Shopto just shipped my copy yesterday, can't freaking wait. I even got an XL to fully enjoy this awesome game

Guys, I've 'lost' two characters early game, but both have referenced withdrawal from the battlefield as actually opposed to death, what's up with that? Early game shenanigans?

Also, do the battles get big later on?

Oh, and did anyone find that critical gif?

 

[jepense]

Downloading now. FE is one of my favorite series, so I'm expecting great things!

Just pretend they lost an arm and leg.
Missing limbs = can't fight = can't use in a party = basically death

The maps? Yup and with more units.

I'd like to know what this is.

Doesn't seem like it.

Yes, no more teams at all. It'd be a nice surprise to get an Others 2 though... it shouldn't be hard to implement considering how they're all just avatars with custom stats and skills, and old art for portraits. On the other hand, the Spotpass notification updates have had some pretty big mistakes before in their descriptions, and this would be just an implication, so that line most likely doesn't mean anything.

Aww, thanks for answering.

Are you playing on Casual? If not, then... IDK. :|

oh yeah casual... well can't help on that one. Maybe that's the answer.

Never touching Casual unless you threatened or bribed me with monies.

No? Classic Hard, no way would I play casual.

I lost the Mage lady and she was like 'lol gonna withdraw', so....

 

[Kincaido]

TWILT's hand is quite.. uhh... huge.

Y'know what they say about people with big hands....

Spoiler

big feet

 

[mandiller]

Can you change the difficulty settings on the fly? So if I choose the medium difficulty can I knock it down to easy later on if I'm finding it too hard?

Mother and main story characters don't actually "die"

You can't.

Good man. Then there you go, just refer back to my old post

Nope. Have to start over if you want to change difficulties and the classic/casual modes.

 

[mandiller]

Ahh damn. I'm planning to play on newcomer mode and normal difficulty. Does the difficulty naturally ramp up towards later levels or is the game pretty much a cake walk for the average player on normal?

 

[SilverLunar]

Owain is my husbando, STAY AWAY.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

First order of business come May 9th is to buy this. BritGAF, where's the best place to get it in terms of price? A £25-30 price would be sweeet.

 

[Soulhouf]

Perhaps you should create another thread for that discussion.
I was thinking this one would be spared.
Oh well *sigh*

None of the female characters who can have children, or male characters who have any role in the main story after joining your team have death quotes, just retreat quotes. If you're playing on Classic, they still become unavailable though and you won't be able to use them anymore.

 

[ohlawd]

Sadly, it gets easier no matter what difficulty you're on even without factoring in DLC.

When DLC gets included in, oh mah gawd you can beat this game with your eyes closed, hands behind your back while getting a foot massage.

See ya.

The only character that i lost so far is the Troubadour Ojou-chan in the early chapters, She had a similar "sorry, gotta withdraw" message.

Though i am at chapter 16 and i didnt see her since...

 

[Wiseblade]

Wait, so the Constitution character stat, Weight weapon stat and Rescue action are all gone?

 

[chaosblade]

Pair up replaced rescue, though it works differently so you can't hit-and-hide. But constitution and weapon weight were removed in FE12 and were not brought back for this game.

 

[javac]

Never played Fire Emblem before, the demo was my first time and I enjoyed it so I got myself this!

Gonna play it soon! Too many exams

 

[SilverLunar]

Any way to import the art book?

Very nice. Yeah, the demo was what sold me too.

I definitely won't miss Con and Weight, but I've always liberally abused Rescue in the past. It's going to be weird adjusting to not having it.

 

[ohlawd]

EU cover for FE:A is not good, man. Look at it, it ain't even full screen.

Jelly at the artbook though. I didn't get mine months back. Stupid eb, probably forgot it on the way there.

 

[TWILT]

Aww, that Cherche pic makes me Hnnnng everytime.

[dakkumauji]

Man, you work fast.

Yay we reached OT2.

Can't wait for the waifu wars in OT3~

 

[javac]

Any way to import the art book?

It was a pre-order bonus Maybe eBay if people put them up?

I also got another similar art book with the 5 disc soundtrack I imported from CDJapan which I recommend you all do!

I used it a lot too, especially against boss units. But oddly enough I had almost no trouble adjusting to it's absence in Awakening. Might be easier than you think.

Constitution was kicked out in the first DS FE game, FE11.

Weapon weight was kicked out in FE12.

They also switched out/kicked out the weapon weight and constitution relationship for attack speed starting in FE9 onwards.

I didn't realise the EU box-art had a lot less on it hmmm. But still it's Fire Emblem! It wasn't even a year ago Reggie was all hush about it, at least we got it in the west

The artbook is pretty nice, the EU one is hardback!

I Kinda want to have it in English :[ Unless there isn't anything extra (text wise) in it i might import it from CDJapan.

 

[Rogue Agent]

Is this like other games where some characters are not very good overall, or is every single character good in their own way?

And looks like Weight has been removed.

[peanutbutterlatte]

My previous experience was only Sacred Stones via Ambassador, going from that to this was pretty mind-blowing. It's so stream-lined and gorgeous looking.

 

[Conor 419]

Also, one of my characters just doesn't have a weapon, what's up with that?

 

[SilverLunar]

Speaking of useful characters, When is the best time to level up Donnel? he is over lvl 20 and still a villager.

 

[Wiseblade]

Vaike? Another character joins the battle in a turn and "finds" the axe.

 

[TWILT]

Who? If it's Vaike, he's supposed to have no weapon. It's part of a mini trade tutorial in chapter 2.

Speaking of useful characters, When is the best time to level up Donnel? he is over lvl 20 and still a villager.

You should probably reclass him to Mercenary right now. Level 20 is more than good enough.

 

[dakkumauji]

Class change him after level 15, where he learns his last villager skill.

Or anytime afterwards once he starts capping everything.

You can also class change him at 30 right into his promoted classes if you are willing to stick with that horrible speed cap of 19.

Everyone always says change at 15 for his last skill but his 2nd skill is so useless. The bolded should be the answer everytime. It just so happens he starts capping at around that level so I guess it's more convenient to say reclass at lvl 15 when he learns his 2nd skill.

19 speed cap, what a beast. With that 66% Armsthrift proc.

 

[javac]

Well I had a flick through the book and apart from a little intro on the first page the rest of the pages are just images with no text like the one I posted above with character poses, sketches , some poster-art etc with the only text is the name of the character in English and a signature.

Another gaffer posted a few pics of it here.

Here's the soundtrack I got with a glimpse of the book you get with it.

I think the Japanese Soundtrack art book just has the track-listing in Japanese in regards to text.

It's 2am so if you want I'll take some more pics of them both tomorrow!

 

[chaosblade]

Donnel should be reclassed to Mercenary ASAP. It has better growths and class base stats than villager. There is literally no reason to keep him as a villager beyond level 15, and I'd argue even Underdog isn't worth not relcassing at 10, since Donnel really doesn't need it.

What constitutes as a spoiler? I think that gets difficult in this game since one gameplay mechanic is sort of a story spoiler. But I think everyone already knows about it by now anyway.

They abolished Weight and Constitution, and in turn, Attack Speed. Now doubling is just Speed >5.

5 inclusive.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Have fun guys and girls. You're gonna love this game.

Should be >=5.

Ah, yeah. Meant to put that.

Nah, Underdog is neato. On early levels +20 dodge is nothing to sneeze at.
