Congratulations! Byleth looks like so much fun, and I’m glad they finally acknowledged the weapon triangle.

The 29th can't come soon enough!

Thankfully I have enough stuff to do to kill the time until Byleth comes out.

Must be final post......before forced rest of work.........

I'll admit about Three Houses; last year it was my most anticipated game and I found it a bit disappointing. Just the presentation felt off that was all.
It also took place when Nintendo went full on psycho on the music takedowns so I couldn't actually play the game without getting about angry about that.

Now with Byleth in and depending on things over the next two weeks, I'll come back to do it and restart the game.

I’m going to finish my Blue Lions route. I love how the palettes look but I sort of wish that they had added the 3 lords as alt characters.

I'm also really happy with the stage cameos, Hilda in particular she is my favorite.

I got the game for Christmas and as of now I am really enjoying the characters and the world.

My favourite characters so far are Claude, Edelgard, Annette and the Black Eagles girl with the hat.

Probably my second favourite game of 2019

I wonder how viable would be the 3 lords as echoes...in a perfect scenario where we get further echoes

And i wonder even more how the community would react to that XD

Last year was weird for me games wise. I was full on excited for Death Stranding and Three Houses and both were just ok for me. To sum up last year it was nothing but Astral Chain, Trails and Detroit Become Human that I bought and completed.

I'll be getting Tokyo Mirage Sessions end of next week if I survive my workload.

One very last thing.

Has Byleth been updated in the "Everyone is here!" Artwork yet?

I regret not joining this support thread sooner but I did have Byleth down there in my sig for a while now, so it's really nice to finally get a character that I've been asking for as DLC (still would've preferred Dimitri but I'm happy with how everything was handled).

That being said, congrats to my fellow Byleth supporters!

Some of the spirits look enhanceable.

Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude seem to be it.

2 weeks isn't that bad, I can make that. But it would've been nice sooner :p

I really want to play around and see what they can do. I don't mind ranged characters, but hope they can handle fast close-ranged ones.

I really like the alts they chose. Really glad they went with the lords, Sothis and the green hair instead of generic red/blue/green

I just love the darker green haired one. The colors are perfect. No tights, but it'll be my main one. :p

Congrats.

I would have preferred that Byleth summon the 3 house leaders to use their weapons but this is a good compromise.

Honestly would've been so hyped if the weapons could be switched between for extra movesets, that would've made the character good for sure :D
But let's see how it goes.

Okay, Sothis' comment about too many swordsmen made me laugh.

Congratulations to you all! Be prepared to fend off angry people for the next few weeks or so though, it's really sad how it's apparently difficult for this fanbase to expect the "lowkey/unusual last character" pattern to hold up. But hey, at least I was right about not necessarily having third parties in the pass.

Apart from that, it's nice how my favorite TH girls get to cheer on in the background, even if Edel's chances are pretty much toast.

That probably would have taken up too much devtime before the deadline next month anyways. I'm fine with this tho.

Well, they did use a lot of dev time for Hero, and you could say Joker as well, so when I saw the 3 weapons I thought holy crap alt movesets?? Which would've been awesome but yeah I should've known that'd be asking for a lot :p

I was hoping for a Three Houses rep either way and I’m ecstatic someone like Byleth made it in.

I’m looking forward to playing as him when he/she comes out in two weeks.

Oh, I'm gonna gush about two things.

1. The monastery and the cameos! So nice to see and I love how it looks. I'm still so happy Hilda got in, as well as Seteth. They're some of my faves!

2. The part in Byleth's trailer where they do a Gambit Boost by having an army of tiny Ice Climbers run past is ****ing hilarious. This might be one of the funniest Smash trailers, up there with Geese falling off the building during Terry's trailer.

Feel like sharing this reaction here for obvious reasons.


My experience with Three Houses has mainly been through watching this Youtuber, and on a whim I decided to watch his stream when the 5th fighter was announced. Needless to say, it was quite fitting.

Hate to say it, but you guys did a noble thing saving corrin from the bottom. I think it is just initial shock. Character looks to have a unique kit. and the stage looks good.
Yeah, I don't see Byleth supplanting Corrin in the long run. I mean, people are just used to Corrin being the memed on character, Three Houses has a much more positive reception then Fates, and Byleth was actually released after the game came out in both regions. After the shock subsides, things will be fine.
