Junpei posted:Will you be using Engages to bolster unit's existing strengths, going 'with' the flow as it were (ie Marth goes on Alear because they get that bonus from being a Dragon, giving Sigurd to someone mounted, etc), or will you be using them to expand options on other units (ie by using Celica on, say, Chloe so she can cross-train into magic classes)? I find being a generalist rarely works out in fire emblem

Endorph posted:diamant's design really reminds me of ike's which makes it funny that roy seems to be his default engage. Roy has Lancereaver, so that’s a really good fit with his personal skill. It’ll be interesting to see all the weird strats flooding in after release though.

Delphisage posted:They did have Falcoknights in FE11, but restricted it to only being accessible to players with internet connections in 2009 because screw poor people. Especially dickish thanks to Dracoknights still having their relatively low speed caps from GBA. I don’t think cost is the issue here, it’s that a rotating shop is terrible for a linear and finite game like Fire Emblem. There’s also the fact that Wi-Fi servers are long gone now, so if you play Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon in the year of our lord 2023 you’re gonna need a proxy server or modified version of the game to use, for example, a Brave weapon.

Delphisage posted:Whag do you normally do with Edward and Leonardo in Part 3? I already tend to use Edward over Zihark (Wrath is really good and saves durability compared with Adept), but Leonardo is just so bad. Honestly Leonardo works if you resign to the fact that he’s a temporary unit. Master Seal him up for the instant stat boosts and utilize his exclusive access to bows (including the quite frankly ridiculous Lughnasadh) for chip and a unique application of Beastfoe where he can obliterate an enemy and then use his lack of 1 range to plug a hole and not face 10,000 tigers on enemy phase. It’s not like secretly top tier tech but it’s unique, workable and requires very little investment.

Endorph posted:yeah but thats just a thing that always happens in fe, guys who were antagonists joining you. see also jaffar and nino or whatever. im just tired of like, an actual route split/multiple protagonists on different sides/w/e. it can work, but literally every game since awakening has done that shtick. its been a decade. im good. I’d be fine if they would bring back splits like in FE5-FE7. Just having different routes for a couple levels before converging again.

Endorph posted:I like that misha, an actually playable unit, isnt in, but her dead mom who has five lines in fe4 is I had to look up who you’re talking about and she’s one of the two evil pegasus knights in chapter 4? And she’s the one less relevant to the chapter’s plot? Truly a bizarre pick. Biggest impression she gives is that like every filler female villain is a palette swap of her.

Tism the Dragon Tickler posted:RD plot had a few extremely glaring problems (lol blood pacts) but was overall pretty good otherwise imo IIRC one of the really bad problems (the Black Knight’s warp powder malfunctioning and creating an inferior copy) was changed in localization (he let Ike win to see him at full strength)

Boss convos are awesome in RD quote:LEVAIL: I joined the army after I came of age. But it was different after you all left. It was as if you took its spirit with you. The only exception was General Zelgius, the general of Duke Persis's army.

Endorph posted:i thought that made the 3h cast way less memorable and distinct tbh. they just came to you in a giant blob. getting characters throughout the game means you can get to know people as they come in and their introductions can express their personalities a bit more. like they're still some of the better characters in the series but mechanics matter too. pent is a pretty bland character but hes super memorable because he pops up and solos an entire desert map and then joins a few maps later and youre super pumped to get that beast on your team. We haven’t had a hard enemy recruit in a while and that goes a long way in making a unit memorable. You know Ayra’s a badass because you had to navigate a death puzzle to even recruit her. Jamka’s section of Chapter 1 is hugely contrived to make him look way more powerful than he is for the rest of the game and I’d argue that is the main factor in his popularity.

How tolerable is the teal haired pegasus lady, Chloe I think? This is a bizarre way to look at the game and I’d probably just cut my losses if I were you

cheetah7071 posted:clanne is like, laser focused on having exactly the right stats for hard mode. Exactly one-rounding enemies that would otherwise take three combats Mages look to be really good this entry. Standard infantry movement, Tomes themselves have decent Might and being able to ignore the colossal terrain bonuses is so clutch. They can’t Break so they’re not an end-all-be-all solution but they seem to have a lot less obvious weaknesses this time around.

I’m really liking the map design so far. Chapter 4 splitting the party and having Louis hold the line off to the side with Chloe picking off the mages is a lot of fun and I hope it keeps up this level of quality.

I don’t know why people are agonizing over exp gains so much? If promoting lets you hit some kind of benchmark on the map you’re on (surviving another round of combat, killing in one round) it’s probably a good idea to promote.

On the one hand I’m salty cause I lost a perfect Alear level up, on the other Lumera putting on jet shoes to move halfway across the map and plaster Vander is hilarious and I wouldn’t have it any other way

Tae posted:I don't think mystical is that special or amazing because casters have access to the tome that literally can't miss. The Surge line is 1 range though. The other thing to consider is that Engages give different bonuses to different unit types. Byleth, for example, only gives Thyrsus to Mystical types.

GiantRockFromSpace posted:God, I'm crippled with decision paralysis after chapter 8. On reclassing had no problem, just put Jean as a Lance fighter (since there's apparently no natural users of the class? wtf IS) and Anna a Mage. It’s hosed up, Lance infantry is objectively the sickest class line in the series and I hate how rare it is

Stat totals are iffy at best at telling a full picture since there’s clearly main and second string stats. Getting any of Str/Mag, Spd or Def feels like a good level up, whereas a level containing all of HP, Dex, Res and Luck feels barely a step up from an empty level.

Augus posted:the tiki paralogue wasn't as bad as people made it sound (on hard at least) but I did it after chapter 9 so my guys were at a good level for it. it did take 25 turns, though. the dragons were manageable by just using my high-HP units as bait to lure them out and then shooting them down with longbows, wind magic, and engage specials. once the reinforcements start coming in it gets a bit dangerous but I just designated a group to stay in the middle and play meatgrinder while the rest of my army hauled rear end to kill Tiki as quick as possible by trapping her in the hallway and using a bunch of engage skills. I did it ASAP and it was really balls the wall, but probably my favorite map so far. My favorite rewind from the chapter is going back a turn to do nothing because I needed the Mage to stay put so Clanne could Warp Ragnarok into the Silver Card area.
