Xander's real strength is in his prf sword and bases, so it's really just a matter of getting his speed patched up through pair up/tonics and then letting him kill everything.

Chapter 10 conquest.
My Silas got owned by a bunch of random reinforcements from the left side.
Well time to restructure that then.

I think it depends, given by end game conquest my Ophelia using a mjolnir time had over 50% crit chance

Ophelia with her constant ~70% crit rate is amazing. If only it were easier to forge up crit weapons.
I'm thinking of picking this game up. I had a few questions though. I heard whispers that the localization may have taken a lot of dialogue out in the name of censorship. Is this true? If so, the OP mentioned getting the Japanese version and patching it. Does this require having custom firmware on my 3DS? Also, how much of the dialogue has voice-over?
TL;DR: What's your opinion of the localization?

Corrin should've been a twin or something
No character can be logical and then outright stupid all at once.

You will need Homebrew to do it, the voiced dialog that matter is only in cutscenes. You would be trading localization for direct traslation (I've seen some dialog from the patch and everything has "big brother" and "big sister" whenever Corrin talks to the sibilings, like Big Brother Ryoma every time). There was this blog that actually compared some of the changes I read the other day, I'm trying to find the link, will update as soon as I find it.
Edit: this one: https://kantopia.wordpress.com/2016/03/01/fire-emblem-fates-localization-izanas-character-izumos-portrayal-major-change/
If you look around you will find comparison for some other diferences between both games like how localization made Hoshidians more hostile towards Nohr and other stuff

The localization is better overall, some things may irk me like Saizo and Beruka's "..." C-Conversation, Female Corrin no longer having a unique support with Rahjat and now just shares the same with Male Corrin, Hisame having a pickle obsession (which is funnier than bad) or Asugi/Selkie's voices being irritating, but I prefer the writing Treehouse did over a literal translation by a long shot.

The localization drama was overblown and overreacted. Their really isn't that much of a difference, but after reading most of the Japanese version, I would say that one is rather boring. It's pretty much straight forward and lacks a bit of personality (although this could depend on the translation).
The localization is pretty good, some voices for the characters are strange or bad, others are perfect (Felicia, in my opinion is perfect, but this one is the most divided).
As for story wise, the locazation actually slightly improved the story...slightly.

Sazio has to be the funniest character with his supports.
I don't know if you're being facetious given how serious he is but Saizo is a pretty fun straight man in his supports. His Oboro stuff is perfect.
DecoReturns

I should say he's unintentionally funny because how blunt and honest he is.
His supports with Setsuna and Felicia are great.
I gave him both my speed wings and he's been fine. It's just amusing (in an obnoxious sort of way) when he gets 7 total stat points over 4 levels and Sophie gets 23.
Hm?
I wasn't talking about the player's high crit units.
Those are always fun though.

The advantage he has over Sophie (and every non mage/ninja/maidler) is that he has 1-2 range with no penalties, making him statistically superior would be way overkill.

I wonder if the sales of FE Fates will make Nintendo consider a new console entry. Fates should easily do 1m sales in the first year.

So I've had Conquest for a while (#TeamConquest, baby!) and I've been playing it p aggressively on Hard Classic. The game is... well it's tough. Real tough. But then again, I thought every Fire Emblem game I've played, with the exception of Sacred Stones, was hard.
After getting my butt kicked for days, I FINALLY beat Chapter 10! Very difficult stuff and reminded me of the as difficult Defending chapter from Radiant Dawn (don't remember which chapter that was). After a while, I had refined my strategy and used every unit I had to great effect. Not one unit was ignored.
REALLY dig the story, love the narrative powered by mechanics elements, love the conflict and branches that the world provides, and I LOVE the aesthetic. It's so gothic, I love it! Also the different branch stuff reminds me of the Arrowverse multiverse. I'd love for a sequel to have a Crisis on Infinite Earths kinda deal.
Favorite character so far is Arthur BY far. Dude reminds me of me and he's such a badass. Probably my favorite Fighter in the series. I don't like Silas much, but the dude is really good. And Effie? She's the strongest unit of them all. A one woman army that's unstoppable.
As for S-Rank options, I like Elise and Camilla a lot!! I'm not sure if I'm down for S-Ranking them without seeing the entire cast, but they're so cool. I doubt anyone is going to be as fantasmazing as Maribelle was in Awakening, but that's just unfair!
Anyway, so far this game is incredible and a proper sequel to my favorite game of the generation. Can't wait to buy Birthright (physically, of course) and get more out of my Fire Emblem experience!

Its kinda interesting how the Nohr path takes you to a lot of parts of Hoshido to see the palace and gardens and other stuff,while the Hoshido you get to know alot more of the country of Nohr.
I think a new console game is forgone conclusion at this point. If the NX having a shared library is true that is.

I'd love an HD console FE with fully animated supports like the conversations in Witcher 3. One can only dream *drool*
That would nice. Although I'm secretly hoping for a FE7 remake with some of the newer mechanics. A playable tactician would be fun.

That's the My Unit essentially.
In fact its Micaiah and Soren In Radiant Dawn,
Soren/Ike in Path of Radiance
The Twins in Sacred Stones

I'd much prefer a remake of FE6 if we were to get a remake.
FE6 is one of my absolute fav Fire Emblem games and easily my favorite of the GBA saga. Also we never got it in NA! I want to spend money to support the work I love! Also Roy is AWESOME

So uh, is Invasion 2 (Nohr) even possible? My castle is defended pretty well, and it's been 3-4 maps and I'm still hopelessly outmatched for the ridiculous swarm of strong enemies that invade you. Does it scale, or should I just wait on it a bit more?
Invasions don't scale.
I think that Radiant Dawn, coupled with the flop of #FE on the Wii U in Japan and said console's lackluster sales, put the nail in that coffin. If anything, its success will likely ensure it sticks to handhelds for a while, assuming of course the 3DS sees more support or a successor after whatever the NX is supposed to be.
That and if it means getting another entry as bad as Radiant Dawn...well i'll pass, give me a Conquest-style campaign with good writing any day.
How many levels should units generally be gaining per chapter? Two?
I'm at Conquest Chapter 11 and Odin is Lv. 6. I reclassed him to Samurai, but his strength/defense stats are too low for him to take a hit or dish one out. Pairing him with Selena is helping, but I feel like she's babysitting him where she could be gaining EXP herself. Maybe it's because I have them paired up instead of just adjacent? I'm thinking of just grinding his supports in the DLC, so I can drop him and get Ophelia at the first opportunity later.

Takumi dragon vein was next level bullshit.
Freeze staff saved the day.

I meant specifically the NPC tactician we "play" as throughout the story. I wouldn't mind still being silent but having that character as playable could be interesting.
Ohh yea. I have yet to play FE6. They should make the game available here already!

Look I love modern FE but I want IS to not remake anything. I don't even get the point, the mechanics and design hold up and I doubt any remake would look better than the GBA games.
The exact opposite imho, Nintendo probably thinks it's a handheld series only now especially after #FE completely bombing.

GBA FE would lose some of their Charm if there are remade.

Started revelation. Paralogue 1 was kind of hilarious because you have almost no characters when you first get it, as opposed to Birthright and Conquest
If it means getting Fire Emblem 2-6 and BS Fire Emblem localized, i'll take a remake... though i'd prefer an HD port of the original. Worse comes to worse, there's always the original to play.

So, I forgot that I had picked ninja as my talent for my Conquest character. And I decided to buy Hoshidan Unity off of my Birthright character. And then I got Lethality, which activates more often than Dragon Fang does. I'm pretty happy with how it has turned out.
Should I go for it and get Aether from the Great Lord class? Or should I try to finish Conquest without using the DLC classes?

I'd personally prefer no remakes and just straight up new games, though. Besides Fire Emblem Warriors, of course
I don't know why people keep pointing to #FE saying it's lack of success means they're won't be a new console entry when it's very clearly a spin off. That's like saying the last Mario Party bombed so they're won't be any more console Mario games. Radiant Dawn isn't a good excuse either because it was from a time when FE was still considered a hardcore only franchise and was released on Wii.

The localization is fine. There's some stuff that I do have legitimate grievances with (Pointless removal of the swimsuits and Toga, Saizo-Brueka C support axing characterization for a stupid "..." joke). Most of it is overblown though and the localization even improves on several points from the Japanese version.
