the game secretly counts the number of times you use it and if you go over 75 you'll get the bad ending one chapter before the final one

Assuming it is like the other games and you have a limited amount of resets per map then you should not rest for minor setbacks but if things start to get ugly then slam that button as hard as you can.

I also used to Divine Pulse for stupid poo poo like changing equipment, but I'll be legit sad if it's 10 for a whole playthrough. I can't really imagine even provisionally going back to the "restart the whole map" days after DP/Turnwheel as a quality of life upgrade.

Are the 3D portraits done well, goons who have already played it? With 2D I have less barrier to imagining out the actions implied in some support skits, but 3D somehow feels more distracting when nothing is actually animated about them. Yes, my brain is made of cheese.

They don’t have 2D portraits because they’re usually a compromise because the ingame graphics aren’t capable of conveying emotion and poo poo properly and Engage is the second Switch Fire Emblem so they challenged themselves to make it 100% 3D. I’d rather have portraits too, but according to the interviews the artist helped a lot with the 3D models so it’s kinda hard to feel too disappointed. edit: efb

[Weren't there some characters in past titles who moved so slowly that by the time they reached their opponent, the other characters had already finished the battle? (Laughs) Nakanishi: Yes, in that context, I think even Armor Knights will be able to battle up front in this game together with Emblem Sigurd, who increases mobility.] Oh they knew. Louis is easily the best combat unit and making hard mode pretty easy to manage.

Absolutely don't play on normal, hard mode will take a lot of resets at first but you'll get used to the flow. The biggest downgrade is no future forecast for combat and arrow telling which enemy hits which character, so if you relied on that, welp now it's gone.

How does it feel having full engage meter from the start (I think that's correct?) with the maps so far?

I mean, it's quite built for it. Building back up engage mode isn't a rare thing. You're meant to use these tools often, and maps start you off with a lot of enemies nearby in a mode that no one outside of armor knights can handle 3 combat scenarios. That's part of why Louis is so good with Sigurd, because he's one of the only units that can overextend, not die, and build back the Engage mode easier since each combat round is 1 pip of meter.

Nice thanks, I was curious about the tuning but it sounds like it's not an issue on hard+. Fully excited for armor units to be relevant after too many hours of 3H. I'm ready to bring The Wall!!!

not too bad. engages arent quite as op as people thought they'd be short of sigurd and byleth. enemy density is pretty high and they hit really hard so getting a unit who can both kill an enemy with celica's warp ragnarok and survive an enemy turn is hard, i mostly use it to get the mage from one front to the other when my army's split up. marth makes a unit kill enemies they break easier and is pretty dodgy but he doesnt really increase actual survivability and enmies are pretty accurate on hard. even with marth up and in cover enemies still tend to pull 20-30% hit rates, which isnt nothing given their damage. roy is just a stat bump with an okay swipe attack. lyn is mostly just a button to snipe an enemy. micaiah is a heal bot, flying or cavalry healer in the early game is nice and great sacrifice can help but again, enemies hit hard enough that there's not much grey space between 'full hp' and 'dying' for most units. Ike and Corrin just kinda feel really gimmicky, and Lucina's basically just a variant of Marth that doesn't rely on breaking but on positioning. Leif's gimmick relies on you having weapons for every situation in your inventory. They're still good but their power level really does feel comparable to batallions in 3H, just with slightly more immediate power in exchange for being off half the time. Enemy bosses having multiple HP bars and fairly high stats also means you usually want to save a couple of the single target nuke engages for them. overall they're all mostly alpha strike buttons, they feel more like compensation for how much you dont want enemies to counter. the main thing ill say is that armor knights are probably slightly too good. they dont completely break the game but they make engaging (heh) with difficult enemy formations way simpler, and for most of the midgame enemy damage, while high, doesnt inflate fast enough to keep up with armor knights absurd defense. and if you get into abusing tonics that problem probably worsens. ive yet to see how they fare on maddening though, but at least on hard louis is very good. He does fall off a bit towards the end when enemies start getting effective weapons, there's more enemy mages, etc.

Bond 10 Sigurd will give lance users +atk while using a lance and Brave Lance , hence why Armor Knight Sigurd doesn't fall off like you'd think it would.

Endorph posted:imo it was slightly too strong honestly i get changing it. having to account for multiple possibilities is more fun than just knowing everyone's gonna target dedue for some reason Depends on if there's a way to still at least see all threat ranges when you make a move. Though honestly I'd prefer that be it's own difficulty option, more modular difficulty is good.

That sounds like it's no longer the case and sending a high mobility unit out into the breech is far more likely to get them ganged up on and killed.

Detective No. 27 posted:Anyone have a feel for the difficulties yet? Three Houses on Normal was a cakewalk. I'm about 20 hours in on Maddening/Classic according to my save. It starts pretty rough and you need to rely on the lone Armored unit you get for the first few chapters to wall or have Alear/a thief evade tank. There's a set of battles that I beleive are going to cause people to the lower the difficulty or switch to Casual because of the threat of units getting perma'd. Those encounters took me 5 resets because you lose the ability to rewind among other things so your army is at its weakest it has been for hours. Also skirmishes won't have unlocked at that point so no grinding your way out of it.  Skirmishes unlock right after those set of consecutive battles. The very first skirmish beat my rear end in because your army is split in the battle and you are still mechanically recovering from what happened in the story.

I'm an FE noob but I'm really enjoying this so far. The story/characters/dialogue is all incredibly obnoxious and seemingly for insane people/children so I'm pretty checked out, but the actual battles are awesome (Hard feels really good). The Job system they added is really cool and I'm already cooking up some builds that involve a bunch of cross-inheritance. I've been pretty unimpressed with magic users/archers just because they die so fast so I basically have to play them far back, but by the time I can safely bring them in to engage, my front liners have already basically wiped everyone out.
