irlZaphod posted:Is Luthier Lucas? I don't have Excalibur, whatever that is. Did you go to the village on the way to the fortress? You can recruit a mage there who is a pretty mediocre unit but he has the spell Excalibur which is a free +30 to crit. If you haven't done that definitely go there, there's a forge to upgrade your gear as well.

No because the game was like "WE HAVE TO GO KILL DESAIX NOW" I was thinking of hitting the village but decided not to. Maybe I'll just reload and do that.

The game heavily rewards you in general for going to all the optional places first. There's no actual time pressure at any point

Is there any punishment for using the Turnwheel, or conversely, a reward for not using it besides bragging rights? I mean, it's too late for me if it is because I swear crit and hit rates are brutal in this game and I wasn't resetting a map because the boss rolled double 3% crit.

There's also the reward of not having to reload a save if the CPU scores a lucky crit on you and kills one of your units.

Is there a way to get the battle screen to show all stats and damage like both the other 3DS FE games? Also, I just got to chapter 3 and not too long ago encountered my first Titan and, soon after, an Entombed. Holy cow, those things seriously got gimped in the coming millennia. I hope Alm's army gets some good ways to mitigate Terrors soon. Otherwise, I'll just trade the Blessed Sword over.

 I felt like that area felt empty before. I did not face any Anti-Flier grunts until near the end of chapter 4 in normal mode. Is Echoes Hard based on OG Gaiden? I'm curious about the difference. The two archers on that red circle are straight up not there on normal.

/Update%2010/8-fe2ch1pt09img0090_stitch.png) /Update%2010/9-fe2ch1pt09img0110_stitch.png) neither normal nor hard seem to be exact recreations of FE Gaiden in terms of enemy placements/stats. FE Gaiden lacks those archers in the circle, but Echoes Hard lacks the number of soldiers on the right.

Too bad about Celica's brain falling out in the last third of the game. The plot and character motivations felt really good up until the final stretch when suddenly Celica becomes an incredibly naive moron, Jedah switches from reasonable baddie with a goal to generic boring bad guy, the Emporer reveals his nonexistent "plan", and Berkut does whatever. What in the world was up with Berkut's ending? The dude who murdered his wife gets Alm telling him how much he loves him as family and his murdered girlfriend doing the same, it's a redemption ending without any actual redemption on his part. Dude did have a great giant ham of a voice actor though.. I'm guessing the writers were shoehorning in the original ending, because everything felt pretty grounded until the crazy end.

I am disappointed to hear that. Also it is amazing just how much of a jackass Celica's dad was. The evil chancellor should have been paraded through the streets as hero for killing the king.

A lot of that stuff was bascially invented for the remake. Berkut and all flatout didn't exist and the whole Celica drama was more her just being outright overpowered by Jedah than willingly going with him. Specifically, he says 'Come with me if you want to help Alm,' Celica follows, then he just springs a trap on her, there's no 'you must specifically agree to be sacrificed.' Heck you know how in Echoes it's implied Celica's entire party has been fighting while waiting for Alm to arrive? In Gaiden the same implication is there, but Celica's included in that. Rudolf's plan was still dumb, though. Endorph fucked around with this message at 15:28 on May 30, 2017 |

I love how at one point Jedah (endgame spoilers) starts laughing about how once Celica is sacrificed Duma will regain his sanity and usher in an age of chaos, when Rigelian society has always been portrayed as extremely orderly and overly regimented if anything. I really think they completely lost the plot in Act 4.

Inverted Sphere posted:So as somebody who kind of likes mindlessly grinding sometimes as a way of downshifting after a rough day at work, how's the grinding DLC for Echoes anyways? Come to think of it, how's the DLC in general? I enjoyed the XP grinding DLC. The hard one has some interesting map gimmicks with crumbling doorways between the north and south sections. Grinding with the DLC felt more fun than just repeatedly skirmishing. If you really like slightly improving your growths, equipping shards from the item DLC instead of weapons or shields does that for you. Overall, I enjoyed Valentia. Some rough patches here and there, most notably Celica's increasing tendency to make really dumb choices later on, but the writing was solid, the voice acting was enjoyable enough that I actually wanted to listen rather than skip through, and the reworking of a lot of systems compared to more recent games made everything feel surprisingly novel.

In the original gaiden every few steps alm took in the final dungeon you'd get a popup saying something like "Catria took 2 damage!" and then in the final fight Celica's army would be a bit beaten up. It didn't make a huge difference because Tatiana could just fortify it away trivially but it added a lot of atmosphere and I was sad to see it gone.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:There's an option called combat forecast, if you switch it to "Simplified" then the numbers in the forecast and battle screen become hit/dmg/crit like in most of the recent games, instead of hit/atk/def/crit which is dumb.

The hit/atk/def/crit option is only really there so they can have hit/atk/def in bar form like Gaiden did. There's no other reason for it to be that way.
