@fortayee @Isaac4Smash6 @Rokers66 to be fair she has less practice than all the other nabateans thanks to all that sleeping lol

[the Lex-end of Podcast @the_lexplays]

@fortayee i sometimes forget byleth isn't a canon peg knight bc i always play f!byleth and almost always end up there, even when it's not my plan 😂

[the Lex-end of Podcast @the_lexplays]

@fortayee awesome. I recommend f!byleth for CF, I think the final cutscenes hit harder that way, but I do have bias there 😂

[the Lex-end of Podcast @the_lexplays]

@fortayee that's why flayn's so nonchalant about byleth sleeping for 5 years in silver snow. she's like "yeah that's what happens when you get hurt, magic coma", no follow up questions

[the Lex-end of Podcast @the_lexplays]

@fortayee she spent most of the last thousand years in a magic healing coma after sustaining injuries in the war (and iirc draining herself magically from healing people too much, so recovery took a really long time), so she's actually closer to the age bc she was asleep most of her life

[the Lex-end of Podcast @the_lexplays]

@fortayee okay but hopes also validated all my analysis of edelgard so it's important as an entry in the "lex is always right" canon

[the Lex-end of Podcast @the_lexplays]

@fortayee also am i missing something saying it's p2 inspired or is this person just extrapolating from the urban legends thing

[the Lex-end of Podcast @the_lexplays]

Lex is a giant nerd, fork found in kitchen, etc. This was a fun one.

Sixteen possible party members. Absolute power is ours. Surely this is the most party customization we'll ever get in this series, right? Right?

✨NEW EPISODE✨

Two roads diverged in a trippy dungeon, and I could definitely travel both because I had enough characters for two parties. Skill issue.

That's right, it's chapter 3 of Trails in the Sky the 3rd!

@fortayee what game do you have in mind?

[The Legend of Podcast: Trails through Trails @trailspod]

✨NEW EPISODE✨

It's Chapter 2 of Trails in the Sky the 3rd, which means we FINALLY get to talk about the Salt Pale. (and a bunch of other stuff happens too!)

@fortayee honestly I think people should do this kind of thing more. explain what you mean obviously for people who aren't familiar but like, we need to stop de-intellectualizing our critical discussions

[the Lex-end of Podcast @the_lexplays]

@seventhform_ and I think the fact that you have to wait so long to check in with Rean and Kevin again can make Act 1 feel longer than it is. I imagine for a lot of people Act 1 would be more enjoyable on a replay, when the anticipation of seeing the other groups again isn't as pressing

[the Lex-end of Podcast @the_lexplays]

@seventhform_ And it stands out because the Rean and Kevin chapters are so much snappier in that regards, so I think Van's chapters end up feeling longer than they actually are. My podcast cohost called it "eating my Vangetables". There's great stuff in there, but the pacing feels uneven imo

[the Lex-end of Podcast @the_lexplays]

@seventhform_ I think the friction a lot of people have in Act I is that you have access to so many districts in Edith right from the start, which mean it takes a really long time to do your rounds in Van's chapters if you're checking in with every NPC. It can make the pacing feel longer.

[the Lex-end of Podcast @the_lexplays]

@fortayee all these takes are so funny to me, someone with over 850 hours in this game. tell me more about how unreplayable it is
