Going along well in Birthright, stuck on Snow Mission on Conquest, ha ha.

Great game so far. Playing conquest. Already sick of the blatant guilt tripping for choosing this path haha. And the modern anime style is somewhat off putting. But otherwise, enjoying it.

I give, I changed my difficulty from Hard to Normal on Conquest. Avert your eyes from my shame.

Hey folks, new to the series here. Awakening never really clicked for me, as the pair up mechanic really irked me. Im familiar with Shining Force and FFT, and was looking forward to another strategy rpg, but was bummed out by the limited actions any one unit cold perform, and having to pair up nearly all your units to have them be worth anything drove me nuts.
Would this one be more up my alley or what?

Absolutely not since the pair up is even more vital now that the enemies can do it and some of the changes made.
Yeah, I used to hate it too, but it's grown on me now.
Pair up is way different in this game than in Awakening. When pairing up two characters, support units provide attack and defensive bonuses but they will never attack which means you can't just blow through the game. However, you can have two units attacking at the same time if they're adjacent to each other but they won't provide bonuses. This means positioning is even more important than Awakening. Also don't forget enemy units can team up now too.
It's pretty much a stance-like system now and the game is better for it.

Keep going back and forth on it. :/
I knew it wouldn't be anywhere near as cute as the JP VA, but I can't tell if it's poorly-acted/miscast/need more time for it to grow on me.
Just a thought- maybe try the older games? Pair up is only an Awakening/Fates thing.

What do you mean it's a stance like system. You mean that pairing up is defense and splitting up would be offense, then?

Yeah, I did. Is that the reason?
So far:
Gameplay - Best its ever been (again)
Graphics - Better than last entry
Level design - Great
Art - Better than last entry.
Story - ASS
Characters- A letdown. They don't have that synergy like Awakening. This game makes me miss the old character"s stories and interactions.
Difficulty - Perfect (playing on hard which feels like the "right" difficulty)
Birthright. Still early on.

Oh shit I'm already about to hit S Support with Jakob. He's just so god damn versatile I can't help always being near him. He's not even the guy I want o marry, strictly a master servant relationship.
Also Mozu Archer is Da Gawd. Her and Silas wreck shit when I have them together. They are SOOOO getting married.

Just started, on chapter 7 Conquest and the game is already showing no mercy. Playing Hard Classic, I can't imagine how it would be like on Lunatic. Doesn't help that there currently isn't any Jeigans to soften up dudes, meaning extra emphasis on keeping your dudes positioned well.
Don't think I ever had this challenge in Awakening's base game on Hard.

Yup. You're better off leaving characters unpaired if you plan on going offensive.

Well at least there's a reason to do so now. Eh, I'll give it a shot. Lemme ask the tired question though. Difficulty modes? The thing I never understood about the permadeath mechanic in fire emblem, is that it seems so punishing that everyone would just reset their game if a single person died. How is that functionally any different than just using the non permadeath option?

Whats the reward for saving atleast 3 houses in chapter 8 Conquest? I can only get to two of them and get 5K gold.

Lost Felicia on the first battle. Oh well. The true Fire Emblem starts here. No reloading like a filthy casual.

It basically turns the game over condition into "let anyone die" versus "let the Lord die." Casual mode however doesn't punish you for that; even if someone dies, they'll be back after the mission anyway.
Not everyone chooses to play like this of course, it's purely for the desire of challenge and trying to find the optimal strategy to clear maps without characters dying. At least IMO.
Because if you're playing on Casual instead of Classic, you can easily make use of way riskier tactics, or even use straight-up sacrificial ones. It doesn't matter if you lose the Paladin you've been training for 20 chapters by sending him into a horde of Berserkers, because he'll be back the next mission - and now you don't have as many Berserkers to deal with!

Yeah, def gonna try the undub thing because of this.
Anyone else think Hinoka sounds like a cross between Tommy Pickles and Buttercup?
Snapshot King

I suppose, but resetting the game over and over seems just as sacrificial, just you're sacrificing your time instead of your character. That being said, with permadeath, doesn't that make it so that the game can reach an X-com level fail state, where you don't have enough units to field to even beat the game?

Lies. True Fire Emblem players never let a unit die, no matter how many resets it takes.
He's good, but he pretty much always needs a homie next to him or he can't hit shit
It's not designed to be possible on the higher difficulties without dying or grinding.
nooo keep at it.
Revelation is longer in the sense in that you get everyone and there is so much shit to do.
Conquest is longer in the sense that it's harder and you will take more time playing through because difficulty.
Birthright is longer cause you can just grind all day, but you can do that in Revelation.
So Revleation > Conquest >> Birthright I guess. Length is subjective depending on your difficulty and what you want to do in the game. The chapter length is basically the same save for Revelation and it is really dependent on how you play the game.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Is one version longer than the other?

You read my mind; this is exactly what I think she sounds like.
No, Birthright and Conquest have the same amount of Chapters and Paralogues. Birthright has a map you can grind on though where as Conquest does not.
It's 10k. I just used the freeze staff on the soldiers on Hard, gave plenty of time to get the other houses.

Why did I just get $.08 back after preordering this game on Amazon? Was that my 20% discount?
oh hell yeah. I can't tolerate anything else than a perfect battle!
