You can let Anna die in Paralogue 2, it doesn't matter! The newest game in the series, Fire Emblem: Awakening was deliberately designed as a sort of greatest hits title, compiling the best aspects of every Fire Emblem before it, and it shows. Awakening was released on February 4th in NA (retail and eShop), and will be released April 17th in Europe. Furthermore, Europe is getting a limited edition 3DSXL with a Fire Emblem design. Neat! Plot: Awakening follows Chrom, the prince of the Halidom of Ylisse, a peaceful nation who worships the Divine Dragon Naga. Faced by the twin threats of mysterious corpse soldiers, as well as hostility from the neighboring country of Plegia, Chrom assumes command of the Shepherds, a vigilante force to keep his country at peace. Further complicating things is the appearance of a mask-wielding swordsman, claiming to be Hero-King of Legends, Marth. Characters: All designs are by Yusuke Kozaki, of No More Heroes fame. (Click for official art). Chrom:  Our protagonist, and the leader of the Shepherds. Voiced by Matthew Mercer.Avatar:  The Player avatar. An amnesiac, who was found unconscious by Chrom and his Shepherds. Possesses the mind of an experienced tactician. Your Avatar’s voice actor can be chosen by the player.Lissa:  Chrom's sister. A cleric, but can take names with axes upon promotion  Emmeryn:  Chrom’s older sister, and the Queen of Ylisse. Kind and peace-loving, like you’d expectGangrel:  The King of Plegia, and probably a nice guy. Look at his art. That’s a friendly looking guy.Validar:  The leader of a cult which worships the Dark Dragon, Grima. A powerful sorcerer.Marth:  Marth, the person who this obviously isn't, was the hero of the first and third Fire Emblem games. Both games involved him fighting to save his kingdom of Altea from the Earth Dragon, Medeus, using the Falchion. Gameplay: Awakening offers classic Fire Emblem gameplay, although with lots of new mechanics and returning mechanics from older games in the series. Classic Fire Emblem: Unlike most SRPGs, Fire Emblem places a greater emphases on strategy then the RPG aspects of the game, with clever unit placement and other such strategic elements making the difference between life and death. Fire Emblem is also dictated by some mechanics unique to the series: Unique Characters:  Every character in Fire Emblem is entirely unique. They have their own portrait, name, and frequently fairly extensive back story. Every character also belongs to their own (non-unique) class, which determines what weapons they can wield, what values their stats cap at, provide a general idea of what to expect from a character stat-wise, and occasionally provide some other bonuses as well. Once a character hits a certain level (usually 10-20), they can promote to an upgraded version of their first tier class. Permadeath: Probably the most infamous of all of Fire Emblem’s mechanics. When a character dies in battle, they’re gone. For the rest of the game. While punishing, the series does provide a fairly consistent stream of high leveled units that can be used to replace casualties, although they tend to be somewhat weaker overall than comparable characters brought up from a low level. For those daunted by this, Awakening has a casual mode wherein this is disable. Growth Rates:  Rather then having pre-determined level ups, each stat has a percent chance of going up upon leveling up. These growth rates are unique to each character, and tend to match their class (so Knights have low speed growth and high defense growth.) It can be frustrating at first, but eventually you'll be waiting for you next fix of sweet +1s. Doubling and Counterattacks: Whenever you attack an enemy, you attack once, they counter attack once, and then if one unit is sufficiently faster they attack twice. Counterattacks means gameplay is fast-paced compared to some SRPGs, as enemies can be fought on their phase, and large groups of enemies can be fought without things becoming a slog. New Mechanics: Avatar:  Your Avatar is a player created unit, who serves as one of the main characters of the game. You can choose their gender, appearance, and voice actor. While creating your Avatar, you can give them one main asset and flaw, which provide boosts and cuts to certain growth rates, bases, and stat caps. For example, choosing strength as your best stat boosts Strength growth by 10, Skill growth by 5, and Defense growth by 5 (and reduces those growths by the same amounts if chosen as your worse stat.) Your Avatar belong to the unique Tactician class, capable of using magic and swords, and can also reclass to any non-unique class in the game. They can also marry any opposite gendered character (which is important for non-waifu reasons). Reclassing and Branching Promotions:  Reclassing returns in a limited capacity. Once a unit hits level 10, they can use either use a Second Seal to change their class, or a Master Seal to promote into your choice of two upgraded classes. Most characters are capable of being 3 tier 1 classes, and 6 tier 2 classes. Different classes have different stat caps, as well as different growths rates. Reclassing resets your level to 1, however, the game uses a second internal level on top of your displayed level, which is used to calculate EXP gains. Reclassing adds half your current level to your internal level, meaning you’ll gain less and less EXP as you reclass. That said, your internal level is capped at 41 in Normal mode, and higher in greater difficulties (meaning EXP gains stop decreasing at level 41.) Being in a promoted class adds a raw +20 to your internal level. New Classes:  - Dark Flier: Promoted Pegasus Knights that can use magic as well as lances. Will most likely be very powerful, as they learn the Lightning Speed skill, which lets you act twice per turn if you kill an enemy. - Falcon Knight: Alternate promotion for Pegasus Knights. Not strictly new, but can now use Staves. - War Monk/War Cleric - Promoted clerics that can also wield axes - Trickster: Promoted thieves that can use Staves. - Taguel: Shape-shifters who transform into giant rabbits to fight. Hell yes. - Tactician: My Unit’s class. Can use Swords and Magic. Promotes to Grandmaster, although gains no weapons or other perks from it. - Great Lord: Krom's promoted class. Gain the ability to use Lances, but remains an infantry unit, which is a series first. - Griffon Knight: An alternate promotion for Dracoknights - Dark Knight: Alternate promotion for Mages and Dark Mages, can use Swords as well as magic. Mounted. - Villager: Unique to Donnel. Starts terrible, has terrible bases, and has no promotion, but gives the Aptitude skill (+20 to all growths). Level Donnel to Lv. 10, then use a Second Seal to make him a Mercenary or a Fighter. - Manakete: Not really new, but they're not always present. Transforms into a Dragon for powerful attacks, helpless when not transformed. Dragonstones are now purchasable, albeit less powerful. - Assassin: Another for the tweaked pile. Assassins can now use bows. - Demon Fighter: A DLC only class. Uses Axes, Swords, and Tomes - Bride: Another DLC only class. Uses Lances, Bows, and Staves - Star Lord: Marth’s DLC/SpotPass class - Conqueror: Walhart's class, who is recruitable via SpotPass Eugenics returns! (Support system and the Lover system):  Awakening combines the Support system present in Fire Emblem’s 6-9, with the Lover system present in Fire Emblem 4. While same-sex character pairs have three possible support ranks, C, B and A, almost all opposite gender pairs can get an S rank support, becoming lovers and having (recruitable) children. My Unit can marry (and support) anyone, because you’re just such a stud. Furthermore, there is no upper limit on supports, one character can have as many As as you like. Inheritance: Like in Genealogy of the Holy War, children are tied to a specific mother. Children inherit: i) Base stats: A child character's bases are the average of their parents base stats, and their own inherent base stats (excluding class bases in all cases) i) Growth rates: Growths for a child character are determined in the same way as above (except with growths, not bases). iii) Max stat modifiers from their parents: All units have small modifiers to their class bases, Children characters inherit the sum of these modifiers (+1), leading to higher, or lower, caps. iv) The 5th active skill from their parents: Inheritance ignores gender, so feel free to put skills like Demoiselle on your male children. DLC exclusive skills can't be passed on. v) All regular class options from both parents: Gender unique classes will be replaced by a different class for the other gender. The special Villager class can be inherited by male units, and your Avatar’s child can be a Taguel and a Manakete, but otherwise special classes aren’t passed down. vi) Chrom and your Avatar have slightly unique inheritance. Your Avatar will always have an specific opposite gendered child, on top of the mother-dependant child (assuming a male Avatar). Similarly, Chrom will always have a specific daughter, on top of the mother-dependant child. Furthermore, Chrom’s daughter(s) will always inherit Aether, and his son will always inherit Royal Weapon EVEN if he hasn't learned either skill. vii) Inheritance isn't locked in until the prologue wherein you recruit the child is actually played. You can start the paralogue, exit, change skills around, and when you enter the paralogue they'll have the new skills. Inheritance is difficult, who should I pair and will I mess everything up if don't use a spreadsheet? You don't need to min/max at all. Just pair up whoever, and do whatever. The bare minimum of min-maxing worth doing is to maybe wait until both parents are -/5 or -/15 to pass down these skills, but again, this is hardly necessary. Screw you Dad, I want to min/max! Fine, but keep in mind this is all mostly irrelevant, since it's only necessary for as of yet unreleased post-game DLC. The most important thing is to get Galeforce on as many units as possible. Galeforce is the level 15 skill for Dark Fliers, so you want as many children as possible to inherit the class option. Nowi, Tharja and Sully are the only three mothers with daughters who don't inherit the class option, so pair them with Donnel, Gaius, or a Male Avatar. These three characters have male-exclusive classes which are replaced with Pegasus Knight for daughters. Meanwhile, Lissa, Olivia, Maribelle and Female Avatar have male children and access to Pegasus Knight, so they must pass down the skill. (For other Pegasus Knight mothers, it's not necessary, as their child can learn the skill themselves.) Beyond this, the various weapon -faire skills are all good, Quick Slash and Limit Break are pretty much necessary (DLC skils), and activation based damage skills (Astra, Luna, Aether, Vengeance, Ignis, Sol) are all helpful. Furthermore, pay attention to the children's stat cap modifiers. Try to pair parents who have positive modifiers for the same stats. Kellam and Nowi, for example, give Nah +7 defense. Pair Nah with a Male Defense asset Avatar, and Morgan has +11 Defense. That sort of thing. As for Lunatic or Lunatic+, nearly all children start off too weak to be usable, so none of that really matters. For Lunatic, pair Chrom and a Female Avatar, and make sure to pass down Rally Spectrum to at least one of your children (if you're not DLC grinding, you may not get the Female Avatar to a high enough level in time to pass down Rally Spectrum to the first child.) Once that's done with, Sorcerors with Nosferatu are your best friend. For those who can't use that, try and teach them Sol and get them a solid long-ranged weapon. Dual System:  If you fight an enemy with allied units adjacent to you, you’ll receive a support bonus, boosting your combat stats. Furthermore, an adjacent unit has a chance of jumping into the fray, performing a follow up attack or guarding the other character, negating all damage, if they are being attacked. The magnitude of the support bonus is based on the cumulative support level of all adjacent units, and the chance of a Dual Attack/Guard is based on both support rank, and the stats of the two characters. If two characters don’t have a support, they’re considered to have a support rank of 1. Support bonuses cap out at rank 12. Pair Up: The Pair Up system allows you to combine units in battle, with the unit being carried initiating it. The unit carrying the other unit receives stat bonuses based on the carried unit's stats, class, and the support level between the units. The carried unit will also be treated as an adjacent unit for the purposes of the Dual System. The World Map returns!:  Awakening brings back the world map from The Sacred Stones. You can move between various locations, with the option to buy supplies or fight optional battles at certain locations. On the world map, you can manage your characters, viewing support conversations and performing similar unit management. The Barracks return from FE12, allows you to visit your allies and gain various bonuses for doing so. The bonuses range from experience to new items. Random encounters and merchants spawn on the map as well, the former letting you grind and the latter letting you buy rare or discount goods. Revamped Skill system:  Characters start with innate skills and gain new skills from leveling. Tier 1 classes teach a new skill at level 1 and 10, while Tier 2 classes teach new skills at levels 5 and 15. A character can have up to 5 skills equipped at a time, and can choose these 5 from their pool of learned skills outside of battle. Plenty of new skills have been introduced as well, along with new Rally skills, such as Rally Defense, a skill for generals which increased defense by 4 for all units in a 3 turn radius for a turn. SerenesForest has compiled an excellent skill guide: http://serenesforest.net/fe13/skills.html Furthermore, classes like Swordmasters and Berserkers no longer have innate bonuses, with all such things coming from skills. Classic and Casual mode: In Casual mode, permadeath is disabled, and the game can be saved at any time mid-battle. There are also four difficulty levels, Normal, Hard, Lunatic and Insane. Insane gives certain enemies unique + skills, that guarantee the activation of certain powerful skills such as Luna. Casual mode and difficulties are independent, so you can play Casual Insane if you so desire. Spotpass DLC: 120 characters* from past Fire Emblems will available for download by SpotPass, at which point they can be encountered on the world map and recruited. Furthermore, sidequest maps, items, and Dual Tag opponents (see explanation of Dual tag later) can be downloaded by Spotpass, and rare weapons can be bought from downloaded teams on the world map. Not only that, bonus episodes featuring new recruitable characters are also being released via Spotpass. *10 units from each Fire Emblem from 1-10, except for 4 which gets 20, and 10 extra composed of villains from the entire series. Paid DLC:  The paid DLC offers bonus episodes and new maps featuring characters from previous games in the series. So far, the bonus chapters allow you to recruit Marth, Roy, Leaf, Micaiah, Arum, Elincia, Ephraim, Celice, Eirika, Cellica, Lyn, Ike, Est, Catria, Palla and Katarina. Arum and Eirika's bonus chapters also unlock extra classes. Each character has received a redesign by a different artist, they range from awesome (Drakengard Roy  ), to terrible (Micaiah). They tend more towards Micaiah then Roy, sadly. There are also some bonus scenarios available. Some are gameplay focused, and occasionally exceedingly punishing, while others are more lighthearted, with simple gameplay but extra support conversations (mostly between same-sex units, as the Lover system made it so that most supports were between opposite sexes.) The DLC is being released in NA. The basic price scheme/schedule so far is one new DLC episode around every Thursday, priced at ~$2.50, with the option to buy three episodes in a ~$6.00 bundle. Said bundles are available from the moment the first episode in the bundle opens, you won't be able to play the unreleased episodes, but you don't need to wait until all three episodes are released to save money on the bundle. To access the DLC, you need to clear Chapter 4, at which point the Outrealm gate opens. You can purchase and play DLC from there. DLC guide: quote:
Dual Tag: Via a local connection, players can team up with a friend to battle computer controlled enemies. StreetPass features: Players can form a squad of up to ten units, including Avatars. After passing another player, your squads will appear on each others world maps, allowing you to purchase goods, recruit their My Unit, or even fight their squad. While recruiting their My Unit normally costs money, beating them in battle lets you recruit them for free. Streetpassing people who aren't playing Fire Emblem will give you a randomly generated team. Media: Opening Movie Subtitled Story Trailer Overview Trailer System Overview Trailer Support System Overview English and Japanese Voice acting comparison (Note: small spoilers. The first scene is in medias res, and occurs at the start of the game.) English Trailer Reviews: 91 - Metacritic 9/9/9/9 - From Famitsu - Tied for a series high. 9.6 - IGN 4.5/5 - Joystiq 90 - EGM 90 - Game Informer 85 - GameTrailers Tips for people new to Fire Emblem: -  Always Pair Up . One great unit is better than two worse units due to how Fire Emblem's gameplay plays out.- Don't overuse Fredrick. While he seems better than most of your other units, he's level 1 promoted, not level 1. In essence, he's functionally level 21, and thus has terrible stats for his level, and gains exp really slowly. The best way to use him is to either give him a weak weapon and let him set up kills for other units, or pair him with a squishy unit for a large strength and defense boost. - While you can promote right away at level 10, it's usually best to wait until level 20. EXP gains slow down a fair bit when you promote, and so without the extra stats from going all the way to level 20, they'll fall behind. Alternatively, reclass at level 10 using a second seal, then promote at level 10. Important Information: -Soft reset is L+R+Start Miscellaneous mechanic changes: - Weapon Weight has been removed - Attack Speed must be 5 or greater than an enemy’s to double - Tomes are all consolidated under one weapon rank: - Dark Magic can only be used by Dark Mages and Sorcerers. - There's no limit on the amount of supports one unit can have - Units must be adjacent to receive support bonuses Cake Attack fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Feb 16, 2014 |

Captain Oblivious posted:I hope they don't continue to let stat creep get out of control in future games. Way I see it, the smaller numbers were better. Easier to take a quick glance at two units and see exactly how their fight is going down. I agree with what you're saying, but stat caps would need to get much higher than 30-50 before it becomes an issue. A lot of the transparency comes from how easy calculations are - a point of strength is a point of damage, a point of defense is one less point of damage, and you double if speed > enemy speed +5. Even with stats in the 40s, none of that really changes.

King Burgundy posted:So this will be my first Fire Emblem. Played the demo on normal the first time and loved it, but of course I dominated. Then after reading this thread and all the people having difficulty I upped it to Hard and now I understand a bit more. The difference in difficulty levels is pretty huge. Still defeated it, but lost a couple of people. You can toggle more detailed information, like Shadow Ninja said. That said, calculations are really simple. Damage is: Strength + Weapon weight - Defense. There's some factor like terrain and support boosts that add or take away a point or two, but a point of strength is always one more damage, and a point of defense one less. Sub in Magic and Resitance for magical attacks. You can attack twice if your speed is five more then an enemies. Skill determines hit rate, critical rate, and skill activation, speed affects evasion, and luck does a bit of everything. These calculations are somewhat more complex though. Pairing boosts the stats of the leader, for example on Hard it can be a good idea to pair Fredrick with Chrom or Robin. They'll get a sizable defense and strength boost, and Fredrick starts at a high level so he doesn't need the exp. Cake Attack fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Jan 22, 2013 |

Man, they revealed that Marth is a women way earlier then I thought they would. No wonder the advertising didn't really hide it. Especially because she wasn't fooling anybody  .

There are some computer generated teams I think.

I love how Duel Attacks have given a whole new dimension to dying because you got a crit and killed the enemy, letting another one attack and kill you. Now Dual Attacks can do that too! drat it, MU, Cordelia could only survive the one attack  Also, Vaike has so far refused to get pretty much anything but near perfect levels, which is fantastic.

It's also worth factoring in weapon ranks, since an E isn't enough for iron weapons, just bronze. I'm thinking that if you want to reclass into a new first tier, it'd be best to do it at 10.

The Marth DLC is now available to me. It's 2.50$, but it's free until 3/6.
