Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Once you complete your first playthrough, how different will the 2nd with another house be? Are the missions the same? First half wise the missions are the same but the characters react to them differently. I'd say it's different enough to be worth it. You also feel more connected to your original characters since they're in every cutscene and etc. And when I say you I mean me. I am curious how they work if all your pupils die though.

Amppelix posted:By similar thing do you mean almost dying due to stupidity but saving herself with 2% odds, or? Well similar except she usually dodges instead of face-tanking, more about taking units out with crit counters... but everyone is always almost dying due to my stupidity (in her cases sending her out on her own to get chests). Otherwise how would they ever learn anything?

not a bot posted:Hot drat, that means most relics really are in Blue Lions. Spoilers about the 10 Elites relics specifically; The numbers are really oddly weighted; Deer Filnaught (Claude) Blutgang (Marianne) Frelkugel (Hilda) Thrysus (Lorenz) Lions Areadbhar (Dimitri) Luln (Ingrid) Crusher (Annette) Sylvain (Lance of Ruin) Eagles Amyr (Edelgard) Other Thunderbrand (Catherine) So Deer have the easiest path to 6 with F!Byleth poaching Sylvain - on top of that Lysithea can wield Thunderbrand at full power!

The previews saying recruiting students is hard are complete lies or the people playing the games weren't really Exploring very much... I recruited everyone except Leonie (I saved her for last. Oops.) on the BE route pre-time skip. Hilda is even recruitable on BE despite all information I could see otherwise, you just need to spend time with her until you get C-Rank Support then you can finally start throwing flowers/other gifts at her and take her on missions like everyone else. Also, (minor spoilers) I went Church Route and it was kinda weird that everyone (barring... Lorenz for reasons and also Ashe weirdly enough) you recruit just... shows up at the monastery after the first post-timeskip mission. I was kinda expecting them to slowly trickle back in to your group.

recruiting everyone is hard because it's not obvious that getting supports with the students with drastically reduce requirements and even then you don't get a decent source of gifts until chapter like, five or six, so your expectations are a bit cemented. in reality it's quite easy, though also gradually gets less and less worth it as you go along so it wraps around to being difficult enough again also entirely unnecessary as you can only use +3 at most

ZarquonHigardi posted:The previews saying recruiting students is hard are complete lies or the people playing the games weren't really Exploring very much Like I said previously it really depends who you decide to aim for first. It can easily give you the idea that it's MUCH harder than you realised. The Hilda one is just loving weird. Giving you her lost items but not letting you speak to her isn't a great way of explaining what you need to do. Especially considering the Dedue/Hubert situation. And yea it doesn't really make clear that you don't need the skills it talks about. It's just one of those things where it's easy to get lost with it and gently caress up.

30 hours in and finally got to Golden Deer post timeskip, immediately got inundated with supports whew. Got Claude's support first, and Claude says he wants to break down all barriers and unite everyone everywhere, but isn't that just setting up another large empire but dressed up in a nicer way? Does Almyra want to be united with Fodlan? Would he make that happen through force if diplomacy doesn't work out? The dream of breaking down all barriers and uniting the world after uniting the continent sounds like a lighter form of world domination.

god Stride is such an amazing gambit and giving +5 MOV to 5 of my units or so has really saved my rear end in the paralogues though who's a good candidate to use it? since i'd rather not keep it on dorothea since she's the dancer

Poaching students isn't too hard or anything but if you're not treating it as a high priority you probably won't pick up too many. I'm at chapter 10 and i've only got Dorothea and Leonie though I wouldn't be surprised if I grab one or two more before i'm done.

It really depends a lot on how much you explore and how much you try to raise supports with students in other houses, too. Harrow fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Jul 31, 2019 |

I don't understand Dorthea or however you spell her name She's a loving armored unit in robes. She nukes everyone anywhere on the map to death just by looking at them and if she gets swarmed she just [no damages] through everything. Like my actual warriors and physical units take damage but there has to be some kind of bug because she literally floats around just obliterating everything like some hell doomsday device

The dream of breaking down all barriers and uniting the world after uniting the continent sounds like a lighter form of world domination. I don't think he wants to unify Almyra and Fodlan, at least not immediately? I think he just wants open borders, not for there to be only one country in the world. Of course, he can open his own borders, but whether or not Almyra would open theirs is a different question.

The armor classes give you giant boosts to defense. Sylvain has a mediocre defense growth, but sticking him in fortress knight still made him an impenetrable wall for me.

Hm, maybe my Raphael's just had lovely level-ups. He's less durable than my Cavalier Leonie and not anywhere close to as mobile. Not sure if I want to keep going and get him to Great Knight or take a side path into Brawler. Or just bench him and field a knight or professor in his place, though that feels rude.

Fortress Knights lose their luster on hard mode part 2, because the offensive power+speed is enough that they still take 9-18 damage per battle from every physical attacker except bow users. At least for black eagles, I heard the other houses are easier.

Any reason not to give every character a battalion? At worst they're expensive, it seems the benefits just make it a non choice.

Nah, they're essentially buyable stat blocks (that grant even more stats as they level) + occasionally useful action. The only exception is Felix, who gets Might +5 with no batallion (or Adjutant), but at Authority D or C you'll get batallions that grant near to or more than +5 physical attack, plus other stats like hit or dodge, so still worth it. edit: beaten!

I'm kinda confused, so the "get X stats while using magic" skills, do they give the stats while actually using them, or just being in a class that specializes in them? (the white magic avoid one seems bad if it's using offensive faith magic)

I'm near the end of the game, and even a horde of assassins with silver swords can't meaningfully dent Sylvain's HP bar. In retrospect, I'm actually surprised that effective weapons are almost completely absent from enemy armies.

I feel like what made FE click for me was realising that dmg reduction isn't an armor stat but instead related to the weapon's Might stat, and if it's broken. Game is cool, wish SEGA did a new Shinning Force in a similar vein.
