Chapter 1-6 are basically tutorials, don't worry, once you get past that, you'll get the menu+ my castle.
I bought conquest, after beating that one chapter I got a new option below "New Game" that says "Branch of Fate", the game will start at the branching point. No idea what happens with the level ups.
Oh hey I actually managed to get out of this situation without anyone dying, lol
And had Effie fight the boss

Ok I know this is the Fates OT so forgive me but I don't want to start a new thread just for this 
In Awakening, if I'm just doing a casual normal run through should I bother doing second seals before master seals? If so, why? If not, what should I do with all these seals? I've just finished chapter 10.
Thanks in advance

All of your level ups for the characters stay the same, so if you spent over an hour just letting Azura dance so she can be level 20 or something, the game will remember that and she will still be that same level when you start at the Branch of Fate.
If you want to change that, just restart from Chapter 1.

I just learn even if someone transferred their jap save with Minerva in it, she can't be recruited. I feel devastated now lol Minerva is my all-time favorite FE girl ;-; That art looks so beautiful too

Never second seal before master seal. Never. Unless your character is already of an advanced class like Frederick or Libra (they already used a master seal before joining your party). Or you have reclassed like a million times and you are just looking for a specific low tier skill like armshift
Some extra tip: Spam heal with your healer, even when someone is missing just one hp, Lissa can get to lvl 20 by the time Chrom gets to 14-15 doing this
Also, there is a thread for fire emblem awakening over here, if you dont want your post to be buried by fates: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=542781&page=288

It's better to just use master seals on someone when they get to level 20. Reclassing characters with second seals is really only needed if you're trying to pick up skills from lots of different classes to build a perfect end-game party.

The cipher units look really awful in the game, gigantic square boxes compared to the transparent cutouts every other character has.

Map Pack 1 was available for purchase last night, didn't actually try any so I don't know if they all say that they're not released when choosing them, though.
I sometimes wish they didn't make dlc maps for grinding because that's exactly what i'm gonna do when it becomes available. I have no self control lol
Has been available for purchase a long time now.

Yes. Once you pick a side the first time, you can start a new campaign from Chapter 6 though. This works the same way for anyone who has purchased the additional campaigns as DLC.

Gotcha, I only started getting notifications yesterday evening, didn't get to Dragon Gate until late last night to buy anything though.

Is there a Donnel equivalent in this game?

She's better than Donnel ever was for me.
I turned her into an Archer the moment I got her, she's now a Sniper and easily has the most kills on my team and crits like nobody's fucking business. Speaking of which she has the best damn 2nd attack animation and critical animation. That backwards leap is gold and the way she twirls the arrow in her hand before the shot is so fucking smooth.

I legit just got her, and that's what inspired the question. Haha. I guess I'll start investing in her, haha.

Really? I only seen that art and it looks beautiful, I'll try to find a in-game picture and see. Though I herd Minerva has an exclusive class, she uses the old pegasus knight class (looking at FE Wiki)
It looked like the guest artist dlc units from Awakening, completely out of place. Even thought Kozaki did Marth and Masked Lucina they look off as well.

lol chapter 10 birthright, 1 turn = 1 of my units gets killed.
Villager is not the same as in Awakening, it's just a normal class with no extra level ups. It's best you Heart Seal her to Archer for more utility unless you want the skills.
Conquest 26
Once I figured out I shouldn't try to split my guys, it went rather smoothly. My army is lacking when it comes to decent axe users (Percy has decent stats but somehow manages to suck most of the times, uh).
was disappointing easy, he literally got 2-shots by Odin.
I'm surprised Nintendo didn't censor
Oh yeah, the children character can also be paired up with the avatar and give birth.
What a clusterfuck lol.

Ryoma's harakiri, then again there wasn't any blood.

So a reminder that the first week of DLC, namely Boo Camp and Beach Brawl, will be coming out later today. Let's hope there is a lack of curtains in the latter, if only so that there isn't yet another thread about the localization.

Shes awesome. Her facial expressions are great too.
Children character spoilers Awakening ...
Cordelia/Lissa/and Olivia can be great grandmothers now as can every pretty much every male in the Awakenig cast. It's even funnier when you relaized this game takes a long time before Awakening.

Just saw it, kinda does look weird in-game. Regardless still a bit disappointed, I love Minerva and kinda always want her in my team if she's playable.
To all FE players, what do you think of the new class added? Personally, I love the new classes. Kinshi Knight looks really beautiful and can't wait to try it.
Ninja/Master Ninja are fun to play with but it can burn to hell if you have to see it (chapter 17's ninja cave of doom)
She quickly became my favorite unit after exploring her supports. Turns out she's hypercritical on and off the battlefield. Her stink eye is strong.
She has the best voice in America and Japan.

I unlocked her first support with Takumi which was cute. Tempted to ship them. Shes on my shortlist of favorite units since many dont really stand out so far. Im still early.
Hinata and Felicias first support was also cute.
I recommend Oboro's supports with Saizo. It's a clash of iron wills.
All right. Will hang in and try not to use staffs till then.
If this is your first FE, you should start with Birthright. Conquest is much, much harder difficulty wise, and made for FE veterans.
Edit: Just go Birthright if you haven't played Fire Emblem before.
If you can return one of the games I would. It makes much more sense to buy one hard copy, and get the other copy as dlc.

You know that's not ideal, right? It's better to just get one physical and get the second one digitally. 20 dollars cheaper plus you get items and stuff.
Of course if you are a collector and just wanted both that's cool too...but you might end up downloading one anyway and dropping another 20.
Birthright is probably your best bet for a first FE.
Birthright offers a fraction of the kind of optional grinding you find in Disgaea. Conquest will be a starker contrast.
You can spend time with someone else but they won't gain support.
Chapter 14 Birthright was... Interesting. The dozen+ reenforcements in one turn made for a two-part battle. Normally I'd say I hate when loads of enemies are spawned in, it didn't bug me here. Probably because it gives you plenty of time to work towards the second force instead of dropping it on you during battle with the first.
Gonna' see if I can avoid using Ryoma. I friggin' hate his design.
