Evil Canadian posted:That said, I have a question: What exactly are the key differences between classes? From what I have seen there is no class specific abilities, you just walk beside dude and swing. If any given class can use the same weapon as another class, why should I pick one over the other? I assume mounted/flying classes move further and some stats might be different but other than that I am clueless. Someone will be able to answer these questions much better than I can, but: there are huuuge differences between classes. A knight will learn skills inherent to knights, while mages will get something else entirely. Also, class determines what weapons you can equip - there's nobody who can wield everything. Edit: Cake Attack, can you maybe add something to the OP please to explain how leveling up determines stat increases, and why everyone should be excited for the phenomenon of empty levels?

I straight up made a few diagrams to figure out things like pairing people off, who's being a magical or physical fighter, and just how many male children can get Lightning Speed shoved on them. It was a helpful exercise in taking the edge off anticipation, for me.  Zurai posted:It's possible they increased growth rates. We already know the Avatar's HP growth at least is increased since it's possible to get +2 HP levels in the demo if you take the HP blessing. Growth rates this time are pretty nice. You can play around with the SF growth rate calculator to investigate.  Please note: that page has every possible character and every possible class for each character in the drop-down menus, so it is very spoiler-laden. Take care in clicking

That sounds too handy to have in-game, but here is a list showing all the skills, what class learns them, and when they're acquired.

Oh dang, good thing Artix reposted that, actually, because I forgot about the DLC skills rule wanted to try to pass on Love Cry/Rally/Hoot (or whatever they're calling the first skill the Bride class gets) from one or twomothers to their respective sons. I just really want the second generation kids to have skills from classes they're barred from entering. Also, I am definitely in the category of people who got an XL for this game. I have two other games at the moment, and I'll seek out new titles in the future, but Awakening is what made me go 3DS in the first place.

I got an email today saying my Best Buy preorder was ready, then I got another one about two hours later informing me no, it wasn't, we're sorry for the inconvenience. I'm guessing someone messed up somewhere and those emails just shouldn't have been sent out, and the 4th is still the date to go for. I'll be calling the store tomorrow to ask for clarification.

Well, I hope Nintendo doesn't gently caress up as badly with the digital release, because both preorders I put in with Best Buy a while ago (the second was when the first one failed) have been canceled and squashed. The customer support rep I called on the phone said FE:A is basically sold out in my entire state. Noice!

So has anyone else been giving Henry all the super-critty magic (like Ruin and some of the tomes you get from sparkly tiles) to hear all the insane things he says when he busts out a critical hit? The way he says "I'm gonna kill you!" so gleefully always makes me lose it. And one of his post-fight lines is "Yay, blood!" He's my favorite mage by far.

Having Cordelia marry anyone results in an ill-tempered brat. Granted, an ill-tempered brat who can kill everything and was part of my final chapter party, but still. I don't know where the terrible personality comes from. If your Avatar marries Cordelia, you'll also get a neat kid to balance things out.

Yeah, life in an apocalyptic timeline made the second generation all crazy as heck. Pairing them up is even more fun than their parents, cause you don't have to worry about how the kids will turn out! Owain, go out with Cynthia - you both like that heroic stuff. Brady, you should be seeing Noire, since you're both sickly people. Inigo, you flip out at your dad in an embarrassing way and get on all the women's nerves - marry Severa! Beautiful. Gerome, you can't be with anyone, you're too antisocial. Go hang out with Ricken on the bench for people never getting married.

Louisgod posted:That was the plan but do the stats from the extra levels not carry over when you reclass them? This is one part of it: Tae posted:Are you asking about why certain stats went down when you reclassed? Characters have stats, then the bases of a class added to make the totals. - and also, caps vary between classes, so one uncapped stat that was really high as a dancer might turn out to be capped when she's in another class, especially a base one. But the game will remember the higher stat for when she's a dancer or any other class with a higher limit on that stat.

SC Bracer posted:So having Chrom father Inigo results in this wonderful line: "I've raised a philanderer!" Poor guy. He's so normal and then it turns out all their children are completely nuts. Oh dear. All his potential kids, aside from the guaranteed one, are just absolutely nuts. Being the hero is hard sometimes.  Inigo's C supports with either Lon'qu or Virion as his father are amazing, however. Two extremes in dealing with women, both ashamed of their ridiculous son. I don't like how his B and A ones go, because his reaction is basically, word for word, that "No YOU Shut The gently caress Up, Dad" thread tag we have. And then whoever is his dad in that support acquiesces and is like "Uhh fine whatever let's not lose each other again, freaky future-son."

If you're embarking on the pet project of "Make Frederick Good", let him get to level five as a Great Knight so he picks up Luna for better killin', then reclass as desired. I like to eventually make him a Griffon Rider so he can give his kid Deliverer. Does Frederick tend to end up with a crappy Luck stat for anyone else? If so, why did he get assigned a bad growth in that regard? I can understand the plot reasons for characters like Cherche, the dark mages, and Libra, but what sad background does Frederick have? Does looking after Chrom and Lissa suck that bad?

It was miserable even getting him to level 5 as a Sniper, and then once he learned the skill, I was like "gently caress it" and just demoted him to Cavalier so he could then be a Paladin. Did he look goofy as a Sniper? Cause on my second playthrough I was like, All right! Virion, Imma do right by you and make you a real good arrow shooter, instead of turning you into a Dark Knight like last time! But then when he promoted to Sniper his armor made him look like he had a beer belly and a beer back and his crazy knee boots looked like they would cut him if he took just one misstep, and it all looked way worse than his base Archer duds. His alternative as a Bow Knight, which I checked out, gave him...culottes... I'm sorry IS hates your class so much, Virion. Count Bleck posted:I plan on using Olivia on this playthrough.

Second: Hard-Classic because I've played 7, 8 and 12 on various amounts of normal/hard, so it was time for me to grow up and play on challenging stuff. Currently: Hard-Classic, again, but with no grinding and no pairing up. About to tackle Paralogue 1 (Donny boy!). Forging a nice Bronze Lance for him first.

Hey, thread! Here's a question for those of you who have managed to get Chrom to marry the nameless Maiden: How does having her for a mother end up affecting Lucina's growth rates and starting stats? When an actual character is Lucina's other parent, the game averages things across the board, but what sort of attributes does the Village Maiden have? Zeroes for everything? (Ouch.) Or maybe some low token stats and growth rates here and there? SF reports that she contributes the following to Lucina's stat caps: Str +2, Mag +1, Skl +2, Spd +2, Lck +2, Def +0 and Res +0. However, going to the growth rate calculator and plugging in "Maiden" brings up a row of eight question marks. Anyway, if anyone hasn't gone down this route yet, I will try this and report back.

I'm all about the Avatar Ending (and that last cutscene at the end, ahhhhhh it's so perfect, why don't they let it show up in the cutscene theater after you've seen it ). It makes much more sense plotwise.But the Chrom Ending has everyone saying happy stuff that's in tune with their various characters, so to me it's better, writing-wise. The Avatar choice has everyone lamenting your death, which I find a little hard to believe. I benched you straight from the beginning, Ricken. I don't think you'll miss me. Say'ri, we never said much more than "Hello" to each other once or twice, you're probably way more torn up over your brother than my death. Let's be real, here.

If I could get it on everyone, I would probably turn the battle animations back on for even grindy Spotpass fights. (Right now they're on just for story chapters and some DLC.) Actually, considering how so many characters have eventual access to it via Myrmidon and Thief, that might just be a future project for me. Team Lethality. I will call it...."The Red and The Black". Also, here are two things you may have seen elsewhere, thread, but they are pretty good, so take a look. The first is a character popularity poll over on the Nintendo 3DS Facebook page. edit: According to this tweet, the top ten will go on to cover photo glory! In one giant medley? Fairly exciting stuff! Second: Fire Emblem: Awakening - the text game! "You assemble a team of your finest warriors, plus Chrom.
