    Regarding the quest where the NPC asks for an axe, does it change anything if you give him a Devil Axe rather than a Splitting Axe?

    Also, I just want to confirm: you can only get 2 Devil Axes and 1 Splitting Axe in an Echoes file, right? Or is it possible to get more Devil Axes as rare enemy drops?

    Nope, nothing changes. I guess he's pretty lucky, haha.

    Splitting Axes are common drops in Astral Temple/Inner Sanctum. Devil Axes are rare/uncommon drops there.

    Whoops. Really sorry.

    It's FE7. A lot of things don't match up with the game and in a fandub project you start noticing what's wrong. Again, just a bummer we can't use this resource that got worked so hard on. The fandub is an FE7 fandub. (wink wink, check it out.) 

    I see. Do you remember any examples? Or did you note down any inconsistencies?

    Even though the script for that game was transcribed by hand, I can't imagine many reasons for lots of missing text.

    Echoes renown page: Dagon is missing, as is Tomb Lord from Lords of the Grave DLC. Tomb Lords give 20 renown (just tested and got 27 on Hard/Classic).

    Also... Risen are mentioned; is that refering to the "Masks" enemy group in Thabes?

    Oops, forgot those scaly beasts.

    Yes. I should probably rename them since not everyone knows what the Risen are.

    I'd just like to mention that the Game Script here has quite a few errors to it.

    Being part of a fandub project we have noticed that the script can cut out a bit of text, uses european spelling on a script that follows the US version, etc. etc.

    As such, we have started to create our own script so we can more accurately voice it without issues. Just wanted to know it's kind of a bummer not to be able to use one of this site's resources due to some inaccuracies.

    If you want to know more specifics you can contact me.

    Yeah, which game are you referring to?

    I initially assumed Echoes, but that game is almost fully voiced, so I am not sure.

    .....I caved.

    I blew 22k of my 25k feathers on this... fed her my only Shanna, my only spare *4 Palla and a *4 Jagen for Fury 2. She's my 4th favorite FE7 character but I didn't want this. She's not +Atk or +Spd. No friends, she's +Res/-Def.

    I feel like I gave up somehow doing this... I had so many plans. Ultimate Matthew, Brave Axe Cherche. Death Bridelia. I've set them all back after this... I can't even give her Gronnblade+ to Soren. I've invested too many resources already. I'm stuck with her now.

    But I'm tired. I'm tired of struggling, tired of failing over and over again. Tired of it being over when Soren dies and having no answers, no superpower. No other... capable green units! It's not the way I wanted, but Nino is here, and she will destroy. Rather than being fed to Soren, she will become his sister in arms. I hope this was worth it...

    I just can't help but ask... couldn't I have gotten the same result if I'd just *5ed my Gordin, gave B!Cordelia that Brave Bow+, my Shanna and my *4 Hana for LnD2? Sure she only has new moon but she'd be almost optimal, I feel like such a shmuck right now.

    37.7k. Quick Pulse guaranteed at this point. But it blows me that I had to do this to get there. 

    Don't feel bad. You can always get more feathers.

    Not +Atk or Spd isn't the end of the world. You could've been a poor soul who pulled a -Atk or -Spd when she was a banner character.

    Only time will tell if it was the right choice, but you sometimes have to make choices to get ahead of the game.

    I was thinking of 5 starring a similar Tharja to wreck Veronica, but ultimately decided against it since I had lots of backup units. I assume you didn't have that luxury.

    Anyway, right now, I can almost clear maps 1 to 6 in my sleep. Sometimes almost literally when I can't sleep and am bored. A flawless victory on Map 7 is generally a coin toss depending on the distribution of enemy units. But team 2 can usually mop up; haven't had to resort to team 3 for a long time.

    I do think there needs to be some variety. While the game does randomise units and shuffles the first 6 maps somewhat, after a dozen goes, you've pretty much seen everything.

    No idea how they can improve it though.

    Also, I'm not terribly fond of the grind either.

    I can imagine why it's there, but 70+ perfect runs to get the best reward (Quickened Pulse) is just painful. That's 490+ maps. Even if some only last a few minutes. (And that's assuming you get a perfect run, which you won't at least half the time unless you're GOOD or have $$$.)

    Any news when the rest of the free DLC will be released?

    Sadly not.

    Ah, alright then.

    To add to what's already mentioned, story-important characters can die in the Final Battle and afterwards because they don't appear in the story afterwards.

    Prior to that, they always "retreat". There is no alternate versions of dialogue where those characters do not exist.

    (So if you hacked the game to remove Saber etc. he would still appear in dialogue. The fact he can't die merely serves to prop up the illusion, so to speak.)

    Yeah, that's how the game determines what the rusted items become via forging.

    Also, forgot to mention, but the Ancient Ring from the DLC can only be loaded in that one DLC map. Unlike the other DLC items, which are in the global folder, the Ancient Ring is stuck in the local folder. Makes sense since you aren't supposed to keep it.

    I guess you could hack the Coral Ring to give it 40 Res or something : P

    Main team

    Azura: Sings mostly to keep units out of danger or to finish off enemies. Also fairly decent against reds with Sapphire Lance.

    Sakura: With +Def and Def +3 can take a few weak hits. Main use is healing with Rehabilitate, but if desperate can stall weaker foes with Fear.

    Tharja: Only 4* but the secondary damage dealer and bonus unit. Gains +14 damage with all three allies nearby. Has Quick Riposte 1 to occasionally ORKO Veronica.

    Cherche: The main damage dealer with +Atk and Brave Axe+. Does not have Death Blow, so has to make do with Atk +4 and special.

    Shout outs

    Tiki: Last resort to take out Veronica and Hector. Has Fury 2 and Quick Riposte 2 to hit hard on counters. But is generally on a team without healers so I have to be careful.

    Soren: Counters Reinhardt and Olwen kind of. Can suicide against Veronica or land the final blow.

    Olivia: The last resort dancer. Has Ruby Sword to tank a hit or two from Veronica, but barely does any damage. Just there to do Azura's job if team 1 falls.

    Bride Cordelia: Less mobile than Cherche and doesn't have WTA against anything, but serves a similar-ish purpose.

    DLC Spending Habits

    I'm conflicted when it comes to DLC. I actually really like the idea of DLC so long as it provides satisfying content beyond the main game. For all the complaining, I do think Fire Emblem's DLC is mostly that.

    The main issue I have is the pricing model. It just seems counter-productive and counter-intuitive for all the small bits and pieces of DLC to cost more than the full game. At least IS was smart to price the DLC versions of Fates's story paths at less than the full game.

    Anyway, as for my habits, I generally buy what I need and nothing more. That said, I have been swayed on occasions.

    Awakening, I only got the story and class DLC and some of the better skills. Eventually I caved and got the Golden Pack for easier grinding. For work-related purposes, I ended up buying all the DLC anyway.

    Fates, I dunno what I was thinking but I bought all of the map packs. No regrets though since every DLC offered something new. The only thing I was disappointed about was the lack of the final wave of Japanese DLC.

    Echoes I tried to be more careful with my money. At the moment I only have Astral Temple, Inner Sanctum and the Deliverance DLC. Later I'll be getting the Cipher DLC. Thinking of grabbing a handful of classes.
