Wait, if you promote a unit it might miss out skills? I promoted Lissa because she needs to do something else other than healing!

Only for the battle quotes. "DON'T MESS WITH A BUNNY!"
"PICK A GOD AND PRAY" Favorite Battle Quote so far.
Ah thanks hmm that's interestingI'm askin for opinions because I'm not sure if he's worth training or not so far I'm reading that he's amazing but my friends saying he was a waste of time :/ descisons
Well he has that skill that adds 20% to all stat-ups, so typically he gains every single stat on level-up. Plus the armsthrift lets him use weapons without using them up, as it has a luck*2 chance, and currently his luck for me at that level is about 42, if i pair him up with someone, he has close to 100% chance to not use up a weapon when attacking.

Oh hell yeah, every time. Usually they're awesome (particularly in this game, where you can have two of your characters just absolutely wail on a tough enemy, even better when the last hit is a critical) and they add to the suspense of how a battle is going to play out. Probably because of the permadeath thing - in comparison, I very quickly lose interest in the animations in the Advance War games because it's just a bunch of generic units.
You would be missing out to play with them entirely off. I just use animations on my turn, it's nice that it's an option. Still get to see cool shit, but game speed is still fast.

I've promtoed my Lissa to a Sage, and I really like how her battle model is updated in the intermission scenes. It's basically an alternate costume feature too. Too bad the CG doesn't change though...
Kind of. Unpromoted classes gain skills at 1st and 10th level, promoted ones at 5th and 15th, and special ones (like Manakete) at 1st and 15th. So, you'll never miss the skills of unpromoted classes, but you can miss skills of promoted classes or special ones if you class change too early.

I tend to fast forward through the battle animations now. I love them a lot, but nothing will be the same as the FE7 battles. :'(
There is one hilarious line about tenure that Vaike made in a battle, I'm pretty sure. I just wish I could remember it.

3d is pretty awesome actually and there is one piece of dlc out right now

There's one piece of DLC out that is free til March.
Go 100% 3D. Every element of 3D is fantastic on this game, from the glorious animated cut scenes to the battle animations, even the talking head stuff looks good in 3D. I was particularly impressed by the effect on the map screen; there's a map that I was playing earlier (chapter 7 I think) where the map has cliffs with a deep ravine at the bottom. Looked amazing with the little unit sprites flying above it. Ironically I didn't expect Fire Emblem of all things to be a showcase of the 3D screen.
Kinda.

I'm pretty conservative about 3D on the system. I used it in Mario 3D Land because it looks amazing, but pretty much never in Mario Kart or Resident Evil because it either didn't really provide anything or made the game look worse(RE).
However, I've played with it on the whole time in FE. It doesn't make the difference it does in Mario, but it's really well implemented and looks great. I dig it.

The text looks like shit with 3d off IMO.
How does barrack work? When do new events happen?
How does barrack work? When do new events happen?
Oh YES. Full 3D is excellent in this game. In Ch. 4, in the battle arena, check out the edges of the map -- the raised partitions literally rise out of the screen, so that you feel like you can reach in and touch the spectators, or the braziers with their fires aglow. Really made it feel like your men were duking it out in the bowels of a coliseum. Subtle, but incredibly effective -- a very organic pop-out storybook look.

What is this asset/flaw thing when making a new character?
You're assigning what two main stats your character will be strong and weak in.
Thats the basic way of saying it

Hey so if I second-seal a dude, like turn a swordsman into a mage or something, does he LOSE the ability to use swords? Or do you keep your weapon affinities from past classes?
I'm thinking about all these third classes for people and I guess I'm thinking is there an ideal "last class" for a guy to be on, or do the classes not actually have any bearing on anything beyond your growth, and as long as you grew in what you wanted, you're safe to switch to anything else.

If you class change a Swordmaster to a Sage, he won't be able to wield swords as a Sage, but his ranking will go back to normal if you class change him to any sword wielding class. In that case, if it's an option to the character, something like Dark Knight, which can use magic and swords, likely would work better, because you'd keep the sword and get magic on top of that.
Also, one of the biggest reasons to change classes, rather than just promote, is to get new skills, the special abilities of each class. I've class changed my Prince Marth from Lodestar to Myrmidon and eventually will promote him to Swordmaster to give him the class skills from those classes (because Lodestar doesn't have any skills of its own, aside from Marth's initial ones) - even though when I did that his stats dropped by quite a bit due to Lodestar having stat bonuses comparable to the stronger promoted classes, while Myrmidon's are much lower. After I''ve gotten the Swordmaster skills, I'll class change him back to Lodestar.

Forgive the remedial question but on the map screen where I can presumably buy items at each location, when I land on a spot, the bottom screen displays certain items I can buy.
I have the little green "parley" men at most of these locations.
When I enter to buy what was previously displayed on the lower screen, I must infact interact with the green parley team who seem to be selling something entirely different.
Can anyone clear this hopefully small misunderstanding I'm having with the game. Thanks

Those are Annas. Anna merchants randomly appear on the map, they will always sell what the shop at the location was selling previously, but will frequently add common weapons at a reduced price or rarer items (like Master Seals or more powerful spell tombs which both can be harder to come by at the early parts of the game), usually it's good to buy what they're offering if you have the gold because what they sell is rarely not worth it, and they disappear after you visit whether you buy or not. At least, in my experience.
EDIT: Also, SpotPass characters don't interact with the story. They don't have supports and they won't add anything to any events as far as I'm aware, you can fight with them (and they're typically very high level) and success means you get their team leader as a party member (who again, does not interact with the story) or you can parley with them, which basically means skipping over the fight and bringing the team leader into your own at a (very high) gold cost.

Who says this? Sounds pretty badass.
You can recruit them if you beat them or pay up, but none of them have any bearing on the story.
Frederick, one of the many reasons he is one of the best Awakening characters (before anyone skewers me, I mean in the sense of, well, character).
I'm very fond of Tharja's "you're already dead", though. I highly doubt it's a deliberate reference, but it always gets me grinning a bit.
Can Anna join my party, and have supports, get married, etc?
Ah, OK. Also, if I forget to get the new DLC character one day, I can simply download him/her another day, right? Kind of like the extra puzzles in Professor Layton and Miracle Mask?

Well this is... strange. A merchant and a Risen squad spawned on the same map, and when I engage the Risen, there's the merchant sitting there with an Iron Lance. Do I get anything nice for saving her, or can I just let this one go.
Also a big middle finger to two of the Villagers in Paralogue three. I work my hide to save your sorry butts and I you repay me with a log and a frying pan? Really? At least the third guy gave me an Angelic Robe.

Anna can definitely join your party, as my S-Rank with her can attest. Although the Avatar is the only one she can marry/have kids with (she only has two supports!). It is not the same Anna, they have this Nurse Joy thing going on where they're all twin sisters with the same name and the same profession, spread across the lands.

Out of curiosity, what are the consequences of letting Anna die in paralogue 2?
Yeah. Nothing is ever lost for good, so don't worry if you find yourself not playing the game for a while; it'll all still be there.
If you save them, you get to use their shop. Not only that, but they'll also give you a random item for saving them, and it's sometimes something good like a stat booster or Brave weapon.

You can hire them for gold, fight against them, and afterwards they'll join you for free if you win, or you can basically use them as shops and buy any standard items that their troops carry. There's also an option to send them away without doing anything, or leaving, but let them stay on the map.
The legacy characters aren't really integrated into the story. The "Bonus teams" characters have three unique lines (greeting - when you meet them initially; fighting is used if you engage them in combat, finally a line for joining your army which is used after you hire them or choose to let them join you after beating them) and that's it. The legacy groups also can be mixed with monster skirmishes, which result in a skirmish with several green allied units fighting together agains the monsters and some different lnies from Chrom and Frederick.
DLC characters have more lines in the DLC itself, and an actual explanation for them joining your team, but they also have no lines in the main Awakening story. I recruited Pr. Marth before Masked Marth's identity was revealed, and yet there wasn't any interaction between them in the chapter where Chrom defends Ylisse castle. Of course, say, if you face a boss he'll still say his generic combat line, but he won't have anything specific to say to the character itself.
That can also happen with legacy groups, I had a monster spawing right in the spot where Florina's group was sitting once, and when I went there, there were the usual monsters + Florina's group as green units. Not sure if there's any bonus for clearing that though, due to npc Florina quickly dying there. There was just a message from Frederick saying that their msterious allies had vanished after the battle, but I guess that might have happened due to Florina herself dying.
I was sure that it'd have some major repercussion in recruiting her later (as I was under the impression they were one and the same), but apparently, as they're all different Annas, it has no bearing on later recruiting the other Anna. Your reward for beating the Paralogue is a discount at the shops (or maybe just that one instance?), though, so I think it's worth it to try and save her.

Oh, I tried all right. I've whined about it a few times between last night and today but I finally manged to pull it off. I'm glad there is at least a decent benefit for it. Thanks for the answer!
