Fire Emblem Three Houses (Spoiler Thread)

I am the self-proclaimed Archbishop, I am the vioce of the Goddess!!!

Ok Archsage is better. Also should have Dimitri gotten a Horse? He would be broken as a Knight Lord like Quan or Ephiram.

Also I ship Judith and Nader. Who is with me?

My guess is that Agartha is the name of their country, which is underground and not known to the surface dwellers. Even Hubert, who actually knows about them, only refers to them as "those who slither in the dark"; this is the same name used in the Shadow Archive. Hence, Rhea never calls them Agarthans because she hasn't heard the name "Agarthan".

According to the developer interview, Rhea doesn't completely ban technologies permanently, just temporarily. The idea is that humanity once advanced too fast, which led to orbital bombardments and Sothis going into a coma. This time, Rhea wants technology to advance more gradually so that society remains more stable and new tech can be properly integrated.

The archive mentions telescopes being banned, yet Hanneman has a telescope in his lab. Dissections are also on the list of banned technologies, but Manuela has a detailed anatomical dummy in the infirmary, one that could only have been made with knowledge gained from dissection. Evidently, at some point between the writing of that document and the time the game is set, Rhea decided that society had advanced enough for telescopes and dissection to be made available.

That is not a meme. A meme is an idea. The thing you linked is a remixed comic. (The incorrect idea that the comic is a meme, is a meme).

Gremory is the name of a male demon, so it can reasonably be applied to men.

I suspect they're both married.

Well, Dimitri already works pretty well as a Paladin and Bow Knight. I'm not entirely sure what a Knight Lord could have done for him that would have been different enough (mind, that didn't stop them from making Edelgard's classes, but still).

Well that does support the hypothesis that she was a child during the war(let's call it the Race war) or not born yet.

Do you mean the apparatus below the Floor or am I missing something? Manuela has the Mannekin with an dagger on the forehead, something the book called an tabuu. The Oil stuff seems to be actually banned, but then again we have a lot of gambits that work with explosives. The devs mentioned that the reason for these bans are a secret yet, so they might explore it in the future.

Gremory however appears as a Woman and rides an Camel and it also rekindles love within Old Women or Women in General.

Nader x Judith needs to be canon.

Official Soundtrack art with Sothis and Rhea is pretty.

There’s an official soundtrack now? :D

Here. It'll be out on February next year. Around 8 hours of music, includes some songs from past titles that were unlocked with amiibo, and a ton of goodies like a DVD, a booklet with illustrations, postcards and a music box that plays The Edge of Dawn (the latter two are only for the limited edition, of course).

That's Sweet!

Off topic: I am into the idea that Antti Martikainen's track "Barbarossa" is Claude's/Khalid's true battle theme.

Apparently it says "Always with you" at the top of the new image. Thats the shortened version if I recall what Inheard.

It's nice to actually see Sothis and Rhea interact even if it's just art for a music track.

Great to see the Ashen Wolves getting some love.

I wonder if it will be released abroad. People keep saying CDs are obsolete, but Nintendo did release the Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition Collector's Set with the soundtrack on an actual record, so who knows.

The real question is: will it reveal the lyrics of God Shattering Star? SoV's soundtrack did reveal the lyrics of Lord of a Dead Empire, so it could happen again.

Kronya: The lyrics are-" gets her heart ripped out. "

GSD needs some lyrics, because it's the perhaps most defining song of the setting and shows us how Fódlan's bloody history ends.

Oh shit, I have an essay on Capitalism due in 5 days.

So here's the fastest way to start a convo.... hey guys is Edelgard's meritocracy show how good or bad capitalism is?

I feel Edelgard is the closest to a capitalist between Dimitri and Claude.

Edited by RedHunter543 on Sep 26th 2020 at 1:25:43 PM

Edelgard's only concerned with how people acquire political power and doesn't seem to care much about economic systems.

Dimitri hates the idea of the strong trampling the weak, so he's probably anti-capitalist.

Isn't like capitalism like a system where you are encouraged to look out for yourself and accumulate as much money as possible without much ethical concerns or oversight?

That sounds something like a meritocracy. I think we all agree Dimitri is the closest to a socialist. Not sure if it's national socialism though.

Come to think of it, Claude is the only lord with a an idea on economics. He wants open trade.

Edited by RedHunter543 on Sep 26th 2020 at 1:33:26 PM

None of the characters would care about capitalism, because it doesn't exist in their world. Mercantilism is the usual economic model for late feudal societies.

That said, I think all three Lords would take a dim view of unregulated capitalism. Market regulation would be a natural impulse for all of them, given that they grew up in authoritarian cultures (even if they don't agree with them, none of them show inclinations towards outright egalitarianism and unregulated society).

Trade can act as a stabilizing force between countries, and a vehicle for cultural exchange.

Oh, Claude would definitely be for trade. But unregulated trade that results in corrupt nobles being replaced by corrupt magnates, no way.

Speaking off, I’ve read somewhere that port towns tend to be quite rich thanks to foreign trade.

Like Hong Kong.

Man, imagine how rich Goneril territory will be when trade opens up with Almyra.

Edited by RedHunter543 on Sep 26th 2020 at 1:52:41 PM

Trade isn't Capitalistic onto itself at all as many Communist countries have engaged in trades like Cuba.

Claude is the only one with an economic idea and as Japan has shown us, it's beneficial for the Continent and unlike Imperial Japan, Byleth can teach the people of Fódlan to not repeat the history of old. Claude wanted something similar to Edelgard, but by using Diplomacy, faith and his cunning schemes instead of Military power.

Claude is the only one who had goals beyond Fódlan, Dimitir and Edelgard only stay in their country.

Fódlan would basically increase in economy and also see a huge boom that could increase the standard of living like in the Middle ages and Modern day but without slavery.

Hey if the whole Doctrine with no Peaceful interaction with Foreigners is true,Rhea would be not only a racist, but an Massive Hypocrite and insult her Mother, because the Goddess herself is an Foreigner.

Let that sink in.

Edited by Tropetalker on Sep 26th 2020 at 8:26:13 PM

Despite her vast experience, Rhea isn't good at considering the consequences of her actions.
