So I'm at Paralogue 2 and

Spoiler

I tried rushing the village with Sumia and Frederik but didn't get there in time for it to be saved as I had to switch to Frederik halfway through because of archers. Anna also got downed and said she would ''close shop for the day'' (I'm on Classic, that means it still will have some impact right ?). What was there in the village ? Edit : I haven't talked to Anna yet

Goddamn is this game fun, I usually hate srpgs but this doesn't even feel like one. I can't wait to get marriages going.

Oh god, yeah I know what they are, but are they pretty rare in this game ? Thinking about restarting this chapter...

Aww yeah, just found a hard copy at a local Target. Damn this thing is scarce.

I can't do it either.

Try to rush there with Sumia but she gets hit by an archer and I have to waste a turn killing it or healing and I don't make it in time.

Early on, yes. In the late game, not at all.

Thanks ! I'll just save this and not restart then.

I got a few people contributing to the FIRE EMBLEM AWAKENING SURVEY but I need more.

Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Submit as much information as you want.
Contribute as many times as you want. The more the better.
Don't worry about missing consecutive opportunities to submit.
Don't worry about keeping up with other players. Play on your time. Submit on your time.
Don't worry about writing what sounds good. Just be honest even if have complaints or a rant to give.
Again, honesty and details is what I need. Describing specific mission formations and scenarios is great.
Don't worry about how good or bad you are at the game.


Here's the blog post where I explain the project. You might want to bookmark this page so you always have the survey link handy.

Ah well I'm just downloading it. Just gotta keep my 3DS safe and sound.

I would have resorted to that too had I been unable to find a physical copy, but as convenient as digital distribution is, I still prefer having the thing in my hand in some cases.

Done...now to hold out hope that my Gamestop doesnt accidentally sell my preorder...whenever that hits.

 

[Hale-XF11]

This is interesting. I was just reading through the manual and it says "the system clock can trigger changes in the game." I wonder what that's all about.

 

[Data West]

So should I pair Donnel with someone like Frederick or Lon to get him leveled?

 

[dakkumauji]

This is interesting. I was just reading through the manual and it says "the system clock can trigger changes in the game." I wonder what that's all about.

It is probably referring to the Barracks. Basically after some time past, you can check back in and one of your characters could have found an item, got a temp. stat boost, increase support points, or gain some exp. It's similar to FE12's How's Everyone feature in the preparations menu.

Neat. I guess I haven't unlocked that yet. This game has way more content than I was expecting, even though I didn't really know what to expect since this is my first FE and SRPG game. I look forward to trying that out.

Well to be fair the Barracks conversations are terribly generic, but you can occasionally get some good loot out of it.

 

[Midou]

Yeah, if you can get him to D rank in swords, he will have a much easier time finishing stuff off with steel weapons if you have any. I got him to level 15 so he gets all his villager skills, then used a second seal to turn him into a mercenary, then a couple levels after 10 turned him into a hero, and he is beast.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Playing on Classic/Hard my first playthrough.

It would seem I forgot what a single arrow can do to a pegasus rider, which is a ONE HIT KILL FROM FULL HP TO ZERO.

Whelp, goodbye Sumia. Your entrance was awesome and it's a shame it all ended so quickly for you.

 

[Tyeforce]

Any suggestions for what I should set my avatar's strength and weakness as? I'm new to Fire Emblem so I have no ideal what would be ideal, lol.

I can feel the Chrom/Lon'Qu bromance.

How delicious.

 

[NeonZ]

This is interesting. I was just reading through the manual and it says "the system clock can trigger changes in the game." I wonder what that's all about.

It's the barracks. Some of the dialogue changes according to the time of the day and I think more events are activated according to the clock (in addition to finishing skirmishes/chapters). There are also supposed to be birthday events.

 

[The Awesomest]

My Chrom has a "miss frequently with over 90% chance to hit" problem.

My Chrom has a 1-stat level-up problem. I think I angered the RNG gods by resetting the second time it happened.

Having a really stupid problem that's keeping me from playing the game: can't decide on my avatars appearance. What did everyone else go with? I hate being anal about this sort of shit but for some reason I am.

[MagnetoWned]

I recently sold my Ambassador 3DS on eBay for $170...I was having a hard time deciding if I should get the 3DS XL MK 7 Bundle for $200 or the Fire Emblem 3DS Bundle for $200. I called Gamestop earlier and they said today is the LAST day to reserve the bundle, if you don't reserve it you will not get it! I'm definitely going to get it now after hearing that also because that makes me 100% positive the resell value will be higher long term than a 3DS XL would. Did I make the right decision ;D

Is there any downside to letting Fredrick kill everything since he seems pretty good at one-shotting even the stuff that would almost kill my other troops. Only on chapter 4 though casual normal though.

Whelp, goodbye Sumia. Your entrance was awesome and it's a shame it all ended so quickly for you.

Yeah when this happened to me I decided I wasn't sticking to "100% no restarting missions, no matter what." I didn't realize she'd be one-shotted, and didn't think I should punish myself permanently for that mistake (the first time). I am now much more careful when I see archers!

Sumia is a big asset for my squad, glad I kept her!

Check the last page - people mention you should bench him in the beginning to level up some of your other teammates, otherwise he hogs all the XP. Others brought up that XP is not finite, so maybe not a big deal to let him be a sponge. It might mean more grinding though.

 

[Laurentius]

Is there any downside to letting Fredrick kill everything since he seems pretty good at one-shotting even the stuff that would almost kill my other troops. Only on chapter 4 though casual normal though.

There's always a downside to doing that with any character. Namely, that character will get all the XP, and your others will suffer from the lack of XP.

 

[The Awesomest]

Is there any downside to letting Fredrick kill everything since he seems pretty good at one-shotting even the stuff that would almost kill my other troops. Only on chapter 4 though casual normal though.

Yeah, a single kill gets Frederick a fraction of the EXP that a weaker unit would get. Those weaker units need that EXP to grow stronger and eventually surpass Frederick. If this was most other FE games you'd be screwed since there's a limited amount of EXP in the entire game, but here you should probably grind out some levels to make up for what you gave Frederick. He's really just there to be used as a crutch, and then once everyone else catches up to him, you can actually use him normally.

 

[dakkumauji]

Your other units won't gain the exp and Fredrick will gain less exp per kill compared to what your other units will probably gain. Basically, weakening the entire team expect Fredrick.

[dakkumauji]

It won't matter that much. Just choose what kind of character you want your avatar to be. A mage, a sword user, a speedy guy, the tank and choose according to which stats boost what, like magic for a mage, strength for sword user, speed for speedy guy or defense for tank.

 

[BabeSlayer]

Alright so I really love Fire Emblem and I really want to play this game. I however do not own a 3ds. I am seriously considering picking one up, so my question is this. 3ds and 3ds xl or whatever what are the differences, if this (and maybe one other game) are the only ones I will ever play (unless the other fire emblems are backwards compatible?) What one should I go with and why? Basically i'm on the edge. I just need to be talked into getting one so please talk me into it!

 

[Roto13]

What stats to use as the strength and weakness is entirely dependant on what kind of character you want your avatar to be. He can do anything.

 

[Mr. Fix]

The 3D is glorious.

Unfortunately the 3DS' can't play GBA games. For the most part, 3DS games look the same on an XL.

XL has a better battery life and bigger screen. It's also harder to lose focus on the 3D with a bigger screen, but there's more crosstalk. Only colors for XL are red and blue, if you care. It may be more comfortable for your hands. 3DS can play DS games. I'm sure you'll find some other games to make a purchase worth it.

This helped me decide on my assets/flaws choice. I went with +Spd and - Mag.
