I'm probably going to get the bundle but oh god I don't know who's good and terrible and class growths trip me the gently caress up and bluh. It will be hellish. And wonderful. Also playing without savestates? I might actually have to restart!

I know I'm a bit late to the discussion about character death, but I personally think something decent might be to do a route split, and actually force you to divide forces. Have the player choose which people to take on which route, make one of them harder, one easier, et cetera et cetera. And then out of the blue kill everyone on one of the two routes. No way to avoid it, no way to get the units back, but kill everyone on the hard route and be done with it.

Goddammit, I ordered from best buy, and it only has ground shipping. I'll see if my EB games has it, and then cancel appropriately if so. In Toronto, for reference.

The Fisher King posted:The only "hack" on the file is a recolor patch that was only supposed to affect combat sprites. Interestingly, there was an issue with a previous version of the patch which was (somehow) causing high crit procs (but not high crit% in the display) and absurd changes to the base stats, all became much higher than normal. Vanessa for example capped speed at level 11. However, the patch was updated and a new file created so I thought the issue resolved. this is making me suspicious of all my units now... Which patch would this be? I'm unaware of it, and I somewhat pride myself on being up to date with most GBAFE Hacking stuff.

I ordered the bundle because I don't have a 3Ds from Best Buy and I haven't heard anything from them. It'll get here when it gets here though. I just hope it's soon. It hasn't even shipped and I'm going to be pissed if it takes a week to get here.

So I've been listening to the OST - what's the difference between normal tracks and tracks with the ~fire label? Is it just that they're shorter? Because that's what they sound like to me. Also kinda getting a FFTA vibe off of some of them.

God my Chrom has been getting the shittiest levelups. He has 10/2/13/13/11/7/3 at level goddamn 12. I'm really happy there. Besides that, I went +skl/-def, so I'm reclassing my avatar to something with defense for a while. Knight has lovely skills though.

So I'm at chapter 16 and my Avatar is a level 2 Grandmaster. Which sounds fine, except when you consider that I took her through level 15 as both an assassin and a Dark Pegasus. So yes, silencer+pass+lightning speed, to say nothing of the fact she's already hit her promoted magic and skill caps. Obviously she barely gains experience at all, but since I paired Chrom and my Avatar together, both Morgan and Lucina are absolutely incredible. And Morgan has galeforce, which has saved my rear end more times than I can count. I think I might have overtrained her just a tad.

So my Morgan has literally maxed all of his (unpromoted) stats. He's working his way up through barbarian right now since I'm almost completely out of cash and despoil + royal weapon does wonders for your money supply. But yeah. Seeing lots of empty levelups at the moment.

Cake Attack posted:He's Olivia's son, and while he starts as a Mercenary he'll always inherit the Myrmidon option. His map is brutal. I'm playing on casual and I had to restart 4 times. Seriously.

Color Printer posted:I just did Kjelle's Paralogue and I managed to do it with nobody dying. But jesus christ it took forever. Are all the kid Paralogues this hard? Hah! Hers was by far the easiest. Try Inigo's or, what was it, Cynthia's? There was one absolutely brutal one, but Inigo's is by far the worst to do without anyone dying. For me, at any rate, it took 4 or 5 resets, and I'm on casual so I don't reset if anyone but Chrom/MU dies. I tried Severa's, it just wasn't happening. Still have Nah's and hers left to do, and then I'm done all the children's recruitment missions at 32 hours in and on chapter 18! Also Gerome is kind of a shithead. Fake Edit: Do we really need to spoiler the kids' names?

Veev posted:I liked doing Yarne's and just not siding with either army. It's absolutely not worth it you get like an extra armor killing or beast killing weapon and that's it, but having so many units coming to kill you is pretty fun. ...drat I didn't even realize you could do that. Kinda disappointed I didn't now, and I imagine if you don't that might actually edge out Inigo's for most difficult. Also I kinda trained Sully and flat out didn't train Gaius, so Kjelle was kinda fragile, but it was still pretty easy given that her starting class lets her shrug off the two bow users easily enough. That, and there were actual unpromoted enemies. Which was stunning.

Andronian posted:So I know about the stat boosts that units get when paired up, the game makes that pretty clear. What I don't know is whether those stat boosts apply when it's just the two units in adjacent tiles supporting each other? I realize they have the dual strike chance in that situation but do they also get the stat bonuses? I can confirm that they do not.

Zore posted:I know that Lucina's support with her brothers is generic and mostly involves screwing around with the Falchion, and Morgan has a generic catch-all sibling support. Even generic supports are personalized to some extent though, and most are written well enough that it feels like a unique support until you encounter it on another character. Heh. You think IntSys cares about 'balance'.

Shadow Ninja 64 posted:If you absolutely need a Second Seal right now, couldn't you just save-scum using those Rift Doors? There's a list! http://www.serenesforest.net/fe13/shop_guest.html Also holy poo poo. I went to the mall today to pick up some slutty t shirts and I got a ton of streetpass teams on my DS and can I just say thank GOD for lethality? My Avatar has 71 HP, 42 Strength, 40 Magic, 44 Skill, and 40 speed (and close to maxed everything else), and while no one else is quite up to her level, they're generally only 6-7 points off in offensive stats and 4-5 off in defensive. And I've had to restart three times on casual facing this one streepass team. The guy has two avatars on his team, one's presumably streetpass, and both of htem have everything but defensive stats maxed. there's a few other peeps in there too, all child characters, and they're all close to their caps as well. The children all have poo poo weapons, thank god (the ones that deal one damage), but dealing with an effective 49 speed 40 strength Cynthia and a 58 atk Gerome (with a ladle!) is ridiculous. Also forged levin swords + astra is a bitch. Still going through it again, but this time bar my MU or Chrom dying I should be okay.

It's a bitch to grind without DLC - up to you, but depending on the mother it may not be worth it. Since Sumia can reclass to dark flier herself, so can Lucina, so she can get it herself. In other news, my entire team is filled with the kids now. I have Chrom, my MU, and that's about it honestly for first gen.

Is it weird that I almost think that Hard(or Lunatic)/Casual almost gives me more tactical options? Because I don't twist myself into insane contortions trying to keep everyone alive, which tends to result in usually only one or two ways through a given map, I find that I have more options. "Oh, Lissa, I need you to keep healing Chrom so he doesn't die, Miriel, go block that forged sliver-sword hero, would you? That's a girl."

Zore posted:Yeah, be aware of two things. They are hugely variable in difficulty, Kjelle's and Owain's are cakewalks. Brady's is a nightmare. Also if you can beat the difficult ones the main story will be stupid easy for about 10 chapters. I actually didn't find Brady's too bad, though I had enough units tough enough to block off the center. Lost a few of the villagers though.

Given that the AI doesn't actually seem to exercise caution, well, ever, letting her even EXIST on a map without hiding behind someone else is asking for her to get one- or two-shotted. I somehow completely overlooked grinding her up on the marth DLC or a spotpass team with a cleric, so it took me a while but she ended up being one of my best adult characters.
