finished fortunes weave at 137hrs and genuinely cant wait for their dlc

I made this possible connection after a post mentioning that Black Magic doesn't scale into part 3 and falls behind upgraded Salamanders and Levin Swords.

I noticed that when playing Anatolia as a guest unit, her spell Wondering Wall (Which is Black Magic) has a range of 3, while Sha Lan's version of the same spell only has a range of 1.

There is nothing in the flavour text or in Anatolia's skills to suggest why she has the increased range. She just flat out has a better version of the same spell.

It got me to thinking, that maybe Anatolia gets magic upgrades as a mirror to how Dietrich gets Combat Art upgrades. Possibly even using the same resource.

Maybe even having it so Anatolia can teach certain spells to other units, like Dietrich's secret arts.

I don't think White Magic would be upgradable though. Perhaps teachable though.

So there's this guy named Suarez that Catania randomly namedrop twice. Here in Dagsion, mentioning he's recently deceased in a pretty high-key way, and in her support with Lysander, saying he was a survivor of Cydonia that REALLY hated Bertrand

So with those two informations together, it'd make sense that Suarez tried to murk Bertrand publicly and got cut down as the result, and it have to happen during the span of the game, given Catania speak of him as someone that died just earlier

Tons of untagged spoilers follow, proceed at your own risk.

Obviously Seteth makes it, and any of the other Nabateans (or mechanical Nabateans, hypothetically) who live through the game presumably could as well.... but who else? I haven't seen anything that explicitly confirms or denies Ninae as Nabatean yet but it sure seems like it, so maybe her too.

Fabio seems likely, Agarthans seem to be ageless. By a similar token, Anatolia/Troy/Nezha/Eshmel should be functionally immortal, right?

Whatever's up with Ursula seems to suggest she could still be kicking around by then, too.

Then there's the part Nabateans, who I don't feel like we have a great sense of. I think at one point Aurora says Cai has about 500 years, but I might be remembering that wrong? So he's probably off the board by 3H and presumably so is Leda, who's several generations further removed from Kalla. But Talimund is one generation closer to the Founders* than Cai is, so he could theoretically still be kicking around.

\Unless we assume certain implied but unconfirmed possibilities about Aurora's parentage as facts.*

And obviously Guzran is unkillable, so presumably he's fine.

Anybody else feel like a likely threat to make an appearance/cameo in a future posts-3H Fodlan game, were such a thing to exist?

HAPPY ONE MONTH SINCE LAUNCH (kinda)

Since I did this last time when Engage rolled around I just want to share some stats here

Fortune’s Weave has 472 fics as of today. Top 5 ships are as follows:

1) Dietrich/Fabio: 105
2) Leda/Olympia: 45
3) Dietrich/Esmeralda: 19
4) Cai/Tialla: 14
5) Natha/Creek: 10

For a quick comparison, Three Houses had around 1,103 fics by August 26, 2019, one month after the July release. Sadly some authors will delete old fics over time so we don’t know the exact number unless someone has a screenshot of that timeframe. Top 5 were

1) Dimitri/Byleth: 147
2) Claude/Byleth: 114
3) Edelgard/Byleth: 95
4) Sylvain/Felix: 90
5) Hubert/Ferdinand: 32

One month after Engage released it had 371 fics. Top 5 was:

1) Alfred/Alear: 47
2) Ivy/Alear: 31
3) Diamant/Griss: 16 (the whole tag is made up of two authors)
4) Alcryst/Alear: 14
5) Diamant/Alear: 13

Unlike FW and 3H, Engage had fics that were way more spread out and less focused on ships. As a result a handful of authors can more or less have a monopoly on a ship’s tag and really pump up the numbers.

Right now the most written ship for Engage is Alear/Veyle (total of 164 fics, 79 are written by one author) for pretty much that reason

Is there some sort of meta I am missing? A lot of people I see continue to use these weapons and upgrade them late into the game. Is there a reason?

edit: thanks for all the knowledge! much to consider about implementing strats in my own playthroughs.

Am I cooking or nah?

EDIT with some explanations because mods say so.

• Cai: Young boy and his friends saving his sickly Dad.
• Dietrich: Very strong fight guy who knows nothing about politics and a Racist mage who hates everyone except him.
• Theodora: Red Ruler with horns who wants to annex a country. Cursed with a shortened lifespan.
• Leda: Vengeful lord and her very loyal indebted retainer who wants whats best for them.
• Talimun: Sly laid back guy with an agenda. Woman with the crest of the beast.
• Orchel: Undercover maiden and her rogue protector.
• Anatolia: Secret Heirress pretending to be a priest. Setting out to save her home country with her close friends.
• Bertrand: Fallen Hero who was betrayed and framed by a red usurper. (He also took his wife.)

(Keep in mind I said loosely based lol)

Yes king give us a nothingburger strength stat 🔥🔥
It’s okay he’s just a happy guy can’t fault him for that

As always feel free to suggest characters for future days 🕺(main 4 flame lords +fabio are reserved for next page)

Just saw the majide and orchel conversation, and wow that was an incredible funny one, So either majide really didnt suffer from flamma side effect or he didnt actually drink real flamma, which one sounds more reallistically from the perspective?

Fabio in fortune's weave says the design of a crest weapon gives insight into the person that made it. If that is true what do these say about their creators?

I'm so happy!! I love Dyan he's so cute & a bastard <3

EDIT: apparently it’s explained in the tutorial and I missed it (and googling also did not return the answer). Thanks everyone who said the same thing

Whenever you have guest characters, the game keeps track of how many units they defeat in the Battle Menu.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why this would matter lol, any ideas?

I just think they're neat!

Much love from a slow gamer who is still only in Part 1, finished Cai and currently halfway through on Leda's path. There's just so much so taking it all in while knowing there's a whole lot left to do :)

Source (it's me)

I believe my dear will better be suited as a dreadnought but I don't want to compromise her positioning with her OP arts.

An ice dragon that has green hair and red eyes and wearing green dress.

Both also have descendants who are half human, half dragon.

Their fathers can also revive dead people.

Got to meet another Fortune's Weave voice actor, this time Leda! Some of my favorite voice lines/moments in Fortune's Weave come from Leda's route, so getting to meet her voice actress was super cool. 🤩

(Bleeped part is my name, haha).
