Just stopping by to say that Lorenz sucks and I hate this dude. He’s gotten two levels so far that were both just luck + res and he gets doubled by everyone while just holding an iron weapon.

I've been playing this game a lot and I sided with the Blue Lions. Whoever said this game is sleepwalk-easy has something wrong with their brain, because the first real map was chock-full of enemies who were doubling my entire army. Except Felix, because apparently Felix does nothing but guzzle steroids when nobody else is looking. Also, Annette owns. I wasn't expecting anything out of her coming into the game, but she's a murder mage and every single one of her supports so far has been endearing, funny, or both.

I don't know exactly how it works, but after each action, hearts will pop up over the heads of everyone who got support points, and I swear it's like a 3-tile radius Also Byleth can gain support points by giving people gifts and answering quizzes because I guess this is Harvest Moon now

I'm mulling over getting this game this evening and wanted to ask two things: 1) Is the school stuff fleshed out, and more importantly, is it actually fun? 2) I was a little worried when they first showed footage that the increased scale of the battles when moving into big screens and HD would bog things down through more elaborate/time consuming visualizations. Has that been an issue for anybody? also i guess i wanna know if the dub and story are bad, like fates, or good (relatively speaking), like awakening

It's pretty neat to see people wandering about and doing what they do in their spare time. It's also somewhat streamlined, too. People kept talking about it as a day-to-day thing but it's really more of a week-to-week situation. Fishing, Gardening, and doing all sorts of other things in the area are heckin' fun as well. I don't know what you mean with the second one. If you're worried about animation length- they don't bog down the gameplay. If you're worried about framerate issues, there has been some stuttering and slowdown from time to time but it hasn't been anything too drastic imo.

Has that been an issue for anybody? It's just an extra layer of zoom in you can do. It's pretty confusing to use and I used it for maybe thirty seconds before I'd had enough. You don't have to use it at all, and just like every other game, you can turn off animations all together if you want. Also I'm on chapter 4 and the writing for this game is already better than just about any other game in the series, exception to the FE5 (and maybe 4).

A lot of the support gambits are really good and they're effectively free since you have downtime between each skirmish during battle. The heal one is pretty nuts since it's a huge chain heal that basically connects to anyone touching the initial unit. I think I once healed like 8 units at once with it. Another reason to increase your professor points as a priority is that you get more money.

Why/how is Dmitri forecasted to double attack my Bernadetta when he has 9 speed and she has 7? Also why did one character (Lorenz?) attack someone when they were not forecasted to attack anyone? EDIT: Sorry, I guess I don't mean forecast, I mean enemy intent? The thing that shows you what the enemy is going to do on their turn. mancalamania fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Jul 26, 2019 |

I appreciate that - Spoilers for Black Eagles- Edelgard's route is pretty firmly the Villain route. As she's essentially one of the main antagonists and even her own route has an option to not go along with her murder boner. Hilariously, I think 3H gave us what people were hoping for with Conquest, a route in which we're playing the bad guys.

I almost thought nobody made a Fire Emblem thread because I sorted by the Switch tag and didn't see one. Oh well. Time to go play the game and grind for maybe four hundred hours before coming back to this thread half a year later to talk about however creepy and unnecessary whatever the new waifu mechanic is.

Super early game question: does the choice of where Byleth is from matter at all? I'm guessing this isn't where you pick a house already, but I'm wondering if being from one region or another matters for decisions down the line or anything.

Hilariously, I think 3H gave us what people were hoping for with Conquest, a route in which we're playing the bad guys. From what I've read, it's less "villain" and more "extremist," though I guess that might just be semantics at a certain point. Her goal isn't necessarily bad and she's the only one who meaningfully fights the status quo, but her methods are probably far too brutal to be easily justifiable, and it's telling that she's always a main antagonist in any other route. For my part, I kinda regret having spoiled myself, because I'm having a very hard time choosing between doing Black Eagles or Golden Deer first. Reasoning, for other people who've read some spoilers: it seems like Golden Deer's story is sort of "separate" from the other two, which makes it hard for me to decide whether to do it first and have a chill adventure with my buddy Claude, or do it after doing Black Eagles and diving into the real country vs. country conflict stuff. It doesn't help that I've also heard (gameplay but not story spoilers) Golden Deer has more "interesting"/challenging map design than Black Eagles, which really appeals to me. It's probably just going to come down to a snap decision when I have to make it. I know I want to do both routes (hell, probably all the routes at some point) but it's tough deciding what I want my first run to be.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:are any of the house the good guys? Because from what spoilers I've seen all three of them seem to end up kind of evil. If the black Eagles are the most evil which one is the least evil? Or is it too early to tell? Spoilers for all three of the houses. I'd say Blue Lion's or Golden Der is the closest. But it's actually better viewed from an SMT perspective. Edelgard is Chaos. Dimitri is Law and Claude is Neutral. Edelgard wants to destroy the system and she doesn't care who dies in that path. Notably, there is NOTHING to be done to convince Edelgard to not be a murderer, hell she's the Flame Emperor, She's responsible for the school being attacked and kickstarting the plot. It wasn't 5 years later Edelgard decided on her revenge, it's Edelgard wanted her revenge from the start and didn't care who died to get it. Dimitri is Law. He wants to change how people are treated, but he wants to leave the system as it is. Notably, he even tries to spare Edelgard in the end, as far as traditional heroes, he's the best fit. Claude... Claude just wants his two friends to stop fighting and wants to keep people safe. As far as the big conflict goes, he doesn't actually care. All he cares is that the little person is getting caught up in it. and that his friends are out to kill one another.

This is a really big spoiler for Black Eagles and Blue Lions. I call Edelgard the villain because she's the Flame Emperor responsible for the attack that kicks off the games plot. It isn't just that she's the main antagonist of the other routes, she can be the main antagonist of her own route. It's not that her feelings aren't understandable, being a subject of the crest experimentation sure as poo poo gives her plenty of feelings about it, but that does not excuse her actions. As for which Route. If you can't pick, flip a coin. The game's not going anywhere.

What's making it hard for me is that I know which playthrough I want to be my "canon" playthrough, the one I see as the "real" one (specifically, that one's Golden Deer, most likely), and I can't decide whether that should be my first or last one. But probably first. And your description of the routes helped me decide, too, so thanks!

Harrow posted:Comparing it to SMT alignments made the whole thing make a ton of sense. I would also point out, and spoilers for both Black Eagle and Blue Lions Edelgard and Dimitri have history as lost loves/childhood friends/other emotional baggage. The conflict really is between them in the end of it. Hell Dimitri's stepmother is Edelgard's mother for that extra spicy FE not-incest. Claude really does feel like he exists as a sort of breather from the big conflict of the game. He's not really involved in the conflict on a personal level, he doesn't care one way or the other about the church. He really only knows these guys from school. So 5 years later he wakes up one day and someone runs in to tell him his two schoolmates are going to war with each other. Notably, no route has to wind up with Claude dead. but one of Dimitri or Edelgard must be dead by the end of all the routes. He wont join you if you survive, but I guess it's a showcase of your rear end in a top hat potential. If you kill Claude you're a monster.

Now I have to decide who else to poach (still haven't battled beyond the end-of-month mission). My professor level is enough to let me pick an extra character to "support" someone during battle, and I have 5 points now.
