    Byleth and Lysithea is touching, but there's a big problem with it that you're overlooking: how did Byleth figure out a way to remove Lysithea's Crests? Linhardt and Hanneman are Crest Scholars/researchers, while Edelgard uses stolen Agarthan tech and Claude... I don't know; someone tell me how he does it, as I haven't seen their paired ending. I have seen Byleth and Lysithea's paired ending, though, and there's just no explanation. Right at the start of their S-Support, it's just, "That's it; you are healed because I am protagonist." 

    Spoiler

    At least in CF all the crest stop working meaning the burden of having two is removed restoring her lifespan, contrived yes, I haven’t don’t the other ones yet so I don’t know either

    I think RD needs a greater overall rebalancing. It's a really imbalanced, uneven, and sloppy game in so many regards. Ideally, units as straight up useless as RD Astrid would not exist.

    I just think they shouldn’t have nerfed her stats so badly in RD. An marksman with double bow is so OP compared to Astrid that it makes her special boss talk worthless as you are not gonna field her

    Close Counter for archers/snipers.

    Maybe not for mounted archers like Astrid.

    I think Astrid should get this, it would give a reason to use her over Shinon and Rolf in RD. She is boardline useless in RD

    But on the topic, getting the skill scrolls back after removing a skill(like in RD) would be something I would like to see

    Well i don't know about Caligula Effect but in Atelier Sophie's case, it's more like, the combat is like 99% the same as other Atelier games but this time, you select everyone's actions and then the turn plays out, instead of it being instant like in most turn-based RPGs. It's odd and i'll have to get used to it but it shouldn't take too long for that to happen.

    That is Caligula, but different attacks require different things like, Protagonist get a counter off and that will launch enemy. Your teammates are all set up to combo off that juggled enemy but... you whiff so everyone just stands around doing nothing since the enemy remained on the ground.... and then you have to wait for your turn Cooldown before trying again

    I can't really say anything about the game yet other than I'm gonna have to get used to the battle system.

    This is how I felt starting up Caligula Effect: Overdose, loved that game but the combat was a whole different demon

    I haven't played Three Houses yet. No spoilers but is it any good? Fates was sort of disappointing for me. Most of the characters were just watered down versions of the ones from Awakening.

    Some say yes, some say no. I thought it was good, not the best but pretty well off. Everyone has different issue with it so... take each person as you will

    For what its worth Charlotte's reasons seem to be a lot more benevolent then that of Dorothea. 

    Dorothea is a gold digger who's after the money of the people she dates. She intends to spend this money on herself. 

    Charlotte is after the money of the people that she dates. She intends to give the money away. 

    That said Dorothea has a more likable conduct. Charlotte has a temper and is quick to treat people like dirt when she can't dig for their cold. Dorothea on the other hand is quite the sweetheart despite being a gold digger.

    Sure, but Charlotte worked to get where she was, where Dorothea got the help for the opera company. Charlotte also seems to show a bit more regret when doing that to people, like when she starts rejecting Kaden’s gifts.

    Tharja is actually not a complete clone of Robin. They tweaked her moveset  a little. She uses Goetia in place of Rexaura as one difference. Can't remember the others.

    Outside of her specials, that is the only difference. Nameless charge spell-Elfire-Elwind-Thoron-Ruin-Goetia(Rexaura for Robin). I may have gotten C2 and C3 backwards, I don't often play those 2, Linde is a better Foot Mage.

    I see. I agree to some extent, but the whole issue is reliant on more factors than the RNG. For instance, I find it annoying when missing a high hit rate or an enemy hitting with a low hit rate in Shadow Dragon, but less so when compared to Fates due to Shadow Dragon handling ironmanning extremely well, so I have an easier time recovering from the loss. And I'll stop there to avoid another argument from popping up. I was just curious about your original point.

    Oh no, I know better now. It's fine, I disliked the debuff and weapon system in Fate so whiffing then to be slapped with a debuff or death just got old. especially since I play with "Any death is a game over" style. But that is my fault for playing that way

    Also, @ciphertul are you trying to say that you prefer Three Houses to Fates due to the latter having more consequences if you miss a 90% to hit when compared to the same thing happening in Three Houses? Or are you saying that you prefer Three Houses due to the reliably having higher hit rate percentages, while in Fates there's a greater variance (as in, the same character could have an 80% to hit against one enemy and a 30% against another on the same map? To some extent I agree that it is more frustrating to miss a 90% to hit in Fates do to having greater consequences and leading to nastier domino effects when compared to missing in other games, but a multitude of aspects lead to that being an issue, not just how the RNG was set up. I'm trying to understand the original point you were trying to make.

    Both but I do feel missing on Fate to be far more problematic and harder to recover from it, but I'll stop there... don't to cause an issue again.

    You should at least give Dorothea a chance, not trying to force you to like a character or anything, but she actually has a pretty good reason as to why she dresses like she does. Some spoilers below, if you don't mind them.

      Reveal hidden contents

    Dorothea grew up as a orphan that had to sing to survive she grew up dirty and hungry and had to bathe in lakes. Nobles instead of taking pity on her instead laughed at her and bullied her because she was a poor dirty lonely kid. However because of her talent she was picked up by the Opera and quickly became a celebrity and nobles began to adore her and even give her expensive gifts. Dorothea feels the need to dress hrm...with a provoking sense of style because she's "learned" that she feels that she needs to marry a wealthy noble to live and so any possible children can live too. Dorothea hates Nobles, despises them, actually, but she feels like she needs to sacrifice some happiness to live. 

    I just, recommend giving her at least a chance.

    Some like you may find that understandable, others may not. To me, those are pretty bad reasons. Kinda reminds me of Charlotte and well I find her reason far better then Dorothea's.

    But again love her or hate her, each person has their own reasons

    …Maybe she'll grow on you if you give her a chance? Intentionally killing her is a bit... much?

    Everyone has their preference on characters, so if that is how they use them that's fine. I don't care much from Dorothea, but I'll at least keep her alive(if playing SS/CF).

    Don't take it to heart.
