M Byleth is S tier for me. I don't dislike F Byleth but she doesn't fit the role of an emotionless, Ashen Demon, Mercenary turned Professor nearly as well as M Byleth. She would be B tier for me.
It’s just my opinion but personally I think male byleth is the “canon” (in a very loose sense of the word) protagonist for every route except blue lions. It’s hard to describe but those paths just fit him better. And I’d say the interactions between dimitri and female byleth work slightly better. Idk, I know no-one asked
Ashe is my favorite, but I am use to people hating him sadly. People just sleep on a very well-written character, same for Ingrid. People just judge those 2 very quickly and don't try to understand them, and I feel Petra is great.
Rodrigue and Judith being way more interesting/charismatic/relevant characters in their respective routes but instead we got Gilbert as the only playable one. A rightful F tier

@@thethantasticthea3385 Yes, and I love that when Ignatz presumes he's angry about how his parents got killed because of Ignatz's family, he just goes explains that it was an accident, he doesn't hold him accountable and is his dear friend.

Personally I feel like Sylvain is one of the characters the writers put most depth in, a clear S tier and my most favorite character of all time. Unfortunately I feel like the fandom easily misses the most interesting parts about him, and the depth the writers have actually given him, because it's not as clearly communicated as with other characters like Dimitri or Bernadetta. He's received quite a few exceptions that aren't explicitly pointed out, so I don't really blame anyone, but least people actually take the time to "read" into this. He's still pretty popular, but also highly misunderstood which makes me a little sad. But wow boy do I love him.
I was about to leave and angry comment but I remembered the meaninglessness of getting angry at someone I'll never meet so I left an angry like and got out
His reasoning behind it was kinda fucked. He made fun of her for how she talks yet didnt even mention where shes from which is why she talks like that. Like does he make fun of everybody that speaks broken english? Hope not
@Merciless Freak Ashe is cool. He isn't amazing, but he's a relatively normal character in a house full of people with tragic pasts. He's got his Lonato stuff, but otherwise he's just some guy
@Merciless Freak I just saw Dedue as Dimitri’s robot sidekick and that’s about it. He never really did anything interesting in my eyes. Ashe was just plainly likable and actually felt like a real person when I talked to him.
@Merciless Freak I watched all Dedues supports and he always just seemed like Dimitri’s robot sidekick. He never felt like he was even a character. I just don’t get what’s likable about him.
_"Ashe is boring"_ I dunno dude, Ashe holding onto the personality that he has both during and after one of the worst wars the continent has seen, whilst also having to fight/fought his old friends, speaks volumes to me.
I was expecting his combat with his dad to be interesting, and it ends up kinda not. He’s pretty one note, but I found him kinda interesting, at least compared to other one note characters.
@@crabbyboi7416 Ashe has to deal with so much shit but still manages to keep his personality being happy and optimistic is what makes him interesting. He gets orphaned at like 10. Has to be a parent to two younger siblings and become a thief. Gets adopted by a noble, then his new older brother figure gets killed. He then has to kill his new adopted figure (or watch him die at the hands of his class/schoolmates). Then comes the war, and it all just shows how strong of a will and how good of a guy he really is. Literally any part of that is enough to bring down anyone else.
His ratings for Ashe and Ignatz will not go over well lol. Also, Ingrid is so underrated by the fanbase. She was easily an A tier character for me. She has struggles, actual growth, and a lot of her supports, particularly the ones with Claude and Sylvain, are hilarious and cute. Plus, she makes an excellent pegasus rider.
Ingrid's designs are great too. At first I didn't like getting rid of the long braid in the post timeskip, but its grown on me so much that I weirdly prefer it. Both are really good though.
@@zeldrio6079 I think I still prefer her first look, but like you said, they're both great. The cape with the fur lining and the armour combo in the time-skip outfit looks really sharp.
I healed Gilbert with Annette in the mission where he's first introduced as a combat unit, and his response was, "Thank you, stranger!" It was at this moment that I decided that Gilbert was worth approximately zero percent of my already limited shits-to-give
Same girl same. I did GD on my first play through and worked my ass off to get him on my side and he became the MVP on the team in the process. You deserve better sweet Ashe
Ingrid is one of those "you're not like most (insert slur), you're one of the good ones" only because you did something for her. She totally says "Duscur" with a hard R. -Hilda, I'll trust Claude's judgment on. EDIT: whoops, nevermind, see below- EDIT: Following some response comments, I rewatched the Hilda/Cyril support. I'd forgotten it, since it was actually one of the first I ever watched. She was indeed that same kind of racist, but the difference is on all versions of her native route (not just supporting with one person in particular), she actually grows against her many faults on her own. And didn't need someone repeatedly risking their lives for her to do it, even on their support chain. That said, I still don't like Hilda as a person, but as a character, I'd put her as a B at best. Probably a C. Ingrid is at best a D, because Sylvain improves her standing.
I pretty much have the same kind of opinion about him that SungWon has about Felix, he's a shithead but I still like him. His support with Ashe legitimately made me angry though lmao.
@@vazquez2073 The joke is that he's going to be bombarded by people asking him to rank the characters in Path of Radiance, Awakening, the one that's literally named Fire Emblem, and so on.
@@CazTheGamerGuy Ah, i see. I thought it was a joke criticising the lack of localized games, hence the confusion. Thanks for explaining. Not gonna lie, would actually be one of those people who would like to see him rank the other characters, but also totally fine with him not doing it.
Leonies great when she is an enemy, trashing her dreams and betraying her father figure is insane. Every other student seems upset when you betray their cause but she is really pissed about you ruining her life.
i seriously don't get how someone who can look past marianne and bernie's faults can't recognize that leonie doesn't even mention jeralt that much. it's about 1/4 of her supports, and that's with characters that it makes sense for her to talk about him with - byleth, alois, and felix. they either have a direct connection to jeralt or they deal with tactics together. so basically, i cannot comprehend why someone who can go past ms. im gonna yell and ms. my problems are fixed by killing my ancestor can't get past a few logical supports
Damn I was really hoping Sylvain would be given an S. He's my favorite! Fantastic character development, especially when your rank him and Mercedes up together
Anna is so annoying. She has support conversations in Fates and Awakening if you are really interested. She has definitely overstayed her welcome, but it's basically a tradition at this point to include Anna in the game.
The funniest part of the Ingrid hate is the 'she's racist' bit, despite having a valid reason to be bitter towards Duscur, but even gets over it pretty much in the C Support with Dedue. Then we have Hilda, who everyone loves but literally refers to Cyril as 'one of the good ones'. Not saying I dislike Hilda, just a funny observation. EDIT: A reply caught my poor choice of words, and I fixed it.
I don’t even know if I would say Ingrid is racist shes more xenophobic she didn’t dislike Dedue because of his skin color it’s just because he’s from Duscur
@@Ethan-nl2wg bruh exactly I don't get why people haven't noticed that people from Duscur aren't all dark skinned liked Dedue. She isn't racist but she is xenophobic just like you said
@@skapb To rephrase, a valid reason to be angry, and bitter towards the people of Duscur. As luigidavid said, she is more xenophobic than she is racist.
Yeah but Petra probably sounds eloquent in her native language. I tell myself this every time I hear someone leave out words in English when it's their 2nd language.
@@patrickripleyiii134 I... I'm literally talking to you on a language different from my native one (spanish). If you literally live with people who speak the "new" language all the time and don't pick up any mannerism you are: a- ridiculously oblivious b- extremely close minded c -intentionally trying to avoid internalizing the other culture (maybe related to b)
@@Nirwanda001 It's more like the english dub did her dirty. In the japanese version her post time skills are much much better, if that doesn't translate as well in the English version well it's not really the poor girl's fault.
@@Nirwanda001 Spanish to English, not as hard as lets say, Chinese to English. Who knows what Petra's language is like. And her character is actually quite wise based off her support convos. People who didn't use her because they didn't like her broken English probably wouldn't know that though.
I kinda like Raphael a lot because he is just like...a good guy, complete character. Everyone else here having to figure out life and Raphael just DOES the right thing, there we go!
>Hanneman could be better My dude he literally undoes the Crest system on his own with science because of his tragic backstory. He's also such a chad that he can marry Dorothea lmao.
Hanneman talking with Edelgard: "I use the stones to destroy the stones..." And he even knows Edie's doing the same thing regarding TWSITD. This man gets it.
dorothea can marry anybody, if she wants it she gets it XD. But yeah, Hanneman can do better, his sister's death took too much toll on him that he devoted his entire life to crests
The most fleshed out arc in the game maybe, but I wouldn’t say it was good by any means. His arc was built up so much that the “trigger” that caused him to change was so underwhelming. (Spoiler Alert) Maybe it’s just personal bias but I felt like the young girl that killed Rodrigue should’ve actually had a story much like Dimitri (fueled by rage and revenge) where she inevitably dies in battle due to Dimitri recruiting her. Him seeing the influence and consequences of his actions would’ve been a much stronger trigger point IMO. To me it’s hard to understand why Rodrigue’s death caused Dimitri to change when it would’ve just added to the list of reasons to fuel his rage.
@@xWtfMomentsx Well I give you that. I also didn't really like how Rodrigue sole existence is to just be a sacrifice. Beside that's also one biggest plot hole in the game where byleth could just rewind time to save him. Maybe if they go to this route, Fleche would spout something that "triggers" Dimitri to woke up, kinda seeing himself onto the girl and so he reflects on it or something like that. I think that would be nicer, also give Fleche more depth than just... a literal disposable character
I've said this in like 3 other comments, but there is a difference with Hilda being frustrated over constant skirmishes at Fodlan's Throat and Ingrid knowing about the genocide of the Duscar people and tells Dedue "Yeah, well they deserved it" And while probably not politically correct, Hilda isn't wrong that the Almyrans put way too much emphasis on fighting, as Claude, Cyril, and Nadar agree about that with varying levels of experience. (Claude as an heir, Cyril as a victim, and Nadar as a general who really likes to fight) The Duscar were set up, suffered, and Ingrid still refused to show sympathy for like 4/5ths of the game.
@@skycaptain39 I've played this game for an unhealthy amount of time, and I've never seen that Hilda support. (Or Cyril support) Mind pointing when and where it was said to back it up? Hilda does say some incredibly ignorant stuff in her Support with Cyril, but it's ignorant and not, you know, wishing death
@@TheDancerMacabre Cyril: Before Lady Rhea took me in, I had a real hard time as a servant of House Goneril. Note that Cyril did originally live in Almyra so he was more or less kidnapped It's not from a support, it's the conversation before Hilda and Cyril's paralogue
This is how fights get started. Lysithea and Marianne (when she finally smiles) HIGH up there for me. I love the characters of Three Houses. Even characters I didn't like at first I grew to love for all houses. I agree about Shamir thoo. Wish Anna had supports 😭
Leonie has a lot of interesting parts to her character, they just get overshadowed by her Jeralt fixation too often. Her supports with people other than Byleth make me like her, but main story she can be a bit insufferable.
When you get that animated cutscene of when you first enter Garreg Mach: I saw Leonie and thought "Yep, short hair spunky tomboy, that's my type!" I had every intention of S-Ranking her. Then she started talking about my dad... a lot. Ok, a little weird, but she's just fangirling. Then that B-Support conversation. Holy hell Leo... At that point it was like "I really want to send you to your death, but of of respect for the story, I'll just bench you. "
@@TheDancerMacabre that B support literally is super out of place especially since then when you do explore that month she has an ACTUALLY GENUINE REACTION TO JERALT'S DEATH. so like just completely pretend that one support never happened and she's the best
Church daddy is for sure S tier. Seteth is my personal favorite character alongside Rhea. The complexity and the depth those two have just made me want to invest in them more as characters. I love a good enigma and puzzle to solve, and when they open up it is extremely fulfilling and you just respect them more as well written character.
@@wanderlustwarrior they arent exclusives though. They’re available on 3/4 routes. I mean characters like the lords, hubert, dedue, Jeritza, and Gilbert. The only character thats exclusive to GD is Claude which is a crying shame when Judith and Nader are RIGHT THERE.
Dorothea going from peppy "This rose has thorns! :3" pre-skip to completely defeated "Only thorns left on this rose" post just broke my dang heart. Instant S tier for just that.
Talking to her every time during Monetary exploration days, hearing how much war has changed her life. And how absolutely depressed she’s become with seeing her former classmates die... So heart wrenching! And yet so real it hurts.
During my black eagles I was debating marrying her or Ferdinand. She won me over once I saw how much the war took a toll on her and how sensitive she really is. Felt like I had to protect her and give her a happy life
someone else pointed this out before but i love how he goes from picking apart every member of the black eagles and their flaws to "yes these are all my dumb children now and i will use their power to kill you"
Not only that but he actually is an amazing character. He’s what actual religious people SHOULD be like. I especially love his support with Felix where he talks about Felix’s anger. The Leonie one is amazing too.
I married Sothis in my first playthrough because I was under the impression that she was part of me and that she would never come back so I would effectively marry myself but no she just came back, and that's the story of how I tried to marry myself and accidentally married a child.
All I will say in Ashe's defense is that he was an orphan not once, but twice. Then loses Byleth as a mentor figure, as well as any hope of having a peaceful life. It's a miracle he didn't go insane at any point. He may be a goody-two-shoes, but his resolve has been tested enough that it's impossible to mistaken his resolve for naivete. Plus his support with Dedue are adorable! Blue Lions really does has the most best boys.
He's sooo nice! Playing the BL route and seeing him react to losing Lonato is so sad but great in terms of being interestinf but he knows he must move on. It's part of why I hate his Catherine support. Catherine just teaches him to indulge her masochism and ruin him. God I hate it so much.
I did GD route first and did everything I could to get Ashe on my side because I just kinda fell in love with how sweet he was. He ended up becoming one of the MVP's after all of the shit and class changes i threw at him
Ashe is like Annette without the goofy songs and clumsiness. He's an absolute cinnamon roll and his freckles are so darn cute but I guess people into the 'must-protect-waifu' characters won't appreciate his straightforward preciousness.
Leonie is actually top tier when she shuts the hell up about Jeralt. There was a paralogue with her where she doesn't mention Jeralt even once, and her actual personality and capabilities really shine.
@Merciless Freak I think she's great. Like when she patches up a torn up bag, it looks ugly but she doesn't care cuz it still works and doesn't wanna put it to waste. The way she casually addresses a giant god monster as "Mr Magic Beast". How humble she acts when she actually gets her hands on The Inexhaustible. She really shows how a Commoner who doesn't care much for deities would think and act.
The writing really does her a disservice when a lot of her monastery dialogues just HAVE TO mention Jeralt. There are still some good moments when she does talk about Jeralt, and I think that part of her still adds to her character positively, but the emphasis the game places on it is too much too often.
@@thedontpanic if you look at her support with other people especially people outside of the golden deer house she almost never mentions Jeralt. This is just another case of someone not liking a character off the bat so they never indulge in the character’s deeper personality which is understandable but makes you miss so many things. Leonie is actually a really good character. She has no weaknesses which makes her in my opinion one of the best units in the entire game and she genuinely is really nice and considerate to others. Super passionate about their interest and always eager to learn more and grow. Her supports with others reflects that. Wish people didn’t degrade her to a Jeralt simp even though it’s easy to do
@@abnormalsaniaa Hey, don't get me wrong, I love Leonie a ton too. I've made the exact same point you have before, and I think her supports are really good. But I even I have to admit that the monastery dialogues often do the rest of her character a disservice. I hate that people just reduce her character, but the game kind of does it too.
I don't even know much about Fire Emblem, but I know that Gatekeeper is precious an just want to make you happy, and that's more than enough to make him SSS tier
Cyril SHOULD be an interesting character but the writers don't seem to understand how fucked up his situation is. It's very sad but no one realizes it? The hell
I really wanted to like Cyril, yunno? But in the end he has two personality traits (one of them is liking Rhea and the other is working hard) which add up to very little. The writing IS him, so I'm not inclined to find him more interesting because of his tragic backstory. Honestly, he just serves to make Rhea more interesting and that's about it
Personally I still like Cyril because I feel despite his bluntness he still looks out for others and cares for them outside of Rhea. (Ex: Ashe, Lysithea, Claude, Petra) I guess as someone who’s an immigrant I related to some of the stuff he went through in terms of suddenly being in another country plus the shit Hilda said to him in their C support. I think it was more on the writers than Cyril himself because they have a good plot line for him that correlates to Claude. His situation his extremely screwed up from being a child soldier, to being a slave, and feeling you’re indebted to someone who doesn’t nearly care for you as much all up to the age of 14.
Cyril is really good, and I think he is the most interesting in Golden Deer and through his supports with those characters (especially Lysithea). The fact that he's an Almyran comes up way more there and Claude will even kind of jokingly champion him for his cause of unity and it works surprisingly well. He has a bit more to his personality than most give him credit for and I think just because he appears as a simpler character doesnt mean he's a bad one. He honestly is one of my favorites because of what I stumbled upon on accident with him, Claude, Lysithea, and just the subtleties in his character. Him still wanting to be a wyvern rider because that was a tradition back home was really touching and it shows that he still has that link to his culture/homeland despite the fact that he resents them for being orphaned. I believe while he appears one note because of his blind gratitude to Rhea, he's got a lot more to him than a lot of the other "I love Rhea" characters
Also I don't think I've ever seen anyone question the fact that Rhea never taught him how to read or write, so he's pretty much a slave but he doesn't see it like that
You may not agree with Sungwon's picks. But don't forget the words of the wise church daddy. "As unwavering as your convictions may be, the others also feel strongly about their beliefs. If you hate all those whose beliefs are different from yours, you will hate everyone eventually."
Everyone loves to hate on Ingrid for being slightly racist due to childhood trauma but then just conveniently forgets about Hilda "Almyrans are lazy savages" Goneril
Man. I missed that conversation at some point. People in the comments keep pointing out that Hilda is also racist. I remember Hilda being a lazy girl that cons people into doing things for her by taking advantage of the fact most people think she's ditzy and kinda hot and plays those aspects of herself up.
Like irl, it’s pretty easy to miss the fact Hilda’s covertly/subconsciously racist. Growing up right next to the border in a family praised for keeping invading Almyrans out, she was bound to absorb some negative stereotypes. And I only realized this in Hilda x Cyril’s support conversation, it’s one of my most favorites but also underrated in the game
Advocating the genocide of an entire nation is not “slightly racist”. Ingrid is actively racist while Hilda is subconsciously racist. That’s why people overlook it.
People really need to learn the difference between 'racism' and 'nationalism'. She hates a nations people for what she perceives them to have done, not for their very existence.

Also, Ingrid is so underrated by the fanbase. She was easily an A tier character for me. She has struggles, actual growth, and a lot of her supports, particularly the ones with Claude and Sylvain, are hilarious and cute. Plus, she makes an excellent pegasus rider.
Yes, a fellow Ingrid stan!
@@slyguy183 Yes, there are so few of us haha.
Ingrid's designs are great too. At first I didn't like getting rid of the long braid in the post timeskip, but its grown on me so much that I weirdly prefer it. Both are really good though.
Hell yeah brother.
@@zeldrio6079 I think I still prefer her first look, but like you said, they're both great. The cape with the fur lining and the armour combo in the time-skip outfit looks really sharp.
I healed Gilbert with Annette in the mission where he's first introduced as a combat unit, and his response was, "Thank you, stranger!"
It was at this moment that I decided that Gilbert was worth approximately zero percent of my already limited shits-to-give
Development Oversight maybe?
@@pilot_aki Definitely, but it was just a little thing that made me go, "Gilbert!!!" when it happened, and in retrospect is kind of hilarious.

Ingrid is racist tho, thats no bueno

You right.
CUZ HILDA'S A SSS TIER BB
Hilda! Hilda! Hilda!
I totally agreed with those two
Ingrid is one of those "you're not like most (insert slur), you're one of the good ones" only because you did something for her.
She totally says "Duscur" with a hard R.
-Hilda, I'll trust Claude's judgment on. EDIT: whoops, nevermind, see below-
EDIT: Following some response comments, I rewatched the Hilda/Cyril support. I'd forgotten it, since it was actually one of the first I ever watched. She was indeed that same kind of racist, but the difference is on all versions of her native route (not just supporting with one person in particular), she actually grows against her many faults on her own. And didn't need someone repeatedly risking their lives for her to do it, even on their support chain.
That said, I still don't like Hilda as a person, but as a character, I'd put her as a B at best. Probably a C. Ingrid is at best a D, because Sylvain improves her standing.
SungWon: "You can't really hate Caspar"
You don't know this fandom at all, do you?
I think Caspar's cute and I STILL hate him.
I pretty much have the same kind of opinion about him that SungWon has about Felix, he's a shithead but I still like him. His support with Ashe legitimately made me angry though lmao.
I've only played BL (just got the game).and failed to recruit Caspar. I love him from the outside. Why do people hate him?

Congratulations on dedicating yourself to ranking all of the localized Fire Emblem games' characters.

Leonies great when she is an enemy, trashing her dreams and betraying her father figure is insane. Every other student seems upset when you betray their cause but she is really pissed about you ruining her life.
i seriously don't get how someone who can look past marianne and bernie's faults can't recognize that leonie doesn't even mention jeralt that much. it's about 1/4 of her supports, and that's with characters that it makes sense for her to talk about him with - byleth, alois, and felix. they either have a direct connection to jeralt or they deal with tactics together.
so basically, i cannot comprehend why someone who can go past ms. im gonna yell and ms. my problems are fixed by killing my ancestor can't get past a few logical supports
My hot take -
Every playable character in this game is S tier, all of them deserve love equally and I love all of them
Except Ferdinand who’s SS
If all are S then all D
Even Cyril?
Exception: Gilbert
@@InuriaTalis I completely agree. His supports are amazing.
Damn I was really hoping Sylvain would be given an S. He's my favorite! Fantastic character development, especially when your rank him and Mercedes up together
Leonie's one of my favorites, but by now I'm used to her being near the bottom of every ranking.
gosh, same. i think she’s s-teir tbh
I agree why were they so lazy to give Anna support conversations?
Anna is so annoying. She has support conversations in Fates and Awakening if you are really interested. She has definitely overstayed her welcome, but it's basically a tradition at this point to include Anna in the game.
@@Paulkotsu she was my best sniper in Awakening and I really liked her crit lines lol. I'm pretty sure she only had support with Robin which was lame

I do rememember when Ingrid admitted her racism.
Was Hilda's case in one of her supports or something?
I Need a Name 8429 cyril support. I’m trying to remember if it came up in Claude’s as well?
Gilbert: I left my family to get smokes, and I'll do it again after the game is over, but please like me as a character
The funniest part of the Ingrid hate is the 'she's racist' bit, despite having a valid reason to be bitter towards Duscur, but even gets over it pretty much in the C Support with Dedue.
Then we have Hilda, who everyone loves but literally refers to Cyril as 'one of the good ones'.
Not saying I dislike Hilda, just a funny observation.
EDIT: A reply caught my poor choice of words, and I fixed it.
I don’t even know if I would say Ingrid is racist shes more xenophobic she didn’t dislike Dedue because of his skin color it’s just because he’s from Duscur
@@Ethan-nl2wg bruh exactly I don't get why people haven't noticed that people from Duscur aren't all dark skinned liked Dedue. She isn't racist but she is xenophobic just like you said

The Zant comment about Lorenz with that edit knocked me on my ass 😂🤣
Yeah but Petra probably sounds eloquent in her native language. I tell myself this every time I hear someone leave out words in English when it's their 2nd language.
The fact that she hasn't gotten used to teh language after the time skip makes me think she's just dumb
Yeah it can be extremely hard to be totally fluent at a language, especially when the language can have totally different conventions
@@patrickripleyiii134 I... I'm literally talking to you on a language different from my native one (spanish). If you literally live with people who speak the "new" language all the time and don't pick up any mannerism you are:

c -intentionally trying to avoid internalizing the other culture (maybe related to b)

>Hanneman could be better
My dude he literally undoes the Crest system on his own with science because of his tragic backstory. He's also such a chad that he can marry Dorothea lmao.
Hanneman talking with Edelgard: "I use the stones to destroy the stones..."
And he even knows Edie's doing the same thing regarding TWSITD.
This man gets it.
dorothea can marry anybody, if she wants it she gets it XD. But yeah, Hanneman can do better, his sister's death took too much toll on him that he devoted his entire life to crests
Holst ranks all the characters
Not putting Dimitri, who has the best character arc in the game, in S tier is a sin. And Dedue would flip if he knew he was put on S but not Dimitri
The most fleshed out arc in the game maybe, but I wouldn’t say it was good by any means. His arc was built up so much that the “trigger” that caused him to change was so underwhelming.
(Spoiler Alert)
Maybe it’s just personal bias but I felt like the young girl that killed Rodrigue should’ve actually had a story much like Dimitri (fueled by rage and revenge) where she inevitably dies in battle due to Dimitri recruiting her. Him seeing the influence and consequences of his actions would’ve been a much stronger trigger point IMO. To me it’s hard to understand why Rodrigue’s death caused Dimitri to change when it would’ve just added to the list of reasons to fuel his rage.
@@xWtfMomentsx Well I give you that. I also didn't really like how Rodrigue sole existence is to just be a sacrifice. Beside that's also one biggest plot hole in the game where byleth could just rewind time to save him. Maybe if they go to this route, Fleche would spout something that "triggers" Dimitri to woke up, kinda seeing himself onto the girl and so he reflects on it or something like that. I think that would be nicer, also give Fleche more depth than just... a literal disposable character
This is based on attraction foremost.
Celebrating because I'm so used to Linhardt being near the bottom of everyone's tier lists.
I though I was the only one lol
I respect your opinions. Dorothea, Edelgard, and Annette are best girl.
Sylvain is one of my favorite characters but B is fine
Ashe and Ingrid are two of my favourite Blue Lions... I weep....
Ingrid: d tier because she's racist
Hilda: s tier
Hmmmmmmmm
Well he rated Cyril an F so he probably never saw their support conversation.
I've said this in like 3 other comments, but there is a difference with Hilda being frustrated over constant skirmishes at Fodlan's Throat and Ingrid knowing about the genocide of the Duscar people and tells Dedue "Yeah, well they deserved it"
And while probably not politically correct, Hilda isn't wrong that the Almyrans put way too much emphasis on fighting, as Claude, Cyril, and Nadar agree about that with varying levels of experience. (Claude as an heir, Cyril as a victim, and Nadar as a general who really likes to fight)
The Duscar were set up, suffered, and Ingrid still refused to show sympathy for like 4/5ths of the game.
@@TheDancerMacabre Hilda owned slaves lol
@@skycaptain39 I've played this game for an unhealthy amount of time, and I've never seen that Hilda support. (Or Cyril support)
Mind pointing when and where it was said to back it up?
Hilda does say some incredibly ignorant stuff in her Support with Cyril, but it's ignorant and not, you know, wishing death
@@TheDancerMacabre Cyril: Before Lady Rhea took me in, I had a real hard time as a servant of House Goneril.
Note that Cyril did originally live in Almyra so he was more or less kidnapped
It's not from a support, it's the conversation before Hilda and Cyril's paralogue
This is how fights get started. Lysithea and Marianne (when she finally smiles) HIGH up there for me. I love the characters of Three Houses. Even characters I didn't like at first I grew to love for all houses. I agree about Shamir thoo. Wish Anna had supports 😭
Dimitri not S tier?
*Kill every last one of them*
As probably the only person to ever romance her in their first blind playthrough, I'm just happy he didn't rate Leonie lower
I didnt completely blind playthrough
I actually planned to S Support Lysithea
And then I got to know Leonie and those plans changed
Leonie has a lot of interesting parts to her character, they just get overshadowed by her Jeralt fixation too often. Her supports with people other than Byleth make me like her, but main story she can be a bit insufferable.
When you get that animated cutscene of when you first enter Garreg Mach: I saw Leonie and thought "Yep, short hair spunky tomboy, that's my type!"
I had every intention of S-Ranking her.
Then she started talking about my dad... a lot. Ok, a little weird, but she's just fangirling.
Then that B-Support conversation. Holy hell Leo... At that point it was like "I really want to send you to your death, but of of respect for the story, I'll just bench you. "
@@TheDancerMacabre that B support literally is super out of place especially since then when you do explore that month she has an ACTUALLY GENUINE REACTION TO JERALT'S DEATH. so like just completely pretend that one support never happened and she's the best
I married Leonie in SS if it helps

Though as far as I'm concerned, Azure Moon can keep Gilbert. Dedue is great, though.
Dorothea going from peppy "This rose has thorns! :3" pre-skip to completely defeated "Only thorns left on this rose" post just broke my dang heart. Instant S tier for just that.
Talking to her every time during Monetary exploration days, hearing how much war has changed her life. And how absolutely depressed she’s become with seeing her former classmates die...
So heart wrenching! And yet so real it hurts.
During my black eagles I was debating marrying her or Ferdinand. She won me over once I saw how much the war took a toll on her and how sensitive she really is. Felt like I had to protect her and give her a happy life
"We killed Ferdie" is the single best scene in the game.
It's the "more fighting..." everytime I selected her that got me.
I think the reason I like her so much is bc of where she comes from. Same w Petra. Both are strangers to the noble world and are navigating it
Seteth being called "Church Daddy" made me die xD
I literally spat out some of my tea at Church Daddy, I started giggling so hard. No idea why since I normally don’t react to much
I see nothing wrong with these statements.

Not really when they have a romanceable ending which explains why Dorothea hated Ferdinand and explains it all, honestly a great romance.
9:40 “I’m basically a catholic father” caught me completely off guard and had me dyingggg
I'm surprised he didn't even mention how much of a deadbeat dad Gilbert is. That brings him down for sure.
They're the same thing lmao
I married Sothis in my first playthrough because I was under the impression that she was part of me and that she would never come back so I would effectively marry myself but no she just came back, and that's the story of how I tried to marry myself and accidentally married a child.
But her S-support is really sweet. Not sexualized at all, it's just "I liked sharing a soul with you so I decided to come back and do it forever".
She literally says that y'all are one person though
Alois is definitely the type of character who would say, “I think that enemy got THE POINT!”
Aloirchibald
All I will say in Ashe's defense is that he was an orphan not once, but twice. Then loses Byleth as a mentor figure, as well as any hope of having a peaceful life. It's a miracle he didn't go insane at any point. He may be a goody-two-shoes, but his resolve has been tested enough that it's impossible to mistaken his resolve for naivete.
Plus his support with Dedue are adorable! Blue Lions really does has the most best boys.
He's sooo nice! Playing the BL route and seeing him react to losing Lonato is so sad but great in terms of being interestinf but he knows he must move on. It's part of why I hate his Catherine support. Catherine just teaches him to indulge her masochism and ruin him. God I hate it so much.
Idk i just don't care about him.
I did GD route first and did everything I could to get Ashe on my side because I just kinda fell in love with how sweet he was. He ended up becoming one of the MVP's after all of the shit and class changes i threw at him
Ashe is like Annette without the goofy songs and clumsiness. He's an absolute cinnamon roll and his freckles are so darn cute but I guess people into the 'must-protect-waifu' characters won't appreciate his straightforward preciousness.
Leonie is actually top tier when she shuts the hell up about Jeralt. There was a paralogue with her where she doesn't mention Jeralt even once, and her actual personality and capabilities really shine.
@Merciless Freak I think she's great. Like when she patches up a torn up bag, it looks ugly but she doesn't care cuz it still works and doesn't wanna put it to waste. The way she casually addresses a giant god monster as "Mr Magic Beast". How humble she acts when she actually gets her hands on The Inexhaustible. She really shows how a Commoner who doesn't care much for deities would think and act.
The writing really does her a disservice when a lot of her monastery dialogues just HAVE TO mention Jeralt. There are still some good moments when she does talk about Jeralt, and I think that part of her still adds to her character positively, but the emphasis the game places on it is too much too often.
@@thedontpanic if you look at her support with other people especially people outside of the golden deer house she almost never mentions Jeralt. This is just another case of someone not liking a character off the bat so they never indulge in the character’s deeper personality which is understandable but makes you miss so many things. Leonie is actually a really good character. She has no weaknesses which makes her in my opinion one of the best units in the entire game and she genuinely is really nice and considerate to others. Super passionate about their interest and always eager to learn more and grow. Her supports with others reflects that. Wish people didn’t degrade her to a Jeralt simp even though it’s easy to do
@Merciless Freak agreed leonie Pinelli best girl
@@abnormalsaniaa Hey, don't get me wrong, I love Leonie a ton too. I've made the exact same point you have before, and I think her supports are really good.

Felix îs edgy and trash
Cyril SHOULD be an interesting character but the writers don't seem to understand how fucked up his situation is. It's very sad but no one realizes it? The hell
I really wanted to like Cyril, yunno? But in the end he has two personality traits (one of them is liking Rhea and the other is working hard) which add up to very little. The writing IS him, so I'm not inclined to find him more interesting because of his tragic backstory. Honestly, he just serves to make Rhea more interesting and that's about it
@@rock9154 In JP he is a tsundere as well, they completely removed that from the EN version it seems
Personally I still like Cyril because I feel despite his bluntness he still looks out for others and cares for them outside of Rhea. (Ex: Ashe, Lysithea, Claude, Petra) I guess as someone who’s an immigrant I related to some of the stuff he went through in terms of suddenly being in another country plus the shit Hilda said to him in their C support. I think it was more on the writers than Cyril himself because they have a good plot line for him that correlates to Claude. His situation his extremely screwed up from being a child soldier, to being a slave, and feeling you’re indebted to someone who doesn’t nearly care for you as much all up to the age of 14.
Cyril is really good, and I think he is the most interesting in Golden Deer and through his supports with those characters (especially Lysithea). The fact that he's an Almyran comes up way more there and Claude will even kind of jokingly champion him for his cause of unity and it works surprisingly well. He has a bit more to his personality than most give him credit for and I think just because he appears as a simpler character doesnt mean he's a bad one. He honestly is one of my favorites because of what I stumbled upon on accident with him, Claude, Lysithea, and just the subtleties in his character. Him still wanting to be a wyvern rider because that was a tradition back home was really touching and it shows that he still has that link to his culture/homeland despite the fact that he resents them for being orphaned. I believe while he appears one note because of his blind gratitude to Rhea, he's got a lot more to him than a lot of the other "I love Rhea" characters
Also I don't think I've ever seen anyone question the fact that Rhea never taught him how to read or write, so he's pretty much a slave but he doesn't see it like that

Everyone loves to hate on Ingrid for being slightly racist due to childhood trauma but then just conveniently forgets about Hilda "Almyrans are lazy savages" Goneril
Man. I missed that conversation at some point. People in the comments keep pointing out that Hilda is also racist. I remember Hilda being a lazy girl that cons people into doing things for her by taking advantage of the fact most people think she's ditzy and kinda hot and plays those aspects of herself up.
I just finished my playthrough and I really liked Ingrid. She grows as a person and sees the faults in her bigoted ways of thinking.
Like irl, it’s pretty easy to miss the fact Hilda’s covertly/subconsciously racist. Growing up right next to the border in a family praised for keeping invading Almyrans out, she was bound to absorb some negative stereotypes. And I only realized this in Hilda x Cyril’s support conversation, it’s one of my most favorites but also underrated in the game
Advocating the genocide of an entire nation is not “slightly racist”. Ingrid is actively racist while Hilda is subconsciously racist. That’s why people overlook it.
People really need to learn the difference between 'racism' and 'nationalism'. She hates a nations people for what she perceives them to have done, not for their very existence.
Petra is S tier in my heart forever.
