Board 8 > Three Houses playthrough topic.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Caspar and Ashe are now owned by a cat.
---

They made a lot of dialogue really awkward by having to work around Byleth not having a name or set gender.
---

Definitely no longer capable of charging in recklessly.

"We will arrange to head out at once"...once this month is over.
---

I would have really liked it if they hadn't let themselves be such a slave to the month system every now and then
---

Hell we even open up a Dimitri paralogue on a totally different mission. So weird.

Tough paralogue, lots of hard hitting enemies. Battles are starting to grow rather lengthy. Though I think I could have zerg'd Hubert pretty hard if I wanted to.
---

Yeah, I'm a good way into the Blue Lion route and this has to have been one of the silliest months ever.

Oh, Claude just sent us an urgent request for aid! Let's wait a month and then march for Deirdru

The fact that a month gets skipped for urgency only once blows me away. The entire second half of the game should have scrapped that system.

I did enjoy it, for the record, but it needed toning down big time.

The second half is just weird. We've completely abandoned the lost item mechanic but theres still glowy blue crap on the ground...its just that all it is ends up being cheap seeds and fishing supplies(But there isn't a need to fish as support level maxed out forever ago).

Theres basically no token quests except a supply chain that gives you absolutely 0 direction on how to complete(I looked up a guide and even with that it requires a massive amount of garden RNG). Everyones supports are maxed with Byleth and there isn't really any class progression left to be had. So playing out the month is really just going through the motions.

There isn't much of a way during explore to focus on supports between other people(You can feed them together and then choir practice -once-).

And with all the A and S ranks out there now Instruct phase feels so dull(Lots of boosting of everyones Authority).

The second half would feel a hell of a lot better just switching to a straight line of story battles with some Paralogue offshoots to do instead of being slaves to the month system.

So team yellow showed up just for Claude to go "nope I'm out have my army".
---

The Death Knight finally did just kind of die.
---

they really did just abandon having quests in the hub at some point.
---

Team yellow officially ends blue storyline having done nothing but peace out.
---

Team yellow/Female Byleth time.
---

I may have spent an hour contemplating how to spend my renown before throwing my hands in the air and going to bed.

I just went with boosting Professor Level as much as possible after getting one level through normal exploration
---

Claude is promising schemes.

He had no schemes when I played team blue other than peacing out so he better deliver at some point.

Also one battle in and there definitely feels like a distinct possibility Lysithea carries the game again.

No flowers for Edelgard. I will keep my 200g.

Also Ashe rekilled Lonato via being Claude's adjutant on the killing blow.

Edelgard lecturing Claude about keeping secrets...
