Fire Emblem: Three Houses Playthrough 68 (Verdant Wind): The End Approaches
0With the truth about Nemesis, Heroes' Relics, and Crests, which were once a mystery, have been solved, and what a dark backstory it was. We did learn about the reason why Seiros fought Nemesis a thousand years ago, and after being told at first that Nemesis was a hero who was corrupted by darkness, and then to find out he was a bandit, I guess this route does give a bit of lore about Fódlan.
As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description
The title of this video is a line Sothis says in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate during Byleth's Final Smash, so I thought it would be a fitting title, as we did learn the true lore about Nemesis and the 10 Elites, and the origin of Heroes' Relics and Crests, that was such a dark backstory to hear about.
I didn't cut out the first Auxiliary Battle because the song Apex of the World does not play on this route, which is one thing about New Game +, this song plays on the final map of Azure Moon, which I did do a playthrough on and have completed, and this song does also play on the final map of Crimson Flower.
I remember when I first heard Apex of the World in Tetris 99, where that song played when there are 10 Players Remaining, and if you didn't know, there was a special event in Tetris 99 about a month after the release of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and the first song was Fódlan Winds, the song that played when there were 50 players left was Tearing Through Heaven, and the song when there were 10 players left was Apex of the World, it did surprise me when I learned that it was the final map theme on two routes.
Another thing on this route is that you have five weekends you can explore the Monastery, but you can only cook four times, and we will need to prepare all we can if we want to stop the unidentified military army.
There were some things I originally considered in this playthrough, I wanted to pair Ignatz with Flayn, but I ended up pairing him with Shamir on accident, and I did consider using Flayn at first, but when I saw that Shamir can support with half of the Golden Deer units, and she can support with Cyril, I then decided to use Shamir in this playthrough. As for Lorenz, I did consider pairing him with Dorothea, but in the end, I went with Manuela to make up for her not being paired in my Azure Moon playthrough, because I had Flayn and Manuela at A Support with one another, and after beating the final boss of Azure Moon, I then found out that Manuela and Flayn cannot have a paired ending with one another.
At the end of the month, Byleth visits the cemetery, and you get to pick who you love, so that is any unit Byleth can S Support with, and in order to activate this scene, you need to have visited Jeralt's room back in Chapter 10 and picked up the ring, as it does become important at some point, and this is the moment it happens.
I will list Byleth's possible S Support partners, and I will be going over the units on the Verdant Wind route.
Male Byleth: Lysithea, Marianne, Hilda, Leonie, Linhardt, Bernadetta, Dorothea, Petra, Mercedes, Annette, Ingrid, Flayn, Manuela, Alois, Catherine, Shamir
Female Byleth: Claude, Lorenz, Raphael, Ignatz, Ferdinand, Linhardt, Caspar, Dorothea, Felix, Ashe, Sylvain, Mercedes, Seteth, Hanneman, Alois, Cyril
There is a secret unit listed as ???, you can pick Sothis for your S Support, and I did read somewhere that you needed to have increased your relationship with Sothis from Chapters 1 to 10, and it is through something you never see in the game, and I didn't include Rhea as an option even thought you can get to A Support with her in Part 1, this is because you can only S Support with Rhea on the Silver Snow route.
Another bit of trivia is that some of the characters from the Golden Deer house are named after characters from William Shakespeare's story "King Lear", those being Riegan, Goneril, Edmund, and Cordelia, which are respectively the last names of Claude, Hilda, Marianne, and Lysithea, although it was changed to Ordelia outside to Japan because we already had a character named Cordelia in Fire Emblem: Awakening. Another character in King Lear is the Earl of Gloucester, both Leicester and Gloucester were used for names of cities in England, which could be what the Leicester Alliance is named after, and Gloucester being Lorenz's last name, and both Lorenz and Hilda were names that was previously used by other characters in the Fire Emblem series, Lorenz was used for a unit in Shadow Dragon, and Hilda was the name of a villain from Genealogy of the Holy War. Hilda is a name that has been used in many video games, it's also the name of the female protagonist from Pokémon Black & White, and the name of the Princess of Lorule from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
