I really enjoyed Claude's politics and ambitions, but the game is not very clear on how he is actually going to achieve these goals. He comes off as a bit of a reactionary, where he basically needs someone to start a war so he can come in, save the day, and restore order.
I've been playing Golden Deer on normal so I've being grinding support ranks a bit. I'm on chapter 12 with 62 hours so far lol.Finished the BE E game in 44hrs. Didn't really feel like I rushed all that much. I really don't know how people are getting their playthroughs to be 60-80hrs.
I was thinking the same thing this entire time. The whole second half of the route comes off as reactionary to be honest.
Just feels like he got lucky that Edelgard started a war so he could swoop in an unite Fodlan like that because there was no way it was happening otherwise. I feel like Claude is a guy with big ideas but never enough on how to actually carry these ideas out.
I don't understand how to deal with mages at the beginning of the game. There's no safe way to attack them, and they always seem to be able to take out 2/3 of my HP. Even if I take one out, the surrounding soldiers can finish me off.
Starting to regret classic mode.
It's funny because the game actually calls him out on thiswhen whatsherface is taken aback and asks him if his plan once they get in the fortress is literally "rely on Byleth", which it is. He was able to scheme his way into the fort by relying on Hilda, but had no actual plan for taking on the Death Knight.
Just got to the time skip in NG+, and anyone that says Blue Lions is the best house is actively wrong.
Emo Dimitri suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkksssssssssss.
And if Dedue is actually dead, then fuck this route.(I don't think he's actually dead)
Question about the Dedue Paralogue in BL.
Am I somehow supposed to not kill anyone but the Duscar commander?
Defeat as many as possible and save the commander for last. The goal is to defeat at least most of them.
But, these are people the Kingdom basically committed genocide against. I thought the whole point of going was because Dimitri didn't want that much bloodshed...

You're not killing them when you defeat them, but sparing them and making them retreat. If the neutral kingdom army kills them, however, they die. So your objective is to prevent as much of that as you can by defeating them first.
Me towards the end of BL, after I finished GD: "God I'm so burnt out after doing 2 routes, maybe I should..."Me towards the end of GD: "Man I'm feeling kinda burnt out. Maybe I should take a break before BL..."
Me at the end of GD: "FUCK YEAH LET'S GO BLUE LIONS HYPE"
I did Crimson Flower in 60 hours, and it didn't feel like I was going particularly slowly. I never replayed maps or anything. just wandered around the monastery during every explore period, did some sightseeing, watched basically every combat animation. the game has a nice atmosphereFinished the BE E game in 44hrs. Didn't really feel like I rushed all that much. I really don't know how people are getting their playthroughs to be 60-80hrs.
Still pretty confused on the ending though. Who was the mother? Crests are literally embedded into people? Was Byleth some sorta experiment? Gotta say I loved the little ending stories based on who lived and loved.
So
I ended up going with the church route. Everyone got on my case because they said Edelgard was in the right by wanting to rid the world of inequality caused by houses and crests, and that Rhea was an evil overlord. But at the end of my route, both Edelgard and Rhea were dead, the cult was destroyed, Petra instated a new leader to Brigid, I took over everything and established an era of lasting peace, Seteth overhauled the church curriculum to teach tolerance and equality, and Hanneman got rid of Crest inequality, and I didn't even have to partner with a cult and stage a coup that claimed thousands of lives, Edelgard.
Gotta train that heavy armor.Ferdinand, for the love of God, join my house. It's been six months.
One of my biggest beefs with a series so obsessed with "permadeath" is how the writers decide who actually lives and dies "in the story" no matter who falls on the battlefield or not."Despite being completely cornered with my hp at 0, I still have plot relevance so I must retreat for now!" sure does get annoying after a while.
What are those glowing spaces do and are they exclusive to the GD? I just beat the BL route and this is my first time seeing these.
Is there any penalty for getting a character K.O? Or do they just leave the battlefield?
On casual? Well they miss out on EXp from the rest of the fights they might have gotten into. Other than that? Nothing.Is there any penalty for getting a character K.O? Or do they just leave the battlefield?
Unless you're referring to the green units (allies), in which case you generally get better rewards if you keep them all alive.
All of the real monsters are in Golden Deer, unless you get RNG screwed at level up. Even then, they still have great abilities to compensate.Next up is Golden Deer. This class already seems to have a more likeable group of students than the Black Eagles, though I don't know if my BE crew can be topped in terms of combat potential -
Dorothea and don't recruit Ferdinand. There's a line in the game that's just really damn good that comes from that combination.Who should I recruit into GD? I like to keep my roster fairly small so that I don't have too many sitting on the bench. For BE-C I only recruited Lysithea, since she supported with Edelgard and got me a paralogue.

Online feature.Playing online, its where other players have died. Gives rusted weapons/experience.
Blame Nintendo or God.
Yeah, it was shown in the E3 trailer. Would've been an awesome surprise but to be honest had they not shown it, I don't think the game would've gotten the same turnaround in prerelease reception as it did.Was the time skip shown during trailers or something? I barely watched any of this game before release.
It kinda sucks how openly it's talked about because it would have been an awesome "oh shit!" moment if you didn't know about it, especially for BL and Dimitri.
