Are you hyped for the potential 3H sequel that might be coming soon

>>716245550 (OP)
Yes. Edelgard-sama needs to save the Switch 2. Its boring

>>716245550 (OP)
It's always been very strange that after all the worldbuilding put into 3H they just left it there. Granted, they did a Musou spinoff which was unique, but there were more games made of some notably shallow settings.

Marriage with Marianne!

/v/ FE threads really are dead aren't they

>>716249226
They come and go in waves. Wait until the next Direct teases a crest symbol or shows a new waifu with a tragic backstory-suddenly we’ll have 10 threads arguing over whether Byleth should even return, why Claude is or isn’t a war criminal, and if the new lord is as “based” as Dimitri. Just ride the dead air, brother. The schizoposting shall return.

>>716249226
So long as there are people who want to pump an FE girl full of their seed, FE threads will never die.
Not much to discuss until we get actual news though.

>>716249423
3H niggers really killed this community.

>>716249423
Well that's stupid. Of course Claude is a war criminal, he dressed up like enemy soldiers to invade a fort. He's just also not even half the war criminal that Rhea (burned down a town of civillians), Dimitri (violently tortured PoW's, refused to accept surrender, killed children) or Edelgard (Jesus its too much to list) are.

>>716249226
I blame threads getting suddenly archived for no reason.

>>716245550 (OP)
No, not really. I enjoyed 3h but want something else and all the dialogue surrounding 3h has been ass so I can't even look forward to that.

>>716249529
Awakening bringing in all the Persona waifufags and tumblr menheras is what killed the community, 3H just finished it off with the troons and feminists.

>>716251007
Awakening brought in waifufags, which was bad but at least they assimilated into the fanbase after a few years. 3H on the other hand, just straight up brought normalfags and twitter troons in. And those type of people don't assimilate.

>>716251007
>relating Awakening with Persona
GAHAHAHAGAHAGAHA

>>716251007
3ds era was the best era for FE discussion.

Fates is Awakening with worse writing but vastly refined gameplay, so probably that.
Binding Blade is a good entryway into GBA era stuff

>>716255051
>>716255136
Conquest: Higher difficulty, more varied map objectives, no grinding and limited funds without dlc.
Birthright: Difficulty-wise slightly harder than Awakening, simple maps, unlimited grinding.
Rev: "Golden" Route, highly gimmick, pretty bad unit balance but you get (almost) everyone.
Imo CQ has the better girls, and don't listen to what anyone else says all three routes have awful writing.

Awakening Lunatic is 100x harder than Birthright Lunatic. That game is a fucking joke.

I just started playing Three Houses today. Picked Blue Lions. I'm pretending Byleth is a raging hater of the lower class and also absolutely despises the Empire because they use dark magic. Is there something wrong with me

>>716257642
>don't listen to what anyone else says all three routes have awful writing
Who cares? 90% of the series has terrible writing. 95% of any given piece of media a consume has terrible writing.

>>716260192
Awakening lunatic is broken dogshit that’s more difficult than the entire series, retard. Not really a great metric to go by.

>>716260334
You picked Blue Lions so you're alright in my book

>>716260573
Claude pissed me off, Edelgard was fine but her gaggle of retards seemed to be the obvious quirky anime pick. Dimitri and his goons at least have class.

>>716260664
>her gaggle of retards seemed to be the obvious quirky anime pick
And it worked for at least half the playerbase

For me it's my waifu Shamir

>>716260780
What's a good slur I can call imperials while I play? I already call the golden deer "lowborn" or "merchant spawn" but "mongrel dogs of the empire" only works in Morrowind.

So, is there a book in Abyss library that explicitly says that Rhea is not a virgin?
I never bothered with reading anything there

Btw when so I get to fuck Sothis?

>>716261000
I can't think of anything that isn't just "faggot". But iirc some of the characters call them Imperial dogs

>>716260814
enjoy your 11 toes

>>716261520
I guess I'll have to keep calling them the retard posse.

>>716261537
I would have never noticed had you not pointed it out.

Thank you degenerate footfag for being so attentive

>>716261661
Wait what am I thinking? I can just call them inbred as they are.

Awakening Lunatic and Lunatic+ are joke difficulties, the joke being on you unless you're a masochist that enjoys RNG hell.
I don't even think they were playtested, and if they were it sure as hell isn't the intended experience for a majority of players.

>>716260334
Blue Lions is the only route of the four, or I guess five if you count DLC that actually has any merit from a writing perspective so you picked well.

>>716261414
Something about she and the king of Adestria having an affair.
There is also one where they say Seteth was a manwhore.

>>716264281
Yeah it really isn't. Engage clears it so hard in the gameplay department it's kind of sad.

As the growing hostilities both at home and abroad towards disenfranchised and exploited people of color cause untold amounts of physical and psychological harm, the need for a Golden Deer sequel is greater than ever. Only together can we overcome racism and bigotry.

>>716249529
i love how much 3H is the persona 5 of FE.
its clearly the best entry and its not even close, its a unironic 20/10 when everything else sits between a 6 - 8 and it causes this kneejerk where oldfags seethe that people are enjoying a good game and they have to pretend it isnt the clear highlight of the series.

>You sure this is going to save Fodlan, Sommie?
>Save Fodlan? Why the hell would I wan-I mean yes, yes. This will save Fodlan.

>>716265086
Quite a few but a lot of them were remasters of older games though.

What is everyone talking about? We regularly lave 500+ comment threads all the time.

Other than FE? Mercenaries Saga, Triangle Strategy, Unicorn Overlord, Advance Wars, Wargroove, and Dark Deity, off the top of my head

>>716265448
>its a unironic 20/10 when everything else sits between a 6 - 8
It really is, even has the same obnoxious fans and all apparently.

>>716260334
golden deer is the cannon route and the 'main' storyline of 3H but all routes are compelling and divergent enough to warrant a replay down the line.
you have to replay the first half of the game everytime though and it fucking sucks

>>716265503
>>716265604
How many of them were Switch exclusive?

>>716265368
Just the thought of him seething that he was unable to get Adestria on his side because Edelgard was turned into a baby and now the church and Faergus are stronger than ever is satisfying.
Not as much as killing him on my SB run but still love that.

>>716264641
Damn, can't believe that Rhea is used goods
It is easy to accept that Seteth is a manwhore though.
The guy already had a wife and daughter, he shouldn't be allowed to marry other women

>>716265551

Oldfags aren't really one group. Some of them really like 3H, some don't.
The biggest 3H haters from my experience are Fates/Engage fans.

But the issue will be if Iron 18 has been in development for a while.
It was being developed before Engage's reception so it could still be its own thing or based around AwakeFateGage.

I fucking hate the way FE has incorporated DLC into its games so fucking much. Only Echoes has done it right and even then, it still caused problems because it was handled extremely Jewishly and cost a ton.

But at least there is a chance to save her unlike the other FE dragon milfs

>>716266515
I'm kinda bored so I'll play the devil's advocate.
Engage's gameplay works the best it focus on the Emblem Rings. What chapters do fans praise the most? Chapters 11 and 17. If the Emblem Rings were useless, these chapters would not be praised because the loss of the Emblem Rings and the idea of a 6v6 Emblem fight mean anything is because how important they are to the gameplay.
What mechanic in 3H could be used for these kind of moments? Crests? Battalions? Nothing really has the weight of the Emblem Rings in combat so playing with the idea of having them or not and fighting against them or not doesn't really work.
Could you say "they can improve the mechanics/map design in 3H so players like it more"? Sure, but that's not Engage's gameplay. Engage's gameplay is the best when:
>The Emblem rings are meaningful
and
>The player has to navigate around the Emblem Rings to succeed in the map objective
How would that work in a 3H-like story?

why so many stealth FE gooning threads lately? new game?

>>716267304
I just hate how the DLC in most FE games is not balanced with the base game in mind at all. FE is a very delicate balance of small numbers, even the slightest drop of overpowered stuff at an early point in the game can have rippling effects. And if it's not that, then it's 3H just having a really shit way to access it. Echoes DLC wasn't amazing, I haven't even played it, but I just prefer that template of having maps separate from the base game, new recruitable characters that aren't busted, and stuff like Overclasses that's only relevant after you beat the base game so the balance remains intact.

That said, I'm not sure if I want another FE set in Fodlan. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Annette again, but her story and Fodlan's has already been told. There's not much IS can tell in that universe without resorting and distorting Three Houses. Three Hopes tested people's limits and that was a spinoff set in a different timeline. Plus, I want IS to move on from Three Houses. Let the series move on.

That's my sentiment too. I like the characters too much to watch them turn stale.

>>716269251
I wouldn't mind a updated rerelease that fixed some of the flaws of the original. I also suspected we would get a Thracia 776 style spinoff about Claude and his home country, but that probably won't be the case.

I just hope next game isn't too afraid to stray far from what made TH work. I like how different most FE games have been since Awakening.

How do you feel about the Turnwheel/rewind mechanic from the recent games?
Should it be part of the plot? Do you want it gone entirely?

>>716271553

No, stop giving sensible answers. You were supposed to argue about this for two hours.

>>716271553
I hate it, the save points from DSFE were a way better solution. Also it's extremely retarded that they feel the need to justify it in the story. We don't have some NPC explaining the Save feature, so why do the same for the Turnwheel? Keep it as purely a game mechanic.

>>716271892
>>716272529
Why would she cut off her hair?

>>716272292
Oh sorry. Let me correct myself:
*ahem*
IS should remove the turnwheel, but they won't. And we all know why. It's because all the nu-FE fans don't care about strategy or tactics. All they care about is gooning to their waifu, and IS can't have their waifu die otherwise nobody would care about nu-FE. God I wish we could go back to the time of no waifus. FE died with Awakening.

>>716272590
Women who want to grow a penis aren't men

>>716271553
I'm OK with it but they should only let you use it for like 1-3 times on harder difficulties. Also IS should stop trying to justify its existence in the plot.

>>716272662
8/10 pretty good. Just needed to lament about how FE used to be better with PoR and the GBA games

>>716245550 (OP)
All anime and video game girls want to be with East Asian Jomon men only.

>>716270053
A visual update would be appreciated. Three Houses, especially its environments, can get ugly at times. Though, it would be hard to sell JUST a visual update and doing it for free wouldn't be financially possible.
>Thracia 776 style spinoff about Claude and his home country
Genuinely too brown for general audiences. Also, if Claude is involved in some way, it would make at least Crimson Flower non-canon, which would piss people off. Who knows what timeline it would be based around.
>I just hope next game isn't too afraid to stray far from what made TH work. I like how different most FE games have been since Awakening.
Me too. Which is why I want the series to move on from Fodlan and create something fresh. There's so much you can do with the series, especially on a portable console that can run at 1080/60fps.
>>716271553
Despite being a normie who plays on Normal, I actually don't use the remind mechanic that much. It being a plot point has gotten old and I'd prefer if they just skipped it and made it a mechanic.
>>716271656
Just like Casual and Hardcore mode.

not even gonna bother replying claude is a badass and all a you's bitches

>>716257642
I don't think it's so much awful writing as it is disappointing writing. Like, you have this setup where they could've toyed with the morality of your actions or the actions of the various monarchs and really given you a deeply political, nationalistic Fire Emblem story. But instead it's exactly what it looks like: The good, virtuous, divine Japanese are being harassed by the evil, grim, megalomaniacal fallen dragon slaves, and its up to you as the player avatar to defeat him. The setup promised something more like the stories of older FE but they actually just made Awakening's story 3 times over and stuffed it with filler.

Fodlanshit already has more map variety than shartwakening although the same turn reinforcements leaves a very sour taste (looking at you Ingrid paralogue)

>>716274946
Claude is honestly a fine character. The main problem is that he has little to do in the plot. He's a third wheel to Edelgard and Dimitri's conflict, this is extremely apparent on every route.

>>716274991
That's a lot of words to say it's bullshit she's not blood-related.

>>716275101
Clearing Awakening's map quality isn't a very high bar to be honest...

>>716266639
A girlfriend

>>716275174
He has significantly more to do with the plot than you're giving him credit for, because you fell for the same problem that's consumed Edelgard, Thales, Rhea, and Dimitri. A single event, a single solitary event, whether it's the Tragedy of Duscur or the Massacre at Zanado, doesn't stop the rest of the world from turning. Almyra doesn't know and doesn't care about what happened in either of those events. Claude wins in his own routes because everyone else is so focused on bullshit that happened in the past they aren't planning for the future.

Claude is the only one to kill Nemesis not because he has the best route, but because he's the only lord that can most readily move on from the events that keep anchoring Fodlan in the past. Even Fodlan's inability to technologically advance is specifically because Rhea prohibits it out of fear that another Red Canyon would happen.

Revelation is actually a lot more bearable with that one balance patch which buffs up bases and prepromotes some of the later units like Nyx and the Nohr prince retainers.

Post Dimi's cock please

You've just described the exact issue. The entire game revolves around events that happened in the past, that shaped these characters, the world, and set the stage for the future conflict. Claude is someone divorced from all of that. The strong emotional core that the Black Eagles and Blue Lions have is missing from the Golden Deer. You can try to come up with some thematic reasoning about moving on from the past but what does that even mean from someone who has no stakes in what's happening and no real connection to this conflict.

>It was when Byleth began explaining how to use trigonometry in order to calculate the presumed height of a wall based on the average height of a soldier in armor adjacent to the wall they would be stationed near in order to create an approximation needed to begin calculating the degree to angle a ballista to clear the top of the wall and cause tremendous damage to the soldiers and stations typically secure within the confines of its defensive perimeter that Shez realized she might actually be retarded.

>>716275476
NTA but I disagree. Most of the drama and tension and in 3H's story is between Edelgard and the Church (which ends up represented by Dimitri in BL or you in SS). This makes sense because 3H is loosely inspired by Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where most of the drama in the plot happens between Wei and Shu.
The truth is TWSITD and Nemesis aren’t actually central to the emotional or ideological tension of Three Houses. Sure, they’re the catalyst for a lot of events, but they don't contribute much to the core themes like the morality of crests or the costs of war. That’s why Azure Moon still feels complete even though TWSITD are taken out in the background; the real story in the route is about tragedy, trauma, and healing.
>but because he's the only lord that can most readily move on from the events that keep anchoring Fodlan in the past.
Why would Dimitri at the end of his route or Edelgard at the end of her route (if it was finished) not be in a similar state for help Fodlan move on? Dimitri would have overcome the trauma of Duscur and Edelgard's War and accepted his role as King and Edelgard would have succeeded in a revolution that forced her to bet everything for her belief in a society free of crest domination.

Isn't that Dimitri's entire arc? Letting go of the past and moving forward. Also, Nemesis seems like a non-issue in Azure Moon considering the Dubsteppers get deleted by the Boar's mad dash to Edlegard. What >>716276413 and >>716277253 said really. The reality is it doesn't actually matter which house is best because it's the player's choice. Byleth is the key to all lord's success. Byleth is the answer.

>>716281487
I figured out her rising special and her three hit combo special, I don't know if she has more or a super attack. The first one sucked and didn't really help on any fight while the second remained useful throughout the entire game but I did have to cheese him by spamming jumping strong attacks and hoping he wouldn't dodge.

>How do you feel about the Turnwheel/rewind mechanic from the recent games?
I understand why it exists, it just feels like a lazy solution to the problem of players feeling frustrated over perceived blindsides or bad luck.
>Should it be part of the plot?
Going off the examples we have so far, I'd rather it just be handwaved like in SoV. If it's important to the plot you just end up with questions of "WHY DIDN'T MAIN CHARACTER TURNWHEEL WHEN *BLANK* PLOT BEAT HAPPENED?"
>Do you want it gone entirely?
Honestly, yeah. I'd much rather IS lean into the permadeath thing more again (Awakening kind of fucked things up in that regard by heavily punishing players for losing units by locking entire characters and chapters behind units getting S supports and it's been downhill since then for permadeath) and more directly create solutions to the problems it can cause (give the player more units and more evenly spread throughout the game aka don't do what 3H did, allow the player to recruit generics if they run out of actual characters, add actual acknowledgements in supports and the story for specific character deaths to make said deaths feel like they actually matter and to maybe encourage players to play through character deaths just to see what happens). I know they've played around with how the permadeath thing interacts with gameplay before, but locking entire characters and chapters behind murdering your units isn't really the most graceful solution.

Anon let's not pretend as if Claude killing Nemesis had anything to do with his character. Claude kills Nemesis because the story decides that Nemesis conveniently wakes up specifically when Claude wins, for no apparent reason. It's probably the most out of left field final boss of all the routes, and it doesn't even really make much thematic sense either. I have no idea why the devs didn't use Nemesis for the Church route and Berserk Rhea for Deer, given Nemesis is the source of Rhea's trauma and Claude is all about moving forward even if it means putting Rhea down.

Best additions from Three Hopes

>>716281859
For Eirika, I figured out four
>Hadoken imput using the Light attack for the rising attack
>Double forward medium attack for the flurry
>Double down heavy attack (I think it was?) for the long pierce
>Revenge attack is done by doing the flurry at low hp
I found that the rising attack is the most useful if you can pull it off consistently since it's the most reliable anti-air and a good combo ender, while the pierce was too slow to be useful compared to the standard approach attack.

Adrestia is an incredibly modern cosmopolitan society that caters to the bourgeoisie. It's why everyone in Black Eagles are bisexual, while everyone in Blue Lions is incredibly heterosexual (since the Kingdom is a shithole).

I'm a fan of the interpretation that Seiros and Wilhelm fucked because Edelgard potentially being a very distant descendant of Rhea is deliciously tragic.

>>716283124
That isn't an interpretation, that's what happened. It's why Adrestia has the Crest of Seiros as part of their insignia.

>>716265368
Rhea was making a weird face when she stared at Dimitri.

This is not how you become a knight like Lonato Ashe

>>716283465

>>716283243
They have it because they likely drunk her blood which is why they have the Seiros crest.

>>716283243
Couldn't you just attribute that to Seiros and the Church playing an integral role in the establishment of Adrestia? From my recollection there's nothing definitive pointing to Wilhelm having kids with Seiros.

>>716283584
That's what the deep state wants you to believe. Follow the bloodline

>>716283584
It's up in the air. The Abyss Library remarks on a festival where Seiros and Wilhelm seemed remarkably close. And while that's not a smoking gun, the fact it was noted and the fact Rhea is offended that a descendant of Wilhelm would behave as Edelgard does seems to imply a deeper relationship

>>716282816
Her SS ending is perfect. Fodlan has to deal with their pope openly being the king's onahole

>>716283584
It's because Seiros and Wilhelm had a tryst which started the Hresvelg line.

>>716283728
There's a fic where Wilhelm has a child with Seiros but he passed it as one he has with his legal wife

>>716283396

>>716283840
>as well as the screams of the northern swordsmen as they were torn apart by wild beasts during the...

Why did Faerghus let this slide again?

>>716283862
That's a good fic. I like the alternate ending where Seiros upends the arranged marriage to marry Wilhelm herself.

>>716284078
Faerghus wouldn't exist for another 300 years.

>>716283693
Nevermind does anyone really think Rhea even has casual sex? Her backstory and the intro already shows she has been mentally unstable wanting to get her mother back.
The entire point is she carries the burden of what happened to her mother on her.

>and the fact Rhea is offended that a descendant of Wilhelm would behave as Edelgard does seems to imply a deeper relationship
I mean that doesnt exactly means a relationship. Specially since he was instrumental in defeatimg Nemesis and co.


>>716283840
I mean if thats really what happened, she saying "I never imagined a day as blissful as this would come" at the end of the S support implies she never had any attachments before since she hasnt moved on from the massacre. And I doubt that she has casual sex, doesn't seem very in character.

On the other hand she handling her blood as a kind of honor to people who have supported her is actually supported by Jeralt and the people who turn to dragons in SS.

Okay at the risk of destroying the narrative integrity of this game, during the lead up to the DLC for this game, the developers decided to schizo rant. And while speaking in tongues, they revealed that they didn't actually expect players to do all 4 routes. They expected players to do one route and then discuss the differences with other players

>Yokota: I can’t help but feel sorry for people that have already played through the game four times, though! (laughs)

>All: (laugh)

>Kusakihara: Come on, just one more time! (laughs)

>Yokota: I was honestly expecting more people to play the game once after it was out, then one or two more times after the DLC had been released. As it happened, quite a few people were playing through multiple routes; I couldn’t help but be a little sorry as I continued to work on the DLC.

>Kusakihara: For me, I think games are a way to simulate a world and its story as if the player were experiencing it themselves. I’m personally the type of person that gets absolutely sucked into things like movies and games. I tried setting up a prank using how the game itself is structured: the player would go through the game once and really experience the world, then they’d talk about it with someone else and be like, “we played the same game right? Why are we talking about two different things?” I thought that it might be interesting where even if you picked the same house as somebody, your experience could differ from somebody else’s based on who you recruited. You might even say to yourself, “hey, I didn’t even see that scene!” I didn’t really think players would end up going through the game that many times. (laughs)

So if you spent the last 5 years bickering about which route was canon, but you didn't actually play the other routes, then you played it correctly

>>716283315
She knows Dimitri will father her children in the near future

>>716285518
The Agarthans were uplifted by the Nabateans. They didn't relocate because they were stealing Nabatean technology to create nukes, and wouldn't have the tools or resources necessary to accomplish their task if they left Fodlan. Thales wanted revenge, which meant killing all of the Nabateans.

If Hopes does become canon, then it's interesting to note that Epimenides thought Thales was a retard and wanted to construct a pocket dimension (Zahras) that would allow themselves to be totally separate from where the Nabateans could reach them. Epimenides also only cared about killing the Fell Star and then fucking off because he didn't think the Nabateans would function without their mother.

>>716285418
Probably. I don't have a save file sitting around but in the hidden forest, if you zoom in all the way, you can see the corpses of Golems strewn across the wood. There's actually TONS of details like that all over the game that I never see anyone talk about

I swear there was a line in CF route before you fight him he's talking to Rhea and it really comes off as they were banging and they ensured his bloodline will live on.

>>716285959
>>716285987
Who can stop this tragedy

>>716286078
Dimitri mentions his bloodline won't end with him when you kill him, so there's a baby with tard strength waiting to grow up to cleave Edelgard's head in half.

>>716285641
Your parents should've aborted you.

>>716284723

>>716286160
Is Rufus still alive in CF? Dimitri chops his head off in chapter 2 of Hopes

>>716284632
Seteth maybe? They just changed positions and names every couple hundred years and hope no one noticed

>>716285775
>I tried setting up a prank using how the game itself is structured: the player would go through the game once and really experience the world, then they’d talk about it with someone else and be like, “we played the same game right? Why are we talking about two different things?”
Kek, 3H pseuds got played by the very people who worked on the game

>>716286484
I sorely doubt it was Seteth. Seteth was a recent addition to Garreg Mach since Jeralt doesn't recognize him. And the whole reason he vanished was because his daughter fell into a coma after the War of Heroes, and he went into hiding to protect her. And by the time Flayn woke up, they were still in hiding, since Flayn tells Seteth that she never wants to live in secrecy again.

>>716286473
Probably. Rufus dies because Cornelia and maybe Edelgard has him killed, so Cornelia can frame Dimitri for murder, causing him to become a vagabond in his own lands. But in CF, Rhea retreats to Faerghus along with Dimitri. And since Dimitri is never framed for murder, Rufus must still be alive

>Byleth is forced into a coma for 5 years
>No matter which route you take everyone is stuck in a stalemate and it's only with the help of the Protagonist TM that the war shifts to a side.

The timeskip always bothered me. I really do find it hard to believe that no matter route you pick, the war still remains stuck and it's always 5 years regardless, no variation on time. And why 5 years? Why not just one year?

I also struggle to really think of how much the time skip really matters to make the story work. Sure it gives time for Rhea to be either imprisoned in Adrestia or seeking refuge in Faerghus. Sure it gives time for Dimitri to wander around as a fugitive, exhiled from his home country. But that's the only points I can think of, and I don't think you need 5 YEARS for that.

It really does feel like they added the timeskip and made it 5 years so then they can add romancing your students without making it feel weird.

>>716286758
Feel like the fanbase at large is fond of timeskips as its usually mentioned as an story plotpoint hope.
Best reason might be yet another attempt at copying FE5.

>>716286758
Well the implication is that all of the house leaders are around equivalent strength. So the tipping point is Byleth, since Byleth is what makes each house leader their best self. It's why whatever team Byleth is on wins, and why if Byleth is on no ones team, then they all fucking die at Gronder Field. Sans Edelgard who retreats to Enbarr so she can die in her throne room.

I finally killed the black knight(on hard). Ike decided to proc aether after mist had a lucky dodge from one of the spear dudes and after eating 2 luna's from BK

>>716285775
Makes me feel better as a guy who merely played AM and then never finished VW. Ironically, AM is the best portrayal of Edelgard since there she's just misguided instead of being led around by the nose by the people who helped ruin her life.
>>716285838
They still have tech tho. They have like computer monitors and shit in Shambhala. I guess you could argue they don't really understand any of it themselves and they're like the late stage galactic civilization in The Foundation. Really, one of Three Houses' biggest narrative shortcomings, and the reason why I'd still welcome additional content around it, is that the Agarthans are so underdeveloped. KT went and introduced literal morlocks who are the last vestiges of a pre-nuclear war civilization into FE and just did not flesh that idea out very much. 6 years later and it's still bonkers to me that FE would go in that direction at all. Fodlan will be a pretty enduring setting since for all the areas where it's underwritten it has plenty of weird ideas to set it apart from most fantasy settings we see nowadays.
I also think it's really hilarious how Agartha became associated with rightoid schizo shitposting shortly after 3H's release. Like retroactively the Agarthans now feel almost like an allegory for the kind of wignats that cling onto worshipping Norse gods as a rejection of Christianity, which they think is a Jewish conspiracy. You could already draw a pretty clear parallel to Fodlan having its indigenous beliefs displaced by a literal alien religion to Christianity spreading in Europe but it's only gotten funnier with time.

This is shockingly stupid and bizarre. Like I think Mojang has some weird and dumb design philosophies when they develope Minecraft, but this can make Mojang have a run for their money.

>>716286919
Okay but in the Jugdral games, the timeskip doesn't have the baggage of dealing with multiple routes so then players aren't wondering why so much time passes where things stay the same regardless of the route you take.

>>716287342

i want to see this dude's reaction to that interview

>>716287342
>This is shockingly stupid and bizarre

This happens like 50% of the time when you read dev interviews. Sometimes you'll get enlightened wisdom by a visionary attempting to bring the world of his imagination into a medium for all to partake in. And then other times you'll get several pages worth of nonsense. One of my favorite ones comes from Engage. Where they admit that there was no design philosophy behind the characters. They hired Pikazo to create like 50 character designs with ZERO context of who they are, where they're from, or what their role in the story is. So if you were wondering why you can't tell where these characters are from by looking at them. Or why Timerra has balls all over her. That's why. It's very funny.

>>716286758
The 5 year coma is contrived but a long stalemate doesn't feel that weird to me. You look at the Second Punic War where for a while Hannibal was stuck in Italy unable to capture any more major cities and the Romans were too weak to confront him directly and expel him. If you look at it broadly it might not feel like a whole lot moved in the American Civil War after the onset until near the end when the Confeferacy started falling apart. Or World War I. War can be like an arm wrestling match where for most of it not much is really changing but it suddenly ends because one of the participants lost just enough strength to decide the match. It's like that quote about going bankrupt very slowly and then all at once.

>>716287342
These are directors and a developer talking about how they designed Engage with the belief that tactical RPGs aren't as intuitively or immediately fun as action games in mind.

>>716287723
It still feels a little contrived that Edelgard and the Imperial army lost so much momentum when they were able to take Garreg Mach right away with both a fucking dragon and BlyatGod there.

The issue with the war stalemate is that the church is basically in shambles and Edelgard has the demonic beasts at her disposal.
Feel like this ws was made with CF in mind where she doesnt use them.

>>716287813
Tbf I doubt Houses overwhelming reception lies in its srpg elements.

>>716245550 (OP)
I'll buy a switch 2 3H2 if that comes out with special edition. Fire Emblem covers? That would be sick? Maybe waifu-fag the cover?

>>716287723
I kind of like how it characterizes each region a little bit. In most routes Edelgard takes half the Kingdom. But she has to rely on a lot of underhanded shit and compromise to do it. She had Dimitri framed for murder. She's knowingly allowing slavery in her lands. Thales owns Adrestian real estate.

The Kingdom is on the backfoot damn near every time. Because the Kingdom was already highly unstable before the war even started. But the ones loyal to the King are also really fucking stubborn so like 3 House Lords are able to stand against both the Empire and the other half of the Kingdom.

The Alliance are never on the same page. So Edelgard can't convince the Alliance to fight for her because they're too busy fighting each other.

>3houses 2
hope to god no

>>716287813
The first part is completely right though, tactical rpgs are not a genre most people can get into easily and find fun in. Which is why FE since Awakening has needed some extra ingredients to get those people to care in the first place.

>>716287723
Sure but given it only stops being a stalemate because of the protagonist waking up, it makes it weird and contrived that it requires Byleth to be there and makes other characters look incompetent or lacking of character agency.

It makes Claude look like a fraud that he requires Byleth help the same time frame that Dimitri has when Dimitri at least has the excuse of not being that knowledgable on tactics and being mentally ill. And even with Dimitri it makes his friends look helpless and incompetent that they're unable to try and talk to him and try and settle his problems.

member Dimitri's ghost

>>716288096
The reason for this is in tactical RPGs you need the characters to have TACTICAL OPTIONS and make them matter. Not just attack attack attack, that creates a dull and boring gameplay. How you attack should matter, not just that you attack.

>>716287813
This interview just proves that the devs know what they're talking about. SRPGs are the least popular genre precisely because you can't easily convince someone to play one, so you need a good hook. The part about not just removing challenge to pander to casuals also deepens my respect to IS desu.

>>716287834
Arguably she had something of an element of surprise with the attack on Gareg Mach. I'm not saying that it was an actual sneak attack but that her declaration of war caught the other powers off guard and they weren't able to immediately muster to their full strength and counter the attack on Gareg Mach effectively.
>>716287859
Really, the stalemate only exists because KT have an autistic fixation on Romance of the Three Kingdoms and they wanted to recreate that for 3H.

The stalemate isn't an issue. Edelgard took Garreg Mach through blitzkrieg and the element of surprise, which wasn't sustainable going into the longterm war effort.
The real issue is that whatever side you support is conveniently on the backfoot before Byleth comes back and singlehandedly saves the war effort. That and the whitewashing of whatever side you pick because God forbid the player be made to feel uncomfortable with their own actions.

>>716288364
>Not just attack attack attack
Good thing that this isn't what FE is.

>>716287986
You're missing the point. Adrestia has massive fuck-huge numbers, but the Kingdom has basically every Relic weapon. The reason the Kingdom has survived so long despite constant raids from Sreng and Duscur and being a poor-as-shit country is because of the strength of the Relics. Ingrid is a noble, but she can remember winters where she and her family would eat dirt and snow to survive winter. The reason she eats so much at the Academy isn't because it's a cute quirk, it's because she's experienced starvation before, and has a deep-seated fear of going without eating.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkMHV8kxh_E

Miklan stealing the Lance of Ruin isn't just some petty squabble, he was single-handedly about to bring down the entire Kingdom because without the Lance, Sylvain's father couldn't hold back Sreng. Sylvain trying to find new weaponry to hand to peasants and inventing "portable fire orbs" is because he knows once his father dies, he'll be the one responsible fighting back all of Sreng unless he can broker peace (which is nearly impossible, since Sreng is even worse off than Faerghus) or make it so even common infantry can hold them off without major casualties. Sylvain feels disgusted having a Crest because women want him for his seed, because it drove a wedge between him and his brother, and because he's going to have to kill thousands of people throughout his entire life in the name of duty to the Kingdom unless he can find another solution. He's born to be a killer, and that's fucked up.

So, when Edelgard has the sheer fucking audacity to say, "I believe in a world without Crests," the Kingdom hears, "I want you all to fucking die," because without Crests, there aren't any Relics, and without Relics, there isn't a Kingdom.

>>716288364
Yeah, no. That's not it at all otherwise FE wouldn't be the only Tactical RPG left standing. It has nothing to do with gameplay, at least not directly.

>>716287813
That kind of thinking is the case for basically an RPG? Nobody is playing the first battle of a game where you have a level 1 character with no skills, only one basic attack, the enemies can't do shit to you unless you're clinically retarded, and going around saying "man this gameplay is fucking fire", most people will say an RPG doesn't really get the ball rolling until a little bit into the game, everything in the beginning is basically just a tutorial

>>716245550 (OP)
God no. Please do not do more 3H stuff
I want Magvel 2 or Elibe 3 instead

>>716288543
The tutorial for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning defeats your premise. Go back to gen'ing Shamir with huge tits, thinking isn't your forte.

>>716287834
Well the problem is those fucking mountains in the middle. The Ogma Mountains means Edelgard marching her army through the mountains like Hannibal, where the Kingdom Army will be waiting at the bottom to eat them alive. The only valid way for her to actually attack the Kingdom is to

A. Frame Dimitri for murder, causing the Kingdom to fracture

Or

B. Declare war against Leicester, so she can take their bridge, and then go around the mountains.

>>716288587
There has never been a 3 of any FE continent. However, a Magvel 2 would be based.

>>716288635
>action RPG

@716288685
You said "an RPG", which means any RPG.

>>716288661
>There has never been a 3 of any FE continent
Awakening is TECHNICALLY Archanea 3. And also Valentia 2.

>b-but it's a thousand years apart
It's still based on the same continent with lots of references. Elibe 3 could do the same thing. Roys descendant is the protag etc

But then again that same logic could apply to 3H and justify giving it a sequel/prequel. Though people would still find a way to argue about the original game

>>716288802
>Awakening is TECHNICALLY Archanea 3
If we're going by that logic, Jugdral is Archanea 0 then.

Nah.
SS will be canon, and the intro will be immortal god king Byleth and his wife Rhea telling their dozens of children about the war of the godless emperor and how he personally bashed Edelgards head in

>>716288881
Fates is kinda Archanea 4/5 since it clearly takes place post awakening for that timeline's future kids.

>>716289009
She's the face of 3H, that's probably half the reason 3 Hopes was an alternate timeline instead of a direct sequel. Because they know she's the reason why a lot of people care about 3H. It's also why a sequel will never be made, they will never willingly canonize one of the routes. We'd either get a prequel or no Fodland at all.

>>716288925
in context,. edelgard was about to win, so dimitri was really just throwing himself at her to die at that point

>>716288115
>>716288448
Byleth being the one to tip the balance and rescue whatever side the player chose would be a much easier pill for people to swallow if Byleth had been allowed to be an actual character and not just a silent protagonist. I think it would immediately feel far less contrived if Byleth had any actual character flaws to balance out being the savior character.

>>716289093
Explain

I just want to be happy again

>>716289123
It also takes place pre-Awakening if the DLC is to be believed.

>>716289123
Fates is a seperate reality, the Awakening kids were summoned there.

>>716289186
It's like the second major kingdom-empire battle in CF and if Edelgard and her SS fall here the entire imperial war effort will probably collapse

>>716289203
It's why I'm thankful Hopes exists and made Byleth the Lu Bu of Fodlan.

>>716289186
Not really. Short of surrendering, which... no, Dimitri was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Dimitri acknowledges that Faerghus is too hard up on food to survive a seige. And so his best move would be to square up with Edelgard on the field. Since Edelgard was able to con him by skipping Fhirdiad and heading straight to Arianrhod. And then Arianrhod blew up. Apparently the church did that but nobody can explain why the church didn't just do that the Enbarr or even to Tailtean Plains? Really the biggest problem was the lack of coordination between the Kingdom army and the Church army.

The worst contrivance in 3H is everything regarding the mole people. They literally only exist to instigate and are removed from the plot as soon as is convenient. In a better story Edelgard consorting with them would have some sort of consequence but then she wouldn't have her perfect fantasy ending.

>>716289620
>Chilon

>>716289559

>>716289626
Well the problem is if they don't exist then 100% of the blame has to fall on Edelgard. Because how do you look at this thing and then present its creator as a hero? So you create a 3rd party that inspires all the instability in the land, that gives the Red Emperor you're playing as carte blanche to go nuclear

>>716289559
All the competent ones were killed in the Agartho-Nabatean Hyperwar.

>>716289604
Why are Severafags like this

>>716289745
Even with the moles, she is still 100% responsible for Jeritza murderhoboing innocents and being used as a living weapon, so obviously the writers didn't think this very thoroughly.

>>716289626
The idea is fine, it's the timetable that's fucked. 90 years ago there was the Holodomor, and today's revisionism is either downplaying or denying that it happened. Having the story begin 1,000 years in the past instead of less than 200 means that timetables are fucked. Nobody alive today remembers what went down in the Franco-Prussian War that lead to the German Empire, but we know Germany exists today. Nobody alive in Fodlan would know about the Leicester split from Faerghus if that happened 150 years ago, apart from the immortals.

>>716290031
It's Fire Emblem so I can see it. It wouldn't shock me if FE's autism rate was about as high as Sonic's

>>716289939
A lot of the writing choices really are "we thought this was interesting, but didn't bother putting together how it works out as a whole". It's like a little kid playing with action figures adding new lore whenever he wants to.

>>716289981
To the game's credit, they do explain that... sort of. Within abyss, after clearing Enbarr in VW/ SS there's a thief that will pass a message from Hubert. That Rhea is in Enbarr's basement and that Edelgard was intentionally keeping her alive for use against the Slitherers. What that means, I don't know. But presumably it implies that the Slitherers won't attack Enbarr because they're too afraid of The Immaculate One, so they continue to play ball during the war

>>716289934
Parental issues make her a slut and mommy's obsession with Chrom is why she's into Lucina; not because she's a lesbian but because it's just another way to try and get one over her perfect mother.

>>716290039
A romance betwen the heirs apparent of two different nations was always gonna end in tragedy

>>716290107
I mean if she's using Rhea against the Slitherers, then why does she go after the church first before the slitherers? And it's not like Crimson Flower makes it an indication that Edelgard wants to spare Rhea, though granted Rhea was beyond pissed and gone deranged into becoming Seiros.

>>716289835

>>716290261

Severa, moreso than any other FE girl, is made for big bandit cock

>>716290107
>>716290319
This is why I like Edelgard's character in Hopes more than in Houses. In Hopes, she uses the Knights to help her purge the Slithers out of Enbarr, and then begins plotting to siege the Monastery. She cleans her room before going outside in Hopes.

Severa was made for BIG LUCINA CLIT

>>716290441

>>716290441
SHE AIN'T GAY
SHE HAS RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEN
AND SEX WITH WOMEN

Oyakodon with Severa and her mother

>>716290319
So 2 things

1. There is dialogue where Edelgard at least entertains the idea of Rhea surrendering and banishing her forever. Although like you said, there's no universe where Rhea tolerate that after having her home burned down and Byleth tried to bludgeon her with her mother's skeleton

And

2. It's not that Edelgard is actively using Rhea against the Slitherers. It's that the Slitherers think she could use Rhea against them. Maybe. The thief doesn't explain exactly how Edelgard was going to do that. More importantly though is that Edelgard isn't interested in an alliance with either group. She wants both Naabatean and Agarthans gone. She just assumed that she could knock off the church and then knock off the Agarthans and then just win. Because she's stupid. There's no fucking way the other factions, but especially the kingdom, would tolerate that shit for long.

It's funny how dialogue added in DLC to try and clean up the plot just adds more issues.

>>716290421
Hopes Edelgard is kind of an inversion of Houses Edelgard. Because Houses Edelgard picks a fight with the Kingdom but domestically Adrestia is a dumpster fire. Meanwhile in Hopes, she's far stronger domestically, but in war she's trapped herself fighting on two fronts. Forcing an alliance with the most untrustworthy asshole that isn't Thales.

fuck this boss and this chapter

>>716290664
I do like in Hopes that once Edelgard goes babymode, even Jeralt is disgusted by how shitty the Empire's become due to them killing all of their good commanders and hiring bandits and mercenaries that just rape, loot, and pillage.

Just like Chrom and Cordelia. I'm pretty positive that the ship has as much traction as it does because it's a funny parallel to their parents. Though also pairing the nice, sincere, down to earth girl with the biggest cunt in the roster is also inherently funny. Either way, not the most serious ship.

>>716290813
What happens if everyone is gay and there are no child units to use?

>>716290803
Everything that happened after Babygard proved to me that there's no way Duke Aegir or Thales can pass a Turing Test. What even was the point of that?

>>716291042
yes
>>716291137
fuck no

>>716290961
No Edelgard means Adrestia has a power vacuum even worse than the Insurrection of the Seven. The point was that Thales creates his own problems and dies in the end because of it, while Duke Aegir profited off of other people's suffering but was totally out of touch with the people he was demanding taxes from (think Lysithea's paralogue with Ferdinand in Houses).

There should be no gays in FE
Heterosexuality shall be enforced by the sword

>>716291015
There was most certainly more variety for Lucina back when Awakening was new. It's just that most everyone has moved on from it by now so only the tumblrinas and yuritroons are left.

>>716291193
I'll still Chrom them especially if lesbian. They just need dicking and a father figure to give them the love they really missed out in development phase.

Bro, Mercedes is gay

I wanted a Sothis route where the Nabateans are center stage

>>716292532
Mercedes gets a pass

I wanted an Arval route where the Agarthans are center stage

>>716292532
Does she marry any female outside of Beresu?

>>716292631
>A literal tranny.

>>716292631
moles will never be more than a shitty plot device and way to make the very worst shit not be Els fault

>>716292532
so are cannelloni until you stick your dick inside

>>716292646
No. Interestingly tho in the JP version in her A support with Annette she asks if Annette is confessing. Which she denies ofc. For real tho I don't like yuri but Mercedes x Byleth/Annette gets a pass from me

>>716292646
No. But that doesn't make her less gay

>>716292646
Do you think yurifags give a shit about what characters are actually like? All they care about is their gay sex no matter how nonsensical it is.

I think jill and mist where cute desu. it was atleast memorable that jill had unique conversation with her father that changed based on if she has an A-support (which she can only achieve with mist that fast, due to supports building by deploying by map in tellius)

>>716292910
I mean, almost everyone doesn't care about what the character they want to fuck is like anyways

>>716292836
Ideally it'd be a three way with Annette included

>>716293116
I care about Shamir, I wouldn't want to fuck her otherwise

Kill Raul.
