So much money in Canadian. @_@

FE4 had doubling tied to a skill, it is without question the worst use of skills in the series.

I personally love Fates' skills, all the stat debuffs adds an interesting layer to strategy as well as things like lunge and post-battle damage and passive buffs. Personal skills are a wonderful idea too. I'd like to see some scrolls of the class skill placed throughout the game like with FE9/10, but otherwise I think gaining skills through levelup and having a hard limit of five class skills is pretty much perfect.

Conquest goes way overboard with bullshit skill combos at the end, 3-range lunge, 3-range with 40% chip just from engaging in combat, goddamn 5-range lunge

I'd agree that prior to chapter 25, the game plays mostly fair though (aside from some bullshit throne bosses/Siegbert's paralogue)

CD Japan, it's been posted in the Fire Emblem OST thread in Gaming.

Fire Emblem has had so many threads now.

ah, i'll just wait for amiami to put it up just so i can bundle it with an existing order that month

at least pre-orders are going up

 

[Draxal]

Amiami likes to sell out instantly for stuff like that when i'm not around.

I'll have to see for myself once I get to that point, sounds crazy though.

I'll probably be able to forgive a few maps of ridiculous skills when I'm enjoying the rest of the game.

my backup is amazon.jp

but i just made an order from there and i want to build up stuff before making another one

I feel so old news here talking about Awakening but I'm really loving the game. I recently took the time to start raising my child units and it's ridiculous how good they are. Similar stats to the parents with like 10-15 levels less lol.

Also, Cynthia's support conversations with Lucina (as sisters) are great. They aren't the typical funny support you see in Awakening so they really stand out.

Awakening, what's that, some Fates prototype? /s

Robin transforming into a shounen protagonist

 

[Draxal]

I mean he kinda was one already, but that hair is lol.

still not as edgy as Wrys

 

[Lunar15]

All FE protags are shonen protagonists. They make friends, put in a hard effort, and achieve victory.

 

[Draxal]

Man, listening to the 25th Anniv DVD again, it really is a must listen (you can youtube it).

 

[Renewed]

Oh yeah and (for the sake of someone that's playing Awakening)

Spoiler

power of friendship prevents Robin from dying, oh man it's all there

Ha ha ha, yes

I mean it had a cipher card ... (so I got it a while back ).

Speaking of cipher cards, got all the series 1 and 2 markers cards. Honestly, they look so much nicer than the normal cards.

So I'm on the endgame of FE4, and Seliph is just destroying everything. His stats are pretty good.

HP - 67
Str - 25+5
Mgc - 4
Skl - 22+15
Spd - 21+15
Lck - 27
Def - 18+5
Res - 15+20

That's a lot of rings.

I don't even have a barrier ring.

 

[Xbro]

And just finished the game. That was very good. I'll start Tharcia 776 next week during spring break.

 

[Renewed]

Who's gonna spend money on the child sprite badges? I'm really tempted to...

shit I got 4 plays from the training centre, make or break time.

I missed Ophelia... RIP

 

[TriForce Hero]

I like childrens, if they do like FE4 ou Agarest Wars.

But changing half of your army in the middle of the game can be a letdown. Missing your fave characters. Or 70% of your army is from an "imortal" race >_>.

I've just seen that new progress is being made on Fire Emblem 3 and 4 translations . The Project Naga guys have posted a demo video of a new translation patch here: http://bookofholsety.tumblr.com/tagged/project-naga
and the guy doing the Mystery of the Emblem translation has posted he will continue working on the patch here:
http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=49096&page=4
Maybe I will be able to get the remaining Fire Emblems (the SNES ones) as worthy Repros some day afterall . I can live with some wonky translations of parts of the games, but I really want my SNES games to be fully functional and to have every important thing (so in particular the fighting) translated.

 

[theprodigy]

my god, can't someone just hack Fates and figure out what it actually uses to roll hit

 

[Lusankya]

I hope they aren't still using two dice for that.

 

[theprodigy]

I hope they aren't still using two dice for that.

2 RN exists entirely because people think 95%=100% and 10%=0%, so might as well skew it towards that

you think the complaining about low hits hitting/high hits missing is bad now, imagine if Fates used pure 1 RN (it doesn't, we can see that much at least)

will probably spend till I get them all again

just like the first round of badges

 

[theprodigy]

lol how much have you guys spent on badges

proud to say I've spent $0

 

[Renewed]

I bought my first 5 plays today so I could get Ophelia and finish the set with Soleil/Velouria. I'll see how the next few days go with practice badges and if I can get 5 plays again through it.

 

[dakkumauji]

lol how much have you guys spent on badges

proud to say I've spent $0

so far like $5 dollars just to get the first set

probably will do the same for the new set

only spent money on FE badges

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

lol how much have you guys spent on badges

I think 1 dollar, then I forgot to even check in for free plays because I was busy actually playing Fates.

I thought you meant the $$$ real life tin/can badges then.

Nothing, but I did pay to snag Valentine Ashley during a hard time (no Internet at home).

 

[DecoReturns]

I never even downloaded Nintendo arcade game

Does getting the Fates soundtrack count for that?

 

[Busaiku]

Fates in the US will probably do like 2x better than if.
And we still have no say in DLC.

 

[dakkumauji]

only took about 30 tries to get all the new badges
did absolutely terrible in the bomb one with one badge remaining

 

[theprodigy]

Ha, I knew Conquest would be much closer to Birthright in the US!

 

[Busaiku]

Conquest probably outsold Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn.
