Others have said it, but I'll say it too: No gender-locked classes. Please. Let men be pegasus knights and women smash things. Seeing Frammé using Brawling in the trailer gave me hope. I also hope for decent reclass options. I do think classes should go back to niches, but I'd like some customization akin to 3H, Awakening, and Fates. Maybe have starting classes be locked to certain weapons and give later tier classes the ability to use whatever (Master Classes, anyone?).

Yeah, Three Houses is my favorite game so far, but the graphics are not great. I personally wouldn't call them awful, though they are far from what the Switch is capable of and that is a disappointment to me. Engage's graphics are clean and very pretty. I am really liking the battle forecast screens and the interfaces. I also hope they balance the lack of weapon durability. I don't particularly care if durability is in a Fire Emblem game or not, but I don't want a repeat of Fates, where I was stuck using forged iron weapons to avoid penalties.
I am glad the calm/battle versions of music tracks are returning yet again. I really enjoy the differences between map and in-battle themes.
The lack of critical hit cut-ins leave me with mixed feelings. I am sad to see them go, but they were getting less and less interesting. The ones in Awakening were nice. The ones in Fates were meh to me. I liked the ones in 3H, though they weren't as good as Awakening's. I hope the critical hit quotes in Engage are good. I don't remember any from Fates. Several from 3H were awesome and Frederick's "Pick a god a pray" is top tier.

I'm feeling fairly optimistic. While I don't like seeing Marth yet again (give the man a rest), seeing the other heroes is pretty nice. Glad to see Erika and Micaiah. I don't mind the artstyle, although it does remind me of Genshin Impact. The gameplay and interface looks pretty good. I like the windmills and other scenery shown. The weapon triangle is back! Brawling is back! It also looks like there will be a home base again, which I don't mind. I enjoyed Three Houses and it's my favorite FE game so far, but I hope Engage's base is a little less busy. The gimmick of using past heroes is neat and has potential if done well.
The story seems to be very typical "fight evil dragon" like in previous games. After the beautifully heavy stories in Three Houses, a more traditional good versus evil story might be a welcome breather, especially if a potential FE4 remake is on the way. I love the political drama and heavy themes in TH and would like FE4 to appear in the West so I can play it officially, but I'd like something else while waiting to see if the leaks are true. A more basic story can still be a good one if done right.
Both M!Alear and F!Alear have absurd hair, but I personally find it charmingly absurd. I like the idea of the Avatar being a dragon and I'm hoping it's implanted better than it was in Fates. Corrin's status as a half-dragon was only story relevant for a short time (the most it mattered was the chapter it was introduced and Revelations Route). Their clothing designs are pretty solid, though the color distribution and saturation isn't great. I'm so happy F!Alear is nothing like F!Byleth in terms of her outfit. Some elements of their clothes remind me of Hoshido for some reason. Might be just me. The Pepsi Man and Pepsi Woman are silly in a way that I find cute. I love all of the toothpaste and Pepsi jokes.

I would like to see Eliwood and Hector. Gotta complete the trio. If the villains can summon past antagonists, I'd like to see Arvis because Sigurd is one of the heroes. I'd also like to see Lyon. I think the summoning gimmick will be really neat and I hope it's implemented well.

Oh dear. Where do I begin? I have so many ships already...
F!Byleth/Dimitri (Azure Moon), F!Byleth/Rhea (Silver Snow), F!Byleth/Claude (Verdant Wind), F!Byleth/Edelgard (Crimson Flower). Romance all the main characters!!!!!
Dorothea/Ferdinand
Marianne/Ignatz (I think it's a cute concept)
Leonie/Lorenz (Tough girl and blueblood snob? Yes please)
Flayn/Felix (Rarepair? I like it, though)
Bernadetta/Hubert He's actually not as ass to her, at least that I've seen), Bernadetta/Raphael
Annette/Caspar (It was cute when he cheered her up in C support. Have to continue!!)
Mercedes/Dedue (Azure Moon and Everyone Lives fanfic) I love their interactions.
Hilda/Claude (for a fic I'm writing since F!Byleth is with Rhea in it. Also I like them), Hilda/Cyril
Ingrid/Sylvain (Childhood friend romance and womanizer realizes that what he was looking for was there all along :P)
Petra/Ashe (I like their supports. He's such a nice guy, you can pair him with anyone), Petra/Dorothea (it's popular, I guess. I like it)
Lysithea/Linhardt (He's one of the people who can save her!!)
Catherine/Shamir (I think this one is obvious. C'mon they clearly have a connection)
Manuela/Seteth (They open a school and it's so precious!!! Also like they idea of the lonely dragon widower finding love again)
Edelgard/Dimitri (Tragic that it can only be done in fix-it fanfics), Edelgard/Hubert (The next best thing)
I have also read a very good Hubert/Ferdinand fic that takes place in BL route where Ferdie sided with Dimitri. They win the war and take Hubert prisoner instead of killing him. The tension and arguements between the two are amazing. Go read this if you like the ship! It's on AO3 and it's by Bohemienne (I think that's how that how the author spelled it).

I'm currently doing a Silver Snow NG+ and I'm spamming gifts and tutoring. It works very well. I'm aware of the time limits for the supports and have planned accordingly. Can't wait!
-
I didn't have too much trouble with it in BL, my first ever run. My Dimitri was doubling and either OHKO or ORKOing everyone who looked at him funny. Maybe I just did some grinding before the timeskip? Luck?? I'll see how it goes in my current (second) playthrough of Silver Snow NG+.

I'm actually doing that now! Gonna get as many boosters as I can! Thanks!

Welp, my Byleth is defense screwed. 9 at Level 18. I'm honestly considering restarting NG+ (have a final boss BL save file just in case) even if I have to go through 6 chapters again. Most of my team (and I've recruited all but Hilda so far) are okay, but some are speed screwed, some are strength screwed and Lysithea is getting magic screwed. I've had enough. If Advanced classes don't patch up some of their stats, I'm restarting Silver Snow even though it'll be a headache.
-
I'm on my first NG+, doing Silver Snow. I'm thinking of making Ferdinand the Dancer (since I missed the thing in BL), but if not, I guess his canon class will do. I was also tempted to make him the Dark Mage. Maybe on my eventual BE run I'll make Edelgard a Bishop (LOLOLOLOL).
-
I'm playing my second run (Church route NG+) and everyone seems to hate Strength (and a few hate Speed). I'm now at chapter 6, so hopefully my Eagles and recruits get their acts straight. And Lysithea has not leveled Magic for 2-3 levels. Annette now has more magic. Sigh. At least she'll probably KO the Death Knight with Dark Spikes.

There is no problem with Rhea being the court, judge, jury and executioner because this is not a modern Earth society. She is the religious leader in the equivalent of a fantasy medieval society. Even in our "real" history kings and emperors and archbishops historically didn't have a lot (or any) checks on their power. Which is why we don't have very many absolute monarchies ruling things today. Rhea was the absolute monarch of the Church of Seiros but she was definitely not a tyrant, it’s not like she was out committing wanton acts of murder just because people didn't believe in the Goddess. The ones who were executed plotted her assassination, broke into her tomb, assaulted her students and tried to steal literally her mother's remains. Sure they were deceived by TWSITD but they did the crimes and deserved their punishment.
Also, Rhea created hollow people and tossed Sothis' heart into them to see if it would take. She basically created something from nothing and when Sothis failed to materialize in them they just lived out their lives and when they died, she tried again. Is this a good thing? Obviously not! She said that what she was doing was forbidden but it is very disingenuous to act as if she was conducting some kind of devastating human experimentation. She was not doing a TWSITD on these "creations". The only "human" that we know she did this on was Byleth who was dead.
Yes, Rhea rewrote the history but it had nothing to do with keeping humans under her control. It was to end the war and save what was left of her race. Think about what the true history of Fodlan (at least as much as Rhea knew) is: The Goddess of this world was a super powerful dragon who came from some other world and had a lot of children. The Goddess decided that Fodlan was nice and that she would protect it and started passing out technology to her new people. Of course, the people were not good and used their new toys to wage war on each other which led to the continent being nuked. The Goddess then had to use most of her power to fix the scorched land and afterwards she took a long nap to recover her strength. Unfortunately, while she was sleeping the Goddess was murdered by a bandit named Nemesis who drank her blood to give himself superpowers and took her heart and bones to have them crafted into a weapon of mass destruction. Then, Nemesis and his bandit gang went to the home of the Goddess’ children and slaughtered most of them. All the murdering bandits then drunk the dead dragons’ blood to give themselves superpowers and grabbed the hearts and remains so that they could also have powerful weapons. The remaining handful of the Goddess’ children relocated to the south to plot their revenge on Nemesis and his gang who were using their superpowers to wage war, enrich themselves and have children, passing down their ill-gotten dragon blood to their descendants. Many years passed and finally the last of the Goddess’ children had gathered enough ambitious humans together to form an army, but the humans needed a little extra help so four of them gave their blood to the humans to wage war. And they won. The End.
Except it would never have been the end! It would have been an unending war on the descendants of the “Elites”, the Nabateans and their allies. They would have been hunted by every enterprising human who wanted their own superpowers, or they would have been hunted by those who saw them as abominations. Chaos and war would have destroyed Fodlan which was the exact opposite of what Sothis, and by extension Rhea, wanted. Yes, a thousand years later (!) Fodlan's society had turned increasingly toxic but that wasn’t Rhea’s intention nor was it her fault.
I know that Edelgard (because she's been brainwashed virtually since birth) believes that Rhea has been moving humans around on her own personal chessboard for a millennia but we as the game players know that is not true. She leads the Church, which is as Jeralt said, a ridiculously large religious organization but she had no direct power over the nobles and by the time the game starts even her ability to influence them was waning. Let's be real here, she couldn't even get them to agree to let their children live next door to commoners in her own dormitory but she was supposed to be able to tell them how to run their territories! Sure, she could tell them that Sothis would damn them or send her army to smite anyone who got too out of hand but how many times would that work before she would have faced a violent uprising herself. The Church has specific doctrine on how disappointed the Goddess is with humanity's greed and violence, the Church encourages equality and good behavior and the use of power wisely so what else was she supposed to do? Rhea recognizes that there are problems in Fodlan, but she doesn't believe she can do more than she already has to fix them and believes Sothis is the only one who can (& since Byleth becomes Sothis-like, she's right).
I think Rhea is an absolutely fascinating character because she is so supremely damaged and yet all of the pain and suffering that weighs on her is turned mostly inward which leads to some extremely questionable decisions but even at her worst, she’s never evil nor is she a villain. We know that she is ruthless and that any amount of violent provocation will be met with an extreme response, but we also know that she can be very selfless and kind and that she values peace and order above all else (and that's not always a good thing). And that is why parts of her s-support are so sad because she starts to blame herself even for things that are not her fault.
The flip side of that for me is Edelgard who is also a fascinating character and who is also supremely damaged, but she takes all of her pain and suffering and turns it outward with devastating effects for the entire continent. We know that she is extremely arrogant and values her own ideals above all else including the lives of innocent people and she never changes no matter what route you take in the game. She never acknowledges the failings in her plans or that there were other ways to achieve even better results and she never truly takes blame for what she has done or set in motion. She's a liar and manipulator on a scale even higher than Rhea at her worst and she never changes! The lack of change and self-doubt added to her fascism is why I do consider her a villain, even when playing her own route I kept thinking we're the baddies.
I agree with most of this. Both of them are fascinating because they are so damaged and deal with that in different, extreme ways. Morally ambiguous characters usually spark debate, which is a good thing. People should always question and talk about morality and motives. Edelgard and Rhea mostly feel like genuine people who have gone through terrible things and are just trying to cope while also change society to what they think is best (Edel) or keep things mostly peaceful (Rhea).
If I really think on it, Edelgard strikes me as someone who is desperately trying to reach the light at the end of a dark tunnel. After losing her ten siblings to experimentation by TWSITD and suffering ill-effects from that, she wants to make the continent a better place where things like that never happen to anyone else. Problem is, she allies with the people who did that to her (even if she was planning on betraying them later), starts a world war without regard to people trampled along the way, and doesn't accept any other alternative. Why? It's hinted that she has a shortened lifespan like Lysithea, so she wants her change now. That leads to making risky, rash, and immoral decisions no matter the route (turning into a monster in BL is a prime example along with lying about the missile strike in BE). It's really sad. She keeps running to that light while slipping in puddles of her own making.
I honestly think 3H is one of the best FE games because of the quality of the characters and world building. I'm constantly being blown away by the details every time I pick up the game.

While a small part of me is worried that she won't be the Lord per se, I still think she'll be playable in the DLC. Fingers crossed!
I would love that. Fingers crossed indeed.
40 minutes ago, Nihilem said:I always liked the concept of manakete characters and was quite sad that our playable manakets cannot turn into dragons....
Lorewise you could nerf them by saying that they cannot constantly stay in their dragon form (because of corruption etc) and gameplaywise it could be implemented by replacing the strategem option. So that you have to choose between having a goon squat with you or turning into a dragon for one round (maybe 2-3 charges). Then also give that abillity to Seteth and Flayn and I am happy.
That's a great idea. I must admit I was bummed that Seteth and Flayn never showed their dragon forms and Rhea's was only in cutscenes or as a boss. They could make it like the Tellius games (which unfortunately I have not gotten to play yet) where there's a meter that shows how long they can stay transformed before reverting to their human selves. It would add some more strategy to the game since you'd have to decide when to transform them and how to utilize their power before they turn back.
-
I like the route overall. Most of the scenes fit it more than GD. But... I wanted Rhea to be the playable Lord character. That's the main thing I wish was changed!

- Lorenz has the most impressive penmanship but is always going far over the maximum word count suggestion no matter how much you tell him to reign it in.
- Linhardt's papers are brilliant but are always within ten words of the minimum word count.
-
Caspar doodles stick figures fighting in the margins
- Raphael does the same but its various meat dishes fighting.
-
Edelgard's papers make many good points but follow no thesis statement so it's more like a rant.
- Ferdinand sneaks a peak at Edelgard's subject matter and always argues the opposite.
- Claude's papers could use a more formal style, since he composes as if he's in casual conversation.
- Lysithea's papers are excellent. But she got visibly shaken the day you didn't give her a Good Job! stamp and she's been sending you rewrites of that paper ever since.
-
Felix's subject matter is so edgy you feel the need to call his parents.
- Marianne is the same but it's less edge and more "crawling in my skin"
I'm using these now 😛 Adding on, I feel Hubert also writes very edgy stuff. All three Lords have beautiful handwriting that befits their status. Both Byleths write neatly but without flourish. Caspar, Raphael, and Leonie have messy handwriting. For non-students, both Seteth and Rhea have gorgeous handwriting, both in standard and cursive. Flayn has good cursive but her standard is lacking. Ignatz adds artistic flourishes to his letters, though they are still legible.

1. While I like orchestral, the electronic elements added something new and fresh. i certainly can't fault IS and Nintendo for doing it. Most of the OST is wonderful, if a little repetitive as others have said.
2. Oh, there are a lot of tracks I like. Blues Skies and a Battle, The Spirit Dais, Guardian of Starlight (one of Rhea's themes), Shambhala, all three final map/boss themes, Between Heaven and Earth, Chasing Daybreak (this is definitely one of my faves. It really fits best on Dimitri's route, at least to me), Roar of Dominion, Song of the Nabateans, As Swift as Wind, As Fierce as Fire, Dwellings of the Ancient Gods (so mysterious and cool!!), all three monastery themes... Let's just say most.
3. Haven't beaten any of the routes completely yet (I have a busy college life) but after hearing them on YouTube... I think my favorite final map/boss theme is A Funeral of Flowers. It's so tragic and gorgeous. I like God Shattering Star and The Apex of the World as well. All three are amazing in their own ways.
4. While it's all right, I think Tearing Through Heaven got a little too repetitive for me.
5. Overall I think the OST is good, but I'm not sure if it's my absolute favorite ever. There are so many good tracks in every other game... Really, you can't go wrong with most FE music.
7 hours ago, Timlugia said:Song of Nabatean is really interesting too, but too short at the current form. Consider it's tied into the story, maybe there will be a longer version in DLC.
Yes! I would like a longer version with more lyrics. I also want to just say that Cherami Leigh's voice is beautiful and has made me appreciate her and Rhea so much more. Move over Azura, I have a new favorite singer.
-
Oh, definitely. I just wonder what the real reason for the change was. If they really thought people wanted less details in the supports and other non-plot dialogue, I'm pretty impressed...in a negative way. Most people enjoy the supports because they provide extra insight on the characters: their backgrounds, their likes and dislikes, their life experiences... Watering them down like this is quite silly.

One thing I wanted to point out is that many people claimed that Silver Snow is basically status quo ending, but that's clearly not true if people paid attention in the conversation
Just right after Rhea being rescued, Seteth demands that the people needs to know the truth of everything: the truth about crests, church and the dragons, which Rhea agrees. Then you fought Rhea in her dragon form in front of the church, likely witness by everyone there, students, soldiers, merchants, civilians... so that regardlessm Rhea's true identity has been known by the people as well.
Even though Byleth took over the church while Rhea remains archbishop (assume you S supports her), it's not the same church anymore. All the lies and secrets have now been laid bare in the public. Hence probably why ending texts states Byleth, Seteth and Rhea were reforming the church.
Yes. All of the routes have some sort of change that leads to a golden age. That's why I'm honestly in the camp that none of the main characters are "right" or "wrong" and that applying such simple terms to any of them devalues their intentions and characterizations.
I have plenty of criticisms for both Edelgard and Rhea but their flaws add to what makes them good characters IMO. Their losses fuel their goals and that makes for some good storytelling. Having either of them fit into perfect "hero" or "villain" roles would be a waste. Rhea even admits that she hasn't been doing as well as she wanted and is perfectly content in handing over her authority to the player character. She outright states at one point that she's a proxy leader for Sothis, who she says could rule much better. Well, failing to get Sothis back, she entrusts the monastery to you during the battle for the school on non-Crimson Flower routes and then at the end of Azure Moon (completely giving over her authority to the Avatar) and Silver Snow (to an extent, like you said).

It does dampen the impact a bit. Sure, being tied to a chair is horrible regardless, but the idea that she was tied there all day, was forced to be quiet in all that time, and that it was to train her to be submissive to the desires of a husband gave some context to her situation. It wasn't this completely psychotic idea to make her just sit there to be a "good wife", it was an influence of societal standards to make her into the kind of wife who'd never challenge her husband's wishes. With this edited dialogue, it just makes her father seem crazy, as opposed to crazed by the desire to expand his noble house's influence through his daughter's marriage and going to great lengths to ensure she wouldn't ruin such a status.
These are my thoughts exactly! Thank you. It's the fact that her father abused her this way to mold her into a obedient wife just so he could have higher status that really hammered in Bernie's situation and how terrible her home life was. It's the reason she's so mentally messed and felt quite realistic. The new support keeps some of that, but not enough for that kind of context. The word "submissive" really spoke volumes in the original support by adding societal connotations to it, as women in the time period FE emulates really were treated terribly while being forced to adhere to strict standards of obedient behavior. It (hopefully) made the reader realize just how horrible Bernadetta's father is.
Now I'm not sure if this was censorship or not, but either way, I still disagree with the decision to change it to this.

Whatever indicated to them that people weren't able to concentrate on the main story? Who the hell is the man talking about when he says "more casual players"? Because I sure as hell don't remember any of the casual fans I know complaining about how the game focuses on character relationships. In fact, people often tout the characters as one of the biggest, if not the biggest appeal of the series. It's why people caused such a big stink over the roster of Fire Emblem Warriors. Saying that people don't like the characters in Fire Emblem is like saying people don't like the ability to jump in Mario games.
Agreed. I play on casual and quite like character interactions. This change lessens the impact of Bernadetta's abuse IMO. A small change, but ultimately a bad move. I'm not a fan of it.

That's pretty much my thoughts as well. I just chose to focus on Rhea since she tends to get a lot of flak for her goal. Ultimately, I think her goal is admirable and understandable, but her lack of attention towards the present is problematic.
It's honestly hard for me to say which one is more humane though. War is a horrific experience so I can't really get behind Edelgard because of that.
Agreed. In talks like these I see Rhea and Edelgard get flak for things that are similar. I don't think either of them have the moral high ground, but I do empathize with Rhea more because she's lost more: most of her species. She's desperate to return to happier days and honestly, can't blame her for that. I would've lost my mind if I came home to find my family and species dead and their bodies mutilated to make weapons of mass destruction.

Long post may be long, but great post is still great. Thank you so much!
I love your dissection of Rhea especially - you really can't help but sympathise with her once you realise what she's been through and in Silver Snow she even starts to blame herself for the war. And it's only once you see it written out that it really hits you that Rhea watched Edelgard try to steal, you know, the remains of her family. Of course she overreacts!
Honestly, I love the moral dichotomy in this story and that it prompts analyses like this. Thanks again for the write up and for liking this thread!
Thanks! This game has so many good points that it's really one of the better FE games. I'm quite addicted to it. Most of the characters in general are well written and feel like real people. That's what I like to see in a game!

Okay, I voted "meant well" for both. They have clear flaws, but overall I think neither is outright evil or terrible. I like that they have similarities (tragic backstory, trying to fix what went wrong) and don't even realize it. It honestly seems to me that if they had both sat down and talked about it, there might not have been a war. Game implies that if Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude could have talked it out, things would've been fine. I think the same goes for Rhea: she only gets angry when violence is used against the church and its followers. She was content to let Lord Lonato Gaspard hate her; it was only when he gathered up a militia with the intent of fighting that she decided to take action.
Edelgard: She means well. Good grief, she means well. But starting a world war to change society (and unite everything under her, clear Imperialism) is NOT the way to go about it. As someone above pointed out, her current generation has several nobles who hate the system (Sylvain, Mercedes, Lysithea, most likely Marianne) and even Dimitri and Claude don't find it great. She could have started a more peaceful segue into treating people without Crests as equal. And let's face it. Edelgard was getting a lot of her info from TWSITD, the people who actually did all the experiments on her family and Lystihea's. I seriously can't condone her working with them, the people who caused her tragedy in the first place, all out of some attempt to "reform" society. If you pick any route other than Crimson Flower, the continent still reaches a Golden Age of Reform. Her way is not the only way and certainly not the best.
I love her as a character. I find the moral gray in this game fantastic. But I just can't agree with her actions.
Rhea: Since the thread has "spoilers" in the very title, I will not hide info. Rhea (who is actually Seiros) witnessed the near genocide of her entire species and family, which was caused by TWSITD manipulating the bandit Nemesis and his crew into killing them. They made powerful weapons out of the bones and hearts of her race, clear disrespect to the dead and horrifying to consider. I think ANYONE would snap in this situation. She goes to war and wins, then obscures what really happened. Why? She did not want a repeat of it. By labeling the bandits "heroes" and the Crests as good things, it would prevent humans from realizing the awful truth and possibly killing/discriminating against the descendants of the bandits. By keeping high-tech weapons away from Fodlan, Rhea was keeping humans from nuking each other.
Did her actions create an oppressive caste system? Yes. But she was trying her best to keep the peace instead of annihilating humanity in revenge for what they did to her species (she and her remaining family probably could have wiped out humans if they wanted to). She is actually pretty reasonable: she hires knights who don't even worship her Mother (Real Life popes would NOT be as tolerant and would not do this), she tries to keep the school equal (Seteth says they make sure not to discriminate based on social status but some nobles throw fits and want dorms on the second floor), she takes in orphans like Cyril and the people of Remire Village after the tragedy, and she only resorts to violence when the other side starts it.
Some may think she overreacts in the Holy Tomb, but let's think about it. The Monastery had a string of incidents involving the Flame Emperor (the bandit attack, the attempt to steal from Seiros's coffin, etc), Flayn (her niece) was kidnapped to have her blood harvested, Remire Village was attacked by TWSITD for fun, her Knight Captain was murdered, and then the Flame Emperor (Edelgard) invades the tomb to steal Crest Stones...the remains of Rhea's dead species/family. Of course she would snap. And if you side with someone who's willing to desecrate the graves of genocide victims and ally with TWSITD, of course Rhea would view Byleth in a very negative light and vow to kill them.
Wow, long post is long. But anyway, I love both of these characters. Do I agree with every action? NO. Both have clear flaws and have done terrible things, but ultimately they had good intentions. Thank you, Three Houses, for giving us characters like these so we can debate. They're excellently written for the most part.

Since she can S Support all three lords, while M!Byleth can only S support Edelgard since IS said f**k mlm rights by not making Claude and Dimitri bi options. F!Byleth can also S support Dorothea and Mercedes. It's hard to count Rhea and Sothis, I mean, I highly doubt any players S support Rhea or Sothis as F!Byleth?
Yeah, it's pretty unfair. As a woman, I'm pretty amused that I can romance all the main characters, but why can't male players do the same? As for counting Rhea, I am planning on S-supporting her when I get to the Church Route and I've noticed that there are more F!Avatar/Rhea shippers on AO3 than M!Avatar/Rhea. That's just one fanfic site, but it also seems that F!Avatar/Edelgard is more popular as well.
