This sold me. It doesn't take much
. I did find the micromanaging of the units a little annoying one I got the handle on the game. Downloading now as I don't feel like trying to find this via retail. . See you guys on the killing fields!decoyplatypus

It depends on how much you intend to grind. If you're comfortable grinding, it takes just a little bit of work to turn him into the best unit in your army (a title he will retain for a long time). If you're on a no-grinding run, it may not be worth feeding him kills when the rest of your team is struggling to keep up with the curve.

He will become a monster. Put your back into it now, and he'll be able to tank entire maps on his own later.
Agreed. I love repeatable lines in RPGs; they make characters feel more "alive" for the lack of a better word.
"Like candy from a babe!"
"Down, swordhand!"
"This is the end, friend!"
"To the abyss with you!"

Just got to chapter 11. Loving this so far but man, the story is terrible and the characters are meh. Big step back from the Radiance games in that regard.
Everything else is pretty fantastic though and a great evolution of the series.

I giving up on Lunatic, for now. Not giving Frederick Robin's Bronze Sword in Chapter 1 bit me in the ass. I'm going back to Hard.

So I am getting kinda frustrated with playing on Classic. I am just 2 hrs in the game and if someone dies, I usually close the game and restart. I even do it for people not in my party like the merchant girl cause I have no idea if she will come back or later on if you need to save her in the paralogue 2 mission...idk man...am I doing it wrong?
Those are pretty vastly different, honestly.
The original Tactics Ogre is a lot better than the remake IMO.
The remake has a lot of just bizarre changes like the completely unbalanced TP moves and the idiotic leveling / class change system that punishes you for trying new classes.
If you loved the remake you owe it to yourself to play the original.

I don't think there's a wrong way to play. Your tendency to reset whenever a character dies puts you in company with many other FE fans. It might even be that the majority of FE players favor "perfect" runs where the death of even a minor and unloved character means reseting and trying again. Other FE fans will reset for some characters but not others (I include myself in this set). And there are probably a few out there who go Iron Man or bust.
Of course, if you aren't prepared to let characters remain dead, and you don't find the frustration of occasional (or frequent) resets to increase your overall enjoyment of the game, then you should consider starting a new file on casual mode. Nothing wrong with that either.

Does Normal get noticeably more difficult after Chapter 5, by any chance? So far the game has been entirely too easy. I started on file on Hard, but I can't get past chapter 5 after 6+ attempts (I kept getting unwanted casualties).
My absolute favourites are:
"You're already dead!" (Tharja's critical hit line)
"This is the end, friend!" (Cynthia's critical hit line)
"Too slow, bro!" (Cynthia's dual attack line, it killed me the first time I heard it)
"Ready to get gouged?" (Anna's critical hit line, I love all her lines, actually)
"Pick a god and pray!" (Frederick's critical hit line)

You don't need to save her in paralogue 2. You get nothing of importance for doing so.

The remake is ridiculously easy and the class balance is completely warped. The original's gameplay is definitely better. Atlus' PSX translation was also fine, so the only thing you'd be missing is the new content and wheel of fate stuff from the psp version.

I just noticed returning a character to a previous class sets the class back to level 1. So if I wanted to have MU go from Tactician -> Dark Mage -> Mage -> Tactician -> Grandmaster I'd have to gain 10 levels again the second time I change to Tactician right? That sucks.

Kellam's critical "Come on! Look at me!" is great. Its seems like the only time hes frustrated nobody sees him.
Yea found that out the hard way and it's a major reason why I've decided to just power through the rest of the game instead of trying to pass down good skills to the children.

The entire cast is very Tales-y in its own way, though none quite as blatant as those two. It doesn't help that Awakening shares a vast majority of voice actors/actresses with the Tales series either (example: Sumia = Estelle)

Why are you reclassing between base classes like that? The skills aren't worth it and you would hit the stat caps of those classes. It'd make more sense to go tactician, grandmaster, sage, sorcerer.

From my understanding base classes get better stat increases and gain more experience. Maybe I've misunderstood.

Smash fans would just bitch about another sword user.
It would please me greatly if they replaced Marth with Lucina (but made her a clone of him essentially)
and TBH, forget Chrom. Put Lucina and another female in. Marth and Ike can get the boot. The male monopoly needs to be snuffed out.

Keep dreaming.
Ike would be the one replaced, which I don't want particularly, but I'd be okay with Chrom.coffeehofi

Guys, what is the best match for Cordelia?
Should I go Lon'qu or Henry?

Keep dreaming.
I think Ike should stay and Chrom could get a slot since the 3 of them would be so different.
Given the wild success of Awakening in Japan (and from what I understand, it's been very successful overseas as well), I think it's pretty much a given that at the very least, Chrom will come in representing Fire Emblem. I actually think Lucina has a pretty good shot at getting in as well, given her popularity.
Lon'qu is the better character and the better match for Cordelia in terms of what he'll pass onto Cordelia's kid.

Lonqu is probably better since Severa isn't likely to be used as a magic user.
I'm gonna be hella sad when Ike gets the boot from Smash 4. Chrom's cool and all, but Ike's my favorite lord. I just don't see them adding three swordsman with blue hair in the next Smash.
Lon'qu of course.

Chrom's the most boring option they could find. Just put in Avatar and let him transform gender.

But I was tempted by Slowburn or Life Taker skills from Henry (Dark Knight) >.<
Severa could be a badass life sucker after final touch.

People called Romanes they go the house?
Lifetaker + Galeforce is indeed pretty godly.
I never had any real problems with Severa's STR level ups, though that may be that Henry passed on his dark knight growths and I got lucky.
The stat I seem to be missing the most on a lot of people seems to be luck, actually.
That's the best plan yes.
Severa can promote into Dark Knight with or without Henry, don't worry about it.
And yes, Lifetaker and Galeforce is god-tier.
