I just wish we could have these games on better hardware so characters wouldn't have to stand in front of low res jpgs for every cutscene/support.

Got to Chapter 11. Ch 11 spoilers going forward: It fell pretty flat for me. I just don't care about these emblems and the game's done no work to make me care about any of them. Like Roy and Sigurd haven't said more than two words, so who gives a poo poo if they're gone? I suppose losing the power of the emblems is somewhat annoying but I demolished 11 on Maddening easily so I just don't think it has any real impact.

Cèliene’s post kill dialogue is so condescending. She just one shot a mage with a fireball through a window. “I want to help you.”

Celine doesn't look like it but she's actually ice cold. Her Alear support chain is great, as is her Fogado one.

How do you get the gems to power up emblem weapons? I'm up to chapter 16 and I still haven't gotten a single one. Junpei posted:Does anyone else find Amber kind of annoying? Yes which is why he is permanently benched.

Yeah I think they're just there as a sort of "just play Fire Emblem for a bit without worrying about breaking the game" mode.RuBisCO posted:Well, "twist" What. Man that sounds cool, didn't happen for me. Probably because I played too aggressive and actually had people nearby to fight him when he started acting.

Ohhh, Yeah in all the Emblem Paralogues, they eventually start moving in on you after enough turns. Ike runs to the back of the fort and destroys the whole rear end thing. Really funny considering the context of that map in FE9.

Harrow posted:Campy fun is exactly what it is. And the few moments so far when the story actually tries to be serious land pretty well, though I think a lot of that is on the quality of the acting in those scenes. The acting can be kinda flat sometimes, but when things get serious, everyone steps up really well. Sounds good. Once I recalibrated my expectations for anime the game on the stream felt a lot like Awakening, which I did enjoy, so I'll probably pick it up once I finish my current Three Hopes campaign. I am curious how viable thief Alear will be. It's kinda been a thing for me since Awakening to make the PC for my first run a thief, and it looks like Alear can pick up the requisite proficiency from Lief or Micaiah.

I think we'll view the characters more favorably as we unlock more supports. For example I just unlocked Celine/Alcryst C support and it added quite a bit more context to the Alfred and his obsession with muscles. Some of the bond conversations are just delightfully dumb and pointless. The Roy/Louis one is just Louis going "Did you notice that our names are both vowels bookended by consonants" and Roy going "Huh I never noticed that. That's cool. "

RuBisCO posted:Also shoutout to the Byleth paralogue that Man, I keep missing this stuff because of my incredibly aggressive playstyle. I killed one of the warp staff priests before they activated so they only got to warp one unit a moderate distance which was easy enough to deal with. Finished the map with every crystal still up.

the tower of trials and engage weapon upgrade materials seem to exist mostly as a postgame endless grind type of thing, and the way you create a maximally powerful team to win outrealm trials with. the engage weapons are all decently powerful to begin with so i don't see much reason to grind it out during the game.

Proficiencies are trivial to gain so yeah as long as you can afford the second seals there's no reason not to experiment. Personally I love Alear in their default class because once promoted they get martial arts access and being a punchlord is a lot of fun. But Thieves are crazy strong and even in his default (promoted) class my Alear is an excellent dodge tank so I imagine you could make a great thief Alear.

I'm kinda glad there's something to do "postgame" this time around. It's not something I always want but sometimes I get to the end of a Fire Emblem game and get a little sad there isn't more that I can do with my carefully-trained team of extremely efficient murderers. The idea that there are just some optional battles on the side I can go do if I want to play around with my endgame level team (when I get there) is nice.

Side note: as a devoted cat person, I must say that the advantages to having five dogs running around your farmyard is too good to pass up. I just came back from a battle and found three silver ingots just sitting there. A yard full of dogs = never worrying about upgrade materials again.

Fire Emblem Engage: Has no Assassins. Also Fire Emblem Engage: We have Assassin at home  I'm sure that crit rate can be further optimized. I got the lethality ring and it procs quite often.

But if you give her the Lethality ring you can't give her Corrin's ring so she can constantly dispense fog wherever she goes!

I mostly wanted to try it out to see how often it triggers with crits. Sadly no funky special animation. Also not sure how much Tiki boosts growth rates but I got my first perfect level up.

God, I'm crippled with decision paralysis after chapter 8. On reclassing had no problem, just put Jean as a Lance fighter (since there's apparently no natural users of the class? wtf IS) and Anna a Mage. But on forges and Master Seals I'm overwhelmed, I'd like to get some magic/Killer weapons but also forge a super powerful dagger or smth. And promoting at 10 means 80% of my army can promote and I'm not sure who to upgrade besides Louis and Chloe. I'm a weak being

At some point my entire army became cute murder girls. Alfred was literally the only dude left when Timerra showed up and at that point I figured I might as well go all in and had him hit the bench. Sorry himbo prince, you're cute, but thematically inconsistent. E: Also I have yet to recruit a lance fighter, but I can't be the only one to notice that Mauvier has a personal skill, unlike the other hounds.

I fully intend on playing without a bench. It sounds like this is going to involve an inhuman amount of micromanaging my emblems, though.

Sigurd's paralogue map is the best thing I have ever played, hands-down. In the second half, like 3 dozen soldiers flood out of his castle and start marching towards yours. Except Sigurd has such bonkers movement that you can easily line up some of your defensive units and he'll charge way ahead of his gigantic army and Override right into your team. And then if you box in your units, he can't Canter back out.  I can't believe I'm about to commit a FE4 on this man again

Give all of them to Alear if you have anxiety about it, having the one unit you *always* need to deploy strong is a good thing. Also just finished Ch17. Very long map and had to play carefully and use a few rewinds on hard. Definitely a jump after the easy previous chapters. Edit: I need to bench Diamant, he just didn't have good enough levelups to keep him around, he got outclassed by his brother of all things.
