I was intodruced into the Castlevania series with " Lords of Shadow" for the 3DS this year. I have not completed yet, but it is really good. Unfortunately I cannot say something about the other ones, but I will try out more games of this series in the future.

It has absolutely nothing to do with being a smartass! This is general knowledge! My comment referred to a LP of FE8 I watched. The LPer did not know what indigo hair is, when Myrrh was described. And I really apologize for my bad English

Sigh And I know people, who just want to annoy me with this kind of comment.

What about that idea, that bows could attack in a distance to 3-4 spaces like in FE2. The archer will lose 10% hitrate for each space, he departs of the enemy.

I know people, who do not even know, what "indigo" is.

I own Bravely Default and Etrian Odyssey IV. Both are fantastic. I like BD a bit more, because you can identify better with the characters. Etrian Odyssey Untold: Millenium girl will be released next month in the EU, so I could not play, yet. I have not played a game of the SMT-series, yet, so I cannot say anything. Another great RPG game is Tales of the Abyss, if you have not played it, yet.

Ashera is extremly powerful. Jugde is the most powerful weapon in Fire Emblem history with a might of 50. She has a physical attack of 58 and a magical of 65. Her most dangerous attack is the physical range map attack after turn 1. You have to place the mages and especially the herone far enough away from her. Another point is her high speed of 32. You really have to worry about units, who get <29 speed, because Ashera will kill everyone with two magical attacks except maybe the dragons. Ashera has 5 autority stars, which gives her a hitrate and avoid of +25%. So her hitrate always is 100% except against units, who get an earth support. To avoid damage of the auras, you have to give nihil or parity to your units (especially units, who can attack the auras twice). If you make good use of the red dragons and Nasir, you can beat Ashera in turn 2. Ashnard will move after turn 10, or if you put Ike into his range. So you have to retract all the units, who cannot damage him. Like a said in a previous comment: If you give Ike the skills wrath and resolve, he could take down bezerk Ashnard in one turn. So you do not even have to call a laguz royal. I have not played FE12 on lunatic or higher yet, but Medeus in FE11 on merciless is a pain, because you have to sacrifice units to beat him. He has speed of 30, which means, that he doubles almost everyone! Ashnard has terrible luck; no luck in normal mode. His defense is okay, because Ike can only do max. 9 damage to him. Ashnard is ridicolous easy, if Ike gets wrath and resolve. But without skills and royal laguz, he is a great challenge! The fight against Dheginsea is probably the best dragon fight in the entire FE series. The atmosphere and the theme are fantastic.

I would not say, that Emmeryn is not intelligent. Her main weakness might be, that she is pacifist. In my opinion the difference between Emmeryn and Elincia is, that Emmeryn is pacifist (only related to mainstory) and Elincia tries to be it. But it failed, because Elincia is swamped about the abuses, so she has to fight and send the CKs. Emmeryn´s decissions might not be smart, but she tries with all one´s might to prevent a war.

I know, that many people will kill me, but I hated the entire Pokémon series, when I was younger. I disliked the creatures. In 1999, when Pokémon was popular, I was the only one of my friendship, who neither played the games for the gameboy nor collect the cards. I was not carried of the hype. I never have played a single game of the Sonic-series it, because I never really liked him. And I do not play games of the "Mario-series" anymore, because the story and gameplay are pretty much the same like about 25 years ago. It would bore me.

If I read the description, I would say FE4 has the best use of miracle. The activation is guaranteed for one turn, while in FE13 the activation is based on luck. The activation will be much better later, if you got a high support level and the limit breaker. But especially in the beginning it is not much better than miracle in the Tellius games, which is probably the worst.

Most of the dragons fights are in general pretty lame except for Medeus. But I agree, that the atmosphere in FE6 is great. I know, that it is possible to beat Julius without Julia. But it will be a very long and exausting battle (like Ike against Ashnard without skills and laguz support).

Here are my suggestions: - devil bow - crossbow (but it has to work like other weapons) - brave tomes like Celica´s gale or waste in FE13 for all magic types (the might should not be that high, maybe like "el-magic" and the hit rate should be at least 90% for light and 75% for thunder) - wind magic should be effective against flying units, thunder against dragons and dracoknights (like FE10), fire against beasts (like FE9 + 10), light against monsters and dark against ballistacians - bring back ballistacians and add shipcanons They canons would be good on ships. Explosive cannonsballs could do effective damage like fire magic. Magic bows would be a great add.

Yoshi is confirmed! https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=smash+yoshi+confirmed So happy

If you do not got Naga´s tome, you are really screwed against Juius. You also get a laguz royal and Nasir/Ena, who can damage Ashnard. Giffca does more damage than Ike. But the easiest way to beat him is with Ike´s wrath and resolve. You can beat Ashera without losing any units without that much trouble! On the first turn you just have to place the units with worst defense far enough away of her or on a cover place, that the physical range attack cannot kill them. If you use the strongest units and make good use of the red dragons and Nasir, you can beat her in turn 2. In FE11 on the hardest difficulty you have to sacrifice some your of units to beat Medeus in one turn. Grima can be killed easily in one turn in general.

The only one difference is, that you got more experience on easy mode. But I am pretty sure, that the number and stats of the enemies and boss stats are the same like on normal mode.

I have got BD for almost three months and could not really play it much, because of exams for the study and other games I had to finish. But tomorrow I will finally contiue it!

XP was great, Vista should die!

Thanks for the very fast answer

Does anybody know, if a releasing date of Zestiria was mentioned yet, and when Xillia 2 will be released in Europe?

Lightmagic has the worst might. So it is inconsistent, that it has a higher weight than anima magic. It really punishes the attacking power and attacking speed of lightmages. It would be fair, if lightmagic had the lowest weight of all magic types like in most other FE games.

Welcome to SF! Have fun here!

Here are a few tips: - do homework as soon as possible; it is easier and faster to remember the stuff - learning as soon as possible for tests or exams; it is in genereal a bad idea starting to learn one night before the exam - a calender to organize all your dates

In 2-3 you can get 10000 bexp. on easy, normal mode (the half on hard), if 50 enemies survive (200/100 bexp. for each enemy). So it would be a nice bounty, if you let many enemies as possible alive. Most first tier units do not bring any exp. anyway.

To my mind TotA has great plot. I love the character designs and the mix of funny and very tragic moments. And ToV looks great as well, after watching a few of episodes. I do not know ToL. How was the gameplay worse than in other Tales games?

In 2-3 I always do a solo with Marcia. This chapter is the mainreason, why she always ends up #1. I just have to decoy the two warrirors with the crossbow with someone else. This chapter is so easy, that everybody except for Astrid could do a solo. If you only use Geoffrey, you have to pay attention for the paladin with the horseslayer (not on easy mode).
