Incidentally, some of the supports seem a bit different in JP in terms of romantic implications.

further paired ending stuff. This feels like the final word on it. The ending list has a his/her split for Alear's solo ending, but none of the paired endings mention their gender, so I'm 99% positive they can get all of these regardless of their gender.

Oh, wait, there is a list of paired endings in the text dump. It's labelled after.

If possible, could you look at male alear and kagetsu's ending slide, or ask someone to look at it? Kagetsu's S support is one of the most romantic I've seen, so it's strange he isn't being mentioned in the mlm conversation.

It's impossible to say, they aren't flagged or anything. Some supports contain phrases like 'I love you,' some contain the characters talking about 'affection and admiration,' and some contain words like 'friendship' or 'partnership.' It seems completely arbitrary, frankly, outside of the edge cases like the very young or very old characters.

I'm looking at the support text dump right now and I can't find any indication of this. Alear's supports are just listed as Alear's. It's possible the same-sex lockout is on the game side rather than the support list side, but I don't know if there's a source for this. The thread on reddit's locked, so I can't ask, either.

The support dump contains the dumps for the bond dialog with the rings, too. It seems like it's actually unique per character, but it's only 3-4 lines for each rank of the support.

Then, about paired endings:

Can you confirm this is a list of paired endings? This is pretty expansive and seems to cover most supports that exist. I just wanna make sure that some of these aren't unused or dummies or anything before i get too excited. EDIT: Yeah, this seems to be a list of supports, not paired endings.

There are no S supports or anything, even for Alear. With that in mind, it is unlikely any of the minor romance events from Three Houses are in, either. It is likely that romance only exists as paired endings, similar to the pre-awakening games. How many there are or who has paired romantic endings with who won't be known until people who have the game early start beating the game, and/or start datamining it. Also worth noting that all supports seem to go up to A, unlike three houses.

Isn't that pretty normal for most FE games? This game has 36ish characters, you have most of them by chapter 16. FE9 had 42 characters (not counting the laguz royals), and you only had about 2/3rds of them by chapter 16. Awakening gave you all the characters pretty early on to account for the kid system, but most FE games are more spread out. Even in Fates, which also had kids, you don't get Ryoma/Xander until chapter 16 of their respective routes. Odds are you have Rosado/Goldmary for at least half the game.

Oh, actually, another thought about Weapon Proficiency.

Yeah, easy thing to miss. Other than that it's a really awesome tool, so thanks a bunch. Having a lot of fun with it.

Ross replaced Seth but came as a Journeyman. I assumed he got made into a tier 3 one, since he was replacing Seth, but he gained standard Journeyman EXP, had the tier 1 caps, and capped at level 10. However, the auto-promote event hasn't happened. Do trainees not work with random recruitment?

I think part of it is the telephone effect. We're all presumably english speakers here, so we only have english language resources... about a game that, at the moment, is only in Japanese. One person who has played it in Japanese says 'Nohr route's storyline was pretty disappointing, it was still kind of standard FE,' the next person passes that info along as "Nohr's storyline isn't that good," the next person passes that along as "Nohr's storyline sucks," etc etc, until you've got an echo chamber of incredibly negative opinions, just because one of the few people in the english speaking fandom who's played it expressed some mild criticism.

The only change is the genderswap, though. Unlike acid, which impairs your judgment and sense of reality and often leaves people crumpled into balls on the ground freaking out, she just saw kamui (and other guys) as girls. It isn't really comparable. I can agree that it's weird that he slipped it to her but it wasn't this huge monstrous thing people are acting like it was.

It... isn't really super creepy though? It'd be one thing if Kamui did something untoward or it was something super affecting for Soleil, but she saw some rule 63 fanart come to life and then moved on with her life. Iunno, if magical genderswap vision potion was a real thing, and someone slipped me some, I wouldn't be freaking out. It isn't like it incapacitated her or hurt her, at all, in any way. EDIT: I'm actually not sure which 'rule' is the genderswap one, and I know it's one off from the porn one, so forgive me if I made an unintentionally hilarious comment.

It radically alters her perception of the world... for one support. And kamui does nothing to her during that time. And then it wears off. And she still likes Kamui, yes. Even when the drug is gone. You can say it's bad writing because yeah, it is a pretty dumb support, I said as much, but my point is that it isn't anywhere near as offensive as people are making it out to be. Also I said nothing about 'eww social justice,' so please do not put words into my mouth.

I'm a lesbian and I... don't really care. It's a pretty silly support but Soleil laughs it off immediately and it seems like it wears off after the B support, and Soleil has tons of lines in the A and S support about how she likes male Kamui. If people have a problem with it, I can understand it, but comparing it to date rape or whatever is blowing it waaaaaaayyyyyy out of proportion. She isn't psychologically scarred or altered by it, it's just a gag. Also, in regards to Shara referring to her feelings for F!Kamui as disgusting: F!Kamui immediately shuts her down and says, explicitly, that she loves her quite a lot and that she's happy she's a woman, and etc etc. So, uh, if the writers are homophobes, they're really bad at being homophobes, since Kamui is the player's mouthpiece and all.
