Fire Emblem Three Houses (Spoiler Thread)

Well before Edelgard she was the base-breaker as she sided(unwillingly) with the bad guys and the fact that she had an hate-stink for Ike in his role to save the world, because Daein suffered in the end.

When I think about Tellius and Fódlan right now, I would like to see Eagle Laguz and an new group of Laguz called the Herd clan, who are compromised of Sheeps, Goats, Bulls, Deers and... Elephants.

oh yeah Byleth can learn magic with their final Class I forgot to mention it. Still Micaiah is a pure magic user and the first of her kind, though I think she should have been an dark mage.

Thus Micaiah is the only purely magic using Lord, though I think Dark Magic should have been hef niche, because of her association with the goddess Yune and the fact that it would make her an heavier hitter at the cost of a lot of speed and some accuracy.

I really wanted Spider, Bats, and Scorpion animal shifters.

Regarding bats, they could function as the vampires in a FE game who drink blood and similarly to the gerons have an form of magic unique to them and can use dark magic. They are beings of pure chaos and gameplay-wise weak to Light magic.

I'd definitely like to see some more beasts. Thus far we've got cat, tiger, lion, wolf, hawk, raven, heron, rabbit, fox, wolf. And I guess dragons, though they don't always count. Anything other than a mammal or bird would be neat. I see no reason why there couldn't be some beast-formers somewhere in Fodlan.

x2 Remember that whole "Castlevania Emblem" thing that was circulating before Three Houses was officially revealed? What you're describing sounds kinda like that.

Let's have monitor lizards, elephants, rhinos, Tyrannosauruses, Triceratopses, Shaochilongs, Deinonychuses, Deinocheiruses, Titanosauruses... Basically I think that dinosaurs should appear in a Fire Emblem game.

It's possible that Claude's half-siblings come form previous wueens who've died.

If they were, then Claude would likely not have been the heir apparent.

Claude only becomes the favoured heir after proving himself in Fodlan. The Almyra nsuccession system doesn't seem to have a specific inheritance hierarchy. It's like many historical countries where the emperor chooses which of his sons gets the throne.

Also helps that it was his ulterior motive for getting everyone to rally around Byleth as the new leading figure. Having a close ally on the throne that was also going to promise to follow through with ending their not quite a war yet-war.

So kinda like meritocracy?

Claude seemed to be all for meritocracy in his Heroes video.

Claudes dialogue even all but says its merit based, but you still have to be of royal blood to be eligible. Cause merit and bloodlines are not separate things.

Thinking about how Almyra has an problem with creating Many orphans and training young people to fight on an early age, don't you think it's an double standard to condemn them for this, while Garreg March exists and once Glenn?

Yeah, Fire Emblem has always had some weird protagonist centered morality at times. We already heard the usual arguments about Edelgard, Rhea executing people, or the ethics of the Church, but one thing that really bugged me and Omega was Dimitri talking up how great Knights are in his Brave Alt video, when like he had his issues with knights.

Then again, he had no issue with them protecting the weak, just the whole noble sacrifice.

It's sort of like how Ashnard's forging bonds events kinda borders on informed wrongness.

There is a distinct difference between training teenagers at a military academy with the occasional supervised mission to gain experience, and throwing children into the fray of an actual war. I don't find either to be particularly good, but let's not pretend there's any real equivalence here.

Leonie and many other militia and the countries youths would tell another story. Also Cyril would be 5 if we were to look at the dates, so he must have been in the camps at that time. Also Gleen became an Knight at 15, way too early for his age.

I do need to brush up on my history, but like isn't 15 an adult age by medieval standards?

The most commonly accepted age for an Knight would be 21, 6 years later than Glenn, so basically you had to be Byleth's age to receive knighthood.

Though a 15 year old serving as a squire would be totally normal. As would lower class teenagers serving as troops.

True, this makes me wonder how old he was during the Regicide (I refuse to call it To D, because the term sounds condescending if we take the later event that followed into account), 16? or 15? He would still be older than Dimitri and Felix if he were that old, so maybe that is his canon age?

Regarding how Fódlan is hypocritical towards Almyra(it's more of the anti-Almyran players), Felix said that he was taught to wield the Sword before he could hold an feather and that it's not unique to him, but all of his youth are taught this, so Fearghus teaches their children to fight and battle in war and peace times, evem when they live in a relative peace.

Re Claude: Bear in mind that Almyra is Fantasy Mongolia.

Characters in Heroes acting out of character? Heroes being inconsistent with the mainline games? How could that possibly happen?

Sort of. Adulthood was a pretty vague concept for much of history, and in most cases, one was considered an adult upon demonstrating a certain level of maturity. Women tended to be considered marriagable once they had their first periods, but would not routinely be married until they were in their 20s. As Rationalinsanity alludes to, the minimum age for becoming a knight was 21 due to starting as a page at age 7, and then becoming a squire at 14. But Fódlan is obviously not any historical country.

Relevant TIFO:

It's also worth noting that Politically Correct History might be at play here, both time and context wise given the execution of the Western Church goons from Chapter 4 is seen in a more positive light in Blue Lions compared to Black Eagles and Golden Deer.

Well in the Golden Deer they were mostly ok with Killing Lord Lonato and his Militia, but it was mostly Khalid. The BE house has mostly sad about the fact and Edelgard used that as an reminder of how Brutal her path is. The BL, especially Dimitri and Ashe are distraught by the killings of Lonato and his warriors and wishes that there was another way.

Dimitri out of all the other lords is the one who cares about the people the most. That's his best trait IMO and the trait that tortures him the most.
