I think Fogato might be my favorite character so far, it’s such a shame that I have to turn this wimpy loser boy archer into the best unit ever because he’s so pathetic he might break down crying at any point instead of him, but I guess that’s what replays are for.

Staves don't always default to the most injured target, so I have rewound a couple times from Framme deciding to dump some Gatorade on Louis after a level up instead of attending to the numerous wounds of Boucheron or whatever.

Can anyone give me some advice for ch16 maddening? It feels like I can't make any headway because of the water and just keep being drowned in enemy reinforcements before I can get anywhere. And each enemy wave has a level 20 promote for some reason lol

If I just give everyone on my team dual assist+ won't I end up with a silly amount of bonus chain attack damage?

Harrow posted:Even with time rewinding I still think Classic mode is worth it because it makes you play differently from Casual mode. With Classic mode on, you can't sacrifice a unit for short-term gain, or just keep trucking if someone dies, without permanently losing the ability to deploy them (or, for less story-focused characters, getting them actually killed). Yeah, it's less of a pain in the rear end to not lose anyone with time rewinding, but I still can't play carelessly, and I think that makes the game more fun.

Yeah the turnwheel mechanic just makes me more likely to play more aggressively and take risks and that's just a more fun way to play Fire Emblem IMO, so it's a great thing for me. Classic mode with time rewinding is ideal for how I want to play. I mean I also played through Conquest on Hard/Classic and had a blast so I'm not afraid of resetting maps, either, but time rewinding just feels nice to me. I can agree with some other posters that it does lower the tension and yeah, I can see that being kind of deflating at times, but for me the way that it enables me to play in a more fun way without potentially frustrating myself is worth that trade off. I could see myself doing an iron man no rewind/no reset run of Engage at some point, though. The way it keeps giving you very usable characters at a steady pace throughout the game suggests that it's designed so you can take substantial losses and keep on trucking, and I've never actually done a Fire Emblem iron man before so it could be fun.

I imagine having "use 7 of your 8 units as suicide bombs" as a valid option at all times would make a lot of otherwise challenging situations really easy to brute force your way through. The rewind mechanic takes a lot of sting out of misplays but it doesn't change the fact that your goal is to get through the chapter with minimal casualties.

It's totally fine if someone does, but it fundamentally changes the way I approach battles. It really gives you the option to just barrel through maps and win by attrition without any careful planning at all. When you don't care if someone dies and there's no risk involved, it kind of changes my own personal attachment to these characters as well. My Kagetsu soloed about 7 wyvern knights in an advanced level 3 or 4 gold skirmish, makes me like him far more since he could have died permanently in that situation.

My early impressions of this game (5 chapters in): Emblem rings rule, they feel like a more refined version of battalions that's less cluttered to sort through. Engage Abilities in particular are way more fun and interesting than Gambits which always felt kinda flat for me. The characters largely rule, I still don't like the little kids though. Removing weapon durability is great, I'm never able to get past the mentality of "but what if I'm WASTING CHARGES I NEED LATER" so removing that entirely feels good. This game sure loves big boobs. All the characters (male and female) are super pretty in general, I'm kind of surprised they removed paired endings for the NPC's since the characters seem designed with the shipping crowd in mind. Not that I'm complaining. The plot has been totally bog standard Fire Emblem so far, in a good way. I think starting the game off with the twins really doesn't put the game's best foot forward in terms of the tone and feel of the game.

Though also that post reminds me, now that I'm towards the end I think I understand why there aren't any paired endings for anyone but Alear. Late game spoilers obviously: there's a pretty strong theme running through the game about family, and most of the characters who join you do so as part of what's functionally a family unit. They might be blood family (the various royal sibling pairs, or the stewards) or very close friends who are functionally family (the retainers to their royals, for example), and the couple characters who don't join with their family actually struggle a lot with their lack of family. Whether it's Anna missing her family, Kagetsu having run away from his, Yunaka searching for somewhere that will accept her for who she is, Lindon mourning his dead wife, etc. My guess is that most characters' endings involve them being with their families, whether blood family or family of choice. Pairing them up wouldn't really make sense because that's ultimately not what's important to them.

I do wish I could pair up Diamant and Ivy, that just feels narratively appropriate to me.

I know I’m a madman. But I made Anna a Hero and Yumeka a Sniper. My units all finally started hitting lv20 base so getting the advanced class promotions. I know that due to level changes with how you can just re- second seal for more levels, but imposing a self-restrain rule on my myself where 20/20 level limit is far I’m gonna go. I’m playing just in hard/classic so that allows room to adjust my choices.

And each enemy wave has a level 20 promote for some reason lol use your warp staves. Ike enables anyone to survive an enemy phase, and once you've triggered the enemies it's easy to move forward and mop them up while still keeping momentum. You don't even need to go *that* fast, you just need to be making progress, instead of hanging around at the edge of enemy formations baiting them. Playing aggressively is, as always, the answer

lyn's ring sure does nix a lot of utter terror in certain situations, huh louis isn't as reliable given he doesn't always no sell everything and can be doing other things (overdrive legendary smash lance here we go) but chloe singlehandedly just did chapter 19 by popping doubles and killing everyone in the enemy phase with a mix of dodges and criting, lord and the proper engage ability is the semi-useful astral storm, if you lose all the doubles you can just... use it again. she is definitely the best defensive emblem by a country mile, with sigurd being the best offensive one. byleth on alear for the ultimate rally bot is the only one that comes close

If Corrin wasn't so busted on Yunaka I think I'd be using her with Lyn constantly. I really really really love the doubles. I suppose I could put Corrin on Alear and Lyn on Yunaka and just make them the ultimate dodge tank duo.

So I think I’m going to try Hero Jean as I have Navarre S and that sounds funny. Also, I started a Maddening run and just about to get to Chapter 8. Strangely, my MVP unit has been Alfred with Sigurd. He’s bailed me out of so many situations with multi-killing Overdrives while being tanky enough to absorb hits. Considering how terrible he was in my hard playthrough, this is an extremely strange turn of events. I even benched Louis for the mission, which was extremely weird.

Been playing Engage. It's fun! Got to Chapter 8 which means Second Seals and I used one of them to change Anna to a Mage considering her growths. I'm planning to use the remaining two that you can get on Clanne (a Mage while having your Base Growth on Magic being your lowest for your first party member sounds completely questionable) and Jean (with his skill of doubling Class Growths, he deserves a better class than Martial Monk) and while I know I'm gonna let Jean be an Axe-using Class (since I don't have much available), I don't know what to do with Clanne. Also I frequently give horse poo poo to Vander. No need to explain why since he's benched and all.

Alfred has actually been pretty good on my Hard mode play through. He isn’t a monster, but he tends to get the job done with how hard he can hit. That said, it’s always good to see the consensus is that Louis is a god.

to some extent, I feel like a lot of opinions on character quality are closer to opinions on emblem quality; (almost) anyone can be great with the right ring but there's only so many rings to go around. It'll take a while for the dust to settle on who's truly great and who isn't, I think
