Back to questions: Gronder 2: I know when you beat Edelgard, she lights the central hill on fire. Which means if for some reason you walked past Bernie without killing her, she gets caught in the fire. Does she actually react in that event? I would imagine IS assumed people would take Bernie out first (not only is she much closer to your starting position, but she stays parked on a turret, pelting you all the way while you approach Edelgard), and didn't make a reaction, but I'm curious.

Given some of the asinine garbage I've seen you spew in other topics arguing about the lords, you're not in a position to talk. No point in continuing this "discussion".

The only way I would call things too quiet is were during tense parts of battles, usually after engaging the boss, all talking stops. Then it's too quiet. But normally, there's plenty of chatter.

Yes, but only for Hubert.

No luck at my store. I'll just hope that the website restocks soon.

I stand corrected. I still think it's weird specifically in the context of this game, but I'll concede the point.

I fucking hate when people say this. Just because it was the last route programmed doesn't mean the idea was last minute. There was NEVER going to be a version of this game, a game where Edelgard is front and center, the character who is the subject of the game's theme song, a character who they go out of their way to make sympathetic despite being the "villain", in a series full of cliche FOR THE EVULZ villains, where you can't side with Edelgard. To think otherwise is just stupid.

This will sound weird, but...none. Why would characters switch sides just to fight the same enemy? Imagine this exchange: Ingrid: "Professor, I need to speak with you. Up until now I've been happy serving King Dimitri and fighting the empire, but now I think I should join you so that I can fight the empire." It doesn't specifically have to be Ingrid, but regardless, it just seems silly to me. In WW2 you didn't have American, British and French soldiers randomly jumping between each other's armies. Why would it be different here?

While poorly executed, you could make it work. Rhea, in the state of mind she was in at that point, would not have been fine with you disobeying her order to kill for any reason, and likely accuse you of betrayal, at which point she would reveal herself as a dragon (just like the actual version in the game), at which point you'd probably be a lot more comfortable joining Edelgard, if nothing else than out of fear for your own life. Too bad the writers didn't think of that, though.

The way she holds it in this shot: makes me think it's something similar to those folding fans that old-timey "proper" girls have.

CF Edelgard isn't truly at war with Slither until after Rhea's death, so he presumably is awakened eventually, but we don't get to see it.

Edelgard has some subtle moments where she discusses it with Byleth, but the fact that so many people were shocked by the reveal says it was either too subtle or just not enough.

I had thought that was just Tara Platt trying to make her sound noticeably older, myself, rather than any change in character. I would enjoy confirmation in either direction, though.

Out of curiosity, I feel like ClaudeXByleth is much less popular than Edeleth and Dimileth. Any idea why? Maybe I've just been looking at the wrong sites? Maybe Claude's relative lack of emotional baggage makes him less of a fixer-upper (that's a popular ship idea in any fandom)?

Yeah, that was the original filesize, so it's safe to assume that's the original source for all 4.

Found it on Danbooru. Put it on my imgur because there was a LOT of empty space to remove.

It's complicated for me. Treating Byleth as a character in his own right, yes, I ship him with Edelgard. She's clearly smitten from the minute he disarms Kostas in the prologue, and if you go CF, her crush clearly blossoms into love. But, as my avatar, I like Dorothea the best. So I basically have two completely separate AUs, one where he ends up with Edelgard and one with Dorothea. And all my other ships adjusted accordingly. Honestly, even as someone who does it, I couldn't really explain why. It's just fun. I would never go so far as to engage in shipping wars, though. That's just dumb.

I finally found a high res profile pic of Constance. She has bits of indigo in her hair. Constance=Elise CONFIRMED

You still have to equip it. He was proposing a hypothetical where Emperor would have it innately. And while you're right that just tacking on the ability to use magic and nothing else wouldn't really improve it, the class could be tailored to make it work well. It's not a question of "would IS do it" to me, I'm just talking theorycrafting. Not sure if it should be branched into a separate thread, though.

Please keep going. It's nice to see both things that can't be conveyed well in English, and ways that Treehouse did a much better job with this game than Fates (I do think they get more flak than they deserve, but they still made some weird decisions with Fates).

But it makes strategic sense at least. If she went for the Kingdom first, Claude would likely launch an attack on Edelgard's flank, basically the reverse of how AM's Deirdru chapter goes. Dimitri in CF is too busy defending the Kingdom and guarding Rhea to launch a big offensive like that.

True, I just thought Fhirdiad because they could have some blacksmith NPC be all "King Dimitri! We're all so glad you've returned to us! I'm gonna make you some custom armor to commemorate this joyous occasion!" Either one works.

I use it, but I LITERALLY ALWAYS use personal classes. At least the DLC Boots help with the movement issue. On the "no story importance" thing, Dimitri's could have had story importance, but they fucked it up. Given that High Lord's armor is almost entirely black, and Great Lord's armor is a mix of white and black, they could have been used to symbolize Dimitri in crazy-as-fuck mode and Dimitri attempting to atone for his sins. Unfortunately, they give it to him before Gronder 2. They should have given it to him after retaking Fhirdiad.

According to the support log he's a Black Eagle, but I digress. I meant it more as he's a DLC unit of a similar age to characters who did get redesigns (remember, he's Mercedes' younger brother). More to the point, I think you're better off assuming they won't have them, and possibly being pleasantly surprised, than you are assuming they will, and possibly being disappointed. Call it pessimism if you like; I consider it pragmatism.
