Didn't realize I was supposed to visit other castles for forging resources until yesterday. Not sure if I super dig that feature. Will make forging difficult if you go back to the game once the servers die.

Oh well, you do get mats that you can gamble in the arena for, so you'll be able to forge less, but probably more than enough to make it work over the course of a campaign.

So who's playing without animations.
I only turn them off if I reset like a bunch. And even then, I turn them back on if I get far enough.

I love that when you turn off the animations, the sprites have their own little animations you usually never get to see. The little dancer twirl, the little healer animation. It's a really nice touch. Didn't expect that.

 

[dakkumauji]

oh so that's how Lilith's growths work

(not that it really matters cause she eventually caps everything anyway)

i guess that makes sense why she hasn't been gaining any stats lately

(cause i keep spamming my castle instead of actually playing the game)

 

[PK Gaming]

Do you consistently level up Lilith? I've been doing it mostly after every mission, but it's getting tiring.

300 gold every 3 levels and it's not like there isn't enough food to go around, especially nice in Conquest!

Anyway, question about Mark from Fire Emblem 7, since the Awakening thread made me think about him.

I recall in a very old article that they added Mark to FE7 (along with the tutorial campaign) as they thought it would help sell the game in the west. But honestly, this might be by memory tricking me.

I always found it funny that they dropped him from the next four games, and Kris/Robin are thought of the first player inserts.

edit. Some Rev thoughts.

Takumi's actually kinda just there on this one, his being an ass isn't really present here.

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

Is Nyx supposed to be bad? From a glance after recruiting her she seems decent so long as she's given a pair up for +speed and 1-2 range seems all the more valuable.

yes she's bad, but at least she's usable enough in Conquest

Revelation trololololol

She can't hit shit unless she's rubbing up all over her target and good luck doing that with that hp and def

er... nevermind. I misread you. True story about the Morgan/Marc being a reference to Mark, though.

FE7 might be my favorite Fire Emblem and I forgot that Mark is even a thing.

 

[DecoReturns]

Mark is more of a My unit then Robin and Corrin.

Technically

Level 9 on lunatic must have been lol.

—Corrin marks the sixth Fire Emblem character to appear in Smash.

FESakurai: There are too many Fire Emblem characters! The decision to include Corrin was admittedly strategic, but I genuinely worried we might be adding too many characters from the series. That said, once the FE Fates developers shared their idea with me, I knew I could make Corrin into an interesting fighter. Their unique characteristic in Smash is their incredible reach, attacking from further away than anyone else. Even in the midst of a heated melee, Corrin can poke with their lance from afar and pierce opponents. They can transform one part of their body and extend it to hit opponents. I guess you could say they’re like Dhalsim… Well, maybe not quite (laughs).

http://www.sourcegaming.info/2016/02/23/nintendo-dream-interview-with-sakurai-part-2/

Corrin's Dhalsim boys.

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

I still will argue that Dhalsim was the second best armor knight in the series before Fates came out.

That sounds familiar, unless we're both deluded. Can't think of the source though, since it's been so long.

On the subject of back-dated pages, Fates's Lottery Shop

Does that align with people's experiences? I never really used it much.

 

[CazTGG]

Chapter 13 of Conquest is rather easy to abuse. I was able to level Mozu up enough via a wyvern that kept healing itself so she could change classes at level 20.

lol

I wonder what other non-moving/healing enemies there are in Conquest.

 

[yami4ct]

So, I finally had a perfect setup for Chapter 13 of Birthright after learning to not play that map like an idiot. Took like 15-20 minutes until I had cleared out all the bottom of the map and baited out the dragon knights so they wouldn't screw me when I took out Camilla. Set my archer up, got an expected miss, and then she counters with a 1% chance crit.

Dammit game. Why do you hate me?

 

[Draxal]

Severa got an SR as well.

.

Of the 12 SRs for this set, Severa,Lucina,Itsuki were shown. Marth and Tsubasa are definites as well (probably Tiki as well).

 

[theprodigy]

man it's hilarious how little damage the fail brigade of Xander/Leo's retainers do in chapter 17

even Setsuna was doing more damage last chapter!

I actually managed to get Odin a level up there. My Xander pairup just left the promoted units there with like 3-4 hp left each time. This was hard mode and not lunatic so it was probably alot worse there.

 

[Renewed]

Dunno how applicable this is to everyone (Canadian), but Roy amiibo preorders go up at EB Games today at 1PM EST. Also in-stores at the moment and allocations for my store were 6 (I was the last one).

I finished Sophie's paralogue yesterday by sticking a Beast Killer on Silas and sending him up north solo while everyone else worked on the enemies at the forts. I'm at the point where I need to start reclassing and promoting before it's too late (level 18).

 

[theprodigy]

I wonder when I should bother recruiting the kids in Conquest.

for weapon rank purposes I feel like I should wait until after they get Child Seals

 

[dakkumauji]

yeah, I'm aiming to wait until after they get the child seals before recruiting them

course that means more support grinding for the kids themselves but grinding's fun!

 

[Busaiku]

I imagine I could've finished Conquest by now if I turned off animations...
Seriously, this like tripled the length...

But I will not give in!

Why even keep animations on?

After like the 20th time seeing the same character doing the same animations it gets boring.

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

I do it so I can see combat values on enemy phase that I don't eant to calculate lol

Well and because I like them, it's cool and adds to the drama. I can skip them if it's taking too long.

 

[dakkumauji]

i leave them on while doing story

usually turn them off while grinding

 

[Ohnonono]

This game has gone from, maybe I will finish Conquest into gotta catch'em all. It is really cool that I get SO MUCH Fire Emblem.

Yeah but even if you see them on enemy phase it's kind of too late to do anything with that knowledge.

I turn on animations for new units/new classes and bosses but against generics? fuck that

You can pray to the RNG god.

It becomes valuable knowledge when I have to reset because I'm bad, though.

Or you could check all those calculations on player phase

that fun feeling of oh yeah, my squishy unit can survive a hit or two and i forget to take into account for enemy's attack stance wrecking them

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

I'm almost perma guard stance so not usually an issue, I'm more likely to forget that skills exist.

Also why does Peri get pants but Cavalier Corrin does not?

 

[Renewed]

Grinding support and weapon proficiency has come down to leaving Sakura near Lilith while I get everyone arranged and chuck projectiles. No EXP but now Azura's at C proficiency.

 

[Draxal]

25th Fire Emblem Anniv Dvd Get.

(Also two cipher guidebooks as well).

I got way too many Azura cards now.

edit.

Wow the Concert Director is really rocking that hair.

Oh they picked my favorite Fire Emblem song (Uprising in Agustria). ... It sounds glorious.

Do you have the Yusuke Kozaki Azura cards? You can't say you have too many until you have those two : P

The DVD is lovely as well. Everybody who loves Fire Emblem (music) should get it!

 

[yami4ct]

So are localization 'arguments' going to ruin every thread about Japanese developed games? Seeing that shit brought into Pokemon threads already is sort of heartbreaking.

Not like this guys. Please don't let this become a thing.

They're otw. The only one I'll be missing is her Black Sr card. And technically her Black and White SR+ but I really don't care about the autographs.

Anybody know how Birthright Lunatic compares to Conquest Hard?

 

[King Fost]

Anybody know how Birthright Lunatic compares to Conquest Hard?

It's easier.

Also having finished it, I have to say it's one of the most boring FE experiences I've had and I don't think I'll ever replay it. Conquest was more interesting in gameplay and in story, even if the writing there is technically worse, it has a more Ed Wood quality to it.

Saizo was pretty cool though, he was like a mini-Ryoma lategame and he had a much better personality and backstory.

 

[Weebos]

It's easier.

Really? Interesting, I'll have to jump to that then.

female corrin has a history of not wearing pants or shoes

 

[yami4ct]

nah, all Japanese developed games

Soon they will come for Atlus and XSEED. No one is safe.

That day is the day we nuke the internet. Humanity can't handle such power.

 

[dakkumauji]

american sakura is TOUGH

 

[PK Gaming]

american sakura is TOUGH

That Japanese player in general has some very interesting impressions about the english version.

Hard to understand what he's getting at, but google-fu provides a passable grasp at what he's trying to get at.

EDIT: It sounds like they dislike the English voice for Felicia, lol.

 

[theprodigy]

So...is there only one chest key in Chapter 9 Conquest?
