My main experience is in 7 and 8 so this sounds like an insane thing to say. Is the unit and scenario design just really different in this game?

Rabbi Raccoon posted:I remember in the first Fire Emblem on GBA I got an absolutely insane Rebecca once. 5 stats going up per level was fairly normal for her and she slaughtered everything that looked at her funny. Best archer ever The problem is that scenario design in 7 was mostly "large numbers of melee units" with some 1-2 range units scattered in. Fliers weren't especially common, and units with low avoid and higher defence than res were common. Hence, an archer would kill one enemy on player phase and then doing nothing on enemy phase, whereas a mercenary would kill one enemy on your phase and five on the enemy phase, and a mage would be even more likely to rack up tons of enemy phase kills. Having a high skill two range unit isn't great against a bunch of 1 range mooks who you could get 100 hit on with mediocre skill. The same issue happened in 8, where snipers got an ability that sometimes made them hit the next shot l regardless of their hit chance, but they had high skill so their hit was always 90+ anyway and usually just 100.

I feel like I remember some pre-7 games having jaw droppingly poor growth units, like nothing over 40% and most things under 35%. Doesn't Jagen roll with like a bunch of zeros and some fifteens? E: it was actually four 10%s and then all zeros in the original, good lord. Taciturn Tactician fucked around with this message at 11:51 on Nov 24, 2016 |

What kind of a sadist would leave that in the remake after so many games where you never have to let anyone die ever?

LordHippoman posted:This was added specifically for the remake. That's even more ridiculous. Also outside of really hating a unit or trying to be canon, why would you not sacrifice the literal trap character? Smart of them to introduce not-Jagen to give his speech.

Miacis posted:Between this and the infamous side chapters requirements, I think the dev team wanted to try and go back to the original game's philosophy that it's okay to lose units, and players should try to make their own story, instead of going for a perfect ending. It's pretty telling that a tutorial would have a house telling you to accept your losses, and reward you not once but twice for having dead units. Yeah the first officially released in English Fire Emblem literally grades you, and survival is one of the grades. If your grade is low enough the game openly mocks you in the epilogue. quote:(Your Tactician's name)- Suspected Mind

It's weird to think that you have a pegasus knight who potentially will get wrecked by mages, considering they're basically spellproof in later games. You mentioned pegasus knight bonuses, incidentally, does reclassing change your growths? I imagine it changes your caps.

Keldulas posted:The save point system is what I think is Shadow Dragon's best idea, flat out, and is a feature I'm SORELY disappointed has not made a reappearance in later games. Especially with poo poo like how long Awakening's or Fate's maps can get. Using saves as a resource, especially when it takes a unit's time to use it is great. I unironically like having to restart the whole map if I gently caress up but I might be a lunatic. It's also basically the only thing that stops arenas being completely broken, if I could save after I cleared a map and then just grind on the arena it would be a lot safer. I will admit that screwing something up on the last turn of a map that took like an hour can be a little infuriating though.

What insane backwards world is this where dark mages are faster and less powerful instead of the axe users of the magical sphere? Since you said you gave hin a fire tome I'm assuming magic weapons triangle doesn't exist? Also, it's worth noting that the triple damage against certain units is tripling before defense is applied, as opposed to crits which multiply after defence, which is a very important distinction against knights.

LordHippoman posted:There was also a "Wind Sword" in FE7, but to get it, you had to have the special edition of Mario Kart: Double Dash with the bonus disc, put that in a Gamecube, and transfer data from that to your GBA with Fire Emblem in it via a link cable. It was the most bizarre thing, and I still did it on my original FE7 cartridge.
