Ok gently caress it, I'm restarting my Hard game. I think I picked the wrong asset/flaw. I'm going to give +SPD/-HP a shot. I'm tired of getting double rounded by equal level pegasus knights.

Lotish posted:If there's one thing that bothers me about this game it's that Galeforce is not only clearly broken, but they put it on a flying (and magic) class, which are already powerful simply by virtue of flying (and moreso because magic in this game sounds really powerful). That just makes the one class absolutely nuts. Of course maybe there's flaws to actually sticking in the class that I don't know about, but it just seems overwhelming. Not outside of DLC. Galeforce is really good, but fliers are not only weak to arrows, they're also weak to wind magic (really common), and anti-cavalry weapons. Arrows are actually really common too, Warrior and Assassins pretty much all come with Bows, on top of the normal bow classes.

And anti-cavalry? So the fact that they're still mounted like all the cavs has finally been noticed by the devs, eh? Ha! I shouldn't laugh because I'll be needing to use them too, but I like that there are some stronger incentives to use foot units without effective weapon weaknesses. marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Feb 6, 2013 |

Why is Olivia even a marriage option for Chrom?

Serious Frolicking posted:Why is Olivia even a marriage option for Chrom? Because having Inigo as Lucina's sibling & member of the royal line is hilarious? But from a gameplay perspective, it's probably a "last chance" option if every other option gets married/killed and you don't want Lucina's father to be a random villager. Captain Oblivious posted:Why is Sully? Well with Sully (and Maribelle) they have the excuse of knowing each other since they were children.

No, meaning that Olivia is added on the last map before Chrom gets auto-married. The only way for them to get married is via a weird abuse of the mechanics.

I'm sure I'll find out soon enough but are there special support conversations in the event of grandchildren? [Edit: looks like Morgan can only have support conversations with her parent and other children. Oh well.] asecondduck fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Feb 6, 2013 |

Just spawned an Anna with a Second Seal. Oh gosh who to use it on? My Unit's based around strength, with res as a dump stat, so what would be a good path for him or any other character to take while I find Master Seals?

Should I be buying these seals every time I see them? I've seen both a Master and Second seal so far. How do you get more money in this? I'm at the point after chapter 4/5 where a bunch of stuff just opens up with no explanation so I am a bit lost.

I'm at the point after chapter 4/5 where a bunch of stuff just opens up with no explanation so I am a bit lost. You get money from Bullions, which some bosses/enemies drop, and can be found in some chests. You eventually get the ability to buy them from regular stores, so I wouldn't worry. If you want one before regular stores have them, there's almost always one Anna with one (or one will appear shortly.)

ChaosArgate posted:Do enemy characters recruited on hard mode get bonus stats like they did in FE7? It's based on how late they join, not whether they start as an enemy. Lategame joiners in luantic get absurd bonuses like +7 to all stats (and are still only ok, not great). This is presumably to prevent a situation like in FE12 where outside of normal mode nobody who joins after Merric is remotely usable.

Does Hard mode assume you'll be resetting for perfect level ups all the time? Cause otherwise I might have to restart my entire game on Normal instead.  How do I recruit the thief guy in Chapter 6?

With Crom, bait the thief with a weaponless character to get in range. Also, Hard Mode in the beginning is just abusing pair-ups until you get some Seals.

Thanks for the tips on the game and mission 5 earlier! Was able to finish it with no losses, finally, thanks to the Rescue staff and leveling up with a random encounter.

My local Gamestop in Ohio got the game in today.  It was open to pre-orders only though, I think.I was going to call them every day until they got it too. This saves me from possibly really annoying the employees as soon as they open!

Just stay out of his range and he'll move into yours, for an easy recruitment. Hard mode is definitely doable with normal unmanipulated levelups, but it's not designed for a new player in the series (no idea if you are or not). It's about as difficult as the non-bullshit parts of the hardest difficulty of FE7, for comparison.

It's really evil how (Chapter 11) that one fort is just inside Gangrel's Levin Sword range. I haven't tried hanging back by the bridges and bleeding the map dry, but good lord is this chapter an rear end in a top hat on Lunatic. I haven't really bothered with villages or chests since you can just grind out and buy whatever you need. I'm not sure if this is a mistake or not.

Just beat my first playthrough on hard. I made Morgan a sorcerer, and she was a god-drat wrecking ball. She didn't even need Nosferatu, considering she ended the game at 39 defense. Also, I'm curious, who were everybody's top three in kills? Somehow, Ricken took the top spot for me, followed by Vaike and my Avatar.

So Henry is the best character in the game. Just saying. I love terrible jokes/puns and lust for blood. Not only that, but he comes equipped with the best dark magic spell in the game (Ruin). So I turned him into a Barbarian to get him Gamble, then back into a Dark Mage and into Sorcerer. Trained up Olivia into an Assassin, supported her and Henry, and now when they pair up Henry's chance at critting with Ruin is 90%. I just did that with him completely on the fly. I can't wait to see what horrible monster I make once I beat the game and start planning out marriages and builds and whatnot. Please tell me you can buy more Ruin tomes.

Also my biggest disappointment was the my team was too solidified to fit Henry in when he joined. He's the best.

I don't get how anyone can hate Severa because she obliterates planets on a regular basis for me. Just behind Nah was Donny who hit max in everything but magic but the time I was done, and missed magic by a hair.

Severa is a terrible person and treats her dad like poo poo (but then again, her dad is Kellum so maybe I'm biased).

Severa was my daughter and she's just the worst (except in battle, where she was stronger then the Vaike). Don't marry Cordelia, nothing good happens down that path.

Actually maybe I should check on this: CAN Manaketes trigger things like Luna, Sol, and Ignis when they're hulking the gently caress out with their dragonstone? Because that's more or less what I'm going for with Morgan.

I'm super excited for my second playthrough, I didn't pair any units I wasn't using, so I still haven't met some of the kids. Apparently I missed out on the cool ones, because I still haven't met Owain.
