Honestly the only major thing is that women can't punch well. The rest are mostly sidegrades.

(https://serenesforest.net/three-houses/ is the best site for actual game info)

You can get one woman who comes with sword and punch, that cant do the sword/punch class. If you know you can change path right away.

Not all the master classes seem better than advanced. For example, sniper and bow knight isnt necessarily an upgrade.

that's exactly what I'm working towards :ssh:

like Andrast mentions it sucks that she'll always be sub-optimal though, although it doesn't actually matter since I play on babby difficulty. It just really peeves me and is one of my least favorite things about JRPGs

Woah woah don't say negative stuff immediately after i bought it. Is there like a site or something that helps track this kind of stuff?
it's pretty much just that. All the other weapon types can be used by different jobs, but punchfists specifically only get class options for male characters.

e: female characters get the ultimate spellcasting class and male characters get the ultimate weapons class :biotruths:

also magic can only be used by classes that explicitly say they can use magic

The mounted master classes have negative speed growth as well. Going from Warlock to Gremory isn't necessarily an upgrade either since you lose tomefaire.

The flying classes and War Master are straight up upgrades though, which is pretty weird when you consider the rest of the classes are more specialist type roles.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Why haven't we seen another Tactics Ogre game? I'm super into Three Houses but its got me thinking a lot about Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (which shares the branching narrative, and ability to rewind turns). Bring Tactics Ogre to the Switch. And you know what, I've seen and heard a heap of Persona comparisons, but I feel like Trail of Cold Steel's academy is a better comparison to the monastery and calendar. Bring Legend of Heroes to the Switch.

Bring all games to the Switch.

Wasn't Ogre Battle 64 the last game of that series? I'd like to see it coming to the Switch, as our household back then switched to the PSX and we kind of barreled past the entire history of Nintendo after SNES, only occasionally picking up the handheld-consoles. I always wanted to try Ogre 64, but somehow never got the time for it, even with modern emulators available and poo poo.

So my sister isn't a very big gamer. I believe the last game she was really into was Animal Crossing City Folk for the Wii. She had a DS for that one game you use the stylus for but I guess the question I should ask is whether I should buy my sister a Switch for Animal Crossing next year. She really liked Animal Crossing for the Wii but I am just trying to figure out if this Animal Crossing will be just like that one? Should I get a Lite? Will the Pro Vers. be out at that time?

Do t get a lite, imo. The versatility to out on a TV is huge. You are limiting really yourself.

Animal crossing has some direct footage, see is she wants it!

There is other games in that series called Tactics Ogre, iirc the latest one is Let Us Cling Together on the PSP. Though OB64 was the last version of that type of Ogre Battle gameplay, Tactics Ogre plays more like Final Fantasy Tactics.

I do wish there would be something else like OB64. Sure you couldn't directly command your troops in battle, after a few attacks the battle would end, but dammit if didn't enjoy it. Felt a bit more like you're commanding an army, you'd need extra units to chase down runners and keep track of the AI trying something sneaky. Instead of just doing a beatdown with your main character being a ninja or some other OP class.

Went in on FighterZ. This game is totally holding my hand as baby's first really fighter for those who were wondering how hard it was. I'll bitch when I hit a wall in story mode cause the AI always starts kicking my rear end eventually. Though I have the 8Bitdo joystick which helps a ton.

As far as I can tell, theres a point where you can pick your character as gay or straight, and then a "romance" S rank will appear in the normal social stuff that goes CBA for most characters.(ex, my Male protagonist picked straight so there are S on some women on my team now) It tells you you cant pick those til after the game ends.

So enjoy 1 romance scene at the end of a 40+ hour game! (Maybe) most likely a happily ever after settle down sceen.

It's not a dating sim.

honestly my only big problem with FE3H so far is the gender-locked classes, which suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper sucks. I spent a bunch of time training Petra to punch stuff real good but oops it turns out female characters aren't allowed to punch stuff as the punch-focused classes are male-only. They even made Hero male-only.

Big dead zone on the left side, plus it register phantom inputs that make menus unusable and some games unplayable :D Nintendo's gonna charge me $180 for out of warranty repair and I'm gonna pay it cuz I had high hopes for hacking it lol. Wonder what the chances are that they send me back a refurbished patched model
