Loving this game, really broke my post-P4G blues. It's my first FE game, so I'm not totally familiar with the mechanics, specifically how equipment works.
When Im shopping or find new gear, how can I tell if my character stats improve? Also, where do I look to see what gear hits harder than others? I've tried some gear which seems to have higher stats but seems to hit weaker.
Also, I'm playing normal and classic thinking that I would appreciate the characters more if they could be perma-killed, but I'm regretting that decision. Can I change to casual now or do I need to restart.

I most certainly meant both. Batman, Superman, and Casanova in one.
I don't like her! She hits on every single aspect of some female anime character tropes I don't like. Uuuuuuuuugh. No thanks.

Incest is already a thing in Fire Emblem.
But SAO has fake incest. Not the real stuff that you're preaching. lol.

You could manage with any class really, I think it's just up to preference.
Most weapons don't actually improve character stats. There are just weapons that hit harder than others. The Mt (Might) number represents that weapon's power, and you can see that as you're viewing a shop or right in your inventory if you view its description.
You can not switch between Classic and Casual after you begin the game.

How do people feel about Lightning Speed (the skill)? Like it seems fine on Lunatic (because enemies feel faster on this difficulty) at the moment, but how does it feel on lower difficulties?
Ah, to be honest, it's because I'm not a hardcore player so I stick to hard instead of going to difficulties like lunatic. That gives me enough leeway to use characters I like, and I hate seeing them die and miss out on experience. I was just saying that abusing saving seems worse than abusing non-permadeath to me. Yoshirider is right though, you can eventually get broken characters regardless.
I wouldn't know from personal experience but I imagine it'd still have some decent convenience on Normal or Hard.
It's called Galeforce now, by the way.

I've seen many people say it's the best skill in the game.

That's it. I'm not using a JP wiki for skill stuff anymore. :|
It could theoretically be overpowered if playing on a lower difficulty, but it would be a reasonable asset on Lunatic+ or Lunatic Classic.
It better be. Sumia needs to become useful at some point in the game. (°ロ°)☝

Goddamn the wait is painful.

Fire Emblem Online is the future.
If you're female, yes.
Even being third world citizens, we'll get it in next week. That's way luckier than EU people!

Hahahah yeah.
Well, alright, if you put it that way, I guess my annoyance is not as bad as those in the Euro land then.
Sorry euro people! Xp

Huh, didn't expected that it would be wrapped in so much secrecy.

So I heard about the Canada street date-breaking shenanigans and thought it wouldn't hurt to try GameStop in Salt Lake City, at the very least to preorder the game for the art book.
Clerk said to me, "Sorry man, you're like the 6th guy I've had to tell that we don't have any more preorders." So then I asked, "Alright then, do you guys have any copies of Xenoblade for Wii?" and got a swift no to that.
The other clerk saw I was pretty bummed and said to me, "Hey, as a consolation prize, you can have this:" and he hands me the art book for free

That's awesome! I tried the same thing with the GameStop in Riverdale, no more preorders there either.
I already have a preorder, but the place isn't getting the game until tuesday. It's only an extra day, right? ;_;

Thanks! The changes flow better in English anyway.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
How are people getting the games so early :/
Suddenly I wonder if this would be the case for Pokemon XY where there'd be people who broke release date D:

Uh from what I read, basically there was a goof by Nintendo Canada and Gamestop Canada where there wasn't a street date on the game. So stores started to sell it early before Nintendo put a stop onto that.
I suspect Nintendo will be crazy strict on Pokemon XY though.

Skill affects your hit rate as well as your critical rate.

Yeah, weapons in Fire Emblem are super simple. There's no equipment that you wear, like in most RPGs. The only things that factor in are the unit's stats, and the weapon stats, and you can see the weapon stats when you shop.
All you need to know is that Iron is the weakest, then Steel, then Silver. They usually decrease in accuracy, but in some games Silver has better accuracy than Steel. Not this one though. Killer weapons are not that strong but have a high crit rate. Brave weapons hit twice. But the better a weapon is, the less uses it has. That's all! You can press some button to describe everything on the screen, if you want to see the weapon stats.
Huh, I had no johntv had been working on Fire Emblem. Very cool.
Mt = Might, which is weapon strength. Basically higher = more damage potential.
In most Fire Emblems, it's usually a good idea to carry a weaker weapon along your super weapons. Like if you have a Brave Axe, you really want to conserve that until you need something to die NOW. So bring a Steel or two along to use on the riff-raff. Maybe even an Iron if you're helping feed kills to a weaker unit.
I'd like to know more about forging, too. I'm having a hard time justifying the cost if the damn weapon is going to eventually break, anyway.
Thanks! I was thinking Mount but it would not have made sense at all.
Yeah, I haven't made any money at all.
