Ah, that makes sense. I usually forget about that game since it isn't numbered.
They retain their stats when promoting, so you'd miss out on those extra 10 levels of gains.
I also realized I changed Chrom's class at level 20 before I promoted him. Shit, I think I have to level his Lord class back up to 20 if I switch back.
You're losing 10 potential levels of growth, but you might not be pressed to do 20/20 (max levels pre and post promotion) with every character. I'm still waiting to promote all of mine, but I'm sure someone else will fill you in with more advanced detail.
Ok, I figured it probably didn't just auto level you to 20 before switching.

Maybe they're counting the remakes?
Counting every single game would make New Mystery the twelfth unless they were counting BS FE as well.

Oh yeah, been waiting for the Iwata Laughs interviews for Fire Emblem Awakening.

You are also missing out on learning a new skill that they learn at level 15.
This one varies I think. Sometimes they learn them at level 1, and the other at 10. Once you've gotten both skills for that class, you shouldn't have to worry about it anymore. You'd be able to promote or change once you've secured them.
This would only be true if they were already a promoted class or a class that doesn't promote, as none of the base classes learn a skill at 15.

For promoting I tend to look at it in two ways especially for this game
Since this game allows the mix and matching of skills with the 2nd class seal I personally think promoting any first tier ie lord tactician at lvl 10 is not a bad Idea since you will have access to the 2nd tier classes a bit faster
The benefit of the extra 10 levels of stats is not real really that big a deal since you will eventually max out from all the class changes you do since they revert backs to lvl 1
On that note
Promoting a 1st tier class at lvl 20 to a 2nd tier will just make them stronger but will have the character grow slightly slower and requires more battles
For example in my game Chrom and my avatar were promoted at lvl 20 however while they were stronger they required a bit mor exp I found and required a lot of kills to lvl especially after there 2nd and 3rd class change and I had basically finished the entire hard, mode with a total of 5 units
Tl;dr
Promoting early
-faster access to 2nd tier skills
-stats will eventually cap out
Promoting later
-the unit is ove fall stronger
-becomes a huge exp hog
Hope that helps
It didn't take too many tries to beat it, but fucking Paralogue 3.
Those villagers would walk right into the teeth of the enemy. I wasted my entire Rescue staff, to keep pulling them back from their deaths, as I scurried to kill the baddies. I also wasted a turn with Chrom, who just tells them to flee and he'll protect them.

I wonder what they mean by being involved. Did he just draw some of the characters cause the random ones I'm looking up doesn't seem to be like his style.
That is usually what I do with those kind of characters, but he is totally necessary on Hard, at least was for me.
I didn't even bother
saving them, they literally ran into wyvern rider range constantly

Whenever I read Iwata Asks interviews, I imagine an English translator speaking over hushed Japanese voices. Similar to the early translated Iron Chef shows.
It's supposed to be like that because the game remembers your "real" level, I think.
It sounds like pre-promotes you recruit get the better end of the deal. Though I suppose that was almost always the case. Thank you!
You can't interact with them on the battle field, but after you can go and parlay with the avatar on the world map. You can buy him there.
Oh, that's what I had in mind, you see. I had the impression you really couldn't do anything with the Avatar, but that doesn't seem to be the case to me anymore.
I'm pretty sure you could also just choose to fight the actual team if you don't want to use money to buy the Avatar. Whichever method of recruitment may suit differently to you depending on your circumstance, I suppose. Choose to fight, or pay your way through.

Better than, Mars. Yes, that MARS.
That's an interesting thought. I remember in some different interview post-Shadow Dragon, IS entertained the thought of an all-star Fire Emblem game, and look where we're at now.

But Mars? Really? Really?! They should use that setting for Advance Wars 3DS.

Or the Zone of Enders GBA game.

Well
they gave me three rewards after, which I guess was one for each villager. I can't remember what they were off hand, but it seemed worth my time.
I forgot to visit the town, sadly and didn't pick up my reward from there. Bah.
Yes please. New Advanced Wars inter-planetary defense game now!
And what did your save file say
Nothing; the game didn't ask me to save after the ending.
Doing another playthrough.... who do I waifu next...
Well you'll have seen the time when you saved before the final battle. That was my thought.
Just thinking that could be the source of the "15-20" hours claim, which reflects the save file but not the reality.

I think he was asking how much play time your save file shows, if it does in fact show play time.
Edit: Beaten.
What happens after you beat the game? Is there an epilog of sorts or is it just a "return to your last save point" type of thing?
Oh shoot I completely misinterpreted your post.
It says 31:25. I spent a crapton of time resetting because of deaths and stuff, not to mention me wasting hours upon hours just doing skirmishes and not doing the story.
15-20 hours sounds about right. I might even be generous and say 20-25 but that's me.

That does help. I didn't realize promoting them at a lower level means they grow faster in their new class.
Man, those dues are so stupid. I had the grid that shows which squares were vulnerable to enemy attacks and which weren't, and every time they were in a safe square they'd run to the most dangerous square within range. I should have let them get murdered. (Two of them died anyway.)

Can someone link me the Enemy Phase music from the demo? I don't want to spoil myself with tacks... I'd rather listen to them in-game first. I say this assuming the game's OST is up on YouTube. I hope.
Not all of the songs are on YouTube yet. I imagine the complete OST will be up by around late March or early April.
This is the song you're looking for, but it's the battle version. I can't find the map version if that's what you were looking for. No one uploaded it as far as I know.
Fred big and strong. Fred no need extra experience as much as little people like you and Chrom.

''Yeah well I heard you were selling Fire Emblem on 3DS sooner than expected, you still have some?''
GS: ''No those were only for people who pre-ordered, 2 days after we got the actual release date and we'll respect it.''
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
No FE for me this week-end. I envy all of you Canada GAF who got their copies. D:
