Fire Emblem: Three Houses Playthrough 1 (Black Eagles): Red or Black
0I have completed two routes on Fire Emblem: Three Houses, both Blue Lions and Golden Deer, and there is one house left. It will be a New Game + playthrough, much like the Golden Deer playthrough, but this time I will be doing the Black Eagles route. The Black Eagle house is for students of the Adrestian Empire, and their leader is Edelgard, and most of the students are from a noble background, some of which are good with magic, it is time to find out what secrets this house has that no other house has.
As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description
This playthrough is also done on New Game +, much like my Golden Deer playthrough, and I did Blue Lions prior to that. To unlock New Game +, you need to have completed the game once, and it will carry over Renown, which you can earn a good amount after completing one route, and it will also carry over Professor Level and Byleth's Support levels, it will also carry over class mastery for classes that you have mastered on some units, and as I am using male Byleth in this playthrough, I can get Darting Blow, which is a class that would be learned from mastering Pegasus Knight, which only female Byleth can go into. It will even carry over skill levels from previous playthroughs, and another thing with New Game + is that you can change your unit's appearance from Academy Phase to War Phase, but it will not change the unit's portrait.
I will be cutting out parts of the prologue and show some parts before choosing the house, and a tip before beating the boss, make sure to give Byleth and the house leader some levels, at least Level 2 or 3, and as you are not using the other two leaders, have them give their weapons to Byleth and the house leader.
The house I pick for this one is the Black Eagles, which is where students of the Adrestian Empire are housed, and their leader is Edelgard. Three of the units are good with magic, and while this house does have a rough start, the units do get better later in the game if you invest in them, and there is a secret with the Black Eagle house which I will not spoil until a certain point, unless you watched my Blue Lions and Golden Deer playthrough, then you would know.
Do note that some parts of the description for this playthrough is very similar to the description for my Blue Lions and Golden Deer playthrough, and I will go over some differences. On the Black Eagles route, Edelgard is the one giving the tutorials, and units like Petra and Dorothea have different quotes, and even though Dorothea is said to be the only commoner in the Black Eagle house, Petra's starting class is commoner, but the difference is Petra is the princess of Brigid, and Dorothea does not come from a noble house. As for other houses, Sylvain and Ignatz would have different quotes depending on the house chosen, and Sylvain even has different dialogue depending on which gender of Byleth you are playing as on the Blue Lions route.
Then to go over quests, the first one is from Dedue, and this unlock the Greenhouse, and Dedue's Seeds is a meme in the Fire Emblem community. The next one is from Flayn where you have to fish for a Carassius, and when you have succeeded, talk to Flayn to complete the quest. You can check the bulletin board in many parts of Garreg Mach Monastery, the most notable one being in Byleth's room, and you can warp to the person giving you the quest.
Sylvain has a quest, and in this one, you have to share a meal at the dining hall, and as Sylvain was the one that gave us the quest, you can only pick female units, and there are some units that have special quotes if you share a meal with them, some examples are Mercedes and Annette if you pick them, Marianne and Hilda have special quotes if you select them. For the Black Eagles, if you select Edelgard and Petra, they have different quotes if you share a meal with them. This does use an Activity Point and increase Professor Level, and this is one of the best ways you can spend an Activity Point, as that will give your selected units motivation, which becomes important very soon.
At the end of the month is Ferdinand's birthday, and when it is a unit's birthday, you can spend money to give them flowers, that will boost support with that unit, but there is something better that you unlock later in the game that happens on the unit's birthday, which I won't go too much into detail about, but you might known what it is if you have seen my playthrough on the other two routes.
