Can the tactician/your character marry or are they just along for the ride?

So I realized that I had forgotten that I had picked up the Fire Emblem game for GameCube. Is it worth a plauthrough?
They definitely can marry.
Your tactician is one of the main characters of the plot. They can marry characters of the opposite sex.

Mmm, I'm wrestling with whether or not to rename my character's name. I usually prefer to keep the "canonical" names but I'm not crazy about "Robin".
What do you do if your avatar goes down? He's the only one I've had killed so far. Moved in front of Stahl to protect him and ended up taking a 36 point critical axe to the face.

It's the sidequests that are also sent out via SpotPass.
It's not a bad game. I think it looks pretty bland especially in battle, but it was IS first go at it.

Okay chapter 5 has just pissed me off. Seems no matter what I do my units stats are just 1 too low to win against swarms of dragons. Down to Normal difficulty for me then...
Path of Radiance is normally very popular among fans of the series. The graphics are a bit dated, as mentioned above, but you get used to it -- amazing game in every other respect.
The avatar character can marry the other characters' children. It's nuts.

How much space is the digital version?

Yes.
Hard/Classic/no restarts. So far, no lost characters except my Avatar on Chapter 4, which prompted a mandatory restart of course.

So I find Sully to be awesome and her
. Any suggestions on making them awesome battle wise? Husband, classes, etc?
daughter looks awesome as well
Yea that's where I was considering dropping to Normal. Wind and archery destroy dragons so you can try luring them out with sword users, then using other units to finish them off.
I'm currently banging my head against the wall Paralogue 2, trying to get to the village before Anna dies or an enemy unit gets there. It just seems like I'm always 1 turn too late.
Oh right.
2 more months, dammit.
Sully's

Don't worry about Anna dying in Paralogue 2. You recruit her in Paralogue 4.

Ugh, 1st moving boss-range just ate the slowly becoming not-terrible Donnel alive.
Welp.
And my fave quote on a 1-stat level so far has to be Mirabelle's "this is completely unacceptable", lol.
Pairing seems to be really not as good for actually spreading xp unless the activation rank is high due to support levels. I've mainly been using it to make Donnel able to kill things, but i'm still weakening them so much that the dual strike doesn't even have a chance to activate, lol.
Edit: oh, and my first spot-pass is a level 20 or something Nergal with a band of presumably 2nd tier baddies. Thanks but no thanks >_>.

Sorry I'm in the wild on my phone trying to find this thing.
No excuses though I should have checked

Thank goodness for Best Buy. It took 3 guys to look in the back for this game but they pulled through. :3
Yes! It's my favorite game in the series, barring maybe this one.

If anyone was wondering, I went and picked up a copy. They had 4 of them counting the display one. That was at 2pm. So it was accurate for me, your mileage may vary.If you guys are looking for it, check Target. Before the stores opened all of them said out of stock for me, but now that they are open, about the 10 closet stores say its in stock.

I went early this afternoon after checking the Target website for in-stock locations, and they didn't even have them out. The guy went in back and found them.

Don't think of it as a 'canonical' name, because it's really not, in the usual sense. It's more like 'the name we give you if you can't think of anything better'. The official name for them is 'Avatar'.

Wow hard is actually pretty fucking hard. I'll have to play super conservatively.
Normal is already kicking my butt on chapter four. I take back anything I said about no restart, can't imagine going on with half my dudes. Game is so polished though that restarting is a welcome way to learning new things and getting to savor the uniqueness of each level. Haven't played a game this demanding for years and I'm loving it.

Heard that is is separate. So some stores probably already have the artbook but not the game.
The artbook comes stand-alone and not packaged with the game [ala Xenoblade Chronicles].

I feel great shame setting the difficulty back to normal.

The difficulty levels are the same as in the Japanese version. Casual mode is also in the Japanese version.

Well shit, after checking 4 gamestops and a best buy, the one place I didn't expect to have it has it in stock.
Is the artbook worth it? If not, I'll just cancel my GS pre-order and get a copy at target tomorrow.
Nah, the names for the difficulties were kept the same. They had casual too I think.

Just had my first casualty in Chapter 5...
Ricken noooooooooooo ;_; Oh well you did disobey orders so you kinda got what was coming. He got 2 hit by a Myrmidon though
As much as I want to start over, doing this Nuzlocke style so I have to resist.

You could have Ricken and Maribelle pair up, and use a rescue staff to bring them closer to you if you have one.

I cancelled my pre-order and went digital.
I'm a weak person. Worst part is that I decided to buy a bigger SD card at the same time because "why the hell not" making it overall a more expensive decision...

Ricken's already gone though, that's the sad thing. If Chrom didn't miss hitting a bandit everything would've been perfectly fine.
The RNG is truly something else sometimes. There are times though when a similar situation happens where there may be a unit far from your team's protection. The rescue staff is the key for times like those.
I'm pretty sure the growths in this game are better than the others. Though I never follow the charts.
