This space before my characters name is driving me crazy. I was hoping there would be a place to edit it but it looks like you can only change your hairstyle. I'm only up to chapter 6 so I can quickly restart and probably will.

Chapter 5 is definitely an unexpected difficulty ramp, but it's also a lesson in unit placement and movement... Of course if you lost Kage in ch.4, that makes it that much more difficult, lol

I am also stuck at Chapter 5. However, I feel that Chapter 4 is cake walk while Chapter 5 is crazy hard. I have played all three GBA FEs and I really do not recall anything this hard.

4 wasn't terrible, it was just the middle section of monsters that really put work in if you didn't position yourself the wipe out at least 1 before the enemy turn. I'm glad I'm not alone in seeing 5 really picked shit up

The loss of Kage really does hurt. I'm actually just going through with restarting the game, but keeping it on the hard difficulty. This time Kage will make it to at least chapter 5.

I only had two (Setsuna and Takumi) so it was an interesting chapter. I was never at risk of dying until the boss was the only unit left (RIP Silas), but with my team composition at the time I felt like I had to be on top of my game at all times. Needless to say it was very mentally exhausting.

Yeah been playing Hard Classic and just finished that fight, had to take a long break cause it really took it out of me. Almost lost a character right at the very end to the boss, got super luck and Hana dodged out of the way of a 76% chance hit. Man it woulda sucked to have to replay all that. Chapter 10 was a really tough one too.

Really regretting switching from Hard/Classic to Normal/Classic.

Currently on chapter 8 and it's not even a challenge. I switched at chap 5 because I was losing too many troops, but the difference between hard and normal seems to be too much of a gap imo.

That's why I make up my own challenges on normal classic: no unit dies and no using prepromoted units.

Sometime I'll go through the game on Hard (like with all FE games), but not the first time through.

The pre-awakening DLC was so good

I didn't expect to feel so nostalgic, and the humor was on point

That's not a bad idea. I normally don't let any unit die - but thought about eliminating pre promoted units... Though I don't think I have any yet.

Game is still great fun - just wish it was a touch harder.

Guess I could always lead with Mozu to make things more challenging

 

[Zaventem]

Does anyone find it weird they removed the option to show the map tiled/partially tiled? Also the transition for the classic non moving camera option somehow became worse. I know it sounds nit picky but so far those are my only issues with the game.

Yeah, for all of my vocal hate for that game I have a soft spot for it. It was the first new Fire Emblem in 5 and a half years and it just hit certain spots for me that no other franchise can. I was lurking GAF at the time and I remember reading the OTs and feeling like a part of the community even though I didn't have an account yet.

Good times.

god it's a shame that that the strategist class for women gives them such an ugly outfit. My Felicia looks all bulky now, but she's much more useful casting spells than as a maid throwing daggers.

I was thinking about reclassing her but she's so good as a healer, especially with that skill that gives her whatever health she heals. Think I'm just going to keep her as a maid for the rest of the game and go shenanigans with her other classes in a later playthrough.

Anyone have a list of all the chapters with bosses that can be captured? Do bosses have supports?

Serenes Forest has a list. No supports.

I lost Hana in Chapter 7 on hard/classic. It was close to the end and everything else had gone well so... no reset. Mixed feelings.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Does Revelations give you additional EXP/Support grinding room?

Like in Conquest without using the DLC I hear it's basically impossible to get every kid---but could I do that in Revelations to satisfy wanting to get every character?

 

[Luigi87]

In Birthright I reclassed Mozu as an Archer.
Deciding if I should do the same in Conquest... She's pretty kickass as an Archer.

I use Mozu as much as I can.

Setsuna is godly as a Sniper. Crits for days.

Yea, ch. 7 had some cheap hits, just mostly did not expect Silas to a)be mobile and b)1-hit ko hana with his javelin two spaces away. I guess I just expected him to sit in that corner like all fire emblem map bosses. I was looking forward to building up Hana too, she left me way too early.

Oh and it's nice to see another player that respects the permadeath! I started assuming everyone here is a save scummer.

 

[DNAbro]

What do the hearts on the top screen in my room mean? Don't really understand if they mean anything and I can't find anything about it.

 

[Swamped]

I just recruited Mozu! Now on to the Ice Tribe battle. Getting to three villages will definitely prove challenging. Any tips?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

How can you let Hana die?

She's awesome. My favorite character probably so far---though I'm not too far into Birthright. I paired her up with Silas because they seemed a great couple too, though if I played as a Male Avatar I probably would've S-Supported her.

Holy fuck, this invasion after Birthright 17 took me an hour, so brutal with a ton of fliers coupled with archers and consistent reinforcements across the map.

I thought this game was supposed to be easy.

I think chapter 5 is going to turn a lot of people off of hard. It's a dumb, frustrating battle that feels more like a puzzle because, at least for me, there was only one set of moves that could get me through it. They also could have used some indicator that some characters will die in chapters 4 and 5 and those aren't permadeaths.

They literally do nothing? Like not even change dialogue or something? That's weird.

So early game, chapter 4 on hard

Spoiler

Sakura got smacked around. I've tried 4 times to get to her in time but can't seem to make it. Should I try harder? She gone for good? I dunno how classic works or even if she's a possible team member.

I'm regretting not importing Lucina, Robin, and Ike when I had the chance... Robin was even available the other day and I passed.

I just recruited Mozu! Now on to the Ice Tribe battle. Getting to three villages will definitely prove challenging. Any tips?

It took me a couple tries, but basically the important thing is to get mileage out of Elise's Freeze staff to keep the left-most village from being warned. There's really only one dude who will try to get there and as long as you're fast enough you can prevent him from ever getting closer than a tile away. I basically just rushed along the map's south side (Niles and Jakob did tons of work) to secure the route (minding enemy move squares) from the enemy mages and rushed Elise ahead to lock down the final settlement, then used Silas to move ahead and finish the job.

The mission is by far the hardest at its' beginning, but as soon as you deal with half the map, the pressure to keep moving becomes a lot less demanding.

She's fine, you want Hinoka to survive so you can talk to her and get a free item but otherwise it doesn't actually matter if they survive, they'll come back later.

What class should I upgrade Mozu to? Also what lvl is recommended to beat the Awakening dlc?

Also when I recruit the Amiibo FE characters as allies are they permanent?

[MissDeviling]

How do I get My Castle battles? Trying to get Arthur'a kid, but I can't bring him or his wife Peri to main story chapters since they're too weak. -_-

 

[NeonZ]

Also when I recruit the Amiibo FE characters as allies are they permanent?

Yes, they're permanent.

I think the only limitation is that you need to scan the Amiibo again if you want them to show up in the Castle's field, rather than just part of the unit list.

Wait- ch 4 and 5 are the same for both routes right? I didn't lose anyone on 4, (Hard/Classic) so I don't think there's a scripted/auto loss there. 5, I'm wondering about. Seems like you'd need some serious rng luck for

I take it there's no real penalty for losing folks here either way?

 

[Triforce141]

I think only children characters and characters that can only romance Corrin like Scarlet or Anna.

It's super easy in Conquest because you only want to use Corrin anyway, and Corrin can one shot every enemy on the map.

I did it as soon as it was available (pre-ch.7) in Birthright.
It took a few resets though, lol

You can lure those enemy in the middle one by one (don't use the dragon vein!!!). This can greatly reduce the difficulty. I think this chapter teaches us not to use dragon vein every single time.

Well, I am playing Birthlight...

As someone playing Conquest on Hard/Classic, I was weeping from all that sweet sweet EXP.

Conquest must be for masochists then because Birthright is certainly a lot tougher than I expected.

It was a nice surprise thought. I was expecting Awakening 2.0 when it came to difficulty.

Silas puzzles me.

Spoiler

He and Corrin became friends in Nohr right? So why doesn't Corrin remember him AT ALL after he/she gets their memory back? All of their interactions are hilariously awkward as fuck as a result.
