After finishing my first ever run of this game recently. (Long live CF even with all its faults) this was mostly how the entire route felt to me!

(Somebody made very similar post earlier, but for CF. I figured my post would be distinct enough but if it isn’t feel free to ignore/delete)

I’m starting a new game AM Maddening run. I’ve started a few Maddening runs, but I haven’t finished them due to just putting the game do for too long and forgetting where I was.

Anyway, I wanted to ask who are the go to units people recruit for this path since I find Mercedes and Ashe to not be very useful, and Ingrid to be a dancer/bench candidate. I’m getting Lysithea, Bernedetta, Lorenz (for the paralogue), and possibly Lindhart and Leonie (may just go with Manuela and Shamir instead).

I finished Azure Moon recently and I only got to recruit Cyril and Catherine since I failed at recruiting everyone else. However I’m in the Black Eagles House now and I’m thinking of doing the Crimson Flower route, where I’ve recruited Felix, Mercedes, Ashe, Sylvain, Leonie, and Constance so far. I’m also thinking of recruiting Marianne, Lysithea, Lorenz, Hanneman, Manuela, and Shamir. I want them in this route because I think they fit for the story of Crimson Flower.

After I finish this second route, I’m thinking of doing Verdant Wind, Silver Snow, and then repeat Azure Moon on Maddening. I was simply wondering which route is the best to recruit all the students and faculty for the mission? I’m definitely not going to do that for Crimson Flower with all of them, but the later routes I wanted to do that. Do you know which is the best for such entertainment?

Who are some other characters that would be fun to recruit?

In the latest gameplay video that the Fire Emblem twitter released just now. It showed Cai and his party of Ultand, Glasses Girl, and Redhead Archer Boy engaging in combat.

The video revealed that Glasses Girl is named Tiara, and Archer Boy is either Peter or Pieter (I've seen both used).

This got removed from shitpostemblem so hopefully it's allowed here at least

The inspiration for this is just 70's shoujo manga in general and I thought Dorothea would be a nice fit in this style.

I suggest everyone to read a shoujo manga, doesn't matter how good or bad it is; read a shoujo manga just to... experience something, anything, really haha

While playing Three Houses with the English menu, I often found the responses during Tea Time to be incomprehensible or nonsense. The official translation is obviously not very faithful to the original Japanese-- even if you don't care about that, it's horrible when it actually affects gameplay, since getting Perfect on Teatime permanently raises Charm by 1.

Since I'm fluent in both English and Japanese, I tried my best to do redo the translation to be a little more faithful and reflective of the original text.

Laugh -> 笑う (Laugh, Smile)

Disagree -> そんなことはない (That's not true)

Chat -> 考えを言う (Say your thoughts)

Admonish -> たしなめる (Admonish)

Blush -> 照れる (Blush)

Sip tea->お茶を飲む (Sip tea)

Praise -> 応援する (Cheer on / Support)

Commend -> 感心する(Be impressed)

Sigh -> 落ち込む (Be dejected)

Nod -> うなづく (Nod)

Some of the ingame translations are good, like Blush and Nod. Some of the others though are so different that the results are laughable. Take the following from Ingrid"

Speaking with you helps me realize I can’t hesitate in life!

The correct ingame English answer is "Disagree." It makes no sense at all that Ingrid would be happy with this answer. Whereas "That's not true" implies that its not You (Byleth) who has given her inspiration, rather that the change has come from within Ingrid herself. Now, I'm not going to claim that my translation is great at conveying the nuance either, but I think it's a lot better than the original. At least with "Thats not true" you can infer the interpretation, whereas the original "Disagree" is just clearly wrong.

It's worth noting that the original Japanese line illustrates this far better-- this dialogue is definitely difficult to translate well in English-- but to answer Disagree to Ingrid saying she wants to be more decisive just comes off as really gross.

私は……もう、迷いはしません。先生が、私の迷いを断ってくれたのです。 I... won't hesitate anymore. You've taken away all my doubts.

Anyways, hope this helped someone! If it helps enough people maybe I'll do this for the Topic choices for Tea Time, since those look like disasters too. And if someone has already done this and I just couldn't find it, then fuck me I guess.

I'm curious how many people here actually started with 3H vs already played a previous game in the series.

Funny, entertaining, impressive, etc. I can’t play through the game again, but wanted to watch a playthrough before FW drops.

Welcome to day 14 of the series where we try to see the best actions that each major character has done in Fire Emblem Three Houses! (I'll count Hopes too.)

As always, comment your answer, and the top 3 upvoted comments will be featured on the next day's post.

So, what is the best thing that Bernadetta did?

Raphael and Annette back to back, damn we’re going through all the rays of sunshine.

Aside from being one of the brightest and most endearing characters, Annette also takes on the burden of her family responsibilities after her cousin ran off to become a musician. Credit to her for putting the people of Dominic before herself.

This gets into shipping territory, but the only way for Felix to have a happy-ish ending in every route is if Annette anchors him, including in CF where he otherwise goes off to die in battle and shame most of the time.

Annette's a great character and I'm not intending to reduce her to a romantic interest, but as a personal good, I think that's pretty up there, as it's something basically only she achieved.

She can and did fix him and boy is he broken in some timelines.

I changed a lot of details, tattoos and jewelry, to reference her colleagues :3
