Support NeoGAF

[Laughing Banana]

I am such a moron. Without thinking I saved prefight when fighting a summoned team. That team is severely over-leveled against my team. Just saw level 8 and did not think about that sword master is actually the leveled class...

To make things really good, my other save is 7 hours back. Ughh...

Just... back out from the map

The folks in IS and Nintendo are so nice, aren't they, hahaha.

 

[zroid]

Haha. Yeah, you can go back to the map at any time before you actually engage.

 

[PuppetSlave]

Haha, oh wow, can't believe I did not notice a big red button named exit.

Thanks!

 

[Laughing Banana]

Damn it Zeer0id, looking at your avatar makes me less patient in waiting for the Bonds DLC.

Hmmm... a blushing Lucina as your avatar.... Lucina is the avatar... Lucina and Avatar.

Awesome.

Sorry for Gunloc and Kincaido, yours is truly the best Fire Emblem related avatar I have seen <3

 

[zroid]

 

[ohlawd]

Knew I was forgetting the last piece of the puzzle. Zeer had the Lucina yukata avatar.

 

[Kincaido]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Mine is the best in my eyes =P

BTW, someone needs that Severa avatar.

 

[dakkumauji]

Well, I did have the Owain avatar, but I'm too fond of my current one to change.

Totally not because I'm lazy, no sir.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Yay, done with my waifu.

 

[XeroSauce]

Yay, done with my waifu.

Did you give her a Bouquet just for the hell of it?

 

[Gvaz]

Has this comic been posted before? If so, my apologies in advance...



Makes me wonder about some of you sometimes...

NO GOD DAMNIT BUCKLEY

 

[dakkumauji]

Slight future DLC map spoilers but I like the silly things that happens in battle.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Did you give her a Bouquet just for the hell of it?

Yes, just to fill her inventory with something beautiful.

 

[The Awesomest]

For Nowi? Probably Focus, the Breaker skills (sword/lance), and Lifetaker.

Quick question: If you use a Brave Weapon, and actually manage to get 4 hits in on one turn, does it count as 4 uses or 2?

If Awakening goes by the precedent set in previous FEs, it counts as four uses. Astra doesn't, though I don't know if that also applies to the Astra bow.

 

[publicpwnerer]

My copy arrived today!

I was disappointed to see that the case had a two-page leaflet for the game...and the rest was packed with advertising. Not sure if I got a re-sealed copy, or if all the PAL / NTSC copies had an underwhelming leaflet too?

 

[Spike]

What are the best classes for each of the characters? I've master sealed Robin, Chrom, Sumia, and Lyssa, but what about the others? What is the best balance for the rest of the line up?

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

ive had this game since launch and still not played it. waaaa

All Nintendo games on 3DS have been like that, the real manual is an option in the home menu instead.

 

[CorvoSol]

How much does the Beach Episode DLC cost?

Depends on what you are aiming for in terms of partners, children etc.

Here's a Serene Forest link to Max Stats for each character if you wanna look at end game classes.

 

[Laughing Banana]

How much does the Beach Episode DLC cost?

Does not matter.

BUY THEM ALL

 

[publicpwnerer]

Does not matter.

BUY THEM ALL

Does the DLC work like digital games....saved to the device, or the SD card?

 

[SolarKnight]

Does the DLC work like digital games....saved to the device, or the SD card?

SD card but only usable on that device, however, any copy of the game can use it.

 

[CorvoSol]

Does not matter.

BUY THEM ALL

I don't have money for that.

 

[The Awesomest]

Can't help but think some ballistas would have made a few of these maps a bit more interesting.

 

[Laughing Banana]

I don't have money for that.

Hahaha I was just saying in it a jest.

In Japan it was 200 yen. Probably around 3 dollars each.

 

[Aexact]

Can't help but think some ballistas would have made a few of these maps a bit more interesting.

Would've also served the dual purpose of making the archers suck a little less.

 

[Laughing Banana]

It would be difficult for Nintendo to top the song for the final battle.

HOT DAMN

 

[Jintor]

Man I streetpassed some random with terrible stats... unfortunately they all somehow had monster equipment and murdered my scout :<

 

[blu]

Does not matter.

BUY THEM ALL

Apropos, which DLCs have character design most consistent with the main game? I'm talking strictly of appearances here.

 

[ZombieFred]

Man, so many units acquired and I am only just done chapter 9. I want to level my other low level units but they are kind of weak and would easily get killed if not careful on the random conquests that are now appearing. What's the best way to get these guys leveled up since I want Don the farm boy to become awesome?

 

[Kincaido]

Apropos, which DLCs have character design most consistent with the main game? I'm talking strictly of appearances here.

The last one that has Katarina is drawn by the Awakening artist.

 

[Bradach]

I'm thinking about picking this up today. I've never tried a Fire Emblem game though. I've read that you can choose perma death at the beginning of the game but what happens if the main character dies in battle? How does that effect the story?

 

[Hours Left]

Apropos, which DLCs have character design most consistent with the main game? I'm talking strictly of appearances here.

All the DLC legacy characters are just generic unit bodies with avatar heads made to look as close as they can to their actual appearance. (Many of these miss the mark spectacularly.)

The only thing that really indicates their true appearance is their portrait art. Most have their original artwork for their respective games. A few (the ones earned in the paid DLC) have new artwork from various artists. These are very hit or miss.

The only one that looks like the rest of the Awakening cast in style is Katarina, because her artwork was done by the same artist. You get her from the final paid DLC, which hasn't been released anywhere yet except for Japan.

Game over.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Dat feel of getting down to the last unit, but then got a unit killed because of a miscalculation.

At least chapter 12 is easy, even on hard. Sending donnel to a chokepoint with an armourslayer and watching him bring down one-third of the enemy army as they rush to kill him is hliarious. HILARIOUS.

 

[Bradach]

Game over.

Back to the start? that's rough. Can you quickly turn off the 3DS or is it saved immediately?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Also man, the female mages have the best supports in the game. Mirial and Tharja are both hilarious.

 

[Sendou]

Back to the start? that's rough. Can you quickly turn off the 3DS or is it saved immediately?

Back to the start of the said chapter/mission/skirmish whatever. You can't really cheat by turning off the machine.

 

[m0t0k1]

So a lot of my characters have reached level 15, but I haven't promoted them yet. Should I do it now or should I wait and get those last 5 levels? Do they matter that much?


Kellam is seriously my favorite guy in this game. His dream is to be noticable, how can you not feel sorry for him with a dream like that

It truly is one beautiful dream. Also he has been blessed by the RNG gods in my game so i always take him with me.

 

[Jintor]

These supports are so fuckin' rad

just wish i didn't have to like draw a graph before every battle to figure out who sohuld be chilling with who...

Thanks.

So how ridiculously overpowered does one have to get to beat that DLC?

 

[Prax]

I died like 5 times on Chapter 23, I think. >___> (And by die, I mean one person got killed so I restarted lol).
I really am bad at planing for spawning reinforcements and dammit a thief with a silver bow doubled an unpaired Lissa after he popped out of the stairs instead of going for Sully on a Griffon who I am sure would have survived!

Welp.. maybe tomorrow.. ;____;
The game probably expects me to grind more or use more children characters. Weehh..


But in related news, some of my old Fire Emblem artwork will be featured in Gamespot's Artist Arcade http://www.gamespot.com/tags/artistarcade
at some point when they celebrate upcoming DLC! (Where I can get Priam and finally marry my MU off??? lol)

I will draw new stuff for the game and series in general when I finally finish it this thing.. XT

 

[McNum]

Back to the start? that's rough. Can you quickly turn off the 3DS or is it saved immediately?

Fire Emblem doesn't have an Ironman Mode like XCOM. You save manually. Game Over just throws you back to the main menu. Just reload and try again.

While Fire Emblem does have permadeath on Classic, a death isn't actually permanent until you've saved. And L+R+Start is soft reset.

 

[Oxx]

PS I'm really disappointed in the lack of gay partnership in this game. A bit of a missed opportunity I think. Especially since the game is already "adult" as it is. Would have also made excellent free publicity! Just allow the player to choose whether they value offspring or not lol

Sequel wishlist:

- Same-sex marriage
- Feet

 

[Hours Left]

Heh, my Robin and Chrom can auto grind Rogues & Redeemers 3 with zero effort. Limit Breaker for everyone

Spoiler

that I like

!

Sequel wishlist:

- Same-sex marriage
- Feet

Sounds good to me. I'd build a time machine just to get it sooner.

 

[Shahadan]

Same sex relationship won't happen, but there is a bit of that in the Hubba love test machine.
Chrom apparently totally wants my avatar's dick.

 

[Shahadan]

These supports are so fuckin' rad

just wish i didn't have to like draw a graph before every battle to figure out who sohuld be chilling with who...

Huh? you can view support during the preparation phase, or do you mean something else?

 

[Jintor]

Yeah but you can't view them in-battle which blows. I'm using my grinding time matching up C rank units so I can remember who to pair dudes with later

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yes you can, the ranks appear above their heads when you select a character.
