Jerry Manderbilt posted:also do i have to actually pay more money to use all the ghosts mechanics and stuff The only nice thing is the exp boosts which are normally better than most fights on the map. The items are all irrelevant garbage So yeah it boils down to "Do you wanna pay real money for an extra three or four levels combined of exp"

Christ, this game causes some mega choice paralysis. How many characters should you generally focus on? Should I spread my tutoring across all my faction-mates, or is there a certain number of characters who tend to be needed for missions? I had this issue in past Fire Emblem games, but it's even worse in this since there are additional ways you can train up your characters other than battle (and currently there is no way to grind, as far as I can tell). It will help a bit if a grinding DLC is released. Also, is there a limit to the number of characters you can recruit from other factions? And is there much downside to recruiting no one at all? The fewer characters I have to manage the better IMO, and since I plan on doing the other routes foe the story it's not like I won't get to meet the other cast members.

Ytlaya posted:Christ, this game causes some mega choice paralysis. 2) The game has slightly more deployment slots than you'd need for just the students in your house, but you do get some neutral characters who can fill those slots, and the Teachers are very easy to grab since they just want Byleth to be a high level. There's also some paralogues that only unlock if you have the character in your house, but of course you'd get those on the other routes. IMO grabbing one or two seems like the 'intended' method. 3) There is no limit but you have to minmax super hard to get a ton.

Ah, it's good to hear that it's apparently not too hard to get characters the skills they need. As an unrelated gameplay thing, I still don't understand why this series insists on random stat increases on leveling. I don't see any point to it, and it's always painful when characters repeatedly get garbage level-ups. Is the idea to just have some characters become "randomly" stronger/weaker? It's funny how the house leaders' main retainers are all like "yeah, Dmitri/Claude/Edelgart is basically a sociopath."

Okay, it's chapter 6 for me now and I've only poached Cyril from the students and faculty. Should I be working harder at this and is there anyone out I should be trying to scoop up as a superior Blue Lions player? Also Cyril has leveled 3 times, and Mr. Aptitude gotten 3 Luck and a single point of Dex, Res and Cha each. I am kinda losing my mind about furiously hard some of my dudes are lagging compared to others. Also Ye Olde Medieval Illustration Stag, NOOOOO!

I've basically only seen the various C supports of the Lions, but I like how a good half of each characters supports really do seem to go to pretty interesting places about their history or their relationship with other characters and the setting. It's welcome after the last few games, like there's a real effort behind a bunch of the supports.

Megasabin posted:How do you make gauntlet work? It just seem weak compared to lance/axe/sword? Maybe the hawks don’t have anyone suited for it? Is there a poachable character who excels at gauntlet? Old post but I wanted to say that Felix is punching the poo poo out of everything in my game. His special ability lets him occasionally hit harder with regular attacks and he's naturally speedy. I like to buff his attacks even more with Annette's Rally skill. Not sure if something is going to outscale him later but he took the first big boss from full to zero health in one attack around.

I've been mostly ignoring Sylvain during combat because I hate him but he had a surprisingly nice support interaction with Dedue so I might actually start investing in him now.

The voice acting is very good, too. Manuella's in particular is just fantastic. I'm very glad that we got full supports with VO, I was worried after Echoes that they'd be fairly truncated but turns out having the full force of a development team making a ground up game comes with some perks!

I unlocked the first few advanced classes and the mage ones at least have some pretty great bases. My character who already doesn’t take damage from magic attack’s gained 6 Res and then 5 Def on top of that.

Also even if you're just delivering lost items and having the occasional meal to boost Professor points you can recruit so many people. Which is great because they tend to bring stuff like stat boosters and money.

I'm facing mastered classes and let me tell you, Darting Blow is going to be incredibly annoying for the next 12+ chapters I'm predicting. Also this free-for-all fight is probably a hell lot easier depending on how many you poach to cripple their army.

Mild character support backstory spoilers (this is from like, a B Rank.) I was like 'haha yeah bernie your dad does sound like a bit of a dick' and then she progressed from 'marriage pressure' to 'tying her to a chair and forcing her not to speak no matter what.' jesus. I kind of dug that they went there in a way that actually made sense for her character, but man that was out of left field. Makes me worried what Marianne's deal is.

This has to be the saddest FE game in a while. It seems like there's no good path no matter what. And no word on a good path from a DLC. (Yes I care a lot about happy stories. I only played Revelations for Fates because I wanted Azura to live.) I may take a break from this for awhile. In the meantime, I'm reminded of this post on another forum: https://forums.serenesforest.net/index.php?/topic/83718-japanese-title-of-the-game-its-meaning-elaborated/ Which says Japanese name of the game can be traced back to this old Chinese poem: 寄殷協律 五歲優遊同過日,一朝消散似浮雲 琴詩酒伴皆拋我,雪月花時最憶君 幾度聽雞歌白日,亦曾騎馬詠紅裙 吳娘暮雨蕭蕭曲,自別江南更不聞 That forum post only translates the second line, which contains the characters for the Japanese name of the game. That translation is slightly off. And if you translate the entire poem, it's an incredibly sad poem. Here's my best attempt to translate the entire thing (with the help of a modern vernacular intermediate translation of the Classical Chinese original): To An Old Friend Five years of carefree fun felt like just a day; one morning it all disappeared as if it was fog. Those friends who played, wrote, and drank with me all left me now; and it's times like this that I think of you the most. So many times, we woke up together to the morning call of roosters; so many times, we rode horses together and wrote poems about pretty girls. I hear the mournful melody of the songstress through the twilight rain; and once again remember that ever since I left, I've heard nothing from you. So while the literally meaning of the Japanese name of the game is Wind-Flower-Snow-Moon, the actual meaning, if you go deep enough, refers to "times like this," times where you feel the melancholy of 5 years of good times passing quickly, and suddenly coming to an end, abandoned by old friends, forced to leave a beloved place, and missing your loved ones. I think it reflects the themes of the game very well. I'm going to go drink. sincx fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Jul 28, 2019 |
