What is the Dietrich route about?
A battle-driven outsider gradually learning to connect with people in Dagda.
Nintendo frames Dietrich’s story around discovering bonds with others through the experience of a surrogate family.
Can you switch to another hero route?
Yes. Nintendo says you can advance multiple hero stories in parallel. Between matches, the Pale Raven's perch in the city can be used to move to a different storyline, so choosing Dietrich does not mean you must ignore the other three paths.
