FE3H Black Eagles Unique Dialogues - Fire Emblem Three Houses 

>Annette vs Mercedes please dont ever do that again.

Ingrid: “Sylvain. This isn’t funny. What are you doing?” Sylvain: “I’m sorry Ingrid but the professor is really hot.”

Every Blue Lions character "You were my brother Felix I loved you." Felix - executes order 66.

Marianne: please I don’t want to kill you Hilda: lmao it’s ok lol

YOU DID NOT JUST USE BOTH FELIX AND INGRID TO KILL SYLVAIN. BRUHHH IMAGINE GETTING KILLED BY YOUR ONLY 2 CHILDHOOD FRIENDS

Look lets make one thing clear: *If you recruit Mercie, you recruit Annette and vice versa. no if ands or buts*

Professor, why? Don't you see the cruelty in this? *NO HESITATION!*

Anytime a house leader says you should have picked me instead of this person Byleth: we picked from straws

Shamir and Alois’s convo is a lot kinder than I expected. They truly respected each other. It fits Alois (and Shamir) so well tho.

Ashe getting angry at Felix. Poor boy was at his limits

I love when Flayn slips her act after Seteth dies. Broke my heart.

I dunno why but Mercie and Ashes lines hit me the hardest

Ingrid: *kills Sylvain* Ingrid: The situation is dire

The fact that Felix didn't even bother replying to Ashe in their dialogue makes it a 100 times more depressing for me

"Sylvain, this isn't funny! What are you doing?!" Getting absolutely destroyed by you apparently

Everyone says that Felix joining the Empire doesn't make sense, and I agree that the way they wrote his interactions with his former companions in these battles makes it look that way, but I think it DOES make sense if you think about his history, and also what he would have witnessed having joined the Black Eagle House while at the academy. *SPOILERS* below for those who don't know Felix's backstory yet. Felix's brother, Glenn, died during the Tragedy of Duscur attempting to protect Dimitri. Felix's father, Rodrigue, hails Glenn's sacrifice as a noble, just, and therefore good (albeit regrettable and tragic) thing. Felix has been bitter about this ever since it happened, particularly since he saw Dimitri go absolutely berserk and therefore considers Dimitri to be something of a monster (hence the derisive nickname, Boar Prince). Ever since then, Felix has been absolutely jaded about the concepts of knighthood and blind loyalty. He wants to be stronger since he genuinely enjoys swordplay, and also because he wants to (in his mind) overcome Glenn, who was his rival, but even at the academy he is decidedly NOT training simply to be Dimitri's knight. He's not interested in that. With that being the case, Felix is an easy recruit to Black Eagles during the academy days because he values sword strength (which Byleth has), and because, let's be honest, the Black Eagles is overall a strong house. Edelgard is a tank on her own, Bernadetta destroys everything as a sniper (and in Felix's supports with her, has a "technique" he's curious about to disarm opponents), Linhardt is noted as a genius despite being lazy, Caspar is SUPER enthusiastic about training, and so on and so forth. Since Sylvain joins immediately if fem!Byleth is chosen, Sylvain signing up with Black Eagles could be another motivation for Felix since Sylvain IS his best friend (and they made a promise to die together ffs). It's not necessary for him to sign up, ofc, but it's not hard to see why Felix -- thinking academy days are just academy days -- could switch over to Black Eagles, thinking he'd get more out of that House than a House with a mage as a professor. Then the Holy Tomb happens. Felix sees Rhea call for the deaths of Edelgard and Byleth without anything resembling a trial, sees her transform into the Immaculate One and try to murder all of them, and therefore sees with his own eyes that EVERYTHING Edelgard has been saying about Rhea and the Church is *true*. Doesn't mean he's totally happy with the Flame Emperor business, but it does mean that he can see that what Edelgard was saying had merit. The fact that Edelgard also wants to *destroy the system of the nobility* AND gives everyone the option *multiple times* to peace out and not join the Black Eagle Strike Force AND therefore also doesn't believe that knight = laying down your life for your liege lord no matter what also probably further convinced him that this was where he wanted to be. But the final straw probably came when Rhea fled to Faerghus and Dimitri decided to support her No Matter What (and the same goes for Rodrigue et al). Edelgard sent out information about how Rhea is terrible, information that Felix KNOWS is true, but neither Dimitri nor Rodrigue nor anyone else on Faerghus' side will hear it, because they have staunch loyalty to the Church of Seiros given that the Church of Seiros helped Faerghus be established. Regardless of what the Church does, Faerghus sides with them. It's the *same blind loyalty* that Glenn had toward Dimitri, that Rodrigue championed, that Rodrigue wanted Felix to have (and Dimitri, Rodrigue, and Ingrid all bring this up when Felix confronts them). It's the same loyalty that Felix has hated ever since Glenn's death. Does NOT mean that he is HAPPY to fight against them, BUT it makes sense that he WOULD, even if the fact that things ended up the way they did still eats him alive after the fact. (Because that's the thing about, you know, being a person; sometimes there are hard situations where there are no easy or clean answers out of it.) So imo, Felix being on the Empire's side during the war if he joined the Black Eagles while at school makes sense. It also makes sense that he's not entirely comfortable with it, particularly with regards to Ingrid and Sylvain (if neither joined Black Eagles as well). That's what makes the writing in this game so good: the characters are complex and three-dimensional, rather than just being tropes, and the story clearly had a lot of thought put into it.

*Slyvain reminding Felix about their promise to die together on opposite sides of the battlefield* Me: NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. THIS IS EVIL. NO. DO NOT PIT THESE TWO BEAUTIFUL BOYS AGAINST EACH OTHER. EVER. NOOOO.

You know what, I'm gonna recruit everyone so none of this happens

"Why!?" "I...I just believe in the professor!" Lol nobody cares about Edelgard

I can’t believe you missed the most important dialogue! Lorenz absolutely roasts Acheron on the bridge map

As much as I love the Black Eagles....the Blue Lions definitely have the best within house interactions. They were such a tighter knit group from the beginning that it is so much harder to see them fight each other.

Flayn: professor, why!? Do you not see the cruelty of this!? Professor: NO HESITATION!!! (Kills Flayn) Blythe is savage.

Now I am thoroughly depressed Annie and Mercie, as well as Hilda and Marianne were the saddest for me

The fact Mariannes crit quote is "I'm sorry." Really hits where it hurts.

Here’s how all of these go: Option A: -“Fuck you!” -“No, fuck you!” Option B: -“There’s another option, I don’t have to kill you-“ -“ *Do it.* “ Shamir and Alois: (Casually talking to each other like it’s just another day and they’re not about to murder each other)

Kinda disapponted theres no dialog for Shamir and Cyril.

Death Knight : I don't take orders from you ... Hubert : Omae wa mou shindeiru-

The fact that you have to fight your former students and friends makes the war arc so much more powerful than most game's war stories. It's also true to life because in war people die and there's no plot shield to hide behind. Anyone can die at pretty much any time. The only problem is you really only get to know characters once you recruit them so on your first run it's much less meaningful when you kill a character and on your second run and later I have found it easy to recruit everyone. Maybe I'll do a BE run where I don't recruit anyone...

When I played the Crimson Flower Route I made a point to try and spare as many as the students as possible. It was lowkey kinda heartbreaking when I got to a map when the condition was to kill ALL enemy commanders. I decided that If I was gonna have to kill my old students than it would have to be me because I couldn't let any of the kids kill each other :(

Never do Annette vs Mercedes again that shit had me crying

I love all of it, but you missed Flayns death in front of Seteth, it's so impactful 😭

Literally nobody: Byleth: *HERE IS SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN*

Felix always looks regretful and sad in other routes :(

Ashe: what else is there for you to take!? me: your life, apparently

You missed the one where if you kill Flayn instead of Seteth. It's honestly soul crushing to hear him so distraught over losing her.

1:34 "Felix, why?!" "I don't know! Even the writers couldn't justify this."

Marianne didn't take the UNO thing too well.. Edit: Holy Crap, 100 likes?!

Interesting, Sylvain has a different line of the professor is a guy. “Let’s celebrate with your death.”

I really don't know whats more worrying annette being fine killing her father or gilbert being fine killing his daughter like really they don't even hesitate

Everyone saying that Mercie and Annette, Hilda and Marianne are the most sad dialogues but what about Raphael and Ignatz? That shit really hit me :(

Snippet for other houses students' choice in siding with Edelgard if they're recruited. Blue Lions Felix -- Put off with the hollow sense of nobility that his dad and Dimitri follows. Sylvain -- Despite his fear, he promised to work with Byleth and he won't go back on that. Mercedes -- Puts her faith in the Goddess and that their maybe something wrong with the Church. Ingrid -- Figures that her decision could possibly help her family and their financial problems, in the future, if the Empire wins. Annette -- Believes that there is a chance something is indeed wrong with the Church and something needs to be done. Ashe -- He refuses to trust in the Church after what happened with Lonato and his brother and he wants to know what really happened. Golden Deer Leonie -- Mentioned that Jeralt was suspicious of Rhea and decided to stick with Byleth because she promised that to Jeralt. Lysithea -- If there is a connection between the system of Crests and the Church, then she agrees with seeing both of them fall. Lorenz -- His family was always in good terms with the Empire. So, this works for both sides. Marianne -- Idolizes Edelgard's ability to go against the world for her belief and wonders if she can gain that confidence for herself. Raphael -- If his sis is safe, that's fine with him. He also points out that it is not mandatory that he sides with the Alliance just because he lived there. Ignatz -- Put his faith in Byleth and refuses to run away from fighting.

4:47 homeboy got one shot by a frickin training sword

If you kill Dimitri before Sylvain , Sylvain will say something

10:26 “Do you not see the cruelty of this?” “NO!”

Am I the only one who gets annoyed that Sylvain and Ingrid only justify their actions by saying they’re fighting for the professor? Like, they’re in the long list of victims of the system that Edelgard is trying to destroy, they should have brought that up.

The male protagonist has a different dialogue with Slyvain

Catherine:I trusted you. Lady Rhea trusted you Me:well there's the problem I don't

-Sylvain, Marianne and Lysithea have fairly solid reasons to fight to destroy crests. -Ashe has good reason since he lost his father bc of the church. So does Annette. -Alois and Leonie's loyalty was always with Jeralt so I mean.. I guess that's a reason -Lorenz could go either way given his family benefits with siding with the empire I think??? -Mercie, Ingrid, Felix, Ignatz, Raphael and Manuela* make very little sense to me. What are they doing there. Liking Byleth shouldn't be enough to leave their homes. -Hanneman is suuper confusing since he literally abandoned his old life to study crests, but his supports with Edelgard sort of explain why he's there so ok I suppose. -Shamir is a mercenary and is on her own side so she can do whatever she wants. *Edit: lmao I completely forgot Manuela is from the empire in the first place. My bad. Y'all make a pretty good point about about Mercie too

It's interesting that Sylvain and Byleth share a death quote. Killing enemy Sylvain here has him saying "So this is how it ends," and that's the same line as when Byleth is killed.

Flayn: Do you not see the cruelty in this?! Byleth: No hesitation!

Ingrid: Sylvain I dont care how hot you think Edelgard or The Professor are, this isnt funny. Sylvain: this is nothing like that, the crest system has made my life miserable up to now. I honestly believe in Edelgard's ideals

i’m 100% sure that the worst thing you can do is putting mercedes vs annette and sylvain vs felix up against each other. it’s just heartbreaking to watch them fight and eventually kill their best friend. if you’re gonna recruit one you have to recruit them both

im not crying youre crying

It’s cool to see a side a Felix where he struggles to kill the people he cares about and then there’s his father

Ashe: “What else is there for you to take?” Felix: *Your life*

I'm glad Shamir wised up and joined the Empire before Catherine could've stabbed her in the back the same way she did to Christophe.

Felix: Leave my sight! Rodrigue: *Dies*

What bugs the hell out of me is that Alois thinks that Jeralt cared about the monastery/rhea/the church over his son/daughter.

I just finished Black Eagle route for the first time and searched up for the dialogues, because I couldn't get them all. I can't believe this was just posted 6 hours ago. Thank you for uploading this!

I have a hard time believing many of the Blue Lions would join the empire. I can't speak for Golden Deer since I don't know them as well, but here are my reasons. - Ingrid's whole thing is her loyalty to her kingdom, and her chivalry. To betray her family, her childhood friend(s), her king and kingdom.. huh. And she has never really blamed Crests for her situation, just her family's poor financial situation. Let's be real, even if she didn't have a crest, she'd get married off anyways as a noble lady with many brothers... Also in GD route, after Dimitri's death some of her monastery dialogue expresses her possible regrets and feelings that she should've been by his side. - Sylvain's hatred for the crest system is a valid point. However, in his paralogue he also mentions how he believes that the ruined kingdom will be fixed when Dimitri gets on the throne. As well, a key part of Sylvain's character is his inability to trust people and form deep relationships. To me, his loyalty is less to his kingdom - but more to his allies and friends, the few people he learned to love and trust. If Ingrid & Felix don't also turn, I am a firm believer that he would never leave them. And I'm already explaining why I don't think Ingrid & Felix would turn.. - Felix is one that many people say would join because of his "hatred for Dimitri". However, on every route besides BL, he's pretty regretful and sad to kill his friends. And in GD, literally all but 2 of his monastery dialogues are about dimitri, wondering if hes still alive, wondering if he couldve saved him, wanting him to rest in peace. he's also the only character who has variations of all his endings depending on if its azure moon or not. For Sylvain, people argue because of his hatred for crests, but Felix's main conflict & ideals have never been about crests, the church, or nobility. Pretty much his only reason for joining the empire is "i wont serve the boar".... if he were to leave dimitri, i'd be able to believe he'd join golden deer as a neutral party, but not directly against the kingdom - Mercedes. I get when she joins CF, the argument is "she believes in the goddess' teachings but doesnt believe the church is right!!!" BS. Mercie loves the church, and they have been caring for her since she was kicked out of her family in the Empire. Yes, that was because of her Crest - but she has never expressed hatred over it, and even if she did, she would never blame or turn against the church for the crest system. - Annette: people make the argument that "the church/kingdom stole her father from her" and that's why she'd join the kingdom. Sorry, but to me that doesn't feel like a good reason. Having a deadbeat dad doesn't mean youre going to join war against his kingdom... and it's been shown that Annette does love her father despite him abandoning her. she doesn't really have as strong of a reason to stay loyal to the kingdom (unless to reconcile with her father), but i dont see her joining the empire either. maybe golden deer. - Ashe is someone people say could join because of what the Church did to his brother. But if you read his supports with Catherine and Gilbert, it shows you enough that he doesn't completely blame them. His brother WAS involved with the plot to assassinate Rhea, and Lonato was blinded by vengeance instead of thinking about his son that was still alive. As well, even if it's just a simple C-B support chain with Dimitri... let's just say Ashe seems to like and respect him. Let's not forget, his sense of chivalry and want to be a knight serving his king almost rivals Ingrid's. A core part of his character is how he wants to follow Lonato's teachings, and it's clear that Lonato (though he rebelled against the church), was loyal to the Kingdom and the goddess. This is really long since I just started rambling, but these are my thoughts on why I don't believe the Blue Lions would join the empire and abandon Dimitri/the Kingdom. I could believe that they might join Golden Deer though.

5:04 That exchange between Mercedes and Annette is truly heartbreaking...

Missing: everything involving Lysithea, Edelgard, and Seiros... which is actually a lot. Note: I appreciate you going out of your way to do this for us though.

5:55 this is probably the most ironic line coming from this character

The moment when Seteth died and leaves Flayn behind, just destroyed me. It. Just. Destroyed. Me.

Sylvain's talk with Felix and Ingrid before he is about to die by their hands is the saddest thing in the entire game for me. And then Byleth comes along and he just deadass says that he regrets not wooing her lmao

The fight between Mercedes and Annette is the most heartbreaking.

Dedue: it is shame i thought you would come to appreciate jis majesty perspective Byleth: i dont even know dimitri perspective and why hes soo angry last time we talked was 5 years ago.

3:42 nothing like killing a childhood best friend for creating strong bonds

8:25 Whoa! You can basically move anywhere!

Black eagles route is absolute garbage anyway.

God some of these are painful to watch. I see Edelgard's perspective in all this, but I refuse to have to kill Rhea cause I cant stand killing Mae and I cant stand fighting against Claude/Dimitri

10:25 Flayn: Professor, why?! Do you not see the cruelty of this? Byleth: NO HESITATION

This is why I hated the black eagles route so much I’m glad I played GD and BL first.

We all thought the 3ds games were controversial and split the fanbase, but jfc, try saying you like Edelgard and this route in any Fire Emblem community and people will definitely come and tell you why they hate it and why you should feel bad for liking a morally questionable route in a fictional game.

god seteth and flayn’s dialogue if you kill them literally made me cry, this is why I made sure I spared them

personally i am loving this route. i recruited everyone and for some reason i really enjoy watching their turmoil about this choice. to me its just proof at how well written these characters all are ;3

Doing a BL run as my first one, but after this I can‘t do BE. It seems like too much for my poor little heart.

for me the one of Raphael and Ignatz was the most painful my dear golden deer boys

having played BL first, i felt physical pain when i had byleth kill ashe in my BE run like. i heard him say that line and i had to pause for moment bc i was so overwhelmed

0:57 you have awife and kids and your calling out jaralt . . . checks out

Flayn: You shall not pass! Gandalf: That's my line!!

Catherine: it’s been an honor locking the citizens of Firdiad who took us in when nobody else would in their homes and burning them alive

*laughs as i recruit everyone in cf route*

So apparently, and I did not know this, there is one unique interaction that can occur during the Tailtean plains where Dedue and Dimitri will die in each other's arms if Dedue is not given the opportunity to transform before he or Dimitri falls in battle. But unfortunately there are not any other interactions like this, at least not in my experience. Keeping Hilda alive through the entire Derdriu mission, keeping Cyril, Catherine, or Gilbert alive during the final mission. This is something that I recall having more of an impact in previous Fire Emblem games. Especially choosing whether or not to kill an important character after you've bested them in combat or whether to trust a character and allow them to join you. It would have been interesting to see something like this in 3H and how it could've maybe changed the events of the plot, even if subtly.

>Puts Annette against Mercedes _I never asked for this_

It lacked the real "death of Flayn" dialogue, with Seteh crying in anguish

I like it better with music. The silence kinda kills the mood

This is precisely why I hate Edelgard and why I will never do this route, it’s basically genocide of all these characters we have grown to love, It’s wrong

Wow, Ingrid seemed really mad at Sylvain

people you CANNOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES separate -Linhardt/Caspar(!!!!DO NOT SEPERATE THEM i will find you) -Mercedes/Annette -Felix/Sylvain/Ingrid -Catherine/Shamir -Hilda/Marianne they are a package deal you buy one you get the rest sorry i dont make the rules

6:27 poor girl, spends basically her whole life training to see her father, yet ends up on opposite sides of the battlefield.

Felix is getting criticism from everyone in the Kingdom.

The lack of music makes this so much more depressing

I don't foresee myself ever doing Black Eagles route, Golden Deer 4 life

I like how a handful of people question why you chose Edelgard in this route, but when you choose their routes the Imperial students never suggested anything or questioned why you didn't side with her.

ok guess im never siding with edelgard then

😢 After seeing this, I’m recruiting everyone to Golden Deer.

This is why I always choose claude, I could never kill him

Mercie's and Annette's convo ;-;
