There's the Risen or SpotPass teams (must be summoned) you can challenge on the world map or the DLC maps (Particularly EXPonential Growth).
I don't recommend it though if you don't want the game to become laughably easy. Grinding definitely isn't required on Normal and later chapters will basically amount to enemies impaling themselves on your characters' weapons if you grind too much.

Hey I think Chapter 2 was where I lost my one other dead unit, well then at least the worst is possibly behind me for early game woes.
I've made a huge mistake...Unless you mean very first FE series playthrough in which case my sanity may still be intact.

Ah well, looks like I'll have to wait another week for
and the best Whitewing sister afterall.

The answer to that chapter is:
Frederick as a wall.
Rescue staff the guys on the mountain.
Use Ricken's Wind book (either on him or Miriel), Virion (with your best bow) and Chrom (using the Falchion) to kill the Dragon Knights.
Block the spawn spots if necesary.

I've played the demo, loved it, but there's 2 things I didn't like much so please answers these 2 questions:
1. Is it only in the demo where the numbers don't update when I place my Units in a forest, Fort, etc? Is this a glitch only in the demo?
2. Can you have Support Convos like the old games without pairing units?

Odd, I thought the terrain bonuses were in effect in the demo. I can't say I'd know that.
You can have supports like in the old games.
1. What glitch is that?
2. You can get generic combos on the barracs (think support convos from RD) from a random pair. So is as awful as you think. As long as the units are close, they will get extra supports. Otherwise no.

I'll be living in fear of reinforcements from now on, part of the fabled Fire Emblem experience.
Eventually I figured that
Frederick blocking that one single file path near the start and speeding the two weaker newcomers down behind him while slowly leading the enemies into my own ambush down at the bottom was better than trying to scrap on the second level of the cliff considering the boss and his cronies decide to just waltz on in, cheater, he's not supposed to move until I enter his range, Orton out of nowhere indeed.
Alas I did not anticipate the spawning spots, I guess that ties nicely in with the above quote, it also tied in with Virion's devastating demise.

Well on a replay i'll know what to do.
I got the Bride class because I am horribly girly inside and think of Utena when I hear about a bride with a sword....
Is the Dread Fighter class worth getting? My Heroes and Assassins could pretty much dominate almost every map in the game first time around.
One of the big issues I had in the game was not knowing how to reclass people once they hit level 20 of their second forms. I had Chrom at Great Lord level 20, and just reclassed him back to Great Lord level 1. I fear I made a terrible mistake there.

Dread Fighter is really good.
Heads up for us Dutchies; GameMania won't receive enough copies because Nintendo doesn't have enough stock available. My copy won't arrive until next week
It begins.

Same as the US launch I guess.
Does Nintendo really have no faith about this game?

Up to Chapter 5 right now!
It's a shame the DLC/SpotPass isn't ready right now : P

@YoshiRider & @Anteo - Well, I'm not sure if it's a glitch - the terrain bonuses work in battle but the numbers don't change on the profile of the character that I place on a type of terrain. Is this normal for this game?
Thanks for that Support answer!

Actually, that's a good plan if your just wanting to cap off your stats for a units (Chrom's end class should be Great Lord anyway).
Of course, if you wanted your unit (Chrom) to have more skills available than yeah you should have reclassed him into something else.

Which numbers? If its defence thats how its been in previous FE games (btw, in previous FE games evade changes). I guess its kind of like how equiping a sword will only show you getting 1 damage less when you're in combat with an axe user (I forget if terrain reduces magic damage).

Guh, I hate how the SpotPass doesn't come in at the same time as the DLC. Are we supposed to get the "Others" team today in NA?

I got the game from Amazon.de today.
I suppose Awakening is giving the franchise a new boost; it already happened in Japan, the US seems to like it and I guess Europe is no different. All the positive reviews are helping as well. A lot "this is my first Fire Emblem!" comments as well.
Most likely, yeah. Any minute now.

Impressive. Amazon UK have always been terrible beyond belief with launch dates for me.

I feel kinda sad that the SpotPass teams are pretty much done. Was a good reason to keep me checking the game every single day since release.
I'm all for a Nintendo All-Stars team with Link as a Swordmaster and Peach as a War Cleric haha
Edit: SpotPass finally came in, we have Mystletainn and the Others team.

Well, in Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword, when I put a character on a Fort, for example, then I go to his Character Screen and I see that the Evade and Defence has increased to reflect this.
However, in this demo, Evade and Defence stay the same as if nothing has happened - on the Character Screen (the top right of that screen, I believe). Of course, in the battle I think it does change but I'd love it if Evade and Defence changed on the actual Character Screen.
Oh, I don't think that's a glitch. It seems to be like that on purpose, as I believe I recall it being like that in the Japanese version.

I did exactly that to everyone in the game and had an amazing game experiece. what I'm trying to say is that you are nor making any mistake, but in future playthroughs it wouldn't hurt to experiment a bit with reclassing units.
I did a bit of fiddling with my FeMU, and wound up making her stats LOWER as a result. Cue me facepalming and restarting.

Thank you! Dammit
I know it's a super-minor thing, but I'm kinda miffed about this. I loved those number changes in the previous games. Oh well. BTW, I've only played Lunatic Mode - maybe that's the reason... or not.I have received my copy today. So excited I haven't played a Fire Emblem game since Shadow Dragon. I just put it on my 3DS from the starting intro movie I was blown away. Yusuke Kozaki did an amazing job on the new art style of the game, it's also familiar from the no more heroes games that I love so much.
Ok now I better go and play some. I almost forgot to mention that I received a pre order bonus with my copy. It was this beautiful artbook. Enjoy.

I notice this on my Normal and Lunatic files, so I don't think difficulty has anything to do with it.

Well that's something normal if it's your first experience but don't worry because it is not game breaking.

Yep, that's always what I do when taking the terrain bonuses into account. At least the numbers are small single digits, otherwise I think it'd be more of a hassle.

Noooooooooooooo. Ill head to town tommorow to check out some other stores like Saturn and BartSmit. hope they dont dissapoint. btw do you know any Dutch stores that also has the Artbook with the copy of the game in the Netherlands?
