| Topic | SaveEstelle/LeonhartFour in Different Houses: Far From Houses Edition [SELF] |
| LeonhartFour 07/26/19 9:48:09 PM #65: | Eh, let's go with Apparently, our hero Byleth is allowed some inner monologue since he's not actually speaking aloud. Like myself a moment ago, he points our a good and bad feature of the three houses people, although the fact that he senses darkness within Dimitri made him sound a heck of a lot cooler. Either way, that's the end of the prologue, and now we're moving on to Chapter 1 proper. We get a fancy mural as the narrator explains the setting of the game. Oh hey, it's the crazy lady from the intro cutscene, and her name is Rhea, it seems. She's the archbishop of Seiros, which is the major religious organization in Fodlan, which would make her like the high priest of the Church of Glabados in FFT. Will a religious organization be obviously evil in this JRPG, too? Stay tuned! For what it's worth, Jeralt does warn me to be on guard against Rhea, so that's already a strike against it! So Byleth actually is Jeralt's son. I thought it was a joke answer because they look nothing alike, but alas! Apparently, Byleth has been chosen to be the new professor for Defense Against the Dark Arts. I wasn't expecting this slice of epic life to have me be the teacher rather than the student. I like this new twist, especially as we seek to discover how a silent protagonist can teach a class. Manuela doesn't leave much to the imagination, introducing herself as "available" from the get go, and Hanneman looks like he should be in a Sherlock Holmes story. He also clearly has the same VA as Igor/Ikutsuki from Persona and I can't not hear them when he speaks. Manuela used to belong to an opera company. Vita? Is this where you went after the end of Cold Steel II? Thankfully, they explain a bit more about the Three Houses, but now I have family crests to take into consideration. Edelgard's Adrestrian Empire is represented by a black eagle. Dimitri's Holy Kingdom of Faerghus is represented by a blue lion. Claude's Leicester Alliance is represented by a golden deer with an impossible number of antlers. The blue lion looks like the coolest of the three at a glance. There's mention that it was a great fire 21 years before that caused Jeralt to disappear in the first place. I'm sure that'll pop up again at some point...! There's an animated cutscene showing off that we will have a very colorful cast awaiting us as the game progresses. With all that being done, I can finally move around and explore. The game conveniently provides a map showing where everyone is, like Cold Steel, but it also indicates if they have something new to say, which is extremely handy. Good work, Three Houses. --- ...
