-is an accurate use of the term’s original meaning, because he is in fact coaxing you into thinking exactly as he does by handing you his memory chip. His meme does, in fact, infect you. Or at least Aria.

Baby boy. Baby boy, that is not a normal sleep pose. What are you doing?

Oh right. I forgot who Byleth can partner with. Fair assessment. Also correct house to focus on.

Oh my, thank you. I don’t know that I’ve really influenced fandom perception broadly but I will let that go to my head regardless. I’m glad you enjoyed them, they’re still some of my favorite posts on this site and I love hearing from people who thought they were interesting. I haven’t actively talked about Ib in a long time, but I still think the game is fantastic.

Fair enough. I have no strong opinions because I’m wildly disinterested in Fortune’s Weave. Even my wife, who adores Three Houses, isn’t interested. So we have very little perspective on the matter.

That sounds about right. I don’t know that this will be in that timeframe, but they’re like an adjacent territory.

Oh so you actually haven’t. Well then what’s with all the theorycrafting?

Anyway I know fuckall about it because it's not important, and Shamir is bottom tier so I can't really say I care based on that. The trailer also shows what seems to be dungeon crawling like in Echoes, and that is. A choice. A bad one, to be clear.

They probably will change things regardless, but whether or not those changes are good is another question.

On a more serious note: we don't know if this is a prequel or sequel. We do know this isn't Fodlan, apparently it's Dagdan, which means Shamir's territory, so it may have no major association in that way despite Sothis' presence. We don't really know how Sothis procreates, so we don't have a sense of how she had children. The only child we have is Flayn, who suggested half-human blood, but that mystery plot point was unceremoniously dropped and apparently completely irrelevant despite all the time invested in it. So really, we can't say you're wrong, but I also don't think that's really what they're going for, since Sothis seems incorporeal again. If nothing else, this doesn't seem like an origin story for her, and I have significant doubts that Rhea will factor in at all.

I mean, yes kinda? The higher demand is definitely the "go with her at the start of the month," given how much the game emphasizes using your month to the fullest, but she's not there past the first week. There is a possibility, though I've never done it, that you could miss the mark on support on hard modes where you can't really grind support through costless training matches. You'd have to be more on top of things like meals and such.
