I'd also like to know!

Also on the subject of potentially silly questions, can anyone explain specifically what supports do in this game? Near as I can figure their bonuses are all rolled in to the linked attack perks, but is there a breakdown of what rank gives what benefit? And do they affect anything besides that?

That just shows you what your overall stat total currently is and what it will become if you class change. Not really relevant when you can just push ZR and actually see the stats (and then push X to scroll through the changes).

The benefit is right there next to each character (which seems to be different depending on the support)

So, DLC speculations

How cool would it be if the cast of the DLC was made up of children characters from clear data? I've been trying to think of how that could work, since theres so many different endings and pairings, I guess it would have to be somewhere other than fodlan, with just a quick text blurb about the current state of the world.

Ive been through this game three times, stealing everything with amiibo bonuses

I've never seen a master key

Also ugh. People who hate children in fire emblem are just fire emblem's version of gen wunners. If its DLC and actually set in the future, theres no reason to hate the kid mechanic. Then you're just being grumpy.

I don't think that would've mattered anyway. IIRC you're just kinda thrust into that battle without preparation (which would be why so many concoctions and antivenins are winnable). And since every other battle so far gives you access to Anna, I guess I've never felt the need to stockpile keys in the convoy (though tbh I completely forgot you can always get stuff from the convoy and didn't check, since I've literally never needed to do so mid-battle).

I beat Edelgard's route.

Man that last battle is long. The last two chapters are really intense.

Paired endings:

Byleth/Dorothea
Edelgard/Bernadetta
Petra/Linhardt

I had wanted to romance Edelgard, but didn't realise I was so close to the end and didn't support her fast enough and had to settle lols. This may well have been asked but what triggers the non-Byleth paired endings? I got plenty of characters to max support rank that did not pair off.

I am now realizing the horror of Blue Lions that lances don't get you jack shit in Advanced Class if you don't have a horse, and I have multiple characters who can't advance up in anything nor are they close at level 20.

Yeah the way the game bottlenecks you into certain weirdly non-linear classes is so bad. Like the fact that there's nothing for pegasus knights to do between intermediate and master. In your first playthough it creates the illusion of freedom but on subsequent playthroughs it becomes clear its one of the most restrictive classing systems fire emblem has seen in a long time.

On the plus side, letting us dismount makes all those calvary/pegasus knights way better than they otherwise could be. Now I can play my units like infantry, and switch to flying/horse when it's needed which is usually 2 times a map max.

At the beginning of the game when Seteth is listing all the saints and Flayn jumps right in with her own name, and then coyly asks which saint Byleth likes the most might be the purest moment in any video game to date imho

Why do we collectively have to do this thing where everyone who disagrees with one's opinion is just an angry loser who doesn't want anything to ever change?

Three Houses is the least-FE FE game ever and almost everyone loves it. No weapon triangle, every class can use every weapon, complete freedom over classes, new ways to recruit, battalions and combat arts, and a big 3D environment to explore with mini-games. All stuff that's getting little to no pushback, if not near-universal praise.

But no, if someone doesn't like the kid mechanic they're just a bitter grump that's stuck in the past. I respect your dissenting opinion on that, but you can go kick rocks with this other shit.

This is the first time I've ever cared about characters in an FE game ever for reason besides aesthetics.

I definitely liked the kids mechanic a lot in Awakening (less in Fates) for it's own reasons, but this game flourishes for not having it, and for establishing the full cast upfront, and not having final shoehorned in supports devoted to being generic filler to mix and match between characters.

As a fun bonus DLC? Sure. But I don't want the mechanic to come back. It's limiting. It hurt Fates a good bit, even if it was great in Awakening.

Eh, they could certainly do it well again. But it'd be better with some limitations (can't pair everyone with everyone) and better story justification.

Having the full cast present from the start is great though, yes. Superior to every previous FE game in that respect. Almost all the FEs are bad about having you recruit characters so they're important in one chapter and then they just disappear after that. The Monastery makes them feel like they're still part of the plot, and I like that the main 8 from your house appear in all the cutscenes.

Like, I don't give a shit about Ignatz (yet), but I'm glad he's there. I'm glad I can talk to him. Recruiting was never any good.

Sleepy boy is never great, though. Same exact character through every support, never changes. Only loser of the group so far that I have actually interacted with.

Though yeah I don't have high hopes for Ignatz....but look how Sylvain turned out!

Given that the students and faculty/knights are in so many cutscenes, does that mean no one really dies in Classic mode? Like instead they just get injured and retreat from all future battles or something?

From what I've heard, they just retire if they die before the timeskip, like important characters in previous FE games.

Not sure about post-timeskip.

This. Hell, Im one of the biggest purists around, and even Im enjoying FE16. I just really hate nonsense like LOL FE13 CHARACTERS BACK FOR THE SEQUEL BECAUSE POPULARITY POLLS or LOL POCKET DIMENSIONS WHERE EVERYONE IS IMMORTAL AND CAUSALITY ITSELF TAKES IT UP THE ASS DAILY.

I'm fine with kids as a concept but the way they were done in Awakening and (especially) Fates just brought out all the worst elements of those games for anyone who cared even a little about playing them to their potential. I'm very happy to be rid of them while simultaneously gaining what's probably the actual best means of army customization the series has ever seen.

It goes by the Close Ally ranking found in the Notes section. If you're trying to get specific pairings, the safe bet is the make sure the pair you want gets their A Rank first.
