[@svolozhanin7627]

@@BLAZINGKNIGHT50 Oh good, I was afraid there a little. Hey, since I got a reply from THE Blazing Knight himself(OMGHOMGH), I'm gonna drop my opinion "short"(I'm sorry). Long story short, I think Three Houses is a solid 8/10(8.5 if I'm being kind), while the game has its obvious "Fire Emblem Problems", I think the franchise haded in the right direction with this one, and Three Houses sales should tell IS that. My favourite interaction(Ship? Pairing?) between the characters has to between Byleth and Sothis. Putting a hot topic about Sothis age/child appereance(Which is a Nowi all over again...), and Byleth silent protagonist status aside, I really liked their interaction! Byleth brooding but caring guy(girl) to Sothis brash but wise girl, made a pretty good combo in my opinion! *Sigh* Unfortunately, Sothis vanished from the second half of the game (SPOILERS! although in her S-Support it's implied that she could return at any moment if she wanted, but decided to lie to Byleth about her vanishing after their fusion, in order to allow them to live their life on their own and how they want, but decide to return to them when she realize that Byleth misses Sothis SPOILERS! ), and Byleth and Sothis S-Support made people uncomfortable. Which made her pretty underrated, I can hope that in one of the DLC waves/Updates, IS will give Sothis justice.

BLAZINGKNIGHT Love your videos. For me I find the priest time skip more enjoyable than the post time skip usually.

I was really surprised about this too. Hubert is both a great character and a fantastic unit. Being the only male Dark Magic user, he can actually class into Dark Mage and Dark Bishop without issue (and yes, Intrinsic Fiendish Blow from Dark Bishop and Fiendish Blow from Mastering Mage DO STACK). Dark Magic is also far more useful on Maddening than Black Magic (which is the worst form of damage output in the game due to limited uses and no Combat Arts, as well as 0 side effects), which classes him above Dorothea and Linhardt (though the latter is likely your dedicated healer/Warp unit and will only see combat occasionally and Dorothea can alleviate the weaknesses of Black Magic by being tailor-made to the Dancer Class, while also having access to Hexblade). And while you can class him into a Dark Knight (his best Master Class), another thing you can make use of is his Boon in Bows. Not only does this Boon give him the highly valued Hit+20 skill by Mastering Archer, but Mastering the Sniper class and giving him a Magic Bow allows him to use Hunter's Volley to output DISGUSTING levels of magic damage. He's one of the few Mages that has an easy time accomplishing this (the others being Mercedes and Hanneman).

I, too, started with Black Eagles, and have an immense bias towards them..with a few outside exceptions (Lysithea, Hilda, Felix). As such, here's my top: 8 - Caspar, he started to fall off late game and his personality came off too strong for me at times. Still love him though. 7 - Hubert, an absolute monster on the battlefield and I was just waiting for him to betray us at some point. Never happened. 6 - Ferdinand, the shield of the group with a personality that rubs off on you and someone you come to deeply respect. 5 - Dorothea, I admit that I didn't like her personality as much as you did but she was a dervish-dancer and felt very relateable. 4 - Linhardt, The lazy genius and softest of the boys who I found quite entertaining every time he spoke. 3 - Petra, crazy strong in battle and crazy well put together character wise; the most interesting Black Eagle imo. 2 - Bernadetta, she killed The Immaculate one by shooting her six times in one turn..when I was trying to give Edelgard the kill. 1 - Edelgard, immensely strong in both character and determination (not to mention in battle; good lord Hector would be proud)..with just enough fragility and remorse to remind you that she's still human, and quite emotional at that. I married her, and if I were asked if I'd do it again after playing and seeing the rest of the paths..you can bet your last gold piece that I still would.

[@fratboydionysus8220]

Just curious: How did Caspar fall off late game for you? Cause if you're talking about how he is as a unit he gets an insane crit rate on the war master path.

[@chandlerholloway2047]

The problem that I had with Caspar was that, even though I was going the War Master path with him, it was very difficult to get him kills..so by end game, he never got there, especially since Crimson Flower is so short. He always came up just short of being able to ORKO, and he was too squishy for me to put him in danger. He had surprisingly low AS and defense, and just being a sack of hit points wasn't good enough against late game Falcon Knights, Assassins, and Swordmasters..which 3H -loves- to throw at you. And like, him versus the magic damage 1 to 3 range golems? No way. However, one thing I will say is that this post was made back when I had only beaten the game twice and before I had all of this cool DLC and such..so now that I'm a lot more knowledgeable about the game, I'm sure that I'd have a much easier time using him.

[@Underworlder5]

@@chandlerholloway2047 i like using caspar, but you summed up the problems. he has all the shortcomings of a fighter. sure, he hits hard, but his low speed and defenses means his mountain of HP goes down fast. fortunately, gauntlets help with his speed problem. still edelgard lite in gameplay though

[@JaelinBezel]

I'm still proud of arranging it so that, against Flayn and Seteth, Caspar was able to keep Flayn occupied by healing himself between turns, keeping him far enough away from her that he couldn't retaliate, and them both isolated enough so that he's the only one close enough for her to target while Byleth persuaded Seteth to flee so we didn't have to kill them. I think Caspar was probably the only unit on my squad who COULD have done that.

What becomes of Ferdinand during the war on non black eagle routes if you recruit him is humbling for his character but also quite tragic. Turning against the empire a man who prides himself on his nobility becomes a noble in name only. He basically has everything taken from him, wandering aimlessly for the next few years. But he still considers himself a noble because of his ideals.

[@lucinae8512]

My rankings of the Black Eagles house: *Huge spoilers!* 8. Hubert: While I find his blind allegiance to Edelgard to be a bit annoying, his supports show some depth to him. He doesn't have that deep of a reason to follow her, but does have his own views on her allies and respects them as individuals. He's definitely a glass cannon, but we already have Lysithea for that. Hubert far from a bad unit, but works better as support. Plus Robbie Daymond is doing a wayyyyy better performance than in Echoes - he should voice Dracula! 7. Caspar: Yeah he should be the mc of a Shounen series, and his conversations makes that very clear. But it's not run to the ground, and his supports give an extra layer of character on top of outward personality. Caspar is obviously a close quarters tank. Make him a Grappler, Warrior and Swordmaster and he's set for the entire game. 6. Linhardt: I didn't expect much from him. I. Was. Stupid. This guy's supports are insightful, relatable and he discovered plot threats before me! His magic stats are well balanced, with either magics being ideal for him and his growth rates make them worth the effort. 5. Ferdinand: When I started playing as F Byleth (habit in FE games), I didn't think it would cause any problems. Then Jeralt gave Byleth her mother's ring. *OH SHIT! I DON'T HAVE A HUSBANDO!* I knew I could've chosen a gay option, but there are so many Waifus that it seemed too obvious. That's when Ferdie comes in! He's a stuck up noble who clearly doesn't know how to socialise, but he has good reason. He doesn't believe what his father did to Edelgard's father was right, so Ferdie wants to become the quintessential noble to change peoples views on them. And he learns very well from mistakes, taking responsibility and gains something from the experience. And you can feel Billy Kametz understands and grows with him. Riding units are the most ideal for him, but he can be handy with a bow and magic if you want to and your exp will not be wasted on him. Therefore, he is the one to stand side by side with Byleth! (Ally and husbando) 4. Bernadette: Like Caspar, she has anime traits that feel out of place. Especially since her paranoia doesn't mash well with the 'shy, but cute' look they're going with. But her supports reveal that she's constantly trying to break out of that shell, which is a very touching story that can hit home. Obviously her strength is in bows, so make her Pegasus, Wyvern or cavalier unit and she's indestructible. Plus Erica Mendez. Instant like! 3. Dorothea: Honestly I'm not sure if the developers knew if she should be a seductive or supportive big sis. Although Dorothea being the only commoner (story wise) doesn't effect her relationships, it's clear she's hiding deep scars of her past. But she won't allow that to get in the way of her friendship, and in the end she loves her friends. She's the best magic unit, as she gains some great spells and her growth rates make her useful in other classes. And Allegra Clark can sing and voice Shamir! 2. Petra: The second I heard of her, I thought they'd make her speak broken English in a stereotyped voice because FE has done it before. They even gave her a Kansai accent in the Japanese version (common way to depict foreigners there). Instead, the English version is much more realistic. Petra makes grammatical errors, but she constantly tries to fix it. That's because she tries to everything well, with mostly good results. And it's because she wants to prove that she can be a great queen. She's well aware of her country's situation, and wants to fix it by learning to become a great ruler and building better diplomatic relationships. Even when Caspar learns his father killed her father, Petra still values her friendship with Adrestians both on personal and professional levels. Her best stats are in physical units, but I made her a bow wielding Pegasus Knight because I can. And props for Faye Mata doing foreigners justice! 1. Edelgard: Is this any surprise? A magic and physical powerhouse, good set of skills and definitely a unit for the front lines. Yeah her reasons for starting the war isn't completely justified, especially since some of her reasons are misunderstandings. But clearly it's because she doesn't have the best advisers (not Hubert), and she doesn't like killing in the least. She's merciful, values her friends and loved ones, doesn't do it for own selfish reasons and is the most bad ass lord in the game! Why her route is shorter than others, I don't know. And honestly the Verdant Wind route is the best. But I loved Edelgard's route and her character, and I wouldn't change much of because I love her that much! (Female or male!) And it proves FE can and will have developed 'villains'! Side note: I love the Blue Lions just as much, but your first pick always have nostalgic value. The Golden Deers aren't half bad.

Ferdinand stuck up? I can see that from Lorenz, but Ferdinand? Why? A stuck up person would refuse to do any menial task, saying it's beneath him, but Ferdinand doesn't shy away from such things and even enjoys them: cleaning up, pulling weeds, helping with hard labor, picking up groceries and so on and so forth. He would do and has done any menial task under the sun to set an example to nobles and commoners alike, and he's always so eager and energetic in anything he does. His support with Dorothea is especially impressive in this regard: he gets a job to earn money so that he could buy flour (which I believe he grinded himself) and ingredients just so that he could bake her some pastries. And this has been a mere commoner defending the splendor of nobility, the noble standard, a noble among nobles, Ferdinand von Aegir

I’ve done a church route Hogwarts run (everyone must be in a magic class, basically any class that can use magic)... I tried to use a mix from all the houses to get as much out of the game as possible (this was done on NG+ only to get every student ASAP). From Black Eagles I used Bernie, Dorathea, and Ferdinand but surprisingly they were most effective in that order (Bernie outperformed most of the canonical mages as mages). Turning Ferdinand into warlock is ok but once he’s a dark Knight Ferdie becomes amazing, he becomes quite tanky for a Mage and while as a mounted Mage he hits hard on both sides of the spectrum. Not an all star member but definitely way better than originally expected Bernie has just been such a god tier unit no matter what role I throw her into, used her in every play though and she stayed as a must have top 3. Archer, Sniper, ending in Bow Knight? Amazing. Mage, Warlock, ending in Dark Knight raising faith on the side? Ridiculous. Flyer... that’s self explanatory. She is honestly one of the best characters in the game

Thing about Edelgard and why she's such a great character is that everything she does is in the name of a better world. Out of all the leaders in Three Houses, she's the one that speaks the most sense regarding the state of the world, as Dimitri's (post madness) naive idea that things will just get better over time (which completely flies in the face of what happened to him in his youth. His father espoused the same ideals and was killed by the Agarthans, along with corrupt people from both Faergus and Duscur). And Claude's more interested in mending relations with Almyrra (noticeably changing very little in terms of Fodlan itself, one could argue that his motives were selfish, as he's feeling torn between his dual heritage, so by improving relations between Fodlan and Almyrra, he doesn't have to feel that way anymore). Edelgard, on the other hand, understands that the world is not perfect and that sometimes, you have to break an egg to make an omelet. The Church of Seiros was responsible for the state of the nobility and rampant classism and was doing nothing to remedy it, in fact, passively encouraging it by staying silent on the topic of Crests and Rhea would never surrender power (I'd obviously like to point out that Rhea intended to surrender power when Sothis returned, but nobody, not even Seteth knew of her plans). Therefore, the only way to change it was through war, as those in power who refuse to surrender it can only be removed by force, and this is exceptionally true in the case of a being like Rhea, who has lived for centuries. I'd like to point out too that the war was predominantly against the Church of Seiros specifically, but there was also plans to get rid of the Agarthans, who were the real bad guys and the Empire knew it. which actually required the unification of Fodlan, because the Agarthans had bases of power in every corner of Fodlan. By NOT conquering the Kingdom and the Alliance, they would basically give the Agarthans free reign of those territories, since the Church of Seiros was the only power in play that knew of them and had access to military operations within those territories (a foreign army would obviously not be tolerated). Both the Kingdom and the Alliance were totally oblivious to the existence of the Agarthans, and Dimitri certainly wasn't interested in hearing about it. Basically, Edelgard's decision to go to war was necessary. Otherwise, more tragedy and more death at the hands of the Agarthans was inevitable and the nobility would continue to be as corrupt and self-serving as always. And unlike most people in power, Edelgard voluntarily relinquishes her position after her reforms are passed and she lives a quiet and peaceful life. Meaning that her war was never in the name of power, glory or wealth. It was always for Fodlan's future.

[@BLAZINGKNIGHT50]

My favorite Black Eagles in order from least favorite to favorite would be: 8. Bernie: as sad as her backstory is, and I really like her support conversations with Dorothea and Ferdinand, however her constant screaming got really annoying and she can’t even listen for 5 seconds before bolting which makes her my least favorite of the group(but not as bad as Cyril) 7. Caspar: Aka Rowan from warriors done right also gives me Hop from Pokémon Shield and Sword vibes with their hotheadedness 6. Hubert: Similarities to Fredrick from Awakening minus pebble fixation since both don’t trust you at first and are deeply loyal to their Lord 5. Ferdinand: The Character that I felt had the funniest support conversations with Linhardt and Hilda but also has deep conversations with Bernie and Dorothea 4: Petra: One of my best units in the game and an interesting character as well 3: Linhardt: The most relatable character in the franchise and is basically Shikimaru Nara from Naruto not bad for the son of Reinhardt 2. Dorothea: the most stand out of the Black Eagles and has a voice that can rival Asura and my second favorite non-lord in the game(Next to best girl Lysithea) 1. Edelgard: first thought when I saw her was “Lyn Clone and she is the good girl and Dimitri is the bad guy and Claude is neutral and the flame Emperor is her father” but during my Golden Deer route, when I got to the end of chapter 11 Claude and I both said at the exact same time “ Is this some sick joke. The Flame Emperor is actually Edelgard!?” And then later I played same level on Black Eagles route and in that instant I knew Rhea only cared for Byleth as a vessel (basically how I felt: Byleth: “You mean I have been helping you all this time and you didn’t even like me?” Rhea: “Truth not really” Felix: “ That’s Cold” Rhea: “Says the guy that is a jerk to everyone” Felix: “At least I’m straight with people and not a lier” Rhea: “doesn’t matter I am the Archbishop no one can touch me” Edelgard: “For now”) and that is when I realized that Edelgard was right all along “The Crests are to blame for this irrational world we live in” and that Rhea is the cause of all of it so I sided with El to kill the Apposite and after the Heretic was finally killed I gave El my hand in marriage and she became my favorite antihero in all of FE (and third favorite character in the game next to Claude and Lysithea)

Fodlan is such an irrational world that needed to be fixed.

[@Mojo1356]

Meta Aggron while Rhea isn’t responsible for humans having crests, she screwed up big time by covering up the Miklan case and all other cases like it rather than try to put an end to those problems for good. That ended up being the big kicker for why I gladly went with Edelgard on my first rune as opposed to Rhea.

[@Underworlder5]

@@Mojo1356 my reasoning for siding with edelgard is that she knows her actions are morally ambiguous at best. rhea is too caught up in a black/white thinking for my liking, and i dislike how she uses religion to justify her actions. not to mention that you see none of her redeeming qualities unless you choose to side with her, making the alignment choice even more lopsided

[@Mojo1356]

[@TheIvoryDingo]

All I'll say is the following: While I do think she's a well written character, I just CANNOT see myself EVER playing Crimson Flower due to VERY PERSONAL reasons causing me to not be able to justify siding with Edelgard. I can see why other people like her, but I enjoyed her MUCH more when she was a villain on the other routes than when she was the protagonist of her own route (and from what I've seen in Let's Plays would has only soured me on her character).

[@extrahachse3118]

I dunno, it's still just a game. Strategy games usually offer villain campaigns such as Warcraft or Red Alert and most of the times they are far more evil than what Three Houses gave us with Crimson Flower. I mean, I think Mandalorians are jackasses for setting entire planets on fire, but that doesn't stop me from playing them if given the chance. You do you, but I feel like you're just skipping on content the game provides.

[@TheIvoryDingo]

@@extrahachse3118 The problem with that attitude is that the only things I would miss out on experiencing is using Edelgard and Hubert post timeskip (as well as Jeritza) as well as the maps on that route (of which only one is wholly unique) as anything story and support related I can still experience via KZbin. And it also doesn't help that Crimson Flower is the shortest route so if you like experimenting with weird class-character combinations (like I do), you will have less time to do so.

[@extrahachse3118]

Huge fan and amazing list on the Black Eagles. I had a question to ask you and anyone else who sees this, feel free to answer as well. One of the most controversial parts of the Crimson Flower route that so many people bring up when the discussion of why they don't like Edelgard comes up is when she lies about the Church attacking Arianrhod when it was Those Who Slither In The Dark that did it. In your playthrough of Crimson Flower I don't think you addressed the lie either though I may be mistaken on that. What's your thoughts on the lie she tells? Do you feel she was justified in doing so or not?

[@BLAZINGKNIGHT50]

Thank you very much and personally speaking on a morality level it was scummy tactic but at the same time given the situation at hand it was the best move tactically, since if she told the truth it would effect the morale and loyalty of the army right before their most difficult battle which she could not afford to lose.

( kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6SvfayVdt1kmZY ) This video I linked proves it. Like she couldn't have taken out of the TWSITD as the church would have most likely claimed that thous made them impossible to take down so...that why she targeted the Church first. 2: Dorothea: Watch the Video...it get explained really well. 3: Petra: Same as Dorothea 4: Ferdinand: He started off a bit hatable but love his supports especially with Dorothea...ship these two. 5: Linhardt: His support with Byleth is really good. 6: Hubert: I Like him even though he a bit creepy but his backstory is nice. 7: Benedetta: Must protect! 8: Casper: You might be my least favourite but I still like you...unlike Raphael...sorry but no offensive but I found his character to be really boring and uninteresting. Like he just a nice dude who lost his family...that it. No seriously that it for his backstory....that kind of lame and his support really didn't help 'him'. Right now I am hoping that you would get to Berwick Saga BlazingKnight as you would love the story that game alongside the Lord Reese who...easily one of my favourites Lords in terms of character and gameplay. As he started off a bit low on bases but he can still fight pretty well and his commander helps everyone a lot. Oh, also he gets some personal weapons that allow him to become really good in fact, he one of the most balanced Lords in the series as yea he mounted but in Berwick Saga mounted classes got nerf heavily with the whole buying horses, how they can die, and terrain. Even so, he isn't super weak like...Roy, as he can still put some work and his promotion, helps him a lot. As for his character, it really good as Reese might look boring but my god I was wrong. As in the story he is faced with so many conflicts that he has to deal with. As for example, he has the face the reality of war and how it affects people...as unlike in other Fire Emblem Games, we can talk to NPC within the Hub area. Also, it does pull the whole Conquest storyline where they had a King that they can't oppose but yet they continue to serve him...however, Berwick Saga, it does it a million times better! As Reese is just a Lord son and therefore doesn't have a lot a problem also they had no choice but to serve him as the Raze Empire is just banging on their doorstep. I won't spoil anymore but just know that if you like Fire Emblem 4 story...play Berwick Saga you love it.

Like you say that he doesn't need a long backstory...sure but...even so it...really dam short. It as simple as "I am a nice dude who lost his parents." like....that it...sure he has his sister but once again like his parents barely talked about. The problem for Raphael is that nothing gets explored at all so he ends up being a flat character. Another character did this job better and without supports. Dean from Berwick Saga...his backstory is really simply where he lost his entire family from the Raze Empire and that he vowed for revenge. Seems simple right? Nope, During a scene Dean vow to kill any Imperial soldiers without any mercy. So when a Priestess name Izerna who he saved earlier from rebels rescued an Imperial Soldiers. He goes nuts and tries to kill him but Izerna stepped in and then just slaps him. Dean was shocked when Izerna starts crying and ask her why she is crying. She replied "Come here you two" Izerna drags them both into the graveyard and ask the Imperial to reveal his backstory which is just like Dean...his family was also killed but this time by the League...he also vowed for revenge just like Dean. Dean realized that...he part the cycle of revenge and that...the war is going to create more people crying for revenge. Izerna soon asked Dean what would he do if killed every Imperial soldiers and for the first time Dean was at a loss of words. See...this character Dean seems simple alongside his backstory but they explored it and gave us a strong message about the cycle of revenge. Like we have to keep mind that Dean is in a game that doesn't have supports and he only gets...a handful of scenes but even so he is a million times better and is much more interesting then Raphael like...wtf?

Thales since he manipulated Edelgard into doing so many bad things. If we had gotten the chance to see Edelgard react to the day we can finally kill the Agarthans once and for all after everything they did, then the CF could have been my favorite story route even if it was shorter than the other routes... however, since killing the Agarthans for good is relegated to offscreen only, which is somewhat mitigated with Jeritza’s additional quest and S rank ending, I can only place the CF route as No 2 after the BL story)
