i'm going to play 6, because I've played that much less than all the other games, barring the ones I don't like

Tae posted:The 1st part of radiant dawn is worse than I thought. As in half the team being utter poo poo and the other half is good except you almost immediately get 5 people that are instantly better so why bother with the dawn Brigade outside of Nolan. With the way that bonus EXP and levelups worked you could game yourself a pretty strong character. You always get 3 stat gains in your highest growths when leveling up with bonus EXP, and it skips a stat if it's already maxed out. So you take someone like Edward who will probably max SPD/SKL first, and then you just spend bonus EXP until he maxes out another 2-3 stats. I never really focused much on Edward but he's definitely a viable lategame Trueblade.

The problem with Edward is that Zihark exists, who has Earth affinity and can actually not die easily. RD is weird because it is either the easiest or hardest beginning of a game. The hardest if you try to spread out your EXP which results in risky attacks because Edward/Nolan are the only reliable attackers. Shortly after, you get Sothe/Zihark/Jill who are all very good and endgame units. Unlike most games which kinda punishes you for using the super stat characters, it's actually encouraged because of the turn count for BEXP. It just feels like if I want to get over using the Dawn Brigade section quickly, just use Sothe, then Vogus, then the trio, then the Queen/Black Knight.

I doubt they're going to do the kid thing again but I hope they have missions you don't have to do in a set order. One of the things I like about Awakening is that you can do most of the kid missions whenever you want so you don't have to progress through the game in the exact same way each time.

I did the statue priest trick in an attempt to see if I can make Leonardo useful. 50 turns and a promotion later he is still loving garbage, why does the Dawn Brigade exists why why why.

^^^^ Leonardo's biggest advantage is the Lughnasadh bow he gets in part 3. Without that there's no reason to use him over Rolf or Shinon who are almost guaranteed to become disgustingly overpowered. Volt Catfish posted:Speaking of, the last chapter you use the Dawn Brigade is is Really loving Hard. I dunno, it felt the first few times I tried it, that it would be seriously impossible to progress. That is, unless I just abused the black knight being there as much as possible. Ultimately I didn't, but still. No that chapter is really hard, and pretty much any unit who's not already a tier two class is going to be in constant peril.

The last Dawn Brigade chapter is a goddamn slog and Nailah's going to be stealing most of the kills because no one besides her and the Black Knight can kill anything without being in immediate danger of death.

Is the last Dawn Brigade chapter really that hard? I don't remember ever having too much trouble on it and I never used Black Knight or Nailah because it just felt like cheating. The only time I feel the Dawn Brigade really struggle's is in their chapters in Part 3 and that may just be because I generally try to recruit Zihark and Jill back to the Greil Mercenaries because I like the dialogue. I mean, not that the Dawn Brigade don't suck most of the time but unless you take them to the endgame I don't think they perform too badly.

Authority stars really gently caress the Dawn Brigade over. Last I played FE10 I remember in 1-E most of the team aside from BK and Nailah had pretty shaky hitrates and the team was pretty fragile, even after busting the Seraph Robes on Jill.

If you only give her kills sparingly though she's good for the whole game because Thani is just so good that even if you have her underlevelled she can still hold her own. And of course extra exp means that you can give her a few much needed levels immediately after her promotions. Fire Emblem needs more mage Lords.

To be fair, Roy is basically a conscientious objector for like 80% of FE6. That's pretty close to a healer.

Very simple reason for no Priest Lord, IntSys tries very hard to never render the PC in an "Unwinnable" state, thus even if everyone else was killed your Lord would still be able to fight. a non-combatant lord could potentially render an unwinnable state

Dark mages having high defense as a class feature but their character models being shirtless is very silly.

Chrom and Robin are both Game Over states.

There's no Warp or Hammerne, Rescue barely exists and enemies aren't really dangerous enough for sleep to be all that useful. She can heal but vulneraries have 8 uses and heal 20 HP so that's not even all that useful.

I remember I made my first avatar a dark mage because I was expecting her to get a badass set of robes. Really I just wanted to see a model like this in 3D;  I was confused and upset when I got the exact opposite

e ^^^ Oh hey.Doctor Reynolds posted:Dark mages having high defense as a class feature but their character models being shirtless is very silly. I was seriously pissed (moderately annoyed) when the design for Sorcerers was revealed to not be half as cool as Druid's. Sleepy Owl posted:the obvious solution is to make staves that can kill people Bring back Berserk. I've always been a proponent of tougher grunts in FE so that things like debuffs would be useful.

In Awakening, other than the base game, are any of the DLC or beyond-vanilla-game-things free? I know the post-endgame content costs money, right?

There are a handful of stages which are available free from the SpotPass menu, they unlock when you get access to the final stage and let you recruit the prominent villain characters of the game. Beyond that and being able to battle and recruit Avatar verisons of past FE characters, the extra content is all paid DLC.
