There's a dark tome that's pretty broken, but I don't think you'll be seeing that anytime soon. Dark Knight all the way! She's an amazing tank, who even uses magic.
After chapter 13.
It should have been Kellam!
Yeah I guess I'll promote her to Dark Knight to get all the skills, can switch to Sorcerer by the time I get the tome.
I know right?

Random question - if I switch to Japanese voices, there aren't subtitles during the cutscenes?
I just watched the intro and I have no idea if that's supposed to be the case or not. If so, that seems like a pretty significant oversight.

I might just so he can use bows.
My Tharja can't use Dark Magic anymore because she's a Dark Knight? What.

There are, they just need to be activated at the options menu ingame...which is still stupid tbh but at least not as stupid as forgetting to include them.

What combination of difficulty are you all playing on? ( How much FE have you played in the past?) Just so some of us can judge.
Don't overuse Frederick.

Only Dark Mages and Sorcerers can use dark magic. Don't ask why.
There is of course a skill that allows a character to use dark magic but only SpotPass and DLC characters have it.

I'm playing normal casual right now because i want to enjoy at least one playthrough without the stress of perma death. Still playing it like permadeath is on though. Keeping units together, not being careless, etc. I'll probably go through and play on Classic at least once.
And my FE experience is pretty minimal. I played Sacred Stones on the GBA but never finished it.

Just started on Classic Hard!
And have already gotten two level ups with just +1 to one stat. This is Fire Emblem alright.
I've have played and beaten the first eight Fire Emblem games ever released, up to The Sacred Stones. I haven't played Awakening yet, but Hard/Classic feels most comfortable to me based on my experience with the demo. I also beat the demo on Lunatic after a few tries, but if I wanted to play through the game at a normal pace, Hard fits like a glove for me.

Never played a FE game before. I beat it on normal classic. I'd recommend starting on hard since normal becomes a cakewalk.

At level 15, he learns a pretty decent skill that's Villager exclusive. Then, go ahead and reclass him.

Get him to 15 for his second villager skill.
Why? I haven't opened my copy yet but I'm curious.

Because Frederick doesn't need the exp, it's better to have all the other units get the kills until they catch up with him.

Normal/Classic, never played a FE game before, Awakening is my first.

And now I've got yet another question. I picked up a Second Seal and changed my Avatar to a Mercenary just to play around with it. Really enjoyed that class and I plan to eventually make him a Hero. My dilemma is that currently he's only level 11/12 as a Strategist. Should I go all the way to 20 as a Strategist then switch to Mercenary or just go ahead and do it?
I've also seen people making Donnel into a Mercenary as well, if I take that class what should I make him? I was thinking of making him into a Wyvern Rider if for no other reason then it'd make him look bad ass.

Characters are limited to one S rank, but can have as many A rank supports as characters they are allowed to support with.

They're unlimited excluding S-ranks (aka marriage), and I think you could say that to the other question.
Never promote at level 10. Always level to the max before promoting. That's an extra 10 levels of stat gains, so yes, there's a very real benefit.
Alright, thanks!

So, Libra is the Lucius of this game, huh

I... I think I just broke the game.
Actually don't listen to me. Things work really differently in this game than they normally do because of the way you can keep leveling forever by reclassing, and everyone ends up with max stats.

I can't wait for this set up.
She's physically incapable of expending a use of her stone+ and can solo mid-late game skirmishes, after like 20 minutes of curb-stomping Matthew. I don't think I'll ever be able to play hard mode again after the one-two punch of her and Donnel.
If I wanted to do that I would play on pansy ass mode

You gotta go back and save her.

That's not entirely true anymore, right? Now that you can reclass pretty much endlessly? I'm still a "wait till 20 to promote" kind of player, but I'm toying with the idea of promoting at the final skill from now on (10 or 15) since in theory this should work better...no?
