Autism ahead, rate accordingly

Considering how characters interact based on what Support level they’ve achieved, if Mercedes and Annette are at B-Rank it’s entirely possible they were doing that stupid “not talking to each other” thing for the entirety of the timeskip - sorta like how the Raphael-Ignatz support, Ignatz doesn’t catch onto the fact Raphael doesn’t blame him for his parent death until their A-Rank, post timeskip, so it’s entirely possible to have Raphael kill him and have that plot point be moot in a rather ironic way.

Granted, story and gameplay separation exists for a very good reason - though that said, I’d’ve liked to see the Divine Pulse mechanic used more in the actual story, outside failing to save Jeralt…

That was the basis of my joke

I’ll be the first to admit I don’t always get jokes in text form - it’s sorta like with sarcasm, it tends to lose something.

That said, gave me a chance to sperg - seriously, why wasn’t Divine Pulse used more in the story proper, even if just as a Blooper Reel for NG+?

Also 40 hours into this NG+ playthrough and I just figured out what Divine Pulse does. I've played this game twice already. I thought that whatever it was, that its charges were per-playthrough, not per-battle.

In fairness, Divine Pulse is more of an emergency “Oh Shit, I Fucked Up, ABORT!” button more than anything else, especially since you can go all the way back to the start if any battle in One Pulse - I’ve legitimately gone entire playthroughs without using the thing more than once (usually Ashe and Catherine’s Paralogue in case I over extend and get motherfucked in the Fog, any of the Ashen Wolves Paralogues because compared to the base game ones those ones are a right kick in the teeth, or in Anna’s Paralogue because fuck that quest with a cactus.)

Wait... one charge can roll back an entire battle? I thought it was one charge per turn-rolled-back. I think I have almost ten charges, maybe more.

It would be a lot more fair if that was the case. Was almost certain that IS would do that after feedback from SoV, guess not.

Mercedes mentions Ingrid a lot. But also Annette. I think they all scissor or something. Plus I already recruited Annette because Annette is easy.

Annette is moist for Mercedes and the male Byleth (for giving quality life advice, for some reason); while Dorothea is the one who makes an move on Ingrid.

Because you can't fight fate and if you do, people like Thales shows up to cockblock you and subsequently laugh at you. Although, this would be a decent time to use it.

And honestly, I was half-expecting Dedue to take the dive; but the at least Rodrigue lived up to his title as the Shield of Faerghus.

Turns out that Serene Forest hates the romance aspect of this game.

Dedue joins you in the next chapter if I remember correctly so he's either dead or separated from the crew

He rejoins on the bridge map, which is right before this one and it's kind of weird in terms of the plot. Like he knew that Dimitri will be assaulting a bridge that belongs to the Alliance on that particular day. Although, it would make more sense to see him in the city.
 
@NerdShamer Kind of agree with Serene. But it does give you added insight into that student’s disposition when they are totally in love. Without other S ranks, and without a personality they have to work off of, this is a pretty unvarnished view.

Yeah, but it's kind of weird to imagine how people can fall in love with an (mostly) emotionless guy who knows how to say the right things.

But stranger things have happened, though.

"well, women do love winners, don't they Halligan?"

seriously, by the end of any route, you've proven yourself (story-wise) at minimum a brilliant tactician and possessing godlike powers. who wouldn't like that?
