Zore posted:Are they at least less weird about it than with Catria and Cordelia? Well, yes, in the sense that you don't have a borked Support pairing system where Cordelia can be pining and hopelessly lovestruck for Chrom two years after they both married. But Faye's situation is explicitly portrayed as something deeply weird and unhealthy for her.

Crawfish posted:I want that bitchin shield at the end of chapter one, but I can't really be bothered grinding the sheer amount of levels i'd need to take that bitchin sheild. You just need Lukas and Forsythe to be Knights and a decent amount of Mages/Archers + Lightning Sword wielders so you can do more than 5 damage a turn. Which is still grinding, but not very much. Lure him into a corridor so only two units need to cover him, Warp one of the knights to the other side, and then start wailing on him. Smack Slayde in the face every once in a while to make him go cry at the healing points.

Carlosologist posted:How would you even beat Desaix when he has the Dracoshield? No way to cheese him since it gives like 20 def/res Minimum damage in Echoes is 1 Damage. Note he still heals 5 HP (again thanks to the Dracoshield) so you must hit him at least 6 times per turn to outdamage him.

The Peg Knights are middling until they promote to Falcoknights whereupon they get huge boosts to survivability and you can fly them wherever you want to go kill poo poo.

The wind map allowed you to manipulate the winds to move faster and get into good enemy range. The worst map in Conquest is the terrible kitsune map.

LightningKimba posted:So I decided to make a small trip to the Temple of Mila in Act 3, which... Actually led to Palla, Catria, and Atlas all leaving my party. You can re-recruit them from the towns immediately. As an added bonus, they don't leave unless you do a story mission that takes you further away from Grieth's temple so you can enter the Dragon Shrine immediately after that.

cheetah7071 posted:I think this game proved pretty conclusively that limited supports are better than expansive supports. A hypothetical FE4 remake would obviously go full shipping stimulator but other than that I hope they leave the idea alone Sometimes I feel like I'm the only guy who finds the Supports in Echoes to be mostly blah. Like there are a couple gems (Clive/Mathilda and Alm/Faye come to mind) but a huge number of them are not only incredibly short, but also functionally about nothing. (Tobin/Kliff, looking at you.) Edit: And immediately after I type this I get proven wrong about being the only one.

Ok also as long as we're discussing presentation, how did they manage to drop the ball SO HARD when it comes to Critical Hits? They use the normal smiling portraits which just doesn't communicate any intensity, and we know they have serious/stern/shouty portraits to use. And the quotes are all completely lackluster and the animations pale in comparison to the rest of the games' amazing combat animations.

Actually Gray is the only one who leaves the village semi-regularly to go buy stuff from town. Hence him starting at level 5 while everyone else is at 1.

I love how at one point Jedah (endgame spoilers) starts laughing about how once Celica is sacrificed Duma will regain his sanity and usher in an age of chaos, when Rigelian society has always been portrayed as extremely orderly and overly regimented if anything. I really think they completely lost the plot in Act 4.

Hunt11 posted:Edit: I struggle to see the appeal of Faye as a cleric. She does get some useful spells but having two healers at the start of the game seems wasteful. Cleric Faye can kill things, heal things, Rescue things, and in endgame/postgame, Refresh things. She's a swiss-army knife of murder wrapped up in a pink ball of PTSD and obssession with Alm.
