Speaking as someone else with Asperger's, I think it's possible that Miriel has it. She does seem to lack people skills, and if I remember right, she'd get very focused on specific research ideas in her supports. So yeah, I could see that as a viable headcanon, though it's also possible that she's just really quirky.

Not so sure about Laurent, though. He's not quite as extreme a case as she is.

Yeah, it could also be possible it's all just coincidence, but hey, headcanons.

I'm suddenly wondering if we can put characters like Henry and Peri through some sort of psychological analysis. That'd be interesting.

They're both exaggerated examples, but the two of them, and Peri especially, seem to be locked into a childish sort of thinking as a result of trauma, and Peri in particular has really wild mood swings- If she's happy she's ecstatic and if she's sad she's breaking down horribly.

I sure said that!

I've seen someone analyze Ryoma's character and come to the conclusion that he's having a massive panic attack all throughout Conquest, which... Makes a lot of sense.

I can get why the Hoshidans are so aggressive towards Corrin in CQ. Because, objectively, his actions look incredibly suspicious, do they not? Mikoto is killed by a weapon that he was carrying, then he promptly hightails it back to Nohr. Might as well be carrying a sign that says 'I AM AN ASSASSIN'.

An assassin Hoshido kidnapped (from Corrin's perspective). And let them keep the sword for some reason. I never got that part. Surely one of their royals deserves a proper Hoshidan weapon.

Nohr letting their prince be captured wouldn't exactly be out of character for them. Hell, Corrin makes excellent bait, considering Hoshido was actively searching for him. And with Mikoto dead her barrier falls and Nohr can launch a full-scale invasion.

So, what are the advantages of higher weapon ranks? I'd like to know whether there's a point to have Felicia hacking away at an axe-user she can't kill, nor be hit by, or if I should just send somebody else in to deal with them.

Nah there's nothing logical or rational in their reasoning since someone else snatches the sword, aims the sharp implements directly for Corn, who Mikoto jumps in front to defend, and that her magic barrier prevents Nohrians from such attacks in the first place.

The game runs heavy on Good Is Dumb especially on the Hoshido side.

Corrin got surpised attacked just like Azura on Conquest.

[up][up]Higher damage, hit rates, and more useable weapons.

this is important for Felicia since she needs Rank C in order to use the Flame Shuriken.

Also the fact that the attacker in question uses a kodachi, is a Swordsmaster, and had a weird purple aura accompanied by transparency, much like the other attackers following.

Ryoma should notice as well considering he fights the person.

[up]wild mass guessMaybe he thought it was some new abomination created by Nohrians using the corpse of a Hoshidan or something like that, or that whatever he was fighting just so happened to pick up a Hoshidan weapon, possibly from one of the people that had just died in the Ganglari explotsion?wild mass guess

To be fair to Ryoma, he had just seen Mikoto die and the Avatar turn into a dragon out of psychotic rage. I really wouldn't fault him for not being able to connect all the dots like someone not dealing with a whole bunch of stuff that had just gone pear-shaped so quickly.

... frick. I just found out that the rules for inheriting classes don't apply to friendship seals, so I've gone and wasted Laslow's A+ rank. And I saved before thinking about it, so now he's stuck with nothing special to pass down to Soleil.

Damn it.

[up][up]We know exactly who the hooded attacker is, actually, thanks to Revelation.

It's the Anakos-controlled reanimated corpse of Sumeragi. How he made his beard vanish is a riddle for the ages.

For swords and shuriken:

  • C gives +1 Attack
  • B brings that up to +2
  • A makes it +3
  • S makes it +4

For lances, bows and tomes:

  • C gives +5 Hit
  • B adds +1 Attack
  • A brings that up to +2 Attack
  • S makes it +3 Attack

For axes:

  • C gives + 5 Hit
  • B brings that up to +10 Hit
  • A adds +1 Attack
  • S makes it +2 Attack

For all weapon types:

  • E and D give +5 Hit to your character and -5 hit to the enemy's when you have WTA
  • C makes that +10/-10
  • B throws in +1 Attack/-1 Attack
  • A makes the Hit change +15/-15
  • S makes the Attack change into +2/-2

Note that being at a WTD causes you to lose all the passive bonuses. This means that, say an S-Rank Spear Master attacking an S-Rank Swordmaster will cause the Swordmaster to lose a whopping 6 Attack and 15 Hit. Incidentally, this huge difference is a big part of why Conquest!Kaze makes a much better late-game mage killer than Conquest!Niles.

Staves also get bonuses, but I can't remember the exact amount. It might be +1 healing per rank from C and up and +5 Hit per rank from C and up for status staves.

IIRC, Sumeragi's stats are a lot lower than when he's encountered on Revelation, so it's entirely possible that the boss was simply going armourless.
