Wonderful! Amazing! Spectacular! I have to say, your voice is really strong, and I'm surprised I only noticed it now. I would love to see you sing the rest of the song sometime later, especially the Revelations section.

THE SHIP IS REAL.

Thanks for the effort to do the left panel, it was hilarious! Makes me wonder why people continue to put Corrin in charge of the army though.

Thanks for the opinion! Nice knowing one of my OTPs is actually good :P Also what would the general opinion be for a Felicia!Selkie? I know her strength suffers a bit and her magic is boosted a little, getting +3 mod, but I just want to know what to expect when using her.

How did these pairings end up for you in terms of both children and combat-synergy? I don't really plan on using the children in the story, but I'll probably mess with them a lot in some of the DLC maps.

My god, that first picture of the little sisters gave me diabetes. Also I'm not surprised at Effie for coming that fast. Seriously, it's free peach cakes, who wouldn't want those? Now I'm all hungry too...

I'm not sure if you know this or not but just in case, certain personals are gotten from doing certain castle pairs (i.e. certain personal skills will only come with Valla x Valla MUs or Nohr x Hoshido castles). So try going to those types of castles more or switching files to match? If you're already doing this, I guess just continue to pray to Anna. Also why is everyone needing things I have surpluses of >.>

If this happens I will die of happiness. Except for maybe the warp panels. I haven't even played Thracia yet but I feel like they'll quickly become my worst enemy after I encounter them. While it would be nice to see some diversion from the Awakening/Fates style, it's all too possible that the next few games in the series will diverge a little less than before. Awakening/Fates were some of the the most successful games in the series so far and attracted thousands of new fans, most of who are only used to those styles. They might be too afraid of alienating them to actually try anything like before. Hopefully I'm wrong and being far too negative though.

Oh I'm not going to stop playing and I'm not going to stop having fun by breaking a game in two. I still actually have 2 playthroughs left I still need to finish (1 normal throw-away one and another Lunatic one), but I know that I won't enjoy it as much as I did before. I already felt the feeling at a smaller scale when I went from Conquest to Birthright, so I can only imagine the transition to Awakening.

Also as a quick note to everyone saying that Elise is not a teenager because of her behavior, I believe it. I know a highschooler that in all honesty, acts a lot like Elise with her bright, chipper attitude (and that extremely surprising amount of innocence). Anyway, here's what I think: Xander: 26 Ryoma: 24 Camilla: 23 Hinoka: 22 Azura: 19 Corrin: 19 (~ half a year younger than Azura) Leo: 18 Takumi: 17 Sakura: 15 Elise: 14 Shiro: 21 Siegbert: 20 Almost every other kid: 16-19 Kana, Midori, and Percy: 11-13

I always headcanoned three personal skills for my three MUs, given that Corrin is nothing like any of them and while Mysterious Appeal is useful, it's generic as hell. Last Stand: When HP below 1/2, +15 Hit/Avoid and +2 to damage dealt and -2 to damage received. Effects double when HP below 1/4. I really like glass-cannon builds, do I? White Knight: +10 crit and +2 to damage dealt and -2 to damage received when fighting an enemy that has previously fought with an ally. Brute Force: When selected from the menu, sacrifice half of the unit's defence and resistance to add to strength and magic respectively for one turn after combat. Unit also suffers a -20 Hit/Avoid in exchange for +10 crit.

Dang, it took that long? Not sure what that implies about the rest of the series, but I guess this is a good thing, huh? I just really hope that IS gets the right message from the sales numbers and focuses on greater gameplay + story rather than further emphasizing the waifu/husbando/romantic anime visual novel stuff though...

I do like Awakening - heck, it introduced me to the series - but after Fates, I don't know if I can go back at this point. I'm invested far more with much more characters in Fates than I was Awakening, and after playing Fates and the other older FEs, I find Awakening's gameplay extremely bland and unexciting at this point. Conquest has just the right amount of challenge and the great design I never really knew I wanted so bad. Also bonus points to Fates once again for the amazing OST and actually having a challenging Final Level in Conquest unlike Awakening's and Blazing Sword's. What about Sacred Stones you say? HAHAHA we don't talk about that final level.

Uh, yes. All my yes. The song has quickly become one of my most listened to songs ever. Thank you so much for doing this Miss Strober! Really, I don't think there is too much to avoid hate on the internet (unfortunately), but I definitely feel any hate that will be there will be far less now than it was before considering it's been ~2 months since the game has been released and most opinions are really positive at this point. And because all the haters moved on to games like Bravely Second instead. But I guess if you want to be really safe about avoiding hate, like others before me said, just turn off the like bar and comment section! Nah man, it's Benny in a wig.

Candace is easily the best of the bosses. She really should've been a normal recruitable character though, she seems like an interesting character and she might've given a different perspective of life in Nohr considering she isn't nobility and she isn't exactly from the slums either. But out of the generics... I've never captured one as it never really seemed worth the effort, especially on Normal. Appearance-wise, I love the Hero and Shrine Maiden though, so I guess they win. Lancer would've gotten my vote if they could actually promote though, because I'm 99.99% sure they can't.

After playing Awakening Lunatic and attempting Lunatic+, I'm perfectly fine with whatever enemy-exclusive stuff the game throws at me at this point. I mean, even Lunge Ninjas are better than Luna+ Mages on the first map of the game. But really, it's only fair to the enemy. We are smarter than AI and essentially have access to every skill in the game thanks to skill buying from online castles and ability scrolls. So if the AI has to deal with Point Blank/Bowfaire/Death Blow/Galeforce/Rend Heaven Sniper Takumis, It's only right that the enemy have access to unusual skills too. Also it's definitely more fun to play with, as now you actually have to pay more attention rather than storming the entire map if a bunch of enemies seem a little too easy to combat.

Oh really? Do you have another file you can try messing with? Or create another one and see? Are all the settings correct? This is weird, so I'm just listing random stuff here, but I hope it gets better soon. It would be a shame if you're robbed of Bond Units because the servers are acting up >.>

I hate Subaki's voice with a burning passion, but I hear it constantly thanks to his high skill leading to massive crit and skill activation chances in my file right now. "Watch and learn" is probably the one I hate the least.

This is pretty ironic for me considering I have like 3 and just got another one yesterday. SO MANY REPEATS. Okay, will do. What's your deal with fox tails? There should be a pinned thread about the crystal ball not updating on this subforum. But I guess to quickly summarize what to do: 1.) Update 2.) Go to any battle 3.) Enter the battle 4.) Close the DS for ~5 minutes (I've seen it work a few times w/out doing this, but it always works if you do this) 5.) Finish the battle The ball should've been updated once this is all over, but if not... IDK what to do.

Okay, I'll keep this in mind. Also as a heads up to others, I'm switching mine to a brand new Birthright castle now if it matters. Too lazy to go back to my Conquest one and to update every time, but I'll try to get better skills as fast as possible for my MU if skills are needed by anyone.

So, I created a bunch of bond units today: Daydream/Oni Savage Ginger with Elena Locktouch/Wyvern Rider Lavenia with Alessa (originally called Lavender but renamed for the convenience as I already had a Lavender) Good Fortune/Wyvern Rider Dill with Colin (originally called Dillan but renamed for the convenience as I already had a Dillan) Malefic Aura/Wyvern Rider Cassia with Morgan (NAME STEALER) Odd Shaped/Spear Fighter Sage with Yukari Vow of Friendship/ Wyvern Rider Shizuku with Xueqin Daydream/Wyvern Rider Gina with Juan (More renaming. My god the duplicates...) Daydream/Wyvern Rider Ginger v.2 with Bone Born Steward/Samurai Rosemary with Solaria

My MU is named Cassia. Also as a heads up to others, I might not be able to get on every day.

WHAT DID I JUST READ.

Least favorite is Soleil. That's pretty much a given considering her personality/gag and I think everyone else here has put out why I hate her eloquently enough. But my god, why does she have to have such a pretty design?! But other than that, I actually like a lot of the children? Siegbert, Sophie, Shiro, Forrest, and Shigure are definitely my favorites though. Siegbert and Sophie have this odd thing for me as the former is someone I can really identify with as I struggle with feelings of inadequacy and awkwardness too in comparison to my relatives, and the latter is just a shining ball of optimism despite all her mistakes and is someone I feel that I can't help but admire. Shiro is a character that is wonderfully laid back and entertaining that doesn't rely on any gags, and Forrest is a perfect example of a character that covers a serious issue and isn't played for laughs. He likes what he likes, and he's not ashamed of it. He gives Leo wonderful development too. And Shigure is just absolutely fabulous and I swear he's a Disney princess in disguise at times. He's extremely talented in the arts and is a very caring person overall. But I'm going to have to give the vote to Shigure, mostly cause he seems to have a little less love than the others. And because he's making me ditch my no-marrying children policy but let's ignore that...

As someone who is a relatively recent fan of the series, I have this to say: don't think to hard, just go. Experiment. Make mistakes. That's the best way to learn and develop your playstyle. You might make a lot of errors at first and reset a lot, but that's okay, as when you make them, you should be learning what to avoid and what to look for. Yeah this sounds pretty stereotypical, but it works. Really, just play more and get used to how YOU want to play it (and not the optimal way), as there's plenty of time to worry about optimization down the line when you're more comfortable with the game. Also to echo what someone earlier said, you'll probably not find yourself screwing up your team with Sir Lobster Lord around.
