It's all a bit strange given that it'd make no difference at all if the soldiers were under orders to kill her. As far as I recall she gets to the mercs before ever being captured at all, right?
They did get attacked before Elincia was found by the mercenaries. From the platoon sent with her for protection only Geoffrey was able to escape and Kieran got captured, pretty sure the rest died. They hid Elincia away in some shrubbery or something where Ike found her. (Been a while since I read this though, let me know if I forgot something.)

Path of Radiance is my favorite mostly because of the worldbuilding. I also love the simplicity yet effectiveness of the story, and the characters are great. Besides that there's also the bexp system, the base conversations, and skills system. Ike is also my favorite lord, which helps in replayability (other FE's there's always the "oh I have to use this one again" moment, which made FE7 one of my least liked FEs).
I have to say Three Houses comes in at a close second though, for many of the same reasons.

It's not like Elincia would work much better though with her entire existence being a secret.
This, Elincia's existance is a secret, not sure it's even explained how Ashnard came to know of her. Did the Crimean and Daein royal families have close enough contact for this to be known? Or was it her being given a royal knight platoon to escape that gave away her identity?
I can think of reasons why Ashnard could want Elincia alive, but all would be just speculation. I don't believe the writers found it important enough to include a reason, or maybe one was given in the original Japanese but got translated out?

Titania as its not confirmed whether she is or isn't nobility and commoners can become Knights of Crimea
There is nothing pointing to her having nobility ties in the game. If it's not explicitly said, assume they're not.
16 hours ago, James Marshall said:Mist as her father was once A Noble or Daein but due to his actions is no longer A Noble of Daein
Greil came from a certain amount of renown, but was it ever confirmed he was a noble? I know Ashnard was the first to give the opportunity of becoming a rider to anyone strong enough, so Gawain must have had some sort of title, but not sure if that means he's a noble. And even if Gawain was a noble, as Greil he was not, meaning Mist never was a noble. I'd say no.
16 hours ago, James Marshall said:Pelleas as he is legally recognized as The King of Daein's King as he definitely isn't royalty but it isn't confirmed if he is or isn't related to nobility
During the game he is king, king definitely counts as nobility.
16 hours ago, James Marshall said:Most if not all None-Royal as its isn't confirmed if they are or aren't Nobility and among The Laguz some of positions of power in their armies are given to those that are physically powerful rather then those that are Nobility
Pretty sure that besides kings/queens there is no nobility system to speak of within the Laguz communities.
16 hours ago, James Marshall said:Stefan as its not confirmed if he is descended from Nobility but as he is the ruler of a large community of Branded even if he A Commoner he may qualify
Where was it said he is the ruler of said village? I recall him only saying he's from there.
16 hours ago, James Marshall said:Calil as she may be from The Countryside but its never said whether or not she is or isn't nobility
As with Titania, this is just wild speculation, she's a commoner trying to pass as something more, but she isn't.
16 hours ago, James Marshall said:The biggest doubt is Marcia and Makalov, this is because as far as I'm aware you have to be Nobility to join The Holy Guard so I'm assuming Marcia is Nobility but her brother Makalov acts, thinks and talks like a commoner so I'm not sure
Is that true? Is this said in a support with Tanith or does Sigrun mention this? That's actually an interesting bit of information I may have missed, as it does sound plausible.
17 hours ago, James Marshall said:Soren as he carries The Royal Blood of both Daein and Goldoa but has lived his entire life as A Commoner and even if certain requirements are met then even by the end of the game only his mother and uncle know who and what he is
Well this one is completely up to you, do you only count people who are recognized as nobility, or also those born into it but then lost their titles?
You can also ignore everything I said, your challenge your rules, how hard do you want to make it for yourself?

Sorry I meant to put a more challenging way of playing easy mode
If you want a challenge how about a Kurthnaga, Ena and Micaiah only run from endgame on. Ike can only take out BK and Ashera.

Technically speaking, pretty much all my runs have been iron man runs, since I've hardly had any game overs or restarts in my 15+ runs. However, I do often use the divine pulse, but that's officially not an iron man rule? =P
I even did a normal mode, autoplay run that was technically iron man. (I was only allowed to move Byleth, rest of the team I could only give orders through autoplay.) But that was way too easy, I should try that again on hard mode. (Though I'll keep using Divine Pulse because I like the mechanic.)
-
Generally speaking, no. Besides Volug in part 1 and the bird Laguz in part 3, I don't believe any non-royal non-dragon laguz are worth using, no matter whether they capped all stats or not. They will have no ranged attacks and will usually need their first turn to use a laguz gem.
(On easy and normal mode, it's really easy using bexp to have almost everyone cap everything.)
That said, you're playing easy mode, go nuts, bring whoever you like most. Kyza will do fine if you like him.

Also, Mercenaries need to get paid per battle. If your funds run out, they hit the road.
Also, a 5% chance of any given unit getting dysentary between maps. You can't field them and if you don't buy them medicine, they die by chapter's end.
Is it bad that I actually like these ideas and that I want these in the Binding Blade remake?

I think it’s what country they would side with should they enter Fodlan during the war. I think.
Okay, what route's war are we talking about here? Depending on what route you'd choose the war is changed completely.
Since Edelgard is the one who starts the war, I'm pretty sure everyone would side with the church if they had to pick at the beginning of the war.
-
...But the houses are based on geographical location? There's no sorting hat throwing them into classes or anything, it's completely chance-based on where they're born.
-
Mortal Savant really isn't worth it imo, and there are plenty of advanced classes that are worth staying in for an infantry only run. I'd go with the following if you want to make it easy. (If you like some challenge however, go wild, think outside the box, take some unconventional classes.)
SpoilerBLACK EAGLES
Edelgard: Emperor
Hubert: Sorcerer
Bernadetta: Sniper
Caspar: War Master
Dorothea: Gremory
Ferdinand: War Master
Linhardt: Bishop
Petra: Assassin
BLUE LIONS
Dimitri: Great Lord
Dedue: War Master
Annette: Gremory
Ashe: Sniper
Felix: Swordmaster
Ingrid: Gremory (She's not a bad mage actually)
Mercedes: Bishop
Sylvain: War Master
GOLDEN DEER
Claude: Barbarossa (or go sniper to keep to your challenge)
Hilda: Warrior (Though Gremory sounds like a fun build for her)
Ignatz: Sorcerer
Leonie: Sniper
Lorenz: Sorcerer
Lysithea: Gremory
Marianne: Bishop
Raphael: War Master

That's the reason why I said my Shadow Dragon three-part film would have the first part have Marth vs Jiol (the king of Gra who betrayed Marth's dad) as the climax, with the addition that Jiol claims he was threatened into betraying Altea by Gharnef, and the battle would make it sink into Marth that the war is a lot more than, "Defeat Dohlr and reclaim Altea". Do you think that would be a satisfying enough end if done well?
Sounds like it could be done well enough, I guess I'm not too familiar with Marth's story anymore to really judge this. (Time to play FE11 again?)
18 hours ago, Yexin said:although, knowing that the movie would have a pretty bad ending
I know Altina's story isn't the most happy one, but I wouldn't call it a bad ending. Also, Altina did not have any future-seeing powers, it'd be best to leave that to Lehran or their child.
I do wonder how that movie would pace though, sounds like the big fight would have to be in the middle of the movie for any of the politics afterwards to come into play. Or the battle would be before the movie and it's a romantic movie about the love between a Beorc and Laguz? Or mainly an action movie of Altina rising to the status of a hero ending in defeating Yune? How do you think this works best?

Should I keep Byleth and the lords in their automatically gained classes?
It's usually a good thing to do, but it is by no means a must. Bow Knight Claude, Paladin Dimitri and Wyvern Lord Edelgard are all really strong options. But if you want to get creative, that is totally an option.

I think I'm mostly concerned about Petra. Since she has a weakness in both reason and faith. But, I'll give it a try. Something tell me this isn't going to go too smoothly.
She might not reach the right ranks in time, but she'll get there. Petra's speed will make her a dodge tank either way. Her spell list also isn't great, but she'll probably have enough strength not to get slowed down by too much. Hmm, might have to use her as a mage myself sometimes, sounds like fun.

An entire Fire Emblem plot made into a movie, I just can't imagine that going well. Even cutting it into three parts won't work for me, because if the first part wouldn't have a satisfying end, there may never be a sequel.
I'm going to say something that may sound controversial; I believe Lyn's story would make for the best FE movie. It's not a complicated story, the cast isn't too large, and there won't be too many plotpoints that need to be cut out to make a self contained movie of 90-120 minutes. Only problem is Mark, let's just cut them out.
My opinion changes if it's a series instead of a movie. For a series I'd love to see Binding Blade.
Also, an FE movie would be different because it won't be yet another fantasy media using elves and dwarves, getting kind of tires from always the same fantasy "races".

What is the most efficient way to start off a female unit towards gremory (mage path)? Since they don't get spells until D rank, do I just have to instruct until then?
I want to do a run where all the males are War Master and all female are Gremory, but it seems kind of difficult to pull off.
It's not actually very difficult. As soon as you can, set the goals of the characters you plan to use. (Reason and Faith for females, axes and gauntlets for males.) If you promote units asap and maybe tutor them a bit, they'll hit the right ranks in time to promote.
For men I'd suggest going Fighter-Brigand-Warrior-War Master
For women I'd suggest going Monk-Mage-Bishop-Gremory (If bishop is out of reach, go for sorcerer)You'll want to master these classes too, since their mastery skills are worth it more often than not.

One other effect - if you choose to do a Seminar on the weekend, students will only go to one where the skills taught match their goals. You can change goals in a menu before selecting your free day activity.
Yes you can, I believe the button is X before you go into the seminar screen. (If not then it's R, I always mix those two up)
34 minutes ago, Voiced said:Hard/Classic
Is Lorenz better suited for Dark Knight or Wyvern Lord? His growth sort of indicate that he can go either way, but I'd like to get other opinions before I commit to a class path for him.
Wyvern lord OP. That said I do believe dark knight suits Lorenz better. (Never had a wyvern lord Lorenz though)

If you do make a custom set, I'd be very interested in hearing about it, if you'd be interested in sharing! You have some great ideas as a TCG player. For example, I really enjoyed your earlier idea to make an all-Green cube and tried it myself with the person I play with. It was great learning the different ways of drafting a cube, and we both had so much fun with the resulting decks!
That is so great to hear! Sadly my cube has been delayed (mostly due to covid I think).
I've been talking with a friend of mine about working on a custom set, I'll discuss with him on whether we plan to share. I believe I've also seen other people discussing a similar idea, perhaps I should see if we can bundle our efforts.
-
Not too happy with this last set, but at least there's a few cards I'd like to add to my collection.
Well, time to get started on a custom set. 100 cards in 3 months, should be doable right?
-
Can someone explain to me why there's no factchecking at debates? Only reason I heard is that not having that "makes for better TV", which makes no sense to me. Is this a political debate or a television show? (Or just a screaming contest?)
Also, I'm sad that simply yelling over someone is a valid debate strategy?

Characters who REALLY hate each other and just barely work together.
I like that, and it gave me another idea.
Certain characters might decide they don't like their orders. If you tell them to trade away their last weapon, they will refuse. If allies start dying certain wimpy characters might turn into a green unit and start to flee the battlefield
or even join the enemy. Or a healer might ignore orders and heal their support partners instead of characters they're less close with. -
Not sure if this will make it harder or easier, probably both:
Use Ferdinand von Aegir
If you want me to make it harder, you can't let him use lances.

So Final Fantasy II then.
It exists? O.O
Does it work? Do you think it'd work for a game like FE?
-
Something that probably doesn't work, but I'd still like to see:
Instead of a general character level, each stat is a "level". So instead of strength is 1, your strength is level 1, calculations remain the same.
Instead of experience to a general level, you gain experience to leveling up the stat used. Swing your sword? Gain dex experience. Avoid an attack? Gain experience to speed. Get hit by an axe? Gain defense experience. Etc.
Why did Ashnard want Elincia alive?

Ah thank you, that explains that part.
Also makes using her as a puppet a more valid strategy, since Begnion could confirm her lineage as well.
