also there's the fact that your chosen difficulty level doesn't actually do anything until you get out of the prologue. those chapters are tuned to be super easy, if you have hard on the next ones are an intense difficulty spike where suddenly random stronghold captains are four-shotting you. i imagine it gets tougher there even on normal this is also where they introduce the entire rest of the mechanics so you should just keep playing and the game will answer the question of what it's like pretty well actually

Sydin posted:I was really worried after the 10-15 FPS nightmare that was trying to play Age of Calamity, but yeah Koei Techmo have obviously made some huge strides in squeezing out every drop they can from the Switch hardware. Note quite as buttery smooth as I'd like but the FPS dips are rarely bad even in the thick of it.

Zore posted:All classes are in this game are a moveset (which is fully unlocked by getting to A rank in the weapon), unlocks (which almost all carry over between classes) and between 1-4 innate skills with most classes having just 'whatever'-breaker and a few having some kinda meh ones beyond that like Locktouch. not by an overly huge amount, but if you're ~optimizing~ you might take it into account that the master classes give better stats than anything below

i was just thinking, after the one-two combo of this game and three houses, i honestly would not mind if the series was permanently handled as a collaboration with koei from now on. they seem like they really know what's up, and should only get better after their literal first ever attempt at a fire emblem game was already pretty good, with some obvious issues

overabundance of swords?? there's like five units in the entire game that specialize in swords (and you're not even getting all of them in one playthrough!), if you're putting more of them there that's entirely on you.

Augus posted:the big secret of the game is that you can just ignore the preferred classes if you want with barely any consequences, they just grow slightly slower and also a lot of mages have unique skills that are way better with a faster weapon

Defiance Industries posted:I was talking about Three Hopes, which is why I mentioned Shez. I think if Shez was just a regular mercenary, it would also be a lot better. But the one we got is really just a waste of time whose story doesn't really pay off with anything interesting. You're right that it wouldn't work in Three Houses (Byleth has their own issues but being a shaggy dog isn't one of them), but Three Hopes is definitely assuming you've played that game and know all the Flame Emperor, Tragedy of Duscur backstory stuff.

you just miss out on interesting dialogue not recruiting everyone, too, and when it's as easy as pressing a button on the prep screen (as opposed to stacking stats and supports on byleth to meet exacting requirements) yeah there's absolutely no reason not to do it. in three houses there actually was a reason, because having people you know as enemies during part 2 was thematically more interesting but this game doesn't do anything like that, you either recruit or kill.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:Honestly it's kind of unfortunate that it doesn't seem likely that we're going to get HW's adventure mode in any other game because that really did give a lot more longevity to the game than anything postgame since. The closest thing to "challenge maps" are a literal handful per run of "no dodging" or "male units only", crafting materials only exist seemingly as a nod to "well it's a nintendo musou it has to have crafting materials", and it veers so hard away from the usual "bang action figures together noncanonically" that you can't even do that on NG+ outside of the record room if you want to replay missions for no real reward or progression reason.

what's really disingenous here is acting like "japanese games" (a ridiculously wide net, btw) have a history of touting a reactive story that changes based on your choices and not living up to it actually name a single one that does

very shallow? they've exactly replicated the writing style and feel of three houses if you ask me (in fact they may literally just have the same writers), nobody feels out of character and they're exploring fun new interactions and angles with them that we didn't get to see there. i have 0 problems with this game's writing in general, in fact i like it more than three houses because the main story is way better instead of all the weight being carried by supports and worldbuilding.

Folt The Bolt posted:Apex Lance to increase Critical Hits further whenever you're in a Lance-using class and that doesn't actually matter because they're currently bugged to actually lower your critical damage instead lmao you can test this yourself in mock battles very easily, it's not a very significant decrease but it is still a total waste of a slot.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:They seem dead set against repeating any Houses support conversations*. Yuri and Bernie's supports couldn't really be anything but a retread of their interactions in Houses, so they just scrapped them. They do, however, still acknowledge one another and have unique remarks for dining or doing chores together, as well as training and fighting. There's a fair number of pairs like these, such as Ferdinand and Lorenz, or Dorothea and Manuela. It's kind of weird because it makes them mechanically worse to pair up than less close associates that can acquire higher support levels, but otherwise it seems reasonable enough.
