It can be posted two days prior the release of the game, up to the OT maker when to create the thread

blazing blade picks up pretty much immediately after lyns story
The base game was even easier than other recent Kirby games due to the AIs and the wide simple stages designed around them. It got tons of great free post-launch support though, including what's basically an actual challenging endgame.
I recommend awakening. It's nice starting point and relatively easy.
If you really enjoy the gameplay, Conquest takes the gameplay to a whole new level. But if you care for story, it isn't the game to get.
Echoes is also another good start. Better story then awakening (not that it's saying much) but it's the first game to be fully Voiced and it's amazingly done
43min: Japanese previews supposedly say that in terms of map design complexity: Golden Deer -> Blue Lions -> Black Eagles.
45min: Hard mode has no grinding.
Kind of important points.
we knew about hard mode, but I missed that Japanese thing, that implies BE are the worst maps right not the other way around?
I have never understood the rancor people have for the way she looks.
F!Byleth is a little bit wonky looking, but she's not freakish or anything, just a smidge unconventional. Very round face.
I can get not liking the outfit but that can be changed.
There is no fixing Male Byleth's atrocious hair.
i only take issue with her art on the cover art and in that cutscene where she gets up from the table to walk out the door. in both instances she looks freakishly alien.
aside from that she looks decent enough in game and in other cutscenes we've seen
How will they limit grinding? No optional/repeating missions?
Interesting about map complexity.
Male Byleth's hair is atrociously average. lol He's very bland looking.
My main problem between the two is female Byleth's bug eyes. That isn't going to be changed. I wish they'd stop trying to make the female equivalent look cutesy. It kind of backfired here.
Male Byleth looks to much like a girl to me, with his slender face and effeminate features. I actually like the way the female version looks better. Not so much in the previously posted comparison shot, but in motion they both look fine and I prefer the female version.
I still hate the floppy sleeves both of them have in exploration mode - I hope that's an outfit that can be changed!

On Normal Mode, you can choose to do Auxiliary Missions that don't have any Activity Point cost. On Hard, all maps cost Activity Points, so you can only do a finite amount.
Ah, that's a bummer. Hope it's not a significant quality gap.
Yeah. Normal has 1 mission every week you can run as many times as you want.
I was wondering that. Maybe those optional battles on weekends (not month end) are only available on normal. But then paralogues showed up in those slots right?
Also, no mention of lunatic at this point means probably not in the game or at least not unlocked at start.

Jesus christ I hate how F!Byleth looks. Screw the links I'm playing male.
Are these Aux missions unlimited? I'm typically very particular about wanting to max out as many supports as possible, and that usually means grinding.
I really like M!Byleth design to be honest. F!Byleth is fine, could've been better. At least we can change outfits.
To clarify: on hard mode, I can either do a mission OR explore and do a seminar, etc? On Normal, I can do a battle whenever I want and ALSO explore, do a seminar?
It's the same hair as Asahi from Final Fantasy XIV. It's unforgivable.
No, on normal you can either do battles or explore or Seminars and within the battles, there will be an unlimited option for battles.
To further clarify, battles work on a different gauge than exploring, the venture gauge
On Normal, they effectively are, since you can do them endlessly before moving on.
Both versions look fine to me, really. I prefer having these locked appearances over the custom avatars, anyway.
Male Byleth's design is pretty great, honestly. I think the coat's a little dumb, but the design is fine. It's almost a shame he's a mute protagonist.
Something's just off on Miss Byleth. The outfit is one thing, but her face is just kinda weird. I think it says a lot that M Byleth was the pre-order reward for Heroes.

Honestly everyone is complaining about the silent protag thing, but from what we've seen there have been a good amount of funny choices in dialogue, so as long as the choice options remain good, it won't be too bad. The main character of Devil Survivor 2 has yet to be surpassed in terms of funny dialogue options though
No, it seems to be the same for both in that regard. But you're choosing every weekend — multiple times a month — so it isn't such a big deal.
I had hoped we could, but doing a quick search it seems that's not the case.
Looks like I'm stuck with those floppy sleeves.
not the biggest fan of female Byleth's design but will have to pick her in my first playthrough...the male options for M Byleth don't interest me.
But we've seen Byleth in different outfits. And the pre-order includes an outfit...
Byleth will have access to multiple outfits. The first wave of the expansion pass DLC are alternate academy uniform outfits for them.
M Byleth is the preorder reward because youre going to spend all your orbs on F Byleth when shes on a regular banner as the new powercreep sword unit
Okay, that's great news - no idea what this article I found was talking about then. Thanks!
I think it was talking about the fact that you can't change things like the eye colur, hair and so on.
Probably just the fact that Byleth's physical features (hair, face) can't be customized.
I can't find any info on pre-order bonuses - is that only for eshop orders?
I think there's some confusion. I haven't seen anything about a preorder bonus costume.
The expansion pass has four waves of planned content. The first wave, which releases at launch, is just an alternate uniform for Byleth.
Okay, thanks - I thought I was going crazy, I couldn't find any mention of a pre-order bonus, outside of a Pin if you pre-order form Gamestop specifically.
Do we know when the first wave of DLC is coming with a new costume? Day one or further out than that...? EDIT: Looks like it's coming day 1 actually. I may have to invest in the season pass after all.
This makes sense, thanks!
The first DLC, which is just the costume, should be available at launch. The other three waves, which feature more substantial content, will be released periodically every two-three months after, with the last (featuring new story content, playable characters, and locations) coming no later than April of next year.
I feel like this game and Luigi's Mansion 3 are going to be the Switch GOTY this year.
Man that thing about the three Houses potentially having a large gap in map quality is really bumming me out :( my poor Black Eagles...
