#Fireemblems24

[randomnameless]

Yay!

The beginning of the, uh... Well.

I don't even understand what Almyra was supposed to be, in the devs's mind, like, it's basically barbarian land, but also, Nader can ask the King to please sign this paper and don't think too much about it - and it actually works so their entire navy is deployed on a foreign front ?

I wonder what would have happened, in a potential AU, if Adrestia used Claude and the Allian- Federation to wage war on Faerghus, while Edel actually uses this opportunity to target the now defenseless Almyra (iirc when Shahid died, he mounted one of the biggest invasions in history?).

Too bad that's not the story they wanted to tell....

So those Houses that wanted to defect to the Kingdom didn’t because Claude’s battle was that bloody in that fire map.

Remember who terminated a house who also wanted to defect when they disagreed with the "regime"?

That's right, our good friend Ionius! GW!Claude is basically ripping a page out of Edel's - disliked by everyone - dad!

He truly became Adrestian /s

So, let me make sure I have this right. Mr. I Want to End Prejudice Between Cultures just provoked Sreng into attacking the Kingdom so Edelgard can take it over because Rhea is the reason for everything bad. Did I get that right?

Hm,

Iirc, he more or less told Sreng he was too going to attack the Kingdom, more or less telling them Dimitri is busy figting the Empire on another front.

But Sreng apparently attacked before Claude could make his move (or was it calculated to send them as fodder), and here goes.

Never forget though, Rhea BaD.

CLAUDE & HOLST A SUPPORT

Oh Naga.

It’s also hysterical to hear Claude talk about wanting to improve foreign relations while instigating a war between two cultures.

Casual reminder that Claude here is talking to Holst, the Head (or is his dad?) of House Goneril, the only House in Fodlan that keeps slaves, I mean, welcomes Almyra children to their abode, asks them to do gruelling work for them, treat them like trash and feeds them once per month.

FE16 didn't tackle this issue because no one gives a fuck about Cyril I guess - especially not Claude in the Cyril'n'Hilda paralogue - but if I could have thought it was a grievous oversight in FE16, given the angle Nopes approaches this issue...

You can really make a point that Claude is talking about "improving foreign relationships!" with the slave owners, without giving three figs about said slaves, or, and worse, it's meant to be a tragicomedy, like Lysithea's support with Edel in CF.

I was half wondering if Holst's beef against Rhea and the CoS couldn't be partly fueled by the fact Rhea "stole House Goneril's property" when she took Cyril in Garreg Mach...

House Goneril GoOd and will promote foreign relationships - once they free their slaves I guess? Or at least feed them? - with Almyra - who was depicted in FE16 as barbarians who raid for funsies, and in this game, as people who pillage and rampage for the same funsies...

Rhea BaD? Rhea BaD. Church BaD.

Hilda’s cleaning, and Linhardt’s honestly upset that he’s lost a fellow lazy person. Hilda claims she never pushes work on people. That, is a lie.

I know I'm beating a reanimated horse here, but after learning House Goneril has child "servants who do all the hard work and eat every blue moon", Hilda's trope of being "lazy" or pushing her work on people is really... off-putting, and that is to put it kindly.

But Cyril isn't playable in Nopes, so we can stop caring about him! Yay?

Oh, joy, Nadar wants to plunder Faerghus. I can see why Fodlan is so evil for not wanting to let them do what they will. GW really had a chance here to finally do something interesting with Almyra. It even marketed itself as a route that WOULD. But instead it’s just doubled-down on Almyra being a one-note lawless place full of barbarians. At least we have Brigid and Duscur so the only brown country isn’t some racist stereotype. Since it’s only 1 of 3, it’s not AS bad of a look.

What I find even more ridiculous is how this route can basically be interpretated as Claude thinking Fodlan isn't "Almyran" enough, so he will tear down Fodlan and its "oudated" customs like chivalry and whatever "be nice to each other" Rhea preaches to make way for more "bringing souvenirs" tours or rampages.

And the fact Lorenz plays for laughs the "tut-tut Nader, we've said no pillaging, right?" when Holst and House Goneril, who had been fighting against Almyrans for centuries can't even add some "and you really want us to side with people like them??", to make some of their prejudice be based on "real" actions, is even more insulting.

What is even the story they wanted to tell here? Rhea is evil because Almyrans are barbarians and Faerghus people are just trying to protect their lands?

That’s right guys. Margrave Gautier died defending his king, his country, his home, and most importantly one of his fucking best friends from an asshole invader. But it’s CULTURE’S fault he died.

How dare he protect his friend, his son and his people??? TFW Faerghus culture is so backwards, Claude must bring them civilisatio

As a sidenote, as stupid as this scene was, I thought it was a nice throwback at CF!Claude, who cannot understand why Hilda died to protect him, instead of running away like he told her to.

In CF though, he is obviously touched and mourns her death, not giving his pseudo-Caellach lines.

I’m really confused what the hell Claude thinks he’s doing. Does he REALLY think killing Rhea will magically allow people to live as they please? Didn’t he grow up in another country where they had princes and shit and NO Rhea?? All he’s doing is making Edelgard’s take over easier.

Rhea BaD.

That's all you need to know.

If people die, it's because of her, if people are asses, it's because of her, if nobility exist, it's because of the Church (this take is sponsorised by FEH's B!Lysithea!), if crops don't grow, it's because of her, if I forgot the pie in the over, it's also because of Rhea.

What’s his plan? Kill everyone in Faerghus - profit - “freedom” from Rhea - Edelgard takes over - no profit???

No RL comparisons, but invading a place to get rid of their "backwards" culture, and free them from their "religion" really brings back nasty vibes...

I’m convinced someone who’s a major Edelgard stan wrote the larger plot of this, but then a Dimitri stan wrote the actual dialogue

Since Billy's dead you won't be able to witness the ultimate Dimitri fuckery - but I believe the writers were definitely not Dimitri stans, if they were, they took a break during a certain chapter.

We really go from one moment Claude being like - it’s Rhea’s fault Gautier died bc Kingdom culture bad because church bad to Sylvain being like, naw, he died defending his friends.

Claude is poor man's Caellach! At least Caellach had style!

At the very least, I’ll give Hopes credit here. At least they didn’t write anyone opposing Edelgard as either evil or like they’re idiots for resisting invasion, but I almost feel like they made the Kingdom especially too sympathetic which makes Edelgard look more interesting (since SB is more honest than CF) and Claude just look like a bozo. Rhea just doesn’t look like anything since she’s not even here.

The Lolcalisation lolcalised a bit, but Rhea will be hit with some weird lines coming from her, which might be on par with the Firdhiad BBQ at the end of CF. It's not as gruesome though, and could be explained by the fact she's fucking pissed but...

Though, I REALLY wish Claude didn’t side with us in AG. 

Seeing the Kingdom wreck everyone in AG would have been a nice catharsis after playing this route and Supreme Bullshit, but this game instead prefers to make everyone side against a common enemy, so you can keep the "uwu feels" about the three lords working together...

Golden Wildfire Ch 11

On we go to ch 11. Things are . . . uh . . . interesting.

MAIN STORY

So if you didn't see ch 10, I failed to recruit Byleth. I retried the level a few time, but honestly I just want to finish this game so I didn't bother.

Plus, the reason I failed was that Claude just sat there instead of moving forward on the escort mission, which got really frustrating, and honestly I didn't want to bother.

Ugh, I don't want to fight the Kingdom.

So those Houses that wanted to defect to the Kingdom didn't because Claude's battle was that bloody in that fire map.

Poor Dimitri and co seems like he's just betting bullied for no real reason by two imperialistic maniacs.

I love how Arval is getting snooty over Shez getting credit for their tactics lamo.

Man, this dialogue is dragging.

So Nadar is going to cause diplomatic chaos by utilizing the Almyran army without getting real permission.

Wait, Claude riled up Sreng? So much for "ending racism" lamo. Wasn't having two cultures not be prejudice against each other like his MO? The writers really just threw him in the trash, hunh.

I feel so bad for Claude fans. He's really a piece of work in this.

MAP/SIDE STUFF

Everyone missing Judith has a lot more punch than Randolph. Even Monica was like "get over it" to Fleche (but nicely).

So, let me make sure I have this right. Mr. I Want to End Prejudice Between Cultures just provoked Sreng into attacking the Kingdom so Edelgard can take it over because Rhea is the reason for everything bad. Did I get that right?

Unlike SB, GW is entertaining as hell, but man is the logic here is just non-existant. And poor Claude RIP.

Like, I know I'm biased and all, but I don't see how you're supposed to be the heroes and not Dimitri here. The people just defending themselves are getting attacked on all 3 fronts for the crime of *existing.*

Not going to lie. I kinda wish Claude didn't side with you in AG either. It would've been hype to kick everyone's ass as Dimitri after getting cornered by all these land-grabbers.

GW!Claude is really just the mean girl's sidekick. 😂

If Felix and Rodrigue die in this chapter I swear to God . . . (I just remembered Rodrigue is dead in SB now 😭 - LET THIS MAN SURVIVE).

I had to fight Felix in a side mission. Lysithea said they had to "defend this place" - like, girl, you are invading.

When the challenge is "you can't dodge" but you're using Lorenz 😌👌 (FYI, he just does not take damage in this game)

SHEZ & HILDA A SUPPORT

They're talking about how Hilda exerted energy in a battle because she worried about Shez.

Hilda claims it's just self-defense bc she was cheering for Shez on the front lines and enemies were there (honestly, this is pretty boring so far)

It's the same-old Hilda claiming she's weak but that not being true.

SHEZ & CONSTANCE C SUPPORT

I know she's an Empire character, but whatever.

She wants to create new magics to restore her noble house and wants to research Shez bc of their weird magic

Lamo, Constance low-key called us dumb

Shez suggests she get her house back through military accomplishments.

Constance refuses to train right now, she wants to at night (it's her dual personality thing, right?)

CLAUDE & LYSITHEA B SUPPORT

Their first one. Claude's unhappy Lysithea charged in the last battle. But Lysithea kicked ass, so she's upset with Claude.

Claude calls her plan dumb and that he thought Lysithea was smarter than that. Lysithea still argues it ended earlier bc of her.

Lysithea doesn't back down.

Honestly, I side with her here. Claude's being patronizing. And it's rich of him not to care about all the other deaths dragging out the battle would cause and only Lysithea dying because she's *important*

CLAUDE & HOLST A SUPPORT

Oof, this one hurts. Claude accuses the church of creating all the systems to serve their own interests, because he doesn't know the truth here. That the Empire actually created most of it, and that all the church ever did was protect a genocided race from being murdered by more power-hungry humans.

It's also hysterical to hear Claude talk about wanting to improve foreign relations while instigating a war between two cultures.

Oof, Holst doesn't care about any of this. He's only worried Claude's going to send Hilda to marry a big, brown, scary foreigner. NOT a good look.

Holst says he cares more about Hilda's future than the whole Alliance. Yikes.

HILDA & HOLST A SUPPORT

They're preparing a feast.

Oh, it's nice to see Hilda's insecurities about Holst's "perfection" come up in this, bc so far she hadn't said much.

After that last support though, Holst is actually a pretty shitty leader.

Holst wants to make the feast all about Hilda instead of himself though. Hilda likes the attention.

Hilda basically had to set up her own feast lol.

HILDA & LINHARDT A SUPPORT

Hilda's cleaning, and Linhardt's honestly upset that he's lost a fellow lazy person.

Hilda claims she never pushes work on people. That, is a lie.

Linhardt is mostly worried how bad it'll look if he's the only one not working instead one of two.

All this support confirms that Linhardt is by far the superior lazy.

LORENZ & LYSITHEA A SUPPORT

Their only support.

So, not related to their support (and watch it counter it), but I find it pretty amusing how getting a leadership position faster matured Felix and Sylvain, but Lorenz is still a bit of a joke and the butt-end of every support he's in.

He's just bragging about how awesome his position and power is.

Lysithea says she's not inheriting her house. She claims it's because she doesn't like what comes with nobility, but we all know why.

She worried that the land will go to chaos without it's leaders though. Lorenz offers help (which, imo, he's actually mature here!)

Lorenz suspects she's turning it down for another reason and encourages her to rely on others to help.

RAPHAEL & LEONIE B SUPPORT

Raphael keeps snapping bows in half when he uses them. Leonie's shocked.

Leonie seems to actually make one and invites Raphael to test it while on guard duty with her.

IGNATZ & MARIANNE B SUPPORT

Marianne found his picture. He puts it down, but she likes it (it's a horse, well a pegasus, but of course)

Ignatz gets carried away talking about it, but Marianne finds it cute.

Ignatz finds Marianne loving pegasus cute. She blushes.

He wants Marianne's help, helping him paint a pegasus bc they don't like men, but if Marianne is around he can get closer and get a better painting. She's happy to help.

Honestly, this whole support is really cute.

MAIN BATTLE/STORY

It sucks having to attack the Kingdom over and over again when all they want to do is exist in peace.

Oh, joy, Nadar wants to plunder Faerghus. I can see why Fodlan is so evil for not wanting to let them do what they will.

GW really had a chance here to finally do something interesting with Almyra. It even marketed itself as a route that WOULD. But instead it's just doubled-down on Almyra being a one-note lawless place full of barbarians. At least we have Brigid and Duscur so the only brown country isn't some racist stereotype. Since it's only 1 of 3, it's not AS bad of a look.

Fuck. I don't want to kill Felix and Rodrigue. It would be one thing if the Kingdom actually provoked this, but Felix and Rodrigue haven't done anything to deserve this.

I get to recruit Ashe again. Is he miserable here too?

Ugh, I was hoping Felix and Rodrigue weren't here. It seems vastly unfair that it's only Kingdom characters who die for reel in this.

Wow. Claude's really an A-class asshole. He told Ashe to surrender because Dimitri wouldn't want him to die. Maybe don't invade for no reason then?

Is Claude also going to single Felix out as a citizen of Faerghus who deserves to live? Or does only Ashe count and not the nobles and unnamed grunts he's slaughtering because he decided to team up with the person who plans on taking over his rule? (not hate to Ashe at all, I honestly feel awful for him in this game)

Ok, so fighting Felix is just a side quest. I'd rather fail a side quest than fight Felix so, going to try to avoid having to kill him. Ugh, he's attacking the engineers. And he's damn right saying he has every right to kill the people who are invading his home.

Thank God, he just retreated.

I still love how Claude got bent out of shape over Ashe, but Lorenz alone has killed 500 citizens of Faerghus this chapter so . . .

Felix is so worried about Rodrigue. I swear the writers wanted you to feel like shit playing this route.

Oh, fuck. Just when I thought I was finished killing people for defending themselves, Daddy Gautier shows up :( He's sacrificing himself to safe Felix and Rodrigue, isn't he?

Oh, fuck. He died for real 😭

It's really hard to like these characters, making mindless chit-chat after killing Sylvain's daddy. I hope Sylvain fucks them up a new one.

I've never wanted to slap a character more than I'd love to slap Claude right now. The moron has the audacity to be surprised people are going to die while he's invading a foreign country. What a fucking stupid moron.

He's also blaming - get this right - chivalry.

I'm like. I'm speechless right now.

That's right guys. Margrave Gautier died defending his king, his country, his home, and most importantly one of his fucking best friends from an asshole invader. But it's CULTURE'S fault he died.

I'm really confused what the hell Claude thinks he's doing. Does he REALLY think killing Rhea will magically allow people to live as they please? Didn't he grow up in another country where they had princes and shit and NO Rhea?? All he's doing is making Edelgard's take over easier.

This is starting to feel like a borderline spoof. Look at us end the war by invading another nation!!! I mean???

What's his plan? Kill everyone in Faerghus - profit - "freedom" from Rhea - Edelgard takes over - no profit???

The writing in this route has gotten really fucking stupid. Like, I LIKE the idea of evil!Claude. Either a Claude who wants to take over all of Fodlan or one who's ruthless and will do anything to preserve Leicester.

But what I don't like is really fucking dumb Claude, which is what GW's devolved into.

Oh, God, now we get a flashback between father and son. Sylvain and Gautier :(

Sylvain better not be fucking recruitable in this route.

Now Sylvain's in charge 😭😭😭😭

I'm convinced someone who's a major Edelgard stan wrote the larger plot of this, but then a Dimitri stan wrote the actual dialogue 😅

We really go from one moment Claude being like - it's Rhea's fault Gautier died bc Kingdom culture bad because church bad to Sylvain being like, naw, he died defending his friends.

At the very least, I'll give Hopes credit here. At least they didn't write anyone opposing Edelgard as either evil or like they're idiots for resisting invasion, but I almost feel like they made the Kingdom especially too sympathetic which makes Edelgard look more interesting (since SB is more honest than CF) and Claude just look like a bozo. Rhea just doesn't look like anything since she's not even here.

Though, I REALLY wish Claude didn't side with us in AG. I really wish we got to see Faerghus backed into a corner and kick everyone's asses. They've very much the underdog and watching them do that would've been awesome.

Felix and Rodrigue are beating themselves up over this.

See, this is what I mean - Sylvain just said he's reserving all his hatred for the foreign invaders who take everything for no reason - I really feel like a Dimitri fan saw how everyone collectively decided to take a dump on the Kingdom in the big plot and got revenge by making everyone look like villains (or morons in Claude's case) for doing so in the writing.

Curious about 20 and 26 for the FEH question thing.

Thanks for your ask, fireemblems24! This one got a bit long. lol

I'm actually gonna tuck question 20 below the cut, because it's somewhat Claude critical. I am still tagging him for my own blog sorting purposes, but Claude fans who don't like seeing him criticized may wish to just not click the "keep on reading" line.

26 - Character(s) you started out disliking but ended up really liking, and why?

My first impression of Hubert, while I was playing Azure Moon/Verdant Wind, was that he was your average evil henchman. I fully expected him to be mediocre at best. Then I played Crimson Flower and honestly, Hubert was one of the few good things about that route. Turns out he’s the actual brains and competence behind that operation and unapologetically, hammy evil. Hubert doesn’t want to sip tea and paint pictures while the Alliance mourns its leader and Almyra attacks the border—he’s too busy bribing and assassinating people while dressed like a dedicated vampire LARPer. For a character to kill his own father in service to the woman he simps for takes balls (evil balls, but still, balls, and I can respect that). His S support with Byleth is surprisingly wholesome.

20 - Character(s) you thought had wasted potential, and why?

Claude. A biracial lord, who is handsome and charming, but also kind of shifty? That is such an interesting concept, but where the game went with him...

He never ended up nearly as shifty/dangerous as the game implied him to be. Yes, one of his lost items is mild stomach poison, but he never uses it. He steals cheese from the pantry, sneaks into locked off monastery places, uses Byleth's status as interim pope to convince a bunch of nobles, and uses disguises to sneak into a fort. So shifty much wow. Seriously unimpressed.

Then there are his motivations. You don’t learn what his ultimate goals are until after time skip, only to find out that they are idealistic to the point of naïveté. For example, his claim that Dedue, Petra, Shamir and Cyril being at Garreg Mach showed that peaceful co-existence was possible, which seems fine on the surface, except Dedue still faces discrimination even in spite of being vassal to one of the most powerful people in Fodlan while there (the monks won’t let him help with investigations, one of them flat out calls him a miscreant), Petra is a political hostage, Shamir falls under suspicion of having kidnapped Flayn simply for being a foreigner, and Cyril flat out states that some people in the church distrust him because he’s Almyran. That’s not even going into how he seems to think that the only reasons for the xenophobia in Fodlan are the rules of the church and lack of exposure… and completely misses that there are centuries of actual, literal conflicts and invasions, not just from Fodlan’s side, but Almyra, Sreng and Dagda/Brigid as well. Not to absolve the lords of Fodlan of all blame, but when someone tries to raid your territory, that won’t exactly endear them to you. He learns to broaden his horizons a bit at least in regards to Almyra in his supports with Cyril, but it feels more like a footnote.

Finally, thanks to his game doing nothing to build up the Slithers and everything to build up his suspicion of the church for a convenient lore dump, the final two maps of his route—entertaining as they are from a gameplay perspective, come out of nowhere.

Overall, my main problem with Claude (and Edelgard—although in her case I can see what the developers were going for and can at least acknowledge that there was intent behind what initially seems like shoddy writing) is that he has all those grand ideas and supposed talents but 1) it’s very much a case of tell, don’t show, and 2) unlike Dimitri, he is never given the chance to try and fail, be criticized, and then grow from that. I recommend reading @butwhatifidothis’s pinned post on how to improve Claude and Verdant Wind (or even just the summary of each chapter of that essay, if you are short on time), to see how his story could have been told soooooo much better.

Also, honorable mentions to Rhea (she needed supports and she should have been playable in Silver Snow), Petra (her entire support with Edelgard, she should have been recruitable post time skip in AM/VW/SS), Hapi (her character development grinds to a halt, unless you get her paired ending with Ashe, basically), and Dedue (it’s complete bs that he lives or dies depending on whether you do his paralogue or not and he really should have been there for many of the part 2 scenes, especially the one with Kleiman’s man confessing about the Tragedy of Duscur).

P.S.: Claude’s S support with Byleth is one of my least favorite S supports in the entire game. I won’t spoil it for you here, since I know you’re doing a blind playthrough and last I read you had not yet played the final month of Verdant Wind, but suffice to say it made me wonder if divorce is legal in Fodlan/Almyra.

For the FE3H game, I want to know 15 so I can read it once I'm done!

15) If you are an artist or writer, are you currently working on any new FE3H content (art or fanfic)?  If so, will you share a sneak preview?

Oh my gosh tons of stuff actually. I’m not gonna post any snippets because I’m typing this on the wrong device for that but I’ll give a break down of some of the fics I’ve got brewing!

So just in terms of currently published WIPs I’m close to publishing the next chapter of Unwanted (my Sylvix omegaverse pregnancy drama) and my Dimidue Big Bang fic. I won’t post previews of those cuz they’re close to being done and posted 👀

In terms of long term multi-chaptered works I’m currently in the process of editing some hardcore Modern AU Dimitri whump and Dimidue slow burn. It is not for the faint of heart. I also have a Sylvix canon universe fic in which Dimitri and Felix spend the time skip as prisoners of war. Also not for the faint of heart.

For oneshots I don’t have anything I’ve got to the point where I could publish a WIP snippet, but I’d like to get something sexy done. Maybe with werewolf Dedue and lil blue riding hood Dimitri 👀 It’s gonna be for Halloween, I’m planning something for around that time.

[sevarix-blogs]

thanks to @fireemblems24 for this idea!

it's time for FodlanAppreciationHour!

I know it's not a perfect game but I love fe3h and i love the characters it gave us. i love how we can bond over our blorbos. i love that we don't even need supports between all the characters to know how they'd interact with each other.

i love byleth and i love that they gave the game a protagonist who is kind and likes helping people. I love that byleth has growth throughout the game as we learn more about them.

i love the dlc! i love that the dlc characters fit so perfectly into the existing world that sometimes i forget that they were added almost a year later. i love that the game gave me my favorite video game character of all time who led me to write 63 works of fanfiction after not having written anything for over 5 years.

fodlan will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️

[travelling-on-the-octopath]

Thank you user fireemblems24 for reminding me of this brain child. I haven't written a complete piece in /so/ fucking long, so I may just write a silly one shot inspired by a scene in Anastasia to flex my writing fingers.

Dimiclaude Anastasia AU. Claude trying to milk the royal family for money by handing them the pretty blonde man but, uh oh! He's found the lost prince of Faerghus

#FodlanAppreciationHour - Teh Music

In the interest of @fireemblems24 idea, i figure id jump in with what i find most appreciable about the fodlan series: it has some really nice orchestration for its smaller themes. the little event themes that tend to get glossed over in any game essentially, which are well composed and generally fit the mood of the moment the games want you to feel in those moments.

Personally i especially like the nabateans and agarthans motifs which clash nicely giving each distinctively different edges that highlight aspects of their factions [nabatean motifs are calming, soothing, mystical, choiric and natural. agarthan motifs are cold, sinister, looming, technological]

another common motif is the utilization of the edge of dawn/lady of hvreslig theme which tend to have a chorus or so in a lot of the games event songs.

[elluia]

My contribution to the Fódlan appreciation hour thanks to @fireemblems24

I feel like there is one rollercoaster of a chapter in Azure Moon that is criminally underrated: the Great Bridge Coup, aka the Great Bridge of Myrddin map. For context, as a relatively old fan of FE on my first unspoiled playthrough of Three Houses, I expected to re-recruit Lorenz at some point, and I was convinced Dedue would return because of the end of his paralogue (it just screamed: the game will remember that 😎). My out-of-house recruits were the Church characters, Lorenz, Lysithea, Ignatz, and Leonie. I got into the Kingdom route fully expecting to fight the Empire so I purposefully avoided recruiting the Black Eagles for maximum pain.

The battle opens with Dimitri confronting Byleth on their desire for revenge after Jeralt’s murder. You can admit you weren’t so different from Dimitri then… But also support Felix when he says that hanging onto that feeling is pointless because the living need you more. At this point Felix opens up, and Byleth shows their growth. It really feels like, as a team, you’re trying to reach out to Dimitri, even if it’s not working yet. After what happened to Randolph, the atmosphere is still grim.

Then you discover the map, and… FINALLY Lorenz is there 😭 Besides the (alleged) loss of Dedue, he was the only student who missed the reunion at Garreg Mach, all because of the Empire’s pressure on the Alliance border. I could finally get him back in my party! (coming from a Radiant Dawn fan who loves all the side-switching available in that game). Also feels nice to go against the kill everyone policy Dimitri lives by at the moment 😄

So you start the battle, you’re progressing to take the ballista, bring Lorenz home, and… Wait, a cutscene starts at the beginning of a turn? But it’s not reinforcement??? IT’S DEDUE?!!! And he looks great but all these scars 😭😭😭 Dimitri can’t catch a break but neither does he! I actually gasped with joy and continued to give baby pet names to Lorenz and Dedue all map long because of how happy I was XD

(Gameplay-wise I actually like that you need to go out of your way to save Dedue, FE has been too nice in that regard since Awakening. I was molded by the insane requirements for Radiant Dawn’s true ending so locking CF behind a cutscene or Dedue’s survival behind a paralogue is just… child’s play really XD)

Anyway, what really matters is that… at long last, YOUR TEAM IS WHOLE AGAIN. (Doubly so for me) And with the Blue Lions being as close as family, and the overall themes of that route, and the JUICY supports you know you’ll get after the battle… The Hype is real!

There’s also the sheer hilarity of Acheron popping up only to get murdered by your units, and since I had recruited Lorenz, I was more than happy to oblige for round two against this guy XD

And yet, amidst all this hype… it’s the first time on AM that you must kill an unrecruited student. Ferdinand. The last time Byleth saw him, he had just lost everything because of Edelgard… You can imagine how much he struggled to get there, and now you have no choice but to cut him down. In my playthrough I didn’t have Dorothea to mourn him in the next chapter’s exploration, so I had to live with the fact that his dream to be remembered would never be fulfilled. Azure Moon can be nothing but bittersweet.

Having your first battle in Adrestia be against Ferdinand (a fallen noble fighting an uphill battle to restore his name), Lorenz (pressured into compliance to protect Gloucester), and Ladislava (a respectable general who rose through loyalty and merit), also drives home the point that your enemies are not just monsters. Actual nuance there, when CF has the audacity to blame the Blue Lions who defend their nation from invasion.

Ferdinand’s death felt like a tragic waste of life (Lorenz too if he’s unrecruited), which gives more weight to Dimitri’s conflicted feelings after the battle (I’ll get back to that). I’m actually glad I didn’t recruit him because it balanced out the happiness in that chapter and 3 years later, I still remember the impact it had on me.

The battle concludes with the sweetest reunion scene between Dimitri and Dedue, others have said it better so I’ll just say I cheered so hard 🥰 Then you see the first crack in Dimitri’s cold-blooded murderer mask when he isn’t happy for this victory against the Empire, calling their death foolish in a sour tone. He tries to justify to himself that they were just beasts, but even he doesn’t believe it at this point. So there’s a heart still in there.

Final scene is Fleche joining your army with Dimitri’s permission and you know shit is about to go down in the next chapter. Can’t be happy for too long amirite?

Conclusion: This map has great dame design with all the reinforcements, beasts, possible recruitments, chests to pick, a ballista to capture. The emotions run high (and it’s finally something else than depression since the time skip) with possibly Dedue and Lorenz making your team whole again, and your probable first fight against a former student. The chapter’s replay value is also underrated based on whom you saved/recruited or not. Overall great gameplay and the story finally gives you a sliver of hope that Dimitri can get better. And it’s on that amazing high that the Battle at Gronder Field opens, a chapter that will go on to make Azure Moon the character-driven masterpiece I think it is. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Ok I said like two weeks ago that I was gonna put together a spoiler tagged doc relating to this post

Then I finished it all in one night because it really didn’t take that long, set it aside for further proof reading, and completely forgot about it lmao.

So here it is

FE3H War Crimes :) (including crimes against peace and crimes against humanity)

Notes:

1. As child soldiers and wilful killing are a staple of the franchise I will not hold that against any of them

2. The using of the fire trap at Garreg Mach by Claude, Seteth, and Gustav does not count as a war crime as the area where it is used has been uninhabited by civilians for five years

3. As Dimitri never learns the truth about the Heroes Relics in game, he will not be tried with Abuse of Corpse

4. Dimitri is also acquitted of using crest beasts as this was done without his knowledge or consent

5. Dimitri almost commits the war crime of “torture of POW” but is stopped before doing so, but he was willing so that’s 1/2

6. Dimitri may have also killed civilians as he stated that he killed “government officials”, but it is unclear whether or not they also had combat training and the situation it had happened (if it was during his escape of execution then it can be considered self defense)

Edelgard

1. Starting the war (planning, preparation, or waging a war of aggression)

2. Invading the Alliance (the deliberate attacks on property of neutral states)

3. Using Aymr despite saying she knows where it comes from (abuse of corpse)

4. The imprisonment of Rhea (the mistreatment of prisoners of war)

5. The imprisonment of Rhea (the taking of hostages)

6. Forced conscription or death (the mistreatment of civilians, civilian labourers forced to support war effort/slave labor)

7. Turning people into crest beasts (biological warfare experiments on humans)

8. Using crest beasts (the use of chemical and biological weapons in warfare)

9. Wanting the Nabateans dead (genocide)

10. Keeping the citizens in Enbarr during a battle (the use of human shields)

11. Petra is a political hostage and possible enemy (Compelling a prisoner of war or other protected person to serve in the forces of a hostile Power)

12. Attacking the monastery (intentionally launching an attack in the knowledge that such attack will cause incidental loss of life or injury to civilians or damage to civilian objects)

13. Attacking the monastery (intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science, for charitable purposes, historic monuments, or hospitals)

14. Gathering soldiers disguised as merchants and pilgrims at the monastery for infiltration (the feigning, before an attack, of non-combatant status)

Claude

1. Using Failnaught despite knowing where it comes from (abuse of corpse)

2. Dressing up as Imperial soldiers (making improper use of the military insignia and military uniform of the enemy)

Rhea

1. Setting Fhirdiad on fire (extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly)

Dimitri

1. Almost torturing Randolph (torture of a prisoner of war)

2. May have killed civilians referred to as “government officials”, but it is unclear whether or not they also had combat training and the situation it had happened (if it was during his escape of execution then it can be considered self defense)

War Crime Total

Edelgard: 14

Claude: 2

Rhea: 1

Dimitri: 1 (1/2 for a maybe war crime, 1/2 for an almost war crime)

If you think I missed any or would like evidence to support any of the claims feel free to message me about it :).

#FodlanAppreciationHour - Warlock garments

Submitting my first entry based on @fireemblems24​ wonderful idea of trying to combat discourse negativity with some good vibes, by highlighting one of my favorite design aspects of 3 Houses: the design of the Warlock class garments:

Look at these! They look relatively simple, yet decadent, yet also comfortable. There are wonderful details everywhere! I especially love the flowers on the women and the feathers on the men. Nobody looks bad in this outfit. Nobody. Hell, I am half-tempted to do the female version for the Cosplay Village at GamesCom in late August, but I no longer have a sewing machine. Maybe I can borrow my mom’s.

Anyway, best class outfit ever. 12/10 would wear anytime.

[fireemblems24]

Hi I have been really enjoying your playthrough of 3 hopes and reading the chapters but u have been having a bit of trouble finding the earlier ones and I was wondering if you had a list or any tips on finding them more easier.

I am sorry about being a pain

You're not being a pain! It makes me happy to know people are actually reading this stuff.

Unlike with Houses, I started with better tagging from the start this time. You'll have to work backwards, but these tags/links should work.

So, I tried to post links and it just went to the blog.

Editing this URL should work (just take out the spaces)

[randomnameless]

I swear this chapter alone made me reconsider Supreme Bullshit, especially that ending !

Sadly we will never know what Varley was preaching that made Rhea so upset that she sent assassins to rekt him.

To Agarthans, basically, everyone who isn't them is a "beast".

Yep, Supreme Leader already tried to team up with the evil lizard illuminati to rekt them, but she stabbed them in the back before making sure the Agarthans were defeated. Now she thinks both are blights on this world and puts them on the same priority level, when Rhea knows who's the biggest threat to the world.

In a way, the Deers not giving fucks about Claude is oddly satisfying, given how he had his them ally with the Empire only to attack then all afterwards. Forget Acheron, Nopes Claude is the biggest weatherwane of Fodlan lol

Ah, the Bergliez paralogue.

Note how Leopold (Bergliez Sr) gifts those gauntlets to Caspar because of his achievements and as a reward, so fitting with Supreme Leader's meritocraty, Caspar got them bcs he is the best at fighting...

But then Leopold says those gauntlets were in his family for generations... And they go to one of his sons lol. It feels like a heirloom being passed down to a heir, and funny how Barney can be jealous because, hey, they're most likely the reason why the war goes so well, but since they're not from Bergliez's brood, they won't get anything :)

Hereditary Meritocracy for everyone !

Did you knew you can use Shamir to kill Cyril and Catherine ?

She seems to scold Cyril for fighting while wounded (but she won't pull a Jeritza, of course !) and given her recruitment, she has nothing meanigful to say to Catherine...

As for Rhea...

SHE FUCKING DIES IN AN EXPLOSION TO TAKE DOWN THALES HOW BADASS IS THAT

ahem

This scene is basically perfect, bcs it ended years of discourse as in Rhea knows Thales'n'co are the biggest threat to Fodlan and she has her priorities straight, unlike a certain someone, even if it means death, Rhea will take them down, which made Supreme Leader's betrayal earlier on this route completely nonsensical, if her goal was really to get rid of the Agarthans, the Church would have helped her all the way-but she had to MAGA and turn against the evil lizard illuminati.

Also, I really liked how Barney, in that moment, tried to help Rhea and turned against Thales- maybe because even they, as a random soldier treated as they are in SB - realised who was the biggest threat ? In a nutshell, this route completely shits on Fe16's Supreme Leader as everyone realises Agarthans shouldn't be allied with, worse, should be rektd first.

I'm pretty sure Claude died when he turned against you another reason why this route is the second best lol and yep, the writing ends here to have a smokescreen of an ending where no one dies (If you recruited Billy) and it's kept unconclusive to make sure the players won't feel bad for achieving an ending without Billy.

It's stupid reasoning, but then, this game has strange writing.

And yet this one of the best endings for Rhea, unironically, because even if she dies, she steals the show by taking Thales out IN AN EXPLOSION AS THEY BOTH FADE AWAY IN BLINDING LIGHT

It's so Shonen from the 90s how can you not like it ???

Yes, humanity is fucked but lbr, much like Jugdral, Fodlan's humans are hopeless

Bar some barbarians in the North ?

Scarlet Blaze Ch 15 (Final)

Last one, everyone! After this, I finally get to play Spiritfarer which I got on . . . Christmas 2022.

NARRATION

Last chapter. Finally. Killing so many people in this route is really awful. Especially since you just . . . don't in the other two.

I think the last chapter will take place at the monastery.

Oh, great, does this mean I have to protect Bernie's dad in this route? I hope Rhea kills him, like gets this badass cut scene where she cuts him down for perverting her faith by using it as a propaganda tool.

So TWSITD showed up and is attacking Rhea and the Empire.

They're mostly after the "beasts" (aka Nabateans? Or humans?)

I wish this meant that we teamed up with Rhea, but we know Edelgard would team up with TWSITD first.

Catherine and Rhea got a cool moment together though.

Yep, we have to protect Count Varley, gross.

MAP

No side battles! This final chapter will be super quick, which is nice.

I'm VERY curious what the Golden Deer students say after Claude's moment last chapter lamo.

And if any Lions mention Sylvain :((((

OMG, Ignatz is savage. He only cares about painting the battle. No mention of Claude.

Yuri wishes he could kill Varley instead of save him. Good for him. He really feels more suited for AG/AM/SS/VW than SB/CF/GW.

Well, at least Mercedes mentioned Sylvain. And Ingrid and Annette. Saying they died for what they believed in and admires them for it, since she could never.

Poor Ashe is having a crisis. Still had no idea wtf he's doing in the Empire's war camp. Honestly, this game made him so much more interesting.

Linhardt also has no fucking clue why he's here. I swear he does nothing but complain every map (in a funny way) and wish he was doing literally anything else.

Lorenz is more concerned about his future bc of Claude than worried about him. Man, guy really has no one loyal to him lol.

DOROTHEA & CASPAR C

I swear I did a much better job getting supports in GW and AG.

Caspar has a bunch of books, and Dorothea's horrified by the idea that he'll use them in training.

Caspar plans to read them. Dorothea teases him. Apparently Lin made similar comments.

Dorothea makes him promise not to hurt the books. A woman after my own heart.

Caspar's like, did you know my dad reads! Dorothea's like, yeah . . . how do you think he got his role if he didn't.

Dorothea tells a story about an unlearned commander who studied strategy in books and improved to become legendary.

The only stupid part of this is thinking you can read and understand complicated books in 5 days and become an expect in 5 days. For once, Caspar was the smart one being like, uh, I need more time.

MERCEDES & LYSITHEA B

This support is SB locked, but neither characters are Eagles. It may be the only support like that in the game. But, hey, new Mercie content, I'll take it!

Mercedes comes across Lysithea in the kitchen, trying and failing to cook.

The fruits she wanted to use are moldy though. Lysithea has an idea to use something else for the fruit - a sugar syrup.

Lysithea has dedicated her time to learning how to cook because of how good Mercedes' cooking was, so she credits Mercie for the sugar syrup, which she learned because of that.

Baking also helped Lysithea learn the importance of taking breaks.

Mercie calls her a wizened old grandma, lol.

They arrange a tea party.

SHEZ & LINHARDT A

It starts with Linhardt saying they haven't learned anything about Shez's powers. I wonder how funny this sounds if you get it after the special chapters.

Linhardt says it's find because the war is almost over, so there's less need and chance for the powers to go out of control.

Shez pretty consistently wants to continue working as a mercenary after the battle.

He also seems to have no desire to stay in Enbarr lol.

Linhardt wants Shez as a personal bodyguard. Honestly, not a bad choice.

Then Linhardt says something like "spending the rest of my life with some random bodyguard" and then makes an excuse to leave. so he wants to stick with Shez for life. It's kind of sweet.

EDELGARD & PETRA A

Their only support

Edelgard comes across Petra praying to Bigid gods. In Brigid they pray in nature rather than in churches in Fodlan.

Edelgard asks Petra why she's risking her life in the war because it's bad for Brigid.

So Brigid will only be freed if Petra remains alive.

To be fair, it's because she doesn't know the new leader. Still feels a bit icky for Petra.

Edelgard warns about "tricks" the enemy will use. She really has a beef with anyone using tactics.

Petra just says she's happy to fight and can't run while everyone else remains and fights.

Edelgard says she can't back out, which true, but she could've just not started one. But that's in the past I guess.

Overall, came across better than the Houses one where Petra didn't seem like an equal.

EDELGARD/LYSITHEA/HAPI PARALOGUE

My plan is to have Edelgard and Shez make the other two adjuncts and see if I can't beat the paralogue that way.

It's about TWSITD, which isn't surprising given that character list.

God, I've made SB Shez so fucking stupid. Never understanding anything. It's so funny.

So is this about Cornelia? They found one of her old hideouts.

I had Shez shrug about joining. Hapi got offended.

They're talking about Hubert. I wish he was here. He's my best unit.

I wish Cornelia showed up. She's so fun, but sadly she did not.

They didn't find anything. Hapi was mostly chill about it. Edelgard and Lysithea were more bothered.

Shez could show concern or change the subject. Obviously I made him change the subject since SB!Shez is not intelligent.

CASPAR/LINHARDT PARALOGUE

Like the last time, I just plan to adjunct Caspar and let Shez and Linhardt do all the work.

They're arguing if Caspar saw a ghost or not. Linhardt remains unconvinced.

Lamo, their dads showed up and Linhardt's dad called him a "fountain of positivity" when he brought up their could die any day.

Linhardt is also upset that he has to help.

We're hunting down Empire people who've turned against Edelgard.

I had Shez not want to go lol.

The main battle changed to defeating their dads. I don't think I'm supposed to take this paralogue seriously.

Linhardt had no fun.

Bergliez gave Caspar some gaunlets, and I could either be happy for him or jealous. I obviously picked jealous since it's fun to pick the dick answer lol.

FINAL BATTLE

Why is the S rank reward Edelgard's axe? This is the last battle, right? Is there some post game stuff? Because I'm so ready for this to be done (I don't think I'll do it).

Funny, Edelgard is the one defending the monastery this time, and Varley. Imagine your final battle being about protecting Varley. Ugh.

Only 40 points for the final battle?

Just killed Catherine :(

Cyril just showed up. Rhea's so concerned. Not looking forward to killing a child :((( He died too. This is by far the bloodiest route. I swear no one even dies in AG, and in GW it's only Sylvain's dad.

This can't be it, right? That was too easy. And Cyril as the final boss makes no sense. I'm betting it's a Thales and Rhea fight.

Rhea turned into a dragon. Badass. Glad she was the final boss poper and not Thales.

Spoke too soon. I think they're both here now.

Think I beat it. We're at a cut scene now. Thales is doing magic shit. Rhea attacked him and just ignored Edelgard and Shez like they weren't worth her notice lol.

Wait, that's it?

Rhea pushes Thales off a cliff? So RHEA's the hero??

There's no way they could've survived that - Edelgard. My girl, Rhea is a fucking dragon and Thales can warp. I have bad news from you. Also, Byleth survived a fall too so . . .

What happened to Dimitri? I don't think I killed Claude either?

Is that really it? The war just keeps going. The war just keeps on with no end in sight. Hahahaha. You mean I played how many hours for THAT? I'm going to laugh my ass off if all 3 routes end like this. What a cheap way to avoid killing any of the lords.

OMG. What a stupid ending.

Except for Rhea. She got the big hero moment lol.

I kept waiting for another battle. Esp since there's an S rank reward that's Edelgard's axe, so Idk what's going on.

OMG, this is going to take FOREVER. They're showing the MVP of every single side battle and not just the main ones. I'm only at ch 6.

There was a lot more variety in MVP than I thought. I thought it would be the Hubert show, but it's pretty varied.

Ok, so around ch 10 turns into the Hubert show. I like seeing battle data though, so I sat through it.

Ok, so you get a letter from the person you get a whistle from. Aww, I eventually won Hubert's trust, and he admits he and the army needs us. Glad I picked him.

Wait, no paired endings? That blows. I hope this isn't a new trend since Engage didn't do that either (I love paired endings)

Ok, so it looks like some stuff would carry over to another playthrough on this file. So, in the future, I'd replay AG over my GW or SB playthrough to at least get 2 on the same one. I can't see myself replaying SB or GW. It's not like the story would matter since I could just skip it, but the gameplay is pretty much the same, so why not play the route with my favorites and the most unit choices on top of that?

So you can carry over supports and even unit level. So I could play Dimitri as the absurd level he's at in level one if I saved over my AG file? Because that would be funny. Probably boring. But funny.

Still feels good. One down. Two to go.

[lananiscorner]

Currently musing about a potential “all 4 routes at once” FE3H playthrough, similar to what fireemblems24 did. Think I wanna go theme/meme builds as much as possible for this one to make it interesting, and try NG+. Current plans:

Crimson Flower Wyvern Lord supremacy--everyone who can feasibly get on a wyvern, gets on a wyvern. This means everyone except Hubert (horrible banes), Linhardt (axe boon + I’d lose Warp) and Dorothea. That said, might still make Dorothea a Wyvern Lord with a Levin Sword+. She will need to go into Pegasus Knight for Darting Blow anyway. Otherwise she gets to be my dancer.

Verdant Wind Bow Knight bonanza--everyone who can feasibly get into Bow Knight, becomes a Bow Knight. I would love to make Lysithea or Marianne the dedicated dancer, except Raphael has banes in riding AND bows, not to mention an amazing 15% Spd growth that’s gonna tank even more in Bow Knight, so he gets to fill that role. That said, he doesn’t have a crest, so putting the Fetters of Dromi on him will suck (already had that with Ignatz). Do crest items negate the health damage from relics on crestless people?

Silver Snow: Byleth and Ashen Wolves only. They are the only house I’ve never done an exclusive playthrough with before.

Azure Moon: knights on horses playthrough (HK Byleth and Dimitri, DK Sylvain and Felix, FK Ingrid, BK Ashe, DF Annnette and Mercedes). This will basically be a trial run for my golden playthrough.

[lananiscorner]

I was wondering which order you first played each route in 3H. Fans often get very defensive when people accuse them of stupid "first route bias" and for good reason. I think the bias exists for everyone but good, well written routes stand on their own regardless of first route bias. But what order did you play the 4 routes in 3H? And do you feel it influenced your bias slightly depending on that order? Do you think it's ever possible to not have first route bias for 3H as a game format? Thanks!

Thanks for your ask, anon!

I do think it's possible to be MOSTLY free of first route bias, because I saw it in action with @fireemblems24, who played all four routes simultaneously (switching routes after each in-game week). It was highly amusing and enlightening, reading their analysis of different versions of the same scene and the different routes. I think that's about as unbiased as you can get.

My first route was Azure Moon, because Dimitri is literally what got me into the game (I saw some fanart of him, asked a co-worker who's into FE about him, and when she described him to me, I went "omg, that's exactly the kind of character I love--I need to play this"). Needless to say, I enjoyed Azure Moon a lot. It IS my favorite route, and while I'm sure some of that is just first route bias, I feel it is also objectively the best written, narratively consistent route--the only one where it feels like a war really happened, where almost every plot thread that is being planted has at least somewhat of a satisfying payoff. The Blue Lions are also the only house where I genuinely like every character.

My second was Verdant Wind, which wasn't bad, but it has many issues, the least of which being that it underutilizes Claude, featured a house where I considered half the characters ok at best, and decided to put the best part into two lore dumps at the end of the route. The final boss came out of nowhere. This route has a lot of setup for very little payoff (e.g. the Deer never learn of Claude's origins). I was very underwhelmed, overall.

The third was Crimson Flower. I had been looking forward to playing a villain route, because honestly, anyone who declares war on another country unprovoked and works with people who kidnap young girls for blood experiments is a villain, motives be damned (as the meme goes: cool motive, still murder). And I can enjoy a well-written villain. Cersei was one of my top 6 characters in Game of Thrones, after all. Unfortunately, Crimson Flower has more tonal dissonance than "Barbie" by Aqua playing over a death metal video and is deathly allergic of letting anyone on the protagonist's side suffer serious consequences for their actions, so I was left underwhelmed and feeling like I needed a shower.

Finally, I played Silver Snow, which mostly felt like a copy of Verdant Wind (I know it's actually the other way around), up to and including a boss fight that came out of nowhere. The reveal of Byleth's origin also did nothing for me, because one chapter and a half into Azure Moon I had started and finished Cindered Shadows, so I would have access to the Ashen Wolves (which hilariously means that CS was actually my first completed route and lead to fun things like me not knowing that battalions can be depleted and divine pulse is a thing until like.... 4 maps in). Like Verdant Wind, this route had great potential, but squandered it by leaving Rhea unplayable and refusing to actually let Byleth interact in any meaningful way with all the mysteries. I like the Eagles more than the Deer though, so at least it was enjoyable on that front. I had also started experimenting with challenge runs (in this case, a full recruitment Holy Knight Byleth solo), so at least it was fun gameplay-wise. I ended up liking it juuuuuuuust a little bit more than VW.

[agoddamn]

@fireemblems24 just so you know, the Japanese fandom also has nicknames for the Bernie BBQ.

In no particular order, my slang favorites:

ベルファイア/ベル焼き

とある戦場におけるイベントやギミック、またはそれに関連するベルナデッタの扱いのこと。 全くの余談だが、ベルナデッタは肉を焼いた料理は苦手である。

“Belfire”/”Bernfire”/Bernieyaki: the Bernadetta BBQ

介護

本編や外伝の戦闘に登場するNPCが死なないよう（あるいは下手に動いて戦況を不利にしないよう）、プレイヤー側が工夫を凝らすこと。ルナティックで倒れやすくなったギルベルトや、結局殺されるのにソロンや魔獣相手に突撃を仕掛けるジェラルト、ノーマルでも物理防御が高くなく「オーラ」装備で攻速が大幅に下がるロドリグなど中高年に対して用いられることが多い。 他にもゲルズ公やジュディットといった、守らないと敗北する友軍ユニットは何人かいるが、その2名に関してはかなり持ち堪えてくれるのであまり介護とは呼ばれない。

“Long-term care”, or “care for the elderly”, or “nursing home routine”: the practice of keeping NPCs that suck alive. Gilbert, Jeralt, and Rodrigue are the biggest pains in the ass to keep alive, thus the name.

パルミラブートキャンプ

兵種をドラゴンナイトやドラゴンマスターにする育成方針のことを指す。おそらく、��ルミラが竜騎士の国であり、本編で登場するパルミラ出身のキャラクター達が揃ってドラゴンに乗ることからの呼称。 今作において飛行兵は成長面や能力面で優遇されているほか、ドラゴンナイトを経由する過程で転職する斧兵種の戦士やブリガンドで力+2や鬼神の一撃などの火力強化スキルを習得できるので力不足になりにくい、 DナイトやDマスターは（技能さえ鍛えられるのであれば）男女問わず誰でもなれるといった様々な利点があり、今作で育成方針に困ったらドラゴンに乗せればOKといっても過言ではない。 ただし、飛行ユニットであるがゆえに、特に1周目では騎士団の取り合いになるのは避けられない。ドラゴンに限った話ではないが、ご利用は計画的に。

Almyra Boot Camp: making everyone a Wyvern Lord because it’s the best class.   

[fireemblems24]

Hello! I read your analysis from your 3H 4 route simultaneous playthrough. There are a couple scenes that I wish I'd read your reaction to (like Dedue returning in chapter 16 of AM), but I'm guessing you didn't do a full review of every chapter? Sometimes it's hard to find your tags for those playthrough. Anyway, I loved reading your thoughts on every route and respect you a lot for trying to play the game that way. Without NG+, playing 4 new routes simultaneously sounds painful at times.

I didn't, sorry. I only started that later on. Sorry about the tags too. I was really unorganized when I started this.

I found my Ch 16 reactions though. It's a lot of crying emoji lamo. AM is at the end. https://fireemblems24.tumblr.com/post/647760424036712448/chapter-16-battle-post-battle
