The prologue on Lunatic's not that bad. At least, if you let Fred do most of the heavy liftng. Chapter 1 on the other hand is going end up with my 3ds on the wall at this rate STOP RUSHING ME YOU CORPSE-THINGS  e: VV I beat it by letting Fred kill all the myrmidons and the mage, since he can one-shot them even on Lunatic.

I do believe Olivia has lowest priority with him though. Unless it's the other way around; I could totally be wrong. Considering how the plot goes though, it makes sense that FeMC is the best choice plotwise though. Also optimal for Lunatic, or so I hear. e: VV The most depressing thing possible. I like that character ughh.

I wouldn't mind going on hibernation till the 4th really. I can literally beat Lunatic in my sleep right now in the demo, and it's stopped being exciting.

It has Basilio and Flavia, who are rather less walking stereotype than Devdan/Danved. They're also supposed to be really cool I believe.

Iceclaw posted: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? I'd prefer not to have the plot spoiled to me, though, I just would like to know how it works gameplay-wise. The parents do fight alongside their children. Well, I've been listening to the soundtrack (since I need to hype myself up even more) and I'm really hoping that the 92 track CD makes it over internationally because it's legitimately a wonderful thing. It feels quite different from the older OSTs, with vocal (uh chanting anyone?) bits, and an emphasis on strings. http://polsy.org.uk/play/yt/?vurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DMfvY1S-j67k This is probably my favourite track so far. Polsy'd in the interest of not attracting spoilers, so seriously listen to it.

I'm friends with a dude working at gamestop, and he just explained the whole situation to me on facebook (for anyone not entirely sure what's happening). quote:mkay, so. FE:A was dated for Feb 4th on the gamestop computers So anyone getting it shipped from Gamestop is boned because that shipment date isn't going to be weirdly early. Everyone else- go hogwild.

I have to say that I'm kind of in love with the localisation, and it makes me want to email Vincent about reworking the FE12 patch since it hardly compares. Also Lucina is totally the coolest and I'm not entirely sure why I'm so sure of it but I am.

Kaidyn posted:I have a question re: supports in general. Braindead question but I didn't see an answer milling through the pages. Is the only way to gain support levels in Awakening to actively do something with a person you can support (ex support them during an attack or defense; also healing) or is it still like the old games where pairs just standing next to each other gain support? Yeah you need them to actively take actions either while paired or while adjacent to each other. Healers and dancers are a tad different in that they gain points only for whoever they act on. But if, say, Chrom kills a dude with Lissa next to him, they'll gain points regardless.

He's infinitely more of a murderbeast if you give him a dragon  I can't quite describe how much fun this game is, seriously. It's wonderful. I've finally got the hang of using the reclass system too so I'm getting ready to make my army of insane war machines. Too bad the grinding dlc isn't out yet.

TheQat posted:So this is my first FE game (aside from like an hour of FE GBA that I played to decide whether I was interested in getting this one) and I have a few questions: Uh for 1) I'd recommend picking your favorite badasses and making a small focused a-team that you can use for story missions and the harder paralogues. Also, levels don't matter as much as stats so as long as your team can match up in that department you're all good. That's one way of going at it.

I think the most "efficient" grindy method for getting skills is basically to get to level 10 in as many base classes as you want/can, and then move on to promoted classes, while never going back to the base ones. I mean, I did that for the kids after I got the hang of the process, and even Brady became a monster post getting his parent and S-rank supports. e: I have to say, I'm really looking forward to the tougher spotpass and DLC map since right now, all I have is the penultimate map to train on for supports. It gets dull after a while. SC Bracer fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Feb 7, 2013 |

Yeah, you can't use Chrom to pass down skills. It's all about grinding up the mother, in which case, one child will get screwed a little, unless you grind like a maniac. e: Galeforce is absolutely a post-game skill. No way it's worth killing your stats for it, since the extra attack is useless if you die  ...There is one thing I find amusing about this game and the level up comments. I think the characters can tell the difference between an empty level when you haven't capped any stats, and an empty level when it's because you have no stats left to gain.

Don't make skill a Flaw since a good deal of your skills will run off that stat. Though seriously I made a magic focused avatar and he still has a good enough strength growth that I can use swords just fine. I don't get it.

I was listening to the 8-4 podcast, where they talk for about ten minutes about Awakening. I think it's kind of neat that they're about as big fans of the game as anyone here.  I do wish they'd been able to talk a bit more about the actual localisation process itself, since I find that sort of chat hella interesting.

Flame112 posted:Wait, so it'll turn something like two 6/20 weapons into one 12/20? Yeah. The optimise function does about the same thing, while equipping all the characters you're fielding (and taking away equipment from the bench). I think it's pretty handy, though you do want to just look over them in case your nosferatu tome's been replaced by 3 thorons or something. e: VV Renown is more or less a "rating" of your team, and what it's done so far. A story mission, or risen encounter, gives you some renown, while the DLC and spotpass give you more. You can grab a bunch of rewards from the wireless section based on how much renown you have, and it carries over to future playthroughs.

SpaceDrake posted:Depending on the client, sometimes you have to play those sorts of cards really close to the chest because the client for this sort of project doesn't want to reveal much about their practices. I can definitely see Nintendo being like that, so the 8-4 crew may not be able to say much. Lodestar fits for the reasons given, and I don't think bolganone is so much 8-4's fault as it is Treehouse's since that's been a tome since 9. Mm I'm aware of that. Just kinda disappointed.
