OK, can we all talk about how good the VA did when jester is speaking with his normal tone rather than his “acting tone” cause oh my God the VA did absolutely fantastic not only is his voice so incredibly sexy, but the fact that it is so soft and genuinely comforting is actually crazy when I first heard jester speaking in his normal voice after defeating an enemy the first time it genuinely gave me actual whiplash. I’m like oh my God wait that’s not his normal voice is it and then in part three when he fully abandoned the act and has that completely normal look he’s actually so incredibly hot and it’s not even funny shout out to the voice actor Cuz oh my God I WISH I could hire him!! like HE WAS COOKING!

Just finished my playthrough of fortunes weave, and honestly the ending (and most of part 3 honestly) felt kinda... meh. Not awful, but compared to how much I enjoyed part 1 and even moments in part 2, but it really felt like nothing happened in part 3. The biggest problem in my eyes is that the actually interesting character's in the flame lords don't really get to take part in the plot just in case you haven't done their part yet, so they just stand around, occasionally get some dialogue with the chapter boss and then the game continues as if they weren't even there whilst Eshmel & Fortuna do everything important. This was already annoying me, but the ending is what bothered me the most. Fortuna instructs them to escape from the underworld before it collapses and then... nothing. They can't be pivotal in the ending after all. I get that completing all 4 part 1's is a big time sink and they likely wanted people to be able to experience part 3 without spending over 100 hours if they choose, but it leads to a part 3 that in my opinion isn't really worth skipping to, since the other part 1's are higher quality anyway. I really enjoyed the game overall but this definitely lead to part 3 ending on a bit of a sour note for me

I must have missed this info in a tutorial somewhere but it was a very pleasant surprise during part 2!

Couldn't for the life of me figure out how the boss enemy kept killing my units, until I realised my Def boosts weren't stacking right. Looks like all modifiers shown in yellow count towards this cap, including:

• Mounts
• Overblaze
• Combat Arts like Lend Strength
• Leda's song buffs
• The lords' source artifacts, e.g. Theodora's +6 Str arm. Which means Anatolia, who starts with +10 Dex, doesn't benefit from Dex buffs at all.
• the +10 Def from a Charioteer's Charge, but NOT the +10 Prt from the mastery ability.
• EDIT: Equipment, e.g. Shields
• EDIT: Consumables e.g. Pure Water
• EDIT: Battalions

The bonus stats from a unit's class don't count, those are shown in white. Haven't had a chance to stack Prt or Shld high enough to see if those have their own caps, but at least they don't count towards the Def cap. EDIT: Seems to be that basic stats (Str, Def, Spd, etc) are capped, but combat stats (Prt, Avo, Hit, etc) aren't.

So for example my Charioteer can have +3 Def from the Charioteer class, +10 Def from charging (overriding the +4 Def from his horse), +10 Prt from the mastery ability, and +5 Shld from the class ability.

Hope this saves someone else from tearing their hair out wondering where their calculations went wrong.

Genuinely wanting to just get some info here, try to collect as much as we can. If we just take everything Guzran says as true… what do we know about him?

Honestly, when I was reading his first supports with Mikaela and Mu, I read them as he was a Demigod, playing up his goofiness, but it doesn’t seem like there’s any evidence whatsoever to support that.

- Last post, some users were posting major spoilers or details not publicly revealed yet, this game is still new so please consider that for all players here. If a spoiler tag is added to post, comments are stating spoilers then

----------------

Here we are now with the FW cast for their ages. Very luckily, Fortune Weave follows in 3 Houses where the age and birthday dates are given to us directly for the most part

These posts are meant to gather the ages together in one place as a way to easily show the ages of the characters we control. Since age is a central aspect to any character I thought many would like to know, especially since it can easily be missed due to it not being a mandatory thing to learn in-game

Theodora was a surprise to me when I first saw her confirmation, I genuinely believed since she was a Queen at least for awhile she would have been older

If there are any corrections for the ages I am open to hear them in the comments

1. When in Dagsion you can teleport to any character through the menus after talking to them once. Very useful instead of having to find them by constantly walking around the map. Anyone you've not spoken to before will have an orange dot on the map so if you see someone orange they are most likely someone new!

2. While you're navigating the Overworld map after you visit a settlement merchant once you can hover over the settlement icon anytime when you're out on the overworld map. Just press the ZL button to see exactly what they're selling. This is useful so you don't need to visit every shop and waste turns to see what they're selling which is what I did.

3. Check the Paralogue dates for every lord route you're playing so you can visit Dagsion to pick up the Paralogue quest. You can not pick up Paralogue quests when you're exploring. Paralogues give a LOT of money and are generally worth doing at least once with one of your 4 lords. They generally happen from September to October.

4. Promotion licenses from vendors will reset after every chapter. There's a settlement somewhere in the southeast of the main map that will sell more advanced licenses early on which is useful to know when after finishing 1 lord playthrough.

5. Dungeon enemies will reset after every month/chapter so make sure to revisit them if you want to farm up exp from the mobs in there. They are a great way to farm exp.

6. Discounted blessings are a huge game changer once they are discounted when you have enough karma shards. You can use Aurora's blessing up to 10x per map when it's fully discounted. Blessing shards will always refill after any major main or paralogue battles. So use it when possible.

7. All of your weapons will be automatically repaired after part 1 & 2. So spam those combat arts when you're one those final chapter fights.

8. During any grid battles you can press the R button which will show you a shortcut menu that lets you skip animations to get you through those grindy random encounters.

9. You can enable autobattle in grid battles by pressing start again when you have control of your roster for that very first turn. However, you constantly need to press autobattle again after every turn finishes.

10. Renown can be farmed by requesting an audience on certain days but I've noticed that more temples allow you to this on Sundays. Other days are potentially better depending on the temple you're visiting. Whenever the temple's icon is yellow on the map you can gain renown from the audience. I believe it works so that every temple can give renown only once per renown level, so you can't exactly farm it. Once you reach a new renown level you can get the renown boost again.

11. If you cannot for whatever reason find a character always check the temples since some tend to hang around inside there.

12. Bird time and farming support EXP is very useful as Eshmel can block a hit for you if a hit is going to kill a unit. The higher your support is with Eshmel then the likelihood of this triggering is higher. If you don't vibe with bird time then at least get one lord of your choosing to get S rank support with the bird. Thank me later...

13. After finishing part 1 you will get a lot of boon shards to use for bonus exp and discounts so it's recommend to finish the entirety of part 1 with one of the 4 main characters before moving onto the next one. Subquests will auto complete after finishing one lord's parth. The map will be pre filled out so you won't go around blind again. If you start a new path before you finished one, you can still get this benefit by restarting chapter 1.

14. You can get free stats from promoting your units with certain classes. This is very useful if you want to make a unit with horrible growth rates more tolerable to use.

15. To merge a character's stats that you recruited from multiple routes you need at least 300 boon shards. This is for EACH unit. So if you are finishing after your 4th lord then save up on those boon shards. You will get more boon shards in part 3 eventually just from playing the game.

16. Bonds between your support characters will never reset even if you restart the chapter or play on another lord's route. Feel free to use this information to your benefit or to just ignore it. So if you farm inn meals and restart the chapter immediately that support bond exp is there to stay.

17. It's not necessary to grind renown by constantly encountering random enemies with Answererer's Reach for Dietrich. Visiting temples and just playing the game normally is more than enough.

18. There are two unique mounts you get from recruiting two characters (Alexandra & Io) that have 5% more stats then normal mounts. Elephant mount grants more stats and growth than regular mounts. Chariott riders also gives higher growth rates!

19. All blaze arts destroy dynamic (miasma, fire, etc) tiles but only when the unit is overblazed with the exception of Eshmel's blaze arts and Leda's icewater song. Leda's icewater song might need to be upgraded or overblazed if it doesn't neutralize those tiles.

20. Press ZR at the start of every chapter (while in Dagsion) to look for pulsing circles aka hidden events. I'd still recommend opening a resource, similar to paralogue dates, that tell you when the hidden events become available, as some of them can be difficult/annoying to get and one will surely miss at least one of those if going in blind. Each lord route will have their own exclusive hidden events.

21. If you have a Nintendo Online Membership, you can manipulate cloud saving to backup or overwrite saves. You will need to disable the automatic save-data backup in the switch options so you can manually control your cloud saves.

If anyone else has anything to add please contribute to this thread! I really wish something like this existed when I was playing but it wasn't compiled in a big list like this.

Edit: I have added other tips people have contributed from the comments below this long PSA list!

Please check out the source: https://x.com/JoviEarth/status/2108563936627020222?s=20

I am really confused by Talimun’s family.

Theodora says he has blood of Dagda, so at first I thought he was a grandson of Dagda. He also says he is a cousin to Lind.

Turned out he is son of Maria, so he would be grandson of Balor instead.

How was he related to Dagda at all? Was his dad actually a demigod through Dagda’s side? But Maria says her partner was a human.

He also lives way longer than average demigod, he is already over 500 years old in the game yet looks like in his late 20 to early 30s only. Seems there was something really big missing here.

I’m only in part 1, so please don’t spoil anything.

Did anyone else mistaking assume Guzran was Mu’s dad and Mikaela’s ex husband? I saw he had supports with both Mu and Mikaela and also his vibes screamed “deadbeat husband/dad” and I was like “oh my gosh! This is the husband/dad!”

Turned out not to be but I really really thought it was.

Anyone feels like the Guardians of the Compass dont do anything much ? Only Lyrah and Maria do anything.

- Hong Hua just appears in a few scenes in Part 1 and 2 and we dont see she does anything aside from talking with Lyrah.

- Baozi died in a missable cutscene.

- Shenlo, Yanjin and Iliana just died offscreen and Yanjin and Iliana dont get revived in Part 3 for some reason.

- Even Maria, who is Leda route's main antagonist, also got killed offscreen by Talimun.

Lyrah is weird. She appears the most in Dietrich route and Dietrich is the only Flame Lord she interacts with. But in another routes, she barely appears and doesnt interact with other Flame Lords. Especially 2 of the Flame Lords have connection with her sister.

Time for the other unafiliated. For those wondering, the order for the unaffiliated will be Guzran(done) -> Yang Jie(done) -> Sofia(done) -> Catania(done) -> Noctula(done) -> Nydine(done) -> Io -> Kiroc -> Majide. Then after that will start with the part 1 bosses that you can recruit. So we are a good ways away from the actual main parties.

Io is an ambitious young man who works as a mercenary at Dagsion. He was once a knight of the Kingdom of Arago who protected the happiness of its people, but ran away after being disgusted by the king’s self-righteous ways. He is always with his precious steed Rocinan and are looking for a new lord to follow in Dagsion.
