^But, from what I've seen, there's a lot of low-key Lightning/Hope, which I ship because I'm sick and twisted and love the whole "pseudo mother/son turning to lovers" dynamic!
@Altair: I see you're a person of culture, after my own heart. I too would love a yuri version of Yojimbo/A Fist Full of Dollars, where the Eastwood/Mafune equivalent is swooning girls left and right.
Personally I think the new character designs look great. Catra being the most unique looking compared to her original and She ra more beefed up? Yes please. Although i am biased and just love girls with muscles to begin with.
I'm so upset that Catherine and Edelgard are mutually exclusive units, because it means I can't do my ideal lesbian-house playthrough. I just want to have AnniexMercie (it's gay in my head) DorotheaxPetra CatherinexShamir and BylethxEdelgard as my starting lineup.
I'm pretty sure Dorothea will actually end up with any unit she has an A-rank relationship at the end of the game. I recruited her for my Golden Deer playthrough, and she ended up with Manuela, so I wouldn't be surprised if she could end up with Ingrid
There is just one whole problem with this, Kaoruko would REFUSE to be separated from Futaba, and Futaba would worry to much about Kaoruko if they weren't in the same house. And the sorting hat does take this into consideration and all.
