not a bot posted:Because the added uses for pulse and teaching bonuses make the game way too easy. I think turning the gold/purple online tiles off and not upgrading the statues will go a long way in making the game better. I dunno, I find myself using the Pulses a lot more in the later maps with more "haha tricked you" moments popping up. It's not so much making things easier as it is stopping me from restarting the map using 99% of the exact same turn-by-turn strategy, save for the unit placement the turn that enemy reinforcements show up behind my team

Personally I think a game that lets ballistae crit is a game where it's not cheating to use divine pulse

I've only used divine pulse once and it was when the first monster showed up and I didn't realize it's AoE would do like fourty loving damage to everybody besides Byleth, Dimitri, and Dudue. Even then I probably would have just reset instead, except walking up to the boss in a spiral was super goddamn tedious and I couldn't be assed. I understand it's a QoL thing that just acknowledges how we are going to reset anyway when somebody dies so might as well just rewind to what caused it and save yourself 30 minutes, but I wish it was a bit more nuanced mechanics-wise.

Let’s say e.g. I want Annette to get good with a lance. Should I downclass her to soldier or paladin and use a lance in those classes, or should I keep her at warlock or gremory and use the lance?

You’re going to have a better time keeping characters in jobs they’re good at and using the teaching/goals system to power through the ranks of skills they're bad at

Individual classes really only impact the skills you have available and your base stats to a degree, so yeah there's nothing really stopping you from having any unit wield any weapon. Downgrading will maybe get her something like Lancefaire, which can be very good, but you have to weigh the cost vs something like x2 Black Magic Casts.

Jerry Manderbilt posted:wait do i have to hold onto my renown on this file to get a higher starting professor level in NG+ I'm fairly certain you get a lot of renown just for completing the game and that should be enough to max your professor level in NG+ and pick up a few other bonuses. Also all the sidequests reset and you can't donate to the Saint statues until you get that sidequest from Flayn, so like you're not exactly gonna be hurting for renown, you know?

The time jump is a really cool story device and i understand how hard it must be to write dialogue that can be used at two different points, that far apart, but it is absolutely loving hilarious to watch Byleth and Cyril have a conversation about cleaning the litter in the sanctuary in front of a giant pile of rubble and dirt

I think most if not all A-Ranks between members of opposite genders (and some within the same gender) end in a way that makes their potential paired ending a logical progression.

They also impact how fast the stat grows in battle. Like a Gremory will get 1 wexp every fight they use lances while a Paladin gets 4. Using weapons on a class that doesn't boost their exp is really slow and inefficient overall.

How should I handle battalions? Is there a good reason to level up a bunch of them? I have way more battalions than I know what to do with. Can I sell them? Is there a good list of what battalions are good and which are trash?

Tired Moritz posted:What's with the fish of mystery event? Worth skipping out on the rare monster? Rare monsters and the fishing events are all just nothings. The rare monster is just a slightly harder battle with a neutral monster enemy called King Of [fangs/wings/other stuff] and fish of mystery just means buffs when fishing. Basically don't worry about it. Hyper Crab Tank posted:You get like, twice the amount of renown you need to unlock A+ professor level just for beating the game. Don't hoard renown on your first playthrough. I ended up with 5000 and professor rank A+ costs 4500. Remember you can only buy stuff you've already unlocked so make sure you hit A+ first playthrough at some time. The only downside for me is that I've run out of cooking stuff Turns out you need time to build it up before you head out and do 10 meals

Is there a good list of what battalions are good and which are trash? Generally the higher the requirement to use a battalion the better they are. You can sell most of your seiros archers and infantry and whatnot after the timeskip, but you're going to start getting really good battalions with amazing skills like the fireball, group flame, focused lightning, stride, etc and its worth leveling up authority on your main guys so they can equip them. If you have a half decent lysithea, for example, and you get her to like B command and put a decent mage battalion with focused lightning on her she can instantly break all the shields on a beast in addition to gibbing anything else. (Lysithea is broken as hell and the best mage in the game, which helps) HOTLANTA MAN fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Aug 6, 2019 |

Also it is weird how some things aren't talked about in some paths but are treated as though you know what's going on. Death knight was already mentioned but Judith - she appears in part two of BE but I had no idea who she was really, she only means something if you've done Golden Deer. Lots of bits like that. It's not bad or anything, but some stuff I did want to know more about. HOTLANTA MAN posted:Generally the higher the requirement to use a battalion the better they are.

I just gave up with them, too much effort.

Someone said earlier that the Edelgard route felt rushed and I think I can agree with that. Feels like there's just...something missing in a way that goes beyond needing another perspective to find all the answers. I wouldn't be surprised if it was written last and so when certain plot points came up they said "do we need to re-explain this? It comes up in x storyline" except the things they chose not to explain don't make any sense both from a player perspective or in-fiction e: for example, Edelgard introducing you to her uncle, who genetically experimented on Edelgard which was the instigating moment for her to decide to overthrow the church and rid the world of the nobility. He's arguably as important to that plotline as Rhea is. But, when he finally shows up, she just said "oh this is my uncle, I told you about him. Well, bye.

Or at least like they came up with a good outline and then just stretched a thin bit of fabric between the outlined points. Like (medium spoilers, I talk about who the bad guy is on that route but no events beyond that) Dimitri gets a chance to talk to Edelgard and ask for her motivation and she just sorta...doesn't answer. She says she wants to end the cycle of the strong trampling the weak, but makes absolutely no attempt to clarify how conquering fodlan even remotely achieves that. It wasn't as bad as Conquest's constant "buy rev" poo poo but I definitely felt like the individual route, taken by itself, suffered from not being allowed to explain everything.

Like, why does she think the church is so evil when her uncle is a billion times worse? I was expecting the game to go for another six chapters like all the others where you transition into fighting Slytherin, but uhhhhh you don't ever.

Man the ai for the battle at grondar hill really shits the bed if you don't rush to the hill like it expects you to do. I parked all my units in the cozy forest next to my spawn location and let the blue lions slowly come towards my kill line (lysithea). After they were dead hubert rushed the rest of the black eagles on to the burning hill and just sat there until I killed them.
