Eh, I'd give it like a 7.
Out of 5.

Well... does one even need all the dlc? I'm thinking of just getting the ones for the super hard chapters and the new classes.
Maybe the gold one.

Not really, there are some that you need to have previous DLC to be able to play it, but it's only stuff like needing CoY 1 and 2 to play CoY3 and stuff like that. Just get what appeals to you.

You get the free, the 2.50 and an unreleased one. The price of the bundle will go up once the first dlc is no longer free.

The $4 one is a pack including the two that are out already and the one that we assume comes out this week. It makes it so every DLC map is $2. It'll also become $6 instead of $4 when the first one stops being free though.

The DLC packs seem like the better deal.
Separately for the latter 2 you would pay $5 instead of $4.

So reclassing to your old class is used for reusing the growths you gained from it?

So I finally got the "Wireless" menu option to unlock and downloaded (unlocked...) a bunch of new content... If it hasn't been mentioned elsewhere in the thread yet, it unlocks after you finish chapter 3. Now my map has a handful of other characters at locations that I can Parlay with, buy stuff from or fight. But now comes my question; if I'm playing in classic mode -- where the dead stay dead -- does that also apply to these optional battles?

Yep
So, I sort of bred two monsters.
First is Morgan. I quickly got him out of his Tactician class and changed him to a Cavelier and then to a Paladin. Boy is super tanky.
Then last night I finally got Gerome, whose father is Lon'qu. I got him to 20 and promoted to a Wyvern Lord and he surpasses his mother is almost every stat and his mother is Level 10 Wyvern Lord. So, super strong, super tanky, super resistant flier with Astra. Does it get any better? Yes, because he reminds me of a Haar.
Then we have Donny, of course.
Morgan and Donny basically cleared out almost all of Gerome's map by themselves last night. The others just played clean up.

you'd think for the money you paid, they would throw in at least 1 or 2 support dialogues for the dlc folks :/
Yeah, that's what I'm expecting. They've already given us everything else so far, so I'm guessing the first Bonus Map will be up next, along with one of the Bonus Teams (Path of Radiance?) and Bonus Challengers.
Yeah, that song isn't anywhere in this game believe it or not.

Looks like they're pretty much all the same map, though, that merely take place at different times of day. I'm assuming the heroes you take on are perhaps balanced differently, but still. If all the packs are gonna be like that, that's some pretty slim pickings for $90 total.
I think all DLC maps, depending on the game the character comes from, has particular music from their respective game.

Any suggestions on what sully should pass down to her daughter? Donnel is gonna pass down the skill that ups stat gains
This is true for most of them. It's definitely the case for all of the early ones that focus on the legacy characters and some others, but some of the late ones actually have new arrangements of old music, music that's already from the game, or completely new music altogether.
Of course. God must make his child God Jr.

God damn it, I know I'm going to end up buying all the DLC. Curse you Nintendo!
To be honest, I don't really see the point of passing down Aptitude. Donnel will pass on a decent amount of his stats and aptitudes to begin with so his child will be relatively well off in regards to their stat cap.
...well, of course, unless you just want to take them directly to Level 20 in a Promoted class without any reclassing at all, I guess. Even then, you'd probably be close to capping off the one set of levels anyway.

Any US sales figures for this yet? It'd be interesting to see if the game shortage was due to really high demand or just low shipments.
Then again, is Counter really worth it? :x

Frederick says nope. I wanted to use him as a Wyvern Knight too, but his exp gain was a bit too slow for me.
It doesn't matter, experience is decided by your visible level and your internal level added together (which raises by 20 (at least, I think)) every time you use a Second Seal. There's no difference in experience gain.
Well, you can do Sol so they don't have to level as a Hero. Otherwise, it's basically Counter since it's gender-unique or Aptitude since it's Donnel-unique.
I'll just link this post.
Generally speaking, it will if you go from a Promoted Class (since they're 20 levels higher and all) but it's a bit more complicated than that.
The maximum that your Internal Level will increase from Second Sealing is 19, actually. And that's from a Level 20 Promoted Class.
It's (Current Level - 1) / 2 for how much it increases, up to a total cap of 20 (Normal), 30 (Hard), or 50 (Lunatic). That is, after Second Sealing enough times, a Level 1 Basic unit will level as fast as (...as slow as?) a Level 1 Promoted unit on Normal, a Level 11 Promoted unit on Hard, and a theoretical Level 31 Promoted unit on Lunatic.

Well, since Japan's already got all the DLC, we know what to expect.
The "Classic Maps" like Champion of Yore are divided into three parts and all use the same map, but with atmospheric variations, different enemies and dialogue. There are 16 of these maps, so 4 unique maps in total.
There are also 3 "service" maps, which allow you to farm exp, gold and legendary weapons respectively. These maps will probably be interesting to some fans and not others. The legendary weapons map looks rather fun though.
Finally, the "Another World Story" maps are more varied and further divided into three subcategories.
There are 4 challenge maps that are meant to test hardcore players (the last of these maps has you face countless cap-breaking enemies), 3 "fun" or "fan-service" maps that feature over 200 new conversations (think extra support conversations) and 3 story maps that take place in
an alternate future
Well they let Nowi and Gregor pair up. I don't think anything was dampened for the main game, so it's looking likely for those 2. More support convos are always good.
I thought it was good. ._.

That post scy just linked from yesterday does a very good job of explaining it. It's definitely one of the trickier systems in the game to wrap your head around, I'd say.
Hah, I began writing that post before the one above it was made. Thanks!

I would pay a lot of money for a nice, hardcover strategy guide with art, maps, and lots of tables of data. Like a LOT of money.
Just does not fit in line with: the others.
It takes like 20+ seconds to get anywhere decent, and most recruitment dialogs are over by then.

Nah is a girl, but galeforce is still probably the best thing to pass down from girl side for any babies.

Internal level = how many times you've leveled up in total.
The higher your internal level, the less EXP you get with each fight. Your EXP gain will keep decreasing. At some point though, your EXP gain won't go any lower. This point is determined by your difficulty level.
So say if you get 10 EXP at level 40 on normal (I'm just making up numbers here to demonstrate the concept), that would be the cap, and you wouldn't get any less than 10 EXP no matter how much you leveled up. You'd have a guaranteed 10 EXP. But on Hard, that 10 EXP per kill would continue to decrease with every level after 40, stopping at 5 EXP at level 45 (again, just making up numbers to give you an idea). And on Lunatic, it would stop at 1 EXP at level 49.
This recruitment theme is nice and chilled out. Kinda like FE2.
Hah, that's true. And I always wait for that part!

Definitely. I still have my strategy guide for FE7, received for free with a sub to Nintendo Power.

Yep, learned at level 15. Though some spotpass characters can have it, like Jaffar.
If there are 17 pieces of DLC and you can get them each for $2 from bundles (which might not be the case), that's $34 for all of the DLC. Minus $2 if you buy the game while the first piece is free.
The first, second, and third DLC were 300, 250, and 300 yen in Japan and they're all $2.50 each (well, I'm making that assumption for the third one) so it's not much of a stretch to assume that all similarly priced DLC in Japan will cost $2.50 in North America, or $2.00 in a bundle.
But five of the maps were 400 yen. So maybe some of them will be a bit more expensive? I don't expect anything to be more than $3.00.
Anyway, speculayshunz
