Paired endings: Annette/Gilbert, Petra/Dorothea (for the second time, whoops.) Felix/Lysithea, Ashe/Ingrid, Dimitri/Catherine, Byleth/Sylvain. Unlike my last two runs, there were a couple of misfires here, debunking my own thought that the first 'a' any person achieved received priority for them.

(I intended to have Dedue/Annette, and Mercedes/Dimitri. Must be whomever has the highest support total or something then, since I put a lot of effort into seeing the supports for Annette/Gilbert and Dimitri/Catherine.)

Time playing: 40:10, Hard/Classic, regular New Game. Crimson Flower was 43:21 Hard/Classic, regular New Game, and Verdant Wind was 49:40, Hard/Classic, NG+ from Crimson Flower.

For Silver Snow, I'm going to NG+ my Verdant Wind file. Sure, it makes things OP, but considering my plans for that route, I'm gonna need some help.

Namely, it is my goal to recruit every student I possibly can, and then to never let them fight. So besides Byleth, I'll have Flayn, Seteth, Cyril, Hanneman, Manuela, Alois, Shamir, and Catherine to work with. I'l probably use adjutants as a way to build supports, though, but since technically my adjutants can't die even on classic, I consider it keeping--

the kids safe. It's like job shadowing.

Going to be doing the battle of the eagle and lion soon. If all goes according to plan, the opposing houses will be Claude+Hilda+Generics and Dimtri+Dedue+Generics.

While all of their friends sit on the sidelines and cheer Byleth/Flayn/Shamir on.
