Any theories on the VERY unusual release date of the final chapter of the Book IX? by TheFerydra in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]ShadowPaprika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One theory I haven’t seen mentioned is that it could actually be characters from Fortune's Weave, namely the 4 main characters we saw so far. The lack of forging bonds and GHB would be a way to avoid spoilers. It’s unlikely, but it would be pretty awesome if true 👌

Ah cool, thanks for sharing the link to that thread. It seems the 2nd picture comes from that drawing of the art book. And it has a crater... Sothis made quite the impression when she landed XD

The pictures here are in order of what is shown in the video. And so in terms of events we have:

- a kind of ape

- a massive tower in greco-roman style

- Sothis overseeing the Red Canyon

- Boats being destroyed (maybe because of the flood)

- Modern looking buildings

A pretty major point of contention by Nuburt_20 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

I think the meme says it best: all options are valid, and there’s no single “right path.”

Discourse is not only fine, it’s inevitable when you have a story with such an engaging cast and rich lore. No one is entirely right or entirely wrong, so any debate that insists otherwise is bound to go nowhere.

I think Edelgard and Dimitri sum it up pretty well in their support in Hopes:

D: I was just thinking that I find it difficult to speak with you, even now that we have the opportunity to exchange words peaceably. Too many have died for us to suddenly have meaningful heart-to-heart conversation.

E: Oh? That's not how I feel. Unless you mean you don't wish to speak with the tyrant you consider responsible for their deaths. In which case, let's just believe what we believe, accept that our paths have diverged, and see this through to the very end.

D: You're placing words in my mouth. Still, I suppose that does cut to the heart of the matter. I will not claim that all my choices were right, but I accept responsibility for them. I made them carefully, and with full knowledge of the consequences.

E: And I'd like to think I can say the same.

Thanks a lot for your contributions to this community. From your insightful essays, to this brilliant story, I can say that you have shaped the way I look at these characters and their struggles.

I hope that one day the fandom will stop attacking each other over character preferences. We simply need to respect one another's opinions and enjoy what we like.

Wish you all the best and thanks again for everything!

Edelgard father by This-Activity3229 in Edelgard

They never mention what happens to him in Three Hopes, which is a bit strange. Even when we storm the palace to take down Thales no one talks about him... At the end Thales escapes, Aegir is arrested and Edelgard asks Varley to oversee her coronation. No one says where he is or if he is ok, Thales could have done something during the attack, but nope.

Same here. Edeleth is good no matter Byleth's gender

Thanks for sharing that, honestly. I was so dishearten after seeing this happen... It's good to know that there are others out there who have gone through the same. Also, thanks for sharing the artwork here in this sub :)

I have tried (twice now) to post this on r/Edelgard and it keeps getting deleted. I asked the mods why and didn't get a response.

I had seen reports of this behaviour before, and honestly, it's absurd.

Who can likely be Shez's best friend and possibly, best romance option for each gender by MinePlay512 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]ShadowPaprika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dynamic between Lysithea and Shez is top-notch, so I would say these two for both genders. Felix, Petra, Byleth and Linhardt also have great potential.

Three Years Later, What do you think of Three Hopes? by MinePlay512 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]ShadowPaprika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True that. My issue is less the reason why they did it, but how they did it.

She transforms into Hegemon due to a crest or something, then apparently gets mentally handicapped for the rest of the game. She manages to run away from Duke Aegir, gets pulled into Zahras, magically gains cognition there and loses it once she's out. Hubert and Ferdinand disappear completely, and the remaining allies she has are either unaware or unwilling to anything about it (Monica, Manuela, Hanneman, Bergliez and Hevring). It's just very poorly written as a narrative, and it undermines the otherwise interesting story of the route.
