Owain Dark Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 We knew it all along, but Nintendo UK confirms, that the church is evil, via a sponsored advertisement. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=333186257395421&id=145686449478737 What do you all think?

Ivy Wife Supremacy Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Not surprised probably later in the game when this will occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SushiCat Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 It's not really a surprise at this point, I think pretty much everyone had guessed as much That said, I wonder if this reveal was done on purpose (perhaps because some new info is coming) or if it was a slip-up.

PrincessAlyson Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Wow, what a surprise. Okay, sarcasm over. But really, we were all expecting it. I was hoping they'd do something else because "church is the antagonist" plot is not even a twist anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a slip up, since no other Nintendo Chanel gave word on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Man, they had one job XD But I think it's not meant to be a huge plot-twist. I mean, there are only 4 crucial powers on the continent that we know of--and at least one of them has to be the enemy. I suppose there are the bordering nations as well, but they haven't really properly mentioned them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinar87 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Seems exciting! Though I'd like to know what thanibomb said about all this, to see whether the "leak" is more/less credible. Edited May 22, 2019 by Dinar87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invaders from another continent like the Valm arc from Awakening would've been a cool twist. But yeah, i expected the church to evil.

Fabulously Olivier Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I'm happy with this. I got what I wanted. But I'm laughing at Nintendo of UK dropping the ball that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thane Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Still no solid confirmation of what exactly the choice of house will entail. While I think it'll only change the starting roster and a few lines, it'd be interesting to know more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDreamReturns Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Let’s at least hope the church has a motivation beyond just being evil control freaks......please IntSys? Edited May 22, 2019 by TheDreamReturns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed no way they lock us out from all the major mechanics in the game to one area in case we do leave at one point.

User name Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 So do we think that the church is the Big bad? Or maybe they are mid-boss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DanMan Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 And we continue to be even more obvious than Pokemon was with the Aether Foundation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlight Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) The church is connected to the academy. Maybe it's just a faction of the church that's evil and we have the good guys. But if Rhea and the rest are evil then IS/Nintendo aren't the best at keeping the plot obscure in trailers.

Rose482 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) I doubt the church will be the only "evil group" in this game, becasue it would be too easy tbh. I know I said this before, but something HAS to go down looking at how the academy and the church are at the same place. I just don't see how we will stay in the same spot with them the whole game if they were the only bad people in FE16, so something more will go down, I'm like sure of this.

Thane Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 This has been expected since the first trailer. We even see church members fighting our party in it. The main questions remain unanswered: what exactly do they do/want and why, and does this mean they're all bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlight Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Maybe this is just some kind of bait-and-switch. They're trying to set the church up as the antagonists, but it's really someone else.

Your students ally with you to protect you bcs you're their close friend and mentor. My prediction Edited May 22, 2019 by redlight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it would be so easy to set up the church as the bad guys, while hiding the TRUE evil in this game for the players to figure out once they play it for themselves.
