Do any of you guys use DLC or SpotPass units? Or maybe even friend's streetpass avatars? I used Prince Marth for a while in my first playthrough, but he broke the game he was so overpowered (too much grinding, my fault) so I stopped using him. I'm thinking about using Michaiah in my second run. I'm reclassing her to Tactician because it seems like it fits her role better, swords or not (and so she'll have clothes). I tend to not use SpotPass units much because most of the ones I like come in at very high levels, and I'm through most of the game before I can reasonably use them. I did use Hector some, though.

MU x Lucina are great, especially since it effects some main story scenes later on (I think post chapter 22). I never got Olivia and Henry's S support but their B and A supports were pretty sweet. Sumia x Gaius and Lon'qu x Tharja are also awesome pairings.

Oh, great! XD Ah, as for her class...hmm. Difficult. I guess keep her as a Dancer? My only experience with her is through numerous reclasses, so I'm not so sure how good she stays that way. I'll defer to someone else's better judgement there.

I say use Lucina for sure. Make her a Lord -> Great Lord. I think reclass her to Lord first for stats though. As for her mother...Olivia! EDIT: Oops, sorry, didn't see you were choosing the pairings, disregard the last part.

Really?Well, glad I know that now. XD No big deal OP, it took me a minute to figure out after I started a casual run too.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, tapping the touchscreen switches which saves you have access to from the main menu.

I thought the 97 average thing was awesome, because that's what I rated it as. Anyways, I was a bit surprised no one else had married when I answered. Was also surprised I wasn't the only one with a Hero avatar.

Im assuming spoilers are allowed without being tagged here. I voted skirmishing, reclassing, and children. Reclassing is only broken with grinding thrown in to take advantage of it, but Morgan and Lucina are downright hideously broken on normal. I grinded them both maybe 2 skirmishes each and they could promote and solo entire maps. It's ridiculous. Actually, it's less skirmishes that break the game and more the super cheap reeking boxes. They're just too tempting to not take advantage of, for me.

Yeah, it's partially on me for not thinking that through properly. And yup, that'd probably work out just fine. Ah well, the overwritten file was normal mode anyways, I probably wasn't going to keep it forever. I am miffed that I lost a couple days of progress for Sacred Stones SpotPass characters, but no big deal.

That makes no sense then. I loaded up a map save of chapter 2, finished the map (this is from my bottom file) and when it went to save it defaulted to the top(the completed file). I don't use the circle pad ever either, so there's no chance I could've accidentaly flicked up or something like that. It's never happened to me in any other game but it's happened to me twice in this one (first file was a test run so I was just mildly confused when it happened) EDIT: Maybe it only happens if you load it from a map save? I think I'll test that out. Yeah, I figured out what triggers it. Basically, if you play your first file, load a map save from your last file, and complete the map, it defaults to the top. No more using map saves for me, thanks.

...why Awakening automatically goes to the top of the file list when you save, instead of the file you're currently using? I just overwrote my completed classic normal run with several maxed characters for a chapter 3 Hard casual run. I'm in the shock stage of the five stages of grief, I think (if thats one of them?). 40 hours. Gone. obligatory /firstworldproblems but still

That scene made me chuckle hard. Also, pretty much any scene with Henry. And sometimes Miriel. ...I really should pair them. Oh lord.

Alright, thanks!

Well, I thought Ex-whatever his name was said "a million soldiers" were coming to get Walhart, implying it was a million laying siege, but perhaps I'm wrong. A million in terms of the entire army would be a bit more realistic (although I didn't think you saw those types of numbers until World War I/II in history, but I very well could be wrong)

So many of the weapons are funny. I mean, miniature lance? Whut?

After you complete it once, yes. I have a question of my own. I have a Morgan with the following skill set: Astra Ignis Swordfaire Armsthrift Aether I'm guessing I should replace Astra and Swordfaire with Galeforce and either Aegis/Pavise? She's a level 13 grandmaster now and almost has capped all her stats, if that's relevant at all. I totally forgot what MUs asset and flaw were.

I don't know if you've studied World History in school yet, but I'm fairly sure even the Crusades never involved million soldier battles. Hell, how do you FIT a million people into one siege? The Valm arc was definitely my least favorite part of the game. You'd have expected IS to develop it somewhat the same way they did the Daein invasion in Path of Radiance, but yeah. Another issue I had with it is I was thinking to myself:

Skip to 16:40 ish. It may be a tad blurry, make sure the quality is 720p. Looks black to me, but its a little hard to tell.

I never hesitated, automatically went for the sacrifice ending. I was definitely expecting MU to survive, so I was pretty shocked when they kept it so ambiguous until that final scene. I still don't particularly like how they handled "finding" him. I just can't reconcile with the fact that there's no "omg you're alive!" scene between MU and his significant other instead of a basically recycled scene. I also hate that the final chapter's still accessible, it makes the game feel incomplete. Obviously, that would've been a lot more work, so I see why they did it this way. I just wanted a reunion scene between MU and Lucina(my wife) and Morgan, even if it had to be partly done using the game engine. The ending and the scene where Lucina tries to kill MU so he doesn't turn on Chrom are my two favorite in the game, probably. So dramatic.

I thought his support with Nowi was weird, until I read some of his other ones.

This is one of the biggest things I noticed, meant to put it in the OP. It was one of the things I hated about SD too. The maps are much better in this game so it's not as big a problem, but I wish there'd been something other than those two for sure.

Just wondering what you guys would like changed? I wish second seals were available earlier than chapter 16, for one thing. And that the children characters were a tad easier to recruit (I understand the reasoning behind this, though). I also wish the DLC or SpotPass characters had supports or could get support bonuses with each other, or something. Oh, and that DLC characters had new models so they looked like themselves. I understand it for SpotPass, but DLC? Unless they actually DO have models and I'm clueless. Roy's seems generic so I'm assuming none of them do (besides the ones in new classes)
