't take mine at face value anymore than you would anyone else's, it's just pending official localization at this point, and who can say for sure what they'll go with?

I wonder. The pink-haired figure looks like the kind to have their own organization, and even it it's linked to the church, revealing it on the main site would probably be deemed spoilery. I think I can recall someone saying something of the sort yes, but I can't spot the emblem on Byleth's clothes at the moment.

Well we still don't have the "bad guys", so to speak.

That is really interesting. Guess Jeralt might not be dying early after all.

Okay, he's meant to be insufferable, then; that explains the design. I can dig that. Also explains why he's the one they killed off to showcase the new turnwheel mechanic.

Here's everyone's favorite, Lorentz/Laurence

Dang. No wonder I didn't get any of this. It did seem weird that they'd mention golden week on the cover, I guess...? ... unfortunately, that's all I've got.
