Mordiceius posted:I think the Golden Deer perspective can make more sense than the Blue Lion perspective. For Golden Deer, it could make at least some sense that the Kingdom attacks you because at this point, Dimitri basically is a crazy person. But when going from Blue Lion, it makes zero sense, because Claude, despite being a bit of a joker, has always been the most rational of the three of them. The only problem from the Golden Deer perspective is that Dimitri is believed to be dead right up until this very point, so it's not like the route has any time to establish him beforehand as a crazy person. He just suddenly is. And that map was totally meant to have fog. I mean, the cutscene right before has them make a big deal about it. But as you say, fog maps also suck.

Fog maps suck in Fire Emblem because of the way Fire Emblem handles Fog of War. See: the Marianne paralogue. Since Fire Emblem doesn't disperse fog until you end your turn, you can't move into fog and attack what is there. So what results is you run into fog, get stopped because you're standing next to an enemy and then just sit there while they hit you. I don't know how to solve this. They clearly do this so you can't just freely scout out areas, but it also loving sucks. FE just shouldn't ever try to do fog of war at all. It doesn't handle it well. If they want to make "surprise" fights, just make it so that if someone is hiding in bushes, they're 100% invisible unless you're right next to them.

Fog maps are ok if you have everyone with a Torch, changes how they play a bit But then also why would you give everyone a torch for like the 3 fog maps

Didn't they get rid of it in Fates and then some were just absolutely broken They actually did the opposite with Magic where it was limited use in Fates and unlimited here (but limited uses per battle). I was wondering why stuff like Warp felt so much more broken in this

Fates ended up giving all the weapons a bunch of fiddly little modifiers that were a pain to keep track of. Three Houses instead uses the weight system as a much more consistent way to express the tradeoffs between different weapons.

For anything that can be repaired with easily acquired materials (smithing stones), managing weapon durability is just a chore. I'm never going to run out of money to repair my Iron/Silver/Steel weapons, ever, so the only time durability ends up mattering for those weapons is when I get ambushed by it in the middle of a mission because I neglected to trudge through the annoying chore of going into menus and checking everyone's weapons. It's much more of a relevant thing for weapons that require Wootz Steel or Mithril, but then again you can go an entire playthrough without ever repairing those and still handily beat the game, so  They even doubled down on durability by making combat arts use it as payment, but combat arts fall off in effectiveness so quickly as it is, and it's not like you're ever going to use expensive weapons with 20 durability to do your -5 arts anyway.

Eh you can buy and once you get the extra 2 shops, easily repair/forge killing weapons. Which is all I really care about anyways. They could have done more with it though. Maybe add another option to the calendar called weapon maintenance, which has your units restore their weapons. It could also raise the weapon rank.

Yeah, the inventory is a bit of a sign of how this isn't the same studio as usual. Awakening had probably the best inventory management in the series. Auto sort, you could use items from the convoy, and there was a button to refill charges on your gear by combining the half-busted stuff. Here, it's just clunky.

I put off updating my gear/abilities/skills as long as possible because I have to go through six different menus to cross reference which abilities people are using with which weapons they're having with which skills they have points in. Every time I'm like "Welp, I guess I should do a full update." I have to sit in inventory/shop menus for an hour to get this worked out.

You can kill this enemy RIGHT NOW and get your cavalry past the choke point and get rid of that archer targeting a flyer, but you’re using a huge chunk of your durability for something that is meant to last pretty much the rest of the game so you have to think about it. I think it’s the kind of thing that would be more obvious if the game was harder

I'd like to see a system in FE where weapons don't degrade, but you also can't buy them and they are fairly rare. Everyone would start with their weapon of choice or whatever, but then occasionally you'd get a Silver Sword off a dead dude in a map or something. No weapon shops, no inventory bloat. Everything gets used (ideally). I guess that makes it a bit closer to Shining Force (except you can buy weapons in that). All I know is my inventory was absolutely full of garbage and repairing is kind of a pain. And you cant even buy smithing stones and such during a battle screen so running out is tedious if you didn't plan your Monastery time better.

Supremezero posted:Rather than inevitable I think it's kind of weird. There's a bunch of support related things that change based on your route, why can't they change on pre- or post-timeskip? They do, actually! In fact, if you go to the support log from the main menu, it'll let you choose which version of the support you want to see. For example, I've only cleared the game once, but if I look at Ingrid and Byleth's B(?) support, I can watch either the pre or post timeskip version, despite only seeing the pre-timeskip version in actual gameplay. I suspect that same menu will let you choose which houses' version to see, too. Which means that Ignatz painting the rubble is, in fact, the 100% intended and canon version of that support.

Hot Take: Ingrid is a butt. Claude Support: She bitches him out for coughing Bernadetta Support She literally rips Bernie's door off its hinges and carries her to the training ground. I wish their B support was Ingrid feeling like an absolute poo poo when she learns how Bernie came to come to the school

I dunno, I think the ability to just double everyone kind of sinks combat arts and it's especially so for Byleth and her monster stat growths. It's just not worth it spending 3 (or 5) durability on an attack that ends up being weaker than just hitting twice with your regular.

It's just not worth it spending 3 (or 5) durability on an attack that ends up being weaker than just hitting twice with your regular. There are a few that are absurdly powerful to make up for it (Like Edelgard's relic weapon combat art giving her a full turn refresh and letting her move and attack again) or that have utility (like the bow ones that give extra range or the ones that are just movement like shove etc). Most of the others are wildly undertuned and useless though. I really hope they ditch combat arts moving forward or make them more just utility stuff. They really don't fit well with how FE combat works.

I appreciate the effort trying to give you more options in combat and I think it could work, but besides the ones you mentioned they just don't hit the mark. Maybe doubling is just too good. Maybe doubling should be a class feature? I don't know.

Combat Artes are very useful against enemies stronger than your units. When you can't double or can't hit your foe they're very valuable, but uh that's not a common occurence. You've basically got the Death Knight and other students where they come in most useful, and that's not a whole lot of targets. E: Doubling is only super good in this game because most enemies are slow. It's a bit more fair when you're getting doubled as well.
