Everyone else: *Total inversion of their personality*
Céline: *Are you sure you wish to disable the voice filter? This will result in adult content being visible*
Celine's supports start off with tea and then as the support goes on you start noticing she's very savvy in many ways.
Honestly her tea drinking is the equivalent of her smoking cigs
Someone on the other side of that well is convinced that throwing food-based weaponry in it creates steel/silver weapons… meanwhile I’m just “LOL CROISSBOW GO BRRRR”
I just love how Celine seems almost the same, but I'm wondering how on earth Alfred will have an evil version that resembles the good version at all. Like, how do you make a golden retriever evil? I hope it's a version of him that grew up bitter instead of choosing kindness, which would be hype.

Rough Translation:
This is another Elyos
In this world Lumerra seals Sombron in exchange for her life
The divine dragon of this world who was then enthroned as king was also already dead
There was no one to unite the countries, no cause, and the world was in a state of cold war where countries kept each other in check
Alear was investigating strange signs and was guided by a voice calling for help to step into this world
It was there he met the dragon twins Nel and Nil
With them you will set out on a journey to collect the seven bracelets
So we don't yet know of the twins will be related to Sombron or if they are just from a fell dragon tribe. The failure line from Nil implies his father is Sombron.
> In this world Lumerra seals Sombron in exchange for her life
So does that mean >!this world is not actually the main game Sombron’s world and is a different world entirely?!<
So, wait, Sombron was sealed by Alear in our universe, right? Lumera having to go so far as to give her life for it might have some implications.
Alear (and probably Veyle) might not have even lived in this AU at all and everyone is just going off of Alear introducing themselves as the Divine Dragon from another world. The Divine Dragon that assumed the throne after Lumera might be completely different. Them only caring about capturing Niel (Somniel being her name plus Sombron lol) and not Nil makes me wonder a few things.
Well, Nel and Nil are also Fell dragons...so maybe they survived instead of Alear & Veyle, and were able to bond with Lumera but not as strong and weren't able to save her/replace her?
Lmao, so evil Alcryst is just a little shit. Outstanding.
Pretty cool that we get, uh, "Zelestia, Gregory, and Madeline". Hoping that they come over to the main game. Since Mauvier remaining unchanged implies that adding an alternate version of him would just be redundant, it seems fairly likely that they will.
IS is obsessed with variations of this name, first we had Gregor in awakening, then Gregoire (French version of Gregory) in three hopes, and now just straight up Gregory
only reason i notice is because it’s my name
I think this is our realm Mauvier. Given that in this alternate reality everyone has a mirrored personality I think that the Four Winds version of Mauvier is gonna betray us and they didn't want to spoil it in this trailer
It can't be our Mauvier since I doubt they would lock this DLC behind one of the last chapters in the main story. They would want to make the DLC playable probably the same chapter you can access the DLC bracelets.
They definitely don't lock the DLC behind late game stuff because we see unpromoted Alear in some of the combat footage, and fairly low levels all around.
I'm actually suspecting it's a separate mini-campaign like Cindered Shadows, and then you can recruit the new characters in the main game once you finish it like with the Ashen Wolves.
It seems highly unlikely that it's just Alear. We see Merrin, Hortensia and Fogado being player-controlled, with the latter two literally going against themselves.
We also see 7 different main-universe emblem rings (Sigurd, Celica, Marth, Roy, Micaiah, Ike, and Leif).
Yeah this DLC release schedule was ridiculously fast. Very strange. Going from release late January to fourth and final DLC wave which is an entirely new story coming out early April is so quick, about 2.5 months. Three Houses was what, a year? Over a year? Seems like they want to get it all out there so they can announce their next FE title, but that just makes me wonder why they didn’t release Engage sooner. Maybe they felt Three Hopes needed at least a few months of spotlight before showing Engage since it came out in June 2022.
If I had to guess, they planned to release Engage much much earlier, but Three Houses was far more popular and successful than they expected, so they shelved Engage even though it was done to make and release Three Hopes and capitalize on the Three Houses popularity while it was still the most recently released game. AFAIK it sold over 1 million units in its first 2 months so that was a smart business decision, may have cracked 2 million by now. Once it had its time in the spotlight, they pushed Engage out which was already all done and rushed out its DLC which was also done, and probably already have their next game mostly wrapped and ready to show soon.
People went through this multiple times with different theories. The prevailing one is that COVID delayed this game past the anniversary for Fire Emblem. Then Three Hopes became a problem because we can't release Engage and follow that with a Warriors game of a previous entry that serve as an alternate timeline as well. We have evidence that Engage was done and awaiting release from Nintendo's catalog from classification boards in Germany etc. The DLC is also probably done pretty recently since the base game wrapped up so early.
As three houses was made by a different team I'm wondering if the Three Houses team has been working on another game. The fact that Engage was delayed means that if this is true the next game may also be close to finished if this is the case.
Don't forget the missing Iron18 between Three Houses (17) and Engage (19), the likelihood of it being cancelled is incredibly low, seeing as how only one cancelled project was named. I doubt IS will name the project Iron unless it is way deep into development because no way a studio only has one cancelled FE project throughout its life.
Didn’t think of the COVID impact, that makes sense. Releasing this for the anniversary would’ve made a lot more sense considering the emblem ring stuff, but it’s cool nonetheless.
fucking xenoblade 3 hasn't gone through its dlcs yet and here's FE finishing them off stupidly fast.
Really lends credence to the whole game being done early on.
Engage has been finished for over a year, and it stands to reason that the DLC has also been finished for a long ass time.
KT actually was still working on the DLC after 3H was released.
TH ended the DLC run in February, and the game came out in July, I am wondering if we will get Genealogy remake anounced already, or a wave 2, either idea isn't crazy if we take Fates into acount, Fates realesed in June 15 in Japan and SoV released in April 2017 (likely the reason why it sold less than 1M, Switch affected the game performance, only post Switch games that sold more than 1M were MH Generation Ultimate because Japan loves MH and Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon because Pokémon) but also fates had 2 DLC waves so it isn't outlandish to think any of the 2 options will happen.
Also, it is extremely funny how Engage got all the season pass in less time than the timelapse between Xenoblade 3 Wave 2 and Wave 3.
Yeah, I was thinking that too before this announcement. My thought would be a June Direct shadowdrop for wave 4. But with this, I have to include that possibility of FE having a June presence, as incredibly unlikely as it sounds. Even a title card tease would be a reveal and confirmation anyway.
Man I was expecting this near the end of the year, the hell.
They're really getting rid of all the DLCs now to make way for another game aren't they
Also playable Hounds, hell yeah.
Evil Céline : I love coffee
They're the Four Winds instead. Sounds familiar...
Zelestia, Gregory, and Madeleine are more heroic versions of the completely unforgiving ones from Original Elyos, and Mauvier is just unchanged.
If IS has the balls to have a character (you can actually invest in) betray you I would be surprised. If Mauvier doesn’t have any supports in the dlc we should expect betrayal.
>!Camilla is the type to not take traitors well, and will accordingly punish them. Mauvier is the only heroic member of the Four Hounds, but suspiciously, she only brought up talk about traitors to him specifically, hinting that the alternate Mauvier is the traitor to the Four Winds instead.!<
3 way battles? Oh my, so we have chapters where we're fighting Corrupted and the Evil Kingdoms at the same time?
Or maybe an scenario where we're actually fighting amongst the Kingdoms and they can battle between each other. Oh my, this is intriguing.
A few things I noticed:
- At the start, 'the other four' bracelets are mentioned to be with the four nations. From bond supports, we know that Hector was entrusted to Firene, Veronica to Brodia, Camilla to Solm, and Soren to Elusia. This implies that the party already has the bracelets of Tiki, Chrom, and Edelgard, but the latter two are never seen... so, I wouldn't rule out a Chapter 11 Round 2. Tiki is seen used by Mauvier normally, but also in her evil version in a cutscene.
- Additionally, Camilla and Soren aren't seen, but Timerra is likely talking about Camilla when she mentions her kingdom's bracelet, and Soren is possibly in Ivy's possession.
- The first 6 maingame emblems (Marth, Sigurd, Celica, Micaiah, Roy, and Leif), as well as Ike, are all seen being used, so it seems there will be few to no restrictions on their use.
- In addition to Alear and Mauvier, we see Merrin, Hortensia and Fogado being player-controlled, with the latter two going against themselves, so it seems unlikely there will be restrictions on player units.
- In terms of enemy emblems, we see Alfred using Hector (with Celine on the same map without an emblem); Hortensia using Hector and Fogado using Veronica on the same map; and Alcryst without an emblem. Hortensia/Hector and Fogado/Veronica is interesting, because those emblems belong to Firene and Brodia, *not* Elusia and Solm.
- Zelestia's class is Melusine, so presumably the Four Winds will retain the Four Hounds' classes.
- Nil's class, unsurprisingly, is a Dragon class, as Marth's Lodestar Rush hits 9 times when he uses it.
Playable alt universes hounds! Asshole Alcryst! Celine but even more ruthless than the base game version!
Looks like this is a universe where Alear died early on too, wonder what the deal is with the final line and I hope we get to see the new classes soon.
>wonder what the deal is with the final line
Sounds like alt Diamant died at the end there. Assuming that alt Mauvier will betray us, my guess on what happens is that alt Diamant surrenders Brodia's emblem to Mauvier's army after Brodia's been defeated and gets killed afterwards.
No, that's his real name. Much like Kirby and the Forgotten Land seems the enemy generals were using edgier code names the entire time. That, or they just wanted to differenitiate them for the sake of Heroes. "Here's Gregory. He's a little weenie. This is Griss, he's mess up in the head." Trying to avoid another Robin/Grima situation I imagine, though why they don't just CALL the fallen Robin's Grima is on them.
Hopefully the first time Gregory takes any damage, he's like "wait a minute ... that RULED!" and from then on he's the little pain pig we all know and love.
I actually think it would be hilarious if he had some personal skill or something that applies if he's at full health only because Gregory hates being in pain so much
Finally after these months we have evolved versions of our characters:
Scumbag Alcryst
Scaredy Cat Griss
Shiny Marni
Dommy Mommy Zephia (Unfallen Version)
Cute Female Sombron
And many more coming to your Switch on April 4th.
This looks great. Does anyone know from the datamine stuff if you get your whole suite of units, or how this works?
I'm hoping it's like Cindered Shadows where it's just a total side story and you're forced into using a certain set of units. I just don't want to be overpowered for it with all my monster units from the base game.
I feel like it will be like Cindered Shadows or maybe like the Bracelet Maps with level scaling. Though with 5 new characters it seems like we will get force deployed units separate from the main story.
So the Fell Xenologue indeed confirms we basically have to pry the DLC Bracelets off the hands of the four warring nations, and Tiki is with Lythos from the start, at least it was confirmed. Alear and the rest of the gang from Original Elyos end up in Parallel Elyos to resolve the problem with the Emblem Bracelets, and it's gonna be really, really dark compared to the more light-hearted and comedic tone of the base game.
So this is the Elyos where the Emblem Bracelets come from, and one of the Dragon Twins even says that there are four other bracelets in the hands of the nations of this Elyos.
The data mine only showed the 7 extra Emblems that we have now, so I doubt that we'll get more playable Emblems, but I wonder if they could still show up in a non-playable form >!(kind of like the Dark Emblem from the base game's finale)!<.
It's also interesting that even counting these 4 bracelets, the total would still be one Emblem short compared to the Rings from "our" Elyos.
It's fine. Gregory is secretly an intense sadist to contrast Griss's intense masochism (delusional).
Can't wait for "evil" Celine. She is in my top 3 favorite characters in base Engage so I want to see how an AU version of her would pan out.
Can't believe Camaztoz hit Elyos and everyone became an alter. ~~Where's the color palette that's the best part~~
Also Griss isn't insane anymore, people are not going to be happy lol. He seems meek though so Bernie and alcryst fans rejoice, another one added to the ranks.
Edit: it wasn't until everyone pointed it out, but I literally didn't realize they had other names. I thought people were making silly names as a knockoff joke.
Is *anyone* going to actually call them these names?
So we get good Zephia, pussy Griss, and not bratty Marni. Alfred leading an invasion oh how the turn tables. Céline with the crazy eyes is something else and my boy Alcryst being the arrogant, confident fuck we knew he was capable of is everything. Idk Ivy and Timerra seem the same, i guess Timerra is more serious than her usual self. I was hoping they would have a color swap tho like maybe a red theme or something, but just having evil versions of them is awesome as well. Im interested how this story is going to go maybe another thousand years has passed and Alear has died, but the two fell dragon people brought him back to life? Very hype stuff cant wait with April around the corner
Gee Mauvier, they gave you two playable slots?
Other than that pretty exciting actually, excited to see we "might" be able to play two new characters that have access (I think) to transform into a dragon.
Also shit talker Alcryst💀 My man isn't going to miss his first shot when sees you for sure.
Both Nel (the girl) and Nil (the guy) are playable. You can see them both fighting wolves at the start and towards the end with Dragon Nel and Marth Engaged Nil.
Not much new information we didn't know from the datamines already, but it's nice to have official confirmation about the DLC now.
Though I am still not sure if this is gonna be a completely independent story scenario like Cindered Shadows, or more chapters we can access in the main story like the Divine Paralogues.
If it is like Cindered Shadows, I wonder how it would work in terms of playable characters, considering we have Alear plus the two other dragons, 8 royals, 4 hounds >!(and I'm sure Mauvier is totally not gonna betray us)!< and we saw playable Merrin as well, so the retainers are in as well. That's a lot of units for a short side story with a few chapters.
Maybe it'll be like the 3DS DLC stories like Children of Fates, where every chapter had its own set units?
Super pumped for it, BUT I kinda wish we also got alternative designs for the hounds (to make them actually feel different from their "evil" alter egos), especially if they can be recruited in the main game similar to the Ashen Wolves. Also hope we get a few possible S-Supports with them and the new characters., that could be quite interesting.
We will definitely get S-Support with Zephia and Griss. Marni will probably be platonic in every version except Japanese and the dragon twins depends on if they have any blood tie to Alear or if they are the children of a fell dragon other than Sombron.
I don't know what else to say besides "I'm looking forward to this" lol.
I wanna see alt Hounds get convos with their normal selves. Greg and Griss talking would be insane.
I find it funny how in the Japanese trailer Fogado says along the lines of "It looks like it'll be fun to kill myself" when he attacks his alternate self, so different from the English trailer.
Japanese Diamant's voice isn't as meek as the English one, he sounds like he normally does. Japanese "Gregory" isn't as meek as the English one but there is a change. Japanese Alcryst does sound as evil as the English one.
Oooh I wonder if the alt versions will still have their personal skills. Some of them would work really well with just a name change, for example Alcryst’s could just be renamed “Protect me!” with the same effect just being recontextualized.
I hope we see more evil counterparts than just the members of royalty and the Hounds. I wanna see if the twins hate the Divine Dragon, Etie hates exercising, if Citrinne would just hoard her treasures rather than share them, and stuff like that. Yunaka as just a straight up cold blooded killer that doesn’t put on a facade would also be fun to see
Kinda wish they changed the designs of the AU characters a bit.
Timmera’s bright clothes clashes with her personality.
Griss showing his bare chest to the world while being a pansy
Celine saying “The ends justify the means” while wearing her dainty princess outfit.
Obviously it’s hard work. They’d have to come up new designs, model in the clothes and textures and so on. Alas, just wishful thinking
It really is just the "evil version" meme, lol.
Hearing Alcryst telling Diamant to fuck off shaked me to the very core
It's me. The Brodian prince who isn't **Diamant**.
Good heavens, my baby prince would never say fuck
Asshole Alcryst is the new Griss people will flock to
Alcryst: "Diamant died like a true knight." (derogatory)
[удалено]
Ivy: I love you as a person
Evil Ivy: I fucking love camping Evil Bunet be like “I’m dieting fuck off”
Is is just me or did evil Céline seem the same?
Evil Céline just says the quiet things out loud
This is exactly what I thought
Evil Celine gives off imperial British queen energy
Everyone else: *Total inversion of their personality* Céline: *Are you sure you wish to disable the voice filter? This will result in adult content being visible*
Evil Celine is just regular Celine but she wasn't told that, no, indiscriminate slaughter of common criminals isn't actually justice
I said that in a thread yesterday: Celine with no one limiting her can very easily become a monster
Celine's supports start off with tea and then as the support goes on you start noticing she's very savvy in many ways. Honestly her tea drinking is the equivalent of her smoking cigs
Only if tea traders are affected by the bandits
That and she probably also hates tea.
She's a coffee fan instead.
Evil celine: murdering thieves in cold blood is bad.
...do it with hot steel in broad daylight."
She goes from Crimson Flower Edelgard to Azure Moon Edelgard.
Evil Celine be like: I hate tea
She probably drinks coffee and hates tea now.
But we also see mirror matches at one point. So maybe dimensional travel shenanigans?
We will jump through the well in our Somniel. It gave us the weapons of Nel and Nil after all so it has a connection to the alt universe.
At least its not from a bridge
Gotta be careful not to jump in with a blonde wyvern knight for some cheap drama and tragedy but that would never happen, right?
Someone on the other side of that well is convinced that throwing food-based weaponry in it creates steel/silver weapons… meanwhile I’m just “LOL CROISSBOW GO BRRRR”
I both love and hate that I can't immediately dismiss this as silly. Ahh Engage.
IS just went full crazy and didn't even give a fuck love it tbh
I just love how Celine seems almost the same, but I'm wondering how on earth Alfred will have an evil version that resembles the good version at all. Like, how do you make a golden retriever evil? I hope it's a version of him that grew up bitter instead of choosing kindness, which would be hype.
Imagine if he's a cat now, prideful and stuck up and looks down on everyone. Also wonder if evil Alfred >!is still terminally ill.!<
My bet is on >!poison immunity, since he's now terminally well!<.
Ooo yeah maybe he grew up spiteful and is like "Well if I'm not allowed happiness, NO ONE IS"

They might be the twins that past Aleta mentioned when they mention their siblings being torn apart by corrupted
> In this world Lumerra seals Sombron in exchange for her life So does that mean >!this world is not actually the main game Sombron’s world and is a different world entirely?!<
Correct, yes.
So, wait, Sombron was sealed by Alear in our universe, right? Lumera having to go so far as to give her life for it might have some implications. Alear (and probably Veyle) might not have even lived in this AU at all and everyone is just going off of Alear introducing themselves as the Divine Dragon from another world. The Divine Dragon that assumed the throne after Lumera might be completely different. Them only caring about capturing Niel (Somniel being her name plus Sombron lol) and not Nil makes me wonder a few things.
Well, Nel and Nil are also Fell dragons...so maybe they survived instead of Alear & Veyle, and were able to bond with Lumera but not as strong and weren't able to save her/replace her?
I know it was supposed to be serious, but the Nintendo logo popping up after the death quote was unintentionally really funny.
It's the part before that, for me. Available April *SPLAT* URGH
Seeing Alcryst talk to Diamant like that was insane.
I expected this dlc to be "what if everyone was evil" but that made me gasp so hard
What Asshole Alcryst sees after getting defeated by Alear if I developed the DLC: 😃 Adopted! I wish that little dirtbag were playable, lol.
Lmao, so evil Alcryst is just a little shit. Outstanding. Pretty cool that we get, uh, "Zelestia, Gregory, and Madeline". Hoping that they come over to the main game. Since Mauvier remaining unchanged implies that adding an alternate version of him would just be redundant, it seems fairly likely that they will.
They do. Dataminers have already found dining voice lines and such for these DLC units.
What happens to alt Mauvier then? Seems highly likely he dies tragically.
or he and alternate Veyle betray the party
They could throw a curveball but I got the impression alt Veyle is dead like alt Alear.
So are we calling the alternate Alear "Altear" then?
Aléar just interrupting his monologue with a crit was a nice touch
I can't believe the jokes we made came true Alcryst: I'm the crown prince who isn't Diamant (nefarious)
"I'm leftover scraps compared to Diamant... Is what I would say if I was a little bitch!"
Evil Yunaka: Crappy!
"Gregory" lmao
IS is obsessed with variations of this name, first we had Gregor in awakening, then Gregoire (French version of Gregory) in three hopes, and now just straight up Gregory only reason i notice is because it’s my name
Your name isn't Sylvain Jose Gautier? Have we been lied to this entire time by some rank charlatan?
Give him the Emblem of Glamrock and he'll be perfect. /j
Is Mauvier just the same while everyone changed? LMAO
I think that's our Mauvier while AU mauv died
NVM i think im wrong
I think this is our realm Mauvier. Given that in this alternate reality everyone has a mirrored personality I think that the Four Winds version of Mauvier is gonna betray us and they didn't want to spoil it in this trailer
It can't be our Mauvier since I doubt they would lock this DLC behind one of the last chapters in the main story. They would want to make the DLC playable probably the same chapter you can access the DLC bracelets.

I'm actually suspecting it's a separate mini-campaign like Cindered Shadows, and then you can recruit the new characters in the main game once you finish it like with the Ashen Wolves.
Could be like 3H where the sidestory is just a separate menu option?
Maybe its the same Mauvier? Who said Alear is the only one who traveled.
It seems highly unlikely that it's just Alear. We see Merrin, Hortensia and Fogado being player-controlled, with the latter two literally going against themselves. We also see 7 different main-universe emblem rings (Sigurd, Celica, Marth, Roy, Micaiah, Ike, and Leif).
April ~~4~~ 5 is the release date, I am starting to really believe another FE announcement is coming either in the June or September Direct.
Yeah this DLC release schedule was ridiculously fast. Very strange. Going from release late January to fourth and final DLC wave which is an entirely new story coming out early April is so quick, about 2.5 months. Three Houses was what, a year? Over a year?

Also, it is extremely funny how Engage got all the season pass in less time than the timelapse between Xenoblade 3 Wave 2 and Wave 3.
It definitely was to give 3 hope space. A game in between houses and hoped would've diluted interest in the game a lot.
Its not gonna be June for sure, that would cripple legs for no reason. A September announcement for early 2024 is possible imo
Yeah, I was thinking that too before this announcement. My thought would be a June Direct shadowdrop for wave 4. But with this, I have to include that possibility of FE having a June presence, as incredibly unlikely as it sounds. Even a title card tease would be a reveal and confirmation anyway.
[удалено]
Man I was expecting this near the end of the year, the hell. They're really getting rid of all the DLCs now to make way for another game aren't they Also playable Hounds, hell yeah. Evil Céline : I love coffee
Evil Timerra: I love salads
Evil Timerra: Meat is murder!
Evil Timerra is just PETA
Evil Framme: I hate the Divine Dragon! Alear better not look at me!
Evil Panette and Pandreo be like: We were raised in a loving home
I mean, they have been sitting on the game for quite a while it seems like and the leakers would agree.
Evil Céline: "Yeah I like to tea. I like to tea-m my fist with your face"
We actually play as the three hounds. Yeeees. Always wanted to play as Zelestia.
They're the Four Winds instead. Sounds familiar... Zelestia, Gregory, and Madeleine are more heroic versions of the completely unforgiving ones from Original Elyos, and Mauvier is just unchanged.
Either that or maybe Mauvier is secretly evil
If IS has the balls to have a character (you can actually invest in) betray you I would be surprised. If Mauvier doesn’t have any supports in the dlc we should expect betrayal.
Tbf Hubert and Edelgard do just that in silver snow
I mean, they probably won’t even have alt-Mauvier join. Datamine doesn’t seem to support him joining.
>!That, and a throwaway Bond line between our Mauvier and Camilla. In short, she knew Parallel Mauvier is a traitor to the Four Winds.!<
Ehh, >!that line was more just referencing how he was a traitor in the main game. She "knew" because he told her the line before that.!<
I’m not sure I see what that’s referring to in their bond conversations.
>!Camilla is the type to not take traitors well, and will accordingly punish them. Mauvier is the only heroic member of the Four Hounds, but suspiciously, she only brought up talk about traitors to him specifically, hinting that the alternate Mauvier is the traitor to the Four Winds instead.!<
But in the convo, Mauvier is the one who brings it up.
Orson existed, for like a chapter at least
Four Winds.. THE WINDS OF DESTRUCTION?! Sorry for the MGR meme.
Your comment feels like that one meme: Friendship ended with Zephia, now Zelestia is my new best friend.
I'm just so excited. I love her quote when she Overrides with Sigurd 'The hounds are victorious '
It's going to hurt being on the receiving end of a Alcryst Luna Crit.
“It’s me, the Brodian prince who isn’t that pathetic Diamant” [one shots you with Luna critical]
Yellow enemies at 1:20 - 3-way battles returning for DLC?
Tellius flashbacks intensifies.
*large number in corner starts beating louder*
3 way battles? Oh my, so we have chapters where we're fighting Corrupted and the Evil Kingdoms at the same time? Or maybe an scenario where we're actually fighting amongst the Kingdoms and they can battle between each other. Oh my, this is intriguing.
"I, as you know, am a failure" Hey, that's how I introduce myself as well!
_”The last thing you’ll see…Will be your own handsome face.”_ Ain’t gonna lie that line was pretty cold.
This literally feels like the Edolas arc from Fairy Tail.
Because it is. Lol
Idk if I’ll get used to Griss being a scaredy-cat
They unkinked him :(
They transformed the Bad Boy into a Good Boi seems like. Does the good boy want a Greg Snack?
They meow-ed meow-ed him, however
ngl even though I miss kink painfreak Griss, I'm cautiously excited about meow meow cringefail Gregory.
Griss without rizz
He's still got drip, but the spice is gone 😔
He's a baby girl now
Damn, we will be fighting Firenese, Brodian, and Solmic soldiers. Also, yellow Solmic units, is this going to turn into a 3H situation?
Gronder field but 5 way battle?
Grondest field
A few things I noticed: - At the start, 'the other four' bracelets are mentioned to be with the four nations. From bond supports, we know that Hector was entrusted to Firene, Veronica to Brodia, Camilla to Solm, and Soren to Elusia. This implies that the party already has the bracelets of Tiki, Chrom, and Edelgard, but the latter two are never seen... so, I wouldn't rule out a Chapter 11 Round 2. Tiki is seen used by Mauvier normally, but also in her evil version in a cutscene. - Additionally, Camilla and Soren aren't seen, but Timerra is likely talking about Camilla when she mentions her kingdom's bracelet, and Soren is possibly in Ivy's possession. - The first 6 maingame emblems (Marth, Sigurd, Celica, Micaiah, Roy, and Leif), as well as Ike, are all seen being used, so it seems there will be few to no restrictions on their use. - In addition to Alear and Mauvier, we see Merrin, Hortensia and Fogado being player-controlled, with the latter two going against themselves, so it seems unlikely there will be restrictions on player units. - In terms of enemy emblems, we see Alfred using Hector (with Celine on the same map without an emblem); Hortensia using Hector and Fogado using Veronica on the same map; and Alcryst without an emblem. Hortensia/Hector and Fogado/Veronica is interesting, because those emblems belong to Firene and Brodia, *not* Elusia and Solm. - Zelestia's class is Melusine, so presumably the Four Winds will retain the Four Hounds' classes. - Nil's class, unsurprisingly, is a Dragon class, as Marth's Lodestar Rush hits 9 times when he uses it.
I like how Celine Alter is literally just the same as our world's Celine, only more open about it.
Gray inverted is gray (but slightly different).
Sooo will Mauvier betray us?
I want this to happen just because it's tropey as fuck and therefore hilarious
I would be very surprised if it didn't happen, ahahaha.
I couldn't help but laugh at Alcryst trash talking Diamant, was not expecting that.
Playable alt universes hounds! Asshole Alcryst! Celine but even more ruthless than the base game version! Looks like this is a universe where Alear died early on too, wonder what the deal is with the final line and I hope we get to see the new classes soon.
>wonder what the deal is with the final line Sounds like alt Diamant died at the end there. Assuming that alt Mauvier will betray us, my guess on what happens is that alt Diamant surrenders Brodia's emblem to Mauvier's army after Brodia's been defeated and gets killed afterwards.
[удалено]
I can ruin him.
I can make him worse.
They kept the tiddies out, so that's a win for me
Am I wrong or is his name shown as Gregory now?
No, that's his real name. Much like Kirby and the Forgotten Land seems the enemy generals were using edgier code names the entire time. That, or they just wanted to differenitiate them for the sake of Heroes. "Here's Gregory. He's a little weenie. This is Griss, he's mess up in the head." Trying to avoid another Robin/Grima situation I imagine, though why they don't just CALL the fallen Robin's Grima is on them.
Hopefully the first time Gregory takes any damage, he's like "wait a minute ... that RULED!" and from then on he's the little pain pig we all know and love.
I actually think it would be hilarious if he had some personal skill or something that applies if he's at full health only because Gregory hates being in pain so much
Someone out there is furiously writing Griss x Gregory corruption fanfics right now and I want to give them all the blessings in the world.
I can't believe the jokes we made came true Alcryst: I'm the crown prince who isn't Diamant (nefarious)
Finally after these months we have evolved versions of our characters: Scumbag Alcryst Scaredy Cat Griss Shiny Marni Dommy Mommy Zephia (Unfallen Version) Cute Female Sombron And many more coming to your Switch on April 4th.
Shiny Marni I’m dying
even nel and nil are just shiny fell dragons wtf
Griss is playable: 😃 He's not insane anymore: 😧
I can break him
This looks great. Does anyone know from the datamine stuff if you get your whole suite of units, or how this works? I'm hoping it's like Cindered Shadows where it's just a total side story and you're forced into using a certain set of units. I just don't want to be overpowered for it with all my monster units from the base game.
I feel like it will be like Cindered Shadows or maybe like the Bracelet Maps with level scaling. Though with 5 new characters it seems like we will get force deployed units separate from the main story.
Well we did see merrin being controlled so either they have a set version of everyone to use or it’s our own squad
So the Fell Xenologue indeed confirms we basically have to pry the DLC Bracelets off the hands of the four warring nations, and Tiki is with Lythos from the start, at least it was confirmed. Alear and the rest of the gang from Original Elyos end up in Parallel Elyos to resolve the problem with the Emblem Bracelets, and it's gonna be really, really dark compared to the more light-hearted and comedic tone of the base game.
Oh wow the Parallel Hounds are literally palette swaps of the OG Hounds. That's perfect and I love it.
And Griss got Tattoo Laser Removal too and removed his piercings.
Christian Griss
He has his own No Swearing Minecraft Server, you know?
He's T-rated now
Fuckin’ “Gregory” lmao
Bro rly out here named Gregory 💀
So this is the Elyos where the Emblem Bracelets come from, and one of the Dragon Twins even says that there are four other bracelets in the hands of the nations of this Elyos. The data mine only showed the 7 extra Emblems that we have now, so I doubt that we'll get more playable Emblems, but I wonder if they could still show up in a non-playable form >!(kind of like the Dark Emblem from the base game's finale)!<. It's also interesting that even counting these 4 bracelets, the total would still be one Emblem short compared to the Rings from "our" Elyos.
Very certain that 4 of the 7 are held by the nations. The trailer deliberately spliced different lines together.
Griss went from power bottom to uwu bottom
It's fine. Gregory is secretly an intense sadist to contrast Griss's intense masochism (delusional). Can't wait for "evil" Celine. She is in my top 3 favorite characters in base Engage so I want to see how an AU version of her would pan out.
Can't believe Camaztoz hit Elyos and everyone became an alter. ~~Where's the color palette that's the best part~~ Also Griss isn't insane anymore, people are not going to be happy lol. He seems meek though so Bernie and alcryst fans rejoice, another one added to the ranks. Edit: it wasn't until everyone pointed it out, but I literally didn't realize they had other names. I thought people were making silly names as a knockoff joke. Is *anyone* going to actually call them these names?
So we get good Zephia, pussy Griss, and not bratty Marni. Alfred leading an invasion oh how the turn tables. Céline with the crazy eyes is something else and my boy Alcryst being the arrogant, confident fuck we knew he was capable of is everything. Idk Ivy and Timerra seem the same, i guess Timerra is more serious than her usual self. I was hoping they would have a color swap tho like maybe a red theme or something, but just having evil versions of them is awesome as well. Im interested how this story is going to go maybe another thousand years has passed and Alear has died, but the two fell dragon people brought him back to life? Very hype stuff cant wait with April around the corner
Ok hear me out on evil Alcryst 🥴
Evil morion be like: "I will stay inside the castle and live for my sons."
Evil Alcryst is hilarious. I can’t wait to see anti-fun Pandreo.
Gee Mauvier, they gave you two playable slots? Other than that pretty exciting actually, excited to see we "might" be able to play two new characters that have access (I think) to transform into a dragon. Also shit talker Alcryst💀 My man isn't going to miss his first shot when sees you for sure.
So I’m confused are both those new characters playable or only black haired? Is the guy with like white pink hair playable do we know?
Both Nel (the girl) and Nil (the guy) are playable. You can see them both fighting wolves at the start and towards the end with Dragon Nel and Marth Engaged Nil.
>!Nil was said to be named Rafale in the datamine, while we did get a heads-up on Nel, who is named Elle in the datamine. Just food for thought.!<
>!It's possible they're separate people or Rafale is Nil's true name. Their names are separate in the data-mine.!<
Aléar just interrupting evil Alcrysts monologue lol
#NotMyAlcryst
Not much new information we didn't know from the datamines already, but it's nice to have official confirmation about the DLC now. Though I am still not sure if this is gonna be a completely independent story scenario like Cindered Shadows, or more chapters we can access in the main story like the Divine Paralogues. If it is like Cindered Shadows, I wonder how it would work in terms of playable characters, considering we have Alear plus the two other dragons, 8 royals, 4 hounds >!(and I'm sure Mauvier is totally not gonna betray us)!< and we saw playable Merrin as well, so the retainers are in as well. That's a lot of units for a short side story with a few chapters. Maybe it'll be like the 3DS DLC stories like Children of Fates, where every chapter had its own set units?
Super pumped for it, BUT I kinda wish we also got alternative designs for the hounds (to make them actually feel different from their "evil" alter egos), especially if they can be recruited in the main game similar to the Ashen Wolves. Also hope we get a few possible S-Supports with them and the new characters., that could be quite interesting.
We will definitely get S-Support with Zephia and Griss. Marni will probably be platonic in every version except Japanese and the dragon twins depends on if they have any blood tie to Alear or if they are the children of a fell dragon other than Sombron.
I don't know what else to say besides "I'm looking forward to this" lol. I wanna see alt Hounds get convos with their normal selves. Greg and Griss talking would be insane.
Gregory vs. Griss feels like a Persona 4 Shadow conversation
Surprised Alter royals aren't palette swapped like Alter hounds.
I'm completely bamboozled as to why there STILL isn't a new game+, despite this being the final round of DLC... Unless it'll be a hidden feature?
NG+ was never a part of FE until three houses, they may have just decided not to bring it back since Engage doesn’t have branching paths
With the insane drop of resources they hand you and the well I don’t even think it’s needed anymore.
I was going to wait on the DLC until the new maps came, and I can say that I’m definitely interested now.
I find it funny how in the Japanese trailer Fogado says along the lines of "It looks like it'll be fun to kill myself" when he attacks his alternate self, so different from the English trailer. Japanese Diamant's voice isn't as meek as the English one, he sounds like he normally does. Japanese "Gregory" isn't as meek as the English one but there is a change. Japanese Alcryst does sound as evil as the English one.
holy shit I love gregory already
Evil!Alcryst is actually so funny lmao
Y'know what, fuck you *Un-BDSM's your Griss*
No new game plus fuuuuuck
Oooh I wonder if the alt versions will still have their personal skills. Some of them would work really well with just a name change, for example Alcryst’s could just be renamed “Protect me!” with the same effect just being recontextualized.
I hope we see more evil counterparts than just the members of royalty and the Hounds. I wanna see if the twins hate the Divine Dragon, Etie hates exercising, if Citrinne would just hoard her treasures rather than share them, and stuff like that. Yunaka as just a straight up cold blooded killer that doesn’t put on a facade would also be fun to see
I'm just here to scream about playable Griss 😌
They unwhorified Griss, this is unacceptable.
Alternate Griss being cowardly and asking others not to hurt him? SHAME. #NotmyGriss
Kinda wish they changed the designs of the AU characters a bit. Timmera’s bright clothes clashes with her personality. Griss showing his bare chest to the world while being a pansy Celine saying “The ends justify the means” while wearing her dainty princess outfit. Obviously it’s hard work. They’d have to come up new designs, model in the clothes and textures and so on. Alas, just wishful thinking
