So after like 150ish hours I'm done with all the routes. Even though I started with Blue Lions->Golden Deer->Church->Black Eagles I have to admit that I like Edelgars route the best, which surprises me even now since I had three routes beforehand where she was the antagonist. While I do dislike that her route is the shortest, doesn't touch the lore of the Black Knight in the slightest and the fight with the slithers happening off screen, Edelgard and Hubert just turn it around so hard. I kinda understand why there is so much El*Byleth fanart, they are just such a good pair and you just can't help yourself loving Edelgard who is on one side a total badass while being the same girl who couldn't sleep a night because she was agonizing whether or not the "black eagle strike force corps" is cool enough for a name .One afterthought that kinda leaves me salty is the fact that, when you find a drawing of the main character in Edelgards room it is always the male version depicted which was really awkward when your female Byleth has to pretend that she was kinda forgotten :-(
Also after playing both sides of the Black eagle house:
-Dislike..I don't like how hard it is to earn money, and I don't like that the school exploration sections are the same through the month, so if you finish everything on the first weekend there isn't much left to do the rest of the month. I also don't like that dancer is limited to one character. I didn't research ahead of time to avoid spoilers and put it on a character who left after a big story point.
-Besides Edie, I really like Bernie. She's adorable, has a gut-punching backstory, and is consistently MVP with her bow. Mercedes is great too, but I haven't gotten deep into her supports yet.
-Favorite supports..probably Dorothea and Petra, and some of Bernie's supports with various characters as she came out of her shell.
I can't agree more Bernie or even all the Black Eagles students just grow closely to your heart with Bernie taking the top and Caspar the bottom. Also the voices are astonishingly good, it's been a while since I loved the voice acting in a game so much, they just fit perfectly and carry so much emotion. I think if they just has delayed the game long enough they couldve made school explorations even better aswell as tackling the economy issue, either having too much money or just barely scrapping by.
