I'm not recording this
Congrats on getting through it! My Infernal clear relied on clearing out every last enemy while Ares baited Freyr for a turn. Once he's all alone, he's a lot easier to deal with.

This happens even in versions I haven't touched.
Did the translation come with the ROM? If so, then it's possible that the text within the translation overwrote somewhere it shouldn't have.

The US has done a decent job of stretching it's resource across the entire planet without a blatant anti American alliance (more overseas military bases than there are actual countries). But morever, I think one large point with these conflicts is that the US's resources is not in the form of US soldiers. It's, primarily, in the form of weapons. So if there is going to be a change as a result of stretching too thin it's going to be more economic than outright war. That is to say the US will stop funding groups across the world and become more insular. In either case of being stretched too thin, I don't see it resulting in an outright World War II. The US is just way too hard to invade so no country is going to go so far as to attempt that, and the US does not quite have the imperial ambitions to annex any of their enemies. The only path to total war I could see is if the US did become more insular, as I predict, and then China takes it as an opportunity to seize Taiwan, then, a rapid shift in US policy as a new leader is elected has the US come to aid Taiwan resulting in a pretty bloody conflict. But even then I'm not sure it could go global as Europe and Russia wouldn't have any express interest in getting themselves directly involved in such a distant conflict when they could otherwise just support via military aid. And there is a serious question as wether China even could take Taiwan even if the US is completely handsoff. People have also said that total war for China would be basically impossible with their current demographics as the result of the one child system would simply not lead to a populace accepting for so many families losing their only son to war. Which sounds rationale enough to me, though I don't think we have any real case samples in human history to test it against.
Tl;Dr I can see it leading to conflicts but not really global conflicts.
I'm not worried about a traditional war. I am worried about what happens when the US puts its fingers in too many pies, then is forced to withdraw due to internal strife. I don't see an explicit anti-Western alliance. Rather, it's countries that see an opportunity and take it.

I still love the series, even if my initial distain for IV/Reverie hurt it a bit. I am still going through and giving it a chance.
So do I, though I really didn't mind Reverie. It was fun putting all those characters together for a nice brawl!

I initially felt the same way, but I am really trying to give it another chance.

The Trails support group, I guess. I like Crossbell but damn if they were done dirty by Erebonia.

Kuro 2 is a godly improvement from 1 from a gameplay PoV at least!
That's a good thing, at least?

It comes out this coming Summer though. Xd
IIRC it's Kuro 2 that has everyone in an uproar, and who knows when that will be released. I'll definitely pick up Kuro just to see how the train wreck starts.

Jugdral units vs Freyr is actually impossible for me
You and me both. I'd need at least two units who can tank Freyr, because there's no way I'm ORKOing him. I'm considering the Savage Blow seal on Duo Leif if only to help secure KOs (Canto is really good on this map).

I think Armagon was talking about Kuro 2 here
Eh, alright. I'll get to Kuro when I get to Kuro, which is whenever it's released stateside. Probably when I'm 50.

As far as I can tell, they basically were just trying to be really character focused this time. A chapter of the plot that doesn't progress the plot itself but developes characters further.
Idk if they succeeded but it's my understanding that that was the intention.
In terms of characters by routes it was C > Lloyd >> Rean (was there even any development here?)

Okay, it wasnt THAT bad. The story was nonsense, but at least it was consistent nonsense, unlike IV/Reverie. Xd
My headcanon for Reverie is thatSpoilerthe entire Rufus arc is a prologue and an excuse to throw almost all the existing characters together for crazy players like me to make equally crazy teams. Though said prologue introduced Lapis, and Lapis rules.

Do share.
Right now, the US is embroiled in Ukraine and Israel's conflicts. Ukraine's opponent is Russia, while Israel's stated opponent is Hamas (I'm aware that this is most likely not the entire truth but this isn't the time and place to expand on it). Hamas IIRC is funded by Iran. My guess is that those opposed to the US will take advantage of the situation by stretching US military resources so thin that we can't be everywhere at once.

I honestly feel like WW3 is going to happen because of the US government at this point. Genocide is happening in Palestine as we speak and yet the US is actively encouraging it *as we speak.* I feel like it’s only a matter of time before the genocide spreads everywhere else and the US wins.
While I think the US will be a huge factor in an upcoming world war, I don't think it's going to be because the US instigated it. I have my own theory as to how this happens, which has to do with how many pies the US has its fingers in.

Have you rewritten any of the in-game text?

Byleth with NCD4 is not gonna be fun to go against.
That being said, most of the colors have something I want, so pulling anyone will be a win.

If you have any questions on the rules, feel free to ask a mod. I'll try to be more active. Otherwise, welcome~!

Hey I'm back, for now.
The stuff I posted involves a very hefty warning. I don't like stuffing those warnings down people's throats if I can help it. An ounce of prevention being better than a pound of cure and all.

So unless you can justify not giving the option for the deletion of data with one of the points listed on the European Commission website's website, you can get into trouble. I believe even more so if the personal data of EU citizens is being stored and processed on servers outside the EU, or if the member is underage.
Define "personal data", because a hobbyist forum is hardly on the same level as the likes of Google.

Does anyone else found Louis supports problematic? I am OK with him looking at other people, but hints about him making sexual fantasies involving people he watched (Ivy C, Clanne B) are troublesome.
There's a reason why I like Jade calling him out.
That being said, I feel like too many of the supports lean into a character's gimmick. Alfred/Amber is a prime example of this.

This battle sucked. Decided that Team Tank Dragon With Four-Letter Names was the way to go. Duo Duma (Armor March scroll), Fallen Rhea, Summer Nifl, and Nils were able to get past this. I kept everyone together so Duma/Rhea could keep everyone safe. Used Duma's Duo Skill when Gotoh got his health down. Summer Nifl was able to blow up squishy units with no fear of retaliation.

Off to Far from the Forest with you.

Is it Griftlands if it doesn't involve backstabbing in some way, shape, or form?

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do if I give the game another shot? Should I stick to Normal or commit to Hard? Would it be better to wait a while for people to figure out more optimal strategies so I'm not constantly paralysed by indecision?
Let's answer this backwards! This is a game. It's okay to make mistakes and not play ideally. I'm bumbling around and haven't totally screwed myself out of anything on Hard. If you want to try something, take a deep breath and give it a shot! Save in a different slot if you're going to make a major decision.
On 1/26/2023 at 6:37 PM, FionaKaenbyou said:It also didn't help that I avoided the weapon forgery stuff out of the constant concern of 'what if I need these resources for something important later?' There are so many resources to juggle - gold, SP, bond fragments, ingots, ingredients - that I really struggle to make an informed decision on what's worth investing in.
I still use forged Iron weapons and I'm pretty far into the game. They're cheap.
On 1/26/2023 at 6:37 PM, FionaKaenbyou said:But playing on Hard mode added new enemies and gave the previous ones 3 or 4 points in all their meaningful stats. Which was enough to turn the mage near Louis from dealing 10 damage on turn 1 to 28 because they crossed the doubling threshold. That felt like it was taking the challenge too far in the OTHER direction.
Don't be afraid to save before starting a map and back out if you're just short a stat threshold. You can cook a meal for temporary stat boosts or use tonics for more predictable temporary stat boosts. For cooking, stick with meals that have sparkles next to them, because you really don't want to go into a map with stat penalties (okay, maybe twice if you're going achievement hunting).

I don't know about "best", but if I can be bothered to replay this game, I'm going to have a very bizarre class path for Alfred. Going through two unpromoted classes will be a bit painful, but I think it'll fix his stat issues somewhat. Which would be Noble -> some other unpromoted horse unit -> Paladin -> Avenir.
Also someone talk me out of making Louis a Hero. Please.

Honestly, that's essentially an waste of an turn in the early game. I would rather just eat the hit or rush them with Louis.
Only if I can ORKO them. Otherwise I'm taking unnecessary damage. Plus Louis isn't the most accurate guy in the army, or he may be preoccupied with someone else.
On 1/26/2023 at 6:43 AM, Armchair General said:And I kind of disagree about using Sigurd because Overide while does kill stuff, it usually leaves me out of position. Plus, the only thing that I get out of it is an free Ridersbane, which isn't as useful as Seraphim, in my opinion
Override is situational at best. If I use Sigurd, it's for the extra movement. Though that Ridersbane is a lance, so it's useful on units who don't wield lances naturally.

Between the Christmas banner and this reveal, I have to wonder if this game was having income issues. But hey, about time she made it in. Now here's hoping the rest of the Fates siblings make it in because I really want to see the chaos that the Legendary Little Sisters will bring!
