Do I take a lot away from the experience playing casual? First Fire Emblem game for me.

Is it feasible to play this game without getting to S rank with your main character/having babies?

Just learned what the children system really entails(it's easy to spoil myself now...since the story isn't exaclty difficult to guess).

How do I reach that Paralogue in the middle of the sea? I am only in Chapter 14.
In order to maximize the gaining of Skills, I would recommend:
- Level your Unit in their initial Class up to 10 [or 15 for Donnel]
- Use a Second Class Seal to switch to another Base Class
- Do the same as the above, and Level to 10 [for the second Skill]
- Repeat the process as needed until you have the Skills of the Base Classes you require
- Level to 20, and then use a Master Seal to Promote your Unit
- Level to 15 in the Promoted Class to learn each second Skill, and then use a Second Class/Master Seal to switch to another Promoted Class
- Do as needed until your happy with your Skills, and then stay with the Promoted Class you chose
The above would ensure that you're able to learn all of the Skills in the Base Class level without the XP decrease associated with the Promotion Classes.
XP gain would likely decrease a bit over time, even just focusing on Base Classes [since Cumulative Levels are affected by using Second Class Seals], but not nearly as fast as if you Promtoed straight to a Promotion Class after hitting Level 15/20, and then back to a Base Class.
Not a lot but there's definitely more danger knowing that if you put a unit somewhere and they die, it has much bigger consequence (reset chapter or lose that character forever).
I'd say try the first few chapters on Classic and if it's still too difficult, reset and do it on Casual.

I haven't been too impressed by the music, but damn the battle theme for chapter ten is fantastic.
Also holy balls assists can crit.

I can hardly argue with a Cordeliabro.

Is there somewhere that has pictures of all the kids with different hair colors?
Also...just got to Chapter 10. THE MUSIC.

gah it's too early to choose a wife for my guy, half the characters in the support screen aren't even gotten yet 
How are the latter half prepromoted characters in this? I tend to not really care about them in the other games.

Quick question. Trying out Paralogue 6, will
I set Chrom's last skill to be Aether, but that isn't one of them.
Inigo always get Rightful King for a skill?

If it is a male child, Chrom will always pass down Rightful King to him. Chrom will always pass down Aether to his female child.

Ah, ok, makes sense but just wanted to check, thanks.

Depends. Do you have any plans to reset if you lose a character anyway? If so, play casual and have fun.
I have played the past 5 FE games and i found casual to be a godsend considering my semi OCD nature.
you wait your turn EU! We had to wait 7 months for Xenoblade, 2 months is nothingIs there still no word on an EU demo? Region locking sucks

Yessss. You mean the music that's playing just before the battle, right? I just played through that tonight. I was hoping it would keep playing after you start the fight and disappointed it did not. So good though.

So how do I get that green area paralogue at the middle of the sea?
Alright, that makes sense to me. Just getting one Promotion Class early on for some fun skills is a fair trade off for slightly slower XP gain.

Lissa can move freely on desert stages, and Maribelle can't. Not exactly a dealbreaker, but it's something.

Are Dancers even worth the time for this? It seems like having one more badass promoted guy on the field is more 'productive'.
Hooray, I got my first marraige! Faster than I expected, too. I guess now I'll get to watch them beast the hell out of stuff together from now on.
So congrats to Stahl and Miriel, their support chain has been very amusing and pairing them up has made for a very nicely-versatile unit on the battlefield. I only wish I could get Stahl's defense a little higher...

After 6 chapters of Hard Classic, I've changed my mind yet again and decided upon Lunatic Casual.
At this rate I'm never gonna finish the game lol

only women.
Getting a strong pair of units an extra turn can be a god send. It requires a bit more planning though, but getting your best combo another turn is worth it.

Only the best of the best.
pretty much all you need to beat normal, likely seriously. Get him to hero give him some range weapons. Game is finished.

It takes a bit of work but if u can grind her out a bit ill have a beast dancer
Lol she has access to some crazy skills from her class changes
Clasic FE unit that starts super weak but has a really high potential, some times even higher than the main cast.

So I just got the bundle today (brand spanking new 3DS yay!) and I've been playing this for the last several hours. Having played every FE released in America (except the very first one released on the GBA because I couldn't ever find it used after I got into FE...got Sacred Stones though) I have to say I think Awakening is my favorite so far.
- I love the pairing system. It's really useful so far, especially for ferrying slow units across the map. I don't have a tendency to pair people up as much for battle unless I'm taking on the boss or needing to level up a weaker character, but when I do it's very useful. Since it adds a whole new layer of strategy to the game I have to say I'm impressed with the innovation and addition.
- I thought I wasn't going to enjoy having a player character/avatar, but the fact that they give the player character personality and make them interesting has already drawn me in and I love my character already.
- I'm playing on Hard/Classic and it's quite challenging, but not extremely difficult if you know Fire Emblem tactics. I got too overzealous and lost a unit on the first chapter...the first chapter! And yet it wasn't frustrating, I realized I'd put myself in a terrible position and restarted the battle. The difficulty is good, and I'm on Chapter 4 now and no enemies have yet to feel cheap.
- I enjoy the extra additional battles they've put in as well.
Overall I'm really enjoying the game and I think paying $200 for the 3DS and just this game is well worth it. The only thing I'm missing now is my Myrmidon. It's always been my favorite FE unit, and I know it's early so I haven't reached it yet, but dammit. Give me my speedy sword master!
EDIT: Oh, and one opinion I forgot: I'm still getting used to the Dual system where the people next to you help you in the battle. Too many times to count already I've been softening up a unit so a low-level character can get the killing blow and all the EXP, and the partner jumps in and finishes off the enemy instead. Whoops. Oh well, it's fun and adds more depth and strategy, so I'll eventually get used to it.

He requires a ton of babying, has low stat caps, limited class selection, and you have to use a second seal just to get him into a decent class (which makes him level slower). His use seems to peak mid-game, and I wonder if it's really worth the effort when you could put that time into building a character with better late game potential. I wonder how painful it is to even level him on lunatic, he's probably not worth it at all there.
If you can raise him up, then he becomes the best character almost hands down.
No he said that right after the first picture, the second one was later on. He says a bunch of them.
Agreed, he doesn't look like a good unit for lunatic, but right now in my Hard game he is great to have in case of an emergency. I use him to intercept enemy reinforcements while the main group goes for the objective.

His offspring can reap all the benefits of his skills without all the handholding and limited class selection. I'm gonna level him up just enough to get his skills and S rank him and then it's too the bench with Donnel.

Im new to FE games, right now im doing what i need to do to get no perma deaths. Is this the type of game where at some point I gotta let someone die? Or can I make it till the end with everyone?
