From what I hear, all the progress you make does transfer, so you probably will keep all the money and experience. Though the case won't be the same for me because I plan to get the PC version, which doesn't have a demo. I'm just playing the demo on the Switch so that I can try it and because I wanted to see how well it'd run.
On the topic of that proposed LP... Honestly, it's more tedious to crank out the pictures than I originally anticipated. My main problems boil down to me not being able to resize all the pictures en mass (I have to do them one-by-one in GIMP) and having to take them on the fly as I'm playing. For the LP in this thread, I record footage with OBS, which is set to output in a size of roughly 528x297 pixels, then I scrub through the video in VLC Media Player and use that program's screenshot function to make the pictures. Yet with VC4, I have to do things completely different and I'm having a hard time adapting to that without getting frustrated and bored by the process.
So I don't know. I already resigned myself to only really being able to cover the gameplay before I even started playing, and after I realized I could just replay missions I figured I'll just play through the demo without taking screenshots and then later coming back, but... Well, I just need to rethink it. I may have to skimp on giving tutorials... maybe even have to skimp on actually LPing it through and just give a review/first impression.
And I can't use the screenshots as-is because, I mean...
This is just an unacceptably giant screenshot format. If I put a hundred of these in one post, it'd probably take readers a whole day before they're actually able to see all the pictures, and it'd be a headache to read all of my commentary in-between these pictures.
So unless I can get a batch or program to make them all smaller very quickly (or even just automatically), I'm leaning towards maybe making a first impression thread or something akin to that instead of a let's play.
Yeah a review/first impression post will probably be the best way to go, maybe 1-2 screenshots but otherwise not that many. Also just a random question I have that you can answer later. Does the hit rate/% seem really wack to you? Maybe I'm too used to good accuracy weapons but honestly tank, lancer, sniper, and even normal rifle shots seem to miss, and then shocktroopers can barely hit from like 8-9 feet away. Thank Naga the mortar class is really good with dealing damage and ohko enemies. They even have interception fire which is very innacurate but does hit every now and then.

I'm actually in the process of starting a short LP for the VC4 demo on Switch.
It's already kind of a pain in the arse because I have to convert the giant pictures the Switch takes down to roughly the same size I use for this LP, and I don't just have some kind of batch program to do that work for me. Nonetheless, I want to do my part in covering it and spreading the word.
Oh wow nice, I'll look forward to your reactions since I already did everything in the demo. It covers the prologue, chapters 1+2, and has an exclusive mission once you beat the other 3 levels. That exclusive mission gives you like 40k exp and 100k money if you A rank it, which I did first try, otherwise like 36k exp and 92k money which is still good for a B rank. Hoping it transfers exp and money to the full game that way I can scout abuse immediately lol.

Here's some good news, Valkyria Chronicles 4 demo is out on Nintendo eshop, PS store, and X box store. It at least goes to chapter 1 of the game and data from the demo can be transferred over.
-
I am hoping for at least 2 new character reveal trailers and probably at least 1 echo fighter. My possible predictions are New Fighters: Rex and Pyra, Simon Belmont. Echo Fighter: Dark Samus.
-
I would love it if they did that so new characters could be brought in. It'd actually be hard to predict who would win with units already in the game not being eligible, and even if they didn't do alts, it could be done so they can add the next batch of units, like the Mia + Dorcas + Lute banner.

Hmm, you're right, they don't mention it when Amy shows up in Part 4 like I thought. Still, they made her adopted rather than actually be Largo and Callil's child, and I can only assume that was done for a reason.
I know this is months in the past but is it implied. I'm playing through RD right now and there's a base conversation in part 4, before final map 1, between Yune and Stefan. Yune says the branded she's seen are Soren (tactician around Ike), Micaiah, Stefan, and the little girl around Elincia. Whish more heavily implies Amy is a branded.
-
Oooh I have three nominees.
Wendy: Already has been talked about
Meg: Absolutely a trash unit like my gods i benched her immediately and it is actually terrible how the game heavily implies Zihark should get with her cause he can do so much better than that, like Ilyana, she's a arch sage with maxed out strength on my current playthrough, no boosters either.
Fiona: Just the trash growth rates and weak base stats doesn't make her worth using, and I'm the guy who's using Astrid on his team, plus better cavaliers, Oscar, Titania, Kieran, Geoffrey, and even Astrid can be argued. Not Makalov though, he's trash but somewhat useful until you can actually form a team.

In short what I'd want is
- Barracks Increase
- More orbs
- Ways to get seasonals besides reruns or legendary summoning
- Ways to get five stars more frequently in general besides summoning
- Item exchange, I do not need 395 arena crests, so let me change them to orbs or feathers
For the last three options, a brief idea is a direct orb exchange for a character, it may rotate daily, and we'll say cost something like 50 orbs minimum for a random 5 star, that way people can still summon with the rng chances and others can hoard and get five stars, though since it is random they can get literally anyone in the game as a five star, hope you're enjoying your 5* Felicia or Lissa you just summoned.
-
Yeah series sort is what I want too. Also is that the starting roster? Well I'll be playing a lot of Marth and Cloud until I unlock Shulk and Roy.
-
Edy being the glue of squad 7? You know I approve. Anyways this seems really hard and reset heavy so I send you my condolences and wish you luck.
-
I totally can see Dallas, Karl, and Homer being tank operators though that's just me.

Spoiler
I don't know about Alicia being in that program but I'v at least seen many think Selvaria was. I remember that now though it is honestly weird how no-one noticed. So I know Riela in 3 was also an orphan and was adopted by an old lady. Many shunned her but she didn't care, think it was due to her red and white hair. Riela also healed fast but she credited it to her milk drinking, which apparently as weird as it sounds constantly increases her breast size and I think they're sensitive, IDK if that's true or not with that last part. VC3 takes place during this game, and though offscreen in vc1 squad 7 apparently met the nameless sometime prior to Isara's death and at Nagiar. Basically if I recall right the nameless are off the books special forces composed of traitors and war criminals. Riela is in cause her valkyrur healing makes her the sole survivor of many units in the army.
-
Yeah I'll check it next time, I thought quoting a spoiler would still have the spoiler so yeah. I understand, I refuse to spoil Xenoblade 1 and 2's story so yeah.
SpoilerI don't recall there being to much mention to Alicia's youth besides her being an orphan and bread maker, though I could be wrong. I also haven't played 2 or 3 so I don't know either, but if I recall right Selvaria was part of that experiment too.
-
Nice you got through that level, the next level I imagine will be hard with the mod since you're evenly spreading exp. And in base game it was hard as heck, until you leveled up classes to max. Good luck.
Also unrelated note, sorry for very late edit but I edited the comment into spoilers, I've basically been without wifi for a week and will be for 4 weeks so yeah.

One key element to Alicia that is so prominent that it's interwoven into the gameplay as a potential is her ability to just miraculously get healed because of her being a Valkyrur. Now, I know it doesn't always happen immediately, but that's usually in the case of her being critically wounded, which starts her transformation into the Valkyrur form. This is just a sprained ankle; why the hell doesn't it just get healed right there? Gameplay-story segregation? I know this game has instances of such, but this is a weird place for it to happen in. The devs know they're gonna make that an aspect of her character, yet they dedicate an entire chapter to her being gimped because of a sprained ankle? Or am I mistaken and there was a point in development where Alicia wasn't going to be a Valkyrur?
It's just really bizarre to me that this is a problem for a good chunk of this chapter, yet we later learn that it shouldn't have been a problem in the first place because she is literally immortal until she decides to become a nuke.
SpoilerI believe it's explained in in-game cutscenes that Valkyrur's only awaken when they are on the verge of death, obviously a sprained ankle isn't going to kill Alicia, at least not directly. And yeah becoming a Nuke is unstabling the power within them. I will say based off what I know of Valkyria Chronicles 3, Riela doesn't awaken until late in the game, yet apparently growing up she had Valkyrur level healing. due to *insert Milk joke here*. So since both games take place at the same time or in the same timeframe it is very weird about those two cases.

I'd say it's more to both series just playing the same stereotypes than anything. Re;Zero is hardly the first work to have the young French Maid outfits, granted I haven't actually seen Re:Zero, so I might be missing more of the specifics (does the blue haird maid ever commit suicide by immolation for example? Because that would be something worth noting), but from where I'm sitting they just look like stock character tropes.
Personality wise Rem and Ram match up near perfectly to Flora and Felicia with exception. Rem doesn't commit suicide that way, though she does kinda commit suicide in alternate dimension ways but it's more self sacrifice. Watch the show it'll explain it better I promise. Just know Subaru is hated, especially in the middle by everyone, but it gets better.

I finished the Re:Zero anime, and I've enjoyed it. It's one of the better isekai animes I've seen recently. Admittedly, I haven't read all the Light Novel/Web Novel chapters. I've only a read some of the early ones that take place where the anime left of, but I do know about most of the major characters introduced in the later arcs, hence why I brought up that one character earlier.
And speaking of Re:Zero, I just realized there's another set of Fire Emblem characters that strongly resemble two very prominent Re:Zero characters:
Yep, from looks alone, Felicia and Flora resemble Rem and Ram quite immensely. Both duos are twin sisters where one sister has pink hair and the other has blue hair (the two duos having different hairstyles aside). Even their personalities are quite similar. One sister is known for acting cute all the time (Felicia and Rem), while the other has a stiff and serious attitude (Flora and Ram). One is quite skilled at maid work (Rem and Flora), the other not so much (Felicia and Ram, though the latter isn't as extreme). The blue-haired maid sister of both duos also has crippling self-esteem issues (not to mention both have a significant other they are in love with), while the pink-haired maid sisters are more confident than the other (not to mention both pink-haired maid sisters were more adored by their parents for their talent). Did I mention both of these sisters come from tribes with magical powers? Yep, that too.
Seeing how the Re:Zero Web Novel began in 2012 and Fire Emblem Fates was released in Japan three years later, as well as considering all those previous connections I just made, it makes me wonder if the creators of Fire Emblem Fates used Rem and Ram as the inspiration for the characters of Felicia and Flora, despite the fact most Fire Emblem fans watching the Re:Zero anime (when Re:Zero's popularity really took off) for the first time probably thought the other way around (I know I was one of them).
yeah, the RE; Zero anime left me wanting more but I haven't checked out the webnovel yet, probably should.
How could I forget those two? I really do think they were influenced a lot by Rem and Ram. I also think Jakob is inspired a bit from Black Butler.

Huh, neat I guess, Being honest as a semi-fan who only got into this series to play with a friend the gameplay looks normal. However as much as I do enjoy fanservice I kinda like that they are getting rid of the jiggle physics, if I get it I can actually feel comfortable and play it in front of family, which is the main reason I haven't touched 5:LR is because of the jiggle physics and only occasionally play dimensions on my 3ds. Anyways that's a future release, I need to get good at blazblue before I pick up another fighting game series (cause Naga knows I'm terrible at street fighter and no longer as good at smash as I used to be)

FE15 is Fates, which has nothing to do with Marth or Archanea.
Awakening is 13, fates is 14, echoes is 15. I said 15 cause I said 2 earlier which is Gaiden

I'll be obscure and go with Tibarn, a strong, but kind and smart leader and rightfully feared for his abilities.
8 hours ago, Jingle Jangle said:The interesting thing about Marth is that he got mis-characterized at the time in Awakening from a gentle person to a warhero. I guess that the person and legend get blurred.
I know it's off topic but in my timeline theory that I believe in, FE 1,2, and 3 are ho aw the history books viewed the event while FE11,15, and 12 respectfully are how they actually happened, and this comes basically from it making sense some characters being forgotten (Ones like Kris, Katarina, Conrad,etc), the better reasoning on the situation in the remakes not being understood in history, as it's made for the general public, and mostly from fe 12, Kris does state at the end that they wish to be Marth's shadow and forgotten from history because Marth was the hero the people needed to idealize despite Marth really relying on the strength of others, also why would the Altean kingdom ever allow the truth of the assassination subplot on Marth to reach general public eyes, as it would make him look bad even though it was by Gharnef. That's just my theory though and is in no way canon though I think it makes sense.

Yes to the Cordelia and Erza one and double yes to Hinoka and Lora.
2 hours ago, Erureido said:The character on the left is Garfiel Tinsel, a character that is introduced in Re:Zero Arc 4.
When I first saw Rowan, I was immediately reminded of Garfiel. Both have blond hair, yellow eyebrows, and green hairs. Garfiel from the front even looks quite a bit like Rowan.
I really want them to hurry up with the RE: Zero anime purely because I need more of the story, but maybe I can wait till I clear out my anime backlog some more.
Anyways my contribution to this, Clair from Echoes looks like Forte from Rune Factory 4, though with a bit more armor and a cape.

I really need to try to play the dlc again, I think I beat the first map but not an A rank so have to redo it anyways.
Enough of my talking though, congrats on beating the dlc despite how easy it seems for you. Oh boy Kloden, yep I remember that, good luck with that.
-
I think the game heavily implies Kiran is of our world, with the examples given and the brave heroes referencing people cheering their names, which could be seen as the CYL poll.

I'd like Cordelia to be my mirage, but personality wise it'd probably be Stahl since me and him are pretty alike in most ways.
My Thoughts/Hopes for Three Houses
in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Posted
Oh boy, well here is my take to these questions.
1. I want the avatar to support the protagonist trio and it focuses on the trio. But I do also think that the women in the trailer will be some form of antagonist. My evidence for this is we see Claude attacking one of the soldiers that is also identical to the soldiers defending the women earlier in the trailer.
2. Tellius gameplay additions would be excellent. I specifically like the bonus exp method in that game, shove, canto, class mastery skills, and the Soldier>Halberdier>Sentinel class line.
3. Edelgard because she's the most memorable design from the trailer due to most screentime
4. Definitely getting the game asap after release, though IDk if day one or day one special edition. For the special edition at least I need to see what's in it.
5. A direct would be great to promote it and discuss more about it, doesn't even have to be a tree houses direct, a second Fire Emblem direct or a general direct with more details will be enough for me..
Now I wanted to share what I think the game will be like storywise, since the way I answered question 1 is based heavily off this possibility, as unlikely as it would be. The women in the trailer is most likely a high priestess or priestess general leading the holy army against rebels while also searching for pieces of the fire emblem (The house crests) and or falchion of this game. I say she is something like a priestess due to her resemblance to the mural seen at the start which worshipped this games divine dragon equivalent. I'm guessing that the church of this holy religion is very strict and has much influence over the continent. There is a rebel group, possibly from a country within the continent, who has control over a crest(s) and or pieces of the Falchion. I will say that they're probably going to be the real bad guys in terms of actions, while the church is against them. Now bring in Edelgard, a former priestess of the church who left (her lines of she'll return and don't forget me to her mentor, who I'll assume may have been the priestess or the girl who resembles Tiki sleeping on the throne) the church possibly due to a different view of religion and how the church has been using it to control the continent and Edelgard is also assumingly a princess of a small country, hence why she would be part of the church due to royal obligations but also not a big country so her leaving wouldn't be too impactful. Edelgard attends a military academy in her own country and learns under the avatar. Claude and Demitri are also from small countries and were not forced into serving the church like Edelgard did for a time and also attend the same military academy. Now Eedelgard most likely influenced her father into an alliance with Demitri and Claude's countries, most likely for not only military strength but possibly also an agreement to disagree with the church's hard fist of religion. Anyways Claude and Demitri temporarily return to their home countries and then Edelgard remains at the academy. The academy is then attacked by the church who found out about the upcoming mutiny (the alliance was done under the table in a way as to not bring immediate action upon themselves until preparations were finished. Edelgard and avatar defend the castle with the forces they have until Claude and Demitri pull an Ephraim and break through the enemy siege. The three are united and now have to liberate most of their countries before taking the church's center countries head on. Also probably clashes with the other rival group as well. Basically the church is an anti-hero group with misunderstood beliefs about the religion, Edelgard and co view the religion in a not-so strict way and want to try to change things, and the rebel countries want to completely dispose of the religion due to long times of oppression performed by the church. I know the whole religion plot I've explained is very very likely to be somewhat offensive to many groups. But I do want to say that I'm not saying that the church is wrong or evil or religion is bad, just different interpretations of the same source material happen and that may cause wars over it. One of the most famous examples in history would be the crusades, which coincidentally could be an inspiration for this with how Fire Emblem draws a lot from general medieval history (obviously it's not 100% accurate to it since it is also a fantasy series) and even if it's based on the crusades the character designs by no means have to be from that era, which we can tell isn't with Edelgard and co's military-ish outfits. In short this is just an idea I have on what the plot could be but I'm probably wrong.
