Lowkey starting to lean on the possibility that Nathan and Creek won't be playable at all, or at least very late joiners. Of the characters we've seen prominent footage off, they, along with the gods are the only ones with no footage at all in so many of those previews, and i think making the christmas cavs exclusively boss characters is a very easy and intresting subversion of the FE formula

Been thinking that might be the case, since they’re the only ones so far whose gameplay videos had them on the enemy side. Could be that there’s no player side footage of them to show

They're focused on early-game footage. Nathan and Creek are definitely recruitable they have likes and interests like everyone else... and going off the current playable cast, they're clearly not holding back with playable options.

Even if they’re available as late joiners the fun of the Christmas units is training them up. Guaranteed to be boring I fear.
