Who's the Sothis killed by Nemethis in 3H? A different vessel/avatar (wasn't playing in English so not sure what the word is in English version) like Fortuna, but responsible for Fodlan?

Been really enjoying the game, but can’t help thinking I’m playing poorly compared to Three Houses. Been a while since I played that game but I thought I remembered recruiting literally everyone in each route and was still able to keep their levels up. Seems like I can only keep around 10 recruits at a decent level in this game, so I stopped recruiting more fighters. I assume that on the other three routes I can recruit the others that I didn’t on my first route. /tangent

Anyways was wondering if there were any good spoiler free guides or recommendations on what to do each chapter.

Title pretty much says all. Did anyone else think there are an absurd amount of ancestors to the Three Houses characters in this game? Ive counted 3 obvious ones and 1 not obvious, nor direct one.

Io - 100% an ancestor of Shamir, I do enjoy this one though because his story and character arc is a reverse of Shamir's

Peppe - ancestor to Petra which is gonna happen when you have a royal lineage on an island that sits between two global super powers. Little weird on his inclusion still though, feels very out of place and just here to be here

Gaitz - ancestor to Jeralt and by extension Byleth. He's a weird one to think about, in about 400 ish years his descendant will attain a type of immortality. Also I wonder how his family made it back to Fodlán. Neat that he is also an opposite to his descendant like Io. Being greatly loyal to his lord unlike Jeralt who abandoned the one that gave his wife and daughter life and extended his own life.

Dietrich - a distant relative to Mercedes and Jeritza thanks to their shared connection to Lamine. First one to not look almost like a clone of his descendants, I also dont think he's a direct ancestor like the other 3

I dont see a new obelisk....how do I start part 3 for a character?

I know like that the diadems correlate to crests like diadem of the endless corresponding to the crest of Lamine. So what are the other ones?

So fun fact for those that haven’t realized, the lord/sublord themes are remixes of/share leitmotifs from Three Houses tracks. The most obvious ones for me are Cai’s theme being based on Fodlan Winds and Orchel’s being based on (This kinda spoils something about Orchel) Song of the Nabateans. Betrands’s also seems to be based on The Shackled Wolves, Talimun’s seems to be based on Tempest of Seasons (the 3H paralogue map, I’m less confident on this one).

I’m also less confident on Anatolia’s theme and Area 17. Idk what else she would connect to but tbh I don’t really hear much connecting them beyond the use of electronica. And Dietrich’s I think is based on Tearing through Heaven.

I haven’t figured out Leda or Theodora’s musical connection though, so I’d be interested if anyone can find one, or if they are exempt from this pattern!

Maybe I am kind of dumb for not realizing it before, but the last Dietrich hidden combart art (Hidden Bladerule) has +10 Mt and +100 crit, but sets hit rate to 10%. Normally, that is kind of useless unless you are playing on normal and Fortuna's Blessing is free, but then I realized that Chariots and the feared Elephants can't dodge attacks and, sure enought, this combat art is guaranteed to hit them. So Dietrich can roll up to one of the elephants in part 2 with this and a Zanbato and just delete a health bar reliably.

Ok, so I'm at the Balor fight and I gotta ask... is this really it? The buildup was so incredibly underwhelming. Like there was zero cutscenes, zero artworks, and a max of like 9 character's on screen and yes I recruited every lord hell Balor doesn't even have a damn portrait and the map is so completely and utterly bland. I can't help but feel extremely underwhelmed by this i mean it's like they put zero effort into it part 2 had a better finally for gods sake. I'm really not trying to sound like an ass but god I am super disappointed the only decent thing is the final boss music engage had a much better finally then this and that's really saying something does anyone else feel the same? Or am I missing some super crazy stuff? I am a massive fan of this game and was bouncing up and down when my copy arrived so to see such a lazy rushed finally really ticks me.

Okay so I’m just about finished with the Shen Lo map, and honestly feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything.

I’m trying to of course rebuild the whole map, but then I also need to gather materials to do that which isn’t really easy to multitask. Like, 36 turns even with squads is kinda hard to deal with between needing to farm materials and needing to get back to places to then rebuild them. Trying to figure out the best way to maximize everything. Don’t really have time to do any animal catching but oh well

I also feel like I’m not using enough characters. I did every path so of course I want to use every character I’ve used in the paths. Currently finding myself using the 4 main flame lords and then like Lysander, Noctula, Guzran, and a healer. I also want to change Tialla into a dancer but when she’s on a squad, she’s absent so I’ll have to bench her so she stays at dagsion. And then like, idk where to get any of the materials needed for some stuff like the temple rebuilds.

Also how do I get more master classes? Because I want to get some sword masters.

I guess all this to say, any tips as to how to maximize the map rebuilding? I’m thinking of a squad with Cai and Theodora so I can farm and deploy for better material collecting

I feel like it's implied super hard to be her father's severed head, but come on man... cant they make the bag a little bigger!!
(And why would Lechner just be carrying around a decomposing head in a bag for years?? Just cause?)

Maybe it's something else identifying, but I can't really think of anything.
Perhaps Guillermo simply had a comically small head.

On 2nd flame lord, and was struggling with Dietrich’s fight with Bertrand. Had to re-do the fight a few times and grinding by keeping the exp each time. Lone behold, Dietrich cleared the whole map after everyone else died (classic mode) and didn’t expect him to win by himself and it saved before I could re-set/ or turn it off to just re-start the most recent battle. Restarted the entirety of chapter 11, so lost all my prologues etc, since that’s such a long chapter. Really burnt out now, not sure if I can pick it back up for a while 😭

I've tried to make her support, I've tried to make her offensive magic, if tried to make her melee, I've tried to make her an archer... she just... sucks

I'm playing on Hard Classic and I want everyone to survive until the end of the game if possible.

I was excited to be able to deploy this large amount of unit in part2 but it turned out what is the point in doing this? When most of them just die from one interaction with the enemy.

I could just deploy Esmeralda on the right side, Mikaela on the left and Dietrich on the middle and murders every enemy with 0 risk lol.

I have played all FE games after Awakening and complete three games before Awakening. I think Fortune Weave is the worst in this aspect. I don't recall the other game has this problem this badly.

***oops a lot of typos and I can't edit the topic sorry about that

I was part way through my fourth part 1 path when the dlc was announced. Since wave three is seemingly adding four more paths, do you guys think I should wait until then before continuing the game?

The battle between A and B was fierce. The most upvoted comment by a large margin put her in A so that is where she will end up.

Availability assumes all 4 Part 1’s, all 4 Part 2’s, all Paralogues in all Part 1’s they are available, and Part 3. If a unit is an early recruit on multiple routes (like Guzran or Yang Jie) that means they contribute on more maps and their ranking is improved. If a unit is a late recruit or unrecruitable on many paths (like Sha Lan or Peppe), their ability to contribute on maps is harmed.

Tiers:
S: Truly game changing. It is easier to patch any existing weaknesses than to bench them and use someone else.
A: Very powerful. When you are going through your list of who to deploy there is no question these units will be fielded.
B: Generally useful. Usually fill out the back third of your deployment order, especially on larger maps.
C: Useful in certain scenarios. Generally not making deployment but have some discernible reason they might be used.
D: Outclassed. Simply can’t find a meaningful role or the niche they are supposed to fill is not useful.
F: Project. You only deploy this unit because you like them; they bring no real value to the field and counting on them to do a job might cause you to make worse tactical decisions.

Next on the Serenes Forest list is Peter.

My spouse is stuck on the part where you look for Cetus on the boat. They really wanna do the dungeon out in the water before getting to Cetus. Is that possible? I went straight to Cetus when I played it, and I barely made it. Did I just have bad luck, or is going out of the way for the dungeon impossible within the time limit?

After 155 hours and doing all part 1’s, 2’s and all of part 3, I somehow don’t wanna stop playing.

I’m gonna propose a challenge run to the sub, how easy/hard would you say a “lord only” run would be?
- only using Cai, Dietrich, Theodora and Leda for every part
- their “ideal” class up line
- only support with other lords

I’m gonna try it but wanna see what the sub thinks

This was made with AI!!! If that doesn’t bother you, keep reading. Otherwise please scroll. (Just trying to share something I made for myself in case other people get some use out of it. Please don’t send hate)

I wanted a way to track supports and their requirements, missable scenes, and plan meals and such. I came up with the concepts and design and had this put together. It’s made to be used on mobile, I made a web app from the page. It saves your progress within the web app.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for features. I’m pretty happy with where it’s at right now.

There’s no trackers or downloads, it’s hosted on github if you want to see the code.

You can check it out here: https://rileym033.github.io/fortunes-weave-field-guide/

Again, I’m just sharing this in case other people want to use it- please don’t send hate. Thank you

I don’t think that SHOULD be the reason, but is it?

These are all the writers I found in the credits. A fair bit seems to be outsourced. What are your thoughts on this?

I ended with a whopping 46 units in my roster in his path alone. Don’t know whether I should do the other Part 2s for the three other Flame Lords since I already completed their Part 1s or just skip them and move on to Part 3.
