Disappointed that nothing matched up to Return/Purpose/Don't Speak Her Name in the music department, but those tracks were amazing so I can't hold it against them.

Ah got it. I should have been more patient
The final battle music is incredible. Better than Purpose imo. But DSHN is a different kind of legendary. I was disappointed they didnt play it during the 25th anniversary concert. Azuras song is great too.

I felt Purpose was better implemented in Awakening, it's story was better told, even if it was a mixed bag.
I still need to play Revs, but I got finals next week

As generals they are both worse than Effie and as Great Knights they are both worse than Xander (who has the added benefit of not being a Great Knight) and likely most of your other mounted units.
Plus Camilla is wasted on Ignatius.

Yeah that lead up in Awakening gave me goosebumps. You can see they tried to recreate that in Fates but it didnt work as well.
End of all roads though got me so pumped up though, especially in Conquest. I had just 2 units left by the time I won so the mix of tension and music made winning feel like a great accomplishment.
DSHN is the best song of the 3DS games, as for the 25th concert they played the two best fire Emblem songs ever so I don't mind (Uprisingi n Agustria/and Eltshan the Lionheart).

I'm on the paralogue where you recruit Saizo's kid,
?
Edit: Saizo's had a +95% accuracy, and missed over 6 times in a row, Kaze speed he is not.
does Conquest play for this, Caeldori and Rahjat's chapters also as reference to them being based off the Awakening characters Gaius, Cordelia and Tharja

Man, Birthright Hard/Classic ended...softly. Not much in the way of memorable and challenging boards versus Normal/Classic Conquest. And characters...well, I strongly prefer Conquest overall but I did quite like fiery Hinoka and smart-ass Azama among a select few others.
Hinoka developed into this game's Velouria (although Silas married Hinoka) in terms of being a personally favored character able to eventually dominate almost anything with the only caveat being a low magic stat. On to Revelations while considering an uncompromising accept-the-losses Conquest run to see how far I get.

Saw that Birthright outsold Conquest in the sales thread.
The dream is dead.

Yes.
Was expected tbh. Im sure Nintendo knew that as well.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
When you sell it as the easier game and the sequel to the previous game, and make it clear you can get the second path for a discount anyway, most people will go for the easier, familiar game first.

Barely.
Err doesn't mean much.
1. A lot of hardcore fans bought the special edition, who might have leaned to Conquest otherwise.
2. Conquest had a reputation of being a worse story and than Birthright.
3. The success of this means that split campaigns might happen again.

frankly the margin was closer than I thought, I didn't expect Conquest to be only 3% back (in Japan it was like >10% lol)

Wait, what? I didn't get Benny and Charlotte on that chapter. I got Belka, Severa, and Camilla.

Birthright 22
So, uh
So, uh
Does the fact Shura helped kidnap Azura come up again or is it basically pointless? They don't share a support conversation and that's a pretty big detail all things considered.

dude Birthright is great too, and has the better boxart.
You should be asking why Nintendo was Hoshido biased on the Special Edition

Also disappointing.
Next time I might give up on having all the FE games if they do a split release, and just get the "Conquest sequel."

Revelation 13
I'm loving all these interactions between Hoshidan and Nohr characters. This is like the best fan service.
Oh those are pretty good. I like Agustria a lot. I havent really heard any other FE soundtracks besides the 3DS games and whats on Smash Bros.
Aw man I was legit sad that Nestra was destroyed. I was hoping for another dance routine but alas. I liked the debris mechanic but after I used the dragon vein, all of my efforts to create chokepoints and block enemies didnt mean shit as reinforcements continued to pour in from all sides.
Fuck man I cant believe theres no Ryoma and Scarlet supports. That feels criminal, especially how Sakura teases him about it at the end of the chapter. Damnit.

I got Gazzak! Somehow, Fates has made me cheer for two 85% hits.
Considering how much they're pushing the whole "the player is the my unit/avatar angle", it's kind of odd they made Corrin such specific character. I kind of wish they went back to the New Mystery-style avatar that even had customizable backstory, leaving the main lord as a separate character.
I don't know what happened, but after lagging during most of the game my Corrin suddenly became a beast end-game, and I chose what's probably the worst stat combo (-skill, + luck)

It's because Hoshido is looking towards left at Norh. Norh is on the back.
There's also a reversible cover that's just the special edition box art with out writing.
Unless you've been grinding a lot its probably a little too early to do that paralogue.
I think around chapter 12 you don't necessarilly have any promoted units but the paralogue has quite a few including reinforcements.
You might be able to do it but it won't be easy! (I just barely completed it at chapter 12 with lots of grinding... And I lost a character in the attempt)

I only needed to dodge just one[/B of the two] 25% hit attacks to survive the turn.
JUST DODGE ONE
AND I GOT HIT BY BOTH FUCK FUVILSDJSLKDHFKSLDFJSAKLDFJASDL;KFJ
Edit: I need to go grind. There's too many promoted units while mine are still 13-15 and I don't want Ryoma sapping all the experience. There's no chance im gonna be able to do conquest/revelations on hard if im struggling this much.

Why didn't you reset? As for the second, it is actually avoidable
Cause it was the last enemy on the map that killed him and I could not be bothered to redo the whole map just for Ryoma. And yeah, I just read up on how it can be avoided. Still think
---his death---
Corrin's messiah complex
Conquest 10 on hard, any tips? I was defending in the middle with Corrin tanking the entrance and Effie making sure no one broke the wall. I sent Camilla down paired up with the other wyvern rider to take out Takumi but apparently he can attack from one space away??? The hell...
That's actually a good idea, not too much different from my strategy
My Arthur misses too much, but he's a good damage sponge. But yeah that turn 6...
That's crazy, I'm going to start my Revelation run after I go through Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and tackle this backlog of mine
I would love to see more of that stuff, I haven't played that one

Takumi in conquest is given point blank as a skill which makes bows 1-2 range. Similar stuff happens with Hinoka, who gets a skill nullifying her flying weakness to arrows (but not her weakness to beast killers and beastbane)

How does one get Bowslayer on Hinoka? It's a sorcerer skill, but I don't think that's one of her native classes?

find a castle with a hinoka with it and buy it from them
marry her to an avatar with a dark mage class
in rev, she can marry leo and partner seal to dark mage
Question - I'm nearly done with Birthright and kinda feel like I'm going to be Fire Emblem-ed out for a while. I might (not sure yet) want to sell the game but I don't want to lose my save data/post-game stuff in case I want to go back and play Conquest and Revelations later. Can I keep all that without having to have the physical copy of Birthright?

Guys, so I just played Chapter 12 in Birthright. I'm cutting through Nohrian soldiers with ease. Then eventually, Xander makes his way to me and rekts my whole live. This dude is a monster. Even after being weakened by being "hit" (No Damage!!) by one of Kaze's Sting Shurikens, his defense is still INSANELY high (24) and no one on my squad can even harm him with defense that high (and he's weakened!).
So, I'm guessing this is where the game basically forces you to use Corrin's dragonstone? I totally forgot about it until now...

You can make a backup of your save data in the memory card of the 3DS but I dont know if you will be able to use it if your save is from the Birthroght edition and try to use it on Conquest.
The goal is to escape with Corrin. You're intended to avoid him, not defeat him.

The game makes that clear but... I just have a hard time leaving all that loot and EXP. :/
