I didn't want to use the baby mechanic.

Beating a fire emblem using save states is something I haven't done since 1999 when I was 11 and the games were still only in Japanese and the only way to play them was trial and error using save states on an emulator.

>>379046117
>It was tedious then so I want it to be tedious now.
But hey, who am I to decide how you get your fun. I thought it was a welcomed addition personally.
the perfect compromise between "everyone comes back after battle so who cares" and "oops that 2% crit really surprised me! time to reset again!"
>>
>>379046679
The turnwheel is only necessary in Echoes because they didn't fix how inconsistent everything was from Gaiden.
>>
>>379046679
Winning with savestates is like not even winning at all. It's like you've cheesed the whole game.
>>
>>379046779

Sure, but still, the mechanic is well balanced with its limited use and how you cant use it if the lord dies.
There is literally nothing wrong with it.

>>379046801
Not really, since its use is limited, you still have to think through every action you take.

It just saves you time when you mess up.
>>
>>379047554
You get way too many uses of it per battle. Its what 10+ later in the game?
>>
>>379045472
You have to go back far enough to before they died, dumbass
>>
>>379046779
It's not necessary at all though, really.

It's nice in that you don't have to restart the whole fight though, especially in longer, protracted battles, and bother with loading everything up again. Really, it's an ideal addition.
>>
>>379047948
I agree its nice since the gameplay in echoes isn't the strong point so why bother forcing you to keep slogging through it. Would've still preferred better gameplay with no turnwheel but at that point it wouldn't be Gaiden anymore.
>>

I've been using Python and Tobin to pick off some of the guys with the death tomes but I still see no way to kill Nuibaba without getting hounded by like five other enemies.
My Faye is a pegasus knight so while she is fucking up the gargoyles I can't send someone in and then Rescue them so I'm at a loss

Warp alm in to destroy the cunt, sent in movement force of cavaliers to breach the back since mathilda is a thing. Bow knights / sniper / mages picks off gargoyles. Pegasus knights just are there to pick off gargoyles once you ping the enemy bow knight to death.

The Japanese voices are still the best, however unlike the past two games it is perfectly acceptable to play it in English since the voices are good and the script is mostly intact.

I hate how the game is fully voiced. I like voices in combat and cutscenes, but every line of dialogue is too much. I can read just fine and faster than the shitty voices so every line is like

Dub. I didn't like some voices like Est or Clive, but some of the scenes were way more emotional with english vo. Like the one before Berkut seals the deal.

It's not hard just annoying since you have to keep pining him for 1 damage over and over again while he heals for 5 points every turn. Fun to just put it on your Cleric or Mage and have them walk into the enemy side and watch them destroy everything.

Which Citra version can run this game reliably?
>>
>>379044837
Personally, I choose to not use it because I'm used to just resetting anyways, plus I'd just make reckless decisions non-stop without consequence if I let myself use it freely.
Only time I ever used it was after seeing a lot of story and examining stuff without saving, then Delthea died in the first battle where I was trying to get her up to par with everyone else, and I didn't want to go through all that again, on that note, when does Delthea stop needing to be babysat by 2 or more units, is it just until she reclasses?
>>
>>379058776
Yeah I really liked them as they're the definition of short and sweet gameplay. Strangely only dlc has the escape mechanic. I also loved how good the memory prisms were, especially the last one between fernand and mathildaa. They really should've made the dlc the prologue, fernand gets way better characterization. The memory prisms made his death so much more impactful, rather than making him to be a lazy killed at the end villain.

I also prefer echoes / the old way supports because of how short and how fitting they can be. Fates and awakening's support system is shit. I actually skip most conversaions because it feels forced. Memory prisms are a fantastic addition. Way better than forced marriage gargle crap.

It's okay. Story is mediocre, villains are pretty good but alm and celica are extremely cliche. DLC is absolute shitka mess though but the prologue is good story stuff. The best part, above all else, is the fucking sound direction. The voice acting was great for the most part, especially during the story. The music ranged from mediocre annoying to oh my god. 3d models are still mediocre / terrible but echoes does the 3d animation so well and so quickly that it's barely noticable. World map is very solid during the game but quickly becomes empty and lifeless during the end. Awakening's map remained the same all the way to the end, which was mediocre good. Fates world map which is my castle is garbage, never want to do that shit again.

The problem is after awakening and fates weak ass characters and plot and echoes being mediocre but a decent direction I probably expect them to fall back to awakening/ fates. Like shoving in children when they don't belong or all this MU special snowflake relevant to the story stuff. I'll probably buy their next game if actually goes into a direction I like. Ironically I bought all 3 of fates when I never finished and hated the game but I absolutely loved echoes and finished it in a few days.

After thinking about it Radiant Dawn probably comes in as the top one for being solid all around. FE7 with nostalgia glasses off comes in as a second because I really like the gba gameplay and sprites and the story / characters were okay.

Story is a little on the bland side, but this game really drives home just how important presentation is. Good voice acting and well-written character interaction adds a ton of life into the story. I can only hope that they take these lessons to heart for FE Switch.

A lot of people forget that in the 25 years in between this game and its remake we've seen just about everything there is as far as a fire emblem story goes.

The story is fine and I'd say it's one of the better fire emblem stories out there. The added memory prisms and cutscenes make it a lot better.

Not really.The class is too slow and the weapons too heavy it really hampers their offesive prowess.
>Echoes classes in general have a very high power level.
Again, not really Barons are useless for a start, let us get that out of the way, Gold Knights are powerful mixing good offence, bulk and movement.
Mages are hampered by low movement and no good promotion bonuses and until they get the mage ring they slow your army down 4 move is unusable.
Dread fighters are actually good also.
And finally the Pegasluts, they were nerfed too hard from Gaiden and it shows.

Bow knights have access to a skill that lets them double from the killer bow. Put that into thought. Now combine that with their high movement and huge range.

A good vanilla love story should be more than meeting for a few months a few years ago and being pre-destined to fall in love.

And they were both raised under Mycen's roof together

Now she's slowly starting to see the good in the heart of a man she thought was evil, a man who warships another god, but in the end is right. Then they fall in love and she gives herself to him. After that her old crush shows up and they kill him together and in the end they live happily ever after in the temple warshiping his god and having lots of children.

Without knowing your exact problem it's a little difficult to suggest solutions.

I, myself, have always been a gameplay fag before everything else.

but i honestly must admit, if everything else isn't atleast passable, then i can find it hard to come back to something with amazing gameplay, if i just want to skip everything else..

i just can't bring myself to play fates anymore, i've done all three routes so i've pretty much 100% the game, while i adore the core gameplay, i loath every other gameplay aspect, like the my castle shit, children, and online stuff.

top that off with everything else being "pretty looking, but absolutely garbage" i just can't care.

playing fates feels like an obligation instead of an actual fun experience, like i "have" to play it because its fire emblem, even if i've had more fun with every other title except the original FE1.

It's that fight the flying eyes in the back, quite some terrors, some gargoyles and some arcanists.

basically a mixture of all shit enemies in the game. I have tried multiple things, rushing will get someone singled out and rekt.
Forming a defensive line will get someone shot with so much arrows and magic that I would be surprised there would be something left of him at all.

Neither offense or defense has given me an edge here.

Eyes aren't that bad. Make sure you take down all the enemies before the eyes in the back. Use invoke to give you a buffer in between you and the fiends. I forgot if there were bonewalkers. If there are, kill them first and then the fiends. The eyes in the far north and norheast don't really do much after they split.

If you beat the bow knight encounter, the you're more than able to win this fight.

Y'mean this map? What's your team comp like? When I did this map my Celica and Sonya were strong enough to one round the big Knights. Eyes are generally too slow movement wise to worry about.

I'd put someone tanky on cover on the right to bait out the Gold Knight and skellies, then kill them right after. Magic should be good enough, Angel or Excalibur. If you have any Falcoknights they should kill the skellies easily.

This. The fucking children are killing me in fates. The support grind to. The fucking castle. The empty endgame.
>support these two and kill yourself from the boredom
>now go do a whole extra map for a child unit
>probably not going to use it
At least in awakening children units were worth it and unique due to inheritance. Not only that but I felt rewarded for using them like morgan is a fantastic unit. Also there was actual endgame content in awakening from the extra maps to apotheosis that gave reason to even go so far to min max and gave reason for access to grinding and huge cast sizes and class changing. To crop the cream the access to einherjar was so much fanservice. You could do runs with einherjar teams and all this silly stuff. Awakening was pretty fun but the first 5 chapters are terrible and the balance is over the place. Needed extreme exp decay to prevent MU solos.
>>
>>379075540
This shit right here was why I benched Sonya for the tower. Seraphim is the best spell in the game because of terrors while being light as fuck.

Attack the northwest part and kill the dread fighter ASAP. Hold the line against those fiends with your bulkier units like Conrad, Valbar(if you took him with), and Saber. Baron Atlas is also fucking phenomenal for this section of the game if you went down that path. Send falcon knights up to harass the eyes up at the north after the knights moved down so they don't come after your guys. Genny needs to spam invoke and physic like a motherfucker. Use Celica and Mae to nuke the terrors with seraphim. Like I said earlier, bonewalkers first and then the fiends. Offensive physical units(Leon, Jesse, Deen, bow knight Atlas) should take down everyone but the bonewalkers and fiends since they have too much HP to ORKO.

the only thing i will admit about awakening's children thing is that it made more sense then fates, but awakening still had some issues with children

what is "cynthia looking at a guy that doesn't have blue hair and going "yeah that has to be my father chrom"

what is "Laurent gets sent to the past 5 years before everyone else but just did fuck all instead of trying to save the future"

most of these children are either "i want to try to help but its on a much smaller scale rather then the large scale i need it to be" like with most of the other characters or "the future sucks and i just wanna be alone and do nothing to fix it", Yarne and Gerome fit under the latter description, the only one i have no problem with is morgan because they just kinda show up and know jack shit about whats going on, which is kinda lazy too in a way.

i just still find it hard to believe that only Lucina actually made an effort to change any of their fates, well cynthia trys but she's literally retarded, but i atleast give her credit for TRYING.

I don't know how they are in fates, but the children in awakening are pretty much always way stronger than their parents. Inheriting skills they can't get otherwise while having higher stat caps than their parents will do that.

>>379080684
There is a pattern to their teleportation.
Are you not using invoke to bait enemies on Celica's route as well?
>>
>>379080684
They always attack at 2 range with Fire, so you can try to cut off all the two range spots with other units to protect Clive.
>>
>>379080889

>protect your tank thats supposed to be on the frontline with a circle of casters

Great game design and super useful with two witches that teleport on seperate turns. Im sure Silque will gladly tank the 30 physical hits until Clive gets to walk out of his witch-protection-circle.

>>379080797

I dont see a pattern, I moved the same way and the first witch attacked different units, and the second witch sometimes ports on turn 3 and sometimes she doesnt port at all.

Of course I use invoke, its a spell that makes sense. Finding alleged patterns to avoid death on turn 1 on a "safe" units doesnt make sense.
>>
>>379081380
Witches always teleport to units in the very front or the very back. Have someone with good res lag behind.
>>
>>379081380
>tank thats supposed
Not with that resistance. Are you not looking at your own stats?
>>
>>379080889
Or you can just actually move Clive near the front. Witches kill benchmaster units often because you don't move them forward and they like to single out the rear of the party.
>>
>>379080797
I'm not entirely sure if there's a pattern, they seem to pick targets completely at random. They don't pick my weakest unit, they don't pick the one with the lowest Res. If anything, I think they teleport to whoever is left all the way behind your squad. And it doesn't matter since they're really weak all the way to the endgame, it would be fucking bullshit if these teleporting witches had more than 20 ATK and speed.

Ok, for the slow ones.

The whole enemy frontline is full of physical attackers and Clive has strong HP and defense. Hes supposed to be a tank against those units and would be in any FE thats not designed by a complete retard.
They could have added the witches to the frontline instead of giving them teleport and Clive would make a shitty tank in that situation as well, but it would be good game design.
>>
>>379082289
Clive is just shit at everything.
>>
>>379077503
Are you kidding ? Aether hits twice, healing on 1st hit, ignore defense on the 2nd AND that count as one hit, i.e he can still attack again given enough SPD.
Did I mention it work on enemy's phase too ?

>>379082742
Clive is the worst unit in the game.

Every unit has the potential to be good in echoes except for Boey and Clive. Tobin makes a good archer with his good skill growth, Gray is a great merc, Forsyth is a solid tank, and Python is a late game powerhouse. However, while Boey is a shit mage, he's still a mage.

Where does the strategy come from then?

I also always forget that 20/20/20 final stats are all that matters in Echoes.
Did you know that Echoes only has one map? The final map?

The weapon triangle hasn't traditionally mattered much in FE, just equip whatever hits at 1-2 range to your strongest units and you're good for the whole game.

The difference is with Tharja was that they tried to pay it off like her insanity was only a minor "funny" character quirk. With Faye, her obsession with Alm is portrayed as an actual problem that makes everybody very uncomfortable, and even puts her in danger at times. Alm and Faye's A-support supports this. He friendzones her, and the support bonuses that come from it are, like, plus strength and crit and minus avoid to reflect the unnecessary danger she puts herself in for Alm.

At least that's how its presented in the localization.

+30% to all stat growth while held, except Res which is +5%.

Jacinth is a fucking stupid name and it should be Star Sphere.
>>
>>379086051
+30% to all growth rates, +10% to Res, requires every Star Shard and a Black Pearl to craft.
If you want max stats on units with 20/20/20 levels, especially females, Alm, and Celica, postpone leveling with them and equip them with it when you want to grind.
Dread Fighters can Class Change into Villagers at LV10, while you get 3 Villager Forks for free (which you can give to your males, run them through the Dread Fighter loop until max stats as F2P, and then change into your desired/original class).

Deen, since his bases are good and you can never have enough Dread Fighters. Jesse has a support with Saber already.
The suboptimal choice, but Sonya has tits, Excalibur as her primary DPS (when you run into Terrors more and would like Celica's/Mae's/Genny's Seraphim, while other Mages get Aura, Sagittae, or even Ragnarok for raw power), but she gets Rewarp at LV5 Priestess (late), to make up for a Mage's 4 Mov, and Entrap at LV10 Priestess (very late), to single out specific enemies like Cantors, which can otherwise only be done with Silque's Warp + Faye's Rescue on Alm's route. She's Genny's only support, and gets a bad ending if you let her live, so Deen gives you a better unit and a mercy kill.

In """""newer"""" (FE6 onwards iirc, excluding Fates) Fire Emblem games, hit displayed is not the actual hit percentage - the game rolls two numbers and averages them, if the result is higher than the display hit chance it's a miss. It helps make combat more deterministic, with higher hit chances far more likely to hit and low hit chances far more likely to miss than what the percentage shows.

Echoes doesn't do this. Whatever hit% it shows is your exact chance to hit - 80% hit rate will miss approximately once every 5 rolls.

I feel as though that when you Mila's Turnwheel that the displayed hits are a complete lie. When I miss like an 80%, I reroll and then I miss an additional 4 times before I hit. It feels skewed.

Yeah I get that, but come the FUCK on man.
Like who in the fucking right of mind thinks that the maps that were made in Gaiden were any good at all? Like seriously aren't fucking Remakes supposed to be in Development "Hey guys let's take all the good shit that was good in the Original make it better and all the bad shit? Let's either take it out completely or just re-do it"
They NEEDED to fucking redo it, you have to be mentally fucking ILL to think that these maps are ANY good at ALL

I thoroughly enjoyed Awakening despite everything but could never get into Fates despite buying and trying both versions.
Playing Echoes now and enjoying it more than both despite some retarded gameplay decisions most of which are a gaiden issue rather than a remake issue.

That being said Awakening was my first FE so take it with a grain of a salt

The Swamp maps are terrible and don't really seem to consider other units that aren't Dread Fighters or Pegasus Knights. As a result units that aren't Pegasus Knights or Dread Fighters are harder to train to keep up with the rest of your members.

He takes the place of Rudolf's second in command man as the boss of one of the last chapters in Alm's chapter 4.
>>
>>379093217
In the original, if you killed Desaix first, Slayde retreated and swore vengeance, only to never actually appear again.
>>
>>379093401
Why? They already had Berkut to serve as Rudolf's substitute prince. Why the hell Slayder need to survive past Chapter 3? He could've easily been reworked into fighting you alongside Berkut and Fernand in the 3 Paladins engagement.

Then again, I still haven't really started Chapter 4 yet, since I'm grinding all my units to third tier promotion before setting foot in Rigel. And even then, I'm waiting until promoting Alm before having him move out.
>>
>>379093921
He doesn't really serve a purpose other than being the one who tells the duma faithfull about Delthea.
He is merely a means to fill a few plot holes.
Or maybe they had a good VA for him and didn't want to waste the talent on just a few lines.

>>379068679
I've got it worse. She has 10 attack on mine and I'm playing on hard as well. Somehow though I used her enough to get her promoted. She has stupidly high defense without shield so I just use it to grab fleeing units before they can touch the supply.

Maybe, but I had to endure going through all of Chapter 1 using Villagers before I figured out how easy it was to just grind on bandits when I started Chapter 4. Never. Again.

Heck, I'm not even just grinding them to promotion. I'm grinding them to the level caps.

Sonya gets excalibur (a low hp cost, high hit, high crit, low weight spell) immediately and is a mage in terrain emblem. She's faster than Mae on average, but honestly, Sonya will almost always come out better than Mae due to having better bases at only level 5.

Growth rates are too low and inconsistent for most characters to hit their caps and when you don't promote as soon as possible you miss out on free stats.

Awakening is the easiest gameplay wise but has the most fun characters. Average FE story.

Fates (conquest) has the best gameplay in the series but crappy characters and story.

Echoes has some interesting yet kinda boring gameplay but it has some great artwork, dialogue and decent characters. Story is once again average.

Conquest would be my pick.

so much better in fact that it fixed one of Awakening's plotholes with Thabes Labrynth

Now that FE has been "saved", I really do hope that IS remembers what makes the series good while they develop the Switch title. Get rid of trash like pair-up and the dating simulator, and make characters with depth like in Echoes. It might just be wishful thinking, but hopefully they will go the continue to go the opposite direction of nu-FE

You do understand what made Awakening and Fates so popular right?
You're better off wishing that More remakes get made, because they are NEVER going to make another game like Gaiden or 7 again.
It's just not going to happen.
Maybe the B team that made Echoes after they get done remaking everything will have the freedom to make there own FE's as well alongside the Main team.
But that's a long time from now and we don't know even if FE will survive that long tbqh

Kek. None of the characters in Echoes are deep.

Very few people want this regardless.
>>
>>379099140
wow touchy
It has a much better narrative than any other game in the series and has a premise beyond dragons being dicks. It's the process of how they become that way and a story of a nation learning not to hail dragons as gods. Neither Duma nor Mila had malicious intent; it actually expands on how important family is in the dragon race, eventually Mila being considered "a race traitor", for allowing her brother to be slain. That's ON TOP of the whole deliverance and the noble/peasantry on going battle happening in Zofia and the myriad of other things happening in that world.
Not only is the atmosphere superior, but the characters, tone and worldbuilding are as well. Echoes is how you make a true FE game, outside of the maps.
