I feel like by the time all the DLC Emblems come out I'm going to feel like I have to play on Maddening just to get the level of moderate challenge I got from Hard on a first playthrough. I'm assuming they're all going to be strong as hell.

Even if they were reasonable, there's still a good chunk of the game where you don't otherwise have emblems for everyone-- which also means you'll get way more sp across your group.

I'll probably get the dlc if the fourth wave has a fun challenge like Cindered Shadows, but I'm not very interested in the power increase from the dlc emblems and bonus items in the regular game.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
I'm assuming there's going to be a difficult spike again after finishing chapter 17, but so far the stats are less inflated than I thought. No one on my team really gets doubled outside of Pannette, and only by the speedsters enemies since she has 16 spd.

(Now granted, there were no dagger users on 17 which are the literal worst enemy types)

Endgame: Spawning a group of sages with Physic staves at the bottom of the map when all my guys are at the top, and then having them heal the boss to full while he puts up an anti-damage shield, is very rude and should not happen, in my opinion.

i like the convo where fogado compliments his brand and soren gets really confused by it

seems like the devs put a lot more effort into the dlc bond convos. which, i guess you're paying for them, but.

or maybe its because the dlc emblems have more distinct personalities than the lords

Every Fire Emblem since PoR has had a design document titled "how Soren would roast every character in this game".

A lot of the base game emblems seem really off but some of them are good. Ike is probably the best but Lucina, Roy and Sigurd have some funny ones.

"Yeh've forged a magnificent sword."

"This one's only practice. The real sword I intend to forge will be three times longer."

"Can there really be a sword as monstrous as that in this world?"

"Yes. I can see that sword... Somewhere out there..."
Hector's "spend 20% HP to keep enemies from stopping on diagonal squares" is such an odd ability, both because Hector wants high HP for Riposte and because it seems to be a "prevent enemies from attacking at 2 range" skill that forgets that enemies can just shoot you from two linear tiles away instead. Honestly think the best use for it might just be putting Hector on Panette as an alternative to Panette + Ike strategies, and then using that skill to activate her +10 crit from Blood Fury. Otherwise the ring seems like a pretty straightforward "build a Enemy Phase juggernaut" Emblem that's somewhat hurt by not getting a cool 1-2 range Engage weapon. (Runesword does not count. Putting Runesword on Hector was a joke about that weapon being kind of bad in FE7.)

Camilla is three Emblems in one! "I need an Emblem that gives some speed and I'd also like magical weapons, and +move is nice," "I want a cool axe and a lot of resistance, and +move is nice," and "I want to put Dragon Vein on another character, and also +move is nice." The design doesn't quite mesh. I guess Yunaka might like using her...? She does have a weirdly high magic growth and Thief has no way to use it natively, plus the fog generator on a Covert and a big +Attack weapon for armors and +resistance to help Yunaka tank mages. Kind of a shame the Dragon Vein effects seem to be identical to Corrin's, that's a missed opportunity. (endgame thing) In light of the +HP and +Speed, there might be an argument that Camilla is better for Veyle to give her some actual offense to go with her Dragon Vein utility, though losing Draconic Hex and the freeze makes that a tough sell.

Soren feels like an attempt to redesign Celica, between Bolting hitting a similar niche to Warp Ragnarok and a similar tome damage niche. I don't think I'd ever use the magic damage reflection staff. (Maybe for giggles on the "Griss in the dark" chapter?) Giving the person with him Draconic Hex would be funny with Bolting. Haven't actually done this stage yet, though, so I haven't seen his full set yet.
