(Transcript: Fabio talks about the Calendars)

Fabio: Harvest season must be approaching in Fódlan.
   That brings to mind the difference between the Adrestian and Dagdan calendars.
   Have you noticed? The calendar of this land begins with Janai and ends with Decim.
   Fódlan's year begins with the Great Tree Moon, or Efraul, and ends with the Lone Moon—Maresh.
   Both calendars no doubt had their origins in the calendar used in antiquity.
   Yet somehow, they diverged. In Fódlan the month after the spring equinox now begins the year.
   As to the origin of this change, I can only speculate.
   My supposition is that it could be based on the season when seeds are sown.
   Given the importance of agriculture, it could be administrative as well. Crops must be levied.
   Perhaps it is strictly cultural, and the old calendar was deemed unsuitable for some reason.

Maybe Rhea is just a FUCKIN WEEB




> Renown lvl 9 <

( Paralogue: Solel )

okay i get it now.



Okay reading the post-battle dialogue and it's. v funny that they write all the Anna/Solel lines to be completely unaffected by the current Lord because Dietrich just dropped a "Yeah Raksha kissed me too idk what that's about" and they don't react at all. Thanks.


LMAO HI FABIO.

hi babe ❤




CUZ YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL MY MAN





god I love her. What a fucking bitch ❤





girl you're lying to this dude too huh.

oh wait actually. since. this is right after Solel talked about the cauldron & the special White Egg bodies. do they have to throw Yanjin in to trigger the damage which will then cause the cauldron to grab Dagda later....




jesus CHRIST. when this whole section happened I had to stop playing and harass my bff jill about the delivery on these fucking lines. like??? the warble? the flirty tease? the BLUSH SPRITE? i'm losing my mind.

LMAO INSTANT DEATH ATTACK. i love it.


> Renown lvl 7 <
> Cetus down <






HEY SHE TALKS




HELLO?

Okay so it was a beast and not a Nabatean... so it stole that relic maybe?

( transcript of this whole conversation bc i did grab 30 screenshots of it and im not posting all those )

Cetus: Graaah!
   Well fought, dark warrior who carries the blood of Lamine...
Esmeralda: Kyaah! What? It can SPEAK?!
Cetus: Driven solely by bestial impulse, I plied the seas, challenging all I laid eyes upon.
   But at long last, my journeys can come...to an end.

Esmeralda: This spear... It has the same mark as mine!
Fabio: It is no coincidence. They are connected.
   That beast was once a hero—one not unlike Lamine, Dietrich's ancestor.

      > Inquire further. <
Dietrich: Then the Sea Tyrant Cetus was also one of the 10 Elites?
Fabio: Do not assume the stories peddled by the Church of Seiros reflect the true history of this world.
   Anything the church deemed inconvenient to its hegemony was rewritten.
   The warriors granted Heroes' Relics—that is, Crest weaponry—numbered many more than 10.
   Some challenged dragons and succumbed. Others fell victim to strife that bred within their ranks.
   And others, who fought beyond all endurance, beyond all limit...were consumed by their weapons.
Dietrich: They became beasts, driven by instinct to fight on.
Fabio: In that blood-soaked age spanning centuries, Nemesis, the King of Liberation, led his warriors.
   Those warriors who survived to leave their mark on Fódlan are called the 10 Elites. This is the real truth.
Dietrich: And this is what became of one warrior of Fódlan who was lost to history.
Fabio: Just so. Esmeralda, you bear the same Crest. It may be that you carry the same blood as well.
Esmeralda: This was my ancestor?
   That's...a tragedy.
   Changed into a beast, trapped by this spear, forced to wander the seas alone for however long... How sad.
   I'm glad that we set Cetus free. Whether or not we're related.

Mikaela: Esmeralda, what are you doing?
Esmeralda: We can't make a grave, but at least we can return the remains to the sea.
   There we go.
   I've always loved the sea, ever since I was little. When things get tough, I watch the waves...
   I don't know why, but it always calms me.
   Even when Dad died, it calmed me... And I didn't blame the sea for taking him.
   No, I'd watch the waves go in and out...and I'd tell myself that he had returned to the sea he loved.
   Cetus must have loved the sea too. I'm sure of it.
Dietrich: You have acted admirably.
Fabio: Well! How rare it is to hear you say that.
Esmeralda: Oh, Sweetie... You're making me blush!

Dietrich: To reach beyond your limits... To tumble into beauteous ruination...
   It may be that, one day, Answerer will consume me and I, too, will become a beast.
   And that would be nothing to lament. No—a fitting end for one such as I.
Fabio: Ngh...
   If I am there at that moment... What could I say?


Esmeralda: This spear we got... Can I try using it?

     > Allow it. <
Dietrich: Of course you may.
Fabio: That is Grasitha. Esmeralda, as you bear the Crest of Blaiddyd, it must certainly be yours.
   None but you could draw out its potential.
Esmeralda: Does that mean if I do, I'll end up like Cetus someday?
Fabio: It is not wholly certain, but I do not believe so.
   So long as you avoid pushing beyond your limit in battle, you should be well.
   Using it would be the highest tribute you could pay her, would it not?
Esmeralda: Her? Are you saying Cetus was a woman?
   Fabio, I think you know something about my ancestor.
Fabio: Some events remain shrouded to me, so anything I say should be treated as speculation.
Esmeralda: That's fine. I want to know. Tell me whatever you can.
Fabio: I knew of a warrior woman in Fódlan called Hedda.
   She was a famed dragon hunter who bore the same Crest as Blaiddyd the Elite and wielded Grasitha.
   Southern Fódlan was where she stalked her prey—until one day, she vanished without a trace.
   Naturally, I presumed that a dragon finally got the better of her.
   Now, though, I posit that she crossed the sea. A dragon did not end Hedda; this spear consumed her.
   And so she became Cetus, the Sea Tyrant, and roamed the waters seeking the blood of the strong.
   Or something like that. My imagination does run away with me so.
Esmeralda: Wow, that's quite a story. My ancestor, the dragon hunter.


     [ later, in private: ]
Dietrich: Once again you make it sound as if you were present as the era of legends unfolded.
Fabio: If I told you I had witnessed it all with my own eyes, would you believe me?

     > Nod. <
Dietrich: Having heard these tales many times now... I consider no other possibility.
Fabio: It gladdens me to hear that you believe the truth.
   I had never guessed that I might form such a connection with a surface dweller.
Dietrich: What is the difference between your existence and that of a god?
Fabio: I am human. Thoroughly and truly human. And I take pride in being human.
   I do not accept the divinity of these beings who call themselves gods and hold the surface in thrall.
   Agartha entrusts much of its decision-making to an entity known as Vritra.
   Truth told, even those who lead Agartha do not truly apprehend Vritra's thoughts.
   Perhaps I, after all this time, have wearied of that.
   I consider it my mission to obey the orders of a distant machine whom I scarcely comprehend.
   Yet I was never plagued by doubt. Until now.
   Is it the sun? Is it you three? I feel a change...
   Though I say this to you, I do not intend to abandon my task.
   I must head to the desert to confirm what I learned from the Grand Megalith.
   But not simply to fulfill a mission. I, myself, am curious.
Dietrich: You will have my aid.
Fabio: Are you quite sure? My objective lies far from Dagsion.
[ Dietrich nods. ]



- so we're definitely going to be there for that.

GRASITHA!!! WOOOO HERO'S RELIC

oh cool I did call it right. GIRLS ALSO BECOME EVIL BEASTS! #Equality




Okay it is really funny if the Agarthans have such a superiority complex over "at least we don't worship fucking Dragons" but they devote the same totality of faith to. a computer. sorry.



Yeah actually I could drop out of the games at this point huh.




Oh hey it's my dude.

( Support: Esmeralda + Fabio (c) )

HE'S A BEAUTIFUL BEAST SO IT'S FINE


Hey a cutscene.
Oh hey it's the goon squad.





LMAO EVERYONE HATES ART.



( Also, interlude: Heart Cores and Calendars, mostly calendars ) While transcribing ch 5 I looked for that "secret of our bodies" context (gone over in that entry), but I had additional notes here that didn't make it there, so: (the fact [the Agarthan/Mediator Heart Core] is form / functionally similar to a crest stone is not lost on me!)

I also double-checked the calendar re: Fabio's line about the church founding. If we assume "over 260 years ago" means "somewhere between 261 and 269 years ago", and we know by the Adrestian/Fodlan Imperial calendar that it happened in 185 (thus allowing the post-timeskip Millennium festival in 1185) — or, putting it another way, if the Church was founded 260+ years ago, and 3h takes place 995 years after founding, then the pre-TS events of this game precede pre-TS 3h by ~725-735 years.

So, Dagdan year 1449 is an Adrestian/Fodlan year between ~445 and 455. Simplest estimation is to just say their calendar years have exactly +/-1000 years for conversion.

This is well after the War of Heroes (Fodlan Calendar 32–98), but well before the invasion By Dagda (FC 721), the invasion Of Brigid (728), the retaliatory invasion Of Dagda (747), or the founding of Faerghus (751) and Leicester (901).

This takes place between the events described in the 3h Library's "History of Fodlan, pt 1" (FC -14–98) and "pt 2" (FC 721–1101).




TL;DR: The difference between "what year is it" in the Dagdan and Fodlan calendars is 1000 years.
The distance in time between the events of pre-skip FW and pre-skip 3h is ~730 years.

Everything about this meeting is hilarious





-21 does match if we exclude the Crest of Flames.
Wait hey. If Lamine/Endless is the "3rd mark" of Founder Ildy & there's 21 bloodmarks & 7 founders. That means each founder should have 3, right? Dagda had 3. Balor... well those are easy to determine. Let's come back to this later.

I'm actually surprised they parted Dietrich from his sword (in that I'm surprised he handed it over)

this thing. which then cracks apart like a solid object and not like an organ. so.

hey. doesn't this look like a heart core. has this been the intended "we don't have time to get into it" backstory the whole time. Do they all have the same body types as Mediators.

( Sidequest: Heretics Cave investigation logs transcript
1 ⁕ 2 ⁕ 3 ⁕ 4 ⁕ 5 ⁕ 6

Investigation Log: Febrai 22, 1449

Upon reaching the deepest part of "Heretics' Cave," we were stunned when a strange object appeared before our very eyes. A door.

We immediately took note of the odd writings on its surface. It was clear that the etchings were of some ancient language, but with the cave's darkness and the door's deterioration, it was impossible to decipher its meaning.

Investigation Log: Febrai 23, 1449

After our many attempts to open the door, a strange sound began echoing all around us. That's when THEY showed up. We were swarmed by figures wreathed in lightning.

They were strong, far stronger than us. And before I knew it, my companions had been cut down one after another. I was going to be next. I was terrified, so I abandoned them. I ran. But now I'm lost, and I can't remember which way I came from... I'm not making it out of here, am I?

Investigation Log: Febrai 25, 1449

It's been days since I've eaten, and it seems I've hit yet another dead end. From beyond the darkness, I see their glow and hear their ominous footsteps. Those lightning things are coming for me.

My time here is almost over. But I should at least have enough oil in this lamp to write my final words. Farewell. We should never have tried to open that cursed door. If you're reading this, do not search for my body. LEAVE. If you don't, I fear...







wonder if we'll ever find out what the doors say.





purple tron basement




girl me too. I like my bird time...



HAHAHA. Oh my god. was this his epiphany earlier? THAT'S SO FUNNY.

EVIL ELEPHANT
wait duh of course we get elephants in the Hannibal room...

BASED ON REAL HANNIBAL

IT WAS EARTH ALL ALONG?




WAS THAT IT. WAS IT "OUR MODERN WORLD ENDED (AND DRAGONS SHOWED UP) AND CIVILIZATION STARTED OVER" ? WAS IT THAT? THE WHOLE TIME???

Man. these chapters are fast. Wasn't Cai in Dagsion by now... checks. Yeah Cai was enrolled in the games by end of 3.




Hey it's these guys!




also. fucked up.

Shenlo that voice is WAY too deep.

Hey it's Vinicius! So does she take off the mask for a kiss or nah.




THE IDIOT



Intro to Dagsion narration is also the same as in Cai's path. Hey. Will I be able to recruit Seteth...

Fabio I'm so sorry. It's a meathead tourney. Of course meathead schemes work.

Now that I'm in town running around. Man. His model does look stupid as hell w/o the evil cape. That's so funny.

I like that Dietrich gets immediate lowtown access.

Mikaela! Majide! bg Maria! The M's all here!!

also. You're at a bar.... everyone who drinks will probably smell a little like booze... in the booze house...




LMAO THEY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER MAKING A SPRITE-WITH-CLOAK




easy there handsome

LMAO? PUPPET? BEAUTIFUL FACE




Okay he does look sick as hell
but esme looks like she's vtubing her playthrough and maria looks like a dono png in the corner about to relay me a paid chat message. framing... oops



Pretty boy...

"HAHAHA HA"

hi Maria

Oh my god. Majide are you crying???
also love that I instantly stole the ... wait LMAO WAIT. NOT ONLY did they not give Majide a sprite w/ the cloak. THEY DIDN'T BOTHER TO MAKE A DIETRICH SPRITE WITHOUT THE CLOAK???

LMAO YOU ONLY LET HIM LIVE BC OF WITNESSES?

ESME DO YOU WANT ME TO MURDER THIS GUY???




LMAOOO FABIO

Oh hi Mikaela. Wow she just. invites herself. I fully thought there would be more setup than this considering she's an Official party member (unlike Guzran).

LMAO DIETRICH "speak to this man about your wage (I have no money and don't intend to handle it in the future)"




Ewww organ thread



Frighteningly strong. And beautiful!




Ok Raksha get it.




all types of attention I JUST GOT HERE.



"you're said swordsman" lmaoooooo......




THAT FACE Yeah it wasn't (clear) in the trailers but his sword was trembling on its own when Dietrich swung it at Talimun's throat.



3/21 evening.




Salted sheep cheese...



hi Ultand

LMAO FABIO. But what if I don't want to!
Bro you had no suggestions you don't get to veto.




LMAO DIETRICH.



Fabio you act like you've never encounted the Author's Convenience before.




He...??? Fabio are u good.




MIKAELA LMAO "y'all freaks but ilu"



I still don't have calendar access so idk when my match is but it is time for my Talimun date.

Hi Maria! Again! Why are you guys trying to kill each other... aren't you both in my fanclub...

That SAILOR!

Lmao. dietrich you really are so funny. Talimun you are also so funny. Why can't I play your route. No fair.

Also comparing to where I was on Cai's path chapter-wise... I still haven't unlocked free time here? Wild.





BIG CAT. i love him.



okay I do find Answerer's Cry funny when enemies were just. Always visible on Cai's map.




OH!!! Sidequests come pre-cleared... that does make each subsequent route easier in terms of managing free time.




dashbird confessional




🙂





hmmmm...



Doing the gift-and-chat run (Yang Jie was the mandatory recruit):
- Gaitz is recruitable! but hard modes, so that's a 2nd run kinda guy.




Peppe is so short...




THEY'RE SO FUCKING 12 YOUR HONOR.



okay lol? I can steal BOTH cai's retainers?? AND buccar?? I couldn't steal ANY retainers on Cai's route.

MAP IS UNLOCKED



also okay interesting... I don't think I had these (blue arrow) "run into non-essential cutscenes" w/ Cai.

I don't know if carriages should have been available this early, but I doubt it... they let me pass through checkpoints with higher renown requirements than I've met, so I was able to vs a lvl 15 map when I'm """locked""" to lvl 5 areas. Oops.

( Support: Dietrich + Esmeralda (c) )
SUGAR RADAR
SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF
AND NOT TELL FABIO!!!

god they're so cute/stupid


→ main match →
If I remember right, Cai's fight w/ Ally Dietrich was w/ Anatolia... let's see if that's what match this is + how differently it plays out.




Oh hi raksha!
waow... you smell so strong + sexy Raksha...




WOW LMAO THIS IS SO FUNNY? WDYM she gets unmasked in the penultimate chapter of Cai's route and here she's unmasked before my first colosseum match?

Ofc nothing about her anything would mean anything (unless you remember the trailers) but. still funny. Hi babe ❤





OH. LMAO? NOT THE BRAINWASH KISS LMAOOOO




oh hi maria



OH! FANCY SKILL.

oh this cutscene looks the same?
Yeah the C/D/A scene is 100% identical, which is weird because it's definitely "filmed" from a Cai-route POV.

Poloni's history lesson:
Battle of Tarvos: ~1600 years ago (predates imperial calendar)
- Iskandariya ruled for > 1000 years

NO THEY GAVE ME TIALLA BUT NOT PETER NOOO I HAVE NO ARCHERS....

ACROSS A GAME BOARD. AND DEBATE. Strategy.

I feel like I have to steal her so my dudes can live their Phoenix Wright teen girl sidekick dreams.

New scene! With ❤ babe
and the Hawk-looking Soldier guy




Oh?? 👀 Are you? Agarthan?
does he have corpse hands too...




OH HI SOLEL YOU LOOK. happy.




HELLO?
3rd mark of Founder Ildánach. (is that irish.)
 [Yes. from "Samildánach (Modern Irish: Samhaildánach [ˈsˠawəlʲ d̪ˠaːnˠəx]; 'equally skilled in many arts')"]




LMAO the delivery on this is Really good. I like that Solel and Iliana sitting next to each other had secret convos w/ their retainers they did Not want one another to hear. Why? ❤ aren't you ❤ ma~rr~ied? ❤❤

freak. glorious emotions...

Oh is this like. He's been alive so long that anything novel is a treat even if it sucks?

BEAUTIFUL STRANGER




LMAO JESUS. i knew I was getting a freak show but man the gas pedal is DOWN.



dagDAh.

okay that's 3 beauty remarks.



- doesn't have the "Wen" or duality yet.




again: love how this disguise literally does nothing




looks like the advanced classes I unlocked on Cai's route followed me over. Neat! I can put Fabio on one of those fucking birds




and support isn't at 0 so that might carry too [I had not yet taken any action in this battle when this was captured].










ALLOW ME TO DEMONSTRATE (immediately whiffs it)




What a freak




okay I love the purple Immaculate scarf though. I want one.




A WEE BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!




FECKLESS PAGAN
Okay it is funny like. I know it's the Church of Seiros. but. in 3h. I don't think anyone ever... prayed to / entreated... Seiros........ it was always straight to The Goddess.




the Goddess provides. even + especially to liars + weirdos.



GREAT GRANMOTHER. That. doesn't narrow it down much bc those bitches lived like 700 years probably.




HAHA GOD. YOUR WHISPERS ARE NOT QUIET.

Okay so Fabio is old enough

Esme....




oh gross lmao. I would also rather be eaten by animals than marry that dude.



Your scent? FABIO YOU'RE SO RUDE

FABIOOOOOO




oh???
Fabio: There is little reason to believe in these spirits the villagers speak of.
> Beings we cannot perceive infesting the natural world, intervening on our behalf—guiding us.
> The 10 Elites of Fodlan held such faiths.
> The people of Brigid and Duscur are also well-known for thinking this way.
> Many religions are simply responses to the wonders of nature—the unseen and the inexplicable.
> They imbue natural forces with personalities, as a way of understanding them better.
> Beliefs arise naturally as people build a conception of how the world works, vague as it may be.
[...]
Dietrich: What, then, did we meet in the forest? Are you denying the evidence of your eyes?
Fabio: That was no spirit. Most likely, it was just a human.
Dietrich: Yet they moved faster than the eye can follow. They evaporated like mist. They were human?
Oh my god their little debate is so funny. I'm reminded of that joke about trying to play an atheist in a D&D setting like "so what if gods walk among us? They suck."

olesia: (Default)
After having finished Cai's route and ruminated for. the amount of time it took to actually post all these entries, I've had some thoughts and some things I want to look for in the other routes. So, intermission thoughts/wants/reviews.

so much of this is just "what is your deal???"

- So this is fully Earth. Hong Hua talking about the Chinese, Real World Chinese creation myth, means
This is?? EARTH?

Truly never saw that coming.

Anyway.
- Glad to see Related nabateans so we could see that crests are hereditary for them too. Flayn really DID get her crest from her mom.

- Why did Dagda have three though.
→ Is. wait. is this an indication that he got them after drinking Flamma, or did he pass these crests to his kids the normal direction.
(Solel was killed before the cauldron was fixed, but flamma was (probably??) being produced when the cauldron was busted, so idk either way if Solel got Dranked)

- I still don't know what the Ribeira banner is supposed to look like.

- Solel DID die mid-story, which I expected, and Castor did NOT, which i did NOT expect.

- I feel like Eshmel might actually BE Solel now. The crests, "returning light to an enshrouded world", the fact he's the fuck up who married Yu Phas, everything else.

- Still don't know who the "blessed exile from legend" is.
→ actually wait. if This Is Earth, this might actually. be. Abrahamic Faith Abraham's Son Ishmael. oh my god lmao they really did put islam in this game. muhammad's spear. that jehosephat prophet guy in the background. the fact there's noa and nowah and that's so obviously both noah. lmaooo.

- that pole star prophecy from the very beginning of the route never came up again, did it?

still don't know Cruaidín's deal w/ Bertrand.

- the green dude who showed up with Iliana during her first appearance -- never saw him again.

- I am not only convinced Cai's crew were originally planned & written as 12-year-olds, I fully believe their writing in the game as it stands now only makes sense if they're preteens.

- I don't know who Suarez is or how he died.

- Still don't know Seteth's original mission.

- People I can ID in he Ahm Lu cauldron painting: raksha (bottom right), Dagda (upper left), Fortuna (behind him), Jurah (facing him), Smyrnos (right of them, by the lion), Credna (right of them, masked)
I don't think I see Mars, Solel, Kalla, or Aurora
don't know who the green one on the far upper left is

- still don't know why Yu Phas banned writing
or why she got executed

- Why did Heretic's Cave (people of the white egg-affiliated) and the Waterfall cave (very Agarthan) both have the Evil NASA satellite logo

- what's the Smouldering Sword (caps retained from game)

who was the Blackfire flame lord

WHO IS AURORA'S REAL FATHER

how many missing person quests were there (that weren't the painting). did they all become flamma

what is the room that one dude is guarding.

who is vinicius
what's the deal with ""raksha's kiss"" and its loyalty enforcement. is it flamma. is it evil dead pussy.

why does Iliana (pretending to be Yu Phas) hate Cai's eyes (when they look like Yu Phas's) so much. Is it Yu Phas she hates or is it Lyrah (similar shade). Does Iliana have a different eye shade.

- when DID Iliana show up. Why are there "two" "resurrections" of Yu Phas and why are both of them ""secret""

what's nomved's dead
what's the garden of nibbana
can i go into yu phas's temple in theodora's route

why is Lind obsessed with Mama Jurah

why are Seteth, Nuzzuo, and Kiroc the only recruits who can't A-support Eshmel.

- What is fortuna's DEAL. what's going on with Sothis!!!!

- why ARE we trying to wake dagda. why is solel holding a "let's wake daddy" tournament when he's the one who put daddy in a coma in the first place.

- what happened to Hong Hua's "stolen" kid.

- will we ever learn anything of substance about Sai
- will... we ever....... get any information about... Almyra.........

- Why DID Dietrich ally with Lyrah. how did he learn her real name. will that still play out if I'm the one guiding his future.

Balor is referred to as a "Founder", which credna explained, as a category, refers to "the seven most ancient of nabatea", who were created directly by sothis.
who are the other six... I assume Dagda was one of them? but most of the other dagda gods we meet are either dagda's kids or balor's kids. who are the rest...

- what's Lyrah's connection to Anna. basically all the other shared crests we see are familial...

- will Balor be an evil 4 year old in the post-skip war phase. How fast will he age.

- WHAT is Talimun's ENTIRE DEAL.


Going forth, I'm going to. start a new notebook and continue my journey with Dietrich and Club Freakshow ✌

Tali what's your deal.
I'm so perplexed. Was this supposed to happen naturally in the story or not... why is it slotted in the archive as if it were...
It's also uncanny without any music.

HELLO?




Oh! I think the icons are for the paralogues! interesting!!!

Okay very funny that it took a whole [paper] notebook for one route.

also it's wild that Part 2 is skippable. When it's literally nothing but. maps and cutscenes. It's all story. Who would skip this...




A LESBIAN!!!




Peppe 😭 I can't believe your summer abroad turned out like this. Why don't you get to be in the room of royals. Bertrand knows your deal!!





god i know he's writing these books but i want to see the "sis you would not BELIEVE the shit i went through" conversation with rhea when he gets back to fodlan like crazy. does he just drop his manuscripts on her desk and then crawl into his saint-coffin in the basement for X00 years.




Oh hey! Those were there in the prologue... but the statues aren't here yet?




Hey Lind. who are YOUR parents.




Man. That does explain a full apocalypse of resentful dead. Wild that this might not even be part of the apocalypse-we're-trying-to-avert.



( Cai: Part II - Chapter 5 )


Wild that they let this continent keep this dude's name after the fact.

Man! Fucked up!

SPEAKING WITH? BERTRAND? NOW you're stupid.

HELLO! CUTE.




godshield...




girl it is WAY too late for that.

I love that he gets the little "savor the aroma before chugging it" animation.




Hey! I'm a bird!




Ohhh my god is he THAT SCARED OF MOMMY?




GUYS WHY ARE YOU HERE (AND ALIVE)

haha wait. so. for fun. I tried deploying with only the three mandatory units. and it autofulled the missing spots with unrecruited/unrecruitable characters.





What the fuck is Lyrah




Dagda's crests: Revival, Earth, Auger. (Jurah, Kalla, Solel/Credna)
the Skyblotter




Hey it's my guy!




Hey... my crest is gone...




but my profile still shows future years

the purple blood




GOD INTO THE CAULDRON

LMAO THE CAUTIOUS TRAIPSE DOWN THE STAIRS

ALSO. HOTTIE!!!



LMAOOO. SO this is like. "what if Rhea was actually evil. If we wanted Rhea and Sothis to be evil it would look like this."
I love her.




I LOVE HER!!!



Profile cards: You Cannot Go Alone:


Bonaventure: Only a couple additions from his appearance in Chapter 4.




Tobias: Dislikes: using his brain... buddy....




Lysander: Wait did they only settle who would be included in the party AFTER they got to Dagsion?




Lilian: Oh like Nydine her family backed the Wrong Heir to the throne. That's so interesting.

[As a note: all my units also acquired the Saramis-Brezarant affiliation in Chapter 2, but since that was the only profile card change, I didn't bother to include it.]

what the heck IS flamma




the biggest, shallowest bowl.




WAIT. IT WAS SOTHIS who did it??




oh?? she's just sleeping??? wait.
Seteth established this is after 10 elites... does dagda (this guy + his country) know Sothis has been scrapped for parts.... what is the Deal.





HER TRUE FORM? 👀 can we see it

WHY NOT JUST DESTROY MY OWN COUNTRY
that mom told me to protect...

god how fucked up.




this is so funny WHY IS IT TWO ROYALS AND A BABY.

3/10
THE BASE... IS IT DIFFERENT?




yeah i'll bet




URSULA BABY




it's the same term [as in 3h] for a reason but i'm still (???)




looking pretty rough there G
I love his growl but oh my God he's clearly dying.




Slaughtering insurgents, huh? Unpopular king, huh? I will say it's interesting even contained in one route (pre-war) how much shit was going on elsewhere.




HAHAHA STEPMOMMY...!!!




bro your eyes
bro i don't think that's how that works.





BERTMAMA????
NEW MILF UNLOCKED





Not usually a lot to say on battle maps but lolll nothing to say about YOUR king?




and. GAYYYY.




HELLO??? UNUSUAL is an understatement.
after how many characters were introduced before release i'm SHOCKED that we keep seeing new ones.

OH! IT'S CREDNA. oh hi Jurah! I wondered where you went!




CAI YOU MET JURAH. YOU KNOW HER!!

Kalla too! Even though we killed her girl!!

Wait hang on.

I thought Jurah was also... his kid...?


FLAMMA! OH HE'S DRUGGED UP TOO
DRUNK ON EVIL DEAD PUSSY!!

i wondered if we were ever going to learn what flamma was (other than "how humans get the boss mode bonus health bar")




JESUS CHRIST LMAO




Wait hang on. Then?? Why was Solel holding the tournament to wake him up?? (EDP???)



Profile cards: surprise guest Argonians:


Aswan: (+Stats) I literally never expected her to be a unit considering she was never featured in the pre-release information, but wow!! cool!! But man it looks like she assumed Bertrand died 3 years before she got married to Gilchris, then found out THE NEXT YEAR that he was (probably) alive. What a juicy fucking subplot??? Also she has the Diadem of Earth, the Kalla/Leda bloodmark.




Tahonia: (+Stats) Okay this HAS to be Bertrand's mom, right??? I tried to have them interact on the map, but there was no dialogue... if yes she would have been ~28 when he was born. Bodyguard for Aswan ~two years before the "[Aswan] becomes friends with Bertrand and Gilchris" line. No bloodmark.

OH solel's Already dead?? damn lol.

WOAH SARAMIS has white dudes. who aren't ashy....???
actually theodora why are you still Arm'd.

oh hey Troy. the person? because she makes it sound like a place.

Hey if Dagda declared war on Saramis. why are saraminians allowed into the capital area.

anyway it's very funny that they left "Laura, living as a human life" in her goddess dress and not her disguise robes.

Ultand. why do you still have a job. Aurora's retired. oh good Aurora also knows this.

Actually Aurora shouldn't you go with them to Saramis. they love you there.

Alright. Actually. before I get into the battle of war arc. I'm going to chapter jump and see if I can find those matches I missed.


( Conversations in the Obelisk Chamber )

Hong Hua: No doubt Nuwa has stopped functioning entirely by now.
> I've only read what remains in the village records and heard a bit more from Master Zenon, but...
> apparently that ship's name comes from the snake in an ancient, long-forgotten creation myth.
> The old world had a number of ships the size of Nuwa, or so they say.
> The thought of it boggles the mind...
Troy: By the way...the culture vat, or incubation tank... how did you find it? Was it comfortable?
> It just occurred to me how boring it must have been if you were conscious before your body was finished.
> I was made in a tank like yours too, you know. Though that was a long time ago.
> So don't go thinking I'm some random elder. I may be getting on in years, but this body is custom-built.
> Nuwa was getting old too... Yours must have been a difficult birth, but I'm sure she's proud.
Fortuna: I'm sure you have questions regarding the mechanisms of causality.
> But they can all be answered by saying that what you witness beyond these obelisks is considered truth.
> Just know that our windows of interference with each person's causality are limited.
> We must carefully choose our moments to tip the scales in our favor.
> And when I say "we," I mean "I."

( And then I replayed a bunch of stuff in Part I to look at supports and then didn't complete the route this way so none of the actual recruited units followed me into Part II )


i like this guy's gauntlet.

okay neat thing is the support levels follow you backwards? so you can build (alternate universe) supports. they won't count for second phase/act unless you re-complete the route. i think? i haven't switched routes but i don't THINK they'll carry sideways..... but who knows? everyone else.
( Support: Peter + Ultand (a) )

oh, Castor + Aurora were still on the run when he was born..... so where WAS he born???
- Estie left while pregnant? (Peter is older than Cai)


( Support: Peter + Sofia (c) )
Petey...

HE LIKES HER........... NO HE'S TOO SCARED OF AFFECTION........
ultand you are barred from cradles, marry this guy.


( Support: Ultand + Tobias (c) )
oh. nagging........
LMAO SOMEONE EVEN MORE PROBLEMATIC THAN HER.
"You're my dad's age." / "I bet she'd make a good wife to someone. .... wait, I'M someone!"
> The twin jewels of arago -- the one that confused me so bad for having missed.
okay it really was just. they broke her mask. but w/o watching it, it felt WAY more left field.
also seeing this in retrospect w/ all the Yu Phas info... I'm reminded that Cai pulled the "You remind me of my mom" card on Orchel and Iliana in the same chapter. To Orchel without seeing her face and Iliana by only seeing part of it.
( Support: Tialla + Ultand (a) )
"I'm your big sister now" it's fine. it's cute.


( Support: Cai + Alexandra (a) )

the other thing i'm doing in this half-ass mid-replay is: checking in on Lind, who I did not know was HERE the whole time and.

( Support: Tialla + Io (c) )
Ohhh it's military backstory! grandpa stuff?
ohh reunited childhood acquaintances. tialla this guy is WAY hotter than Cai (@ """15"""), you should trade up.
it is weird to watch them flirt by complimenting their respective skills-but-only-as-inherited from their parents.

HOLY. I WAS HOPING FOR BUT NOT EXPECTING final match vs Bertrand! COOL!




girl is he not your real dad.




NOOOOO CAI NOT THE ACCEPTANCE OF FUTURE GRIEF



hey girl




BITCH WHEN IS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ALL THESE FUCKING SUPPORTS LMAO
( Support: Tialla + Seteth (b) )

Tialla do you have permission to reveal that.




NO. NO.......... I'M NOT CRYING (IM DEFINITELY CRYING) GOD
SETETH... !!! It doesn't have to be perfect... the one you care for will never forget you... i am in SHAMBLES.

tho seteth. how would you know you haven't forgotten them. that's the thing with forgetting..... u..... forget........
also he's 500+ at this point which still tells us nothing.

noooooooo
fuck u dragon dad!!!!!


( Support: Peter + Ultand (b) )
oh NO...... continuity from a DIFFERENT support chain.
Nightblossom Estie! Oh that's funny. His A support w/ Tialla was locked behind this one. [totn: This one was locked behind his B support with Tialla]


( (Support: Peter + Tialla (a) )
LMAO "you're a good person" "you're just realizing that" peter u dick


( Support: Peter + Ninae (b) )



god she's so rukacore. i love her.


( Support: Ultand + Tialla (b) )
oh this one was locked too. that's so interesting.
girl this is not much about your actual family


( Support: Peter + Ursula (c) )
I can't get over her fucking accent. Why is she the only character who sounds like this. It doesn't fit her vibe at all...

does british english really pronounce it as... shedjule. like maybe that's more what it was originally compared to american english's skedjule but it just sounds like she's slurring......
anyway the support itself is just Ursula is a person with hobbies... which is cute... but god peter's support list is so potpourri. why is ursula here. why is jester here. why was NINAE here.


( Support: Cai + Ultand (a) )
we're family!!!!!
"get parents back together so we can be a family"
hey cai maybe convince your parents to give you a little sibling before he dies so you have SOMEONE to hang out with for the next five hundred years. this is a situation you want a baby sibling for even if you are. technically. old enough to be an irresponsible father.

ultand. ultand. we JUST had the "we're family" declaration literally ten seconds ago. why would you question "you're important to me" on the heels of "you're a sister to me." girl.
ultand don't soft launch your marriage proposal HERE. this timing sucks!!

UNFORTUNATELY. this is also one that makes wayyyy more sense—and also is wayyyyy worse—if Cai is actually 12. even the absolute worst writers among the "aging up characters from cartoons to put them in a sex game" crowd pulls off characterization+tonal adjustments better than this


( Support: Cai + Tialla (a) )
PLANTS
omg cai you just want to read manga. i can finish if there's pictures! get this boy a naruto.




CALLED IT.
that's so funny. girl why are you so important and also Not appearing in this game. WE COULD HAVE USED ANOTHER MILF!!!

TIALLA. YOU'RE TOO INTENSE.

hey
hey
why did this fade to black
HEY. WHY DID THIS FADE TO BLACK
ill kill him.


( Support: Cai + Esmeralda (a) )
FISHING
guys did you catch a fucking walrus




HE HAS IT SO BAD FOR EZZIE... AND SHE'S SO CUTE!!



"they grow up so fast" on the one hand, 18yo being snarky would say this to a 15yo. but also. ALL THESE DYNAMICS... ACROSS THE BOARD.... CAI IS 12!!!!!!!
how old are the writers for this game. do they just not know how ages work.
anyway he's cute. this one as "I (the boy w/ the crush on the much older girl) will tell you about it later (when you don't look at me like I'm 12 because I'm 12)" is. way better than the other person pulling it. (ULTAND WHEN I GET YOU)


( Support: Ninae + Peppe (b) )

more spirit talk. this is such a cute dynamic actually




hey girl wait who is your dad. checks notes. i don't have anyone else down w your crest..... (reflection/gloucester)
oh right it's that this-route-irrelevant temple guy

aww.... he wants the skill too...
hey didn't you say your shamans could talk to spirits tho peppe. why can't they teach people/teach you...




aww!! she actually volunteered to be an interpreter (medium). peppe do you want to talk her home w/ you too. this is the study abroad problem. you can't marry and bring home EVERY cute girl.....

but honestly ninae. get it. PEPPE YOU SHOULD MARRY HER


( Support: Ludia + Tialla (b) )
ludia would have LOVED shez


( Support: Ludia + Esmeralada (c) )
> boy finds a talking stone
oh real? you were up late reading blue beetle? with our boy jaime? no wonder you were up all night.
esmeralda doesn't have downtime it's fine.


LIKE SKELETONS???????????



ME. SKELETONS???


( Support: Ludia + Seteth (b) )

me





SHOT........ DOWN!!!!!



ludia i respect the hustle. but wait. your dad who is actually just a normal (military) dude has multiple wives..... has this come up anywhere else???
GIRL. I ACTUALLY ALSO WANT TO KNOW ABOUT HIS (DEAD?) WIFE?

nooooo... DID HE LITERALLY SPRINT OFF. LMAOOO SETETH I GET IT BUT I HATE YOU!!! TELL ME ABOUT YOUR (DEAD??) WIFE!!!!

oh hey free spear.


oh my god that was so many supports.

→ [ final fight ]





you know okay i am actually surprised we did not get a secret fifth unit [as in, present in the narrative w/ supports with our other required units, which the Unkillable Guzran does not have]. (or was it so we could cycle in Castor / Aurora without ever getting either of them permanently?)
Centy what's your problem.
Bro. Always with the drama!!!

What............... dad?! LMAO....!!!!
CASTOR YOU BITCH....!!
that's so funny. STUPID OLD MAN!!
i love this for us.

oh hey it's the title theme!




were those always there. idk but it's probably fine.




he's SUCH A BITCH
hey. why are your hopes + ambitions to die in prison.




unrelated but the mounted unit hot girl cross-leg side saddle pose is. really cute.




dante did NOT pronounce "zounds" right. IT RHYMES WITH WOUNDS, LIKE BODILY HARM AND BLEEDING OUT. NOT SOUNDS!!! IT'S SHORT FOR GOD'S WOUNDS!!!!! ANOTHER DING AGAINST ENGLISH LANGUAGE VOICE ACTORS NONE OF YOU KNOW WHAT WORDS SOUND LIKE!!!!





AT THE KRISPY KOLOSSEUM (i love him)
(maybe this is why his recruitment reqs were Basically Impossible... 😭)




i think??? this is the first time ive had an eshmel intervention.... i forgot it was a mechanic bc i only ever did bird time w cai until i remembered... seteth exists...




yaaay we won.... time for nonsense!!
also. when did he get so purple. is he dying too.




LMAO AURORA. castor don't cross your arms while your wife is beating your ass!!
YEAH IDIOT WHEN YOU TRY THROWING YOUR LIFE AWAY. THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU. GET UPSET + START CRYING. YOU FUCKING IDIOT i love him.



hey. i didn't even blaze in the final. don't call me by my jewel!!!! that's rude!!!
LMAO BABY SLAP
YEAH NOW YOU CLEAR THE ROOM.




OH. HELLO. LMAO?
hey wait gramps rewind that. who were the eye witnesses. let's interrogate that a second.
bro ty for not being weird about this. you can still write.



LAURA.... that's cute.




MOM YOU'RE SO STUPID 😭 I LOVE YOU




LMAO THE DYSFUNCTION BEGINS




Oh hey babe ❤
ohhhh you're so panicked about the daughter of the woman you're pretending to be ❤ you manipulative bitch ❤
oh hey man are you finally suspicious of your brought-back-from-the-dead (by your enemies) ""wife"" with amnesia and no desire to reconnect w/ her former self? finally? hmm?
no. (maybe.)

ROUTE PART I END. uh. hello!!!!!!




Profile cards: STOLE THOSE GIRLS:


Ludia: Should I know who Senghor is.
LMAO why does the trading company have an entrance exam.


Ursula: (+Stats) Technically saw this already with the allied match with Talimun, but I'm still dying over the age gap between her and Ludia. It's so funny. I think after this route I'm going to have to start sorting which characters are Human, Gods, demigods, humans but stupidly long-lived... wasn't this something Shamir complained about in 3H actually. oh well.

Hey wait. this is what Rhea's golems look like...
[tot: How on earth did I point them out in chapter 5 for being mossy and not for BEING RHEA'S GOLEMS.]





I'm sure it'll be fine.


( Support: Cai + Alexandra (b) )
LMFAO THAT WAS BARELY A SCENE.


( Paralogue: Orchel )
okay i've suspected that she's built to look like yu phas. and this might be part of why she needed a mask + also why aurora still can't come out but (???)

why is her hair so FUCKING BIG tho




oh lol there it is.
well that explains why she has Apostle. LOL. ISN'T SHE A MACHINE..... what Is the deal.




cai.... do YOU know...... bc if anyone should have her stuff. isn't. #1 on that list... YOUR mom






HAHA IF YOU DIE IT CONFIRMS IT.
that's funny. that's apt.




wait if she's been operating for ~250 years why. is there a fake. lmao. when did iliana show up.



( Support: Ultand + Orchel (c) )

"uncle" credna - solel's brother?

well now everyone here knows. and SOMEHOW nobody said SHIT to aurora down there? I feel like the hammer is falling.




Castor did not die this chapter.





Profile cards: I FORGOT WHEN I GRABBED THEM... OOPS.:


Ninae: (+Stats) Ah. 471. What a normal and reasonable age for a lovely young woman. AND she's a SCORPIO. And Nomved is that guy who hangs out in Credna's temple so i guess this is "father"... ?




Nuzzuo: I told you I was going to recruit him to make sure he survives. Another normal age!! It is always funny getting characters who are like, regular adults. On the kid route. and then despite traveling with a company of 5 adults per child we're still stuck in the child safety zone. Oh but 👀 conversing with spirits, huh. do you have a support with ninae or peppe. if not. WHY NOT.




Alexandra: Oh good a normal age. Lot of dead parents.


Profile cards: special guests / why the FUCK can't i recruit my FAMILY:


Orchel (with a face edition): So aside from having a face, a couple new things. The last two 1449 entries are new. Her title also changed from "Cat Priest" to "Lead Priest of Credna's Temple"




Castor: he got his birthday! One year older!




Goliath: LET ME RECRUIT YOU YOU BITCH. omg he's in his thirties. finally. respect.

seteth you're so funny. aren't these your cousins.



"It is a common misunderstanding that "Arc" refers to the weapon itself."

I'm sure it's fine

[Regarding the Bertrand vs Orchel match:]
Bertrand what the FUCK


( Support: Cai + Ultand (b) )

ULTAND ARE YOU FUCKING MY MOM


( Support: Ultand + Centurio (c) )
wait are those open (vulkan) spots bc castor will officially off payroll. was this support locked to after the painting mystery. hmm.


[So, funny story: this is the chapter where Paralogue quests are introduced, but unlike in 3 houses where you get plural chapters/months to do them, here they're not only "one chapter only", they're "maybe a 7-day window at the longest." So while playing this chapter I missed the deadline for the paralogue with Anna, decided it was worth redoing the chapter to see—only to find out there was a paralogue before that one that I had also missed.]


( Paralogue: Bertrand )

What do you mean Bertrand has to pay for the Trial he's in. what.




PEPPE WAS A NICKNAME???


LMAO

( Support: Peppe + Ultand (c) )

HE'S SO IN LOVE WITH HER
for all that this game promo was sooo relationship-oriented. it's nice that it actually reflects in chemistry and genuine interest. i do actually want to see them turn into wife guys in real time.




TWO SCREENS LATER!! BRO
I LOVE HIM




LOOK AT HIM FACE!!!!!!!!


( Support: Peppe + Ninae (c) )
SPIRIT TALK noo he's the cutest


NOOOO I LOVE HIM IM GONNA CRY

( Paralogue: Anna )
anna you fuckup



i wonder if we'll see more of this guy elsewhere





who wants to bet this is also why solel is so stupid about iliana (i love her)




we? our? gramps do you think we're on the same team when you still have an execution order on pops.

Solel: Back in 932, something unforeseen happened when a certain person was executed in Dagda's cauldron. It was said that an unknown force extended from within and damaged the cauldron severely. According to witnesses, that unknown force was like a spreading darkness.
Anna: Darkness? What do you think it was?
Solel: I have heard of a very rare few among the People of the White Egg with special hearts. The cauldron's destruction may have been caused by casting one such person into it. At any rate, my father was clearly unstable after that. Perhaps he feared losing access to flamma. The first thing he did was to order Magistra Raksha to repair the cauldron immediately. Those repairs were estimated to require a vast amount of orichalcum—50 years' worth of mining. But at the Divine Emperor's command, the necessary orichalcum was sent to Dagsion.
Anna: But if that's true, wouldn't Dagda's cauldron already be fixed?
Solel: Eight years after that incident, Father entered his long slumber. I became Divine Sovereign in his stead. I put a stop to Magistra Raksha's repairs and secured the cauldron underground. By my decree, the remaining orichalcum was used to create Arcs instead.
Anna: So you think Magistra Raksha may be plotting to pick up where the repairs left off? Maybe she hopes to have it done for the Divine Emperor's awakening after the Heroic Games.
Solel: But this makes no sense... Even if the heavens and earth turned upside down, there's no coming back from that. What does she know that I don't?
yeah typing this out was easier than trying to screencap the whole exchange. and you know i do love me some cauldron. i think he's ACTUALLY talking about Yu Phas's execution but i'm fuzzy on the dates here.

anyway that was a lot more info than I was expecting.




hey bud. how'd you get there.


tried chasing him, but i still don't have a boat. maybe i need to be on a bau...?



while im here i looked at the painting again and.
hey. raksha is in the mural. i'm sure it means nothing.
[bottom-right corner]

( Support: Peppe + Ultand (b) )
oh no buddy. BROKEN HEART....
came on too strong too fast....
BRO..............
it's ok you still have a chance with ninae.



hey you know old mushroom hat too? girl let's hang out
wait oh no. is she always unrecruitable.
CAN SHE NEVER HAVE PERFECT BIRD TIME???

Aurora: I understand that my mother, Yu Phas, hid her face behind a mask while living in the temple of Balor. There was a prophecy from the progenitor god that bad luck would follow if her face went uncovered. But, when my father inadvertently saw her face during his visit to the Isle of Sorrows... Well, he fell in love with her and implored her to leave the island with him. The story goes that she resisted my father's advances at first. In truth, she was never altogether displeased with the idea. They were a wonderful couple. Still, she did always seem to be a little melancholy. It's hard to explain. At the time, I didn't understand how she could feel that way.
—ok they got me, im really interested in Yu Phas's whole deal now.




BYLETH REFERENCE LOL.




I LOVE HIIIIIIM. okay i know there are too many characters so many don't have a lot of supports but PEPPE SHOULD HAVE HAD SO MANY MORE THAN THIS this is unfair. rude af. i love him.....




so it's drugs??



( Paralogue: Talimun )
god this chapter is so fucking dense why is this the third one.

oh my god this music is so funky



MAGIC CANNONBALLS?????????????????????




his delivery on this "damn" is so good



thanks cai
man. these cash rewards are real nice. ... woulda been nicer 2 chapters ago.



i am staring at you with Keen Interest.

( Support: Peter + Ultand (b?) )
from the other convos. we know peter's mom was prev a vulkan too. so w/ the absence of any other relatives, it's probable that Castor went to Ribeira bc she was there. idk how long Cai would have needed a wet nurse if his bd is in fake january and Castor left with him the next calendar year bc idk shit about babies, but (shruggies)




Aurora said she's turning 896. wonder how long it takes to get a temple.


okay. i had to look up where lind is. i may be stupid. seriously though has this been accessible this whole time. could i have been chatting up prologue miniboss all route. fuck??? HOW MUCH DID I MISS???

- dietrich's sister's name is Elfrida. i don't know if it'll be relevant.


i'm sure it's fine.


progress to match.
hey. that sigh doesn't sound right. cai are you evil now.

hey but the morrow comparison doesn't hold, right. bc he's not going to outlive any of his family members who came out of the painting. like. yeah. every day you can get is worth something. but.
buddy castor's death is going to fuck you up so bad.

"good things are good" wow.so profound lmao.

>> you have come further than I could have dreamt of at our first meeting
WHEN YOU TRIED TO CAVE MY SKULL IN?





Sorry Theodora if you're trying to make this a fate thing. Get in line.

"how did he get one [of the arcs/the fancy spear]" NEPOTISM! the games are RIGGED.

gramps did you not know.
also why didn't anyone tell cai using a TEMPLE ARTIFACT he got from his GODDESS MOM might. look suspicious. they're so stupid but i'm glad everyone is suspicious.



ILIAINA 🫵 YOU ARE NOT YU PHAS. THANKS.
are any of these girls the actual sisters. are they all replacements...




Max renown! time for. weird painting.

the timing on this is kind of hilarious actually.
who would i even give this to. is it special...




HELLO? ZOMBIE GIRL? YOU'RE EARLY!!!
who's troy. [embarrassingly, I did forget about Troy.]
WHO'S THE DEAD GUY

oh my god the symbol of saramis is just the steering wheel of a ship. i may be stupid.

Again!

OH YEAH BABE LET'S GET MARRIED
↳ real reason Cai isn't 12.


Profile cards: my recruits:


Penrose "Peppe" Peregrinus: It still kills me that his name is a better-kept secret than the fact he's SO OBVIOUSLY THE KING. 😭 i love him so much


Profile cards: special guests / this feels like a custody battle brewing:


Bertrand: (+Stats, +Unique Abilities) Okay him being this young is so funny. Made a general at 18. In prison for regicide by 20. Bertrand, are you worried you might have peaked early? Maybe he looks so much older bc stress ages you faster. I would have put him closer to 30.


Solel: (+Stats, +Class) HI GRAMPS. Okay so you don't have the same crest as Aurora/Cai, but it's the one assigned to Credna's temple? That's interesting. (Eshmel is also this one... who's responsible for this.)



Anna: (+Stats) Okay so on the one hand it is the same crest as Merchant Anna 3H, which is funny, but on the other hand what kind of title is THE FANATIC. are u just crazy about money.

we made the elite eight!!

it is funny that they framed Ultand joining as though it was a "you poor kids" thing and not "oh my god this is my BOSS'S kid." like obv they couldn't but the vibe is so different. it's very funny.

okay i really like buccar but the gulf between how much leda hates this guy [bertrand] vs how chill and Wronged he comes off in this route is really interesting.

HE'S SO CUTE...... AND SO BAD AT CONCRIT!! WILL YOU EVER LEARN, OLD MAN!!



lmfao. but also hey man how long have you been saying this. you're already calling yourself old now??? okay absolute funniest possible timelining of this vs 3 houses is that this game is prequel by thirty years max.





hey. uh.




so this sure is some agarthan shit right




so why is this thing here. wasn't this in the prologue somewhere. i could swear ive seen it before.
[correct. the cave pictured above is Cave Behind The (Zethus) Falls. (far NE on map) image below is from the Heretic's Cave (NW of Dagsion). the cave is really dark so i adjusted the lighting balance to make the design more visible.

so question is. are they both agarthan. are neither agarthan. is this a diverged path with a common source. the hell.

500 years ago huh
wait drake is a dude. did not see that coming.

isle of sorrows
that's not ominous.
grandpa huh. grandpa balor? am i resurrecting him now.


what's a sobriquet.
[sobriquet: A familiar name for a person or thing; a nickname (sometimes assumed by the person, but often given by others) that is descriptive. e.g., '"The Bard" is a sobriquet of William Shakespeare.' So he's swearing on... Corundum... the name he was given in the Temple, rather his name of birth. Interesting priority.]


OH THANK FUCK FAST TRAVEL!!!!!!!




oh i guess i should have wached the exhibition match, huh. i have no idea what she's talking about.

( Support: Cai + Ultand (c) )

oh no not starlogging duty!!!!
okay this is cute though. they're skill-matched bc their respective instructors were partners... so they got trained from the perspective that would account for the skills of the other...


oh hey actual astronomy.



HIS FACE IS SO GOOD.


blacksmith refining (the +1ing weapons): okay i KNOW this was in Hopes... but I can't remember if it was in Houses?




seteth bro... why ARE you telling me this... don't reveal you're on a mission to a child... i don't care how cute he is...



you know, w/ the marketing and indirect prequel-ness of this, I wonder how didn't-play-3h audiences take the Fodlan info. There's so much general worldbuilding, it might not even register? Certainly not more than Normalia.




okay funny thing is the #Arachnophobia mod I'm pretty sure is more for the giant fucking louses and the centipede-scorpion hybrids. HAVE i seen a single spider??




Problematic Age Gap Marriages: a Sothic tradition.



I can't believe they let him out of jail for this. [about mentoring with Bertrand leading into world map combat exercise]

( Support: Cai + Tialla (b) )
Cai's impression sounds NOTHING like castor. lmao??
his smile is so cute.
Tialla does NOT do an impression and i'm grateful. just bc you're all played by voice actors doesn't mean your characters should be pulling "im a voice actor" levels of impressions. Sometimes it's funny if it's really accurate (Balthus re: Hubert), and sometimes it's fun if it's clearly an affectation that's not *really* an impression (Claude re: Marianne), but Cai's VA is clearly imitating.... SOMEONE, really well, but that someone sounds NOTHING like Castor. I'm so confused. who is that.

anyway what the fuck is her grandpa's name.
GIRL YOU'RE SO DUMB.


Okay there's "chapter" locks and "part" locks. idk if this means "part" as in after time skip or if it means other route.
actually. does the merging units thing apply to support levels too. will it scale to highest or will it be sum... I assume highest. would be weird to get to C support three times and then post time skip they're at A




aww painting...




hey bonnie.... fill me in....




YANG JIE............ don't...........




yeah that uh. that is bad, huh.




oh so they're here too already... like the undead. dagda i gotta say. shit sucks. the giant wolves are probably way more tolerable.




Hey...... they don't let ME into the closed Yu Phas temple....




HUH................ divine emperor was Dagda, right. Is iliana really yu phas or is she faking it.... god i love her.




so that's a yes lol




Seteth...... you're so cute.

( Support: Cai + Esmeralda (c) )
fishing!!!!


who has time to nap GIRL WE GOTTA GET YOU OUTTA THERE
nooo he's so cute....
he's got a crush...... suck it tialla lmao





AWWW BABY. COME JOIN MY TEAM MAJIDE!!!!




THERE'S UNICORNS???????????????????




FAST TRAVEL..... IN-UNIVERSE FAST TRAVEL.... CRYING
okay the fact that so much of the map is blocked off on Cai's route (other than confirming 15 was NOT his original age) def is good for a first route... don't get too sidetracked...




the cleansing, huh. so like. is every faction in this game evil. bc it feels that way.
seteth you won't betray me right. not during your hot girl summer, right.

-no one ventures near
EXCEPT US! TODAY!!

WITH GHOSTS



wait so we're going to THEIR city that they're haunting bc of the brutality of their demise and we're coming from the capital of their annihilators... to kill them AGAIN??????
5/22



welcome back Millennium Items #myYgos




asks why they're getting thrown in a "lake". buddy that's a cauldron.



IT'S A CAULDRON WE'RE SO BACK BABY #MYYGOS

jp fantasy LOVES orichalcum. i don't think it ever shows up in western fantasy unless it's directly riffing on jpn works. [orichalchum is a metal that shows up in ancient greek and roman writing and is treated like a mythical substance. in english works, fantasy metal usually just steals lotr's mithril (or steals it + changes the spelling to mythril)]




I SWEAR TO GOD if this is where the cursed items come from i'm going to lose my mind #myYgos




buddy it's not alive. it doesn't eat people. you have to have people throwing people into it and heating them up to melt it for it to be dangerous. it's probably fine.

hey centurio. if you knew we needed to go to AN ISLAND. why didn't we BRING OUR OWN BOAT.




you know. if i remember right the hidden village in the prologue had a cracked shell thing going on. check prologue screenshots when i post this.

[ checked ↴ ]



-a hundred thousand souls killed in the cauldron. well. that is a much higher # than #myYgos, but also there's no fucking way the number is that high. (right....????)

nuzzuo you have every right to kill everyone. can i recruit you just to keep you alive.




babygirl you look so sad about that guy you revere


IS HE MY FIFTH? MY OBLIGATORY FIFTH.... please...



also. i love how creepy cai's dungeon vision is.

HEY I KNOW THAT BLOODMARK

"cai are you alright"
BITCH THE WRONG STIGMATA MIASMA

peter he's in PAIN don't be Mean

BITCH NO HE'S NOT ALRIGHT!!! HE SCREAMT!!!!


HELLO.... BITCH ❤❤



okay this is def a body. I am. In Muscle.




Hey. hey. why can't i check my profile. Hey.
Hey.

HEY IT'S MY DUDE I KEEP FORGETTING IS IN THIS GAME
hi sothis...!!!




HOLY SHIT A VOICE LINE.





I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR FOUR YEARS






Hey. hey. is this where byleth's "Ashen Demon" sobriquet was coming from.

Hey girl.
LMAO WASTE NO time w/ this one. Thanks!




Hey girl. your hands are also looking pretty corpsey.

Mahna...
Oh hey girl who are YOU related to. is it Leda...

So Fortuna is just Sothis with a cosmetic so her kids don't bug her, right...

>small wonder
yeah there's a catch before "she" in this line.



Profile cards: my recruits:


Majide: The very first time I encountered him I gave him a gift for support purposes and it turned out to Be His Birthday and i was like. i need this bastard immediately.


Profile cards: guest allies / temple twosome:


Centurio: It IS funny that, one, he's not recruitable here. It's ALSO funny that he has a C support with Cai... but it's not viewable in Cai's route? maybe? or maybe not until Part 2?? It's weird right.
