It does make me worry about the upcoming one on switch, especially since they're elbow-dropping deeper into anime by being set in a high-school. (Though atleast it seems like if they have different stories based on which kingdom you support, it'll all be in 1 title instead of going the pokemon route again.)

The latest Citra (I've been playing the canary build 1215.) seems to work just fine. I've played up to chapter 8 of the conquest campaign without any issues. Though I can imagine that the overhead of emulating the game + streaming and recording might add issues I don't have on my end. SubNat fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Feb 21, 2019 |

As Vicas mentioned, yeah, the first 5 chapters are identical regardless of which path you're on. If you have the special edition, or bought additional paths as dlc you get the option to skip straight to the branch point on starting a new game. And yeah, over in conquest you essentially work to undermine the evil empire from within, which would have been a very interesting concept if written competently. (it was not.)

Fedule posted:Speaking of tension and pacing, I already don't like this games pacing. We've seen barely anything of note that establishes any of these characters. I wholeheartedly agree there, it's kind of bizarre how the part that's in all versions of the game is so short, packed, and rushed. I guess because most players are locked into a family before they even start playing, they didn't care about characterising up and making the player care much about either side before dropping into the path-exclusive content. If Conquest/Birthright was a single title with both branches in from the start, I imagine they would have spent more part here in part1/prologue town. More time in pittsburg to get to know the family there, and the same in japan-land, to make the choice something people might actually care about. But it's so bizarre how if unless you bought the game + a 20?usd DLC at launch, you didn't have a choice in the matter ingame at all. Also yeesh to the handoofs, I did not notice those either.

I like to think that Garon specifically planned for the queen-icide, but in less than a day the blade got so utterly tired of Chome that it just tried to off him early when it had the chance. (Honestly, that entire sequence would have been better if Hans had just chopped off the ropes to the extremely rickety bridge instead.)

But yeah, as Vicas pondered: They are entirely different games. I'm not sure about Birthright, but plot and maps are pretty different. I think revelations reused a couple of the conquest (and likely Birthright) maps in the early acts, but with different objectives and enemies. (But I bet once I see the Birthright levels, it'll turn out that all the unfamiliar levels were from it.) And wow, that first mission of birthright sure played itself, huh. It seems super easy compared to revelations' and conquest's versions.

RareAcumen posted:It's a poll for picking who gets special Fire Emblem Heroes outfits so I don't think it maps 1:1 for popularity. Looking at the popularity list: Significantly. Female Robin #6, Male Robin #11. Female Chome is on #10, Male Chome is uh... #70. Though Elise (Aka the girl to the right.) is thoroughly misplaced, at #97.Compared to #10 and #24.) (She's the least favorite of the sibling characters, though if this poll is mostly EUR/USA, then it might be because young girl characters just aren't as popular here?) But yeah, I'm not at all surprised that the Robins beat out the Chomes, honestly. Zanzibar Ham posted:Oh, so Takumi's actually the 32nd favorite, so not as bad (though still is kinda). ?

Yeah, it was kind of interesting in Awakenings, since it was plot related, but it's an utterly bizarre mechanic on it's own. But just like the weird YXX-YXXX year olds that look like young girls, they'll probably keep it around for a while more to satisfy the people that like it. Also y'all can date Kaze if you want. (If you have homebrew so that you can install the extended same sex marriage mod / fanfiction mod. No kids though, because the inclusion of canon same sex couples means they added parent gender checks to the paralogues/kids, unlike in Awakening. And you'd have to hex-edit one of the parents to get a kid.  )

Both of those are extremely correct, I kind of forgot about just unlocking the paralogues, because I didn't feel like perpetually looking up which one was the correct one for which pairing, not wanting to trigger incorrect ones early. Because in Fates they'd just be a huge list to scroll through. Also I did not want to play Fates enough to support grind multiple people to get kids anyhow in it. I did enough of that in Awakenings.

In case it hasn't come up yet MiniFoo / Kuvo, if your pointer is over a friendly unit you can tap L to hop over to a different one, instead of needing to scroll to each unit. (Does it also filter by characters that have actions left? Can't remember off the top of my head.) e: maybe I should watch the entire ep before commenting, durrrrrr.

Also, as part of the pair-up mechanic you can also switch between the leading character, so that the secondary character can use their action. (Or just to swap so that the slower, ferried character can defend during the enemy turn. ) So Kaze could run over to Subaki, pair up. Subaki flies over to chest, uses switch, and then Kaze can use his action to open the chest. All in a single turn. While separate, as used in the end of the video, just splits them up again, but uses their action to do so. (Though this is useful if you're just explicitly ferrying a character.) You can only use switch as a post-move/stand still action though, I think, so you can't for example switch to the faster unit, move, then switch back. I'm pretty sure that part is still the same in Fates as in Awakening.

RareAcumen posted:Also if you don't want to move absolutely everyone forward then you don't have to. Just move who you need to and bring up the menu to end your turn. Or even just use the auto. You can set the auto to 'rush' I think it was, at which point it'll move the units towards the closest enemies. It's very good for situations where you've already moved the couple of units you wanted to move, but don't want to move all the rest of them.

inthesto posted:I cannot express how awesome it is that dvac is doing matchmaking using FFT rules Since dvac mentioned splitting up the army along gender lines: There's no problem with people getting points with anyone outside of the optimal-dvac-approved ships, relationships only progress once you have the support conversation. So you can have someone with multiple S-ranks ready to be activated (as might be the case with for example Chome.), but much like quantum physics, their relationship only collapses and becomes a romance once you observe it happening. And honestly, you should just be trying to get as many points as possible, with as many people as possible, to increase the amount of conversations you have to go through.

So, once you're done with Birthright you'll be dropping straight into Revelations, right? Though I am slightly worried that that might implode DVac's shipping charts into a black hole of Anime.

Oh yeah, Vicas mentioned the level cap being 20. The Fates games have an item you can use when the character is a promoted class & max level that boosts their level cap by +5. (Eternal Seal, I think it was.) And said item spawns somewhat regularly in a max-upgraded shop. (And also a couple dlc classes and stuff have higher caps.) So the only thing capping characters is really their stat caps, but even those can be upgraded through those statues you get in the dragonscape-mindpalace. (You already have a level 1 statue for Chome I believe. It increases the cap of their talent-related stat. If I'm not completely misremembering, this bonus extends to all close allies if you level the statue up once, and then to all allies at level 3. ) (I thought the statues unlocked with the amount of support ranks or something, but apparently they unlock based on how many kills that character has.)

It doesn't help that doing 3 splits, with 3 different sets characters just made for a daunting amount of writing, just to cover the supports. Male Corrin/Chome has something in the ballpark of 70k+ words written for -only- the support dialogues. With the siblings having ~20-30k or so each on top of it. So that's ~230k words just for Chome & Siblings, and for supports. Not in-mission dialogue or cutscenes, just support conversations. If you included Azura, that's more words than are in Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix ( ~260k words.) Even just with them ham handedly slapping down the tritest, most pointless writing, that's a lot to cover. e: source: Insane people on the FE wiki have actually transcribed basically all of the game, so I just slapped that through a word counter.

Re: saunafucking: I'm sure there is an event for meeting your wife/husband in the baths, the odds are just pretty low. (Though you can equip the bath-towel-on-head accessory on her to make it more likely that she'll show up in the sauna. ) There are a couple other accessories that boost how often certain characters end up in the various shops, etc. Like the jester-hat you slapped on Kaden making him more likely to lounge in the lucky ball lottery stall. e: also on the topic of expanded shipping, there is an extended same-sex mod you could possibly install if you decide to drop into conquest or revelations. The only downside is that you'll have to do a bit of memory editing to make the same-sex kids pop up correctly. (aka, swap the gender of one of the participants before the proposal, then back again after you've recruited the kid.) Because for some reason, in between Awakenings and Fates, they decided to hardcode a gender check into the game. (Possibly explicitly for the 2 same sex couples possible in the game?)

I vaguely remember a terrible map where it had snowed over, and you had to very very very slowly fight your way through it, while you had no idea where enemies might pop up.

I assume the DLC-Alternate route/Revelations, as opposed to the DLC-'explaining why they used the designs of Awakening characters', or DLC-'Everyone is fighiting to take a vacation so they can send a instagram-photo of their vacation to Chome'. (Or DLC-Money/Xp grinding, etc.)
