So do Hapi and Constance just not have relics? 

Aren't the crest stones that'd be in theirs in the Dark Sword of the Creator? I mean, still possible those'd be fakes (what with how Aymr clearly has either an artificial or duplicate of Maurice's crest, what with Blutgang being in Maurice), but it seems like TWSITD might've just kept and used those for their backup plan (or broken them down for parts later).

Got my first real 3H game over in Ch. 3. Bah, really not a fan of chapter 3. If you're going to nerf our resources compared to the main game then don't put Kaga level troll gameplay plot twists in a level.

The lever being completely RNG would be fine if there were no spawning in reinforcements but as it stands not one of my units could even survive a "Fake RNG lever" which makes this such a troll move. 

Yeah I'm going from Hard to normal since I've heard people say similar things about other maps.

Spoiler

Oh, hell, is it really total RNG? That's... painful, but kinda nice? I used a Divine Pulse each time I pulled the wrong one, and it was the third one, so I just figured there was some subtle funneling or something going on to make me go checking from left to right.

After you killed the beast, Rhea said Stiri's soul could finally be at peace, making me further believe that Stiri was probably alive, and the monster was at least part of her.

Ironically, this is also the same location in Silver Snow ending but with Rhea.

 

Spoiler

It makes sense that she would be, or at least be alive enough to not just bury. Sitri fits in the realm of "maybe Nabatean", I can see Rhea leaving her to dragonsleep in case she'd be able to wake up again. Byleth was able to, after all, and Rhea seemed a lot fonder of Sitri than the main game left me thinking. I could see her hoping her daughter would one day awaken, even if it was never likely...

Makes me think, though, that the Chalice almost certainly wasn't made to restore Sothis. Instead, I'd wager that it's something she made and used to create the Nabateans in the first place. (Also, as an item the Chalice is... very good. Immunity to any effective damage types is nice and all, but Distant Counter on whoever equips it? No more needing retribution gambits to cheese Hegemon Edelgard, I guess.)

 

[Fire Emblem Three Houses: Ideas for a "Revelations" route]

I think that Three Houses could do an excellent job with a "unified" route of some kind. A chance to go into depth with TWSITD as antagonists in a way that's lacking in every other route, justification from the Divine Pulse for Byleth making the different choices necessary (rather than just... doing it, for whatever reason, a la Fates and even Radiant Dawn), and a good opportunity to get characters interacting that we don't normally see interact much (one of the reasons I'm excited for Cindered Shadows, honestly, is maybe seeing the Lords interact more than they do in-game).

They also shouldn't make it, specifically because of how bad Revelations was. Three Houses seems to be an attempt to fix Fates' mistakes in storytelling, with multiple routes and fighting people who otherwise could be your allies, and after Revelations that needs to be left to stand on its own, I think. Even though it could be done and done well, and 3H could get away with it in a vacuum, it's not a game released in a vacuum.
