Guess I'll let you know in a while. I plan to make Stahl a great knight (his speed hasn't turned out all that great this playthrough anyway, so I may as well just gear him towards being more tankish--I could use it, really). I've completely forgotten what skills they learn though, something to look into I suppose.

Chapter 10.
The music is so damn godlike in this chapter.

okay, so ultimately it doesn't matter what skill Sully passes over to her daughter, because her daughter will be able to learn any skill Sully can give her anyway on her own, correct?
Also, anyone know when second seals become available for sale?

So i'm on Chapter 19 (no spoilers) and decided i'd take some of my weaker units and strengthen them up on the dlc maps. I never used Donnel because everytime I did he would suck terribly and die. Well, I decided Donnel was the first person I wanted to strengthen up, and after about an hour...... holy shit! He's an absolute monster. I turned him into a Hero and now he's probably my best unit two times over (and he's not even a higher level than my 3 top guys). I can't believe I haven't used him til now and I kind of regret it.
edit: I also had him marry Nowi. Perfect couple.

Oh that makes sense. I was wondering why my calulations were off most of the time.
I just promote units into whatever looks cooler/fitting on them. So, those are clearly the right choices!

Chapter 2 required a few resets. Hope I don't regret picking Hard.
Other than that, this game is amazing and may be my favorite in the series.

Grrr...Do I use Vaike to pass Owain awesome stats, or do I use Gregor to pass Owain Mercenary? Decisions.....

Just noticed this:
But people told me jRPGs and their kin were dead.
I hope FE shipped enough to have some good looking sales numbers
You can use the pair up system to avoid this. There's eventually a dlc that contains a skill, but it's totally unnecessary with the pair up system.

You can pair him up with someone strong, and let the partner be in charge. You only need to get Donnel to lvl 10 anyway.
I can say this: no other 3DS game I've owned since Mario Kart has so consistently dominated the "most recently played" among my StreetPasses.
I've had my wireless off to conserve power so I can make sure I always have battery to play FE on the bus lol.
they're just rewards you earn as you reach certain milestones, it's not a shop
Even better!

The unpredictability of the reinforcements is seriously throwing a wrench in my ability to strategize.
Always cover your flank and sit your as on top of any forts where they might spawn from. But sometimes it's unavoidable and you just need to learn where / when they come.
Always plan for reinforcements. If they don't come they don't come, but if they do you'll be ready.

I sort of attempted this, but what was once an archer is now a magic user that can slaughter the physically oriented unit that I had before. Plus if I take out all of the reinforcements and camp my units it takes out too much to push forward. I wish the game would at least provide you with information on what appears and when. The only way I can think of being able to form a strategy is if I took notes of what enemies appear at what turn and then just restart restart restart the mission.
This is an optional mission though so maybe I'll have to come back to it.

Just noticed this:
Both of these doing well would be awesome. Hope they show up in NPD.
All I want to see in the NPD is this game and Sly 4.
FE is the only one with an actual chance though.

Finished the game yesterday. Sunk a crazy amount of time into it. Going to take some time off before I start up a new play through. Got to clear out some of my backlog.
My question is, since this was my first FE game I played it on Normal/Classic, restarting whenever I lost a character. I found it pretty challenging, until I sorta over-leveled near the end. Donnel, Avatar, and Chrom pretty much would just move across the stage letting anyone and everyone attack them and just dominating. How does Hard or Lunatic increase the difficulty? Is the AI different or what? Towards the end I pretty much knew exactly what the AI would do and how I'd handle it.
Really loved the game. Rushed through the last few chapters, but I'm going to pay more attention to the supports and getting all the kids. Just got a bit to obsessed with this one, need to pace myself next time. It's going to be hard for any game to top this one when it comes to my game of the year. Incredibly well made. I loved my 3DS before, but this is absolutely the best reason to own one.

B-But, all that precious EXP... But I guess that doesn't matter as much in this game.
Yeah, I feel much less need to go after every unit for Exp with all the extra missions / spawns / DLC. Especially later on when you're met with a lot more 'defeat the commander' objectives.
I'm actually kind of disappointed with the lack of variety of objectives in this. No defend for whatever turns chapters at all.

I was wondering if some of those would make it into DLC.
I'm not sure how much AI improves. They can still be lured out pretty easily and dispatched on Hard. They will focus on any unit that enemies in range have a good chance to KO, disregarding any personal safety. The primary difficult increase on Hard comes through levels I believe. In Lunatic, you're met with a lot more resistance; higher levels, forged weapons, enemies with Skills. But toward the end of any Fire Emblem game, you'll generally find yourself having an easier time than in the beginning. If you want a better challenge, impose some restrictions like no DLC / random battles, so you limit your Experience gained. It makes story battles much more important if they're your only source of Exp.

So Gregor or Vaike for Owain's dad? Is Armthrift and the other Mercenary line of skills worth it for Owain based on his luck and skill and such? Or is Vaike's stats better off for him?
Vaike is Owain's OTD.

People called Romanes they go the house?
Ugh. Just saw Scy's post, and realized my early classing at 20 to promote-tier was wasted. Granted, there's free infinite xp on dlc maps to fix it, but still feels bad.
And I will have to redo some of the kid choices to make sure Galeforce is got, and Noire does not inherit counter. Useful though it will potentially be for a sniper, there are definitely better choices once I took another look at her potential classes.
Also, is there a support convo unlock/recap thing after you beat the game? I imagine the convos are almost too immense to really count, especially with the avatar, but I can't imagine it not being there.

40 hrs in, still chapter 14. I don't think ill have much issue with the other chapters though lol.
after hopping around every class.... it seems like asssassin is the best?
From what I can tell, Skill is way more important than every other stat due to most good skill rely on it for procing, and assassin's have the best skill I think.

But Vaike can't give him Armthrift and Soooool
grr these decisions are getting harder and harder...
True. I wouldn't really mind though, since it'd give me more incentive to use Owain. That and the blonde hair befits him.
I don't know about best, but they're slippery glass canons with crits. Lon'qu as an assassin is all kinds of amazing.
You mean Frederick!

Vaike is Gernome's OTD
They have the same fucking hair for god sake.

So I bought the game Physically today, after having it Digitally since launch. And Club Nintendo let me register it, after having already registered the digital version....I didn't know I could do this, since typically you can't register 2 of the same game...but still, this is awesome.
I made Stahl and Sully Great Knights for Luna. Don't use Stahl much, but Sully's been doing well enough.
That dude cracked me up. All the beard jokes lol.
So I have some level 10 characters...are the seals the only way to change their class?
Also, how do I get couples in love to marry and produce offspring?
I'm around chapter 6 BTW. Thanks again guys.
Yeah, seals change classes.
Pair them up or have them fight side by side to build up their relationship (you can tell by the hearts after doing an action). Hit S rank to marry.
He should have 47 Luck as his max regardless of the father (or Class since no class adjusts Luck); Gregor will give him one more Skill in any of his options which means he'll hit 50 as an Assassin.
I'm personally in the same spot as you and I'm considering Gregor. Just for Armsthrift since Vaike should give Hero still. ;_;
If it makes you feel better, I grinded Donnel to 30 as a Villager and then Second Sealed to Mercenary to get Armsthrift.
About 15 of those levels in all were for 0 stat gain since I capped everything. Well, I think he got some HP and Magic. So there's that, I guess.
;_;
Yeah, I'm sitting here wondering if I care that much to get Counter for Nah and Noire ;_;
