Since Byleth is basically the reincarnation of Sothis, I bet the non canon story of Three Houses is basically Byleth reincarnating himself every time we start a new play through
Most don't know that Mercedes knows that if she were to keep that Mom ponytail and have a child she would either die by a random Titan or get sacrificed by her own children for an alchemic reason.
It is the cursed mom haircut. Good thing she got rid of it before anything bad happened to her. At least... unless you killed her off pre-timeskip for some reason.
I'd argue it's more like a college. I mean, most of the students there are 16-17. You can start college as early as 16 and 17, you are not bound to age when attending college either, you can be 50 and still be going to college, though I'm sure you know that.
Mercedes probably has lower blood pressure than Byleth...Who lacks a beating heart...She’s so calm if she were to calm down anymore, I’m sure she’d turn into a marshmellow. Keep calm, and just keep calm...

Ended up having her and Felix marry. I thought it was a funny pairing. They’re supposedly happy together and every now and again leave a flower on the death knight’s unmarked grave.
Bolt 3887 get their supports with each other to a rank and their prologue cards should show them as a pair. For me Dimitri became king and married Annette, Felix married Mercedes, and Manuela married Hanneman. All my favorite couples were realized, now I’m doing it again, but this time I recruited the entire year except Claude, Edelgard and Hubert, but they ain’t possible in the Blue Lions route.
@@djmack6474 Yes. Some are gender-locked (for instance, Dimitri can only marry a female Byleth), while some are available to Byleth regardless of gender (Edelgard, Rhea, Dorothea, Linhardt, and one other person I don't want to spoil). Certain characters can also marry each other during the ending as well. For instance, the marriages I had at the end of my BE run were: Edelgard & Byleth, Hubert & Petra, Ferdinand & Bernadetta, and Linhardt & Dorothea.
I was absolutely shocked when she survived my first playthrough of this game, because anime has me trained to believe that anyone with that haircut is doomed to die young.
Monochrome Dream-Eating Baku Grima from the other FE after the Church/Edelgard route: Hm.. Byleth would be a fine bearer of my strength and will.. quite indeed, just needs bit more power to be consumed by it. P.S hope i dont get filleted alive by Fire Emblem fans due to my joke.
you can recruit her as a black eagle and still marry her, actually in my second playthough the only students I killed were duedue and dimitri, the rest I recruited, circuled around hilda and spared claude.
@@omarreyes7626 I'm actually curious... Does the marriage convo with her change in BE? She says she wants to go to Fhirdiad to meet her dad, but... That might not exactly be possible in Crimson Flower...

My brother has been playing this game and I've been watching videos on the game to have something to talk about with him. Now that I've watched the support conversations, all I can say is that he better S-support Mercedes, Marianne, or Bernadetta.
She sounds like Miyuki from Lucky Star! Correction: Her English VA is Dorothy Fahn, who voiced Matsuri in Lucky Star, Valentine Villefort in Gankutsou (Count of Monte Cristo), Hakuei Ren in Magi, and another character from Fire Emblem, best girl, Rinea!

@@DisemboweII They focused more on the BG than the actual character art. Plus the fact the artist or artsyle changed from previous games. Compare the character art to Awakening's art. There is a point when too much detail makes it look worse.
Honestly, I feel like she’s been split in two in this game. On top of sporting a very similar hairstyle to her pre-timeskip, Mercie is basically more of her kind side, and Marianne is more of her shy side. She even sorta talks to animals if you see her supports. Anyways, glad I’m not the only one who thought this. :v
I kind of wish she wasn't wearing a bishop veil at S-Rank. It hides her beautiful hair which at the same time she cut it down which kind of sucks that they butchered her design. Now I can't decide between her and Annette.
well her pre Time skip shows her to Have the Hairstyle of Death so I guess it was removed after Timeskip to avoid her early death if ever it will happen :P
She is older than Byleth. If you don't count *SPOILER* Flayn then she's the oldest student in the academy (not counting Balthus either since he belongs to the unofficial Ashen Wolves house).
I don't understand. Why do I so love pure good bois but have such an aggressive disinterest in pure good girls? I look at Raphael and I say "how can you not love this guy" but then I look at Mercedes and I say "god what does anyone see in this character?" And she's the *only* one in the game like that. I mean there are other characters that I don't like (Cyril) but they've all got something actively abrasive about them. I came to re-watch these in hopes of an answer. I found no answer.
I don’t wanna be too social justicey but it might be because that pure, gentle, almost motherly/fatherly personality is common or even expected in women, but it’s kinda rare to see that in men.
