[Integrity]

I wonder how long you'll last giving turn-by-turns. I made it about twelve chapters in my FE8. :o

Just about everybody for the next ten chapters is recruited by Ike. That's it.

EDIT: Did you talk to Marcia with Ike in C3?

Edited June 23, 2010 by Integrity

IT'S A TRAP!!! Meh, I wouldn't have minded if that bandit silenced Rofl anyway.

Gaggles?

[Interceptor]

First playthrough of FE9 here, I'm going mostly blind so I don't want important spoilers. However I'd appreciate information on how to recruit scrubs as well as how the game works.

What are you looking for? Mechanics new in FE9, not present in FE7/8, that you might need to be aware of?

[Kinata]

Another FE9 play log? I guess this is becoming the new fad. Anyway, good job starting on hard. Everything below is much too easy.

Too bad you didn't kill the ch. 5 boss. He drops a nice Ashera Icon.

[Aquilae]

What are you looking for? Mechanics new in FE9, not present in FE7/8, that you might need to be aware of?

Yeah, pretty much. I skimmed over Biorhythm and the new AS formula, so I should be fine for now. Explains why Boyd had such atrocious hit in Chapter 4.

@Mekkah GAGGLES!!!!! Rofl is Gordin reincarnate.

@Kinata I didn't know about him until Gatrie revealed him, and by then it was too late since Titania couldn't ORKO him, heh. Is it like a Goddess Icon in the GBA Games?

BEXP: 1490 EXP (What? This seems way too much)

After BEXP allocation:

Ike x Oscar C

What's up with Mia's Strength, lol. Is it normally that high? For some reason Myrms always like to screw me over in STR (see: Guy).

Also, Soren doesn't get any BEXP because he's an annoying scrub that gets 2HKOed and doesn't deal much damage at all, and isn't good at killing Armors either way.

Also, I forged a +2 Mt Iron Lance for Oscar named Larry. Playing around with Forges is fun!

[Interceptor]

Yeah, pretty much. I skimmed over Biorhythm and the new AS formula, so I should be fine for now. Explains why Boyd had such atrocious hit in Chapter 4.

Some tidbits:

- Biorhythm not a big deal unless you are Boyd.

- STR is your con in this game as far as AS goes (sucks for Soren).

- you already noticed Titania's Canto behavior. This is the same for all mounts.

- effective weapons are only 2x mt in this game

- some characters give crit bonuses to each other, and/or prevent enemy crits entirely. Adjacent only.

- Shove. it's godly.

- you can Steal anything that is not nailed down. This includes weapons, as long as they are not equipped.

- support growth is chapter-deployment-based, not adjacency-based.

- you are only allowed one forge per chapter. The opportunities do not carry over either, so use it or lose it.

- skills disappear when they are removed, and cannot be switched once you assign a new one to somebody. choose wisely.

There's probably more, but that's what I could think of offhand that you might find helpful.

BEXP: 1490 EXP (What? This seems way too much)

It is. Welcome to FE9 Hard Mode, aka JP Normal mode. You get so much BEXP that it trivializes the game.

What's up with Mia's Strength, lol. Is it normally that high? For some reason Myrms always like to screw me over in STR (see: Guy).

She's definitely STR-blessed for you.

It is. Welcome to FE9 Hard Mode, aka JP Normal mode. You get so much BEXP that it trivializes the game.

Yeah, pretty much. You could just stop using it if you want something slightly more challenging, but since your playlogs tend to be efficiency ones I suppose that's not an option.

[BEST TRYNDAMERE PLAYER]

You get so much BEXP that it trivializes the game.

That makes me wonder if not using BEXP at all could actually make the game reasonably harder.

Turn 1:

I send Titania, Ike and Lethe over to the right to take care of the Vigilante fools. Titania, Oscar, Kieran, Ike and Lethe take care of 4 enemies between them.

Also, Soren seems to be Laguz. Nasir and Kurthnaga have the same... uh.. tatoo on their foreheads. Nasir was probably going to get screwed over by Goldoa if he left the ship because he is of Goldoan descent.

I forged a +5 Iron Axe for Oscar

I pumped some BEXP into Oscar to see what would happen, and apparently units autopromote at 21. Then what are the Master Seals for anyway >_>

Edited June 24, 2010 by Aquilae

[Anouleth]

-Gamble does suck, never use it. Apparently a trained Rolf can make some use, since he has decent skill/bows/hit boosting supports/innate crit boost, but Rolf has uh, other issues.

-I wouldn't be too liberal with BEXP. Astrid, Makalov, and Tormod have yet to join, and if you want to use any of them a BEXP dump is in order. They're all good once trained, but they need a push to get going.

-In the desert chapter, you can get a large amount of BEXP by killing ONLY the boss. However, the enemies in that chapter give enough CEXP that you might not care, and it's quite demanding to kill the boss without killing anything else.

-Yep, characters auto-promote at 21. Master Seals are for Mist/Rhys/Mages, since they level sooo sloooowly, and mages just get lots of benefits from more str/mag/spd/move/staves.

-Ike does not auto-promote at 21.

-The Knight Ward, which you get in the next chapter, increases the Speed growth of any character that has it equipped. It's pretty much the only way to get Brom/Gatrie/Devdan to be fast.

-Sothe is not an Est. While his average 20/0 stats are good, he's locked to weak Knives, and worst of all, he cannot promote EVER. Tormod is the real Est of this game, although you could also consider Astrid and Makalov Ests as well.

-Statue Frags increase CON, which is used for shoving and rescuing and absolutely nothing else. I understand you can get Brom to be able to shove Marcia with them... but I'd rather just have another forge.

-There is a hidden character in the desert chapter. I say 'hidden' in the sense that if you do not look up how to get him, you are NOT going to get him.

[dondon151]

-The Knight Ward, which you get in the next chapter, increases the Speed growth of any character that has it equipped. It's pretty much the only way to get Brom/Gatrie/Devdan to be fast.

Only for horse knights, armors, and soldiers (and their promoted versions).

[Anouleth]

Well, only those classes can equip the Knight Ward in the first place, so my comment about how the Knight Ward increases the speed growth of equipped characters is accurate.

[Renall]

Eh, I wouldn't worry about who to recruit. His instincts seem to be directing him toward the better characters anyway.

[Aquilae]

Chapter 13:

Deployed: Ike, Mordecai, Lethe, Mia, Titania, Boyd, Rhys, Oscar, Kieran, Marcia, Volke

I believe your chapter numbers are off. The river chapter is 14, the desert chapter is 15, and the indoors chapter is 16. And you didn't report (the actual) chapter 13.

[Renall]

Oh sure, it's always the black guy who doesn't get recruited.

[Narga_Rocks]

Chapter 13:

Turn 8:

Kieran weakens a Soldier and runs off. No one can recruit Devdan apparently, so Devdan needs to die. Boyd puts him out of his misery. Mia and Ike kill the rest of the Soldiers, Oscar kills the Thief. Marcia puts Volke down. Rhys heals Astrid.

That's why you check the unit list before you start the chapter. see who can talk to him. It's only the kids that can recruit him, and since you've (understandably) dropped all the kids, nobody on your squad could recruit him.

Oh, and why not build Mia and Rhys' support? You've deployed them together so much and it's not like either of them have any other (better) options.

[Aquilae]

@ Narga You can? Well, it's probably too late now, I don't want to redo that chapter anyway so Devdan will stay dead. I don't plan on using Rhys for long, I'm probably dropping him once another healer comes around since his speed isn't going to fix itself. Rhys x Mia isn't useful at all because Rhys is squishy and Mia can't be around him much.

Oh, and @uzy5o, I made a mistake with the chapter numbers =/

I just figure that Mia's only options are Rhys, Ilyana, and Largo. You clearly aren't using Ilyana, so there is nothing to lose. Even if they only end up within 3 spaces once or twice for the rest of the game, +1/2 damage is +1/2 damage.

[Jaybee]

Also, holy crap it's Red XIII... oh, it's just Caineghis. Anyway, Dehginsea seems to be the most rational among the Laguz kings, but Tibarn and that other guy are just pirate dicks.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW.

Also, there's a boss you can recruit later on. Unfortunately, you won't know how to recruit him unless you check up a guide. Kind of like that guy in the desert.

[Mekkah]

Also, I forged a +2 Mt Iron Lance for Oscar named Larry. Playing around with Forges is fun!

Is this your homework, Larry?

Don't hold your breath waiting for another healer. Rhys and Mist (who you're not using) are literally the only healers you have until Chapter 26, unless you promote a mage (which you're clearly not doing). So I'd get used to having Rhys around, since you really don't have much alternative.

[dondon151]

The prepromote sages that join in this game use knives, not staves. So Anouleth is correct; the next staff user that you get will be Elincia in chapter 26 (at least she has A staves and flies).
