Is Mirirel ever suppose to get good? Even as a sage she's not that potent :/
And it's weird, is it just me or are assassins more useful as bowmen than swordsmen?

Hmm...I do have a female MU. I hadn't really considered it, but yeah, that could be fun.

So did anyone else just curbstomp Chapter 12 into oblivion? I just stuck Kellam and Gregor at the chokepoint right where you start with Miriel and Ricken behind them, and they formed an indestructible wall as all the enemies impaled themselves on Kellam and Gregor instead of going around to the side and attacking my squishy units. Eventually I replaced Gregor with Cherche paired with Myself, and she killed about 10 units on one enemy phase. And then probably another 10 after.

He's worth it.
Get him to level 15 villager and then change to a mercenary for armsthrift and them promote to Hero or Bow Knight.

Or better yet, have donnel marry a girl, and have his kid marry your avatar for super baby.

Oh god that never occurred to me. The most broken unit ever.
The art in this game is so great, I could not resist ordering the Knights of Iris artbook from CDJapan. With shipping, it'll cost me around $60, but I regret nothing!
They [supposedly] still have some for sale [says ships within 5-7 days, though]:

You should definitely get the game even if you're going to play on baby mode.
It's easily become my favorite game in the series and my favorite game on the 3DS.

How is this game? Is it actually great or is it another case of Sticker Star/Ni No Kuni where it's amazing until people get to spend 20 or so hours with it?
The more time you spend with it, the more amazing it becomes. Also, considering how addictive it is, it will not take long before the your game-time reads double [or even triple] digits.
So yes, it's as incredible as everyone would lead you to believe.
I can easily see getting 60 hours out of it.

Thanks, I will strongly consider getting it.

I'm on Chapter 8 now and I'm in love with this game. Seriously. Fire Emblem always hooks me and gets me addicted, but the pair/dual mechanic in this is off the charts.
Chrom/Sumia: already married, fucking whirling dervish of pain between the two of them. Nothing can touch them while they're paired up. Chrom sat through an assault of five wvyerns and fighters and only got hit once, and killed every single one.
Lon'Qu/Vaike: Bash Bros! Pretty much destroy everything in their way, although recently I've been switching it up and pairing Lon'Qu with my avatar so I can have lovely Myrmidon babies.
Sully/everyone: Sully is my most badass unit by far. Usually rocks it solo but has three A rankings already simply from standing near people most of the time.
God I love this game.

My Donnel is past 15 already and I never class changed him into anything. Is it too late to do this?

Which do you guys prefer, Sol or Counter?
I just got done with the game. Final save had me at about 24 hours before the last fight. And of course the last fight is classic kamakazi Fire Emblem finale. I could plow through most story missions, but I ended up losing 3 characters on that last fight, and had I not gotten a lucky critical on the final boss, I probably would have lost another 3-4 characters just on the next turn.
I already started a new game, I'm tempted to start a run-through on insane, but I just know that would be impossible for me to beat. This time I'm doing a run through with a female avatar (since I think the male models are boring) and I'm going to use characters I didn't touch on my first run-through. I'm thinking about using Donnel, I had no idea you could practically promote him two times. That should result in some sexy stats! I love this game btw. I hope we get a sequel on the 3DS. These characters were really good.

Depends on the character I guess.
Sol is skill based, but works with any weapon. Counter is always on, but only on adjacent enemies and only if hit.
So high skill or good dodgers will probably go towards Sol while low avoid could have Counter.
So I need some help (CH 11 spoilers):
So I want Chrom to marry Olivia. I married off Sumia, Maribelle, and Sully before CH 11. However, at the end of CH 11, it seems as though Chrom married some nameless "Maiden." Do I have to support Chrom with Olivia during the battle like 10 times?

okay, paralogue 3
does it matter if all the villagers die? What negative does that result for me?
I'm pretty sure
you get a reward for each one that survives. I saved all three, got three items as reward.

I think of it as Lances can reach Swords at a distance, Axes can chop up Lances, and Swords just... move faster than Axes.

Once you beat chapter 12, they are available on the shop of chapter 12.I'm on chapter 12 now and I've only gotten around 3 master seals, many of my units are close to level 20, any way to nab more

If you're aiming for Mage, Strength seems like it'd be less useful than RES
That works, I would say don't mess with his str stat since he'll get an ability after his class upgrade that will add the str and mag stats together (it'll proc more the higher his skill stat is).
I wanted to avoid cutting into skill or defense if at all possible, but I suppose the losses are negligible.
Hmm, noted. Sounds like - STR hurts more in the long term.
I'd recommend +MAG/-LCK, personally.
The reason being, +MAG/-RES has the following +/- Stats at Maximum Level:
MAG +3, SPD +1, RES -1
whereas +MAG/-LCK has these:
MAG +3, STR -1, LCK -3
You lose on STR with MAG/-LCK, which you won't need anyway as a Mage [it will help a bit with Ignis, but -1 STR won't be terribly noticeable], but you keep your +1 SPD [every little bit helps!] and don't lose any RES [which is definitely appreciated]. You do lose -3 LCK, but honestly, it's not as important a stat as the others [in my opinion].

Holy hell. 24 hours? I'm at 16 hours and not even half way.
Currently it's sitting at third on average time played with 40 minutes each session.
Yea, even if you go mage there will be times when it'll be best to use a sword (mostly against other mages) as well so keep that in mind.

When I play this again, I'm going to play in classic mode and not start over whenever a character dies. I tend to do that a lot when a favorite character dies in battle, reload a save, etc. I won't. I want to really feel what it's like on a emotional level during the adventure.
I think the game does more than enough to provide enough characters in the cast. Playing on casual, I see myself using only a handful of characters and ignoring others that I also want to use. It's too hard to give everyone equal playing time. I think this game is designed to play in classic. Next playthrough, I'll do that.

You're going to feel an unwanted emotion when an enemy spawns out of nowhere behind you, and then oneshots one of your key squishies.
