So I got Fire Emblem: Three Houses for Christmas...

And now I'm playing it for the first time.

So, uh. I guess we can just chat about it or something?

My current progress/experience with the game (kinda disorganized):

• Picked the Golden Deer House (because nobles are kinda...meh.)
• Just got the 'Sword of the Creator' (haven't actually fought using it yet)
• Who gave Mr. Edgy Black Knight Thorns Infinity?
• Why do Bow users have all the Speed in the world (what do they use, Tier 2 Escape?)
• Magic enemies are annoying (they can kiss Mi-as...ma)

Enemies
...What? You mean your enemy's healers aren't grenadiers? Really odd to see a healer unarmed...
Anyways, they were dangerous at first, until I hit ZR on my controller for the first time. Since then, I've just been waiting, baiting, and destroying everything in my path. I should've picked Hard Mode...
Also, why is the Cavalier so good? Great tank, and can one-shot most enemies with a Tempest Lance, if not just the regular attack.

The Weakness/Strength Cycle
Axes beat Lances, Lances beat Swords, and Swords beat...Hang on, I think that's the other way around. Axes are weak to Lances...? Wait, why wouldn't an Axe just chop off the giant stick which Lances have? Swords somehow outmaneuver Lances? What?
On that note, Bows are weak to everything except Magic (apparently), and Magic seems to be only weak to Bows and almost OP against Melee. Unless Magic is weak and strong against everything, but I honestly can't tell.

Anyone else wanna comment on their experiences with the game? (No spoilers, please!)
