When I played this game I decided to do a permadeath no reset run since I heard Birthright was supposed to be the easier game, and in this mission Silas killed Azura so I had to play the rest of the game without a singer. Good times.

Felicia basically requires a reclass to be a decent combat unit, and even then she only tends to shine because 90% of the Birthright units are awkward to use.

Y'all are crazy Felicia is great. Any unit that can use hidden weapons are good, especially if they can heal as well. Give Felicia the Magic Shuriken and watch her be a Machine of Death.

In case it hasn't come up yet MiniFoo / Kuvo, if your pointer is over a friendly unit you can tap L to hop over to a different one, instead of needing to scroll to each unit. (Does it also filter by characters that have actions left? Can't remember off the top of my head.) e: maybe I should watch the entire ep before commenting, durrrrrr.

The Awakening shakeup to the old Rescue mechanic was pretty great, although the balance implications in Awakening were kinda bananas. Awakening was not a balanced game. It used to be the case (in the GBA games and I forget how far before that) that Rescuing was something a unit could do to another unit on their own turn, which would end their turn, and eat the turn of the Rescued unit, if it hadn't already been used. This made narrative and mechanical sense, because the idea was that you were picking someone up bodily and carrying them out of danger, and eating big penalties to speed, accuracy and evasion for doing so. It was difficult, but not impossible, to game this system; once you have Rescued a unit, you can also Give them to another unit (or Take a Rescued unit from another unit). Give ends your turn, but not the turn of the person you Give to! Therefore, it is possible to set up a supply line gambit and transport a carried unit the whole way across the map in one turn, if you really want to, and sometimes, you really did want to. The Radiance games switched up the stats involved in this process a little but the procedures were all still the same. (Tangent: The GBA games were really weird about rescue stats. Every unit had Con(stitution), to represent their build, and Aid, a stat that represented how heavy a unit they could carry. If your Aid > their Con, you can Rescue them. For footsoldiers, Aid is just Con - 1. For mounted units, Aid is 25 - Con for male units and 20 - Con for female. The implication is obviously that with mounted units it's the horse/pegasus/wyvern doing the lifting... but then why do female units, who are all lighter (which we know because they all have low Con) get less Aid? Do they just all have garbage horses? Anyway, in practice this doesn't matter a whole lot because the heaviest female mounted unit can carry all but the very heaviest footsoldiers but it's just weird.) Awakening shook this up by replacing Rescue with Pair Up, in which two units just hang out in the same space, with one nominally in the lead (and being the operational unit) and the other behind (being carried, for free, by the lead unit). The big difference between Rescue and Pair Up is that Rescuing requires someone to burn their turn picking you up, while Pair Up is basically just Giving yourself to someone (basically just like Advance Wars), and doesn't consume their turn, so they can immediately move you and unload you somewhere. There are no Con checks and no penalties for carrying someone. The tactical implications of that alone are huge, but on top of that, in Awakening, Paired units as well as adjacent units can also team up for attack and defense, while in Fates they seem to have changed it so that joined-up Pairs only get defense options and adjacent units only get attack options (and this is all on top of bonuses from Supports). This seems to me to be a good mechanical decision from Fates, because it now means that there can exist optimal strategies besides keeping every husbando and waifu paired up 100% of the time. Game design!

Also, as part of the pair-up mechanic you can also switch between the leading character, so that the secondary character can use their action. (Or just to swap so that the slower, ferried character can defend during the enemy turn. ) So Kaze could run over to Subaki, pair up. Subaki flies over to chest, uses switch, and then Kaze can use his action to open the chest. All in a single turn. While separate, as used in the end of the video, just splits them up again, but uses their action to do so. (Though this is useful if you're just explicitly ferrying a character.) You can only use switch as a post-move/stand still action though, I think, so you can't for example switch to the faster unit, move, then switch back. I'm pretty sure that part is still the same in Fates as in Awakening.

You got a Parasol? Lucky break- they're one of the few 1-2 range swords that can crit, and their nonexistent Might can be compensated for by putting it on someone with a lot of Strength (plus aforementioned crits). They're kinda my weapon of choice for Sword-users in Birthright. The Hair Pin, meanwhile, is pretty good overall, but can only be used by women... which kinda limits it to Felicia at the moment (no, I don't know why there're gender-locked weapons in this game either). Lanterns, on the other hand, are actually the Staff equivalent of a "joke weapon" - they've got reasonable healing for the early game (and a bit of extra range), but terrible durability (no, Fog of War is not, generally, a thing in Fates). DVP presumably stands for Dragon Vein Points, for the record. ...Well, shipping Saizo with Subaki is awkward, since Subaki is the first MALE Pegasus unit in the entire series. Feeding Lilith gives 1 full point in whichever stat is related to the food you give her, plus about half a point in everything else. Fair warning: Her caps are directly proportional to the level of her building. The Rat Spirit is basically a Tome-type weapon, and is equivalent to those Brass weapons everyone else is swinging around. Only real difference is that it's a magic-based attack. I'd explain the "adults" thing, but I should probably wait for a character that isn't classified as "adult" to join first. Spoiler policy, y'see. But yes, the Mess Hall just buffs your stats for one map. I'd recommend doing some Paralogues; they can give interesting rewards.

How is Dvac calculating the ships in this game is it just pairing whoever together and then marking that down in the spreadsheet? I ask because aside from putting Chome together with anyone he's related to, I'm wondering where bad ships are going to come from.

There's a bunch of apps and websites that will calculate shipping pairs for you. They're super handy if you're an insane min/maxer.

I'm not trying to be petty or anything, it makes me giggle every time. Also you can back out on map selection so if you were to go to a Paralogue or something and decide 'Nah, gently caress this' you can just leave instead of starting it.

My matchmaking formula in Awakening and Fates pretty much boils down to "which parent gives you good strength/magic and a class that can use it" because I don't have the time or the brainspace for anything more complex than that.

My matchmaking formula is exclusively "whose supports do I like best?" Yeah, I know, I'm a scrub. (This, incidentally, is why I always paired Sumia with Frederick in Awakening- he's the only support option she has that I don't hate the conversations for.)

Also a quick note: I had originally planned for each episode to be an entire in-game chapter but after coming to the realization that this means each ep is 70ish mins long I decided to chop them into "cutscene" and "gameplay" episodes instead. I figured this would make it easier for the people who are here for anime bullshit to more easily enjoy the lp without having to skip though 40 mins of me loving up battle tactics. If it helps I can mark each ep with what its about with an emoji or something.
