Since the first week was unsuccessful week number 2 will simply be open to any theme for entry in an attempt to garner more entries.

Since I cannot find the topic that relates skirmish on Lunatic Difficulties. How is it different from skirmishes on Hard difficulty?
Are all enemies have stat maxed out like Awakening?
Haven't played on hard, just lunatic. The enemies aren't maxed out like on Awakening, they're perfectly beatable by your main party depending on your distribution of exp they can be under-powered and offer little to no benefit to you main party outside the items they can drop.

You're playing Phoenix mode there is no point in getting any new weapons. One harder difficulties you can forge better weapons to make your time easier since you need multiple copies of the same weapon to forge, but the game isn't balanced for forged weapons so they can get fairly broken which kills the entertainment value for me personally.
-
If you're just playing through, just get the children that are the result of units you use actively.
-
That's a promotion not a reclass. My Silas has been falling behind in Res so I'd go Paladin personally, but you could always class change him into one of his other class lines then promote and pick-up basic skills from the other line in the first 2 levels after promotion.

Probably not an axe murderer.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Dread Fighter Azama destroys all. He might start with all E weapon ranks, but that don't stop the Troll Train. While the Ninja Bros could arguably be better, Azama is pretty much a waste of space as a Priest and Takumi outclasses him as a Bow unit. You literally cannot lose anything by doing this.
Also if you are going with Fighter Corrin, I'd suggest switching to Hero for a final class for Yato access. If you didn't know, it upgrades as the story progresses, eventually winding up with sky-high Mt, +4 Str and Spd (alongside normal Katana effect of +1 Spd -1 Def/Res), and it partially negates a really annoying skill that the final boss has.
Except you don't need to be able to use Yato to get the benefits and a Beserker with the +Str and the high Str caps work fine and while it's Mt is good compared to non-forged weapons it pales to many forged ones.

What exactly are the perks of Merchant? I did it for her and am trying to for Keaton's kid (aka Holo as I will call her for RP). I honestly chose it as it sounded cool...
For me money, you don't need extensive planning to beat the game and since there is no get rich quick dlc available right now toting around a Merchant for the extra gold is worthwhile for me considering I don't have interest in using Mozu for anything else myself. Merchants get to keep her Spear rank too from a 'beat the game stand point'.
-
Depends on what you want her to do, putting her into the Merchant class for some money can help your other characters and will let you build up your bow if you want to eventually switch her into a sniper for skills. I'd personally go choose the class by what Mozu is lacking from her previous level ups, it's not too terribly difficult to pick up skills later IMO. Personally I'd start with Merchant and work from there.

If you're just playing hard you don't need a whole lot of planning, but if you're not confident in yourself take a Female Avatar, Jakob makes starting out easier. Azura gets free experience from singing, Sakura makes a perfectly acceptable secondary healer. I prefer Hayato to Orochi for my mage, his personal skill and higher speed sells him for me despite his low starting level (which his personal helps him level). Takumi is usable right when you get him as is Oboro. Again you really don't need a plan but in order of how you get them:
Corrin (can be defensive)
Jakob (utility/debuff)/ If female Corrin
Sakura (utility)
Kaze (anti-magic/debuffer)
Azura (utility, but decent enough if you keep up with her weapon level)
Silas (All around, but a little slow)
Hinoka (Defensive/All around)
Hayato (Magic Damage, needs a little leveling, low survivability decent speed and damage, IMO easier to use than Orochi simply for the speed)
Oboro (Defensive-ish, debuff)
Takumi (Useable from start Archer, good exclusive weapon)
Ryoma (Duh)
Really depends on your RNG too.

I like Dwyer better than Ignacious personally. Butlers with Flame Shuriken can make some use of Nyx's Magic mod.

Just because something is trademarked doesn't necessarily mean they'll use it, it can and has been a simple if they want to it's there.

Iron is easy to come by in-game so that's probably what you'd use for the main game. Outside of that you're going to want to forge the weapons that become blatantly broken like Subaki's Pike or the always op'd Brave weapons. Subaki's Pike double the Mt on the weapon if Skills is higher essentially means you're getting +2 for every point it increase instead of +1 if you're giving it to the right person, same with the Brave weapons. Of course since the legitimate means of obtaining these weapons can be limited in game it's not quite that simple in just picking what's best it really comes down to what you get in your playthrough.
-
Exists in 3d.
-
Forging an Iron Naginata to + 1 was going to give +1 Mt and +2 Hit for me not +2 Mt. Tell me there is some sort of restriction on these something like Subaki's Pike being able to reach 15 Mt then double it for 30 Mt just seems like a woefully bad idea if it follows those generic guidelines or a Brave Sword getting 17 Mt per attack.
-
Yes I know its generally frowned upon because its inability to double and is inferior to using the Yato.
However if one was wanting to focus on it for its tanking ability and its use of magic damage what would be the best set-up for this play style?
Boon on magic for damage or focus on HP/Defense/Resistance? Flaw in Str obviously.
Also which female character would be the best option to marry in Conquest or Revelations? Again its a toss up between +magic or +durability for me.
I feel cavalier would be best for secondary class for skills like Aegis from Paladin and Armoured Strike from Great Knight (-10 physical damage when initiating attack) if focusing on the tank aspect.
If you're going tank Dragonstone Corrin I'd focus on Defense or Resistance, but not flaw Strength. Use a Luck flaw, that way you can still use Yato when the Dragonstone's damage is reduced from the Dragonstone+, throw a few debuffs on there and use Nohrian Noble paired with a support unit that gives damage reduction and has Aegis, Pavise, Sol etc essentially giving you 10 skills and sit there. Problem is it's not 1-2 range more than anything IMO, the no double attacking can be dismissed through Wary Fighter to an extent putting your offensive turns on more even terms.

There were reasons the US did those things to them. 1. They were allied with the Nazis and all, and 2. they bombed our Pearl Harbor which wasn't even provoked. The US wasn't even really that involved in the war until that happened. Also, if the US hadn't dropped those A-bombs, a lot more lives might've been lost in both countries in the long run. I remember learning all this in my history classes back in high school, and found it rather interesting.
Also were going to bomb Kyoto, but changed it before we did for the history that would have been lost to Japan and all things considered I'd say that was rather considerate too boot.
-
If anything, I wouldn't even blame Japan for viewing the west as aggressors--Japan's historically on rocky terms with its neighbors and has been very aggressive to us in the past century, but looking back at American-Japan relations--America's the reason Japan got 2 nukes dropped on them and no longer has an army. America's the one who showed up to Japan's door with a shitload of boats and forced them to modernize in the first place.
America stayed out of the World War for decent while and Japan totally didn't bomb Pearl Harbor in an undeclared act of war right?
Which nations do you think are tied to Nohr? Looking at the Topography the closest I can see is North Italy, Western Austria, or Switzerland.With the class system getting English/French mostly with hints of Nazi Germany/Fascist Italy. the topography has little to do with anything

You know, I just thought of something.
Where was this amount of outrage for Plegia?
You know, Plegia. The desert country of dark-skinned people unless you were a main story playable? And they were also the "evil" country? I'm sure there's some unfortunate implications in that, along with all the main story playables being pale white. While there were people who did notice and point it out, where was this level of outrage?
Or is it okay when the "good guys" are the pale pseudo-Europeans?
Makes you wonder.
It's my favorite Fire Emblem to date because I'm so "outraged" right? Sounds legit.
The game is heavily Hoshido bias so I would say it's more towards nationalism than outright racism.I went with racism simply because it appears to me to be several European countries tied into Nohr and I wanted to lump them together, but it would seem the choice of words brought out those looking to cause drama like Sunwoo when it was a simply inquiry I do believe I mentioned in the opening that I didn't care i.e. wasn't offended at all, but yet some people just want to put words your mouth on these sort of things.
-
To be honest, Nohr seems to be the designated "evil kingdom". The whole living in a wasteland, wearing all black and being lead by what seems to be Ganondorf. It's more that they're trying to make them seem rather dark than necessarily trying to portray Europe in a bad light.
In short: Look really hard and you can see anything!
It was mentioned here (on Serenes) that Jynx was racist, surely they didn't mean for a children's character to be racist and yet there it is, people took it that way and were offended by it. Something doesn't have to be intentional to be racist and a magical land where the sun doesn't shine is called London so they actually nailed that part without any bias and while Nohr is the designated evil kingdom they chose to give it very few redeeming qualities despite being able to play as Nohr when they could have centered it around a single tyrant in Nohr rather than making it entirely 'evil' throughout the kingdom. (which is a credit to the poor writing more than anything, but still.)
Lumi hit the nail on the head perfectly. American media doesn't do a very good job portraying other nationalities or ethnicities all that well (or sometimes at all), but I don't think it's out of ill-intent. Likewise, whether Fates is "racist" or not I don't think that is the intent. I'm not going to cry foul on only one but not the other, because it's basically the same problem.
I don't know why y'all are trying to say I'm saying it was intentional, not once did I say it was nor am I exactly "crying foul" which would imply it matters at all, just saying it comes across that way.
The real question is: If you actually believe that, how are you going to respond? Will you skip this game to preserve your own sense of morality? Or are you just trying to stir up drama because lol internet?
The ones stirring up drama are the ones that are overreacting to it not me by simply posing the question. You don't feel that way, the answer is no, move on, no drama, when people start acting as if I'm screaming bloody murder or trying to 'instigate' something they are the ones causing the drama. Like now you posing hypothetical instigating questions like that is the one causing "internet drama".

Wait, does that mean the friend zone each other, and then have a kid?
Friends with benefits and no birth control = kid.

Oh, please.
If you think Japan vs. West is bad, then I don't know what you'll even think about Japan vs. the rest of the East.
Whether or not there's racism in Fates (I'm leaning towards "not", btw), I've seen and heard of Japan doing far worse to its fellow eastern neighbors … especially Korea and China.
It is East versus West, but that's not the issue, the issue is that they paint the Eastern side in a much better light than the 'evil warmongering" Westerners, that's all. I never said I thought it was 'bad' either so no need to put words in my mouth in that regards, I'm merely saying I feel like there is anti-Westerner sentiment in the portrayals of the two sides.
-
Nohr is basically Europe and Hoshido is more or less Japan right? Well Nohr has serial killers, warmongers, and in general the people with the character flaws and the main villain is Nohrian, meanwhile Hoshido is portrayed as once peace loving nation that the Nohrians ruined. I mean I don't care or anything, but I do feel it has at least some racial connotations against Westerners, anybody else feel that way? Additionally the classes that one might deem 'evil' or 'dark' or what have you all pretty much belong to Nohr as well. Why are all Butlers suddenly Ninja Assassins just to fill class void? Is it because it's always the butler who done it? The butlers seem more like castle stewards than butlers to me as well, but that's neither here nor there.
Not really part of this, but if they're going to go with French names for some skills, and give us werewolves which are germanic in origin they could have at least called them Blutbaden.

Jakob, he has quickly become one of my favorite fire emblem characters.
Do debuffs stack?
in Fire Emblem Fates
Posted
To a degree the highest in each category debuff 'stacks' with debuffs in the other categories. One shuriken that reduces def and res will do so on a unit already hit with a shuriken that reduces skill for instance. Stat reductions stack ad infinitum, but only apply the stat reduction if the attack makes contact and the unit wielding such an item is the lead unit.
