You see, when a Mommy and a Daddy love each other very much, they get S rank in their support and open up a sidquest to recruit their child. The bottom-most skill is the one that gets passed down.

It's more like "When a Mommy and Daddy kind-of, sort-of appreciate the skills of each other on the battlefield they suddenly propose marriage."

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
My friend offered me his original 3DS for $100 about 5 or 6 months ago, so I gladly took him up on the offer solely for Fire Emblem. This is most definitely a system seller for me.

I only saved two and got a Seraph Robe, because gently caress those suicidal idiots, so there might be a better reward? A Seraph Robe is pretty good.

Yes.

A Sereph Robe, a Log, and... A Ladle.

Dual Block is a similarly nonsensical mechanic when you have, say, a peg knight swooping in front of an armor knight to block an arrow.

You can have a dragon riding a dragon paired up with another dragon riding a dragon. Fighting a dragon (or a guy on one). Quintuple the dragons in one fight versus any other Fire Emblem!

After all the talk of Best Buy selling/people buying/madness, I called my gamestop again. They must be getting tired of me, but they said that as of 1pm EST they had not gotten their shipment in yet. They're supposed to call those with a console/game bundle as soon as the shipment comes in, but I'm not sure how reliable that will be since it wont be an automated call.

One of the footnotes says that New Mystery (i.e. FE12) was the thirteenth Fire Emblem game. Did they just miscount or is there another Fire Emblem that isn't given a number? :confused:

Help a hero out!
Are there any guides handy for the systems that aren't from the first GBA Fire Emblem game (or at least some of them)? Like what specific advantages do I get from pairing units, or what makes a guy sometimes block a thing when standing next to them, or what is a "Dual Attack" and stuff like that. I mostly only care about the combat systems, since it's hard to experiment when you're playing on high difficulties with permadeath.
