Growths are for losers, it's all about the cap modifiers.

e: VVVV we don't know her localized name yet. I really hope they keep the theme of her name being an unpronounceable mess.

No, the most important thing of all is the fact they can inherit good growths from Donny, which leads to things like Nn with a 98 Str growth.

Oh man, I forgot all about that character. Is "Nn" the official localisation or is their name still "n_n" or whatever the gently caress?

Will the internet think less of me if I turn on Casual mode, though? :saddowns:
Either way, I always reset whenever one of my units dies, so I might as well just be realistic and turn the thing on.

I don't think we've seen the official localization for it yet. Though since she has some lines about how weird her name is I'd guess at Nn, or something equally bizarre.

That's one way to get ahead in life, but nothing beats an axe to the face.
Is it just me or did the game disappear from Gamestop's (US here) website. I do a search and it says "not available". I was going to toss a link to my friend so he can order a copy. Is it sold out or did the worst thing happen? (GAME DELAY!)

I too reset whenever one of my units die (mostly deaths due to enemy AI being completely suicidal in Fire Emblem games). :hfive: Casual mode all the way.

I am in complete disagreement, to go against Classic Mode is to go against Fire Emblem itself. We must purge those who dare soil the sanctity of this series with their "casual" play.

Two questions:

A) Is Sallya as annoying as she sounds? I read her description on the Fire Emblem wiki and it had "obnoxious tsundere crazy lady" written all over it.

B) Isn't there some class skill that increases the activation chance of other skills? I seem to recall that.

She's not really "tsundere crazy lady" so much as she is "evil gloomy witch."

You're thinking of the promoted Lord's second skill.

Fairly easily, though it's worth remembering that magic works a bit differently in this game as opposed to the GBA games. The "magic wheel" is more or less gone; element is now more about weight and damage. There is basically no actual "holy" damage magic, and "dark" magic is largely about special effects like drains and poo poo.

You can definitely class change over to Dark Mage if you want to, though.

She's not really tsundere so much as she's just distant and kind of "emo" to everyone... EXCEPT the protagonist. Of either gender. :v: So she's super nice to you and cooler to everyone else. While having the most goddamn ridiculous outfit in the game (though admittedly, NPC Dark Mages wear the same stupid outfit).

I'm also given to understanding that the ultimate reason she's so attached to the PC ends up being fairly sweet.

I have no idea why they made her name "Tharja", though; people are gonna mispronounce that so hard. :psyduck: What was wrong with Sallya or even Sariya?!

That's fine, I was mostly concerned about appearance.

I believe Regy Rusty was referring to appearance rather than function. In FE12 you could come pretty close to Canas's portrait with MU customization.

Not sure, and yes. You can mix and match options, you don't just have five portraits per character. That said the options are pretty limited and I don't think there's a monocle.

Oh there's absolutely purple hair. I think there might also be an eyeglasses option? Not sure. You can deffo create a glasses-less Canas though, there's a billion hair color options.

It's one of those non-spoilers that raises more questions than it answers. It's more of a pull to find out who this character is and why they're impersonating Marth than it would be if their identity and motivations were laid flat on the table, or if their ability to impersonate Marth was actually plausible enough not to question.

There are definitely no monocles anymore. And no headwear aside from a headband and a circlet attached to a specific hairstyle/face respectively. So no longer is it possible to end up with, say, Berserker MUs who are classy monocled gentlemen and also the pope.

Someone on Serenes went through and screenshotted all of the possible faces and hairstyles, for anyone who wants to see all the options. There are a couple details like scars on a few of them that don't show up too well in the images, though.

It isn't. Sibling pairings in general aren't possible, their supports will just cap out at A.

Having cousins (or potentially an aunt/nephew or uncle/niece in a couple special cases) hook up is possible, though.
