Since I'm almost done with Fortune's Weave, I can safely say that Eshmel is very clearly a tool more than a character
People are already putting Eshmel and Byleth in the same box but there are very big differences here:
One of them is the main protagonist whose journey of self discovery we see play out and reinforced in every other appearance. They have a background and everything that's clearly defined
The other, despite lore spoilers, mostly exists to just bridge things together and some believe this could have been done without time travel and I can understand why.
Mind, I don't hate Eshmel. I just don't have strong feelings about them because of these observations.

It's pleasantly ironic how Byleth struggled to express themselves for years bc of things outside their control yet they like smiles

Only 5 months left of the year, so here are my predictions for the remaining Season Pass characters for the year.
Sigurd in August - When it comes between FE4 or 5, me thinks they go with 4 bc he's seemingly the most known. Plus they throw in one guy in the mix after a couple girls so yea. He'd probably be a Horse?
FByleth in September- This works for quite a few reasons. Fortune's Weave release month so using a 3H character works, 1st anniversary in order to use a popular female character, demon girls are very popular compared to demon guys. Like it all just clicks + using MByleth would feel rather tone-deaf to me considering FByleth just got an alt in FEH after over 3 years and he already has a demon outfit via Halloween. The dude is less popular overall, he does not need anything for a while.
Micaiah and Roy in October and November respectively - This mostly just comes down to the fact that these games do not have a rep yet and are probably the only first choices for their respective games. Roy would obviously be a Lion but idk about Micaiah.
Eirika in December - Eventually, more games besides 3H are going to have repeats and I figure Eirika is a solid start to that. Could see her being a spider or something.

In JPN, Byleth says "How is it? Am I smiling? I'm not very confident about it."

What I really like about this scene, for Byleth in particular, is how at first glance it probably doesn't mean too much. Then we slowly see how some believe Byleth to be unfeeling and cold even though they're not. That makes what Byleth does here mean more to the character.

Always found it funny how Byleth has quite a few things they dislike(their moniker, senseless killing etc) but said dislikes aren't listed on their profile, instead saying "None".
