Isn't there already a pack out with the DLC one included?
Staggered releases. The first maps of the first three packs are live, but the rest of the maps aren't up yet and the rest of the packs aren't either.
Sure. I think she default inherits
Aether from Chrom, and she'll take the last active skill from her mother.

Lucina is so awesome in that she also gets Rightful King automatically.
I thought she was somehow exempt from this (from the mother, at least). Well, what's the best skill Olivia can pass down? I'm thinking Galeforce (but se can learn this naturally, if I'm not mistaken) or Luck+4 (Dancer exclusive skill).

In my opinion, any + skills are rendered moot due to Limit Breaker. Sure you can still pair it up with Limit Breaker for more bonus but then again you must sacrifice a spot you can use for awesome stuff like Galeforce, Rightful King, Pavise, Aegis, etc etc.
Right. I'll probably pass down Galeforce as I won't have to make her go through the Pegasus classes then

Decided to pair the avatar with Tharja, but now I've got Noire and I have absolutely no idea what to do with her. Any suggestions for class/skill set that'd suit her stats?
I re-classed my Noire into a Troubadour (not really my brightest idea) then into a Walkyrie, and she's quite good.
In any case, she will turn out fine thanks to her parents.
Dark Knight, if you didn't learn Life Taker yet. You will lose access to black magic though.

Uhh... Exponential growth IS out for Europe.. I've played it several times already.
We have Golden Gaffe, Exponential Growth, Champions of Yore 1/2 and Harvest Scramble downloadable right now.
wat
but Anna is all 'map not ready' when i try and play it. Do I need to download it again through the shop or something?
I mean, I clearly own it,I just assumed the map would d/l automatically when it became available like spotpass teams do...
So my copy arrived earlier in the week but I haven't had time to sit down and play it until earlier tonight after work. Two things: I had originally skipped the demo because a) I buy and play Fire Emblem regardless, and b) I didn't need a demo to whet my appetite or convince me otherwise. I had also avoided most, if not all, media before its PAL release. All I had known prior to this was how the game looked & the general artistic design of the characters, how battles might operate this time around, and the fact that DLC was being released for it.
My first impression is that it's good to be back home. After skipping the remakes of Shadow Dragon and Mystery of the Emblem, it's been practically 5 years since a new Fire Emblem was released. The familiar Fire Emblem theme trouncing through for a personally traditional full-length playthrough - it sounds just a tad more powerful than what I recall and to me that is a good thing. No need for a greater reminder of how incredible this series can be.
My second impression is that the music is off the chart. No offense to Tsujiyoko as she has always been a solid stalwart for Fire Emblem, but holy hell. Every single scenario and moment has been met with a glorious tune within the first 2hrs of my playing time to the point where I will let a conversation sit so I can hear the song repeat itself. I had read earlier this year that someone called Rei Kondoh did some of the compositions, and checking his history at the time a lot of his work was tied to Capcom games that I either didn't bother playing or never played enough of (Okami). The other person in the composition chair was a rookie by the name of Hiroki Morishita who helped with Paper Mario: Sticker Star and is within the ranks of Int Sys themselves. Judging by the adoration the score has received elsewhere while snooping through earlier impressions tonight, it seems that Nintendo have snagged themselves another Mahito Yokota. And what a franchise to reveal his potential on.
My third impression is that this Fire Emblem seems to be slowly breaking away from the clear divide between handheld and console FE. It feels more "full" than past efforts of Fire Emblem on the portables, but so far it hasn't hit the same stride that was clearly felt in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn - however this could completely change since I'm not even beyond chapter 5 yet. Heck, my full judgement on this is entirely reserved for the time being. Just letting that inclination of a thought out there.
Overall I'm enjoying the game so far and I hope to feel completely fulfilled by the time the journey has ended.
P.S. classic mode forever, despite almost chewing my tongue off when Lissa was reduced to 1HP in chapter 4 because I became overzealous.

Yeah, you need to go to the shop and it will download it for you
Spotpass failing to update is really something that gets on my nerves... I've tried to update it a whole week each day to no avail, and then decided to desactivate and reactivate it in-game, and *poof*! I went from having 3 characters from The Sacred Stones to having the full roster, Elincia from PoR, and unlocked the extra paralogue map.
Well Lancebreaker gives you some protection against Beastkiller should you make her son a Taguel too.
Lancebreaker (Beastkiller lances) Or deliverer.
Think he will always have that weakness even if he switches classes.

Lancebreaker is the best for immediate use, but it doesn't really matter since she has no access to gender exclusive skills.

He actually does if his father is Lon'qu, Frederick or Virion.

That's not gender exclusive, it's just a weird exception to the rule. You can work around it too.

I know somebody asked for this image. I've PM'd the image to the person, but I figured I'd share it with other people who are interested...

Another silly question: out of Kjelle and Nah, who needs Galeforce the least? I'm planning to have them end up in General (perhaps Great Knight) and Manakete.
Everything Henry does is hilarious.

In this case it kinda is, because Gregor/Panne is worth it.

That is particular nasty, but just remember all the Level 30 Entombed have Counter. I do slip up occasionally and forget some have Miracle as well as Counter >___<
Miracle makes it a pain. Counter is manageable.

If it's not on the list, it hasn't been announced yet.
You can't actually pass down Special Dance, even if it's the only skill Olivia knows.

I see...
So uhm, should I just buy all of the DLC?
Champions pack seems so-so, but the big ass discount might make it okay.
