Calaveron posted:Your math is fine, it's just that each Fire Emblem cartridge comes equipped with the ability to bend the laws of probability and statistics so that each enemy's 28% chance to hit with 2% chance to crit actually becomes a 100% to hit with 100% to crit. No, I mean like, basic math. As in "Oh, this dude has 24 health. Sumia will hit twice for 14 damage total, and then Vaike will finish him off with a 8 damage strike  "

Nakar posted:By the way, for those curious: They fixed the Battle Saves from Radiant Dawn if you happen to be playing on Casual. RNG is locked in, so you can't keep reloading until you get a favorable draw. You have to actually use the RNs. Goddammit, they XCOM'd it.

I was playing FE8 recently, and had Vanessa throw a javelin at an archer because I thought my 11 damage would kill him with 13 HP. She ate a Steel Bow hit in response.  404GoonNotFound posted:Goddammit, they XCOM'd it. That's not new, that's how it worked in the GBA games before this.

This is my first Fire Emblem game, am I missing out on anything if I play casual mode? I think I'd want to save the permadeath for a second save file.

So is True Hit still in this game? It doesn't really feel like it for some reason. Got my first bullshit death last night when Lon'qu ate two 25% axe hits. Goddamn this game is so fun. I think so far literally the only thing that bothers me is that the localizers felt the need to make up weird names for side and DLC maps. Just call them sidequests and bonus quests, there's no need to make up weird words like "paralogue" and "xenologue". Fake edit: Technically they're real words but they're both terms used in genetics. Come on guys.

How do I level up characters that are level 1? Thats the only problem I'm having so far. The issue is that they die too easy, and I have classic mode on.

Sully and Chrom are the most rear end-kicking couple I've ever seen in anything. They're both at about lv15 now and Chrom's putting out about 30 damage per attack(and then usually attacking twice) and Sully's not too far behind. And they duo-attack like 70% of the time. It's so beautiful. Anything that comes near them just dies instantly.

"True hit" usually means 2-RNs due to a weird etymology (because the 2-RN system is the system where distinguishing "true hit" from "displayed hit" even makes sense). By "old games" I meant the really old ones.

I'm like three hours in, but I wonder if I should just restart and set it to casual for easy grinding. I'm like 2 1/2 hours in. It's not like I'm ever NOT going to restart when someone dies just to save them anyways. The only reason I did classic is because I wanted to play the older fire emblems eventually and wanted to be used to perma death

lelandjs posted:\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Oh thank goodness. I'll give that a try... after I get out of my current predicament, which is that I battle saved during Paralogue 9. After I moved my Chrom/Sumia team to be in Cynthia's range. And she attacks them. Every. Single. Time. Couldn't you just give Chrom's weapons to someone else so he doesn't counter attack?

So out of curiosity, what sort of pairings have you guys been doing? I think I'm going to go for Chrom/Sumia (maybe Olivia?) Henry/Olivia MU/Tiki Ricken/Nowi Vaike/Cordelia Gaius/Sully Stahl/Panne Virion/Cherche Donnel/Tharja Libra/Mariabelle?

Chrom/Sumia Avatar (F)/Lon'qu Stahl/Lissa Sully/Virion Frederick/Cordelia Gaius/Maribelle Nowi/Kellam Panne/Ricken Olivia/Vaike Donnel/Cherche Tharja/Henry Gregor/Miriel Some of these were through usage, others were just to link people. Some that ended up having cool supports that might be uncommon were Gaius/Maribelle, and Gregor/Miriel. Henry/Tharja was pretty funny too.

In this playthrough I'm just doing the supports that seemed the most interesting. I'm planning on filling out the support library at some point, the only hard part is Lucina's mother and sibling supports. Then, once the actually challenging DLC starts trickling, I'll break open the floodgates of optimized children.

Well, I see I will never marry Cordelia with anyone in future games if it produces the demon spawn called a daughter. Holy poo poo, she's annoying in the most bratty way possible.

I've only got two pairings right now. Chrom/Sully Stahl/Miriel Hopefully I can get everything going better as it goes along, but man I am lacking on my anime couples. Although I did put Vaike and Lon'qu together as my savage team of destruction and they are good buddies now.

Francis posted:As I understand it, StreetPassing with someone who doesn't have FE:A will generate a randomized team. You can tell which are which, I think, by the name of the army. If it's "Otherworld army" (or something like that) it's randomly generated. If it's "Ylisse army" or a custom name then it's not. Note that I'm not actually sure what the names are in the NA version, I just remember what they were in the Japanese version. e: ^^^ that pairing isn't even all that minmaxy. Chrom/Sumia, Chrom/Avatar and Chrom/Maribelle are all just as good. It's mostly for style points or because you like the pairing.
