Sparkles are too racy for NoA/NoE :/

On another note - which Awakening characters should they use in the next Super Smash Brothers?

Chrom seems the obvious choice, but he's kinda average really.

They're prolly just gonna use Chrom, and maayyybee Lucina as a Marth alt. Marth, Ike and Chrom will be our main FE reps I imagine (though if we only get two reps, Ike's probably getting cut).

Good choice Nintendo.
FE has never been home to creepy fan service, and neither should it be. If you guys are so desperate to see anime ass, go to one of the many thousands of websites that deal in that shit. No need to ruin a classic series with it just to get one more sale from a basement dweller.

Soo, everyone who's disappointed that they unneedlessly censored something is a "basement dweller?" Yeah, okay then.

Having a little fanservice is hardly "ruining" a series anyway. It helps that Awakening is a great game too.

Okay folks, I finished my run on casual and now I'm starting classic. My Avatar was a kick-ass mage who ended up blowing everything away in his path. And I didn't even change his class from Grandmaster.

Now I'm starting a run in classic, and I'm making him a swordsman. Should I do this or keep him as a mage? I'm asking this because I heard that the Avatar was solid enough as a mage alone.

Avatar's good as pretty much anything you set him to be.

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking but you can basically change your Avatar's class to just about any class in the game using Second Seal. If you want to make a full-blooded swordsman you could consider making Magic your flaw. Tactician/Grandmaster is kind of hybrid class between melee and mage. It's also one of the best classes in the game.

 

[Kincaido]

Oh, KeasbyKnight's prude ass is here. Time to bail out everyone.

 

[The Awesomest]

Is there a trope for in-game characters telling me to go get some sleep, I've been playing for four hours straight? :/

Didn't Earthbound do that too? Maybe it's a Nintendo thing.

You couldn't in Sacred Stones. I had to restart the whole game once when I did that (yeah I'm know it's Sacred Stones)

I thought you could retreat in the middle of a skirmish in SS.

Tactician/Grandmaster is a sword/mage. He can do okay using swords in that class but if he brances out it would be better. However, if you wanted to branch out in magic you could have switched to other classes too.

 

[Anteo]

So I just got back home what did I miss guys?
*reads thread*
The hell....

 

[Javier]

Maybe my memory's off, but I don't believe you can.

You can, actually. Skirmish/Tower/Ruins are all "retretable" maps in FE8.

 

[Solune]

Gaius and Henry died on me early on...

Please tell me they are useless units, otherwise I'll regret not replaying those missions

Already been answered but just wanted to point out Gaius passes on Pegasus Knight to his daughter so children without that class are able to inherit it, which for Galeforce is invaluable.

Good to see some Maribelle fans. I figured I was the only one who likes her.

She's the tsundere ojou-sama but I like her and her JP VA.

 

[Chrom]

Oh, is that so? Doesn't sound wrong to me. I remember it definitely being the case with the Tower/Ruins but I rarely did skirmishes.

Cordelia seems nice enough. I paired her off with Gaius though

Currently I seem to be on team Tharja...

You gave her an acceptable man. I'm sorry your CG is censored =(

 

[Azure Phoenix]

So much for Walhart. Killed on the first turn by Severa/Cordelia double team abusing Galeforce.

 

[ffdgh]

Oh, you're one of those guys.

....Could always name robin chrom/sumia to keep things normal .

 

[GC|Simon]

...But you can ALWAYS return to the world map before the battle actually starts.

Oh, you are right. How could I overlook that button. As said before, Stahl is a loss. He just reached level 20, was pretty strong and used to be a great guy in general. Though, there are tons of great guys. I replaced him by Cynthia and she is quickly getting stronger. I use all three Pegasus girls in big battles and all are real beasts. They + Chrom destroy pretty much everything right now.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I don't think you can trigger other skills off an Astra hit, though. That'd just be crazy. Then again, this game...

Didn't check if already mentioned, in FE5 you can. Here was the world of fire emblem VHS tape showing us... Things to also note about that clip (FE5 mechanics stuff)

Spoiler

the other skill like continue and charge are why the battle goes on longer, you also see Sol and Luna activate on the same hit, the enemy unit has a sword that halves your attack hence why it survives such an onslaught

He's pretty much my boss slayer right now.

When he takes damage, it's fairly minimal. Emphasis on WHEN, cause he dodges everything ever in the entire world.

Don't forget he also has Sol...if you went down the Hero route anyway...

 

[Draxal]

Cordelia's conversation with Maribelle in the dlc is kinda amazing if you pair Sumia with Chrom. It's just like the ultimate, ouch moment for her.

 

[dakkumauji]

Chrom? Is that foreign? ...Ah, well. We can discuss it later. We're almost to town. Once we—

 

[Javier]

This is hilarious.

 

[Gregorn]

Ok this chapter 12, I made it to the boss with everything going perfectly on my first attempt, but then Tharja had to go and die. Now I can't seem to make it past the second round without anyone dying.

 

[NeonZ]

This has to be conditioning at this point. Did Champions of Yore 2, faced Ike. Even if my characters were much more powerful than him, I was still a little apprehensive about having to face Ike.

Also "Is this the one with Marth and Roy?" Yes. Now it is. I should have them pair up for the fun of it.

Although you can do that and use them just fine on normal and hard, if you ever attempt playing through lunatic or the post game DLC, you might want to always stick DLC/legacy characters in pairs where one of the units is able to use or learn Dual Support + (Valkyrie lvl 15 skill, but some units, like Shadow Dragon Pr. Marth know it by default), which gives them stat boosts comparable to a pair with A support levels (No extra dual strike chances though).

Still, DLC Prince Marth is basically hilariously overpowered for the main campaign (Donnel-like growths, but good bases and free skill selection), so anyone paired up with him should do well there.

I was just thinking of doing it once for novelty's sake, really.

And EXPonential Growth sure is an efficient way for stragglers to catch up... There's even foes for all levels of experience.

 

[Chrom]

I have to admit that I find the idea that it's someone's cape rather than some random curtain covering Tharja to be more funny.

 

[Zaventem]

I thought Nintendo were making strides.I don't understand this at all, it's a simple bikini.

I knew I was too happy with Nintendo lately.

Why would her character even wear a Bikini? I don't buy it!

If I hadn't had quickly looked up the necessary requirements for recruitment Gangrel would be dead...again, how dare you ignore my initial use of talk! So was Gangrel playing his side of the war in casual mode or something? I demand an explanation for his survival!

You know, if they made the 'cape' more purple, you could assume that it was your Avatar walking in on Tharja changing.

Does anyone else think it looks like Tharja is actually tied to that thing? It was brought up to me and now I can't unsee it.
