Of course, the mission after Anna gets hit by everything. I'm so bad with timed missions.
To arms then (the message was "You better run.")!

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
So far I've managed to make it to Chapter 14 on Hard/Classic without losing a single unit. I must have reset about 50 times by now, though.
Does anyone else imagine Vaike with The Rock's voice? Or whatever wrestler it is that wants you to smell what he's cookin'. I think it's because he refers to himself in the third person, but I always picture everything he says in that voice.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm relatively new to FE and figuring out wether to go classic/normal or classic/hard. I like hard games, like strategy games and srpgs, etc. Any reason to avoid hard? Is the learning curve for this particularly series that hard to master?

So, guys. I had a minor epiphany a few minutes ago...
They have similar back stories too don't they? They both try to save a girl and end up being saved by said girl and getting her killed instead. Its been a very long time since I watched Cowboy Bebop and could be wrong.
Do any vendors show up later with a Hammer or Armorslayer later on? Both the ones I have are about to run out of uses and I'm only on Chapter 12.
I wish I could, but every time I hear him say "Yeah, I rule," it kind of ruins any illusions I had of Vaike actually being cool. He's still the only axe-user in my group (aside from Frederick I guess) but I still almost never use him. I'm thinking I'll just reclass someone else into a fighter later on because Vaike just hasn't really done it for me.
If you've played SRPGs before, then picking up on the specifics of Fire Emblem shouldn't be all that tough for you. You can probably get away with playing on hard so long as you recognize that there'll be some adjustment period as you learn your way around stuff like the weapon triangle and the new pairing mechanics.
All I can hear is Troy Baker.

The point of the ladle, log, wooden stick, and slack bow are so you can weaken targets with high level units and not kill them so a low level unit can get the extra xp from kills.

Did not even realize this. I thought they were just there as joke weapons.

People called Romanes they go the house?
They're also relatively quite cheap to forge +attack on so you can use them on a weaker unit with no weapon xp to secure kills.

Henry seems so random. I really do wish they at least try to write these new characters in there properly.

Decided to grind Gaius for awhile and it turns out my luck with Thieves/Assassins as killing machines from past games continues here with him (like Matthew, Colm, and Volke before him) using criticals in each of his battles at a rapid pace.

I like to stick the weak/joke weapons on low level units, summon a healer group like Serra from the Bonus Box, then have that weak unit go to town on Serra since she won't fight back. Exp surrrrrrge.

Lunatic is ridiculous. I've lost on Chapter 1 five times straight. There really needs to be a mode in between Hard and Lunatic that is like "Very Hard with Finite XP."

Yeah, when I started the game, I first went straight for lunatic. Struggled my way to chapter 2, then was like "fuck this shit"
It's a mode where you struggle to get by early in, even if you use frederick to weaken enemy units

My Gaius has crappy defense as an assassin and gets taken down pretty quickly unfortunately. He does good damage though.

Got my first unit to level 20 (Lissa of course), so now she can start the long journey of learning Galeforce!
I actually expected more drops going from cleric to peg knight, but she got mostly pluses and just one drop in magic. Weird.

does galeforce 'work' with dancer? Like would you be able to move 4 times a turn?
btw: is it just me, or did I go from paralogue 4 to like... 8?

Get Inside Her!
Well, downside is that you don't get to be that class any more. It's kind of what I struggle with. Yeah, I can second-seal a dude once they max out their promoted class... but I want them to BE that class! It's why I promoted to it!
Maybe I'd use two second seals in a row, to reclass then reclass right back, and earn 20 more levels in the class I want them to be.
You can never go back to a class you once were? Or do you just mean it's a pain to get back to the promoted class you changed out of.

FINALLY beat Chapter 1 with all units alive. Of course, I'm afraid I'm going to run out of vulnaries and Virion's elixir and Lissa's Heal before I can make it to a shop.
edit: and giving an enemy a Hammer in Chapter 1 to one-shot Frederick with is a dick move...
Damn man, sounds like I have to play this on Lunatic.
I went for Classic, as well, despite being a new player.
I figured I might as well get the full "Fire Emblem experience". After playing the game for myself I know that simply by playing on Casual it just wouldn't be the same!

So are y'all keeping your main character as a Grandmaster? I'm thinking reclassing him to dark knight because that class shares the same weapons, but have the benefits of a horse and that healing skill.
Yeah, I started with the GBA games, so I was forced to go with "classic" and now, as soon as I got the game I knew I wouldn't even bother with casual, and go straight to hard but that is because I know my way around FE already.
Also, wtf at the spotpass teams, and the DLC chars in general, they are just MU units, can reclass to any other class, including grandmaster. So weird, it is clear that they didn't have the hooks in place to do something better (or they just didn't care)
Reclass after you learn ignis or however it's spelled, if you want to that is. I still don't know the second grandmaster skill though.

Ugh. If you're a masochist. I'm still trying to beat Chapter 2... Even Fred is not safe.
Edit: Five minutes later, Fred gets hit with a 7% critical by some bum enemy.

How many chapters are in this game? Not counting paralogues and random skirmishes.
I went for Hard/Classic and it's really starting to take its toll ;_;
At least I have some experience with Advance Wars and Disgaea, so the tactics aren't completely foreign to me. But Fire Emblem plays very differently from those games in a lot of ways.

"All stats +4 to all allies within a 3 tile radius for one Turn when the Rally command is used"
hmmm probably the best rally skill, but I'm still not a fan of rally not giving any exp.

So I downloaded the demo of this and am loving the strategy and gameplay but I'm finding it exceedingly hard to get through the terrible story and voice squeaks at that start of every character dialogue. It feels like there is more time spent watching the characters chit chat then spent actually playing the game. Is this just early game or does it get better as the game goes on. Never had this problem with FFT, but this just seems to drone on. I'd abandon it if I wasn't enjoying the gameplay so much.
Hmm combine that with a dancer and it could be useful against a boss unit...

Turn off "story voices" in the options menu.
The story itself does not get better, but the interpersonal support conversations are fun.
