I'm gonna "use" Tiki until my dick breaks.
I don't get why people complained about FE Fates's character design or story and then play this shit. Engage is so ugly it should be illegal.
Engage is literally Fates 2. I don't mind the anime style myself, but the issue are the disgusting clothing and armor designs. The OG characters that appear as Emblems, like OP's pic, look great though - and anyone saying they're not faithful to FE purely because of how anime they look, is a deluded idiot.
I don't like how flat and smooth and vaguely feminine and nu-anime Sigurd's face looks. But I don't think I could expect anything else in the modern era. His original sprite in FE4 looked kind of dogshit anyway.
The rest look great, though.
The original artist was literally a bishie manga artist wasn't she? If she was still with us, she would be proud to see him now.
bishie faces used to have really well defined features. the genre has degenerated. (see also the new LoGH)
Eltshan's Heroes art is the only thing that scratches the itch for me.
So you're saying that I can't use anything to win the game? That sounds moronic, OP.
Tiki is quite literally a P2W option. Gatekeeping over Sigurd is moronic, though.
If you do Tiki's map as soon as you unlock it, then you've earned the right to use the busted ring.
FRICK that map.
When do you unlock it? When do you unlock and of the DLC content? I get no consistent results when I look things up online.
I'll be honest, I'm not too sure myself. I know that I did it after Ch.11 because I'd remember if I had that ring for that map, and I didn't. Did have the Three moron ring, though. I don't know if you can get it sooner or not.
Chapter 7. The game doesn't tell you this and neither does the store page for the DLC, but that's when it unlocks.
This
Otherwise, you literally cheated and might as well just turn difficulty down to normal casual and turn on autoplay
After 32 hours of playtime, i finally found a golden skirmish, why the frick are they so rare?
You making sure to donate at the board? I've gotten 2 golds and I just finished Anna's paralogue.
Ive kept them all at level 2 as soon as i could donate. Gold has been sparse as is

Seriously tiki is so fricking broken you can solo on maddening
Dont care, shes fun to use
No demihumans, no buy...
Laguz are garbage
All the generic humans are boring, why can’t we have different species and you get to play as them?
Oh no no no

I don't have to go through those user reviews to know that it's probably all 3H trannies crying that they removed the persona elements out of the game, with a dash of "hurrr anime game is anime". Good riddance.
Yup, really sad show of them as usual. Pathetic game, pathetic fans.
>no replay value like 3h
I wouldn't replay that game if you paid me
Nobody would, even its fans only "rewatch" it at best.
How many of those are people who are mad they can't frick Anna?
Apologize
3H and especially Edelgard are the worst things to have ever happened to this franchise.
>Oh no, trannies are downvoting a game again
Sure
My favorite part about the landwhale fujo seethe is how unaware they are. Chinatsu designs with a dedicated fujo route wasnt Fire Emblem either. Hope they kill themselves
HAHAHAHAHA! Frick Engaygetroons! I hope they rope themselves!
Save the rope for yourself; you're gonna need it when they release physical sales data on Thursday and it shows Engage having BTFO 3H's opening sales.
>final battle theme isn't as good as god-shattering star

What should I turn anna into? I saw she has the highest magic growth rate in the game, would she be a good candidate for mage knight? magic axe using flyer? or just drop the axe entirely?
Sage is her strongest class
>that tummy
Unofficial Mascot of Engage
Does anyone have any pics of other characters in various class outfits?
It's agony that I can't preview class outfits
How does Mage Knight Celine look? I hate that dress, so she's not using her unique
That's right, I HATE that dress.
I think Mage Knight is fun so that's what I did, myself. She's pretty good.
idk what's best or whatever works really, I turned her into a warrior and had her nearly solo most of the map by dodging everything and countering
on normal, of course, I'm a casual

That's a fire emblem staple at this point
How do you grind? Does that open up later or something? I just finished the optional mission after chapter 5, but it won't let me redo missions or anything like that that I've found. Would be nice to level some of my guys up honestly, half my team is below the recommended level for the stages.
You may not be far enough but eventually you'll unlock skirmishes, you'll get more material rewards depending how much you've donated to the country the skirmish was in
Based. I also manually discard my weapons after I use them 30 times, removing item durability was a mistake.

Cute, post more
Cute as in cute feet?
Robin can frick Tiki, Marth can’t
I thought people complaining about the story were just shitposters but are people really mad about this one?
Reminder that in this series you can join the people who murder your family members multiple times.
At one point byleth gets trapped in the shadow dimension and then dragonballs a way out.
3h fanboys are enraged that this is a return to classic fire emblem. They want their VN dating sim bullshit back.
I think this is a lot of people's first fe or something
Other FEs have stupid plot points and bad writing but I think the entire premise here is just really annoying and stupid and I can't get invested at all.
>Omg it's MARTH from Smash bros
It's Marth from his 4 FE games, you drunk frick.
Actually, Marth is from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light
Roy is the smash bros character
3H's story was dogshit too but what actually matters is immersion, with tiny interactions and systems that are completely gone from Engage. The plot does not have to be amazing, but there's a certain level of quality that is required before it actively detracts from your ability to immerse yourself in the game and feel invested in the characters. Fire Emblem games are designed for you to actually care about the units you're using; that's why it's a SRPG and not just a strategy game. The game is not just supposed to be a spreadsheet sim. Crunch is good, but you need fluff.
Tell me why I should care about Barth.
>Immersion is qualitative variable by which have to be judged upon
Could you tell me how immersive Tetris is? Because that is most played game in planet earth. It has to be immersive someway or another.

>At one point byleth gets trapped in the shadow dimension and then dragonballs a way out.
What fricks me up is that the exact same thing happens in this story but it has even less of an impact than Byleth's hair color changing.
THE CHAD PERSONA
-replaces its mainline titles as a spinoff, becoming the flagship series
-sets trends to the point that homosexuals call other games 'Persona-fied'
- will show teens dating other teens
THE VIRGIN ENGAGE
-story for morons
-bright colors and noises for babies
-censored romances because again, game is for babies
Add this part when you post this next time:

What does it do?
remember that meme skill she starts with in part 4
it does that
Fatal attacks inflicted will reduce the enemy's HP to 1, with the enemy dodging any subsequent attacks.
are the new recruits strictly better than the older characters? seems kind of annoying because I want to use etie and clanne but citrinne and alcyrst seem stronger. and I feel like this will happen again later. thoughts?
Yes I still use who ever I like though
these games are never difficult enough that you can't finish with literally any party composition, don't worry about numbers and just use who you want to and you'll enjoy the game significantly more
etie has horrendous stat growth and will be outshined by every other archer.
I still use her because cute tomboy body builder
Clanne is great. Etie is trash though.
Yeah, powerful units join later here, instead of early ones being the best. It's not a problem, though.
But Etie is trash, I'm sorry. She also loses the midriff when promoted.
>loses the midriff when promoted.
That's why you make her a warrior
I did Tiki's map just so I could see her floating around.
Did you remember to work out today?
Lifting rn. Haven't played FE yet though.
I didn't play FE today because I was too busy working out. Then I did all the bills and had to deal with an alchoholic dementia riddled parent. maybe tomorrow
Pls stop taking the bait
what class do i turn Celine into
her stats are completely even
paladin
become eliweed
The stronger noble class
Her personal class gets swords, times and staves though I feel like it would be better to just go all in on sage with her.
bad idea, she has 25 MAG growth
I think the series would benefit from a smt/persona split off.
So I can playing double the amount of games (hopefully) on top of telling people b***hing about one to play the other.
but then they would just go back to
-good selling ones (Persona-likes)
and
-bad selling ones (everything else)
Warriors
Muso's are fine but I want the normal gameplay.
I don't believe the series design and content justifies a whole series of spinoffs.
>Fodlan ends up becoming Persona/Trails and takes over Fire Emblem.
I’d love to see if.
fire emblem's ""tactical"" gameplay is just straight up not deep enough to have multiple spinoff games
gee I wonder if they could experiment more if they released more spin-off titles.

I don't know about that, but the story is something that people care about, yes. Most importantly because it informs and fleshes out the characters.
Nobody wants to play as John McGee. They want to play as fricking Ryu, or Ken, for a reason.
People play as ryu and ken because their move pool is basic af moron-kun
Should i wait to lv 20 to promote units in this game? It seems dumb since you easily reset levels with second seals but it's something i've always been autistic with in FE games
Reclassing ASAP is optimal, but you probably won't have the Master Seals necessary regardless
You can buy them anyway but they cost 2500 a pop
There's very limited stock until Chapter 18
some people say that xp is based on the units internal level so early promoting is better
No, promoting early is strictly better
Okay can someone give me a summary of which features made it into this entry and the ones that didn't? Because I'm completely, lost people are saying that social features are gone, but I just saw a twitch guy playing through an 10 min exchange between a e-girl and an ugly bastard about books and I'm not going sit through a fricking 1 hour YouTube rant about how this is the worst/best game in the series.
Supports have been in since gba games
Not as an out battle hang out scene.
That is what wanted hear, thanks.
>Not as an out battle hang out scene
It's been like that since path of radiance
So... Not since the GBA games right? Gotcha.
I said supports have been in since the gba games and that's correct, they became an out of battle thing in path of radiance
Okay anon, so why did you try to vibecheck me again?
the monastery has been trimmed down into a smaller hub area that has different items to collect or things to do, they are all completely optional but the stable provides ores to upgrade with your weapons with dogs, so it is worth investing time into that at a bare minimum (just fast travelling and picking up items after every map you play)
a lot of the romance and other bullshit has been heavily stripped away, the support in general are very short
the complaining that you hear is from people who wanted 3H style dating and flirting with anyone and everyone culminating in marriage, which is not in this game
overall the game is extremely good gameplay wise, every single story aspect can be skipped immediately, and all the filler can be skipped without consequence except for one to upgrade your items
no , my complaints are over how the story and characters are complete shit and the much vaunted gameplay is not much better than 3H at all, not enough to justify the total game package being for morons.
>not much better than 3H at all
idk I'm almost done with the game and still no sight of the part where I get to play the same map 2000 times in a row

Can we finalt admit sacred stones is the best game now since it has the best story?
>This guy tried to resurrect his Dad because he was too much of a pussy to rule and now he got taken over by a demon
>He gets the Reinas stone, the thing youve been protecting all fricking game, because Eirika has a woman moment and go "DURRRR REALLY YOU CAN USE THE STONE TO GET RID OF DUH DEMON??? OK HERE YOU GO LYON xDDD"
>But its ok because Rausten has one still so all of the protection plot with the bracelets literally didnt matter, you could remove it entirely from the plot and nothing would change
Lmao, no
You can make any story sound bad if you're that reductive
I admit I was exaggerating a tad for comedic effect, but no dude, Eirika giving the stone to Lyon like a moron was really fricking stupid and basically rended the entire bracelet plot useless. Ephriam's was a tad better in that Lyon had to force it off of him, but even then it still shits on the entire build up of the story all for a part of the continent you hadnt explored and only get like 2 chapters on.
It's completely in character for her to do that, it doesn't make the story bad
it's in character for corrin to avoid killing people
Fates story has bigger issues than corrin not wanting to kill people
and sacred stones has bigger problems than eirika being a bleeding heart
No
it shares a lot of plot beats with engage for starters and engage bad
>it was a coping Fatesbabb all along
lol
Im not disputing the character, Im saying that narratively that shits on all the build up. That scene either didnt need to happen or someone steps in to stop her from giving it away. Story beats wise, Rausten's stone should have been taken, then the final hope rests on the twins and their stone that theyve managed to protect all game, hence giving narrative pay off to the entire bracelets thing. As is, you can remove the bracelets plot entirely and have their stone get destroyed from the very first chapter, and the story wouldnt change really. Which is bad writing.
If they absolutely HAD to "destroy" the stone, they could have had Ephriam pull a switcheroo by getting Knoll to make a fake SS or something and then have Eirika hold the fake one while he holds the real one. And Lyon would be gloating about how he got the stone and he crushes Rausten's too and everything seems lost, only for Ephriam to pull the stone out and be like "I got you, b***h". But even then that would need some explaining on how Knoll managed to fool a fricking demon with a replica, and it kind of shits on the "sibling trust" thing so that would still leave a bad taste in my mouth. But better than "lol here is the stone OH NO.... oh well we have Rausten lol"
Path of radiance into radiant dawn is the best FE story
Por yes rd no
I can't award Sacred Stones the distinction of 'best story' when it doesn't have any CGs outside of the credits.
Same for Blinding Blade.
Love SS's soundtrack, though.

Zoomers were a mistake.
really feels like the devs of this game were extremely averse to players buying their way to victory (DLC notwithstanding)
Honestly, why even have the upgrade mechanic at that point? Though apparently you can get a them a lot more easily doing online shit, but frick paying for Nintendo online.

How intuitive is reclassing ? Is it worth it to promote Celine into a Mage Knight for Chaos Style and then reclass her into her personal class for that sweet Sword/Tome/Staff?
I don't think you get to keep class skills when you reclass
Please tell me you're kidding
you get skills from emblems now, anon. not classes.
Oh lord I already promoted some characters with the intent of getting a skill and switching them to another class
I tried myself and the skill just vanished
I don't think you can lock it like for emblem skills but maybe it's hidden in some menu somewhere and I didn't notice
FRICK
I liked 3h and this game, but already I can see myself replaying this game where I had to force myself to play through a second route on 3h.
Dlc was great tho.
>Dlc was great tho.
Never played it, what was good about it?
Solid maps and the new characters were good. Its a big plus that after beating it you can take them into a normal run. It really fills out the roster for things like church route.
The replay value is way better since you aren't forced to reclass everyone in wyvern lord
>since you aren't forced to reclass everyone in wyvern lord
You didnt have to do that in 3H either lol, its just optimal. Just like this game.
The nice thing about Three Houses was that you could pick a different House and then have a totally different team to use right from Chapter 2. I get the sense Engage is going to be a lot more repetitive on replay
>totally different team
>the tough choice between 8 villagers or 8 villagers
>have a totally different team
Black person it was trivial to recruit everyone.
Its one of the games downsides honestly
Your team on Chapter 2 of Three Houses can be completely different form your team on your last run, which is something no other game in the series lets you do. Oh, you want to use Veyle on your next Engage run? Too bad, there's no way to recruit her before the end of the game.
this isn't a refutation of your premise, but that's why I love randomizers and reverse recruitment mods.
frick, I really hope the modding scene autism comes back for this game. There's way too much potential to see it begin and end with self-censoring Anna
It's a Unity game, so I bet modding will be more robust than ever
yeah honestly I don't see myself replaying engage until probably after all the dlc is out. Every run will be very similar because of how long it takes to recruit half the available units.
The only unique shit you can do is maybe do some meme class builds, but even then you have to wait until 2/3 of the game is over to have unlimited access to master seals. it's fricking gay.
Three Houses is the exception, not the rule.
>which is something no other game in the series lets you do
3H's units have zero unique gameplay identity outside of the lords, and only when they promote post timeskip, so this literally doesn't mean anything.
They're literally different characters, not just numbers in a spreadsheet
Sorry buster but I'm playing a fricking video game and this genre is all numbers on a spreadsheet.
That's a totally valid way to play, but don't screech at other people who happen to play a little differently
Have you ever played another FE before?
What other Fire Emblem game lets you build a completely different team from the very start? Every other game makes you recruit characters one at a time, chapter by chapter, making the first half of the game functionally identical no matter what you're aiming for by the end
Most don't have that element, but the point of those games are to play more efficiently and to utilize different combinations of characters. FE6 is like you described, but it's an extremely replayable game.
For what you want, like another poster said, you need to do randomizer playthroughs, which is simple to setup and do. My randomized 6, 7 and 9 playthroughs were fun as hell.
I think Int Sys should try to build that kind of ng+ mechanic into new FE games.
And when I say FE6, "is like you described", I mean the second half of your paragraph.
My entire point was that I liked that Three Houses did that on cart
What's the point in 3 houses though when anyone can be anything?
yeah weirdly enough the one thing that ended up differentiating characters the most for me was their magic spell lists.
(btw you can't see those in-game have fun looking them up on Serenes lolololol)
>Edelgard is one of the few characters who can learn dark magic in the game
>shit mag growth so you can't really salvage it
>her exclusive class isn't some Arvis homage that's an armoured mage
One of the most disappointing parts about CF in ny opinion. A lot of characters having surprisingly cool spell lists you just can't really do shit with.
Game is unbelievably bland and forgettable
When the FRICK do I get my rings back
Ch. 17-22.
>just dump all your exp and stat boosters on Louis lmao
>he can solo the game with Sigurd rofl
I fricking hate you homosexuals
>Falling for the armor knight meme in the year 2023
Get fricked you moron
It’s true though, he solos the game before you lose your rings and then you have Ike when you get Sigurd back which can boost his defense to ridiculous levels.
He cant solo because mages and chain attacks can destroy him. Yunaka on the other hand...
>chain attacks can destroy him
>chain attacks hitting for 2HP each can destroy a guy with 40+ HP
>flat 10% damage that can stack and be triggered from a safe range can chip down a guy with 40+ hp
yes
do you by chance consume glue
>what is healing
In order for Louis with 40HP to get killed by 2HP chain attacks he would need to be hit by chain attacks 20 times within one turn. I don't think that's even possible as a matter of positioning, let alone realistic. And if he gets down to 10HP after one turn through some absurd act of fate, then you can use a physic to solve the problem. If you don't that's a skill issue.
>In order for Louis with 40HP to get killed by 2HP
it's flat 10% moron. that the AI will position for and abuse on maddening. I'm not saying he's not a good tank, I'm saying if you think he's invincible to physical when there's a mechanic in play that will chip him down, you're overestimating his capabilities.
Name five maps where it's possible for Louis to take ten chain attacks in one turn.
jesus fricking christ you are dense. it's not a zero sum game. he won't be taking 0 damage forever because enemy silver access will outpace his defense growth. even if he's taking 5x2 with 2 chain attacks in play that's possibly 18 hp down in just one round of combat. don't underestimate chain attacks.
You're the one overestimating them because you think getting 5x chain attacks is something that even happens often, let alone multiple times per turn. To be in a situation where you have that happen you have to have fricked up to begin with. Never mind that I regularly put Louis off by himself prepping Ike's AoE smash with no problem because as it turns out, not every enemy type provides chain attacks and thus even when he's surrounded by enemies on all sides he's still almost never going to be taking that much chain damage to begin with.
You're just some homosexual going
>oh b-but louis isn't invincible because in these highly specific circumstances he might die
which is a dumb statement because obviously no one thinks the guy with a severe weakness to magic is actually unkillable in the first place.
you don't
Do magical weapons do anything for people who are mostly str based?
they target resistance which might be better for armor knights
levin sword has 14 mt for some reason and you can get one right as soon as you get your first free steel weapon
though personally I gave it to celine to help her kill enemies she can't double
only 2 ranged option for sword locked users is the levin sword, poking is better than no damage and if it's an armor knight they have almost no resistance
Should I be saving my bond fragments for something or do I just blow them all on the gacha
I use them to train my units in the arena
Get enough golds and platinums for everyone, then hold onto the rest so you can increase bond levels for Emblems in the arena
You can spend them to increase bonds with the emblem rings, which is probably more useful than bond rings once you have several of them
Gacha and arena and engraving
if you want to reclass you have to spend fragments (or train) the unit with the ring that will get them the weapon proficiencies needed for the reclass
outside of that i'm not sure you need to save them for anything else
For me, It's Panette-chan's constant 70% crit chance

Both are literally mechanics that are pressed into your face by the tutorial and you are expected to use.

Why not just play casual mode at that point?
because i don't want to play casual mode, i want to play hard classic and use the game mechanics the game gives me
>Please PLEASE play the game the right way! Mom says you have to!
I use rewind every mission, multiple times, while using the tiki ring, on normal
Sometimes I accidently end a units turn and rewind to undo it.
Rewind is the best mechanic this series has ever added. Recently replayed Conquest Lunatic and losing a unit to a crit or because you didn't calculate Ninja's damage properly fricking blows especially if you've almost completed the map.
That's just war
Yes
I intentionally send out units as test fodder to die and then rewind

Louie is unironically, legitimately best boy, and also ME
I'm ashamed to admit I immediately started feeding her xp the blue/green hair+huge breasts combo is so based.
She's my strongest unit and not ashamed one bit of that

Honestly for being a maximum anime game engage is kind of weak in the breasts department
3h was supposed to be all epic serious and half the women are cows compared to the engage women
Because 3H has the oldest cast out of all Fire Emblem games
Rewinding is one of the best features added. It allows a little bit more experimentation and means you don't have to autistically memorize a map.
I knew from her first line of dialogue this girl would be massive on Reddit.
Timerra is legal yes? Is she S supportable?
Yes
You can skip support everyone but it's not romantic
She got censored too for whatever. It's really not about the internal age like people claim.
Joke on you, I'm not even playing seriously. I literally activate an unlimited action cheat code and rush to the boss Turn 1.
guys if i get a bad level up, rewind and avoid getting a level for the rest of the map, and then get a level up at the somniel or in the next map, will the RNG reset so i can get different stats or is it set in stone?
i'm not sure because apparently there's different growth modes you can choose after beating the game, so i dunno what's the standard
>rewind
You didn't beat the game
Don't bother for levelups. Embrace the RNG.
just keep playing the game, you aren't going to get perfect level ups everytime and there are caps anyways
I've been told normal and hard use random and maddening uses fixed
that should work for random mode; it did in 3h at least
Standard is random but how games have been treating it recently is your level ups are seeded at the start of the map. If you’re playing on maddening you get fixed growths so rewinding and leveling later won’t change anything.
>Savescumming my one master Seal to check outfits

How does Tiki work? Does beating her map give you the cheats? I don't want to buy DLC if it's just P2W instead of new content.
Beating her Paralogue gives you an extra Emblem you can equip
If you don't want cheats, just don't equip her or pick up the sparkly in her map
>you can change the gacha RNG by entering and exiting a chapter
Any dev that puts gacha mechanics into their single player game should be executed.
>you share a board with subhumans like this
essentially
>it exists so I must be mad about it
I like gacha
I'd like the gacha more if each S Ring had a skill instead of it being only 2 out of a set. There's no reason for them to not double up on skills there since equipping a Bond Ring means you aren't getting an Emblem Ring in return, which by the time you'll have enough S Rings to matter, you'll have an Emblem for everybody you can deploy anyway.
Bond rings seem kinda pointless
You lose all your Emblems for a large stretch of the game.
So you have to have your weapon proficiencies sorted out before that point? When is it?
Chapter 10-17
some of the skills seem pretty good. renewel for +5 hp per turn or +20 hit with smash weapons are nice, and I've also seen skills for +20% damage with fire type, thunder type, and excalibur spells.
allows people to gain sp when you they don,t have actual rings.
Oooo I guess they are good then
my favorite part of the shitposting is that you can tell how uninspired it is since the game actually is decent without the mechanics shitposters thought it would have
Gacha rings are fine and let you modify your stats a bit so just roll with what you get. You don’t need dire thunder to beat the game, and renewal is 5 HP only so it’s not even that amazing but getting the rings with skills can change how you play. The only skill that’s actually a dud is mercy.
Who are the best/worst cooks?
Is this actually a good game or for masochists only?
It has a hard learning curve and some surprise BS but it has the best gameplay in the series.
>best gameplay
It does. There's a reason why games keep going back to it to borrow mechanics.
You don't have to respond to every weak bait
It wasn't bait I think 4-5 are poorly designed and have been surpassed by multiple games at this point
Yeah, need some tips brother?
it is very well crafted but you need a couple infos before going in or it will be pain

They just couldn't stop mocking 3H
If they played it straight, Byleth would have been the most broken engage.
>map is literally just 8 dudes scattered across a flat plane
lmao that's Awakening for you
I'm glad I decided to do this underleved (recommended was 19, but I did it with 10-14s + Ivy who came at level 17) because it would've been a joke otherwise and figuring out how to do enough damage to lucina with the units I deployed was a fun.
>Lucina telling me how much I've grown since we met even though we just met at the end of last chapter
But Anon, (You) have met her before.
I'm doubling down on Punch Master Framme and I cannot be stooped.
Are sirmish a thing in maddening? i has like 2 every story mission on hard but now haven't seen one doing chapter 8
No, because skirmishes let you level up and get money to upgrade so they aren't in maddening mode
>Want the no grinding mode
>Playing the hardest difficulty first in these games is always tedious and unfun
>rewinding
The game is designed around rewinding.
If you're not using rewinds to abuse RNG, ie: re-rolling a low hit chance by making other moves in between until it hits then you aren't doing it right.
Should i go for mage knight or sage for citrinne?
I really don't like this game's skill system. I don't like how "random" SP gains are, how you can't access the inheritance menu from anywhere except that room with a loading screen. It's unnecessarily convoluted.
It’s not random though, you just equip a ring to start gaining, and emblem rings gain faster than bond rings.

And to think people keep trying to tell me that Etie is unusable and Alcryst is the far superior archer. Higher stat totals don't help when you have the completely wrong stats for your job.
Alcryst is still a better archer because I got Etie killed
how does that alcryst have lower Spd than his base stats?
On a different screen it was showing -1 on his speed stat. I have no idea why because it doesn't tell me and that was in the arena room, not during a mission. At the very least that means he hasn't gained a single point in speed since getting him.
Etie for me got the most horrific level ups imaginable, like 2-3 max and in the least important shit, by the time Alcryst was available, he was miles ahead
Boucheron was the same but he kind of sucks no matter what you do
my etie is speed screwed but she can take down any flyer in one shot

Yeah, I think I'm just gonna let this stupid b***h die.
The frick? how? She was full HP when I talked to her. Never had to use time shit or anything. Playing on maddening.
Think this is, as the saying goes, a skill issue. Don't take 20 turns to go up like 10 squares.

I have no clue if half of them are good or not
Wait till you get a later chapter which only lets you take 7 units in.

Pretty clutch honestly.
How many people even know this game has a photo mode?
chloe is literally built for sex
Should I give all the stat boosters to my wife Anna?
What's the sexual appeal of a child?
There are adult women with her body type
how awful of an idea would it be to make her a berserker?
she'd have negative attack speed with that build stat
...what? she's tied for highest speed growth
>Lapis
Game, stop introducing more cute characters, I have no space left
is yunaka best left as a thief for the entire game? or should she go swordmaster?
i haven't even started chapter 7 yet but so far
>framme (forma del puño)
>boucheron
>etie
are all absolute ass
boucheron is absolute dogshit
framme is okay because she heals shit and her offensive stats don't matter
Etie is reportedly an absolute fricking dog, but mine seems okay so far.
You can do basically anything in these games so just play with who you like.
yeah healer framme is okay
unfortunately i am playing maddening so my etie will always be a dog
>boucheron is absolute dogshit
I will use him for the 20% (+5%) BLD growth and 80% (+25%) HP growths. I forgive him for his 20% (+20%) STR growth, it is not his fault.
bld is just as worthless of a stat as boucheron is as a unit.
Male Alear or female Alear, Ganker?
Tiki's map was brutal on maddening, good thing Etie and Alcryst were one shotting dragons or I would have pulled my hair out
>cant attack by moving the cursor on top of the enemy anymore
Why
works on my machine
you did switch the controls to use the regular cursor and arrow and not the weird move the person around default right
>Evil Marth just turns into Roy
I really get a kick out of characters I benched immediately showing up in cutscenes. Oh, Vander is still here, I guess.
>talk to clanne after chapter 9 after benching him asap

I almost feel bad for him
clanne's a moron with shit growth rates.
>hey, let's make a little mage boy that has one of the lowest magic growths in the entire game!
Why doesn’t the divine edition come with the expansion pass are you fricking kidding me??
anna is kind of cute. i think i like her
thank you. i wasnt huge on the new art style but i really like how anna looks. her red hair looks super cute in this
UOOOOHHHH
wait, so they changed romance dialogues on he basis of characters not being adults or too young, but didn't bother to censor outfits that depict a child in a provocative manner? like it's not even just midriff, but cleavage on both outfits as well. ??? Getting mixed messages here, NoA.
Changing text takes zero effort, they were doing it anyway
It's even stupider considering Awakening, Fates, and 3H all let you explicitly romance shotas and e-girls but somehow 17 year olds are too much in Engage
Three Houses was only 1000 year old e-girls, and Fates & Awakening made romance so central to the game mechanics that you really couldn't get away with removing it
The cleavage is because all the extra outfits use one of a few basic body models scaled to the character instead of being unique for each character. Hence why if you put Etie in that outfit her abs completely disappear.
That's not something NoA can physically do anymore because Nintendo games ship region free on the same cartridge. They'd be wasting space with different outfits for regions when you can just change your system language to get them back anyway
She's cute but I'm regretting leveling her. She's squishier than a Myrmidon with none of the evasiveness.
need to switch her to magic.
How do you give proficiencies to characters? Is that something you can inherit from Emblems?
yeah, you reach bond lvl x and they get it, still can't use the weapon outside of a class that can't but they can switch into.
i remember leif teaching a shitload of weapons
oh my god she is so short. i didnt realise. im currently in the fight where you meet her.
would she be pretty good with it? id like to use her in my party if i can
She excels with magic.
She gets the highest bonuses from MAG, but you'll need to give her the ring that teaches book proficiency so she can switch classes
I made my Anna work really well as a berserker with enough love.
A e-girl hitting fat crits with a engraved killer axe always is a treat, but it's not the optimal way of using her.
sounds fun. i like the idea of short girls that have big weapon damage like that in games. its always really enjoyable
Pair her up with Lyn and inherit +3 speed, give her a secret book and it should be enough.
After that i paired her with leif for extra build and some other skills, engrave a killer axe with Lyn's emblem. That should work well enough
Imagine having a bad Anna
>Warrior has exposed midriff too
Fug :DDD
Now I don't know. Warrior Anna, then Sage Celine for more tummy? I was gonna put Celine on a horse, but I dunno know.
Pic related but for Engage when?
I just want to use War Anna and Sage Celine too without feeling like im gimping myself.
Why are enemy promotes so fricking buff? Fricking homie Sniper has 23 STR, 28 dex and 18 speed. A homie with that accuracy and power shouldn't have enough speed to double my mages.
Swordmaster has 23 speed almost doubling my Yunaka lol.
>Hour 3, Turn 9 of chapter 11 Maddening.
I am performing open heart surgery with an obstruct staff
Can your Alear dodge everything reliably? I didn't use any staves. The key was not to rush too far forward and to bait the freezes with Yunaka or Chloe/Diamante.
It's easier to push to the exit when you clear all the units chasing you. You can't outrun Sigurd or Celica lol.
Not really, I have zero skills inherited, no weapon upgrades, no engravings and my best bond ring gives +1 SPD. Alear's base SPD is 15 and Yunaka's is 17.
I'm just sitting at the start while the enemy spams Sigurd and Celica at me.
Where do you get Second Seals at? I just beat Chapter 8 but I want to know just in case. Also, I used a Master Seal on Alear and I have an extra one leftover should I use it on Alfred?
I think you unlock the ability to buy them chapter 9
You can buy them from the shop
should i upgrade louis to the mounted knight or general? also should i do it asap or wait a bit?
Mage Knight or Sage for Anna?
Sage has exposed belly. Take that as you will.
Sage, for soon-to-be obvious reasons
berserker
Berserker with Hurricane Axe is my plan
Rewinding is for gays though, deal with the consequences of your shit planning
Best advanced class for Louis?
What ever you like
I'm putting him on a horse, because frick 4 Move
Just grab canto on him and its like a fake 4 move.
>you have a child woth Veyle as Female Alear too
What did they mean by this?
Veyle has a big meaty wiener and a tight pussy so both Alears get to make babies with her
Futachads just keep winning.
>planned to frick wolf girl since she was announced
>the wolf could join us I don't care
>she's fricking obsessed with bugs
It's not fricking fair
Differences between hard and maddening?
Maddening has more enemies on maps, fixed growth rates and enemies have better skills.
>fixed growth rates
elaborate
Growths are static, so if we both leveled up Alear to max with the same classes we would end up with identical stats.
Isnt that good or is it not in your favor
It’s both. You’re never going to get that amazing unit that Carrie’s you but at the same time you’ll never end up with an Alear who is a wet noodle.
Stats aren't randomize. Your chararaters will ALWAYS level up in a certain manner.
Levels are exactly the same.
For example Etie here will always get this for level 5. You may only see different level ups after equipping Tiki or changing classes.
Also, I've played up to Tikimap on Hard and Maddening and some mobs came early, much earlier than on Hard, shit was spooky. Has anyone played the main story on both hard/Mad and noticed any reinforcement differences between the two difficulties there?
oh man, i'm not sure i like it, but i can power through. also will quell my autism about perfect level ups and refraining from leveling to cheese it with training and such.
Your units will always get perfectly average growths. If someone has a 50% growth rate in dex they will always get 1 point every 2 levels. It prevents you from being stat screwed or blessed, which is why people who are saying that they’re getting lucky with a unit’s growths are playing on hard or below. Once you beat maddening once you unlock the ability to play maddening with random growths.
what if i pranked rosado by sucking his dick? that would be funny haha
only if you called it cute afterwards :3
>Almost everyone shits on Etie.
I guess I'm rng blessed so far, because my Etie is a beast. Highest base str out of all of my characters. Granted I just finished chapter 8 so I'm not too far, but she's been MVP in probably more than half of my maps. Clanne is also my strongest mage.
If you aren't playing on maddening with its fixed growth rates then who cares and just use whoever you like
I've been engaging in dragon eugenics since fe7. Which royal can I handle sister dragon off to for a dragonblooded line?
Only Alear can romance other characters, and only the ones NoA approves of
wow annas loading screen pixel is really cute too
I gave Ike to Diamant because they look like they could be friends, they're both big buff sword dudes with a serious face and low voice but I have never played Path of Radiance so I don't know what Ike is like
He's gay.
Should I give him to Rosado?
Rosafo's a gay, but he doesn't seem gay. Alfred might be. Of course, there's always (You), the player. :^)
Ike once considered telling his sister that a man was dead just so that she would stop trying to feed him.
>censored
>you bought it anyway
Why?
every FE game has been censored or changed
honestly what i should be asking you is "why is this the one time it matters?"
It's always mattered, and people should rightfully rip on int sys every time it happens. Radiant Dawn for example, had it's script completely gutted for the NA version. I hope for the love of god someone translates and inserts the hardmode script from the Japanese version into the game one day.
don't forget how FE9 changed the script to insert Ike/Elicina romance that wasn't there, or how Soren's entire personality was rewritten.
but you'll never hear Ganker b***h about this.
What was Soren like in the Japanese version?
he's more passive aggressive and is more emotional in public.
otherwords if you like the sarcastic, deadpan, blunt soren, you like a product of localization. now ask yourself if change and censorship is truly always a bad thing or not, i can't answer that for you, but i'm saying every game has changed scripting, characters, and sometimes even removes content, this is hardly the first time and it won't be the last time.
>now ask yourself if change and censorship is truly always a bad thing or not
Yeah.
It's also bad that they rewrote the reason the Black Knight survived the battle with Ike in PoR. The original reason was fricking stupid and I agree that the rewrite is better but it still shouldn't have been done in the first place because it's not the translator's place to meddle with the product thinking they're making it better, and believing it's ok for them to do that is how you end up with shitshows like Fates.
How were the two ways the Black Knight survives different?
In the English version he explains that he was holding back against Ike because he wanted Ike to survive and grow as strong as Greil so they could have a proper duel one day. Ike never actually killed him, he just pretended to fall and then escaped.
In the Japanese version he used warp powder to leave the area prior to Ike's arrival and the warp powder malfunctioned, leaving behind a weaker copy of him, and that's what Ike fought and defeated in PoR.
>LITERALLY "It was a Hologram"
Oh man this on its own rivals Fates CQ writing.
Bros, has FE's writing only ever ranged from offensively moronic at worst to basic at best?
you are correct, but Ganker very much is full of people that will claim Ike/elicia is a real thing and not something localization messed up, and then b***h about how they can't marry an 11 year old, Ganker has absolutely no standards what so ever and its only bad when it effects them, you atleast seem to be the exception to that norm so you have my anonymous approval.
I'm not quite as cynical as you anon, I think most people are simply unaware of the changes to the older games. Before dual-audio was standard it was basically impossible for the average player to notice that rewrites were happening because they didn't have the voices conflicting with what they were reading, so the only way people would ever know is from a person proficient in Japanese going out of their way to compare the scripts and share their findings with people, which was harder to do and harder to disseminate. It's much easier for people to discover, compile, and share instances of localisation censorship / rewrites now which is why people talk about it more.
And there's also the factor of a new release having more talk about its surrounding circumstances whereas for an older release there's less reason to bring up the censorship as an old topic.
i think my favorite random b***hing about localization changes with no standards was back when fates released and you had a sub section of fans that hated the name Caeldori, and prefered the name Maoti, but had absolutely no problem with that in Awakening's Tiamo was changed to Cordelia.
some people are really fricking that dumb when it comes to b***hing about changes.
I fricking hated how Sariya was changed to Tharja. I can see how someone could pronounce "Tharja" in a similar way to the Japanese pronunciation, but no one does that.
>It's also bad that they rewrote the reason the Black Knight survived the battle with Ike in PoR
I could not disagree more. that is my go-to example of "so-called localizers just make up their own shit" not being a necessarily bad things
>believing it's ok for them to do that is how you end up with shitshows like Fates.
no, hiring spastic moron localizers is how you end up with a shitshow like Fates.
Way to completely miss the point.
>but you'll never hear Ganker b***h about this.
damn straight you won't, because it was good
FE localizers used to be great. and used to know how to write dialogue that didn't sound like 90's dubbed kids anime which somehow has once again become the standard.
>only censored part is shit I don’t care about
Why wouldn’t I?
I don't care about dating kids.
If Anna was a sexy israelite hag like before I would have given a shit. But I don't care
Doesnt affect me and people bought the past 3 censored games anyway
/v/eddit is pro censorship now.
I'm playing in Japanese so what do I care
I'm a BIG e-girlcon and I don't give a shit about not plowing Anna. I am here to play an actual FE game, not 3Shits.
Artist reccs?
Chloé!
>Kagetsu immediately just outclasses Diamant
cool? Why do they keep giving me Sword dudes? I already have Alear as a mandatory deploy so realistically I can only use one more max. I guess Diamant doubles as an axe guy if I promote but still.
Sword Emblem is forever, you should know this by now. Horse Emblem or Wyvern Emblem are once in a dozen years.
Felt the same. Is anyone else keeping 3 of each weapon or should I only ever need 2 of each? Considering selling the thirds for seals
I'm not going to the other thread. I'm going down with the ship tonight.
What is Zelkov's *vocal tick* in the original *Japanese* version?
He has the kanji between [ ] when he says a specific word.
He sounds funny as frick tbh, his supports are great
what does it mean when it says / backup after their class? i dont really get what the things after the slash mean on anyone
it's their special skill, backup will attack with your unit if they are able to strike as well
note that this damage cannot be blocked but is always at 80% accuracy
Press X
Kagetsu and Rosado would both be pretty cute girls. Waste of a pair of decent designs
Either your homosexual or fujo level is too low.
One day you will understand.
The moment I realized Rosado was male, I instantly knew I needed to breed him. I was going through the game as a Chloe gay, but now my mind is set.
Say, 10 base level, promote, 20 lvl, second seal again get to lvl 10. would be lvl 40 internal right?
Yes
How come Vander gains like no exp? Is he already an upgraded class or something?
Yeah he's the game's Jeigan or Marcus - he isn't as good as either of them though
