It's okay, just not what was advertised to me.
Also, lissa x maribelle OTP?
edit: argh, goddamn counters.
Is lunatic making this weirdly hard or should I just not be doing this now?
I am definitely thinking of,getting a 3ds for this game. Wow at that fred and cordelia support. Lulz I can picture that whole scene. The only ones ive watched are most of Sully's, I guess my future waifu heh, but her support with MU was pretty silly but atleast she isnt one dimensional from the supports ive seen.
and for the skills, do the characters learn them or are they found like other items? Iirc, in fe9 you could find skills and some characters also came with a skill.

They learn them at certain levels. 2 unique skills per class.

Man, and I was hoping it would just be goofy fun times support convos.
I might go back to it once I've got enough magic users.
I love the game! I spent 20 hours on it on the past 5 days which is more than what I ever did on the 3DS. My only complaint is that there are too many people to chose from, I don't want to sub anyone D: how do you guys manage this?
Also, what happens when you're done with the main story? Is there more content beside DLC?

I've never been able to get through more than a couple of hours with previous Fire Emblem games.
But holy shit, this game is fucking incredible.

Apparently Summer Scramble is a lot less annoying.

So I finished chapter 3 and I think I missed Kellam. Do I need to restart from the beginning?
Using 2 save slots from now on.

Counter is the reason why bow using classes are still useful in this game. You'll never suffer a counter when you use a bow.
Aaaannnnnd done! (normal+classic)
I managed to keep everyone alive until the last battle, but Cherche and Henry bit the dust because of a few careless moves on my part. Oh well. I also thought
had to be the one dealing the final blow in the actual fight, not just in a cutscene, which kind of completed things for me towards the end.
Overall my biggest problem with the game was how I wasn't sure in which map reinforcements were infinite and in which ones they were limited in numbers. But other than that and the predictable storyline it was very enjoyable. Made me feel like going back to Tactics Ogre on PSP to finish it.

Ignoring the fact that the levels are much higher and all of the fucking sand, yeah it is. Really, I'd rather deal with those guys than the Miracle+Counter zombies.

The main issue is that Cordelia's unrequited love for Chrom can only be directly mentioned and addressed in S supports, due to the possibility of her already being in love and married to someone else by the time you get her supports.
Every time her romantic interest in someone is mentioned before the S supports, that person's name is never said due to the possibility that she isn't in love with Chrom anymore. Only some DLC convos (like her battle conversation with Katria) kind of break that and bring up unrequited crush directly outside of S supports.
That's why you pair her with my boy Lon'qu. There S support is rather good (at the end it seems like they cure each others "problem" too. It could be that I'm biased towards that pairing though.). For me I can only stick Cordelia in certain pairings cause some of them just don't work for me. It's going to be rough to get all supports (I'll have to fight off the urge)

So, is it fair to say if gay marriage was an option in Awakening Lon'qu would be the majority's choice to get gay married?

Maybe I'm a bad person, but I find Severa intolerable. They could have written a character who had Mommy issues a little better than as an angry 5 year old in an adult's body, but I guess there was some trope they were after. Fact is, she whines more about her Mom saying Chrom than her Mom ever actually says Chrom. It sucks because she's a strong character with fun animations that I like to use. Cordelia is a better character, and I thought her hookup with Gaius in my game was nice.
Antiwhippy

Probably.
Henry is my husbando though.
Also man, how many copies of "how to make him fall in love with you" does Cordelia have?

She's the worst character in the game. Absolutely awful.
Gameplay-wise she is great though. Why couldn't a crappier character get stuck with her garbage tsundere personality.
Probably Chrom and Frederick.
You have destroyed any possible bonds that could have been forged between us.

Severa's pretty much the definition of tsundere, can't expect everyone to like her.

I'd let Severa call me B-Baka... anyday.

Tsunderes are pretty boring as far as anime cliches go.
I'll have to unlock severa first to see how they handle her.

I need to put this game down. It stimulates that, "There's still more to do, damn it!" part of my brain. Coming off Monster Hunter, I don't think my body can handle it

What's an easy way to grind lower leveled characters? I want to level up Miriel but the poor girl's gonna die out there.
I'm at Chapter 18, I think.

Use reeking boxes at low chapter spots on the world map.

This is a great time to start a fire! ....Campfires I mean.
The Frederick/Cordelia talk reminded me of this pic

Poor Severa with her Chrom obsessed parents.
Also let's take a moment to appreciate the little Owain's Bizarre Adventure thing there.
Haha, pretty cute. Disgraceful that Donnel married Lissa but that's about it.
Or Gaius. Or Owain. Or Nightwing.
Severa just needs to be more dere. She's too tsun-tsun.

I like how Sumia starts off as such a useless unit. She couldn't deal any damage, and she couldn't take any damage, so her movement range wasn't that helpful. I basically just brought her along on missions so she could steal kills from the units doing the actual work.
I played Chapter 9 last night after promoting her to a Dark Flier, and she was taking on whole groups of enemies without even getting hit. She's my new Frederick in that she's so deadly I have to be careful not to let her be my vanguard unit now, since she's likely to kill almost every unit that attacks her in her counterattack and soak up all of the XP.

Why didn't I use my headphones sooner? The tinny little 3DS speakers do the soundtrack no justice.
14 hours and 11 chapters in and I finally married my bunny-boiler stalker. Oh Tharja, you so crazy!

The fast forward really helps here, shame it couldn't be on by default.
I like how speaker mode exists and is on by default. But Theatrhythm made me sure headphones were the only way to go with 3DS.
Sorry if this has been asked 100 times:
I haven't played Fire Emblem Awakening in a couple months, and since then an assload of DLC has been released. Which pieces/bundles are worth buying? I don't really want to spend $30-40 on everything I'm missing (I currently have the 3 map bundle with Marth, and the 3 map gold/exp/weapons bundle).

You want Lost Bloodlines 2 and Smash Brethren 2.

Also the Scramble pack for conversations and easy seeds of trust to speed up support grinding + it having like 10 shiny tiles minimum in every map.
But that's not Kin...oh....oh....oh

That happened to me while grinding Rogues and Redeemers 3 yesterday. Owain decided to not dodge anything, but get constant criticals and astra procs to make sure more enemies could attack him.
And speaking of animations I've had them off pretty much the entire time I've played this game. Turned them off after the prologue on my first playthrough. Had them on for a few chapters for the second.
