You sayin' I like dubs?!?
limited supports is cooler because you need to make tactical decisions on who you pair up with who (including "do I bring this guy who isn't as good as this other guy because he can be bros with this other unit I want to do even better?")

sure you don't get as much tasty anime dialogue but that's what replaying the game/going on the internet and reading that poo poo are for

Handaxe, at D rank has 3 attack power, 70 hit, 25 uses and does normal damage to fliers.

The Iron Bow, at D rank has 6 power, 85 hit, 45 uses and does triple damage to fliers.

yeah but all axe units are swole and all bow units are wimps, so the damage balances out

also you can use hand axe man to fight other units besides fliers, and save the spot you would've spent on bowman for literally anyone else who is actually useful outside of countering one type of unit if you have the right spacing

fe14 needs to not have pair up

gently caress you pair up was a lot of fun, it just needed to be more balanced with high levels and support ranks.

if pair up is balanced all that happens is that it's the same as normal fe game except you have half as many units.

in theory pair up could work if they somehow managed to perfectly balance the stat boosts so that pairing up is sometimes advantageous and sometimes not, but there's no way they'd get it right

it still wouldnt work because a lot of the strength of pair up is being able to hide a more fragile unit, or pair a slow but powerful unit with a flyer, so unless they went back to like unit weight and move penalties i dont see it ever being remotely balanced

I think that Pair Up without Dual Attack would be fine.

Paired units should double attack every time, never dual guard, and split damage 50/50 with some skills that can mitigate, transfer or tank damage.

all of them can have kids tho at least if you get them married to male avatar

but the ones who are guaranteed to have kids from everyone are red hair chick, pegasus chick, my irl wife tharja, dancer girl, croms sister, the chick with the parasol, mage girl, other pegasus chick, dragon riding lady, rabbit woman and the dragon girl who a SA moderator would gently caress

the girl you get from a paralogue doesn't have a kid, and neither do the girls you get after the wyvern rider.

It's not really a thing. Most of those tertiary characters only have supports with the avatar for just this reason. poo poo, even Tiki only supports male avatar, Nah and Anna. Im not even sure those two barbarians from Ferox can hook up, and they're practically begging to gently caress.

Rescues are buyable fairly early, and anyone who can use Staves can use them immediately, they're E-rank. So they're the best way to grind levels for your healers

I really need to actually get around to finishing Awakening, I keep reaching points where I'm like, augh I have all these paralogues and a billion weapons I don't know what to do with and everyone needs to be reclassed but for some reason I can't seem to beat the actual story progress mission so I just give up and restart to try and get a system in place for managing stuff

I wish I hadn't gone and just looked up everything about everything to the game and just...played it without any knowledge of how it all worked like I was doing the first time, where I ended up killing Gaius because he attacked Chrom and died in one hit so I thought he was just supposed to die but come back later as a good guy

It depends on what you want to get out of it. Some dlc has exclusive skills to unlock and exclusive character cards, and others like the beach one have sexy pics of your favorite characters, but you can always look them up online. And there's always the grinding dlc but you have stated your anti grinding stance.

Also your new avatar is cool

The Future Past is really fun and really hard but without requiring min/maxing as you're kinda supposed to do it with the Gen1 characters. But you need to grind quite a bit for it. So you'll also really want Lost Bloodlines for the paragon skill that doubles XP.
