Guys, help me! I'm too powerful which in turn is preventing me from recruiting Cynthia. She's comes to me before I can reach her and she dies as a result of my counter attacksAny suggestions on how to overcome situations like this?
If you make use of a paired up Olivia with a flier and either sumia or a paired up chrom with a flier you can reach her first turn

Oh, that's good. I actually had Chrom paired with Sumia, but for some reason I didn't think I could reach her, or even survive the swarm. What I did was mark Cynthia with A and kept everyone out of her danger zone. The rest of the field rushed me and bounced off like pebbles.
That's where Galeforce comes in handy.
Wait... today? I'm confused. Shouldn't this update tomorrow? (also, tried downloading spotpass content and nay, nothing yet)

Is Kjelle worth keeping around? I've leveled her up to a promoted general, but her growths/stats have been kinda meh so far. I do like that she's got both Sol and Luna (paired Sully up with Gregor), but don't know how it really works in practice (does she have a chance to activate both or just one or the other?).
If I keep her around, I might have to make a tough decision on who to remove from my current lineup. So many characters I enjoy using! I'm thinking Cherche or Cordelia would have to go. Shame I haven't even gotten a chance to see what Cherche's kid has to offer yet.

Kjelle + Ingo combo works really good for me, beat a good portion of paralogue 13 with that couple.

Waiting until April to get Priam is going to be a drag.
You can only activate one of them at a time (Sol is better to keep than Luna).
Haven't used Kjelle myself but she is a child character so she should turn out fine if you lvl her up more. If you do decide to drop someone, I would suggest dropping Cherche since she really doesn't have any good class sets and skills (I do like Miracle & Renewal), when compared to what Cordelia has to offer.

I think I only need to grind up one more S support and I'll have all the children paralogues unlocked. I did a few today, getting MU, Sumia, and Lissa's child.
I've come to the conclusion that Lucina is really really good. Even on her own she was able to fight hard and kill a quite a few things.
My goal of finishing this game before Luigi's Mansion arrives is looking better and better. I wanted to have the Paralogues unlocked by the end of Thursday and have all the children recruited by the end of the weekend but that timetable might be moved up because of how well I played this morning.
Also some of the support convos are really charming and fun. Didn't really expect to enjoy that aspect of the game as much as I have. Also love how some of the traits of the parents manifest themselves in their children.

Critical from a generic axe mook in ch.3. He only had a couple HP less than his max.

What difficulty are you on? I'm playing on hard and I don't recall ever being crit upon yet (17 or so chapters in).
I think it was most likely a guy using a hammer? You have to watch out for enemy weapons/skills on hard mode.
NPD sales should be out tomorrow. Predicitons on sales? I'm going 140k.

That's what I was thinking too. I don't think a critical axe hit would likely even kill Freddie in anything that isn't Lunatic or above that early in the game. It might, I guess, but he is definitely weak to beast/armor weapons.

Hard. When I was playing on classic I had an enemy land a critical at least once every encounter. Led to a lot of restarts.
That was it, my bad. I wasn't aware of the special properties of hammers until I killed the guy and got his hammer.
The weapon triangle gets trivialized later as your Skill exceeds their dodge, but since the Hammer is an ax, Frederick wearing a sword would give him a pretty good chance to dodge it whereas Fred's Silver Lance is weak to axes.
It was how I survived the Hammer bro from Lunatic anyway.

The effect of the weapon triangle has pretty lessen as well since at most it'll boost or lower your hit rate by 15 and that's only if the advantageous side has an A rank.

I have a question regarding class changes...
Once you upgrade a character after level 10, if you change then again is it another upgrade, so to speak, or just a class swap?
Some characters I would like to use a seal on but the options seem strange: Mage to fighter or archer?
Am I confusing the seals or something?

Second Seal lets you reclass or in your words, class swap.
Master Seal promotes units.
lvl 10-20 base class -> Master Seal > promoted class
lvl 1-20 base class -> Second Seal -> another base class
lvl 10-29 special class like Taguel, Manekete -> Second Seal -> base class
lvl 30 special class -> Second Seal -> promoted or base class
lvl 1-9 promoted class -> Second Seal -> base class
lvl 10-20 promoted class -> Second Seal -> another promoted class or base
Master seals promote units (Knight to Great Knight), Second seals changes the class (Archer to Mage)

Thanks guys!
So you can only promote your class once?
Just as well, I'm only on chapter 10 and already getting pretty powerful.
Enjoying this game quite a bit.

You can use a Second Seal to change back to a base class then promote again. It isn't usually worth it though.
You technically only need to use a Master Seal once. Personally, that's what I do - once my unit is promoted, I'll just Second Seal whenever I get the skill from a class I want or hit the level cap. However, if you class back down to an unpromoted class, like a Mage or a Thief or a Myrmidon (maybe for a skill you'd like), you need to use another Master Seal to promote back up.

Well, not battle lines, but if you take them, while paired up, to a shinning tile when they have S rankings you can get a bunch of cliche lover quotes (calling the other one beautiful/handsome, saying that they can't live without them, giving a gift or saying that they love each other) rather than the standard ones. There are also special quotes for parent/children.

Spoilers for the end of the game:
I really liked the way the credits were handled. Probably some of my favorite in a game ever. Going into them, I didn't think there would be anyway I would feel sad that I'd be leaving these characters, but the biographies of the characters' lives after the game got to me. A very nice touch.
Also, I wish that the very last scene wasn't in the game, but of course I knew it was coming. At least it was handled fairly well.

Kellam, my hero,
still got screw no matter how much he contributed. Ungrateful bastards. How do you forget the hero that slain a good chuck of the bosses and married your damn princess.

It's not up yet for me. I'm sure someone will check in when it's available.
Finished the game last night, ~24 hours on Normal/Classic.
Love the game itself to itty bitty pieces and will likely start a new playthrough later, but I thought the story didn't quite stick the landing (the post-credits tag felt like a bit of a cop-out, or at the very least didn't provide enough context or justification for what happened).
Still, the characters were fun, the game was fun, and I enjoyed my time with it.

I paired her with Vaike, and that wasn't awful. It got entertaining in the last couple supports. I only did Gregor's C support, but that seemed to have potential.
PR for upcoming SpotPass stuff
SPRING AWAKENING: SPOTPASS CONTENT COMING TO FIRE EMBLEM AWAKENING THIS SPRING
March 13, 2013
Fire Emblem Awakening launched on Feb. 4, exclusively on Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL, but bonus content keeps the game play going strong. Fans will continue to look forward to and receive free game content via SpotPass all the way through spring. This new SpotPass content is different from the downloadable content that is currently available through the game's Outrealm Gate. The free SpotPass map available today is called "A Hard Miracle," and follows the story of Fire Emblem Awakening main character Chrom as he encounters a mysterious woman and sets off on a journey with her to rescue a group of kidnapped villagers.
During the next few weeks, more maps will become available through the SpotPass feature. These include "Ghost of Blade" on March 28, a haunted tale about a ghost and the ultimate sacrifice; "The Wellspring of Trust" on April 11, a map full of challenging enemies; and "The Radiant Hero" on April 25, which takes place on an isolated island as Chrom and his allies search for a legendary hero. Players can also look forward to other special items that will be distributed for free via SpotPass, such as special weapons, additional playable characters and bonus challengers for the game's Double Duel multiplayer mode.

Kellam's was pretty funny.
Yeah say what you want about the original story and Shadow Dragon but at least they had a concentrated defined vision about an 80's as fuck tale of a prince journeying to slay an asshole dragon and his evil wizard bud. Awakening's story feels like some frankenstein's monster-esque cobbled together abomination that lifts characters and plots wholesale from the other games but does none of the work that made those moments actually meaningful or worth reaching.
I paired her up with Henry. Was pretty entertaining.

Just wondering, have Nintendo announced a schedule for the Paralogues? I'm basically just waiting on those now.
I liked her messing with Lon'qu. Epitomizes the "silly experiments in the name of science" that Miriel is all about.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I haven't played SD but I did play its sequel and I found the story cohesive there.
upcoming paralogue spoilers
Emmeryn is next, isn't she? March 28 is so far away.
Emmeryn's is A Hard Miracle, which is supposed to be tomorrow. Yen'fay's is Ghost of Blade.
