Has anyone else experienced a boss dying to Lethality? So good...

yea, this game is very poorly balanced. even on hard they bait you to grind every chapter. i had a shitty time when half of my units weren't promoted on chapter 16. but if you clean the map after every chapter, you'll be overpowering the game.
they took the strategy part out of Fire Emblem with this entry.
Maybe a stupid question: We got the game day one, but neither me or my wife are going to get to it short-term, but I want to get the free DLC before it expires. But apparently I have to make it a ways into the game to even be able to download it? I'm seriously not going to have time to do this before the 6th :/. If I had known this was a requirement I would have done this when I first got the game. Am I actually understanding that correctly though? The eshop link for the free DLC just boots me into the game.

It's pretty short. If you want just skip all the scenes and/or play in the easiest setting. Then when you get the stuff you want in Chapter 4, just restart the game from the very beginning proper, the stuff will still be there
You just have to complete chapter 4 (which really isn't far at all) in order to access the DLC.
Ugh. I will see if I can squeeze that in tomorrow or something. I am honestly kind of salty, I was expecting to just be able to download it through the game :/. Even if I had the time right now, I am knee deep in multiple other games. I'll see if I can power through it, thanks!

20 for master seals and 16 for 2nd seals if you want to maximize stat gains. If you are in a rush to get new skills, 10 for master seals and 15 for 2nd seals.
I'll be honest, if you have so many other games you can pretty much ignore the dlc that's $2 of garbage, out of $50-$100 dlc total.

I got the game and managed to get there in about an hour and a half. It was relatively painless and I'm terrible at strategy games.

This is a mistake. You only need to be able to access Chapter 4, not completing it.
Say, how many skills do each class confer? Is there any way in the game to know the levels required to get skills in each classes?

What does the soft reset do?
Nah, need access to chapter 4 for spotpass/wireless/streetpass. Need access to chapter 5 for dlc island.
2 skills per class. Normal unpromoted class is 1 and 10. Promoted class is 5 and 15. Special class is 1 and 15.

Aaargh that's right, shame on me >_____>
Huh, so if you are hunting for skills then changing class every level 15 is much more beneficial than to keep plowing on, huh.... alright.

Being new to the series, I have 2 questions here.
On Chapter 3 I found a nice sword B rank in one of those glittery spot, however I was not careful enough and got my character killer(yea yea... still learning to pay attention to EVERYTHING). How is the game on the RNG side? Would it be hard to get it again or it would be a waste of time? Waste of time because I got super lucky or waste of time because I will see that weapon for sell in not too long(jrpg style)?
Also, when I press Y on a map a lot of squares on the map become purple. Do I have it right if I think that it represent all the spots where I could possibly be attacked if one of my character is on one of those tiles?
Thank you very much! =)

Completely random from those glittery spots. It's probably not a big deal as they are in every chapter and you can probably come across it again and it probably isn't that amazing compared to keeping a character alive.
Yes, pretty much.

You know you don't need to do that, right? You just select something to purchase and select "add needed funds" and it'll add the exact amount you need.
No, I'm trying to raise everyone, and some of the Spotpass/DLC characters.
The difference between Normal and Hard is pretty big. I feel like Awakening Normal is harder than Sacred Stones Normal, so I'd start with that and see how that feels. Or, start with Hard and quit after a few chapters if you can't handle it.

I'm using prepaid cards
Anyways, just bought EXPonential Growth and Golden Gaffe (finally it works!)
Want to buy Lost Bloodlines Pack but I don't see Lost Bloodlines 2 and 3.... if bought the pack then I need to *wait* until they are available to download to get them or what...?
Hmm yeah I was debating starting on hard but I kind of don't want to start over if it ends up being too hard. I think I'll just start on normal and maybe replay it later on hard if I want more of a challenge.
Thanks!

You'll have to wait. Lost Bloodlines 2 is probably coming out Thursday, but who knows with Nintendo's bizarre DLC schedule. Lost Bloodlines 3 is 3 or 4 weeks away.I'm using prepaid cards

Did you buy the Golden Pack or those two maps separately?
Laughing Banana
Weeping Pickle
Well that's rather silly, isn't it? Huh. I'd rather have them available first before purchasing...
Separately. I guess I just download that Regalia thingy when it comes out (when...? Sigh Nintendo....)
Can't wait to get home and try those two maps. Time to raise support levels for everybody.
Planning for a hard or lunatic playthrough (haven't decided yet) and I want to pair MU with Olivia (My favorite supports for Male MU, plus it will still allow for a pretty bitching Morgan/Inigo), with Olivia out of the picture, the best wife for Chrome resulting in the best Lucina would be Sumia wouldn't it?
After seventy hours or so playing on Hard Classic, I have finally finished the game lol. Somewhere down the road, I felt kind of bored and under challenged so I decided to change a good part of my team to Assassins/Snipers.
Bows are seriously my favorite weapon in the game, hands down. They're never prone to any weaknesses (unlike the sword-lance-axe pyramid tree), they can attack from long distances and they offer some of best skill/speed stats for your characters.
Everything about this game is absolutely amazing. The presentation, from the excellent artwork to the beautiful music, is a sight to behold. That said, this has to be one of my favorite games that I've had the pleasure of playing in a long time. I hope it makes you happy as it did for me.

so I nearly aced endgame on lunatic and took out grima on my first go with him but.... one of my men died before i fell grima. a spotpass mate, sephiran.
took out 3-4 guys before the last one slew him. i thought the guys cockblocking me from grima would stay put but I was horribly wrong. soon as my turn began i took out grima just to see if i was able to.
man i really botched this up. soon as i beat grima i restarted my game in typical L + R + Select fashion. Now I gotta do this all over again... No one dies not even spotpass mates.
GOD DAMN IT!!!

To go with the sketch I did on Friday, here's another in the same idea.
Not to mention I fixed a few things that were bugging me on the last one.
I probably didn't get much of this right at all but whatever. It was a lot more complicated than I thought it was going to be.

I don't disagree, but...
I love the game. I have about 70 hours into it going by the 3DS Activity Log. I finished it initially on Normal/Classic and was disappointed when, by about Chapter 10, my characters became God-like and I dominated the rest of the game with little in-battle strategy. How to use my money, XP and Seals to put together an amazing team? That's really fun strategy. The polish on the game is off the charts. It's my favorite Fire Emblem game outside of Fire Emblem 7. That said, the reason why it's only #2 is precisely because the preparation stuff can break the game in-battle.
I started a Hard/Classic run and it was really really hard initially. I lost characters and I had to let them stay dead. I was that weak and the enemies were that tough / numerous. Unfortunately that's broken at this point. I think I'm on Chapter 14 and I already have 5 or 6 party members who are unstoppable and rarely take damage. The pairing system (getting in two shots at once) + the skill system + the ability to grind is just too much. I personally withheld grinding, but kept pairing. I couldn't make it past Chapters 4 and 5. So I grinded 1 DLC level twice. That was enough to round the corner with a Pegasus Knight so she didn't die instantly. After surviving those chapters it only took a few loot drops and some strategic XP usage and my team was unstoppable.
I'm not sure if this game can ever be fixed in that respect. At least not without more fine gradations of difficulty. I'd love a difficulty between Normal and Hard and the ability to completely toggle off non-DLC and random battles.
Since the MU (and the MU child) can be basically anything, a combination of Lifetaker, Galeforce, Bowbreaker, and be a Dark Flier seems to be pretty kicking to me. Cordelia seems to be the only regular character able to get that combination, though.

What's the deal with marriage/children? I've been looking ahead in regard to Chrom...
Chapter 9-10 spoilers

After his sister dies, a FAQ says something about choosing a wife? I didn't follow the explanation.

Basicly, characters will marry when they reach an S rank support, with the exception being Chrom. He will automatically marry the character with which he has the highest rank after chapter 11. Worst case scenario he marries a random nobody.

Hopefully this is not a spoiler.
Because if it is I am going to be very upset thanks to you.
you have to choose that option for that to happen though.
hm... should i spoiler tag that? i recall reading about the final choice at the very end much earlier on this thread.
meanwhile, started newgame in lunatic+. then I saw the bs skills. I wanna bail out should i bail out?

lol so I thought I could cheat my way through Lunatic, but the last boss beat me into oblivion.
I guess I can't do it without supports.
I guess I can't do it without supports.
I dunno... i was spoiled on that if such is a spoiler by this thread a few days past. done theto edit so w/e. in any case...
i dont care about luna+ or vantage+. what i do care about is that never miss hawkeye skill. got to be kidding me on that one. i will bail out on lunatic+... for now.
They'll usually hit you no matter what in the beginning though lol. Luna+ really hurts.
