Review Time:

Half-beastdragonsoul2013 - Huh...good point.

Diasperad - Thanks!

DestructionDragon360 - I love the Sunny reference.

BlazeTrog755 - Exactly, I even use that below.

The Azure Reaper - Queen? Well Archibishop at the least.

Mike AZ 2 - The weird thing is, I liked that ending but it's odd it doesn't happen in other routes. I guess it's because a piece of Rhea animated Byleth to begin with? It makes more sense symbolically than literally, if that makes sense.

DavianThule19 - Nahhhhh. Not that it wouldn't be funny, but since Byleth is MU it's a bit too on the nose, if that makes sense.

DarkyTime - Fixed.

Guest1 - Lol, pretty much.

Guest2 - Strange indeed. With Kronya, it was to give her more screentime since I felt she was criminally underused in the game. Cornelia just lucked out in the end. Kronya makes the more immediate impression because of who she offed, but Cornelia is responsible for a lot more in the background.

Guest3 - I do not have such plans. The reason being, it would be quite redundant. With Roy it was fine since he was the only hero of fe6, but with 3H we had either Byleth as the MU, so it was a coin flip.

AilingStar - Well you were close!

Unzealots - Part of this I've tried out.

SquidbaggerOfWoomyAndNgyesness - Oh, good luck then!


Attention, all. The final opponents lay before us…..Nemesis, the King of Liberation and his army. The fate of Fodlan rests squarely on the outcome of our next battle. Let us prepare to end this!

-Seteth


Alois - I do not know what this look is trying to be but you will ditch the sunglasses and hair adorned into a bun. It is certainly not what "the younger folks are wearing these days".

Anna - You…..I can't believe you were not lying. The relic of Earnest is a cannon that…shoots laser beams. Next time I will just nod plainly and not try to argue with you.

Annette - I do not know what the horrible music of Shambhala was called, and it was pretty distressing that it had no lyrics. Even your own voice could not save it.

Ashe - It is clear that your restaurant idea has potential if launched, considering that you got rid of the rats. You're a good cook. But I urge you not to employ anyone that has made the kitchen explode. This is a surprisingly high ratio of Garreg Mach.

Balthus - Claude has asked…..well, rather implored me, for me to make you stop making suggestive comments about his mother. Between that and Judith, it seems older women are just his bane in general.

Bernadetta - Rotating jailors is a way to give the current one a break and/or use others to subdue the prisoner. Booking yourself to cover Hubert every single day is a far cry from the Bernadetta I knew five years ago, are you…..falling for him?

Byleth - Let us review that transpired in Shambhala. We charged through to attack, and each time one of us was killed by the Agarthans, you rewinded time to save us. But when you kept having to do it…..you ripped a hole in time and space and produced a male clone of yourself, who not only has a creator sword, but generally has the same memories. This clone was confused but he opted to help us destroy the Agarthans as he too had a memory of Jeralt dying. So now we have a second Byleth whom you suggested we call "Bylad" to differentiate you two. That much I can accept. ….I just do not understand why HIS outfit is much more conservative than yours! It is NOT a mystery!

Caspar - We will not be taking trophies from the hordes of dead Agarthans. Get rid of that bulky armor.

Catherine - Do not even suggest as a joke that you left Thunderbrand in the underground otherworldly city. It blew up. It's right there, under your bed.

Claude - "Dubstep" is such an odd name for you to give to the Agarthan music. It doesn't even sound like it means anything, but I suppose it shall suffice.

Constance - I sense your growing panic on who to wed for the sake of your house, but there is a better way than organizing 60 second rounds of speed dating, than giving standardized tests to all of the candidates.

Cornelia - It seems you're now truly terrified on what Dimitri can do. Gilbert even debated throwing you in the line of his carnage. Ahhhh, there it is. The look of a trapped rat.

Cyril - I feel the violent urge to bash you after you said "hit or miss, I guess I never miss HUH?" during the last battle.

Dedue - It was rather nice to see you and Dimitri hug and be at peace when it was all over. Although he still must insist he can take a bath by himself.

Dimitri - It seems the endless slaughter…has given you introspection. You worked with Edelgard to destroy a common foe, understanding the two of you are not so different. And at some point you realized how gratuitous it got. No seriously, you choked a few, disemboweled others, ripped off legs and arms, at one point even used your teeth to…..never mind. The two of you will still need some emotional help but we are grateful you're on the path to changing yourself. Now please wash all the blood and gore off, the odor is quite unpleasant.

Dorothea - I would scold you for casually saying "both versions of the Professor are pretty attractive" but even Lady Rhea seemed to agree with you.

Edelgard - Shambhala is no more. You proved to be just as lethal as Dimitri during the carnage….and lastly there was Thales, whom had masqueraded as your Uncle Arundel. Well….it was rather amusing to have him cowering in a corner while you and Dimitri politely insisted the other should slaughter him, the both of you covered in the guts of his fallen comrades. Unfortunately that gave him time to blow the city up, but at least he is gone.

Felix - It is understandable that you would be so disgusted with Dimitri…..but we didn't miss the smile you had once he thanked all of his friends and promised not to wallow in the shadow of his past any longer. Oh shut up, it was a smile and you know it.

Ferdinand - Um, save the victory speeches until the war is over completely. I know half of those pages are your planned reforms as Emperor.

Flayn - There's a lot to process with two versions of…..what, you got a letter? From whom? Indech and Macuil…..it is….nice to actually hear from them. ….wait, they're in a transformed state. How on earth did they write this?

Fleche - I am glad you passed both the Beginner and Intermediate Exams. Although in both cases your testing hall was completely empty and your brother - in his Uncle Randy mode - was taking a nap while he was proctoring.

Gilbert - Cornelia been punished a lot, so I presume she will remain in a cell in Faerghus for the reminder of her days…..what, there's one more punishment? And it involves your wife? Wait…..no…..what are you….?

Hanneman - They're the same person but with different genders. Bylad having the Crest of Flames too should come as no shock. No I do not want to hear your theory on "parallel universes" and…..a crest is a crest. You cannot say it's half.

Hapi - There's a reason why you cannot sigh. It invites beasts to attack. Although I suppose it was effective when you used this ability to make beasts burst into the city and pick off weakened Agarthans. Hmm….maybe I need to sign you up for some therapy too.

Hilda - Marianne insists she does not have "UNO".

Hubert - I cannot believe Bernadetta has changed her tune on you. It's rather surprising…..I must ask where does your allegiance truly lay anymore? Will you be a prisoner with Edelgard or bargain for your own release? Saying to let Edelgard decide to perhaps the most in-character approach to it.

Ignatz - Let us try this again. The Goddess had several children, myself and Rhea being two of them. We had to lay low for centuries and conceal our identities. Flayn is my offspring so she is Rhea's niece. Byleth was born from Sitri - a homunculus Rhea created to be a vessel for the Goddess. Do I need to draw you a diagram?

Ingrid - Felix has threatened to cut you with his sword should you name your future first child "Glenn". He has instead suggested the name….."Ashe's Spawn".

Kronya - It is rather disturbing you could only laugh as your kind was killed before Thales blew up the entire city. Though given the history of your kind…..I suppose one could ONLY laugh after an unceremonious defeat.

Jertiza - The Agarthans were terrified of you and you using the weapon THEY made to slaughter them in droves. Although it should be noted they feared Mercedes more because she was holding you back with a neck chain as if you were a rabid hound.

Judith - When things are blowing up, the answer is not to don sunglasses, walk slowly from it, and say "cool women don't look at explosions".

Ladislavia - The look on your face when you announced to Edelgard your departure from the empire when she had no idea what your name was…was rather sad, actually. Understand she's had a lot on her mind as of late.

Lady Rhea - It is not proper to say to Bylad "if she wasn't here, you could take her place" while rubbing his cheek. Pick one and stay with one, for the sake of us all. Wha-he is not our "brother-in-law"! I mean…..yes…..but…..er…..Goddess, give me strength….

Leonie - The Goddess has not "smiled on me by giving me Bylad". He is still his own individual. If you wish to court him, then it must do it by the strength of your own efforts.

Linhardt - "If Byleth procreates with Bylad, is that selfcest or mastur-" shut up shut up shut UP SHUT UP

Lorenz - I'm actually surprised some female knights were disappointed when you said you were taken. Doubly so that you gave them a rose as consolation. Do….do you have a fanclub now?

Lysithea - Thank you for warping us out of the city before we all got caught in its exploding wake. You might be disappointed you didn't get to nuke but go ahead, Nemesis is all yours.

Manuela - "What's Hanneman's favorite tea" oh come ON

Marianne - Well you were right to think Holst would break all of your bones if you fought him fairly. But seeing as how his….diarrhea flared up you won by forfeit.

Mercedes - Your reputation as "the Death Knight handler" has made people rush to pray, donate to charity, and be nice just to appease you. This is a very powerful ability you now possess.

Nader - Please do not "dab" on the smoldered remains of the Agarthan stronghold.

Petra - Well, at least you're happy you understand "why the hoes are mad".

Randolph - Okay, you're done with this stupid uncle role. Doling out booze and special herbs is where I officially draw the line.

Raphael - How could you actually CONFUSE the two Byleths. One of them is a woman!

Rodrigue - You saying you do not care what Felix does with his life, as long as he follows his heart….was actually enough to make your son cry and say "shut up dad you're making it hard to hate you".

Shamir - Now is hardly the time to renegotiate your contract! Help us one last time and you can do whatever you want after.

Sylvain - Please do not suggest to Dimitri he needs to continue his Bladdiyd line with Edelgard. He is actually pondering the idea. The man is still damaged!

Yuri - Yeah, I told you it was not a good idea. Rhea heard, transformed into her dragon form, and nearly vaporized you with her breath. Those related to her is a….touchy subject for her.


To be continued...


1) Don't get the wrong idea, Seteth was only assuming the worst for Gilbert. It's not at all what you think.

2) "Why Nemesis, this isn't GD" It was a crime that Rhea never got to settle the score with the foe in the very beginning of the game. The actual SS endgame is just this weird contrived event. SS and GD share a lot of elements, what's one more that makes the game feel a bit more conclusive?

3) Next chapter shall conclude the story...not as Seteth still scolding people but everyone's individual ending. I'm sorry I couldn't use every single suggestion out there but I am looking forward to the end. Some paired events from the game, some of my own head, some just mixing whatever. Stay tuned.

3.5) in japanese the Byleths have differing names (ベレト vs ベレス). The best English equivalent of this is the fan rendition of "Bylad" and "Bylass". I used that in a story where both Byleths hang out with fellow DLC character Terry Bogard.
