I'm sure you're all sick of seeing these, but I wanted to do one alongside my Conquest PMU, which I need a break from. I'll be doing this in Birthright on Hard/Classic (because I don't feel like putting in the effort to go through 6 chapters on Lunatic to get to MyCastle), and as I said in the title, I'm in the US. Your Corrin must be between levels 9-11. They can be in any class with the exception of Cavalier (since that's my Corrin) and have any 1 skill of your choice. Set up your reply like this: Corrin Name: Castle Address: Boon/Bane: Class Path (Fighter --> Berserker, for example): Skill: I'll take 10 Corrins including my own, since I already have a couple. Make sure your Corrin is away from the throne and set to hold, as well as any other units you have. Paladin!Titania Spear Master!Alice Hero!Aivelon Sorcerer!Shawna Priestess!Nozomi Master Ninja!Ninja Corn

Kaze, Scarlet, female, and Birthright. I would've chosen Revelation for my favorite of the three, but beginning is so frustrating and irritating to me (especially chapters 9 and 11) that I just can't give it that spot.

Pretty much what NekoKnight said is what I'd love in a new FE game. It wasn't a huge problem in Awakening for me, but in Fates, the amount of Avatar worship and stupid decisions on the Avatar's part is insane. I want the Avatar to be customizable beyond their facial features, hair and voice, and have what they do actually matter. Make the Avatar flawed, and have others actually understand and reflect on the Avatar's decisions. Your sword exploded in the middle of the town square, rendering their queen and countless citizens dead? Even if it wasn't the Avatar that caused that explosion, it doesn't mean they should be told 'no no it definitely wasn't your fault' by literally everyone except for one person, which is exactly what happens in Fates to Corrin. Give them decisions to make and have others really react to the Avatar in other ways than worshipping them and forgiving their every mistake. While there was some Avatar worshipping in Awakening, it wasn't as pronounced as it was in Fates. What makes it worse is that Corrin is royalty of literally every kingdom, so people that would normally be dead set against joining Corrin would just because 'oh they're royalty, so I must'. /begin new rant Speaking of Corrin, his personality annoys me. Maybe it's only female Corrin since I've only played as a female in Fates, but Corrin is incredibly naive and the typical hero, with wanting to save the innocent and refusing to harm anyone if they can't fight back. This kind of personality makes me wish we could choose how our Avatar acts, and changes the story, even if it's just dialogue. It would make me so happy to have an Avatar that I can actually understand personality wise, and make the situations they're in more believable. /rant over TL;DR: Stop Avatar worshipping and let us choose their personality, as well as further customize their appearance.

So I'm on Chapter 8 right now and it's been going fairly smoothly. I'm working on the supports for Subaki and Silas to get their kids as soon as I can, and no one has been lost yet. So far, so good.

Can he? I looked and didn't see anything, but I probably just skipped over that by accident. Thanks for the heads up! EDIT: Yup, I skipped right over it. He can.

Alright, everyone! That's the 15 units for BR, so I'll begin and update on my progress once I actually get somewhere.

Just one more unit before I can begin! I would appreciate a first gen unit as I have 6 children, but children can also be suggested for the last unit. (I am also willing to open a few extra spots for children's parents if they don't have any parents in the draft already.)

I wonder how the Rainbow Sage will react to Eve and her true army? It's safe to assume he'll know who Eve is, so I wonder if she'll force him to grant her power through force.

Just two more units needed before I start! This won't be an LP, though I'll probably post updates here and there about how the team is going. And I've changed what I'm doing a bit - I will be grinding for supports in Challenge levels, but I will avoid getting levels as much as I can.

Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying that, sometimes the combinations with the ! confuse me.

Are you suggesting Izana as a Basara with Kana as a support, or the other way around? Izana is already drafted as a Lodestar, so that won't be possible.

BR was my first FE game and I kinda sped through it (yes, it was practically Ryoma Emblem), so I'd like to play through it again as a PMU. I'm hoping to get unique combinations and make this playthrough enjoyable. EDIT: I now have my 15 units! Thank you for your contributions, everyone. Here are the rules: - I will be using 15 units total including Corrin, and you can include children. (Kana will be male as my Corrin is female.) - This is Hard/Classic with support grinding only (I will avoid grinding levels as much as possible), so only 2 Dread Fighters and 2 Dark Falcons (Witch and Ballistician have already been drafted). You don't have to use any of those classes, but they are available. - Please tell me exactly how to get any classes you suggest so I don't have to waste time looking it up. Units may be reclassed to anything they can get (if a class requires an S or A+ support with another unit, please specify who). - If you wind up drafting a child, try to ensure that at least one parent is also drafted with them or already on the list. - One person may choose the boon, bane and talent of Corrin if they are drafting them. The appearance has already been decided via the Kamui Customizer. 1. Wyvern Rider!Corrin, +Str -Lck (S Izana) 2. Lodestar!Izana 3. Witch!Rhajat 4. Ballistician!Hayato (S Azura) 5. Basara!Kana (Izana) 6. Priestess!Sakura (S Subaki) 7. Butler!Shigure (Hayato) 8. Dread Fighter!Shura 9. Dark Falcon!Caeldori (Sakura) 10. Priestess!Setsuna (S Azama) 11. Master Ninja!Hinata (S Kagero) 12. Diviner!Mitama (A+ Rhajat) 13. Master Ninja!Subaki (A+ Saizo) 14. Great Knight!Hisame (A+ Sophie) 15. Kinshi Knight!Ryoma

The Gangrel and Validar arcs were fine in my opinion, but the whole Valm-conquering arc was just so boring and pointless. I'm playing through Awakening on Hard/Classic right now, and I dread that arc mostly because it just doesn't really add to the story. That entire arc could've been cut out and I would've enjoyed the game just the same. Awakening is my favorite FE game currently, but the Valm arc is just.. ugh.

Birthright is intended to be the easier version (it was my first FE game), with more units and a wider range of classes. If you wanted to play with Hoshido as well and get both sides of the story, then sure. It'll also acquaint you to several characters you'll be playing as in Revelation, since it combines units from both games. But the writing is lackluster, as it is for Revelation. If you don't feel like dealing with Birthright and just want the 'canon' version of the story, then go for Revelation.

Yup, there are. You can have supports with normal characters and the royalty from each side. Sakura x Xander is particularly cute.

I think I'll go for it, based on the input of you guys. Here's hoping that I enjoy it! :)

The writing's bad on all three routes, really. I find Corrin to be awfully naive and the stereotypical "hero", in which they can't do anything bad (sparing Kaze and Rinkah in the beginning, for example) and is constantly trying to help the innocent out. Wish it didn't take until literally the end of all three games for there to be any change at all. It's probably because there's three games and they had to dedicate time to all three instead of just one. But I agree, Revelation got pretty lazy after reaching Valla with all the royal siblings.

So I've beaten Birthright and almost beat Revelation (which I'm not finishing because I'm absolutely sick of the map design and the fact that you have to defeat Anankos' arms, head and the ball in his mouth? Like WTF?), so now there's only one path I haven't played. Should I pick up Conquest? I know that lots of people agree that it has better map design, objectives, characters and that's it just more like a classic Fire Emblem game in general. I am a noob to FE, having only played and beat Birthright and Awakening with two chapters to go on Revelation. I didn't pick up Conquest for this reason (Birthright was my first game, followed by Revelation and Awakening), but now that I'm more acquainted with FE and strategy games in general, should I pick it up? I know it's much more difficult with no grinding outside DLC (which is fine, I have Boo Camp and I don't like it, and I never played Challenges on Birthright or Revelation).

Before I got any DLC, trying to train Donny on any difficulty higher than Normal was practically impossible. You have to seriously baby him for several levels to get anything out of him, and then you had to use a Second Seal to get him out of Villager. It's just not worth it on Lunatic/Lunatic+, and not on Hard if you don't have DLC. I did use him on Normal and he turned out amazing, but it took a lot of time and I had to waste many resources on him to get him to that level. So basically, unless you're willing to dedicate lots of time and precious resources to him, he's not worth it. When I used Mozu on Revelation, I reclassed her immediately to Dread Fighter and she's probably one of my best units at this point with no more training than my other units. Donny doesn't have that luxury so early on.

You abuse DLC too? *highfive* I'm Kitten, nice to meet you. I too am one of those people who likes strategy games but kinda sucks at them. But I'm playing Awakening on Hard/Classic and only Sully's died so far, so that's good, right? Right?

More C-A supports would be nice. I feel like we've already got some good S supports, but there is potential for interesting interaction between frenemies and learning more about the characters as a whole, especially those we don't really know well (like retainers, they kinda just hop on the bandwagon).

If memory serves me right, no. Revelations and Birthright are very different in story, so there shouldn't be anything that spoils one or the other in terms of story.

That's what I hear from a lot of people. It's the only one I haven't played yet (not sure if I will). By previous Fire Emblems, I mean it's more difficult and varied than Awakening was in terms of objectives and map design.

"Smile, you're dead!" It's just delivered so well.

I sort of doubt they will, since they mostly got the types balanced out with Sylveon. But if there's anything Game Freak would do, it's randomly add another Eeveelution when there's no need for another one. Fingers crossed!
