So Chapter 1 on Maddening has all of the enemies at level 7 or 8 and everyone has the +4 dex bonus. Neat.

Damn, just finishing my third playthrough (GD).

Guess i'll do a final BE-E run on maddening.

The change in the title screeb would be only from new playthroughs and not new game+?

Very glad I didn't shell out for this pass
Cool about the free difficulty at least

Female Byleth's design is pretty bad, & the only thing holding Male Byleth back was his voice. It kinda makes the prospect of Byleth in Smash a Pick-Your-Poison scenario for me.

I'll hold out for story-related DLC, but I'm stoked to have new voice work for Guyleth. Not only is Niosi a creep, his performance was not good.

I'm also waiting the story DLC to get the season pass but I might get it for the 3rd wave, depending on what's being added.
I can't do another playthrough this month, there's too much games I want to play, already did BL and Church routes.

I wish I could make my avatar and allies wear their class outfits. I want to run around the monastery in my Hero armor.

So like, everybody is going to recruit Lysethia, right? Hahaha.

Because I cannot envision any other way to actually counter constantly moving Death Knight with upgraded stats right now, lol, especially during your first encounter with him

Edit: wait, he is now immune to Dark Spike's bonus damage? How the hell can you deal with him then? hahaha.

yo no joke fire emblem but a sports anime would be so dope

I'm imagining a tournament side story spanning the entire game that becomes more intense than the main game, as with Yakuza side activities.

Each of the
zombie 10 elites would head a team, ending with Nemesis and you can recruit Maurice to your side in beast or skeleton form.

No seriously, I can't even begin to imagine any method to reliably counter Death Knight right now, hahah.

Any ideas? Just rushing through to the enemy's commander, I guess and hope for the best? Damn.

Holy crap is Maddening hard on NG. It might actually be fully designed for NG+, which would totally fucking blow. This is totally not what I was expecting, and almost certainly not what I wanted. Seems so much more difficult in the early game than the highest difficulty of Conquest or Awakening.
