That said Real Marth is voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa and you sure as gently caress ain't mistaking that voice for him.

I love how Duel Attacks have given a whole new dimension to dying because you got a crit and killed the enemy, letting another one attack and kill you. Now Dual Attacks can do that too! drat it, MU, Cordelia could only survive the one attack  Also, Vaike has so far refused to get pretty much anything but near perfect levels, which is fantastic.

Tae posted:Just say the mask is Magic and changes voices, it's not that hard writers. The thing is, it's supposed to actually be rather obvious she isn't Marth, in-universe. Even the characters pick up rather quickly on the fact that a lot of things don't add up and she isn't doing that good a Marth impersonation, Falchion or no. Also, Vaike time, best time.

Looking at some of the English Localizations: Falaflame is Valflame. Jerome is Gerome. Loran is Laurent. Chambray is Yarne. Good Growths is Aptitude. Magnificent Flame is Ignis. Crimson Curse is Anathema. Swanchika is Helswath. (  )Secluded Lady is Demoiselle. Il is Waste. So much greatness contained in one game... I'm actually somewhat jealous of you Americans now. So I'm mostly trying to think of what my main team will be, once I get it. Chrom, Avatar, and Lucina will certainly be mainstays, and so will Morgan... and that's as far as I've got.

I have to say that I'm kind of in love with the localisation, and it makes me want to email Vincent about reworking the FE12 patch since it hardly compares. Also Lucina is totally the coolest and I'm not entirely sure why I'm so sure of it but I am.

So Valflame works fine. Gerome is in fact a real name. A French painter's surname was also Gérôme, and I suppose that's why he's named Gerome, to match Cherche.

I guess this is kind of weird, but the only thing that really interests me about this game is seeing how they localize the names of characters from older Fire Emblems. edit: Ichival is Yewfelle. Balmung and Gungnir are the same. Sir Ilpalazzo fucked around with this message at 10:42 on Jan 31, 2013 |

Has the first set of streetpass characters gone out, or will that not happen until the 4th? In Japan the first set was FE4 first gen, but I presume they'll swap the order around so we get FE7 or something instead.

Folt The Bolt posted:From Serenes Forest: Well, the first one doesn't really bug me and the new etymology is neat, but I still find rather weird to change a perfectly valid name. I wonder if they'll change it back for the french version, though, because while I know quite a few Jérome, I never met a Gérome. Oh well. Game's still balls.

Well poo poo, it sounded so much like Roger Craig Smith to me, that I forgot Matthew Mercer existed, now I feel kind of bad because he's a pretty good VA. Oh well, thankfully since this is a Nintendo game they're actually gonna credit the VAs.

VVV Goddamn slightly dissimilar names!

Does the goonmind have consensus on when it's best to promote/reclass? Level 20, or after getting the second skill of a class?

Mordecai posted:Does the goonmind have consensus on when it's best to promote/reclass? Level 20, or after getting the second skill of a class? My gut feeling here is that it might be better to reclass ASAP, because then you'll be storing less levels and thus your EXP gains will be hampered less in your new class, but I don't know exactly how that stored levels system works so I could be completely off here. Another factor would be whether the class you're in has growths that complement your end vision for the character.

I would guess that if you're on normal difficulty (where stored level cap is 41, I think) you would want to change as soon as you hit the second skill, until you hit the cap, at which point going all the way to 20 won't hurt and would actually make your stats higher (and therefore progress easier) in subsequent classes. I know on Lunatic the cap for stored levels is something like 91, so you won't hit that cap for a long time, so I'd reclass soon as it's affordable, really.

I was told it's better to hold off longer on reclassing, at least early on, because class change items are expensive. If you don't do the extra grinding you wont have the extra money to keep up. That apparently changes lategame though.

It's also worth factoring in weapon ranks, since an E isn't enough for iron weapons, just bronze. I'm thinking that if you want to reclass into a new first tier, it'd be best to do it at 10.

It also matters if you want to pass on anything specifically to the children characters and still have them usable. Their recruitment opens up about halfway through the game, but if you don't get Galeforce until the end of the game then they're pretty useless coming in at level 10 unpromoted with two chapters left to go and the difficult optional DLC months away.

So I've been playing The Sacred Stones (thanks ambassador program!), and I've gotten a few chapters in, I'm curious, are there sections where you can replay battles later on in the game? And thanks goodness I can get my Fire Emblem fill, I'm reconsidering my decision on playing casual mode because of it.

The only repeatable "maps" is the Tower that will unlock later in the game. It's basically a dungeon with 4 floors or so that fully unlocks about chapter 16 IIRC. It's the only FE that you can grind freely without using money or an arena.

What do you mean by "replay battles"? There are skirmishes on certain maps, and there are two locations designed to allow you to grind up your weaker members, but you can't redo plot chapters or anything.

I will never ever touch Casual Mode (well... maybe if I want a less stressful Lunatic run or something) but it doesn't hurt me in the slightest that it is there. It's like the Super Guide or whatever. As long as it is completely optional then I don't give a drat.

I asked this in the general FE thread and didn't get a complete answer, so here goes: Does Casual Mode change anything other than the omission of permadeath? I'm thinking I should choose it for a less frustrating experience, but was wondering if it lowers the ingame battle difficulty as well or omits other important features.

The only difference that I can find is that apparently beating the game on Lunatic Casual will only unlock Insane Casual, and you need to beat Lunatic Classic to unlock Insane Classic. Or so I am told!

The two above me are big fat liars, because Casual does change another thing: it allows you to save and keep going in the middle of battles, like in FE10. Other than that, identical. theshim posted:The only difference that I can find is that apparently beating the game on Lunatic Casual will only unlock Insane Casual, and you need to beat Lunatic Classic to unlock Insane Classic.
