[@SSJ_EWGF]

Hot Take: The game should've gotten at least 6 months of more development time and a bigger budget, so that they could give Crimson Flower more chapters, and polish up the games more rougher areas like the graphics, map variaty, supports, and etc. My main problem is how each other route feels incomplete, missing or even just straight up ignoring plot points, and villains.

[@darkmoon2503]

It's not a hot take. I think most fans, even ones who'd call 3H their favorite FE, agree with everything you said.

[@emblemblade9245]

The thing I like is that people can love this game even despite those issues. Not that I’m trying to say they aren’t important, I’m just glad that it’s still a fun game despite that. But yeah, I think adding multiple routes was clearly a decision they put in kinda late in development. Who knows if Dimitri and Claude even existed originally?

[@dingousoop64]

Playing this game was one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. I was completely unspoiled of the game including the existence of the timeskip or Dimitri's transformation. I played Blue Lions first, then Black Eagles and finally Golden deer and I feel that this order gives the best experience of the games overall story. You first got the emotional rollercoaster with Dimitri and his quest for revenge, then you see the war from the other side in Black Eagles which makes the conflict more morally gray and finally you take an adventure with Claude to uncover the secrets of the world and defeat the true enemy of Fodlan. Also My choice to not recruit students from the other houses really enhanced the experience and made the story much more impactful and heart wrenching. All the characters are so great and having to see them fight against each other to the death is so tragic. My favorite game of 2019. Also Blue Lions is the best house and route and Dimitris and Dedues death in Black Eagles is the saddest moment in the game.

An interesting thing I found is if you end up having Hanneman and Lysethia in the same house and max out their support, his crest research finds a way to reverse the effects of the experiments on her, allowing her to live a normal life and she actually continues his research after his death. If you get the S support with her and Byleth, he also finds a way to undo her shortened lifespan but I find Hanneman's way more interesting. He also has really good support witu Marianne since her crest is a driving force in why she is the way she is.

[@MirrenTheDragonKnight]

Pairing her with Linhardt also means she is saved because, like Hanneman, he finds a way to remove them. Plus, it's just so cute to have the contrasting mages as a couple.

[@nateexists6292]

BTW "Hegemon" means supreme leader. It's fitting that if you follow the Black Eagles Edelgard route that you get the title "Wings of Hegemon" and if you fight Edelgard she becomes the "Hegemon"

[@kingxxlibra]

[@kevinclancy1573]

Dude yes one of the worst maps

[@kappapride720]

It's not that much harder on Maddening. Most of the enemies are Monsters and breaking the barrier of a wolf on Normal is exactly as easy as doing it on Maddening. This makes the paralogue simple if you have somewhat competent units.

[@JG-wz8xx]

Yes, but the monsters are much stronger on maddening, so a monster coming in from the the Fog of War will often suprise attack one of your mages. The wolves also have 6 movement, so they can sneak up on you quite easily. And to top it all off, there are phantom soldiers that will attack Marriane even if she is in the range of Maurice. You can, at least in my experiences, only move her to a certain few tiles to not be hit by anything, and since her archetype is a mage, she will almost definitely be doubled and will take major damage from any physical attacks (wolves, that sniper, etc.)

[@diegocorral8787]

Ngl, I thought that was one of the easier maps in maddening. Torching your way to Marianne to avoid the Wolves range was simple and then just gathering everyone for a stride and one turning Maurice. Although its better to try to take a couple of wolves and beast out as they give some really good Exp. The maddening map that I just hate and was hell was Bernie's and Petras. Hated Hubert just 1 shotting one of my units with meteor and had to surround the Top right corner to be able to take him out in player phase. Also the multiple commander's was just annoying.

Eh not really. Edelgard's route was what I went down first at launch and I was quite pleased with it despite it feeling a bit rushed. I then played Blue Lions and Golden Deer for their stories in that order, and I was still able to appreciate what they did differently (expected six routes as well oof, but it makes sense in not having that much) I then started going for a church playthrough with the Ashen Wolves, but I honestly hated Rhea too much, and fed Edelgard all my stat items, to care and went Crimson Rose a second time so Edelgard can kill Rhea and see Constance promote her family name through capitalism.

[@mawile3037]

@@TurbulentEitri I've always felt like people that played Black Eagles first will forever have a different take that departs the most from the other two routes, I went in wanting to play that route first but I figured if I did that I would do very little to care for the other 2 routes, so I went Golden Deer, and I felt like GD BL BE is the best way to play it because more and more story lore gets revealed in that order, by the time I got to BE I was like " wow she didn't even bring up Dimitri and her time there all that much " but its like, damn if she only knew, if she had only opened up, anyway, great game lmao

Honestly, anyone looking to play this game for the first time should pick the blue lions first. The flame emperor reveal has the biggest impact in this route, but only if you go in unspoiled. The progress of Dimitri throughout the second half, coming back from the brink, holding out a hand for edelgard, it was excellent! The other routes are great for a second or third playthrough to expand the lore and to answer the questions regarding twsitd and why edelgard does what she does.

[@hylianhero1921]

Absolutely. Playing Blue Lions First and Black Eagles route last was definitely an amazing experience and made the game a top 3 on Switch. The way the story is structured is just amazing

[@takeyourheart1]

I feel like all routes have their merit for a first play through. SPOILERS FOR BLACK EAGLE ROUTE: Black Eagles was my first playthrough and I’d say the Flame Emperor reveal is equally as impactful in that route if not more so because, at least for me, I LOVED Edelgard, I wanted to S support her, I had become so close with her and worked so hard to train her, and then she betrayed me and I truly FELT that betrayal. It was personal to me. I hadn’t talked to her before the battle so I didn’t even have the option to go CF (blind playthrough and all) so she became my mortal enemy from that point forward. It’s a different experience because the betrayal feels much more personal when she was your student vs. when she was just another lord. Yes it’s personal to Dimitri and can therefore be personal to you as you feel for him but it’s just different when it’s you. /SPOILERS Golden Deer is also a great first play through because it gives you so much information about Byleth, the goddess, the relics, etc. All that history stuff which you don’t get from the other routes so it means when you go back through you have much more understanding than you would have otherwise. I almost wish I picked GD first for this reason but the Flame Emperor reveal was just too good with Black Eagles. Blue Lions is, in my opinion, the best route overall and the certainly the most emotionally impactful. The cutscene at the end between Dimitri and Edelgard is so heartbreaking and beautiful. The music really makes it a punch in the gut. Also the scene where you see Dimitri for the first time post time skip is another heartbreaking scene where the music just adds to it perfectly. Same music I think as well and it’s perfect for both scenes. Anyway, yes, I think they are all great routes and all work/make sense for a firth play through for different reasons so in that sense, you can’t go wrong. Sorry this is long, I have a lot of feelings.

This has got to be one of my top 20 games, maybe even top 10. I just wish it got a bit more time to distinguish the routes and their plotlines a bit more.

It's a damn shame that despite being the most marketed as the technical 'first' house the Black Eagles got completely screwed over. Significantly shorter route than literally the others, treated as a 'secret' route even tho SIDING WITH YOUR HOUSE LEADER SHOULD BE THE DEFAULT, the two prominant empire generals Rndolph nd Ladislava get STILL get killed off when they could have easily been new units to make up for lost church ones, and while the other houses get to have a field day with their relics the Black Eagles get jack shit side from Edelgard's Technically-Not-Actually-A-Relic. Okay maybe I went a bit overboard there, but as someone who started with Black Eagles the slow realization over the next two routes that BE players got completely fucked over did not sit well with me. Like I can't be the only one who feels it's a little BS that BE players get the short end of the stick. While BL and GD players get tons of chapters BE players can only get a basically near carbon copy of GD route at the cost of their own damn house leader & retainer if they want a route of the same length.

[@Omeyrolx_OhMayRolks]

@@Apolleh Technically, they developed Silver Snow first before they did Golden Deer, but I see what you mean. Also, on the topic of Crimson Flower being the shortest of the routes, it actually turns out that there were no initial plans to create it. Because a lot of playtesters who picked the Black Eagles wanted to side with Edelgard, the devs added in the CF route during the later stages of 3H's development. Being that the route was incredibly rushed because of it (I mean, we never fight TWSITD despite getting more buildup towards them in CF than in any other route), making the Black Eagles the most advertised house probably wasn't a good idea in hindsight-

1:14:22 Edelgard: i'm not so small anymore, huh?

[@dobadobadooo]

In my opinion, Verdant Wind (aka Golden Deer) was the overall best route of the game. It's pretty much the only route that answers every important question, the cast has great chemistry together, you get way more lore than in other routes, and the maps are in my opinion easily the best the game has to offer. Plus, Lysithea, Lorenz and Hilda are easily some of my favorite characters. EDIT: 2 years later, I gotta admit I'm leaning towards the Blue Lions now. I still love the Golden Deer, but the Blue Lions just tells a much more interesting (if less complete) story, and I overall feel like it's the route that does the best job at actually matching the theme of the game. Plus, the fact that both Claude and Rhea are able to get their happy endings too is a huge bonus for me.

[@emiliel4539]

I find it the most satisfying overall. It could be its own, self-contained game, meanwhile the others kind of leave you wondering "WTH happened?". But all routes have their pros and cons imo (but only one has Claude ;))

[@abedramirez5059]

Best Story: Verdant Wind Best Character Development: Azure Moon Best Maps (Sadly in the end): Crimson Flower, the final map is crazy

[@cookiestew1973]

I disagree because Verdant Wind was basically silver snow with Claude and friends shoved into it, wish it was more unique and had conflicts that made more sense for Claude.

[@BabyGirlTiny]

Dobadobadooo Nah, the downfall of verdant snd is the fact that none of the characters have any agency at all. Verdant wind doesn’t have anything to do with Edelgard’s war so the second have been focused on it feels out of place. It also doesn’t help that claudes goals have nothing to do with said war or rescuing Rhea so it feels like I’m forced to do this because that’s what has to happen

[@TheWitchofEndor-1]

CookieStew wrong silver snow is like verdant wind. Not the other way around.

Is Golden Deer really the most popular? I mean, it's my absolute favourite house, and my go-to, but why is it so hard to find fanmade content of them? I always see Edelgard art. My least favourite character overall. Wtf, internet, fix your shit.

[@Apolleh]

Plot Twist: It's Neither. BE isn't even really a fan favorite house as it is just Edelgard. GD while mainly Claude being popular the whole house has quite a bit of popularity even if mostly cause memes. BL on the other hand is without a doubt the single most populr of the 3 houses from what I've seen. I've seen so much content related to all the BL members like you wouldn't believe. Hell, Sylvain/Felix is so stupidly popular it's already managed to FAR exceed the amount of fics that Chrom/Robin have on ao3. It's INSANE how much people love the Lions

[@oscarrose6176]

Well most of my friends picked GD because of Claude and I have seen many memes of that house

[@emperorjoker9240]

The reason for that is Edelgard was used heavily to promote the game and she was the first Lord we saw. That’s why the black eagles were on top in the polls for months when the game first came out.

[@colorbenja6163]

@@Apolleh I agree, BL is definitly the most popular house of the three, I would argue GD is the most beloved, since BE and BL kinda hate each other (specially BL to BE) but no one seems to have any problem with the GD

[@MalzraAirwynn]

One thing that would have helped for me is if either part 1 changed a lot more depending on your house, or if the routes split earlier. Or if like in FATES there was no difference because you don't choose until the split, so that there would be less replaying the same missions with only slightly different story for the first half of the game.

[@AlphaOblivion7]

Most of the new content with the Ashen Wolves is actually what they add to the main game. The DLC allows you to explore the sewers for the entire story (which includes new dialogue with the 4 characters, gatekeeper, and NPCs, as well as new gameplay options like the pagan statue and crystal ball), alongside new paralogue quests and supports that provide more lore and character development. I played the DLC prior to my final route, Golden Deer, so I played that route with all the additional content Edit: Back a year later now that I've played AI The Somnium Files, and I love that you used music from it and Danganronpa in this vid

But that makes no sense, even if I wanted her to drown for some reason! The pond is only 4 feet deep! Anybody with basic swimming education could make it to safety even with a twisted ankle! You would have to be utterly incompetent to need someone to save you in such a situation!" Byleth dialogue option: "Well, this is obviously fake, just ignore it. Its not like Edelgard will fall in the water tomorrow anyway." Dimitri: "You know, you're right." *the next morning* Edelgard: "Help! Help! I can't swim! Dimitri, help!"

Claude gang Claude gang \o/ Best leader, best route, best boy and ofc I like him and Byleth together- the development from him wanting to use Byleth, then distrusting them, and then finally seeing them as a cherished irreplaceable friend is exactly what I live for. Also a man with great ambitions is incredibly sexy. Golden deer easily has the best house dynamic together too. I loved them all kinda hating eachother and really not getting along at first but really coming together as a weird little family in part 2. That convo at the end of the golden deer route where they’re all talking together without Claude and Byleth hovering over them? One of my favorite scenes in the entire game. I love found family. Also Hilda, Lorenz, and Marianne- three of my favorite characters out of the ENTIRE cast- all having character growth unique only to this route? Sign me the fuck up

To be fair I was just trying to post a comment as soon as possible because I logged onto KZbin when the video was 4 minutes old, so I figured I'd leave a comment quickly so that it could get likes and whatnot. Likes are a meaningless KZbin currency anyway which definitely speaks to the fallaciousness of my reasons, but hey; dopamine is always nice. Hopefully that clears the air on why I felt the need to comment something immediately, but your combativeness, while blatantly unnecessary, is kind of ironic in the sense that there's nothing that you could say that would make be believe that you can assume my intelligence through a single sentence in the YT comment section, which makes me dubious of your intelligence?

If you defeat Sedeth first with Byleth he'll retreat instead of dying and Flayn will then do the same when you defeat her. You'll then get a new cutscene with Rhea where Sedeth sends her a letter basically saying: "Yo Rhea, I know I've served you for literally thousands of years and am your closest confidante but even I've got to admit you've kinda gone off the deep end. So I'm taking my Flayn and fucking off into the mountains. Please don't commit any atrocities while I'm gone."
