Wasn't that Haar? Didn't Jill the red head wyvern rider have a father?
I dunno. Maybe I'm getting confused.
edit: anyway, the guy with the eye patch. Yeah, never used him. I'm guessing I missed out?

She did.
He gets killed off in FE9.
Haar's just her mentor or whatever. They are unrelated.

Jill's father
is the boss in a map in PoR. You can make her kill her father and it's awesome.
Haar is not related to Jill, he's just awesome.
Jill is kinda difficult to grow in RD, she starts off with pretty terrible stats since she starts as a Dawn Brigade member, and her caps are a lot lower than Haar's.
Haar is just a beast for the entire game.
You can set up Jill for success in RD by giving her the Seraph Robe, Energy Drops & Draco Shield.
I call it the Jill starter pack; she'll be one of the best units in the lame brigade.

Yeah, she definitely is one of the best units in the Dawn Brigade in that game.
I played through RD many times and always used her and always capped her stats by the end of the game. Still, they are quite a bit lower than Haar's, but she is still a great unit.

Can Frederick use the Master Class seal? I promoted him to General with a regular seal, but now I'm unable to use my MC Seal.
Is general the highest he can go?
Also thinking about demoting him and than level him up to level 10 again.

He needs to use a 2nd seal to reclass. I'd wait until he gets to level 16, and then move him to another promoted class.

To everyone,
Thanks for the correction on Jill. It was a long time since I played PoR and RD. I got the characters a bit confused.
Anyway, never used Haar. I probably missed a few good axe users here and there since I'm biased. But I just never feel like I can rely on them.

Second seal re-classes unit; master seal promotes unit.
I never once forged a weapon in my first playthrough (Hard/Classic). I guess it can be useful for especially challenging battles, but I think there are better ways to spend your money.

PoR Haar wasn't anything special
RD Haar is straight up God-Mode. Would easily put him as one of the top 5 units to ever exist in the whole FE series.

Ok, thanks.
Do you think general is the best class for Frederick? Then I'll just leave him as a general.

Wow. Strong words. Well, maybe if I take a trip back with the Greil mercenaries on my FE kick, I'll give him a try then.

Now how the hell am I NOT supposed to do all these paralogues that just opened up? I want to meet my children, but it will just level me too much

Honestly, unless you're having problems with a given characters, wait until they hit 20, and then promote or reclass. If you're impatient, promote after 10, and then reclass after that as much as you want. 20 just affords you some sweet skills, but under 15, you level quicker.
If we're talking about Radiant Dawn
Edward is my boy. To hell with Zihark, I always ran with Edward even on hard. Sure, he's not that great of a unit, but he can be a beast if you raise him up. What you put out is what you get, and in Edwards case I get a badass Trueblade that kicks all kinds of ass.
I can't wait to use him as a spotpass character, even if his ability is kind of meh.

Unless you're grinding, I don't think you'll be THAT overleveled. I can't imagine what you're doing that is overleveling you to the point where main chapters are trivial. They may be easy (insofar as you don't get slaughtered by the RNG) but I don't think it completely trivializes the game.

While we're talking about Radiant Dawn, I'd just like to take this moment to brag about my speed-capped Micaiah. Oh, it was glorious. I'd put her on the front lines with Sothe nearby and she'd dodge and double everything. I also raised a killer Leonardo that playthrough. My Dawn Brigade could not be stopped.

Well, should nearly all of my main team be promoted at chapter 14? I haven't really grinded at all, just did a few paralogues early on and 1 or 2 non-story battles because they were blocking a secret shop with a second seal.
It's still challenging to some extent because I'm not letting anyone die, but it does feel like I shouldn't be as powerful as I am when I can just send in a few random pairs into a large group of enemies without having to worry about them dying.
Playing on hard/classic by the way.

I also managed to cap Micaiah's speed on at least a couple of my RD playthroughs.
Micaiah was quite a beast in the final chapter. So many generals, so much Thani...
Other amazing units:
Haar
Nephenee
Elincia if you cap her stats
Mia
Ilyana (for the SS thunder tome)
can't think of any others but those were all really good

Thumbs up. Is this your first Fire Emblem?
He doesn't always have to block axes with his face
I use him with Nolan 24/7, dat Earth support

That's about all he does in Part 1 when you have no leadership stars and the enemy has nothing but leadership stars.
Come on, Micaiah, be a better leader!

You know who should be on that list? Fiona. Seriously, look at her growth rates, and her skills. And the fact that she's one of the few actual interesting characters in the Dawn Brigade. She'd be a great unit if they gave her decent base stats, and more than three chapters to catch up to everyone. So much wasted potential there. If RD is remade, she deserves her chance to shine.

She would be usable if the chapter she joined wasn't an indoor chapter, then a swamp chapter, than a solo chapter, and then finally another indoor chapter. She might as well not even be playable.

so when my main character hits 20 as a hero, is he done?
or am I second sealing him back to anything and going through the process again?
I noticed they lose a ton of stats when they do that, but they potentially surpass their original totals?
Totally new to FE here so im not sure what exactly is the best course of action
I also didnt get chrom with anyone and ive lost some of the potential matches for him

Any characters you just don't give a fuck about and don't use?
Right now the 2 kids I just don't give a fuck about is Mirirel's kid and Panne's. Personality and shit stats rolls mostly.

Second Seal him to another promoted class. You'll be able to learn new skills and earn more stat gains. Your stats will be adjusted (for better or worse) on class change depending on what you are changing to, but those are only minor changes.
Laurent, Yarne, Ricken, Maribelle, Brady got shelved on my first.
Gregor, Nowi, Ricken, Panne and all the mothers who got Galeforce for their kids (including Cordelia :I) were shunned on my 2nd. Getting Galeforce on them early on had them pretty OP, so I took 'em out for a while, but never got back to using them.
I just married Miriel and Ricken since I don't give a shit about either, and figured they deserved each other.

Ive lost Kellam, Maribelle, and Virion in combat
Ricken and Nowi and a lot of the later characters after Panne get right on the bench
I took on the GameCube one but it didn't stick for whatever reason. The portable nature of it and types of battles you're able to approach keep it fresh, consistently.
Is this the best one? I don't mind tracking down the best of there's a consensus

I'd put the PoR/RD combo above this, but it's kinda unfair since that's two games worth of awesome to tell the whole story and build the world. I'd put Awakening as my favorite standalone game of the series, and that's saying a lot for me since I've liked every one I played (even Shadow Dragon).
gerome's personality sucks. and that's too bad because virion's a cool guy and cherche wants to be there for her son. i don't think i'll be using him or pairing him up with the other people from his age group that i like.
lissa's kid's kind of a weirdo. yarne's a bit of a jackass, but that's all from his mom. still looking for a good person to pair morgan up with.
noire's pretty awesome though. bipolar to the extreme. fits, since donnel and tharja are her parents.

Not much of a consensus since it's a very consistent series with only one translated game below great. I like the Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn combo, but you really can't go wrong with any of them except for Shadow Dragon maybe, which isn't bad either but not as good as the rest.
Just keep in mind the rest aren't as forgiving as this one. Awakening is pretty damn streamlined compared to some of the others, which can be pretty brutal if you don't know what you're doing.

Sgt. 2nd Class in the Creep Battalion, Waifu Wars
In my normal run-through, I never cared about Vaike, Ricken, Stahl, Frederick, Gregor, Libra, Henry Sully, Say'ri, Panne, Anna, Virion, Kellam.
Half had no plans for babies and the other half were only for baby purposes, and I wasn't going to replace normal units with baby units.
Half had no plans for babies and the other half were only for baby purposes, and I wasn't going to replace normal units with baby units.
Indeed
Don't use any characters that are already promoted so. Anna, Say'ri, Frederick, Libra. And I ignored Henry because I married everyone off too early.
I'd pair her up with Chrom if the game actually allowed that. As it stands, Frederick makes for a decent enough partner.
More on the current thread of discussion, there's quite a few characters that I don't care much for. That I left behind most of the first generation as soon as I got their kids was a sad reality, although easy to justify given how far above their parents they were. I dropped my Cavaliers about as soon as the game would allow me. I stacked my army with Pegasus Knights, which cost me some stages, but after a bit of time they turned into literal engines of destruction, so I don't really regret that.
I really didn't care for Kellam. He was pretty boring, and just looked really out of place. His gimmick that he's never noticed worked pretty well for me, given where he stood in my army.
Most of the other units, I tried to give a fair shake, mostly for supports, although there's definitely a few that I completely skipped over. Ricken, for one. I didn't really use Maribelle either - by the time I got her, Lissa had assumed a role in my army as designated healer, and she was much better at it (and, quite frankly, much hardier) than Maribelle was. It helps that I wasn't that enthralled with her character, although her support with Donnel is fairly charming. Libra, I wound up forgetting about entirely after I got him. I only wound up using him because I was fast running out of bachelors and Olivia needed someone to pair with.
I actually liked Say'ri quite a bit - she had killer character design and Swordmaster is my favourite class in the game, although her Avatar support seems pretty boring, so I don't feel too bad about committing way before hand.
I didn't care much for Panne's kid at all. I always thought it was a bit funny, really, how Lon'qu and Panne managed to produce a wimp like him.
He was a candidate for her while I get with Lucina or Severa , but dat S rank. I just feel bad for him =/
I've never used Mirirel outside of Chapter 3. By that point in the game Robin was already much stronger with magic than she was so I didn't even bother.

im 14 hours in, chapter 13, and im debating restarting now that I know who some of the later characters are and how the children aspect work
im still not worried about power gaming it and doing the galeforce thing with everyone and making sure that the stat gains are at x levels, just playing it like I have been. But Chrom not having an actual wife kind of screwed things up real good
should I tough it out and get at least one playthrough complete, or go ahead and scrap it?

Finished... Man, last level was a cake walk, took 3 turns, boss went down like Diablo being whacked in Diablo I, shows how much time I spent leveling perfect characters. The ending was kinda disappointing, no crispy neat epic animation like in the earlier level.
Time for Hard Classic (was casual before) and new match making set-up. Avatar will get 2nd gen waifu this time.
