Along this line I'm hoping its still mostly a fire emblem game but with demons instead of weapons.

I think a good idea might be to make it semi-squad based. You have human characters with a summoned demon or two in groups. Probably pick a single attack ala Fire Emblem. (Maybe humans use weapons while demons use MP?) and the two squads do their attacks and counters like FE.

The event tiles in the demo can give you items like "Aversa's Darkness" and "Seliph's Sword" that clue us in to new localized names.

Convert your Avatar into a Dark Mage and give them Nosferatu. Unless the enemy can oneshot them you're nearly invincible.

Dark Pegasus gets a skill that lets them take another move after they've killed an enemy, once per turn. IE: Move, attack, kill, second turn, move, attack, kill, end turn. It's basically like their own personal dancer.

From there, you have that Dark Pegasus pair up with anybody at all. Note this next step requires them both to have a son, and you to have the Alm DLC, since Demon Fighters are male only. and DLC-only.

The son now has that Dark Pegasus skill, lightning speed. From there you reclass him to Demon Fighter and level him to 15. He'll get a skill, Quick Slash, that increases his damage by 10 when he initiates a battle.

Congratulations, you've now broken the game

If you spend roughly one hundred levels you can grab Axe/Sword/Lance/Bow/Tome slayer which gives you +50 hit and dodge against those weapon types then prance around as the world's dodgiest General or anything you want really.

Or be a flying class with Carrier, move +1, pass and the boots and have the ability to move 13 squares and through enemies.

One of my better characters in the early postgame (so everything but the actual hardest map) was A female Mark pimped out to have the highest possible defense cap and the manakete class. Skill set was like Limit Breaker/Lightning Speed/Magnificent Flame/All Stats+2/Life Absorb. In retrospect, after understanding how the postgame works a bit better, I'd have either replaced Life Absorb with Luna/Aether or Magnificent Flame and Life Absorb with Great Shield and Holy Shield.

In the actual hardest map, just run around with Lightning Speed, Limit Breaker, forged brave weapons, and A-rank supports between your entire team. All of those seem to be both necessary and sufficient so whatever else you do is up to preference.

Yeah, this is all post-game or late-game ridiculousness, and the late game has always been kinda busted in FE games. Remember Victory or Death, or as I like to call it, the Morph Meat Mauler?

Yeah, the post-game isn't really post. After you beat the game, it just kicks you back to before the final boss and the only things you have left to do are any sidequests you haven't completed and DLC including street/spotpass.

I was just imagining sharing one of these unfair teams with someone whose still working through the game. Apparently your stats are determined by the person playing's difficulty but I think the skills still stay right?

"Is that your final dandy?"
Does Astra work like PoR where all the attacks only consume 1 weapon use, or is it like RD where each hit consumes a use? I also heard that each hit of Astra can miss, is this true? Can each hit crit too?

Astra only consumes one weapon use in this. Each hit of astra can crit, although inversely each hit of astra can also proc an enemy's Great Shield/Holy Shield skill. Additionally, if you proc a Dual Guard during an enemy's Astra, you will proc it for all five hits (making for some rather goofy animations).

I am unsure about whether each hit can miss individually or not.

Actually it seems they show half-shots for a large chunk of the cast, but they really chopped her art down.

Aversa still has a full body shot but I guess it works for a seductress character (I'm assuming that's what she is).
