So Keaton died right before completing chapter 24... I can still restart but that chapter was such a fucking pain in the ass and I really didn't use him at all. Sorry dude, you're the casualty. rip.

Donnel's big issue is that you have to get him to level ten to reclass to another class that starts of at e, when there's a shit ton of other good sword users already.
Smashgaf would commit suicide if that happened.
Started the game (Birthright) yesterday and got to around Chapter 8 or 9, can't remember.

Impressions:
- Don't like the feudal Japan influences but I'm okay with IS trying different things out
- Forget the waifu business, I miss the colors/art style of FE7-Radiant Dawn. I think the combination of 3DS screen/Aliasing/Uggo textures make it seem worse than it is.
- Birthright isn't as much like Awakening as I was led to believe. Aside from Paralogue, there's only one optional fight per chapter. Sure I can spend gold but that would be going a bit out of my way, with Awakening just clearing the world map was enough. I like it.
- I like the Dragon veins conceptually and it's cool to trigger them but so far I've never seen a tactical reason to not trigger them.
- I'm interested in playing through the Nohr side after this. So far I haven't seen anything that puts Nohr in very good light, even the first 6 chapters. I'm sure there'll be twists and turns down the line though.
Questions:
- What's up with magic in this game? Is everything relegated to scrolls? Do scrolls have their own triangle?
- When you first get introduced to your fort in Chapter 2 or 3, there's a thing you can feed. What do I get out of feeding said thing?

My people keep getting nailed by low percentage attacks from enemies and they have the weapon advantage. Percentage ranging between 42% to 55%.
Like always. Even after restarting the mission cause of lost of character, it keeps happening.

random probably-not-practical idea: max strength/skill/speed Charlotte w/ Aurgelmir can deal 23x2 damage with 47 displayed crit to the final boss in Conquest...that's with 0 support or boosts

The difference is that given the investment to make Donnel good anyone can be excellent. Mozu can earn her own investment much more easily (but it's still not worth it).
I think two snipers are better than one and this is before accounting for the fact (I think?) Birthright players can't even get Niles.
Edit: Yeah, Reina's good, too.
Snipers in general are one of the weakest classes overall, just not as versatile as other classes.
Really? Both characters are straight killers for me.
Well, technically, those characters are good, but that class itself isn't. Is what I imagine people are getting at.

theres no penalty/benefit for taking more or less turns is there? Unless something specific happens like reinforcements?

Snipers are always my best characters, Rolf is always in the top 5 in GC/Wii.
90% of characters are usable in FE since most games are easy, even in Lunatic.
Well for me they are worth it.
Also Ive been using only like 8 characters, yet they give me so many placement spots

Kaze sure is a ladies man. I'm glad I restarted Birthright and made sure he stayed alive. Some of his supports with characters are awesome, such as his first with Hana.
Saizo and Kagero are great together, as expected. B and A support spoilers:
I'm also starting to get over Hana's VA. I didnt like it too much but her supports are great and her Live 2D model is well done.
Some of the pairs I decided on ended up being kind of lame while others were better than expected. I thought Hinoka / Silas would be good but that was kind of boring. I'm at A with them and I think thats the furthest they will get. Meanwhile, Kaden and Mozu C support was pretty cute and that happened by accident.
I think I'll hold off on any S support for any of the characters until I get to at least B. No rush, gonna take my time.

Its not surprising that they used to date but ended up breaking up due to stubbornness. It makes sense honestly. Its heartwarming how they still care for each other and I cant wait to see what their S support is gonna be like! It'll be weird pairing her with Ryoma knowing this though.

For real, snipers and archers in general get too much hate for not being versatile enough yet they always save my ass when I need them.

Snipers aren't good because why kill at most one enemy per turn when another can kill more?

Innes's sure strike was the stupidest thing

The only archer worth mentioning and talking about in the Fire Emblem franchise is this one.
Well they had to nerf Takumi some how. Personal weapon carries him, if Zero had some legendary bow he would be much better anyway. So would Eponine.
Yeah, Tak's weapon carries him, otherwise his speed's just a little too weak.
Game pushes vanguard/defense stance alot, but having attack stance actually makes snipers a bit more useful.
Is there any chance of proximity shot being a dlc skill?
Are you saying you used a lv20 Kana and they didn't get exp or sth?

Wow Takumi is rude. Lost respect for sure. Fujin Yumi carries you btw.
btw what are the weapon rank bonuses at S rank?

Just beat Birthright Lunatic 15.
Jaysus. I didn't do an exact count, but there must have been close to 60 units. I loved that concept.
The one I didn't like as much was that half the map was mountains. Even with my highest skill dudes, hitrate probably hovered around an unhealthy 70%.
Made that a little more RNG than I'd like. That compounded with 1% crits eventually killing me due to the sheer number of battles made this map a bit more frustrating than fun.
Still awesome though.

Because pegs are all still really strong?
did conquest 8 lunatic classic etc etc last night. Pretty interesting map, no idea how anyone gets three houses or more though, by the time I rushed to the second one to the west the third one was popping out enemies.
damn, ayane sakura. pls dual audio

I agree. Should have clarified a bit more
Wished Hana also got a personal god weapon. It be like having two Ryomas

Why is Kaze's unpromoted str cap 15?
I know why but still zzzzz

The game has been out for near 8 months now. DLC has been out for 6-7 months. If they were going to add more, they would have done so by now.
Unless they want to add it in retrospectively down the line, IntSys probably moved on to their next project.
In my Birthright, after promotion to Sniper for both, Mozu wipes the floor with Takumi. Mozu consistently gets doubles no matter what, and always 30+ per hit. Takumi is good, but he ain't Mozu good.
ALso Mozu has amazing crit quotes, such as "you smell like a goat!"

Now compare to the rest of the series. The two you get in birthright without reclassing only one gets slightly above 50% chance of str growth. I don't think high movement doesn't really make up for the sheer drop in stats, not sure what kind of balance they were trying to apply.

50% growth for strength on a peg is really good, most pegs have relatively poor stats that are made up for with their excellent utility. Hinoka is a top 3 Birthright unit.

i never knew peg knights were well know for having high strength
Are you taking about that image adding all the stat totals? doesn't mean much if they can't reach it lol
Well i dunno what they're know for now, i guess movement.
Whyyyy.
He gives you all those presents.
Okay, beat Conquest 10. I did reclass Mozu into an archer... a low level one, but that was enough to man the right-most ballista for half the battle with Silas and Felicia protecting that side for most of the mission.
That combined with Azura doing singing for double turns for Niles for most of the map made a huge difference since the center turret can't cover the right side of the map very well. Last two turns I just retreated and used Freeze to keep the most dangerous units at a distance. A few close calls but no deaths, onwards I go! Odin sat the battle out but his stat growths have been garbage. Nyx already far outclasses him even after I fed exp to Odin to catch him up to 11 or 12 now, which is a shame because Odin is entertaining and I want to keep using him...

no I'm talking about as units

Units with meh strength but high speed can easily overcome combat issues with pair up and forged steel weapons, see Kaze.
