Actually I think that was misinfo. IIRC it's actually any time during that month, it's just that most people explore on the first day.
I actually really liked that choice, since it's a good conbination of story and gameplay. It truly shows you how much Edelgard has trust issues, to the point that you have to be truly connected to her in order to stay with her.
Really? In my experience, the day in which you explored and then saw the coronation does not matter. Hell, I think in both my original Black Eagles run and my current Church Route run, I waited until the last possible opportunity to witness the coronation, because I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to instruct.
No, no, I was referring to how the "true" Black Eagles route is locked behind that and so easily missable. Coupled with it being so much shorter than every other route, it just really doesn't come off as if Intelligent Systems really cared all that much for it.
If by not well-written you mean not describing in excruciating detail why every little thing in the game happens, then sure.
Yeah you gotta make the effort, but it's perfectly doable. Edelgard's coronation simply requires you get that C+ rank with her. It's really easy to build support between yourself and the students. Hell, I managed to unlock ability to view the A support of most of my students during Part 1 but couldn't since my bonds with them haven't "deepened" yet. Anyone who intended on S-ranking Edelgard should've gotten her route without any problems. You'd have to be incompetent to not know how to view supports, or ignore what your own students have to say outside of what the game tells you to do.
Replying to this again for reasoning.
I would like to add a little detail about the Sothis/Religion topic
That poll has little to no meaning. It only had 400 votes in total and under some Japanese votes there were English comments, so it's far from reliable.
Where did the poll even come from? Regardless it is still becoming a common trend for avatar characters to be prominent due to their wish fulfillment nature.
Reddit, I think.
It figures.
I don't think Edelgard disbelieves in Sothis's existence either, she just doesn't buy into her being omnipotent like everyone else claims. Her support with Manuela is pretty interesting in her trying to reconcile if faith can really be a source of strength or just a crutch.
It was just a glance through comments on a Twitter post by Nintendo. Assuming it was collected by a bot, it may have even counted posts saying someone doesn't want a character as a vote for that character. And, as was mentioned earlier, it was about 400 people. And who knows how many of those votes were the same person making multiple comments. So the sample size is probably even smaller. I wish people would stop spreading this "data" around, because it means literally nothing at all.
Did Nintendo ask people on Twitter who they wanted to see in Smash? As in an official poll or something?
It's not a poll. It's just your standard "begging for characters" comments on a standard Nintendo post.
Sadly, people believe things...very easily in this fandom.
I think you are missing the point... is not like Edelgard motives are bad, the game during various instances and with plenty of character made pretty clear how the crest system and nobility makes a lot of peoples life miserable, and the game gives us several instances to be slightly creeped out by rhea and while doesn't paints the church as an overused "the church is evil" trope, it doesn't paints them as immaculate saints either. But the CF path is sadly full of weird absences, tell dont show instances, and overall, very well limited voids of info that clearly looks like stuff that they wanted to expand but simply had to cut for reasons. (plus it outright have 3 chapters less than the other paths)
I think it's the "most likely syndrome".
The problem with this hypnosis is that Byleth is the Avatar character, just like Robin and Corrin are. Chrom wasn't. In fact, I would go so far to say, Chrom and Edelgard share a lot. Edelgard was the Three Houses pick prior to its release, just like Chrom was before Awakening came out. Both Chrom and Edelgard seemed very prominent.
The thing about "why going with Edelgard" can be answered with:
over Decidueye and Primarina or over Chesnaught and Delphox
. . .Seriously? By how many?
The thing about "why going with Edelgard" can be answered with:
1) She is apparently the most popular of the three lords, according to in game data.
She was also the most marketed character for the game, having a figma of her already in the works before the game was even out, was the bigger focus of the 3H banner in Heroes and even the main theme, Reach for My Hand, is sang from her point of view and its Japanese title is Lady of Hresvelg.
2) She is the most relevant of the three to the plot, being either the protagonist or the antagonist, unlike the other two who became secondary characters on other route beside their own.
3) That argument could be also used for
Many try to find a "pattern" in Sakurai's choices. People were speculating Chrom because "Look at Marth, Roy, Ike...He is going to only add the main lord", anand they're doing the same thing again. "Look at Robin, Corrin...he is going for the playable avatar".
But in reality Sakurai's methods aren't set in stone. He has stated before that characters must have a clear personality of their own for being chosen, and Byleth lacks it. Plus he/the Smash team might feel that another blue haired middle weight sword fighter avatar, even if as unique as Byleth is, might be too much and instead go for a tanky small axe user instead, especially for how prominent Edelgard is.
I'm not saying that Byleth has no chance, but that Edelgard has a way bigger chance than what people think.
If I remember correctly, he's four centimeters taller.
Stupid crests...
Looking at the perspective of potential antagonist inclusion for Fire Emblem, most of them have the following problems: being wrinkled old fogies, unplayable huge dragons, not getting enough screentime for a good following, or just being stuck in japan-only titles. Black Knight was the closest to avoiding these pitfalls, but fell just short in moveset potential and was relegated to assist.The thing about "why going with Edelgard" can be answered with:

It doesn't really matter how the community perceives Edelgard's or Byleth's chances, the point of bringing up Chrom is that it shows the main character won't be necessarily chosen.
Actually we have quite a lot of women that didn't growth; in fact they're more than the ones that growth; which are these:
Bernadetta is just plain much stronger than she looks, especially when pushed. She's just as likely to own people ostensibly bigger and tougher than her as she is to flee in terror. Being skilled at both would require her to be surprisingly fit. Not to mention surviving being trapped in a burlap sack for what was probably weeks.
