ColonelJohnMatrix posted:I am absolutely loving the poo poo out of this game. It's going to go down as my fave switch title, no doubt. Been trying to get into FE games for years but they couldn't hook me. This has grabbed me so hard! My personal feeling is that the Beginner classes abilities aren't really that good and losing out on them doesn't matter much (maybe in Hard, not on Normal) Intermediate has much better powers and there's a few that I wouldn't want to lose, like the one for the Dark Mage. So what I'm saying is switch to Intermediate as soon as you can, gently caress the abilities. But stay there until you can learn the ones from Intermediate unless it's becoming a serious struggle. The statues will let you get 2 class points per attack and get you levelling the classes really drat fast if you make sure you pay the renown for them.

Hyper Crab Tank posted:Also the more I see of Sylvain's supports the more I warm up to him. Same with Ferdinand, really. They both seem like they would be really obnoxious turds when you first meet them but they're really not. Yeah, it's really great how much nuance and depth the cast have compared to some of the more recent entries in the franchise. Judge Tesla posted:Not a problem if you picked Xavier. Or Farnsworth. "Good news, everyone! Our mission this month is to help the Knights of Seiros slaughter a group of peasants for heresy, as a demonstration of what happens when you defy the church!"

Even though it was probably obvious from the start, I'm so glad skills like Aegis and Astra made a return.

Well, upon finishing the February battle all I have to say is, uh, that's some good grip strength you've got there, Dimitri. And wow do we need to get you some therapy. Also regarding Dimitri, if you're playing Blue Lions make sure you get his and Felix's B support, as it gives you what is basically a souped up silver sword - it can be further forged too (ultimately becoming a 16 Mt, 8 Wt sword not tied to crests).

Taear posted:I've done one that was like that and one that turned into a Silver Sword. You can check it before the battle to decide if it's worth it or not. Accept the battle, check the map, press X on monster and X again to get details. Select the rusted weapon and it will tell you what it can be forged to. If it's crap, just leave the battle screen and do another battle instead.

I know you can check what the enemy drops but not that you could go further with it like that.

probably a dummy question but as someone who really enjoys tactical rpg gameplay (disgaea) but really hates anime (also disgaea) and romance sim stuff should i get Fire Emblem? is the game still fun if i generally just skip through the story stuff?

Lorenz is pretty handy with a spear and fire magic. He wants to focus on horse and spear but is there anything I can put him with to utilize the magic as well as the physical?

Hey so important question for Black Eagle 2/8 Edgelgard wants me to go with her to Enbar, I know about the route split and the giant DRASTIC CHANGE warning is on screen. If I say I must stay can I save a new file and make the choice again?

Holy or Dark Knight seems like a good path to take him on I just got to the end of Chapter 12 of the Black Eagles: Edelgard's plan of going to kill religion and create a meritocracy seems cool, Rhea turning into a dragon is nuts, can't wait to see what the chaos route is gonna do. I got a good laugh out of Hubert teleporting in like every good dark mage should

Fire Emblem is so head and shoulders above Disgaea in terms of actual SRPG gameplay that if you can stomache the atomic-grade anime in disgaea this will be a piece of cake Just emulate the GBA games instead though they both have more tactical depth and they emulate 90s anime instead, which is never what people mean when they say they hate anime

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know that you should definitely start playing hide and seek with your online visitors if you aren't already. I'm not entirely sure how the rewards are determined, but earlier I got a really cool battalion that gives boosts to both attacking stats and a boatload of hit, with a gambit that grants adjacent allies a one time guaranteed miracle effect.

I'm glad normal mode is easier because I don't think I'm in the proper mental space to fully immerse myself in these systems and I just want to be able to smash my action figures together without being perfect in how they are trained.
