How do they do so that their sweaty fucking hands don't erase half the drawing and/or turn it into a wasteland of dirt patches? How do I hold the paper without putting my hand on it, goddammit?

But generally i agree yh. Especially with how team composition matters thanks to it. But Unit types add to that as well I haven’t been using breaking much since the early game, tbh. This is because, for the most part, you can’t take more than one hit on enemy phase without dying, unless you’re in the class that can’t be broken. Then on player phase leaving anyone who isn’t like Timerra or Alear in enemy range is a bad idea, so whether they would get countered or not doesn’t really matter unless it would kill them. And it doesn’t work on bosses so y’know. 5 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Joke's on the enemy, though. Critdon is an even more unstoppable force of nature now!

Sooks Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Oh so apparently the enemy AI in this paralogue prioritizes the crystals over anything else. If there is a crystal in their range and they can kill a unit, they’ll go for the crystal. Well. That made everything easier. 24 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: Being quick I suppose.

Acacia Sgt Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 You know, the avid fanfic writer in me has been thinking up Engage related ideas. Among them are, I'll admit, a what-if scenario for the story where The Funny of Chapter 10 is avoided... but also make it so we still get that Spoiler Six vs Six Emblem clash at Chapter 17. Which, naturally, means spacing more when you get certain Emblems. Some ideas I had for that are Spoiler Morion does bring Roy with him to fight Hyacinth, so when he falls... yep, the Ring gets taken. Ivy is only able to take one Emblem with her instead of two. I was thinking it'd be the Lucina one, so that Corrupt Hyacinth has Lyn instead at Florra Port. Alternatively, it is Roy who she managed to take away from them. Which would likely make Diamant and Alcryst be even more receptive to welcome her in, as she basically brought Roy back to them. But then, you may ask, how does Chapter 11 goes then? Well, I was thinking that Spoiler Alear and company realize that they may have five Emblems with them, but at that point Elusia also has five... plus Sombron and Veyle are right there. So a tactical retreat ensues as the balance of power is still favoring Elusia. They still get funneled to run south in the direction of Solm, but instead of a complete hopeless run it's more a proper clash against Veyle and the Hounds. I'd take a side note to comment this would allow Eirika to show up much earlier than all the way to the events of Chapter 16! Granted, because of this, it means that Spoiler Elusia is down to four Emblems to Alear's six. Which means both Corrin and Ike have to be taken by Elusia. Corrin is easy, since being isolated in some ruins means the Hounds can get in, take the ring before Alear can, and leave behind the Corrupted as a distraction to either escape or take the Ring to begin with. Now granted, it'd be harder with Ike, but I was thinking... maybe Timerra didn't actually took the Ring, but Alear is still directed to find her. So when the Elusians invade the castle... surprise! Turns out it was in the doodad drawer after all, so it gets easily snatched away. At the same time, this means Hortensia isn't allowed to keep the Ring she took once her mind-control is broken. Like, likely Zephia grabs it before escaping herself. Also for this the Hounds too would be using the Rings to balance things out too. Between the three that are present for that chapter and Hortensia, that's the four they'd currently have accounted right there (sure, they'd also have Ike, but they wouldn't have a way to activate it right there). That's all I have so far. Granted, I know Engage did things in certain ways, mostly due to wanting to do all the nods to the past games due to Anniversary Game and all that, but... well, in a fanfic, I don't have to abide to that, now don't I? Alright, this is where you guys begin to say my idea sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Okay so before I saved all the crystals because enemy AI but unless they have the same AI after getting Byleth’d, it’s not worth the effort for an elixir and talisman. But even then, the fliers simply have too much move for where the enemies are. I think it’s time to abandon the crystals, because I don’t feel like doing the map again for an elixir and talisman (and idk how to survive the last stretch without browning my army back together, although not having wasted Eirika’s skill would have helped.

Armagon Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Guys holy shit. So thanks to the YouTube algorithm, I have found out something: Fire Emblem Engage has an alternate bad ending. As in "Link failed to stop the moon" type of bad ending, which you get by getting a game over in the final battle. I imagine most players would go without seeing this at all and it's obviously not something you're intended to get, especially considering this is the first time Fire Emblem has done this but I'll post it here (it does show the final map near the start FYI) Spoiler This is the darkest possible fate out of any Fire Emblem character. Alear and Veyle are the only survivors except Veyle's evil side comes back permanently and Alear is an Emblem, which means she plays by Emblem rules.....which means she can be summoned as a Dark Emblem. But unlike the others, she's fully conscious. Conscious yet no will of her own. Sigurd, the House Lords, Hector, Azura, they got nothing on this. Cause they just die and that's it. There are fates worse than death. 4 hours ago, Lightchao42 said: I'd say Legion and Iris have a chance of showing up, but they might stick to just the Showa monsters...

Then if you cancel that (or just plain can't in the higher difficulties I guess), you get the option to quit, retry while keeping EXP, and retry without keeping EXP.
