SpaceDrake posted:I can legitimately not tell if this is sarcasm or not. Maybe because this name is only copyrighted in it's full form? But yeah, that's a pretty awesome change. Now waiting till April is going to be hard. V This I kind of agree too. But on the other hand, this means my dream of fielding an all wyvern and pegasus knight army will come to fruition. Death from above!

Evil Canadian posted:This will be my first Fire Emblem game because I was always turned off by stupid perma-death and now with the option to be rid of that, I am interested to play. Stat caps. Different classes have different caps for various stats. Some are speedier, other hit harder. Also, the tactician only class starts out as a physical unit, with presumably higher strength and lower magic stats as well as caps, while the Dark Knight is a promotion from mage. Also, the Dark Knight is a mounted unit, which give certain benefits (move farther, can remove after acting), and drawback (severely handicapped movement on certain grounds, vulnerability certain weapons). Considering the importance of stats in that game, it's not a minor thing.

Momomo posted:How is being an all around badass worse than being badass in one particular thing? I think if you need to be in a single class to have your character intact, you were already pretty terrible to begin with. It's mostly a question of the unit's character being reflected in their class: Pent, the studious, erudite Magician General was a Sage. Karel, who lived to test his swordmanship against the most dangerous fos was a swordmaster. Asthol the spy was a thief.

Momomo posted:Thing is though, Fire Emblem is generally pretty lax about character roles in the story. A band of assassins aren't entirely the Assassin class, Pirates are thieves even though they aren't the thief class, the General is only a name, etc. Just think of it as the character adapting to the situation, it's not as if they were never their original class. I hear you. But certain characters only make sense in a certain class, or category of classes. And yes, the general's name always bugged me. I think Karla in FE7 poked fun at that, too.

RuBisCO posted:I think one important distinction to make about Awakening's class change system is that each character can only class change into a limited set of classes based on their personality. For example, one character's gimmick is that he has an incredible lack of presence. He can class change into a thief. That's actually pretty nifty. The next few months are going to be pretty rough until Awakening is released in Europe.

FrickenMoron posted:Its kind of sad how Path of Radiance sold so poorly, its a great game. I guess the GC wasnt that popular either in Japan?

Usual formula is, for hitting: Skill*2+Luck+Weapon accuracy+support VS Terrain + Speed*2+Luck+ Support. Crit is Skill/2+Weapon bonus+ Support - Luck of the foe. Damage is might of the weapon + Either strength or Magic +Support vs Ennemy Defence or Magic Defence (AKA Resistance) + Support + Terrain.

There is something I don't understand, though: Is it like in FE4, where there is a time gap between playing as parents and as children and the parents don't fight with their kids for whatever reason, or can both generation fight together? I'd prefer not to have the plot spoiled to me, though, I just would like to know how it works gameplay-wise. V Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. VV Cheers.

cheetah7071 posted:Speaking of breakable weapons, I wonder if that's one of the features on the chopping block in coming years. It feels sort of like weapon weight--it's been around forever and adds some amount of depth but ultimately isn't really essential and I probably wouldn't miss it if they removed it. I really hope they don't. Having some measure of stocks to manage that's not just the healing potions you use every once in a while is what differentiate Fire Emblem from other SRPG series. Well, that and permadeath, which I hope they won't cut as well (though I'm fine with casual mode, per see, I just don't want them to start striping away iconic features and end up with Advance Wars in medieval time).

Francis posted:In earlier games, high early growth would slam into low unpromoted caps, blessed units would still have exploitable weaknesses, and units with capped stats would at least be threatened by endgame enemies, but frankly Awakening resembles NIS shovelware more than Fire Emblem, so none of that is the case. FE5 and 6 are not the rest of the franchise. FE4 didn't had anything ressemblance balance, whether in it's weapons or it's characters. FE7 was arguably one of the most balanced game. FE8 was Awakening 0.5. FE9 had Ike, among other asskickers. FE10 had a whole slew of badasses that were nearly invulnerables, save maybe for the final boss and a couple of bosses in the endgame.

Lotish posted:The only game I can think of where this isn't true is Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together for the PSP. Archers can strike most of the map any round for free and gain points for special attacks/spells (some of which were crazy good) in the process, while wizards had to wait or burn items for points and had fixed range. Not helped by the fact magic sucks all kind of asses in that game. But yeah, Archers are arguably the best class in the game.

Zephiel can very well die on his second turn. And he's definitely cold meat on turn 6, when the mercenary get to him, because, ontrary to the Fighter, he won't miss.

Judging by the character roster, there doesn't seem to be any change. I do think they'll change Long'qu's name for the french version, though because it litteraly sounds like "Long rear end" in french.

yellowcar posted:I never said for a complete rehaul and rebuild of the game. I don't know where you guys are getting this from. Just saying comparatively, slightly modifying something couldn't be as time/resource consuming as rebuilding and restructuring from the ground up. Ah, but is it "from the ground up" when you can scrounge up things from other games you made? Compare with IS, who had litteraly nothing of the sort and would actually had to start from the gound up.
