Support NeoGAF

[Draxal]

So how should I start Conquest?
Normal or hard?
What FE game does normal compare to?

Imho, since you have a ton of experience, hard or lunatic and drop down if gets too frustrating.

 

[Zolo]

In Awakening, most of the romance would occur in the S-rank. I got everyone to A supports with each other besides my desired S ranks, and so they were all friends with each other in those supports. It just shouldn't be an S if it's platonic, it defeats the purpose IMO. Especially since a lot seem to be changed from the Japanese verison

Yeah. I actually agree with this. A-rank's already basically the best friends forever rank. S-rank is basically the confession scene. Makes it a bit weirder as well since it'd still only be male/female friendships.

Hard it is.
Hope conquest lives up to the praise.

 

[Luigi87]

If you have the SE edition, I believe the answer is the bonuses are already unlocked. So no, you don't lose anything playing chapter by chapter.

That's just my understanding though.

Thanks, that's what I'm hoping. I just think it would be an interesting way to play Birthright and Conquest.

 

[Shun]

The game has a new support mechanic where you become best friends and it's A+. The thing with those is that the A+ doesn't have a dialogue or scene. At least you're still getting it and you can still S and A+ support...

Hey on Classic during the beginning levels before the choice, if a character dies in battle during this time do they come back or are they done for good? Just had Felicia get whacked in Chapter 3 but the text made it sound like she wasn't gone for good. I don't mind restarting the chapter, but I ended up getting a few good stats for my main character and if the classic deaths don't start at this point then I don't have to restart lol.

 

[scarlet]

I don't remember my difficulty setting in awakening. But in birthright in normal is too easy.

For the first 6 chapters, just move on and get to the actual decision at chapter 6. If they die in the tutorial, leave them be.

Then make new save which starts directly from Chapter 6 and you get all your stuff back.

Really get through the tutorial so you never have to again.

 

[Neoleo2143]

Yeah, this is honestly a change for the better. I can see the argument for making S-ranks strictly romantic because of the 1-per-unit limit, but Awakening and Fates were badly lacking in opposite-gender friendships.

Agreed. It's completely refreshing to see a support like Hisame/F!Kana again. Plus, and this is me speculating again S-supports for everyone extending to platonic friendships or romantic relationships would just give everyone more writing in general, and that's not a bad thing at all.

So I'm guessing my level ups during this tutorial section don't really matter then? I ended up getting alot of levels on Chapter 3 just now, and after having bad RNG for my first 2 levels I ended up getting a few +HP +STR +DEF +SPD level ups. I got good RNG, I never get good RNG!

No they definitely do matter, Corrin keeps his/her stats.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

My SE will arrive tomorrow from Amazon, but I'm tempted just to buy Conquest from the eShop right now...

I double dipped on Awakening too...

 

[Weebos]

Is there a list of each stat the banes and boons correspond to? Some are easy, some are ambiguous.

 

[Rainy]

If I start male instead of female, is there any difference? In birthright that is.

 

[GSR]

Who you can marry, and which of Felicia/Jakob will join early and which will join late. (Felicia joins early if male, Jakob if female.)

 

[TDLink]

Can I get a quick rundown on what the Boon/Bane/Talent stuff is? I don't want to pick something bad.

 

[Draxal]

You get Felicia instead of Jakob earlier. Felicia has more caster orientated stats compared to Jakob's more bulky offensive stats. Jakob can reclass to Great Knight early for a good tankish character.

 

[DR2K]

do we have total download size for the games?

 

[Spinluck]

There's PVP in this game?

Thanks for the quick responses!

 

[Coffee Dog]

I'm trying to buy Conquest now that I've downloaded Birthright and the eshop is giving me trouble. I'm sort of surprised there are so many people buying this as soon as it goes up!

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

13000 ish, seems like extra routes may take up 600 blocks.... or something based on the JP version. Although the English version is larger for some reason

 

[Coffee Dog]

The Rhajat change makes me really disappointed despite my lack of interest in it.

Have less reason to bother with it now.

What happened with Rhajat?

 

[pariah164]

I am gonna duck out of the OT until my SE arrives; I'll be too tempted to click spoilers, and add that to the first six chapters being fair game... Yeah. See you guys Wednesday, if not earlier.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

To the people that have finished the game, would you say that the story is great or just serviceable ?

 

[GaimeGuy]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
*buys everything*

 

[GSR]

Serviceable with some twists and developments that plunge straight into either "so bad it's good" or "so bad it's bad" depending on how you feel about them.

Did you ever play Radiant Dawn? Do you remember the

? That level of 'twist'.

 

[jackal27]

Oh man you guys are getting me so hyped to pick up me SE at Gamestop tomorrow.

Today I found out that I reserved the day before the cutoff! #clutch

 

[Busaiku]

About 10 more hours...

It's worse than that.

 

[dakkumauji]

oh yeah, amazon shipped my se

course they went with ups so i probably won't get it tomorrow so cause they'll probably try and deliver it at bloody 8 pm

barely serviceable for me
edit: oh wait, you're asking to those who already finished the game... lalalalala

 

[SDBurton]

What happened with Rhajat?

.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

What happened with Rhajat?

Spoiler

Male and Female Corrin now share the same dialogue with Rhajat, despite that not being the case in the original version.

Rhajat is now truly Tharja

....Wow.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Three/four chapters in. So far I like Robin more than Corrin in personality. But maybe it's because I made my Robin an older man so he seemed so tired of shit and cynical a lot of the time.

But still too soon to judge I guess.

 

[Metroidvania]

(Rhajat spoiler, I guess?)Wait, seriously, they

Spoiler

uni-sexed Rhajat's dialogue?

What. The. Fuck.

Is it the same for Niles?

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

....Wow.

Spoiler

Pretty much now it's just Rhajat stalking either of them, and then in S rank, it's reverse stalking from either one.

Maybe this is all for the better.. ....

Has anyone reviewed and confirmed how "true" Treehouse's localization to the original is? I am kind of hoping Treehouse managed to perform a miracle and make it so bad it's good. Just really mess with everything!

The S-rank platonic stuff/rejections is a step in the right direction. I love that.

 

[CrovaxPSO]

Spoiler

Yes

How were they different originally?

 

[Metroidvania]

Yes

On one hand, I can kind of understand, given the 'but we're both women/men' aspect of the conversation, and how that could be misconstrued.

On the other, having things actually be different yet meaningful was something that further increased the 'yes we are taking this seriously', or at least an attempt to do so.

Regressing back to the standard 'overlap' between sexes feels....lazy.

 

[fernoca]

Thread literally died the moment the game went live on the eShop. XD

Mine should be here hopefully by next friday.

 

[Noirulus]

Man, its been many years since i played an SRPG so I'm rusty but hard mode is fucking hard. Feels hella unfair when your side characters can die in two hits from a weak enemy. Guess I have to switch to normal.

 

[Jotamide]

I think you mean Eliwood, lol

Lol, you're absolutely right. I've been away from FE for too long it seems.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

....

Okay seems like there's a load of information that's out, I think I probably get why Shara and Niles was panned a bit more.

There were apparently always unisex.

False alarm. I guess my memory was a bit off.

You'll need to babysit the weaker characters. They might turn into gods later so it's worth it.

 

[mdubs]

Weapon durability gone

wutttttttttttttt that's weird

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

This is not actually true at all in Fire Emblem. With a few exceptions, units that are good are useful from recruitment. Unless a character has a unique trait that others don't (for instance, having strong 1-2 range combat and durability at the same time) then the investment to make the strong can just be applied to a unit who is already strong to make them better.
