What I saw in some videos of people playing late game suggests non mages can learn skills that work a bit like spells to do certain tricks. Like an archer can learn some kind of super shot skill that lets him hit from even further away for the cost of a few hp.

If you learn spells by class progression, but revert to villager to do another class, do you keep the spells? Can you have Demon Fighters with Sage spells if you're a crazy person?

i don't think it's some 'hahaha intsys just OWNED classic fans....' thing or anything it's just gentle teasing. the director of the game is a huge fe grognard himself and said he's played gaiden like 60 times. if anything it's probably just a self-aware joke more than anything.

What does her japanese name have to do with anything? Why is that a joke or tease?

Do Kliff and Faye have supports with anyone on Celica's side? Is there a good reason to have her get them besides doing it for the sake of it? I mean, she apparently has her share of peg knights and mercenaries, so I guess they could be her cavaliers?

Celica gets the Rion and Fugue shields, and can give the Fugue shield to the correct guy, but the Rion guy was in Zofia castle. Do I have to know in advance this happens so I can send the Rion to Alm through the Peddler or is there another way to get the Rion shield to its guy?

Also, I think I had a glitch in some quest giver. I went to the Sylvan shrine and cleared it, and a woman in the forest village thanked me, then started asking if i'd saved her husband. I don't remember rescuing anyone at this point, though maybe I did? Just a bug causing a looped quest prompt, or may I have missed something?

Yeah a lot of these maps are not friends to knights. Why do they insist on not giving them any move? They already have low speed. Let them move up front to do their job!

They also seem weirdly high on the attack priority. I think the ai focuses on stuff it can more reliably hit than what big ticket damage it could do? I have had situations where I was trying to feed a kill to a low def target and the monster went after Valbar or Lukas instead.

I am convinced I am in a negaworld where the white wings are in fact bad because if they weren't getting constant support they'd be dying constantly. They do almost no damage compared to any of my dread fighters, and giving them better lances just means they get doubled by anything that's not a Cantor. Palla in particular has forced me to use the turnwheel more than any other character in both armies.

If IntSys is going to insist on not giving Barons move I wish they'd get special knight-class only spawn points so they can start out ahead of the pack. There was one map full of cavs that had a spawn point set apart from the rest of the team where I could put Lucas with the Riderbane just out by himself and he ate that entire half of the map by himself.

Which saddens me because Kliff is my star unit. I throw him at anything and he tanks it while doubling it. He could end the war by himself.

Tobin hypes himself after a win by saying "Alm has nothing on me!" but in Kliff's case it is true.

Speaking of character specific, I like this idea of character specific spells to some extent, but I'd like it to also apply to non-mage classes. It might give each of the sword guys more of a niche over each other besides "the strong one" or "the fast one" if they learned different skills natively by leveling like the priests and mages do. And it could tie in with character details if Kliff learned something like Hexblade so he could always target res like a mage even if he was a non-mage class.

In earlier games, characters would have a variety of skills that they either came with or unlocked at promotion, but I kind of like this very RPG unlock by level system to set members of the same class apart.

it's not so much 'more fleshed out' but more grounded. 90% of the fates characters are just totally random guys who could have come from anywhere and have basically no past, but everyone here has an actual place in the world and talks about their families and stuff, or how they were raised, or where they come from. mathilda casually mentioning she has a bunch of sisters who all really admire her or kliff mentioning that his mom's selfish and greedy is more backstory than hinata ever gets.

Yeah, their supports or conversations don't really linger overlong or get drawn out, but they do tell us a bit more about who these people are when they're not killing for Alm or Celica.
