FE5 stuff:
Wait wait wait, so you're telling me that there are these scrolls -- items that boost people's growths on level-up merely by holding them rather than using them (i.e. making them tradable) -- and they stack? Wow, this sounds Completely Balanced™.
It's a good thing I don't have the inventory space to stack at the moment, for I compulsively attempted to rob the planet out of fear that I might run out of Iron Bows to use; fear that still exists despite owning 8 of them as well as 22 axes of various kinds by the start of Chapter 3. >.>

Hm, not really feeling these 'darker' interpretations of him. Not that the art's not nice, but I barely recognize him here.

There's been a terrible engrishy translation (the first 10 maps were translated fine, but you could watch the translation fall apart the further you played after chapter 10) for a few years now, but now someone's gone through and retranslated everything. It's version 1.01, and the entire game is translated. They're mostly looking for things like typos and errors now. It just came out last month. It is not a machine translation.

I've finally gotten around to playing Conquest. It's my first 3DS Fire Emblem game (I've played 4, 6, 7, 8, 9,10, and part of 12). I'll get around to posting impressions when I'm done, but I'll say that the gameplay is actually really tight (the plot post-split is... not).
Quick question: I have three stars next to my save file. Does this mean I'm on Lunatic mode? I thought I picked Hard, but if I'm on Lunatic that would explain why these chapters are actually a challenge.
Dang, that's pretty cool. I need to check this out. I've only played one Kaga game but I really liked what I saw!

If anybody wanted to see the highlights of the stream, Kirie posted it here.

Wada's Hector/Eliwood panorama card looks so good.
Elise (and Sakura) are probably getting Cipher Sai promos.

Actually, yeah its def not Wada. It didn't look like Suzuki to me due to lack of fucked up faces but it might be her.

Ignoring the demonic entity in the foreground, the royals in the background are essentially a Dugtrio.

because he's a trial map character and it asked for playable characters...yeah
Lunatic Conquest Chapter 9
I cleared most of the map of enemies, with only the boss and a healer and a random other enemy remaining. So I decided to move Azura from her hidey hole corner to the middle of the map to join up with the rest of my army.
And then 10 reinforcement units spawn between her and the rest of my units. I guess I just have to keep Azura in the corner of the map for the entire chapter, haha.

At least these reinforcements aren't FE12 "Oh, you thought you were safe? Let me spawn a cavalier and have it immediately move across half the map and kill your healer" reinforcements.

On one hand, noooo, why the exclusive CD?
On the other hand, it would never be made otherwise, right?
Gonna be tough getting it. Really want it, but I suppose it's not the end of the world if I don't get it.

who?
So why does Sophie steal/knock off enemy's clothes, anyway? I don't recall anything from her supports that references or gives any reason for it. I'm not sure how that ability relates to her character. Is she so clumsy on her horse that she just accidentally the whole thing, including what the enemy is wearing?
NeonZ
Member
She's clumsy in general. One of her supports shows her making a mess of a horse stable - and by herself, not due to losing control of her horse.
Fire Emblem is now on Facebook
Maybe they'll use this to facilitate English Cipher news and updates?

I know you're joking, but I'd love to see the reactions of new players if FE5 got released outside Japan.

I, too, would like to see people react to their first staff miss. That, and experiencing 1RN + 99 Hit cap. At the same time, I'm not sure how many people will feel like it was $10 well spent. I mean, FE5's been a nice historical dive for me so far (at Ch. 7 currently; stamina hasn't kicked in yet), but all it's done for me so far is make me appreciate Conquest's mechanics and encounter design a lot more.

*pedantic mode activated*
ACTUALLY Finn and Briggid both definitely survive and can have kids and Ayra, Lex, Azel, and Holyn I think might just be all petrified like Briggid in FE5. Also Levin kinda?

I love region locking. Although it's not like I have the time to play through all those games but still.
PoR started up for the 4th time because I lost my save this time. I'll finish it (hopefully)

Alright, path is clear for my thief. Now to open this door with my trusty lockpick that I left back in the convoy. >____>
FE5 impressions (Up to 8x)
Capture is an interesting mechanic. "Running out of Iron Axes? Just steal another one!" "Short on cash for a Hammer? Steal more Iron Axes and sell them!" I like it because it gives you much greater control over your army's supplies and finances than other FEs. Other FEs would have you wait for the game to give you the gold then buy 500 Iron Bows all at once from a single store as you don't know when you'll run into another weapon shop and fear you might run out of weapons before then.
Capturing -- having to chip out opponents with weaker weapons / units then 'trade' then release -- is still busywork in the end. Feel it slows things down unnecessarily as there's nothing really strategic to it. You either have a good opportunity to capture (or a Brave weapon on hand) or you don't. There's no real incentive to not go for a capture when possible. Still, I like it. Prefer just removing durability and just letting me focus on blazing the chapter or dying trying, but I like it.
Something I don't like though is the Build stat. Tying it to the Capture mechanic was unnecessary as you already took a stat penalty for attempting a capture. All it does is gimp certain units *cough* non-mounted women *cough* to make them mechanically inferior to other units. Tying it to weapon weight mitigation? Even worse as some units just aren't able to use some of the stuff you get no matter what. There's no real upside to having a low Build outside of being easier to Rescue, Rescue itself being a mechanic I was never really fond of. Glad it and weapon weight were eventually removed.
Also dislike all the gaidens. I've had my fill of fog of war by 2x.

Yeah there is, you said it yourself less things to worry about. You don't even need to capture all that much anyway.
Technoweirdo

Yes, now that I'm not forced to use almost nothing but dismounted cavaliers who can't use anything but swords for three chapters in a row against just about everything that doesn't use a sword, I've quickly built up the wealth to outfit my entire army with fresh weapons by the start of Ch. 8. It just feels like I could always be wealthier. The game doesn't really discourage it either; the game could always do another 3-indoor-map gauntlet w/o my precious axe users nor mounted cavalry again but with fog of war this time. I'm pretty paranoid about that happening. >.>

You know, this stat inheritance for Fates seems overly complicated for something that's practically hard capped at +3 for any given stat:

Decided to buy Shadow Dragon because I can't help myself buying anything Fire Emblem related, plus I never beat the game on the hardest difficultly.
Wow, I really dislike the DS virtual console on Wii U, none of the options work for me. Its all rather uncomfortable. Can't find my DS copy, so I guess I'll deal with it.
