Only one you have to worry about is Chrom, because
He'll propose to who ever is highest(I think) after Chapter 11, or just a random no name villager if he has no links.

Thanks, do you know if there is a "best" choice for Chrom?
It can get tough to build relationships between two weak characters later, since the random skirmishes level up as you go, but the (temporarily free) DLC helps alleviate that.
Well in the Opening video he's with

It's about 25 DLC chapters so far, and I don't think there are going to be any more tbh.

Sumia, Olivia or Maribelle all give access to the Peg Knight class, where you can learn Galeforce.
Olivia gives the best stats, with Sumia following. Maribelle gives the stats if you want to toss Chrom's child towards being a mage.

Thanks guys
Is there a breakdown of who to match up with who other than Chrom?
Also, does the birthday you choose do anything in game?

No limits. A's with everyone in the support list for each character is possible.
Still trying to figure out the Pair Up mechanic. It's very easy, at least right now, to forget who is separating to the adjacent space. I tried to have Frederik drop off
to the sheltered space behind him in Paralogue 1. Instead,
dropped off Frederik!
Needless to say he died instantly.
Question: When do the hearts start appearing between adjacent units? Sometimes if I attack a unit adjacent to one of my own, I'll get the hearts indicating that the support level has gone up. Other times nothing happens. Will they eventually reach a point where they 'share hearts'?

Just go to Serenes Forest for all the info you need, man. XD

I am not sure what Birthday does--well, I read about it, but I forgot, so it must not be important. lol
Nothing is coming to Vita.
Fire Emblem is one of Nintendo's oldest first party franchises.
Yes. The entire Fire Emblem series is being brought to Vita by Sega in a collector's edition.

I know on someone's birthday, if you go to the Barracks, they'll find a random item, a temp stat boost and some exp. That's about all I seen related to birthdays.

Only some units support one another.
The Avatar can support anyone.
MOST opposite-gender units will support one another.
But there are only SOME male-male or female-female compatible friendships. Check the support lists to see who can gain hearts.
If no hearts appear when an attack is adjacent, that means they will never become friends.
I really should have known that. Makes perfect sense. It's always been the same in previous Fire Emblems, yet the visible hearts somehow threw me off.
I'll definitely start paying more attention to who can support who.
I am porting it to Vita as we speak. Please be patient.
For non-compatible units, is there like a certain max support level (say, C), or will they simply never gain any support ranks?
haha seriously? had no idea from looking at it. Had never heard of the series until yesterday.
Its developer, Intelligent Systems, is one of the oldest Nintendo teams.

I guess this goes to show how much exposure the series is finally getting. XD
Really though, this is the 13th game in the series (not counting some downloadable satelleview one from looong ago) and 5 other ones have released in North America before it. A few characters are even in Smash Bros. Marth and Roy and Ike? You really never heard?

All right, starting here shortly. However, I haven't decided yet on Classic vs. Casual. I kinda dig the allure of fearing for my characters and tension it'll give the game. On the other hand, I play very few SRPGs and could wind up getting rocked.
Thoughts? What're most of you guys doing? Anyone have an idea of the overall difficulty(just on Normal)?

Permdeath and Fire Emblem are synonyms.
I've never really played one before either, I went Normal Classic. Basically the neat thing about classic is that since you don't want anyone to die, you are forced to really think about each move and keep your players out of enemy range. It's kind of fun to be pushed into using stronger players as bait, blocking units in hallways or using range and team ups effectively to keep everyone safe. I think on Casual there would be a lot less tension since you could pretty much just throw everyone at the enemy and win a battle of attrition.
It hasn't been too hard so far (Chapter 5) but it does keep you on your toes and you pay for stupid mistakes.
Any idea on how much memory that requires? I'm considering buying a bigger card since I'm not sure I'll have enough space on my 2gb card.

So wait, I just want to make sure.
You can have people have as many supports as you want, but only one S support per character? Or is it like how it's been in 7 and Sacred Stones where you get 5 ranks total?

Yeah, this definitely sounds more exciting than the Casual option. Woosh. All right. Time to start it up.
Well, aside from an hour earlier, I haven't been able to play all that much. Why?
I lent my 3DS to my sister. About time she started to play any kind of games, and Fire Emblem is one of the very few that interested her (she played the GBA one to almost completion). 4+ hours in her gameplay clock and counting. Nice.

It is. Classic really adds tension and drama to the game.

As many as you want, but only one S rank per character.
If two people can form a relationship, they can get it up to level A. There's no set number of relationship points.

Ok, thanks! I just unlocked the first Support between the Tactician unit and Chrom and wanted to make sure it was ok before going all willy-nilly.
I remember someone at SerenesForest saying all the DLC put together is roughly 150MB.

Really? Damn. I've been not reading supports because I thought it was limited to five, and I wanted to save some for later.
I may have seen the name on a list of upcoming games or something like that but other than the DS/3DS (which i barely play) I haven't owned a Nintendo console since the N64.
Yeah, feel free to go all-out with Supports.
If you're particular about who you want to Marry, though, stop at Rank-A. Once you "activate" the Rank-S Support conversation that's when you decide who that particular character will marry. However, since you have to physically activate the conversation yourself, you don't have to worry about "accidentally" making the choice.
Permadeath can be super frustrating. Battles can take a loooong time, and restarting one sucks a lot. It really changes the way you play: you have to be cautious about everything. Some people really like it; I personally hated it. Barely made it through FE7, despite loving other SRPGs (FFT, Disgaea, etc.).
I'm planning to try Hard Casual. Don't know how it'll compare to Normal Classic, but I reckon Normal Casual would be way too easy. The game is balanced around Classic, so you're expected to be able to beat every mission without losing anyone.
But at the same time, if you go Normal Casual, it's easier to handicap yourself later if it's too easy (eg, only use (N-1) characters on maps, or use all the characters instead of leveling a core team, etc.). If halfway through you find the game too hard, you've either gotta grind or restart
It's a tough call, no doubt.

It looks like Vincent did some digging on the official site and discovered the order the upcoming SpotPass teams will be distributed.
That's why you need to choose the appropriate difficulty level (ie, Normal or Hard). I think if you're cautious enough and plot things out, you'll rarely need to restart. I don't really mind restarting unless I'm having to do it often (which used to be the case when I didn't really know what I was doing).Permadeath can be super frustrating.

Is anyone here doing a no-restart run on their first playthrough? I'd like to think that's more fun in a way, but I bet that changes when you lose your first character.
Genealogy is too far down! Also, how come there's a map name displayed? I thought spotpass teams are placed on the world map at random?
