(Spoilers) How it Feels Playing the Golden Deer Route (Fire Emblem: Three Houses) | Animated Parody 

That’s my intention, but the video won’t be out for a while because of college and shit

@@MisteRRYouTuby It's Golden Deer, but worse lol

Working on that route, now. I'm not prepared to betray Edelgard... :'(

RFIR 199 What is the Silver Snow Route?

@@fantasygaming8718 It's the church route. You choose to side with Rhea instead of Edelgard, and in the end, you end up with a worse Fodland than before.

And she has a learning goal for the same class as Jeralt, add the fact that her cannon post-timeskip class is Paladin just like Jeralt. This girl needs more help than Dimitri and Edelgard.

Supports with Byleth: on level with Fates Obsessed with Jeralt Supports with other characters: pretty damn good Good unit overall Really good post time skip design

The good always comes with the bad, especially for Leonie

She is so much better in her supports with other students than with you as the player!

So was I the only one that wanted to smack her when she kept insulting me? Especially after Jeralt died?

So you're saying that she wasn't there already?

She was at lazy tier you didn't know it because she was to lazy to assume that tier

*Leonie laying on the ground with a concussion* "and that's when she learned not to scream at a mercenary after they lose their father about not appreciating their father"

Leonine was one of the strongest units in my party. But holy shit do I dislike her as a person

@@DragoonIceX Making her my early game Pegasus knight was one of the best decisions on my current Golden Deer playthrough. She's a monster with like 40 strength and speed at level 38. But damn, her personality doesn't fit well with the rest of the house. She almost needs a complete character rewrite. Which is a shame because her paralogue with Linhardt (about the struggle for commoners in the alliance) is actually really great development wise and it's a side of her that I did like. Why couldn't they just focus on that aspect instead since it brings up problems that are legitimate with the nobility taking advantage of the common people.

When I started my first playthrough with GD, I planned to go for her S Rank. Around the time of the B support, I decided that, actually, she's really Felix's type.

@@l.n.3372 You still get that good aspect to her with other supports such as Lorenz's support with her. It's only really Byleth's supports that iirc me in terms of characterisation.

Am I the only one who turned her into a fortress knight?

@@zhangliangma2516 I turned her into a wyvern rider

Anonymous Name same.

I can see how one dude can defend that one choke point.

Anonymous Name by the time I did that, it was the final battle already

Yeah, Claude stays alive in the blue lion's route! :P

The most terrible thing is the fact they make us believe he's dead, then revive him, only to kill him like 10 minutes later.

Well, if the battle of Nemesis didn't exist, we could have perfectly added a map where Dimitri asks for help to the Kingdom to kill Cornelia. But...still, I remember Dimitri mentioning subtly that if it wasn't for Byleth, he would have died in vain for revenge...and that's how it went in GD.

Yeah that was really weird, they could've at least showed it

@@kellyjohana516 That still doesn't make sense. In the blue lion route, Dimitri still doesn't listen to Byleth and is still in his "Kill every last one of them" mode at this point of the story and the only thing that prevents him to die is Dedue telling him that he should retreat, not Byleth. Dedue is by his side in the golden deer route so there is no reason at all that he would suddenly die in this route where every condition for his survival is there. HUGE SPOILER FOR BLUE LION ROUTE BELOW : Also, what really allowed him to change was Felix's father sacrificing himself for him so Byleth really doesn't make a huge difference. END OF SPOILER So I really think it's bad writing.

"The route"

“Wow, I can get thyrsus with even LESS effort now!”

Imagine u recruit Lysithea, it makes the game sooooo easy *struggles in NG+ Maddening cause I didnt get her*

That fustrated me so much

@@Motoko_AHTR I was so mad. If I'd known I would've gone with Felix.

To be fair, he comes back. He also waited for Byleth for 5 years, so... wait. Holy crap! That’s just... wow.

@@n0dash18 I mean, all of them wait for you so it doesn't really seem like that big of a deal. Getting with Dimitri was far more satisfying and had much more build up over the game anyway.

sj4iy In that case, wouldn’t it also not be that big of a deal to wait for Claude for a little bit? He has king stuff he needs to do. Fix Almyra, kill racism, etc. Also, while the game itself practically ships Byleth and Dimitri, that doesn’t mean that it needs to ship Byleth and Claude. That’s why you can S-Support practically anyone in the game. This game encourages you to bang your favorite character after four meaningful and adorable conversations! And that character isn’t always a Lord. Sometimes it’s a tsundere, a girl with crippling depression, Harry Potter with lime-colored hair, or Bernie!

Yea and when i played a different route.. I just realized how happy i was when he called me teach all the time

Claude just wants you to enjoy your year time. I couldn't believe how different things were in the other routes, I kept on laughing on my first route, things got sad and/or serious on the other ones.

@@missquark_ that's so true lol, and i thought death knight was a weak ass cos i always use Lysithea to beat him up, and after i go to blue lion route i was like.. why is death knight so op

Golden deer are just that chill! Fear the deer!!

Cure Ruby my entire squad was useless against Nemesis I had been relying on Petra crits for a while and bam uselss

Also SUDDEN TECHNO MUSIC!

And then it was business as usual...strangely enough.

Only hilda byleth and felix where able to do a little damage to nemesis Bruh he broken

@@sprongtrop5691 did you grind out levels for your characters in the battle sections that's what I did in the black eagles guy was level 55 at the end of it all

And you go to an underground hi tech city with dubstep and lizard Nazis

Leonie with horse Slayer was always my go to lol.

what does lysithea have against donkey kong?

Not Donkey Kong, Death Knight.

Death Kong and Donkey Knight

@@mystery8820 Whoooosh

*by this kid. Come on. Lysithia handles him like he's an unwanted stepchild

@@noctusvolpes my lysethia didnt have darkspikes for the first encounter, everyone spammed gambits and very lucky horse lance moves

Yeah, my first encounter with Death Knight was on my Black Eagles playthrough. When I finally got Lysithia I was like, "Oh! Oh. Ooooohh"

@@noctusvolpes too soon...

@@Bonezee That's so ironic since Hilda (despite her personality) kills literally everything she's thrown at

Says the woman who nukes things as well as Lysithia nukes Mercedes' brother.

Poor donkey kong

I choked lmao I mean I think when she's defeated her line is something or other about letting Jeralt down from what I remember and I was always like "Yup. You did, you're a failure human."

Agreed, put the Shambala theme when Thales appeared and it's perfect.

@@MisteRRYouTuby All houses are good. Can't say about all routes.

Well clearly there is only one right option *wink*

You're right. HAIL EDELGARD!

BOW BEFORE HER MAJESTY

Leonie: So... you have chosen death. Byleth: no u

fighting Leonie in Crimson flower be like

Just got to that moment and I felt like missing her head with the sword of the creator by a few inches for that one comment.

The B support simply should’ve been available before Jerult’s death

@@idreadFell365 Wrong, should be ONLY available before Jeralt death.

Lila Poole I was laughing the whole time bc she’s saying she’ll be better than me even after getting god powers and the sword of the creator

On my Blue Lions and Black Eagals playthroughs i killed Leonie every time, never even bothered to save her

@@acet1920 I know I was making sure to make fun of her with those ridiculous statements

@@sontia1 I made her a healing so she's at the back and rarely ever fights so I don't have to hear her voice as much

@@StarShiningSirius I liked Leonie but dear God she would not stop talking about Jeralt as if she was a kpop stan.

Same XD Poor edgy boy (And poor Dedue, he's just a sweetheart, he didn't deserve is lord to die)

That expression was priceless 🤣

What did you expect? Writting supports between a character and a wall is really hard.

*FE7 lords have entered the chat*

Same with Lys. Her support with Ignatz is AWFUL

What most people don’t realize is that her for the most, there are more scenes where she doesn’t mention Jeralt than there are where she does.

@@idreadFell365 impossible, perhaps the archives are incomplete

Nope

I'm in Chapter 21 of Blue Lions. Nothing still. There wasn't even Jabelins of Light when I invaded Fort Merceus. Everything that is lore in this route seems to be only related to the Tragedy of Duscur.

Only Silver Snow/Church, and even then you don’t fight Nemesis that route for some reason.

Stop shoving your opinions, bud

A lot of the golden deers problems stem from lorenz's family (Raphael, ignatz and Leonie)

That's his father, not him. He shouldn't have to deal with the sins of his father.

@@jordanrussell1257 Lorenz' father is just as bastard as Ferninand's. But Ferninand's father got what he deserved and Lorenz' father is very prudent.

Kelly Johana To be fair, Sir Gloucester just simply treat anyone who isnt part of the Gloucester family like shit

@@nomblob5592 Well, the death of Raphael's parents was his fault because he allowed the Empire to perform some suspicious actions there. However, I'll rather see that as an intent for him to not angry them. We knew what the Empire did to House Ordelia after they helped another house in a conflict with the Empire and the others in the Alliance did nothing to help them when the Agarthans did their thing. Sir Gloucester must have felt this will turn out like that.

Same with Seteth's support. I suppose Byleth was supposed to be kind of amnesiac or he doesn't hold any memories. He could also have no feelings for Jeralt before the monastery and the word father is meaningless on his stone heart.

Kelly Johana Kinda weird though since the prologue implies Byleth at least has some ounce of trust in him as a fatherly figure (such as explaining his problems.) Just that he was very to himself most of the time in the mercenaries and never clicked with them for whatever reason (probably because most of them may have been older, versus the monastery where your work is trying to educate others primarily, with the selection being people younger or around your age. Much better company for a growing young mind than a group of mostly adults drinking booze sharing tales and picking up wenches.)

always good to see someone give their respect to M Bison.

Story wise she is grating, gameplay wise she is pretty op

Yeah, like the other paths basically dance around every chance to explain shit to me only for one big info dump at the end of Golden Deer.

I know, right. It bothered me that only the Golden Deer route felt like the true ending of the game, while Blue Lion and Black Eagle's endings felt kind of lacking. I mean, Claude is cool, but Dimitri and Edelgard deserved better :/

I thought Blue Lions felt most like a real ending tbh. I felt both Blyeth and Dimitri are the main characters of the whole game tbh.

BL - Character Drama GD - Lore and friendship BE - Ideals coming reality aka What id the most Sympathetic but heavily Flawed Bad Guy Wins Church - Alabama 101 Or BL - Persona 3 /Law GD - P4/Neutral BE - P5/Chaos Silver Snow - Neutral but painted white and green.

I can understand that not everything can be explained in every route but some key elements should be. For example in BL Route you know basically nothing about Byleth but his character should be explained in every route He is the main Protagonist

My only peeve with GD route is that it felt like the rest of the world had just kind of brushed off the Alliance/Deers. Empire considered the Kingdom their rival, didn't even really bother with the Alliance. Dimitri's forces tried attacking us **while** we were trying to take down the empire, and only Dedue had a shred of sanity left. Rhea hangs on to her secrets until the very, very last moment, despite the fact we saved her. Nemesis seemed to show up out of nowhere, tries to end the church, gets the same treatment the Empire did. It really felt like so much pain could have been avoided if everyone had bothered to talk to us. Claude was totally on board with both bringing down the church AND the ones who Slither in the Dark - Empire+Deer might have made a great team, had Edie just talked to them.

@@BlueShellshock You're right: A LOT of problems could have been avoided if people (namely Edelgard and Claude, since their beliefs are so deeply aligned) actually talked; maybe the war with the ⛪ wouldn't have happened.

it honestly feels wasteful. edelgard and Claude had similar goals, and Claude was too inquisitive to let rhea hide her secrets. more could have been done with that. But hey, at least gd had some of the best characters (except for Leonie and Lorenz)

@@kosmic100 With you on the campaign, although I'd replace Leoni with Hilda. I dumped Hilda and Lorentz together, cause I felt they deserved each other, and Lorentz's shtick of offering assistance to show his nobility and demanding respect matched perfectly with Hilda trying to pass off all work by doing a teehee-thank-you. But Leoni, while it could have been timed and written better, brings something to the supports that is sorely lacking: Not gushing over how awesome Byleth is.

Leonie kinda deserve a smack on this one

@@johnclopez96 It's symbolism XD Seriously though, it's just bad timing.

I love Leonie

And the best part of the Game too

I didn't recruit anyone but I safe them all thanks to the Power of warp and strike.
