I love the Oboro and Saizou art, but I'm curious as to why that support ? It wasn't that great imo, compared to her others >< Eh, at least they didn't put S in xD Though tbh I would have expected Saizou x Kagerou or something ? and holy Kurodeko's art looks so familiar, reminds me a lot of some kancolle stuff !

akdfjs Oboro's third...and it's her birthday ヽ(o♡o)/ EXCITEMENT please bring the merch in muahaha ~ I didn't vote for Takumi as much because I thought he'd get first ?? XD either way, it makes me kind of happy they're both third lol and Belka's higher than expected !

hmm that's really strange, I preordered mines three days ago and it hasn't charged me ; A ; but yeah, definitely try calling in ! Although it may be because sometimes gamestop will charge you for pre-orders, but not the full price until the game actually comes out ? For example, a friend of mines preordered in store and she had to put down $25 or something, so it may be similar with online things ? ; u ; I'm actually...on hold with gamestop atm and they told me to wait 30 minutes lmao

omg !! I feel so silly now aha ~ imo, He doesn't need it; he does best sticking with something like Dark Knight or Grandmaster (if you have DLCs) ...unless you want the skills that come with the class promotions...? ; u ;

lol no, you get sorcerer and dark knight (Nohr counterparts of spellcaster)

I'm bumping this up because I think people have forgotten that this thread existed xD Also, what's the best class for Aqua!Sophie ?

I chose option 2. Honestly, it all boils down to your own opinion -if you haven't played it yourself or seen any gameplays yet, it's a bit unfair to judge it based on what you've heard. Watch a few youtube videos and see what you think then. Besides, it's likely that the localized version will be different than the Japanese one, so I'd definitely say wait until a good 1-2 months after it's release and you know what to expect if you don't want to have to return it after realizing you hate it or something xD. Also I did a no-grind Lunatic Hoshido and IK run and it was fine, so I wouldn't worry about that. (No grind as in the only maps I've played are like 1-3 children paralogues and the rest have been main chapters, I don't even do the side stuff)

aah no problem and so glad it did !! * U * The second map's actually extremely easy (especially compared to the first xD) have you tried it yet ? if not, don't worry, there's really not much method to tackle it other than head on, I believe haha ~

Are you talking about the first one with the three ? I remember having trouble with it the first time, then I restarted and did this: Pair up Owain and Severa. Put Inigo in the VERY corner of the map, bottom left hand side. Put Owain + Severa pair directly in front of Inigo. Units will all swarm towards you -during your turn, either use the boost items or heal up. Your three units will automatically destroy anyone who comes near them during enemy phase. Severa will attack with Inigo, and Owain will have defense guard with Severa, when the boss comes to you, swap into Owain (whose stats have NOT been lowered significantly) and he will destroy the boss. ^ I literally copy and pasted that from a thread I posted in a few months back when it first came out xD But yeah, that's what I did and it worked for me !

OMG as much as I'd love one...please no. I bought a JPN new 3ds XL just to play it and I don't want to have to buy another new 3DS again, because I know I won't be able to stop my grabby hands from doing so otherwise sobs ; m ; I really don't know though, faceplates are definitely possible ?

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I've used both consoles and prefer the new 3DS XL much more as opposed to the old 3DS XL system ~ imo, the circle pad is a lot smoother (I didn't realize how unresponsive it was until I played exclusively on my new 3DS for months wasting away on FE:if) and the 3D is SO MUCH BETTER. You can actually move around now when you use the option, and you don't have to be a certain distance to get it to work. I also think the volume settings are a lot better (your options are wider and it's easier to control). And of course, the auto-brightness settings are extremely responsive, so if you're like me and like to play fe:if at night until you pass out, your eyes won't start to see spots from staring at the screen too long afterwards xD I'm seriously considering buying a new 3DS XL for the localized version when it comes out as well but that probably won't happen since I've already spent too much on this series lmao

pls Amazon. You're the only one I trust. I need that special edition art book and pouch so badly ; m ; THAT POUCH / I will be obsessively refreshing the page for the next few hours ~ but omg so broke I already spent over $500 on the japanese fe merch stuff aaaaah

aha PLEASE do xD I've been avoiding tumblr lately because of all kamutaku stuff on my dash hnng Ah that's what I'm hoping ! ; U ; the TakuObo fandom is actually depressingly small, even amongst Japanese players... and in game, too; I've visited hundreds of castles, and only a small handful have that navy haired Kisaragi LOL aaand to stay on topic, I forgot to add but another guilty confession I have is that I dislike Asama (same reasons as Zero) and tbh I married Leon myself, but I really wish it wasn't an option to marry your siblings... the whole S support, especially for Hoshido family, it's just...aaaah ; m ; (worse than M!Kamui x Soleil imo lol)

*coughs* well hello ~ THAT aside, my guilty confession is that I absolutely can't stand Zero ; m ; I want to love all the characters so badly, I just...can't. I also really dislike F!Kamui x Takumi and Hinata x Oboro ~ their supports are pretty bad, especially if you have a good understanding of Japanese and compare it to all the other support options sighs

OBORO by far... to a lesser extent but second nonetheless is Belka, Takumi, perhaps Sophie, Luna, Hinata, Leon, eeh idk. But Oboro is my #1 for sure xD I would list all the reasons why but this website couldn't handle it lolol

Holy lancer all the way -though she looks really cool in witch class (too bad she has bad mag sighs) this is the Oboro that I'm running (I think her crit could be better, gotta work on that) also copycat is only for grinding purposes, I usually run vantage or warp maybe ~ idk I picked up too many skills for her xD

The comic anthology was actually really funny (Saizou was pretty hilarious and I loved the takuobohina one) I have high hopes for the Nohr one, though I probably will be opting out of buying it ~ If I hadn't bought the Hoshido one and 4koma, I totally would have gotten all three together though sighs also the artist who drew the cover for the Hoshido anthology didn't actually have a comic, I think ?? (at least not that I remember -if they had one, it was better drawn than the actual cover, which I am very upset about ><) but Nohr cover is really cool, I like all the character placements and Aqua just looks awesome ( that hairr ~ * q * ) ~

I feel like all child units have the potential to be "great" (depending on who their parent is; I mean you can make a really strong anything if you choose the right asset/flaw for your Kamui and marry someone to get the optimal child then mass buy skills from other players, and all of that kind of goes into unit optimization), so not really taking them into consideration. I've found Charlotte, Oboro, and Takumi to be pretty amazing, they're always on my team for every run. Sakura, too; Charlotte has massive HP and can easily get a 100% crit rate; her only weakness is against mag units, but she could probably get some skill to counter that (or can she get vantage?), I usually just keep her away from those and she can take out anyone else // tank any other attacks for me. Oboro's pretty much great in every way, her critical rate is pretty high as well and she takes damage well too. Same applies to Takumi, though if I HAD to say he had a weakness, it would be his vulnerability towards enemy units next to him (since he's an archer, and imo he does best in that class so I keep him as one), and no mag means no shining bow. Sakura is pretty great with a shining bow, but I've been running her as war priestess + servant's joy which probably isn't the most effective usage for her, but it works and she gets things done ~ * U * (tbh her str isn't bad either, I think she's just a very good unit in general, and the fact that you get her early on really helps) Kazahana really impressed me in my lunatic run, but not so much Hoshido run, so I'm very conflicted about her ??? for lunatic, her dodge rate is incredibly high and she can hit hard. I'm still not very sure on what's up with her so I'm going to do a bit more testing around and whatnot before I put her on my list xD Oboro!Kisaragi, STR asset Kamui!Foleo, and Kanna are really great too, though I'm not going to touch too much into child units because reasons as stated above

Last few hours, voted for Takumi and Oboro again ! I hope Oboro is high up there ; U ;

aslkfdj OH my, I did not know that !! thanks for telling me, I was able to get a scroll for Oboro ; U ; the first time I ran the map...I was literally one turn away from her showing up, so I'm beating myself up a bit for missing her xD but yes, definitely helpful, thanks again ! also replaced flamboyant with breaking sky, so that should help. aah thanks for the in depth insight !! * U * I'm definitely planning on keeping her as a managarm (I seldom reclass units) but hnng that berserker set up is...quite tempting ~ I might try it out for my lunatic run, thanks for the help ! but yeah, she's sitting at 37% crit rate right now, which isn't too bad, but I'm expecting more of her since she's charlotte's daughter lol and yep, Velour has pretty nice HP and a handful of skills that keep her nice and healthy at all times. Though she probably doesn't need magic counter, so I'll see ~ also screenshotting this on my tablet so I'll be able to refer back to it xD

aah that makes a lot of sense !! hnnng I wish I saw this months ago before I made my decisions xD I never thought perhaps people were telling me to go Sakura!Mido because of CAPs aaah thanks for the clarification though !! ; U ; yeah, I never planned on using her for PvP team, so that's probably why I preferred Felicia as her mother so much more... wait but Odin ? what does he have to do with anything lol

ooh a question about class changes - I'm planning on getting warp for a few of my units, which means I'll have to make them all witches for a while; Let's say that I have Oboro who I've already given a few HP +5's too, and she's a level ~50 holy lancer. If I reclass her to witch, get warp, then go back to holy lancer, would she lose those +5 HPs ?? (same for boots); this is seriously the first game in which I haven't hoarded stat-boosting items, so I am pretty clueless. Also, what is a good crit build for her ? I'm currently running Astra, Flamboyant, Ogre Strike, Lifetaker, and Clone; I want to add in vantage somewhere, though I guess she doesn't really need it -I'm mainly looking for a replacement for clone, seeing as how I only use it for DLC grinding purposes anyway ~ she currently averages about ~60% crit when she activates battle, which isn't bad but probably could be higher ?? (I had a higher crit one for Hoshido run, though that was normal) aaand on another note, does anyone know approximately Velour's potential max crit rate w/ ogre strike ? I have Charlotte as her mother (with cnosistent 100% crit rate) and Velour's only at ~30%. a friend and I are planning on having a match and I want a crit team lmao

it might just be rng or whatnot, but I really disliked Sakura!Midoriko... she was very weak, even with the shining bow; I usually go Felicia!Midoriko, but was advised to try using Sakura as her parent so that Felicia could mother Eponine, and now they're both do very very badly. I would have preferred to do Felicia!Midoriko and leave Zero and Sakura unmarried, like my other runs; I'm planning on doing that for lunatic as well ~ (Also I don't even think Midoriko can get maid class unless I have her marry Deere, who I haven't even picked up yet. ; m ; Soleil's married to Foleo too so that option's out) but yeah I'm sure Mido/Eponine might be okay with some leveling, but because there are so many other units that outshine them, and they're just so incredibly bad atm, it's just not worth it to me anymore ><

Honestly, you're not missing out on much if you do. I'd rather have less child units than pair characters up randomly, plus there's a handful of characters that tend to do better than her just in general imo. I'm pretty disappointed by the Eponine I got despite optimizing her and now she's just benched with Midoriko (screwed their parent options up so now I can't even use either) Aand I'm going to second this, except scratch Lunatic. I did no optimization for a lunatic IK run and it went fine ~ (Nohr is manageable too, I tend to just use characters I like anyways) but seriously I think this is the first time I've heard someone this on here lol ; u ; also more on topic, I've fond Nyx!Shara to be an amazing sorceress // magic user, along with Elise!Ophelia (despite being really flimsy) and Charlotte!any non-mag child lol but I'm using Velour is great as well ! I'm on the edge with Setsuna!Kinu, but after leveling her a ton and giving her aptitude, she's turning out pretty good ~ her dodge rates are pretty great and with Astra she's bound to do some damage even if her str's pretty low when starting out and of course I always believe Oboro!Kisaragi is the best option for him, I don't reclass many characters anyways so idc if Takumi doesn't get an extra class or whatnot and with buying skills as an option...it's a no-brainer for me lol

RIGHT totally forgot to take that into consideration. That makes a lot of sense, considering how many hacked teams I've seen in PvP and just in general. I feel a bit better about my slow grinding now xD on a more on topic note, which is a better parent for Matoi, Aqua, Sakura, Kazahana, Felicia, Rinka, or Kagerou ? I'm pretty much sprinting into my lunatic run blindly and have no plans for anything -would any kind of Matoi potentially be a good witch ? *I've been going Aqua!Matoi for all my runs so far, but tbh I'm not too fond of their supports, so just seeing my other options ; u ;
