I'm pretty sure anyone complaining about the DeathKnight already knows to apply Lysithea to the problem. It's tremendously frustrating when you talk about a problem you're having for people to just assume you're being a moron instead of genuine. Enbarr VW is a nightmare until you know what's going on with the same turn reinforcements. If you clear the to the top right area of the map with your team and then spam end turn the reinforcements on the map will all spawn by around turn 10 and come at in you packs of 3. You brutally murder them and then proceed reinforcementless through the map. That way you have all the time in the world to set up killzones on the Death Knight and Hubert.

lol thank you Yeah I was trying to rush the commanders because the dialogue was like "The reinforcements will be too much for us to handle" so knowing that I can actually take them at my leisure makes things more reasonable

Random Abyss-related question: During the Remire Village chapter, there's a merchant in Abyss offering to sell me something "you can't find on the surface". I've tried a wide variety of gold amounts from 20k to 50k, but the merchant was not interested and poofed away after the conversation. How much gold do I actually need for this guy? Or does he come back later and I can try again?

I flipped through the thread randomly, but really just have to ask. I've never played a legit FE game, but I've played the poo poo our of FE Heroes off and on over the years since it was released, and just got back into it due to the pandemic. As always with Heroes, its good, but well grindy as gently caress. So I also recently got a switch as my first console since like PS3 so I could play pokemon, and my wife could play animal crossing. Am I going to like this game if I like Heroes? Is the battle mechanics similar? Are any "famous" FE characters in this game?

I also played Heroes first and yeah, the top-down battle strategy is the same but way more complicated in a good way. Playing FE:3H helped me appreciate all the random poo poo from Heroes a lot more.

SpaceCadetBob posted:Am I going to like this game if I like Heroes? Is the battle mechanics similar? Are any "famous" FE characters in this game? 1) Maybe? The main battle system is obviously similar enough, but it greatly varies beyond that. You have far more characters, far less grind, skills and weaponry are nowhere near as complicated, classes and gambits add a lot, etc. You'll have to test it and find out, but I'd definitely put the mainline FEs way above Heroes on gameplay and writing, so...I can't say for sure, but you'll probably like it! 2) As I said before, the battle mechanics are similar but have more complexity since you aren't meant to do maps quickly, a map can take a long time but are also very fun, and you have a lot of pre-battle stuff to do as well. Nonetheless, it's still a strategy RPG where you move your characters like chess pieces and have them kill each other, so you'll enjoy that. 3) Depends on your definition of famous. 3H has no returning characters from old games apart from the ever-present Anna (who isn't playable if you don't buy DLC and is also quite bad), but also 3H's characters have themselves gained their own fame at this point.

fire emblem games don't share a setting or anything (hence heroes' crossover stuff being a big appeal of that game) but there are three houses characters in heroes, so if you've played that in the past year or so you've probably seen a couple.

They explain the former, which actually tied into a map you've already seen and a bit of the local legends. You need to read into the context a little to realize the dubstep comes from the dubstep wizards.

Like in the beginning when they show you random images of like buildings and a gorilla, that's not just random imagery but actually Agartha. They also have Mecha to fight dragons, obviously.

There's also some books in the abyss that heavily imply that Fódlan is an alt-earth that was colonized by dragon aliens before the slitherers decided to use wizard nukes to get rid of them. Y'know. Normal fantasy things!

From my understanding it was more Slytherins rule, alien-dragon-god arrives, some indeterminate time later the Slytherins get pissy at no longer being top dog and try and nuke everything. Alien-dragon-god and kids slap the Slytherins down and then get to work fixing things to stop everything looking like Lethal Lava Land. Once that's done, alien-dragon-god goes to sleep from the strain of planting all those trees, the kids start ruling over the aboveground humans and the Slytherins sulk in caves. Eventually, Slytherins tempt first-stage-bandit-but-this-time-with-sword to murder sleeping god, take her bones to make a Soul Calibur weapon and start a human rebellion against the ruling caste of dragon-people, and from there things play out pretty clearly. The background of Fodlan is a little weird, and some of it isn't even explicitly put in the game but comes from post-game interviews. Most specifically, the whole "Nabateans installed themselves as rulers over humans in the time between Slytherins getting sent packing and Sothis' murder" comes from the Nintendo Dream interview and is only really vaguely hinted at in-game through the stuff about "King of Liberation" and how Rhea was forced to present Nemesis in history as "hero who liberated the people from [something] but eventually turned evil" rather than just "total bastard" as she certainly would have preferred.

I just find it hilarious that Fodlan has not one but two secret underground societies that are completely unrelated and unaware of each other.

I think the agarthans are aware of abyss just because the death knight and Metody crash some DLC maps and they were clearly not acting on edel's orders.

No idea why Metodey shows up other than maybe they didn't want Randolph or Ladislava to have to play "designated punching bag" for the chapter.

AradoBalanga posted:IIRC, the timeline for Cindered Shadows puts it around the time Flayn gets kidnapped. My theory on why the Death Knight shows up in Chapter 2 is that he just dumped Flayn into a spare abandoned room and was trying to find a quick exit, only to stumble upon the arena and had to improvise on the fly. Well, Metodey definitely has the most punchable face of any character in Three Houses, so they made a good choice there.

There is technically weapon advantage on the harder difficulties with breaker skills. This is especially true on the highest difficulty for the DLC, every enemy there basically has a Breaker skill.

The only thing I'll say is that magic users can use both schools of magic in magic classes, regardless of whether or not they're in a healing class or a damage magic class. So even with someone like, say, Hubert, who's weak in Faith and sticks to the offensive magic classes, you want to train his Faith becuase he can still use those healing spells in those classes.

I'm on the chapter where you search for Flayn and it says that if I go to Jeritza's quarters the month will end, but I want to do monster battles and the war for the weak so I can get some class exp for my units. Is there any penalty for not going to his quarters on the first week?

None whatsoever. The game proceeds exactly the same if you go to his quarters on the last weekend, and if you go past that there's a slightly different cutscene where one of the guards tells you to go there and things play out the same from there.

Otherwise it auto-plays the rest of the month for you and defaults to resting every weekend and keeps teaching everyone your set lessons during the week.

Hi also new. Do a character's skill aptitudes and deficiencies affect growth and capability beyond how many points they get in one-on-one instructions? I've been sticking very closely to what my dudes have blue arrows for in my training and class selection and I suddenly realized I've been making an assumption and maybe should loosen up.

I believe it also affects how many points they get just for fighting while using said skill and I know that characters will have extra (character specific) combat arts for the weapon types they have blue arrows for.
