I guess I'm having more trouble choosing a weakness, lol. I'm afraid choosing the wrong stat is going to really cripple me in the game or something.

I'm only on Chapter 3 and I can tell this game is going to be amazing. The music and cutscenes are spectacular.

Well if you are focusing on one attacking stat, choosing the other as your weakness will be ok.
Either way, the weakness will just be a few less points in that stat, shouldn't be enough to extremely cripple your character.

Got to chapter 5 on hard. I dont know how this would even be possible if i wasnt on casual.
After clearing a third of the map then having reinforcements come, i quit and restarted on normal. Fuck it, im playing for fun, not to prove myself.

Just pair her up with her future husband for the stat bonuses. If she's a liability you can always just use her for that purpose if you're low on units while still building up for support dialogue.
Yes.
In Canon she's Chrom's ideal wife, although you might want to choose Olivia instead [for superior stats].

Any outstanding benefits to M / F avatar?
As in, one gender lacking for pairings?

In terms of gender? None, other than who you'd want to marry. I believe the (M) Avatar can have a daughter, while the (F) Avatar has a son.

Just started downloading this on EShop. All stores were sold out...
It also matters for reclassing as there are gender specific classes.

I also chose SPD+ & MAG-, good lord, my Avatar is a beast! He's currently level 12 after finishing Paralogue 2:
- STR - 13
- MAG - 9
- SKILL - 11
- SPD - 17
- LCK -10
- DEF - 10
- RES - 5
When I pair him with my lvl 9 Sully, S ranked for hot waifu action, they destroy everything!
Raising Donny is coming along well. He's half way through lvl 9 and I pair him with Fred. Can't wait to go the popular path of Lv 15>Merc>Hero.
By the way, when do all the class change seals start popping up? I'm about to start chapter 6.

For those who are ahead in the game, do the dialogs feel like they were written with a male protagonist in mind or do they work for both males and females? I'm thinking of having a female avatar.

Is there a way to browse the EShop while downloading a game, or am I trapped waiting for it to download?
How'd I forget this? Damn.
But yeah:
Males: Barbarians, Fighters, Berserkers, Warriors, Demon Fighters
Females: Pegasus Knights, Falcon Knights, Dark Fliers, Troubadours, Valkyries, Brides

There are slightly more male characters than female characters in this one, so a female Robin will have the most choice for marriage. (But Robin can support with every single character in the game, so it won't make much difference.)
Besides appearance, the best thing to focus on is what class(es) you plan to make Robin and Morgan. (Morgan will always be the opposite gender of Robin.) So if you plan to make either one a gender exclusive class, thinking about that and what marriage is necessary to achieve it is important.
You forgot Villager for males.

Just caved and got this off the eShop, if I've played every FE game released in the US, do you guys think Hard would be good to start off at? I'm really considering doing this Nuzlocke style, so I'm not entirely sure what to do.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Also, I dunno if it's just my internet, but Awakening downloaded REALLY quickly for what I thought it would be. It was just over 20 minutes I think.

If he's male, yes.

I started both a male and female file, and while most of the dialogue works with both genders, there are some changes. For example, Chrom's C-support with a male Avatar is about Avatar being worried about Chrom or something stupid, but the female C-support involves the Avatar about to kill Chrom because he accidentally insulted her a lot.
Resistance to magic.
Ah, thanks.
Where the hell are everyone's feet? DLC? The horses get hooves lol. What a weird quirk.
My save file says 3 hours, but I've played for almost twice that (Classic/Hard). I got to the last guy on Paralogue 1 and he critical'd Fredrick :/
Not looking forward to playing that map again.

Do it. This is a great FE with which to hop onto the wagon.
The OST's amazing.
While there are some minor mechanics that aren't in the others, I think the newer ones make this the best one to dip into. It's probably my favorite in terms of gameplay. Take a leap of faith!

Hey, speak for yourself, my Chrom is going to have some tomboy tsundere Amazonian warrior wife.
Thanks. I'm still holding out for my copy too.

So is the only difference between classic and casual just the permanent death thing? Are there any other changes? Also, is there any penalty at all for death in casual aside from that person not being able to finish the current battle?
Also, is there a good guide anywhere so I don't miss out on getting all the characters and stuff?

I wish everyone would stop talking about this. STOP! XD There are feet/shoes on them. They are just very small and taper off to a point in most cases.
It's a more "chibi" style. It's just stylized that way to have nonexistent feet because it's not as important with expression of a character than something like eyes and hands are. Yes there are many other ways to stylize a chibi. Some uglier than others. They just chose this one (probably for a balance of detail, slick, and cute. Adding feet on a chibi character will add more bulk and give off a stockier look. This game is probably going for more litheness and daintiness in style).
EXAMPLE from deviantart of such a chibi:
Anyway, let's compare stats!

Casual also allows you to save anywhere.
Classic only lets you suspend, so you can't abuse it.
Casual only affects perma-death and saves mid-battle. The only penalty I could think of is that the unit can't get anymore exp for the rest of the chapter.
There is a guide, but there are some spoilers. They let you know when there are unique characters in maps, and all you have to do is talk to them with Chrom. Others join automatically at the start, end, or during the chapter.

It's just with a camera phone and a steady hand (used a HTC Amaze). I edited the skew slightly in photoshop, but it's pretty good, ain't it? XD
I hear actual equipment to get direct screens costs over $100. lol

I don't mind the spoilers, where can I find this guide?
Also, I'm really confused about the whole parent/child thing, is there just a simple "hey dummy, pair up these two" list so I can just get the most out of the child characters without having to worry?

So, lemme ask you folks. Should I go for perma-death or not? I ask because I'm the kind of person who would instantly restart any fight where I lose anyone, and I worry that practice would then ruin the entire game. Are there difficulty modes seperate from permadeath? If so, what would you folks suggest as a difficulty level to counterbalance the lack of permadeath?

God I've only just beaten Chapter 2 and I'm absolutely loving this game. It's taking me back to playing FE 7. It's just so good already, now I'm afraid I really won't give any other games much attention at this point.
Prax
Member
Yeah, difficulty modes are separate from permadeath options.
Play hard with casual mode then if you're so concerned. --I wouldn't recommend lunatic because that's a lesson in frustration itself. lol
But restarting a chapter due to RNG failure is like.. part of the whole experience! XD
Can't you just save them into the notepad to the SD card and they come out in the photos?
thetrin
Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Yeah, there are three difficulties, and then either Casual or Classic.
I don't see anything wrong with going with Normal Classic. I've heard it's not that punishing, and it gives you the chance to get some of that authentic FE flavor.

I dunno how. LOL
If there is a way to get screenshots from the 3DS, I am too stupid to figure it out. Is it different if I bought the physical cartridge and not the download?
Mind you, I only got the 3DS for Fire Emblem so I haven't played with it much. XD

For marriages and kids:
http://serenesforest.net/fe13/support.html
The ones listed in red are the support candidates for the characters on the left side of that table. Or you could just look at the support menu in the game. Any of your female units can marry a character that they could have an S-rank support with (which it should say).
Next to friends, theres a note section, that lets you scribble under screens shots.
I just tried it, and they export to the photos, but don't show up in my SD card when I plug it into my computer only the bottom part with the scribbles. Bummer.
I swear I thought that worked before.

So, since you can grind in this game, is it not very problematic to get the right people matched up for marriage or do you have to be very careful from the beginning with who to match up?
Edit: And is there a better or worse path for the avatar? Should I go for either a fighter or a mage for whatever reason? Or just whatever I want?
