What's the next FE game you'd like to see get the Echoes treatment?

Enjoying it way more than I did Awakening or any of Fates. I haven't played every game in the series, but it's currently my favorite of the bunch (that is, of the 6 or so I've played).

I think the gaiden mechanics are my favorite in the series, so I can look past the maps.
>>
I don't think it's going to be one of my all-time favorites in the series but I'm enjoying it. It's a solid entry and reaffirms that I still love FE at its core and my lukewarm reaction to Fates could just be a bump in the road.

Makes sense if they are bringing japanese only titles to the west for the first time.

Echoes was by the IntSys team that did Code Name S.T.E.A.M, which itself had a lot of love for Gaiden (the developers have a fondness for it, they said in an interview).

The "FE team" has been working on FE Switch so I don't expect any of the good QoL changes that came out of Echoes to continue in that game, rather they'll just continue from what they thought worked in Fates.

Really, Echoes just shows the S.T.E.A.M team was dealt the short end of the stick and that they have potential.

There's are Mila Statues in earlier parts of the game if you just wanted to promote your units.

6 Acts. The fifth is basically just one long dungeon while the sixth is post-game stuff with a bunch of boat maps and a 10-floor dungeon filled with enemies with huge stats

>>378062963
Two acts with one lord, two acts with both lords, the final dungeon, and the postgame.
>>
>>378060798

Chapter 4 is as long as 3.
Chapter 5 is one big dungeon.
Chapter 6 is post-game, also a dungeon and a few boat maps.

who are you guys planning to use the villager fork on? i was thinking boey at first but i might give it to lukas or forsyth for an extra dread fighter

>>378065892
All 3 of those games are similar to Gaiden in that EXP is an unlimited resource, and the maps are open with not a lot of natural choke points. I'd at least try one of the games that isn't like that, like FE7.
>>
>>378061650
I wish they'd go back and add the other characters into steam. I want the music without having to use ike. And Marth too I guess.

>>378067376
7, titled simply "Fire Emblem", on the GBA. It's a little outdated in presentation but it has an extensive tutorial and is a solid entry all around.

If you're worried that a GBA game will be too outdated to get into, try Awakening on 3DS.
>>
>>378067376
-Start with FE7 aka "Blazing sword" or just Fire emblem GBA, bit old but still amazing top game up to date in terms of strategy/story/replayability its a very solid game overall.

-Then, if you wish to know how FE7 really ends, go for FE6 aka "Sword of seals" also for GBA.

-If wanna skip story, go FE8 aka "Sacred Stones" is a easier fire emblem overall but its just to finish the GBA trilogy, also the story is incredibly dark and good, its just the pace what tilts manchildren so dont listen to haters. if you take the time to enjoy the plot you will love it.

-Then, you can go either Gamecube's FE9 "Path of radiance" or FE10 "Radiant dawn". I highly recomend you Path of radiance since its an amazing story too, and the -only- different one where the MC isnt a baby Lord spoilered by his kingdom and allied territories.

-From here, you can choose to play the hardest FE games, FE4 "Genealogy of the holy war" - arguably the BEST fire emblem and in my opinion one of the best game and story implemented together-, FE5 "Thracia 776" cannonically known as the hardest one, its kind of a complement for FE4.

-FE1,2 and 3 are very outdated, if you wanna play Gaiden(FE2), you better play Echoes, Shadows of valentia, its an outstanding game. FE1 and 3 arent much a good thing, and the remakes feel weird because of the art(and pretty much almost everything) so i dont recommend you either those or their DS remakes.

-FE Fates and Awakening are solid by themselves, you can play them whenever you want, only after GBA games so you get used to support system and stuff. Warning: Becarefull of waifus, these games are full of waifu-bait, i personally hated about Fatesf the obssesion everyone has on the MC.

Have fun/.

>>
>>378070152
Most FE games don't have amazing stories. They tend to play around the same plot points and usually don't go outside the box. Fates tried but the execution was screwed up and I don't doubt that Revelation (the "almost everyone is happy" route) fucked with the main premise of having to choose between two families. The Radiance games did go a lot more into political intrigue and (a bit hamfisted) racism but that too wasn't as good because of Blood Pacts and surprise-Goddess boss.

Fates' premise didn't really stray from the series norm at all. There was still a good kingdom and a bad kingdom, except now they were even more generic than usual.

Are the amiibo summons actually good? I have yet to try them
>>
>>378068989
Your post seems to imply that you can play FE9 and FE10 in any order. I'd say that you should always play FE9 first since FE10's story is quite reliant on FE9's story.

Also FE11 was a bit barebones but FE12 was fine.
>>
>>378070152
>BUT THE DRAGONS/GODS.
Literally every fire emblem.
>>
>>378071169
Weapon Triangle was largely useless bullshit to begin with, but given the RNG rates in this game you might miss it a bit. No Axes that you control though, so that's fucked.
>>
>>378071169
No
>>
>>378071169
Weapon triangle being absent has made the game a hundred times more enjoyable. Makes the game more focused on class abilities and positioning rather than rock paper scissors.

Gods/Dragons are pretty much never the true villain in Fire Emblem. They may be the final boss but they're rarely the instigator.

I've been enjoying it a lot, I accepted that Gaiden was the Simon's Quest, Adventure of Link, etc. of the series from the beginning, so having repeating maps for general areas and stuff doesn't really bother me.
As for what I'd like to see, FE4 and then FE5 I guess, I haven't gotten around to playing them yet, and a remake would be a surefire way to speed up the process of me getting around to them, plus, to me, it'd make sense to remake the older games first anyways.

It's simply not told well at all. Corrin comes off as being totally spineless (how justified this is depends on how much you like Corrin) and unrealistically dedicated to killing as few people as possible for serving a king that is only okay with maximum death. The justification for Corrin being okay with invading Hoshido is really dumb as well (magic orb that shows you the truth but it breaks after 1 use so we can't actually tell anyone teehee).

Generally you want to reclass the villagers at 10, but there is no harm in reclassing at 3. It makes little difference

>>378074418
If you're going for max stats you can hold out until 20. It just takes a long-ass time due to how EXP gain works in Echoes and the instant stat gains from promotion to match class bases makes it a moot point for most purposes.

Losing your entire army and getting an entirely new army isn't functionally different from beating Shadow Dragon and then just playing a different game.

On the other hand, just killing a unit off for drama and giving nothing in return is just a kick in the pants.There's a reason they decided Jagen should fall off in usefulness rather than be killed off.

At least teleport to one of my useless archers you dumb fucking asshole. Or maybe you could attack Alm who won't one-shot you with ranged counter attacks.

The AI is really stupid in this, even on Hard. I sometimes make mistakes that would guarantee a reset in any other fire emblems, but in this one I feel like the enemy tries to split up as best they can and not focus on the weaker units when possible.

Yes, because that's my fetish.

Chapter 5 is basically the end chapter of FE4: P1 anyways. Your 'investment' in those characters, both gameplay (ie spending time to baby up a character) and storywise is completed. I'm fine with that. Fucking with someone's investment in a game is a dick move when they still have a whole bunch of the game left, which is why traitors/plot deaths of single party members are a pain in the ass.

Archer or Cav Boey? Gave him the free Pitchfork. Wanted him to work because I like his chemistry with Mae and he has a nice design. 4 base Spd is decent normally but pretty shit for a Mage.

My concern is the fact that you get the Whitewings in Celica's route. From my experience after playing Arc 1, Pegs tend to be better than Cavs, or maybe it's just Clive being generally underwhelming and Clair being incredible. Also since Celica's route seems to have a ton of monsters and terrain, I'm not sure if using a Cav is a good idea.

Not sure what to do about Atlas (probably will make him an Archer though not sure about his hitrates) and I will be picking Sonya over Deen.

Not really, although they didn't really have a whole lot to begin with.
Alm has a heavy focus on family and a close attachment to anyone he deems as such and pretty much goes nuclear when the concept is involved. He also doesn't give a fuck about the enemy and doesn't hesitate to kill fuckers unless he has a good reason not to.
Celica still has her desire to solve shit on her own because she doesn't want her husbando to get hurt and still acts like a cunt to Alm, although they did add in a few scenes showing how much she regretted acting like that. She also embodies the Zofian lifestyle in that she believes that everything will be solved if they find and bring back "muh earth mother".
She's also still a dumb cunt, except this time she has FOUR people to slap some sense into her.
>>
>>378078372
They just need to tone the MU's role down from "Actually the big bad"/"Actually responsible for all half the main lord's legacy"/"Basically the centre of the universe in their games" to "Some guy who is part of the army, and also they're you". FE7/FE12 were close, characters spoke to (You) and there's reasons why (You) would be closer to some characters than others but the game is still about Lord Fencer fighting dragons.

Some tips:

Killer Bow is the best bow in this game by far. Crit weapons are king, and on top of that Killer Bow has the Hunter's Volley combat art, which is a 2-hit attack. This essentially allows Archers to double attack ANYONE. Killer Bow turns Archers from puny stone throwers into gods.

Mage Ring is the best ring for your mages. You get 2 of them, equip them on your best mages. The +2 range is HUGE, it gives Mages incredibly attack range and allows them to kill enemies without getting counterattacked.

Brave Swords are OP as fuck, crit is king. It has shitty combat arts but the crit more than makes up for it

I've found all the legendary weapons to actually be incredibly disappointing

Each Overclass shrine is it's own DLC. So Spartan is one DLC, Exemplar is another etc.

Although you're right about the weapon thing. Siegmund might be a better choice for Spartan, get Sieglinde in there for Enchantress to hammer home that "Sacred Stones is Gaiden GBA" thing.

So I just started chapter 4, all of my characters are sitting around level 10-14, and I haven't changed anyone's class yet except for my villagers and the mandatory Celica class change.

Should I even bother changing characters classes now? Or should I just wait til 20? The game is still pretty freaking easy, and looking at the stat gains I get from class changing most of my characters, it's like 1 or 2 points, so I don't really see the point when I could just get a few more levels and easily outpace the class change stats beforehand.

How much longer is the game? Am I going to run into issues with difficulty because I'm waiting to change classes? Are there like special abilities to be learned and shit?

Gray - Merc
Kliff - Mage

Faye - Cleric or Peg Knight whatever you want to do. You get one of each so you are pretty much just getting a second of one or the other
At certain levels everyone in your party outside of Alm can class change into their higher class. Better to just class change as quickly as possible just because of the low growth rate. You will most likely not reach the higher class base so just promote them quickly and just learn arts with the items.

Atlas - Merc or Archer

The are the most agreed choices.

True just explaining what are some good options for each unit. Flying units aren't as weak as normal FE plus the weird way flying and archer damage is done.

I think it's just effective damage in general, feels like a +10 bonus to me.

Honestly I'm enjoying the simplistic maps. It actually makes things a lot harder, with the terrain bonuses distributed in such a way that it doesn't always benefit your guys and you have to be careful about not letting the enemy team take cover. It's also really cool how you can be on the defensive if someone runs into you on the overworld, giving them the first turn and putting you in starting point usually assigned to the enemies. It's so much better than Fatewakening.

Both are good, pick who you like best.
You get a Brave Sword if you kill Deen tho
>>
>>378084207
depends, both are good

do you want an edgemeister or ara ara~?

Sonya supports with Genny, which is the only support Genny even gets

plus you get Deen's sword from killing him anyway and you're pretty saturated with dread fighters in Celica's route
>>
>>378082483
Normal, I never really see a reason to play on hard myself, even on repeated playthroughs since the normal difficulty always gives me enough challenge in FE.
Though if I did ironman runs, then I'd probably see a reason to switch.

Sonya if you want a to put effort into a mage that will learn excailbur and can teleport, Deen if you want a strong myrm right off the bat.

So why are archers (Bow Knights) virtually mandatory and absolutely bonkers?

The only hard counter to killing cantors
The only viable unit to successfully assassinate leader units in bullshit Celica swamp chapters
Absolutely bonkers damage with a Killer Bow

Thoughts on illusions?
I feel like they're super-useful in open maps but I feel like using them deprives units of a lot of experience
>>
>>378084851
I've found that enemies target them even when they could kill squishy healers, which is nice

and in my experience they've mostly just done chip damage to enemies

I usually do it if a character needs an attack boost if I don't have any other weapons to give, or if a new weapon fucks with their speed too much. Tobin was pretty much using a 4 star Iron Bow the whole game until Rudolph's map. Also it's not like you have anything else to spend it on.
Sometimes though you have to upgrade weapons a bit to evolve them into different or more rarer ones.

>>378085838
Avatars and romance takes me out of it, I find characters more interesting if I didn't have any involvement in their creation, and I get a much better feeling seeing certain characters marry after the war is over, rather than having to choose who marries who on the battlefield, on top of those stupid POV scenes when the avatar unit marries someone.
>>
>>378085865
Depends on the weapon. The rapier you get from forging a brave sword has a skill that guarantees a hit of that hit will kill. Blessed weapons also turn into the three regalia if you forge them although you can already find the Gradivus in the chapter 5 dungeon.

Forsyth has worse availability and comes underleveled, though.
Lukas should have quite a lot of levels by the time you get Forsyth, since he and Alm are the only characters that don't just do chip damage against the really early enemies. Hell, Lukas might even be promoted at that point.
Sure, Forsyth might end up better if trained up, but that requires a lot of favoritism/grinding. He's basically just Amelia.

>>378085865
Very. Longbow/Killer Bow are both really good, mainly for their skills. Rapier can be made on Celica's side and sent to Alm which puts in a shitload of work. You can also get Silver weapons a lot earlier than normal from forging (actually, I'm not even sure if you find any period on Alm's side), though I think the Silver Bow isn't worth using over the previous ones I mentioned.
>>
>>378072993
I agree with this 100%, My Lukas is at the same level, or 1 level higher than Forsyth, and Forsyth outdoes him in almost every way.
>>
>>378086216

>>
>>378084851
They're good as meat shields and to chip away at bulky bosses, I use them occasionally
>>
Are the Zofian nobility supposed to commonly practice polygamy?

The King is of course mentioned to have had several wives, but Lukas also mentions having a half brother from a different mother. The Zofians are supposed to be degenerate as shit so I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
>>
>>378086929
yes, Dread Fighters are Swordmasters with the bonus of having +5 RES bonus and receive halved magic damage
>>
>>378085539
They're contractually obligated to say that when Silque warps them behind the enemy.
>>
>>378086902
Lukas isn't supposed to be fast or deal tons of damage past the early game. He's meant to take one damage and deal some hefty chip damage, so that they can be finished off by somebody like Gray or Mathilda.

>>378086929
They're Swordmasters, except replace the crit bonus with +1 Mov and a shitload of Res.
>>
Why does the dialogue feel so much breezier and alive in this game?

I like the inter-party banter on the battlefield too. The primary FE team should really be taking notes on how to do party dynamics correctly.

dread fighters are the 'i dont want to have any challenges anymore, i want to break this game in half' class. they have bonus resistance on their class higher than the res stat of most of the rest of your cast, they have another bonus that straight up halves all magic damage, and just for fun they can reclass as their tier 1 villager so that they can get infinite levels.

Eugenics aside, Fates is better from a mechanical standpoint because Pair Up is much more balanced, and the enemies are smart enough to use it.

>>378088434
That only applies if the other spectrum makes no sense. Takumi was the one with skepticism, his anger was justified, he was aware of his own flaws (drama cd incorporated on this), and had to come to terms. He was the best character in Fates.

I don't know anything about Camilla, but Faye is nothing like Tharja, sure she's obsessed with Alm, but she's not some crazy yandere who would harm anyone who gets near him.

At the very least, she's willing to kill anyone he wants her to kill. She's pretty unhinged.

Do we have any kind of info about DLCs coming after the ones already announced ?
There are some lines that suggest Berkut and Fernand as playable characters but it could be cut content.

DLC is crazy expensive in this game so I don't want to buy what I don't need.
I'm already planning to buy the Cipher and prequel DLCs, but there's no use to the item farm and overclass DLCs if nothing is coming after that.
>>
>>378089351
It would be nice if Echoes got something like Awakening's Apotheosis, but a dungeon instead of a single map.
>>
>>378089323
She's willing to killing enemies in his name, yes, but if he were to want someone who was on their team dead for whatever reason, I highly doubt Faye would just run up and kill them without a second thought.
I'd go with what Alm suspects in one of the supports which is that the war may just be taking its toll on her, and that's why she says that stuff.

She's really not that crazy, people just over exaggerate it. She'd never kill Celica, or anyone close to Alm, because that's not the kind of character she is. She's obsessed with Alm, but not to the point where she'd do anything to get the competition out of the way.

So what's the point of Archers in Echoes?

Since the triangle weakness shtick doesn't exist in this game what is their purpose? Mages can do ranged attacks more reliably than Archers. Do Archers have an access to some amazing skill of sort later on or something?
>>
>>378090248
>She'd never kill Celica, or anyone close to Alm, because that's not the kind of character she is. She's obsessed with Alm, but not to the point where she'd do anything to get the competition out of the way.
Well to be fair Tharja doesn't do that either. She might talk big game but she can't kill any of your units.
>>
>>378055874
It's alright. The maps are kinda meh but I'm still enjoying it. Do wish I wasn't determined to get kill Jedah though. It's basically just resetting till Celica gets a ragnarok crit.
>>
>>378090346
They have better range, their final class gives then better movement and the Killer Bow is OP.
>>
>>378090346
Archers can get up to 5 range early on, while mages get up to 3 early on.
Basically Archers have more range, plus they're handy for taking down enemy mages with strong spells like mire.
>>
>>378090346
Archers have insane range when they class up, and if they're sufficiently RNG blessed, they can murder the shit out of anything that's not a Knight before it gets close.
>>
>>378090346
Mages do magic damage, anon.

Archers are good for picking off enemy squishies with high RES, they also fuck up fliers.
>>
So people are saying that the maps suck.
But how do they compare to Awakening, because those maps were pretty fucking terrible.

Is this just because it's a remake and has to stay true to the original maps?
>>
>>378090191
>>378090248
Camilla never tries to kill whoever Corrin is close to or fucks either outside of Birthright, which is due to difference circumstances. As for Tharja, I dunno if she'd try and kill someone but she does try and curse them and would probably use that to drive them apart.
>>
>>378055874
I haven't updated my 3ds since Fates. I was using rxtools for that. Apparently this game doesn't work on the old firmware. What do I need to get to run it?
>>
>>378090346
They have more Range and Movement than Mages.
They also have Skills, such as the Silver Bow's Skill that's basically a 1-turn Silence Staff. Another Bow has a "enemy can't move for 1-turn" Skill. Stuff like that.
Generally they are more support-geared, while Mages are pure offense/healing.
>>
>>378090671
The maps are worse in design, but the mechanics make them more interesting than Awakening since you can't just pair-up and nuke every unit in the wide-open map.
>>
>>378090403
Well yeah, of course she doesn't do that either, it'd be a terrible gameplay element if she did, but my point in that they're very different, Tharja is a crazy stalker that would even use her own family as test subjects for new curses she had come up with, Faye is just a girl who is simply obsessed with Alm, and she can even accept when he turns her down.
>>
>>378090671
They're about Awakening bad. Maybe slightly better because there's more terrain. But on the other hand, Awakening did have a couple of memorable maps that weren't awful.
>>
>>378055874
What's the game plan for that one map with the dude that makes earthquakes?
>>
>>378090671
Most of the maps are about the same as Awakening's maps but there are a few notable exceptions that are incredibly shitty.

Although it is a Gaiden remake so the maps had to be the same, otherwise they may as well have just made an entirely new game.

In my experience it's usually objectives that aren't simply "route" or unique landscapes.
It also doesn't hurt to have special events happening, like thieves, villages, or reinforcements.

I think the biggest problem I have with recent Fire Emblem games is the focus on making the best characters you can. Instead of a focus on completing maps in the most advantageous way possible. It really shifts the focus from fun, memorable, but tense maps, to large open fields for your murder machines to slowly crawl forward. Anyone have any recommendation for games that did this right?

I had the same problem. You need to upgrade from rxtools to Luma3DS. Thankfully, it's incredibly easy.
Literally just drag-and-drop two files to the root of the SD card and your problem is solved.
Ironically I can't find it right now. I think it was on GBAtemp, and the dude had a windwaker link avatar.
>>
>>378091513
Side objectives, like the ones you mentioned, help push "Rout" maps more interesting, the core idea around every map is forcing you into situations where you have to not only deal with the enemies in front of you, but prepare for what comes next. If you look at Nuibaba's abode, that map is VERY slow, it's best to Warp/Rescue combo the enemy spawner if Python can't take him out, and the pick off the rest of the guys one by one until the boss is dead. That map sucks.

Having to act faster in order to secure a chest or village with an item would completely change that, because you can't just sit on your ass for as long as you like.

And not having maps with a single fucking choke point is a good idea.

You probably used menuhax like 90% of people, so just copy those two files and you should be done.

has anyone bsught any DLC? i only got the astral temple one so far but getting shit like brave swords and ridersbane real early is super helpful i also got lucky and found a draco shield and zweihander
>>
>>378091513
Thracia 776 is by far the most "map-focused" game in the series.
Every single map in the game has an objective directly tied with the story, the game has the fatigue system to prevent you from creating murder machines, side objectives on every map (they range from simple things like Villages to "oh shit this guy has X so I have to Capture him or Steal it).

Let me use Chapter 19 as an example.
>Leif sent some of his army to reclaim Alster after he reclaimed Leonster
>Most of the people sent there died, including one of his advisors, which causes Leif to lose a leadership star
>In the map, your army is split in two. Half is right next to the escape tile, which is the goal of the chapter, while the other half is very far down south, right next to a shitload of enemy Horse Units.
>You can't change Formation in this game, by the way.
>Map is basically "get those fucks up to the escape tile ASAP, screw the EXP"
>You can also recruit only one of two characters, because the characters used to recruit one of them come from different sides of a route split. Both units command a battalion of horse units, which turn to allied units once/if you recruit one of them, which helps your units Escape safely.
>>
>>378075802
Seems like heaven actually, kid units actually get to be useful instead of just being there.
>>
>>378093084

That sounds awesome.
So what is this leadership star thing?
Was Leif forced into losing a star, or is it avoidable?
>>
>amiibo summons scale with your level
Neat

I'm partway through chapter 3 and I feel like my team comp is fucked on Alm's side, while Celica gets all the good characters. Is this normal or is it just luck?
I have to baby half of Alm's side, while everyone on Celica's side shits all over stuff, even Boey.
>>
>>378093161

That's what I want.
Like Shadow Dragon forces you to make a decision on who dies, Gandalf style.

If you're going to have children you need to have a time gap where the old characters die off or become too old to fight. The shit they pulled in Fates was pants on head retarded.
>>
>>378093284
Mind always ended up 50:50. I have a ton of characters that suck on Alm and Celica's side. Difference is Celica's side carries harder. Saber sucks? Doesn't matter, Mae destroys with her spells and Leon is the based faggot of tons of range.
>>
>>378093284
Chapter 3 has you recruit Mathilda and Delthea though, and they run train on everything when you let them. A lot of your other units are either underleveled or Clive though, so if your villagers got bad growths you get pretty fucked.
>>
>>378092237

>What's the next game that should get the echoes treatment

Despite judral rightfully having the first dibs, personally I'd prefer 6/7. Fire emblem echoes: Blades of Elibe. Or better yet make a prequel to 7 called The Scouring blade, with Roland, Athos, Brimmond, and the other legends and aid them in their own quest. Would be sick, I just beat 7 again just now so I'm probably having that fuel this post.
>>
When is the first opportunity to forge weapons?
>>
>>378093662
Act 3, the first villages you come across.
>>
>>378093228
Leadership Stars give +3% Hit and Evade to each unit on the map allied with said leader. Of course, you aren't the only one with them.
A lot of times, enemy bosses have them, which means you sometimes need to cheese chapters by warping somebody over to take out the boss ASAP so that the generics become less dangerous (this isn't too bad, however, since Warp has infinite range). Cyas, a boss appearing in Chapter 17A and Chapter 22, has an insane 10 leadership stars, giving every enemy on the map +30% to Hit and Evade.
>>
>>378093228
Certain characters in your party such as Fin (Leaf's guardian) and Xavier (Lenster general) have a special stat called a leadership star, which gives +3 hit and avoid to all allied units if they are deployed. Leaf by default has zero, but two advisor characters join over the course of the game and each one is represented by giving Leaf a leadership star.
The NPC advisor's death is unavoidable, it's part of the story.

Enemy bosses have leadership stars as well. In fact, one recurring boss has ten of them.
>>
>>378093905
>>378093909

That's cool as fuck, and makes sense that killing the leader would weaken the army. They really need to add something like this back in.
>>
>>378094001
I think it came back in Radiant Dawn
>>
>>378093559
I haven't fielded Mathilda yet, since I'm worried she'll be a shitty pre-promote with even less growths than normal.
So far my only standouts are Alm, Clair, merc Gray despite averaging 1 on level-ups, and cavalier Faye who destroys everything.
Lukas is decent as a wall and that's it. Forsyth, Python, and Clive are crap.

Everyone's sitting at around lvl 10-12 right now. I'll probably grind at the shrine and if the slackers don't pick it up I'll just promote them and see if that helps with anything.
>>
>>378094141
Mathilda's growths are just as insane as her bases, and paladin can additionally promote to gold knight in this game so you don't have to worry about that part.
Gaiden and Echoes both favor early promotion due to the way the bonuses work, so if they're all at 10 and you're still struggling you should try that.

>>378094141
Sorry to say, but Mathilda has some of the best bases AND growths in the game.
>>
>>378093559
My Mathilda hasn't been anything special so far.
>>
>>378094318
I know the promotion gains are only to bump you to class minimums, but don't I still lose out on the gains from the skipped levels?
>>
>>378094474
If you wanted to minmax stat growths for the postgame dungeon, then you should probably go for the full 20/20/20, because eventually you do beat out the class bases. But that's not recommendable for a first run, since exp gain massively slows down past the 10 mark, and the growths aren't super great like they were in Fates or Awakening.

For the most part all you really achieve with delaying promotion is giving yourself a gimped army unless you really grind it out.
>>
>>378094141
All pre-promotes are good in this game. There's only 5 of them, but they're all strong units. You get 3 on Alm's side, but 2 of them are late. On Celica's side you have an optional one a little more than halfway through the game and one late in the game. Again, all of them are pretty strong.

I noticed that the units recruited progressively get stronger as the game goes bar Kliff, Clive, Saber, and Python. There are no bad recruits in act 3, both units recruited at the end of at 3 are extremely powerfulproviding you train them and all 3 recruits in act 4 are great units.
>>
>>378084207
Deen is the better unit stat-wise and Dread Fighters are busted.

Sonya has much more plot-relevance, provides Genny's only support and is still good since she has Excalibur right out of the box.

Killing Deen also lets you have the Brave Sword before the grueling Grieth's Fortress map, which is much more useful than Sonya's Steel Shield.
>>
>>378094782
There's nothing good about Nomah.
>>
>>378094141
>Clair
Wow, really? She's by far the absolute worst on Alms side for me, and the worst Peg.Knight I've ever used in FE, she has good SPD and LCK, but those are her only standouts, She has terrible HP/DEF (21/4) so she gets rocked in 2 hits by anything, and I've had to spoon feed her kills since she first joined the team, Faye, who I made a Peg.Knight has turned out a much much better unit, and she's the same level.
>>
I hate when you can grind in games like these.

Every time I enter a temple I am
>Get Atlas to Mercenary
>gee, Saber is one level away from being a Dread Fighter, let me just round up real quick

>oh look at that, in two levels Palla becomes a Falcon Knight
>holy shit, Atlas is ready to become Mercenary
>My, my Catria is just 2 levels away from being a Falcon tol
And so on until my entrie team got to max class.
>>
>>378095358
Both of my playthroughts Clair has become an aboslute monster, giving her the Ridersbane lets her run train on the cav-heavy maps, you just have to make sure to keep her HP up.
>>
>>378095358
I guess my Clair is blessed then. I don't have her in my dungeon party so I can't look at the stats, but she's sitting around lvl 12. Maybe 25-26 hp, 12 str, decent skill, high spd obviously, and maybe 6 def. She's a pure glass cannon for me with a steel lance. The high skill and luck also gives her pretty good crit chance.
>>
Which DLC is best for grinding? I tried the 2nd EXP map but those terrors melted my army.
>>
>>378095358
If Clair is the worst you've seen then perhaps you haven't played many older Fire Emblems.

Her HP and Def problems get massively patched when she promotes (Falcon has 34 HP and 10 Def). I gave Clair the Ridersbane/Blessed lance to make up for her Atk issues and she's been awesome so far. I'm midway through chapter 4

For me Faye as a Cleric was insane. Physic that early got her crazy levels and promoted to saint by the dungeon in chapter 3. Moreover Reacue offers great Mobility all around specially when coupled with Silque's Warp.

Just warning you, Thracia 776 isn't in the greatest state right now. The most recent translation is mediocre and breaks the game. The only hope we have for a better translation is the Project Naga team, who basically said "we might do it".
Also, don't play it unless you play FE4 first, as the game is an midquel to FE4. As in it takes place during the events of FE4.

One other thing, the game is incredibly unforgiving. Armor units are useless because almost every enemy axe-user has a Hammer. Archers are the most useless they've ever been in the series due to Thracia's focus on the enemy phase. Not to mention shit like the fact that the Final Chapter completely hinges on whether or not you have a shitload of Door Keys. If not, you may have to play the entire game again since the Final Chapter might just be completely unbeatable.
>>
What if Intelligent Systems made a fire emblem game that is completely different from how you normally play?
> Exp no longer matters, you get stronger the more you augment your characters to how you choose through equipment you buy or find and skills you perfect.
> enemy drops are more frequent, more likely you get the entire enemies loot after defeating them giving you enough loot to sell off or use.
> have to keep track of stamina, when stamina reaches certain levels, it will affect them negatively through rates the more they continue to fights (something like stimulants or energy items can help replenish it, however, supplies are limited and the more you attempt to use the items, the lesser you regain energy back), if your stamina reaches bottom levels, your speed is greatly impeded as well as the ability to attack and connect as well as the amount of power into attacks.
> Prolonging the battle will only makes things worse as reinforcements will come in swarms and you get no exp. Fatigue will come and stamina will only come back at worse rates if you choose to abuse energy items or prolong the battle too long.
> Promotions will be based on how far your master of progress is regarding skills and powers you use in battle. Once you perfect a skill or mastery, you can promote any time as long as it is not during battle.
> Time is crucial, there is practice training among characters to master their skills but the duration is limited as the story will eventually force you to act , so use time wisely.
This removes the tedious random growth rates, puts actual strategy to try and finish the battle as quickly as possible. You get better rewards and equipment as well as discernable pathways to having certain skills and their effectiveness. What do you think?

You only get one armor in the whole game and the prepromoted general is so hard to get it's almost a joke

>Archers are useless
Agreed, but not because of the enemy phase, but becauae they can't capture. You can still scroll up Tania if you think she's cute people have done it.

>Final Chapter
You can bring Lifis, Pahn, blow warp staff or just have Sety Rewarp himself and kill half of the dreadlords. Tons of ways to finish the final map.

The game might have seemingly unforgiving parts. But you're just aa broken yourself. You can get literally every single weapon the enemy throws at you. Physics, Silence, Silence, Sleep and Berserk staves, Bolting, Sleep Sword.

The maps are good, cantors are challenging. However Gaiden maps and cantors are the fucking worst. Other than that it's an excellent game. The story is alright, it's not the retardation that was Fates and Awakening. Berkut is probably the best part of the story too, I feel hard for him.
If Alm actually killed Celica instead of Fire Emblem magic bullshit the story would've been top notch.

I'd like to see Genealogy get a remake, although it seems like we're just going to skip those a start remaking the GBA games I guess.

There's two translations. One of them only translates the Menus and leaves the dialogue untouched, while the other translates the dialogue but leaves some of the menus as a glitchy mess.
The last translation update we ever got was nearly 10 years ago, and the quality of said translation is questionable. See pic related.

>>378096310
I was just saying about how it's possible to fuck up and be unable to finish the final map, not that it was easy to do so. Plus, the only method there that is as safe as Door Keys is the Sety one, and even that requires that you know how the fuck to even get Sety.

It took me 3 fucking tries but I finally did it. Postgame is a fucking murder machine when you didn't grind at all. Grima was an obnoxiously difficult final boss, half my army literally could not even engage him without getting 1RKO'd. I lost 3 units in the final battle but good thing there's revival springs (don't even know why I bothered reviving them, not like there's anything else left in the game to do)
>>
>>378096702
The worst part about that image is that chapter 14 is actually a very relaxed map. Like, I remember Leif killing the roaming boss on his own without me even realizing it was actually a general.
>>
>>378096258
Through periods of training, it is unlikely you get stronger right in the middle of battle realistically. Mages will have to further their magic through studies. It is not likely you would perfect a skill during battle so you must create a sort of simulation during training period or hire a tutor to help you master a skill over time. But time is crucial so balance is key. You can still use unmastered skills during battle but less effective in damage, etc. Hence, time periods are crucial. You are technically not learning things instantly as time goes on. But you can definitely choose the skills you wish to learn and master over the time period.
>>
>>378096894
Huh. I thought he only showed up if you got to a certain place before some turn. Guess I was wrong.

>>378096649
Nigga he had solid 3's across the board when I first got him. I ain't promoting that fucker until he gets at level 20 as a villager. The level 20 merc is just a coincidence because I'm trying to level everyone else like Sonya and Est.

I for one love how much better Alm and Celica's designs are. Especially the Awakening art makes them look dorky as hell.
>>
>>378096310
>armors
Dalshien is useful in the Manster arc but a poor choice to invest your exp in for long term use. Xavier isn't actually that hard to get if you're willing to expend some resources (thief staff, sleep staff, etc) and he's a good unit that I would recommend using.

>archers
Agreed, they're poor units in FE5. Capturing is one part and they also have generally underwhelming stats (including PCC). But even the worst units in FE5 are salvageable since the enemies are quite weak. Also, Tanya supports two great characters and Selphina comes with a good enough bow rank to use the brave bow that Glade gives her, and that bow is incredible (Note: Xavier's a better archer than any of the archers).

>unforgiving parts, broken stuff
FE5 presents a lot of puzzle-like challenges but it also gives you the tools to overcome those challenges in number of ways. That's what makes it so fun.

You approaching the range of the boss is is the trigger, but you can sieze the map without talking to him and getting Cyas instead. Cyas is cool too as he has 3 leadership stars (deploying him permanently buffs everyones hit and avoid by 10), but he lacks Holsety.
>>
>>378097035
The basic idea behind chapter 14 is that it can be a relaxed map if you want it to be, e.g. you can turtle up with unarmed cavalry and be completely safe, or you can face more danger and expend a bit more resources in order to obtain a lot of exp and some really neat treasure.

I think the mobile general boss is pretty threatening as far as FE5 enemies go since he has a master weapon, FE5's enemies are just weak.
>>
>>378097474
Yeah, I don't think Cyas is worth using over Sety.
It's funny, Cyas is actually a pretty decent prepromote, but gets completely overshadowed by "so fast he overflows his speed stat" Sety. (Yes I know he only does that in FE4)
Also why the fuck did they localize his name to Ced? Sety sounds way cooler.
>>
>>378097530
The roaming boss doesn't have a master weapon, IIRC. You have plenty of turns to wipe everything out, talk to villages and get the Rezire. You absolutely need to pop a use of Rescue and Warp to get the Dragon Lance, though.

Then again I did played agressively on one end because I tested out Vantage Olwen by killing the ballista on the left with her. Shit was so fucking cash.

In a warpless playthrough I used sleep and thief to disable the main boss and the long range ballista, then sent Dean and Eda to collect the loot. There's a window between the waves of armors that they can fly south, so you don't need to deal with the ballistae that trap you in the city. I could have sent someone to pick up Resire as well but I didn't need it.

In a previous run I disabled one of the eastern ballistae with thief and killed the other one then I walled in the northeast sector of the city. I managed to feed Homer a ton of levels and capped most of his stats by first letting enemies suicide onto him while on the throne, then in front of the throne, then I let him kill the dark mage reinforcements.

>vantage olwen
Definitely a cool combo but I'm too cowardly to rely on it because of the accuracy cap.
