tipperthescales Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Not on PC ATM so I'll update this when I get a chance later on. Major takeaways - Wolves confirmed. Voiced Byleth in cutscenes. A teatime substitute. Hi Shamir and Seteth (I guess Saint mode Rhea too). Demo out now, play up to Chapter 4 of each of the three routes - progress carries over to main game. ~~~ I know that there are preview videos out there as well, feel free to post them.

Fabulously Olivier Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Busy with work, will watch during lunch. So hyped. ASHEN WOLVES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanguard333 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I can honestly say that I was not expecting the Ashen Wolves to be playable in the base game. The demo being available now is neat. I'd probably try it, but I'm busy with other games; ironically, I'm still trying to complete my first Azure Moon playthrough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipperthescales Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 A very interesting situation during the God is a Geek preview: Spoiler Both a Kronya and Monica appear, as separate characters?! Also with regards to the Kingdom: Spoiler It's a power struggle between Rufus (who appears to be garnering favour from the Western lords) and House Fraldarius... That's of course not to say that Cornelia may be pulling strings as well, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose482 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I haven't seen enough people talk about how Byleth just spoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Flash Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Shez`s "super form" looks like something out of a shounen anime and I love it. Also, Byleth talks now! Curious to see if this affects their perception in the community in anyway. Either way, it will be nice to hear Zach Alliguar and Jeanne Tirado do more than recite grunts and occasional battle-cries. Got a massive chuckle out of seeing that there will be another tea-time esque event. Surprised to see the Ashen Wolves available in the game at base. Also, Chruch characters, finally! Still don`t know if they are playable, but glad to see them here. Edited June 8, 2022 by Metal Flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicCanonBalls Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 This really hyped me up. Looks like a day 1 purchase and avoiding-spoiler worthy kind of game to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulously Olivier Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 A lot of preview articles also went out. I guess the embargo dropped. It looks like it's very much a game for existing fans, abridging the pre-war story, then going into new story. It assumes you know the basic lore of Fodlan and that is probably for the best.

TheCraigadile Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Okay I’m going to work rn so don’t have time to go in depth into my thoughts but I’m summary: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH OH MY GOD IM SO HYPED RIGHT NOW Wolves appearing audibly made me cheer which was a shock, and everything just looked so hype. I don’t have time to analyse the trailer but holy crap am I hyped. I think the game is actually gonna surpass my expectations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Ah so the demo released in my vacation after all. Oh well. Seems we saw a glimpse of Rufus. That should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulously Olivier Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Words really can't express how Hapi I am to see the wolves. And they're redesigned!? Wow. Edited June 8, 2022 by Fabulously Olivier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ycine Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 The progress will carry over to the main game? And we get to play up to Chapter 4 for each routes? Ashen Wolves are in (base game)?! Damn. That's too good. Will try it out this week-end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azurixx Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 OH MY GOODNESS WHAT A WAY TO WAKE UP THIS MORNING! Ashen Wolves? Byleth actually speaking? Tea parties? Playable demo where we get to play EACH route? Really glad I had lowered my expectations this week, 'cause this was an amazing surprise. Peace out guys, gonna start downloading that chunky 7 GB demo and start sink into some gameplay right away! Today is a good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulously Olivier Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Very meaty demo by Warriors standards. Hints at great confidence in their product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Use the Falchion Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I have so much to say but I'm barely into the demo! I adored the new intro movie, Byleth speaking was great, and Shez's story is more believable than I thought at first glance. I'm still choosing Blue Lions for my first runthrough, at least up until the demo ends. But I'm so curious about that denial offer! Does that start a fourth path? Has anyone tried it yet?

zuibangde Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Have to sleep as I have work tomorrow but just reached the first mission after you choose your house. Seems like there are no S supports in this game (at least with the students) as the maximum support is A. However, not sure if they decided to keep the idea of how A supports can also lead to paired endings. Another weird thing is that Felix and Mercedes only have a C support (no B and A). I believe they're the only pair in Blue Lions to only have one support conversation. Edit: Seems like although some pairs have multiple support levels, there is still only 1 conversation to be had between them. (i.e Dedue and Ingrid's support levels go up to A but it seems like the only support level with a conversation is A).

LoneStar Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I played the prologue of the game so far, and I'm liking it. Byleth being this big boss in the beginning was daunting. She was just taking zero damage from that Warrior strike thing. My meetings for work are starting so I'll have to play more later. Also Nintendo got us Fire Emblem fans with the Three Hopes bait then opened the Xenoblade special edition preorders a few minutes later. Time for Waiting Room Hell.....

wissenschaft Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I can't expressed how HYPED I AM FOR THIS GAME. I got the demo downloading right now, I'll be able to play latter tonight when I get off of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what I expected would happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly probably for the best. Supports can really bog down the pace, and fewer conversations means higher quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, Dimitri and Felix for example already have an in-depth support chain in Three Houses. What more can you really do with them for another in Three Hopes.

Florete Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Never cared for any of the Wolves myself, but it's nice that they won't be DLC twice. I'll try the demo out, though I won't be playing the game at launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally agreed, but after seeing 3 of the four first Azure Gleam chapters, my answer is now "a LOT." Well, for some anyways. Dimitri and Felix's entire relationship is different this time around due to the events of the prologue. But I feel like I need to see more of the game before I can say that's the case for sure.

Anomalocaris Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I'm slightly disappointed that, going by the trailer, the Ashen Wolves seem to be basic classes (Assassin, Brawler, Gremory, Dark Knight) instead of their DLC classes, especially War Monk and Dark Flier, but I'm just happy to see them make it in at all.
