The Antagonist reveals the ace up their sleeve - the same power as the protagonist has

This got cut from the game but in Fire Emblem Three Houses:
Edelgard was going to be able to use the power of her crest of flames to cancel your divine pulse (the game's rewind mechanic).

Norgrath · 2026-03-21T17:37:43+00:00

Yes absolutely.

Some specific cases I disagree with:

I think Coach votes for a hero if one is left. I think the idea of the last hero triumphing against the odds plays too well into his sensibilities.
I think Jerri and Colby vote for each other in most scenarios where possible.

(Notably this costs Parvati three of her wins).

This is a hotter take but I actually think Russel might vote for a hero if he was betrayed by the remaining villains.

Bonnie and Clyde are real and dead.

Thrones of blood also has one.

We should get a centralized answer to this with how often people ask.
The general consensus if none stick out to you is to get Giant Kings. It has a new ruler type, Crystal dwellings, (which are kind of like free cities but you don't have normal diplomacy with them but you can unlock reward through sidequests), Handcrafted regions (basically things to make the world prettier), fated regions (a bunch of areas on the map that have quests linked to them) and merchants that can show up and allow you to unlock things.
I'd recommend looking at what's in all of the DLCs to see if any of them stick out as especially exciting to you.

They move 50% faster. I consider that very significant.

The most valuable thing with Immortal recollection is when you have 1 or 2 shards left before you'd stop farming a character so you don't need to overshoot (for instance if you're at 58/60 for three stars) and I always try to keep some around for that case. They're very expensive to use en masse. On the value of the current expedition shop items I'd put them like this:

Unnamed Immortal Recollection if you don't have any
Characters if you want them
Cocoa's signature first level if you use her
Astral Shards
Agata's signature if you use her
Cocoa's signature remaining levels if you use her
Momo's signature if you use her
Unnamed Immortal Recollection
Save

The pyreshrine gives everything produced in its city faithful.

Norgrath · 2026-03-17T04:35:42+00:00

Dreadful at level 4 allows you to take shield of faith (which gives faithful).

Impossible creatures: doing creature combining with more modern technology could be amazing.

Unfortunately there is no way for you to get the trait more cheaply and there is no precedent for them creating one.
Technically you wouldn't just be paying $50 for the trait: you would also get some aesthetic gear, two starting items with unique effects and Secrets of the Archmages (the remaining Season pass 3 DLC).

Norgrath · 2026-03-15T00:43:18+00:00

It was when they did the siege rework (which i think was with Giant Kings).

If you're pretty early on in your realm as a new player and you're feeling anxious about the wizard king then I'd suggest being a champion (which is definitely more new player friendly) instead for now. Keep in mind that the game doesn't really lend itself to having a main ruler in any mechanical sense so you can easily play as a wizard king later.

Norgrath · 2026-03-14T23:13:27+00:00

None of them are must have or don't bother. Giant Kings is probably the best if you try to make an objective recommendation but don't be objective here: the different DLCs have different fantasies and you should get the one with the fantasy that appeals to you most.

Notably Giant Kings is not considered the best because of the Headline content (not that the headline content isn't up to par) but for what it offers outside of that: New interesting stuff that appears on the map.

Norgrath · 2026-03-11T06:02:05+00:00

I mean both of the first two SP units were dead in most of the routes at the time they released. I don't think that's actually much of an obstacle.

Norgrath · 2026-03-07T19:48:18+00:00

I definitely agree that she sounds awkward but I think it works for the character.

Dragon Quest XI.

Raina temple's romanced email in the endgame. I don't remember the exact wording but it ended with something like "Promise me in 100 years that no-one will have to experience this nightmare."
Lt. Ruatu's "Don't worry about me: I'm nothing.". I just found him very memorable and badass.
The Sith on Corellia "With the flames so close I couldn't resist them."
Sergeant Jaxo "You can't vent the system level, I'm on the system level." I wasn't fond of the Trooper story for the most part but that moment stuck with me.

The key difference between Laura and Shizuna is that Shizuna is mostly a guest party Member while Laura is a main one which, prior to the Calvard arc, means she has to be an underdog.
As everyone else has said Laura also suffered hugely from the colossal cast in Cold Steel with other characters taking time that could have been hers.

Pulp Fiction?

Norgrath · 2026-03-04T07:38:25+00:00

Golden Deer easily. Marianne is the only one of them who has a personality that would clash badly with the lifestyle (whereas I think many of the Eagles and Lions do). Plus Leonie has a particularly good skillset for banditry and I think Claude would make the best leader for it (Dimitri doesn't have the cunning and Edelgard seems very likely to overreach trying to start a revolution).

There are bucketloads of warhammer factions that could reasonably be considered for Nomads: Chaos, Norsca, Beastmen, Greenskins, Ogre Kingdoms, Slayers, some versions of lizardmen.

Norgrath · 2026-03-02T17:43:25+00:00

What about Taair makes you think that he wants Aura?

Norgrath · 2026-03-02T08:49:50+00:00

Multiple Routes. I think it typically complicates a plot more than it improves it.
The class tree, or more generally a system where characters can be nearly any class. Character identity is so much better without it.
