    Regarding Mercedes and the Death Knight,  if you do complete her post-timeskip paralogue with Caspar, that subplot is resolved, more or less. They have unique battle dialogue that I think you can only get if you do the paralogue along with a small conversation post-battle after you win at the fort.  

    yeah i found this out post time skip and was like damnit lol.

    I honestly didn't like the Blue Lions path in general. Dimitri's development was really predictable. He was much better off as a villain and the ending wasn't satisfying. Anyways, it appears that the most of your questions will be answered in the other routes and Rhea supports. I've finished BE and those questions weren't answered as well, so there isn't a "correct" route to start.

    i really like dimitri personally and think his development is great. the fact that those routes dont even acknowledge major plot points irritates me beyond words lol. How can you have big events and turning points and then never mention them again? just feels really poorly written.

    The Black Eagles and Blue Lions paths are more focused on the war. The Golden Deer and Church paths are more concerned with discovering the true history of the Church of Seiros, the crests and Hero Relics, and Those Who Slither in the Dark, with each route focusing on slightly different information. Namely,

    The Golden Deer Route focuses on Nemesis and his origins, the true purpose and identity of those who Slither, and Fodlan’s relationship to the world at large. The church path focuses more on the identity and motivations of Seiros and Rhea, and the story of Byleth’s origins. There is significant overlap between the two routes, however.

     

    This is really good information. It sounds like those will be my favorite routes then because pre time skip literally hypes/ hints at all these ideas about the church and about the group that slither in dark not to mention they kill jeralt. That is what i wanted to see unravel. Finding the truth out about this secret organization and about Rhes background and as well as sothis, and assuming seteth and Flayn are also the same as rhea them as well.

    None of the routes really resolve every hanging plot thread, which I think reflects a deliberate attempt to avoid one definitive ending that makes the other routes meaningless (which I think that’s a good thing as it makes you play all of them to understand everything that’s going on). That being said,

    You are correct that Those who Slither in the Dark eventually take center stage in the Golden Deer Route, and if you’re curious about what they’re up to, I highly recommend playing that Route next.

     

    Awesome these are great things to hear. I was just really annoyed with the lack of acknowledgement for these major plot points. To me there is a difference between making that point more relevant in one route then the other then voiding its entire existence in another.  i am unsure of what i care about the most right now but im glad the other routes touch on them.

    Most of your answers are actually in Byleth/church path, especially if you S support Rhea in the end. It also deals TWSITD in the end

    The game really wants you to play every route to learn the full picture of the world.

    huh its weird that you have to s support rhea to find out a truth that is hinted at throughout the entire pre time skip but nonetheless i will be doing that next route. I also am curious what happens when you S support sothis because she also doesnt get touched on after the time skip even if they "became one".

  3. So i completed the blue lion route after 71 hours. I loved it a lot and i think they have the best characters. Up until the ending great story even though you have to kill classmates, its war right? 

     

    Overall the Ending left me extremely unsatisfied. I am a competitionist so i like to do/get everything possible so i missed Mercedes paralogue and Shamir and Alois's. Whether or not they are good is besides the point its all about the content. Back to the ending, yes i believe the other 3 routes will answer my questions hopefully but my issue is the fact they do not even RECOGNIZE these plot points:

    Flayn, Seteth, and Rheas backstories (Manaketes assuming)

    Sothis and why Rhea put her inside you.

    Jeritza (who i believe is the death knight and Mercedes brother that got separated from after their fathers death)what happened to him? never acknowledged ever again in the route. maybe the paralogue i missed because you HAVE to have Caspar recruited will answer this one but this is extremely easy to miss sadly for a first run with no guides 😞

    and finally Thales. He is the man that murders your father and we literally do not hear or see anything from him after that one scene (ive heard he is in golden deer route more) not to mention in the final chapter oath of a dagger (22) Slither in the dark members are in the chapter but once you kill this guy named Myson, they all flee the battlefield saying "we cannot risk the goal! retreat!" which never gets touched on again either. After the big battle i thought the game would go on to try and stop those that slither in dark but apparently rhea is saved and you become archbishop and Dmitri makes fodlan peaceful.

     

    So yeah the route left me with so many unanswered questions that i am assuming/hoping the other routes will address because right now i feel as though i haven't actually "beat" the game. Maybe Blue lions was the wrong route to start. Even though i am complaining i really did love the route i just hate not having all the plot points filled in, especially these really important ones. 

  4. The story in this game is bad so dont base your choice on that. Either go off characters or do revelations so you basically get everyone. Conquest is a little harder then brithright as well so depending how long youve played FE id go birthright to start. 

    If you really plan on doing all 3 playthroughs i would do it like this

    Birthright then Conquest and then Revelations. 

  5. I mean if they have that attitude they have probably only played the newer games like awakening, fates and heroes because the series isn't all about that at all. its also partly the communities fault for sexualizing it to much. Three houses so far from what ive seen has died down a bit in that area while still letting fans interact with there favorite character etc. 

  6. Feel free to change where this should be just couldn't see a better option.

     

    Now i haven't really seen a post like this before so i just wanted to say THANK YOU and how much i appreciate this website. Always up to date with such in depth explanations and theories and the community posts are a lot of fun to read. As a huge fan of fire emblem its a great place for me to discuss what i love with others. 

     

    Again just wanted to thank all the effort you guys and girls have done over the years. it's much appreciated and here is to many more years!

  7. I like larger character rosters cause it makes more playthroughs fun and worthwhile. discovering new characters each time. I think and hope that the adults will be recruitable post time skip which would really help otherwise could get bland. if they do it right though and these characters have great depth to them then my  opinion could for sure change. i thought SOVs line up was to small and still do so we shall see.

  8. I would like to have at least one of all the classes. Im going blue lions so without looking into stats and details yet i think it will go like this

    Blue Lions:

    Dimitri - Lord

    Dedue - Brigand/Knight

    Felix - Mercenary

    Mercedes - Priest

    Ashe - Archer/Brawler

    Annete - Mage

    Sylvain - Cavalier

    Ingrid - Pegasus Knight

    Black Eagles:

    Edelgard - Lord

    Hubert - Dark Mage

    Dorothea - Pegasus Knight/Archer/Priest

    Ferdinand - Cavalier

    Bernadetta - Mage

    Caspar - Brigand/Brawler

    Petra - Mercenary

    Linhardt - Archer/Thief

    Golden Deer:

    Claude - Lord

    Lorenz - Archer

    Hilda - Pegasus knight/brigand

    Lysthiea - Mage

    Raphael - Knight/Brigand

    Ignatz - Cavalier

    Marienne - Priest 

    Leonie - Thief/Mercenary

     

    This isnt set in stone just my first glimpse at the characters.

    Another big thing is that recruiting students will have its own requirements. They showed Lorenz and Byleth needed to be good in certain stats for him to come over.

    Given the time limit of the school year, the player will unlikely be able to cover all the skills to recruit every member outside of their chosen house. Plus, as some noted, some characters like Dedue would likely be too committed to their lords to change.

    yeah that does make sense. i just hope there is some worth paralogue/stroy wise benfit for going out of your way to recruit outside of house otherwise ill probably just focus on the house i chose.
