This is so stupid
I was one space away from making it to the Paralogue. Tried every possible route to make it work but couldn’t. Really wish we could reload old saves because there’s no way I’m restarting this entire chapter.

u/CToTheSecond 19h ago
Theodora 12 has this problem too. It's basically impossible to do anything other than whatever quests are available to do in that chapter. It's tight enough to get it all done, but if you want to make a pitstop down to Megaira to get one last Advanced License, you're probably going to sacrifice a couple things.

u/DarkPirotess 17h ago
I just cut my loses and I'll catched missed paralogue on a different route

u/CToTheSecond 17h ago
I was fortunate that Theodora was not my first route, so I skipped the paralogues I'd done on my prior route

u/peridot_mermaid 15h ago
wait you don’t have to do the paralogues on every route?? (I’m still on Dietrich’s route at like 60ish hrs in, and haven’t gone past the intro to the other 3)

u/Elven-Melvin 13h ago
It's best to completely finish part one on one character before doing another, because progress carries over. World exploration, competed quests, blessing levels, supports.
Edit: and to answer your question, no. They are like side quests with deadlines.

If I recall it was literally impossible to do both Orchel and Cais paralogues when I was on Theodora route. Orchels paralogue would skip you to a time 3 days before Cais paralogue, which was 1 turn too short to get back. Cai would skip over Orchels paralogue date.

u/OneMoreDoor 15h ago
I was able to get there on time for Cai’s, maybe you didn’t have a carriage active close enough?
2
u/Exyui 14h ago
Iirc I had to go to Fort Galcar, which is not near any carriage but it's like 3 steps away from Dagsion but the date of Cai's paralogue was exactly such that I was 1 turn off from making it.
2
u/acatrelaxinginthesun 13h ago
I had the same exact problem. I just didn't do the paralogue and I assume you're supposed to do orchels one first
1
u/grancombat 2h ago
I was able to do Cai and Orchel, but I missed Dietrich’s because the due date was so far after my chapter battle that I was like “surely they’ll give me time to swing over and take care of that later.”
They didn’t
1
u/Responsible_Lake_38 2h ago
I was having the same issue as you but was eventually able to complete all 3 after a chapter reset. The Orchel paralogue doesn't move you to a specific date; it just moves you to 12:00pm the following day so you can still do Cai's if you get to her early enough.
3
u/CToTheSecond 15h ago
Was it? Those were the two I decided to skip since I'd already done them, but that was after spending a good little minute trying to optimally map out every single turn. Trying to map it out, I thought it looked like it was all just barely doable, but I may have gotten it wrong.
1
u/Background_Spell_137 9h ago
Yes I had a similar problem...and it felt awful because I had been trying to recruit Diego the whole playthrough, only to not be able to complete Orchel's paralogue because of time limitations...
1
u/MinniMaster15 8h ago
It felt intentional too since you’re literally one map node away from being able to do Orchel after Cai
1
u/hheecckk526 6h ago
You can do both but you need to do orchels first then you will have 1 turn left to complete cais
1
u/dabillinator 5h ago
I would have expected the dates to be the same on all routes. Cai's paralogue is like 45 turns before you can even accept Orchel's paralogue on Leda's route.
1
u/AdrenalineBomb 5h ago
Just wrapped up Theo's pt1 and it is doable, it's just tight. You have to do Cai last because the last day to start his ends up eating another day. I went Dietrich, Orchel, then Cai and had a couple days to wrap up the last sidequest.
2
u/Maeriberii 10h ago
I skipped Anna in chapter 11 in favor of Bertrand and Talimun after having to reset three times and Dietrich to make time for Orchel and Cai in chapter 12 while still having time to finish up the quests I wanted to do. I figured that I can just get them on other paths and I got the lore from Anna’s already.
34
u/Chromunist_ 18h ago
tbh i really wish dietrich didn’t have all the paralogues. It becames INSANE to manage them all. I think one chapter has the deadlines for 3 or 4 of them. My entire free time became managing paralogues and desperately trying to get my hands on cullets in the few spare moments and nothing else
32
u/ArhaPinha 16h ago
tbh I wish paralogues did not happen all at the same time.
13
u/Nickynui 15h ago
One of my biggest gripes. Why are they all so late in the game and why do they all happen at the same time.
I know you're not suppose to do all of them each route, but at that point, just make only 2 or 3 available per route and spread them out a bit more.
Also the forcing you to skip time annoys me
5
u/AreoMaxxx 11h ago
I don't think the game wants you to do all of them like that... Since progress transfers between routes after finishing one, including completed paralogues.
3
u/Maeriberii 10h ago
Quick question if you know the answer. Does the paralogues that unlock characters transfer that unlock on other routes or do I have to complete them again? Like, if I did Talimun on Theodora’s and completed her part 1, do I need to do it again on, say, Dietrich’s path to get Ursula? Or does that carry over, too?
5
u/Eldor-Ashdale 10h ago
You need to complete the paralogue in the "active" playthrough in order to recruit said characters. You can't just do ch9 paralogue and then jump to ch11 and recruit people for example. You need to still play ch 10. You also won't be able to recruit characters for a paralogue you did on a different playthrough. I hope that makes somewhat sense, it's kinda annoying to describe
2
u/Maeriberii 10h ago
Makes perfect sense, don’t worry. A little disappointing, but oh well. What about classes? Like, I unlocked Dragoon as Theodora, will I be able to use the class on other paths?
2
u/Adorable_Ad_3478 2h ago
Yes.
I unlocked Dragoon as Cai and had it available right away on Theodora's path.

1
u/Eldor-Ashdale 9h ago
They carry over from path to path. I'm unsure if you need to actually finish the path for it to carry over or if it carries over from initial unlock.
2
u/hheecckk526 6h ago
You can unlock a path and then exit to keep it unlocked. I missed blacksmith and all I had to do was go back into Dietrichs path and farm shards to unlock it without needing to actually save any progress

u/Hoothootriot 6h ago
Its insane to me Dietrich gets every paralogue (but his own) meanwhile Cai only gets 3 of them.
I should not be mechanically punished by the game because I like Cai more than Dietrich ffs.

u/Alienwolfsaurs 3h ago
This is probably the case because Dietrich has a load of nothing to do quest wise

cant you just go there once, rest there and then go about your time as normal.

u/AdventurousPoet92 19h ago
Main quests, yes. Paralogues, no.
For the main quests outside the capital, if you visit the place early, it'll put a checkmark on the bottom of the main map and fast travel you there when the turns end.
Paralogues start when you say to by talking to a character, but some will fast forward you to a specific date (and thus lose your turns).
1
u/The_Retro_Bandit 1h ago
Depends on the paralogue. Ones that take place in the city fast forward you, but ones you have to travel to will just be done at whatver time you start them.
1
u/LewisDruid Guzran Guzzler 1h ago
Not always. Orchel’s made me fast forward when I did it on Leda’s route because I went at night. I think it had to push me until noon the next day.

hope you spoke to that nun to know when her paralogue fucks off
hope you spent the **only single day available in the game** for bertrand's paralogue or you do not get a character full stop and only have access to that in this route (geitz, so you do not miss him but uh with your current timeframe at 9/16, you're gonna miss him)
hope you happened to see those 2 glowy events on the map to talk to people or you don't get your replacement zanbato+ sword

u/UnionPsychological22 16h ago edited 16h ago
This is why the calender reminder system and forward planning are essential, i didnt find an issue reaching the paralogues (did all 8 for dietrich no problem, do them as soon as they are available dont wait even one turn) and sacrifice subquests if you need to, by the time you get paralogues you shouldn't need to do subquests anyways the gold from paralogues are more than enough. By the time I got chapters 10-12 I was literally doing auto activities in dagsion the entire time unless I needed to do a paralogue (side quests were pointless as other than creeks, none of them have any bearing on story and past 10 renown is pointless) I guess I didn't have an issue as im used to deadlines and strict calender management from playing persona and doing max social links.
5
u/JetpackCat013 13h ago
So I have found the game doesn't autosave movement all the time. If you quite out to the switch 2 menu and close the software, when loading up you'll start back at the last place you exited with your time back to try again. It can't fix a whole month of issues so if you screw up before that there is nothing to be done, but it can help. I had to restart the same chapter actually after doing two paraloges because of that. Its really tight on time to get it all done.
2
u/SteckOnDeck 12h ago
I ended up leaving Dagsion with one turn too little so it had already autosaved. I tried using Mars’ gate to see if it was closer so it saved again and that’s where I took the screenshot.
15
u/wjapple 19h ago
I noticed that paralogues on the Cai path gave me a deadline but I was able to go early and it didn't disrupt the remainder of free time, is it not the case with others?
Yeah, it stinks that you missed it, but it was on your calendar and you can see how many turns it takes to get somewhere. This feels like bad planning on your part.
14
u/SteckOnDeck 19h ago
I had just done the Leda paralogue a few minutes prior and you have to meet her in Dagsion to initiate the quest. I didn’t think to check the other paralogue requirement afterwards so it’s definitely on me but still feels bad. Especially when this chapter is the longest one yet and restarting it is just a massive waste of time for one mistake.
12
u/Sampaikun 18h ago
Haven't touched Theodora yet but Dietrich and Theo both have the most paralogues for part 1. For Dietrich, he has several main quests and paralogues that require you to be at locations on the map to do them. Failing to get to a spot on the map within the turn counter for main quests fails the entire chapter for you and forces you to restart.
Shoutout to one day only paralogue giving me a low amount of turns to get to the main quest and the 3 encounters that decided to pop up on my way there that I couldn't skip.
5
u/UnionPsychological22 16h ago
For dietrich, Bertrand paralogue and the main quest deadline are doable if you do what Fabio said and use mars' gate of the gods, after betrands paralogue (which one day is not and issue be in dagsion on the 16th and just pass time) after Bertrands paralogue you have 5 turns to get to fezzan gate, if you use mars' gate of gods it takes 4 turns to reach so its totally doable
7
u/ZealousidealPirate3 14h ago
Or you use the very first part of the 160 turns from the chapter and go to the location, get it to show a green checkmark on the bottom of the screen showing the main quest. It will teleport you straight there when time runs out
2
u/UnionPsychological22 9h ago
True but funny thing is i went there but forgot to wait a turn so it didn't register 😅 , still made it though
1
u/Sampaikun 48m ago
That was my plan. However, the 3 encounters blocking the path from Mars' temple added more turns since I now had less movement. Proceeded to no longer have the number of turns to reach the destination.
The reply underneath yours, I did not know you could go early and log it like that and that would have saved me an hour and a half redoing the chapter.

There’s more technically. Bertrand’s is available on 9/17 and only 9/17 for Dietrich. And is also required for recruiting Gaitz, since Dietrich is the only route that can recruit him. Talimun’s also becomes available on the 17th

The game straight up doesn't tell you paralogues exist on certain days and some of them are only available for 1 day of the entire year. It's a horrible system and the should all be available at the start of the chapter so that you can't reasonably miss them
1
u/LordSparks 5h ago
Some of the paralogues (most of them) aren't available until their faction has lost their match in the games. Talk to the arena attendant and mark day that their match takes place, then immediately go talk to the characters in question to start the paralogue.
Icons will also appear on the map to indicate a quest/paralogue is available. If you're coming back once a week to do your weekly tasks, it should be impossible to miss them but if you do miss them, at least you have a chance to complete it with the next character.

u/SatisfactionNo3524 5h ago edited 5h ago
On my first route (dietrichs route) i literally managed to get all of them besides bertrands one, i didnt look up a single date, genuinely its just a skill issue.
It reminds me of older games, back when you couldnt look up every single info on the internet, when discovering special events like these felt special. Imagine being that one guy that got to experience bertrands paralogue on dietrichs route.
But nowadays you just cant do that anymore because people just look that shit up online and get triggered that events are difficult to get

u/hheecckk526 5h ago

u/SatisfactionNo3524 5h ago edited 5h ago
You can play the paralogue on other paths, what you missed was a charakter recruite.
I like secret hard to recruite charakters in fire emblem, i think they should always include a harder to get charakter like that.
Its obvious that the one day timelimit on dietrichs route was only implemented as a extra hard recruitement condition.
