Ugh I was going to post this one. So damn precious. Marianne is the best.
Oh shit. Thank you for the spoiler, friend. I just started playing yesterday. Entering this thread was my mistake. I deserve this.
Those were revealed by Nintendo in a trailer, during the E3 direct no less. If it's in a trailer it's really not a spoiler honestly.
But yeah, if you want to be completely blind then you probably shouldn't be browsing a fan art thread.
edit: just noticed the art is also from before the game even released, so that's drawn from said trailer as well.

Lmao, look at that upside down Claude, hahaha.
That's been heavily marketed. It's like complaining about someone spoiling the time skip in Ocarina of Time.
Not everyone watches all the trailers for games and movies for that exact reason, we don't want to be spoiled on things that we are already going to play.
Then get off the internet altogether. You can't get mad at people for discussing and making/posting art without spoiler warnings for things marketing has deemed okay.
With that logic people wouldn't be able to talk about anything past the initial trailer of media properties, which is dumb. If you want to go on complete blackout that's on you, but it's fair game to talk about if it's been in officially released trailers by the developers.
By that logic if The empire strikes back had the luke/darth vader reveal in the trailer it would be ok to spoil it? BTW i agree that it was on JinFash for going into a thread with fanart and not knowing that he could be spoiled, i just think people are not courteous to others who don't want to be spoiled at all. I wasn't spoiled on the time skip and i knew i was getting 3 housed day one
The people who make movie/game trailers are not always the same people who made said movie/game, i'm sure the developers would rather people find out the cool/interesting stuff first hand as it's intended rather than told to the viewer without context
Of course it would be okay to spoil that. It wouldn't be a spoiler, it would be something that they're using to get you to see the film.
If it's being marketed, then it isn't a spoiler. If it were, than literally any information about any media ever would count as a spoiler. Spoilers are things that you aren't supposed to know before you begin the media.
Yes, yes it would. In fact Vader being Luke's father was actually revealed years before the film was released.
So if it's not a spoiler what is it when i'm told information about a piece of media when i didn't want to be told? Honest question is it not called being spoiled?
That article is nuts if true, i always heard how tight lipped they were about the luke and vader thing, down to telling cast members a different reveal about obiwan being the one who killed lukes dad

This is canon, I have seen their A+ support.
The little feral Dimitri foaming at the mouth on the first page is crazy acurate by the way.
So is this.

I've successfully avoided most trailers/marketing and all directs. I have no idea where it falls within the story. If it's as early as the OoT time-skip then I'll be alright. However, a little less defensiveness and understanding would have been appreciated.
Annoying when you're not at the time skip and you didn't even know there was a time skip yet people keep talking about it and posting designs
Sorry for derailing the thread, not sorry for posting non-spoilers.
Anyhoo, this *could* be considered a spoiler, but it's dope.

Ah yeah enough of the spoiler-not spoiler chat. (I wrote responses below before seeing it was basically a derail.)
Yeah I mean some people were talking about it the week of release. That was infuriating.
I was on full blackout, as I do with most shit. Find that I enjoy them a hundred times more if I do so.
That there was a timeskip was shown in trailers pre release. It was therefore open game for discussion. If you were on blackout, you shouldn't have been in threads on the game.
I love when you return a lost item and the person you returned it to is like "oh hey thanks! Uh...how did you know this was missing?"
I like to picture Byleth just sneaking into everyone's room at night, stealing random stuff to "find" later

Its literally in all the promotional material for the game, youre not on full blackout if you are coming into threads about the game. This has been known for months and actively promoted by Nintendo

If you were, you weren't on blackout. What -- you expect people not to talk about trailers in threads on a game? Talk about unrealistic. Sorry, but you erred. Blackout means avoiding anything on a game, not hanging out with people who aren't on blackout and are actively discussing promotional material.
I don't really care enough to go deep here, but might as well lay out my perspective:
- I was and still am on blackout
- I didn't watch any trailers or read any articles, thus had no idea about a significant plot/design point (the timeskip)
- I entered a thread about fan art
- note neither the thread title nor OP have spoiler warnings (other fanart threads do have spoiler warnings/fanart in spoiler tags)
- some of this fanart turned out to be about said significant plot/design point
Yes, you're correct that it clearly wasn't and isn't a secret pre/around launch. But I didn't know that. Hence my posts in this thread.
More importantly, it sounds like the kind of thing which maybe should have been a secret. It would have been a wild surprise if none of us saw it coming.
I'm not at that part of the game yet, but if a timeskip happened and I had no idea it was coming, I'd be blown away. (This is why I go on blackout.)
It'd certainly blow people away, but you have to look at this from a marketing perspective: until the E3 trailer where it was revealed, people were constantly fretting about Three Houses being a school sim. It was necessary to show the game's major conceit — the timeskip — which the school portion sets up for dramatically and emotionally, in order to bring everyone on board.
If they'd kept people in the dark, it would've made for a massive surprise for many, but at the same time a lot of people wouldn't have gotten it to begin with. Which is more important?
