I kind of wonder if at one poitn in development, maybe really early on when they were considering what it'd actually be, TMS did have a calendar system. You can see how the game would fit really easily onto a persona-esque scaffolding I'm glad they didnt though because it keeps the game really streamlined. I will say while I love the game & always recommend it, I hope that 1. you are okay with a game where it is entirely japanese and none of the battle dialog is translated unless it gets a dialog box 2. you are okay with a game that is extremely anime. 3. you weren't expecting an insightful critique of the entertainment industry I've also had a few friends bounce off the battle system since it didn't really engage them in the way they wanted, so ymmv and all that

Oh, wonderful. the other DLC paralogue is also a map that drops a completely unreasonable amount of reinforcements on you all at once, from every direction. and i have absolutely no clue how to handle them this time since it's also a "protect the NPC" mission!

If you're talking about Yuri's mission, that has an exploit. It's very specific and dumb, but it makes the map beatable.

Apparently that strategy for The Cursed Relic chapter is to kite the Duke around the map by putting someone just barely outside his move+talk range while you clean up all of the other units, then position yourself for the reinforcement wave and let the Duke trigger it.

My strategy for that paralogue was Striding a bunch of fliers so they could kill any thieves before they reached the duke (and transformed). But I have no idea how viable that is on Maddening

that works fine. i only got two monsters transformed here. the problem is when the reinforcements spawn and all rush you from literally every corner of the map, there's just too many enemies that are too powerful on maddening for you to effectively crow control them without excessive preparation, especially since the monsters are probably still kicking around. on the plus side, not triggering the reinforcements turns out to be incredibly easy. the duke needs to be within two spaces of an allied unit for it to happen.

yeah ok after looking up what exactly the reinforcement trigger is that paralogue went by swimmingly. still, it left a pretty bad taste in my mouth when combined with the other DLC one. it really feels like neither of these maps was properly playtested for maddening since you pretty much need to completely subvert the obvious intended strategy and instead play the most boring turtle game imaginable.

by the way, i'm doing an archer byleth on this playthrough and she's just amazing. like, byleth is always good but how would you like it if your unit with the best stats also had casual 1-4 range? she bypasses so many roadblocks on maddening by just deleting enemies from way far away before they can blink, let alone counterattack. i'm so glad 3H retained some of gaiden's archer ideas after SoV reintroduced them. if the series ever goes back to 2-range locked archers i'm going to be very mad.

It'd just be nice if next game they put 2 & 2 together that maybe instead of giving everyone close counter as a skill that you just...make bows 1-2 range to begin with...

I like that though. You need to have *some* drawback to having massive range, and sacrificing a skill slot for close counter is as good as any.

You only get the added range when you're in the 3 designated classes (ARcher, Sniper, bow Knight), so I think there's still merit to having innate 1-2 range while the specialty classes get +1 or +2 with slightly ehhhh growths.

Ok just started playing FE Blazing Blade, its my 2nd FE game after Awakening. There are few concepts I don't understand so far like Trv stat, aid, constitutes, rescue and affinities. Don't remember any of this in Awakening.

you should look some of that stuff up, or look up the old manual. because i'm pretty sure the game never goes particularly into detail about all the mechanics. does it have a guide option?

Don't remember any of this in Awakening. Affinities ties into support. Different characters' affinities influence the bonuses they give. Constitution is used for speed calculations alongside a weapon's Weight. So if you wanted to use say...Fimbulventer which is a 12 weight tome and you had a constitution of 8. Then your speed penalty is -4 Rescue works with Constituion & Aid. If your aid is higher than their con, you can Rescue them. The Rescuer will take on some stat penalties while holding the other. Con/Aid can only be raised with promotion or Body Rings. Aid goes up alongside con.

Someone might correct me, but IIRC it's due to the True Hit.

I'm pretty sure both Awakening and Blazing Blade both use the same "average of two numbers" for their RNG systems. It was Fates that had the weird mix between one number and two numbers.

Wark Say posted:Someone might correct me, but IIRC it's due to the True Hit. Awakening also has true hit. It's because the formula for avoid is different in FE7. In FE7 it's speed x 2 + luck. In Awakening, it's speed x 1.5 + luck x 0.5. So you dodge more because you just have a higher avoid number.

is there a better feeling in 3H than when you get your entire squad to level 20 simultaneously and get to promote all of them into advanced classes? I say there is not. especially when i've been raising most of them in really weird directions that don't take advantage of their growths which means i get to have those meaty class change bonuses and everyone finally becoming actually good instead of barely usable.

I had made Gauis very heavy on dodge with his luck+speed stats and traits but he still got hit quite often.

Also if you’re trying to dodgetank you’re usually trying to do it on pillars and forests, and defensive terrain got nerfed hard after FE8 since everything but thrones give like +10 until Echoes.

I think I have a problem. I just remembered that bernie has a preference for weeding/rubble clearing (the group task that raises heavy armor skill) and immediately felt a powerful need to start a new playthrough where I make her the tankiest tank that ever lived. Nevermind that she has weaknesses in both the skills required for fortress knight lol you'll never catch me putting people in the class they actually want to go into

So far the normal campaign on Lyn's is so easy definitely gonna have to replay this on hard after I get through all the characters. There is so many axe wielding enemies and the first two units you get Kent/Sain can dual wield right from + they are mounted. It's like having two mini Frederick at start. The music is awesome and the sprite works is on the characters is great. Also a bigger fan of this older artstyle for the character design.

It's designed as a tutorial since it was most of the worlds introduction to the series.
