I like the differential caps. I just wish the HP growths were so stingy in this game.

I've been using it to grind some supports while I wait for the scroll witch to spawn.

Darnit, I guess Nintendo just wants all my monies. Well OK. :)

Like many others, I like the gameplay aspects of the children, but their placement into Fates's story was really awful. First, there simply wasn't enough time for the Gen 1 units to have the kids at all. In Awakening, only Lucina had been born and that was during a time skip of two years. The story made it clear that the other married couples hadn't yet conceived which makes sense given that they were in the middle of 3 wars. In Fates, by contrast, we know from Revelations that only a few months at most have passed from the beginning until they descend into Valla. Second, the Deep Realms is just plain idiotic. No parent would send their kid to a place where they could conceivably live their whole life in what would feel to you 1-2 years. At the first visit when your baby is now 5 years old, most parents would be horrified and pull their child out ASAP. Plus, the story excuse for why the children were sent there is that they needed a safe place away from the fighting. You know, it's too bad that the army didn't live an fortified castle on the Astral plane outside the war between Nohr and Hoshido....oh wait, they did. It's just really hard to accept all that. I would have been much better to do a time skip. Perhaps destroying Garon in a major Act I and then going after the real threat in an Act II that took place 15-20 years later. All that said, some of the kids are really great characters though so I still get them.

My general view is if I am doing something within the rules and mechanics provided by the developers then it's fair game. Personally I hate self imposed limits because any failure to my mind can be laid at the feet of the limit. The problem I've had with Fates is that playing by the rules allows ridiculously overpowered stuff.

Do folks not consider buying skills through MyCastle battles legit? Or forging? I wonder because so much of the advice here seems to ignore those options. I know that DLC is considered out of bounds for a "no-grind" game. This is an honest question. I'm pretty new to the community.

I look at it like this, after the war, although the royal families are friends and all, the populace isn't. They even talk about how Leo and Xander are having to get their people on board with the new way of doing things. I see Valla as a demilitarized zone between Nohr and Hoshido. Probably the now sealed canyon, and some amount of land to the west and east that used to be Nohr/Hoshido. Possibly including now leaderless lands like Izumo and Mukushu. As for the Castle, I think that was a noble keep somewhere in that area. They brought back some artifacts from Valla, like the throne to make it all official. That's my headcannon excuse for it.

OP, if you live in Illinois as your profile says, you probably have access to Medicaid for health insurance. You also possibly qualify for SSI benefits if your autism/anxiety is debilitating enough. I know not everyone wants to accept government help, but it's there for a reason. I would look into resources here: http://www.autismillinois.org/resources/ They hopefully can put you in touch with some support. You don't need to feel ashamed of who you are or not being able to hold down a job. You probably just need some help, and we all need that sometimes.

No, I don't. But then I don't understand Corrin's reasoning for going back and staying with a 'father' that kidnapped you, killed your birth mother and adopted father (although you think he's your real father), tried to have you killed and keeps sending you on suicide missions.

I get stat boosters more often than not.

I can see this in Conquest, but for endgame and for the other paths, forging is insane. At +6 and +7 any weapon gets +10 and +15 crit respectively, assuming the weapon can crit. This can turn really ordinary weapons into better weapons than legendary weapons. For example, a Thunder +7 is Mt 16, Hit 100, Crit 15, Avo 0 and range 1-2 For comparison, Leo's Brynhildr is Mt 10, Hit 80, Crit 5 and range 1-2 And while it is expensive and time consuming to gather all the resources and the 128,000 needed to buy enough Thunder's, I've been happy with the results.

Taking Witch since you won't be able to (legally) make more witches until next week.

Cousins marrying each other isn't that uncommon. In many places in the U.S. or elsewhere it is perfectly legal. And royal families are notorious for marrying off cousins.

(M) Corrin v (F) Corrin Female Corrin every day of the week. First I think she's cute. Then you get two kids with most options. Additionally, you can be a witch and that costume looks awesome. (M) Kana v (F) Kana Strangely enough, I think male Kana just has more personality than female Kana. Odin Dark v. Nyx v. Ophelia Dusk The Chosen Family arrives! There is no choice here, Odin and his noble issue jointly win the day. These paragons of darkness, secret members of exalted blood, cannot but defeat the aging crone in the body of the young. Felicia vs Jakob vs Flora (maid/butler) Jakob, but solely because of funny convos. Silas vs Sophie vs Xander vs Gunter vs Seigbert vs Peri (cavalier/great knight) Sophie, solely because she can make enemies get naked! Hinoka vs Shigure vs Caeldori vs Subaki vs Reina (pegasus/kinshii) Caeldori because I love her grandmother (She is Selena's child in my headcannon always) Takumi vs Kiragi vs Setsuna (archer) I like all of them, but Kiragi can get just stupid amounts of skill with the right mother. And there's nothing that gives you that warm feeling like a crit in the 200s with Kiragi saying "Have a nice day!" as he murders them! Niles vs Nina vs Shura (outlaw) Nina, she's goofy but Niles is gross and Shura is just random fantasy charater. Forrest vs Elise vs Dwyver (trabadour) Love them all, will not choose and you can't make me! Sakura vs Mitama vs Azama (cleric) Mitama is best Other two are just OK Haiku for the win Saizo vs Kagero vs Kaze vs Asugi (ninja) I like Kaze. Seems like the only fully formed character of the group. The rest are very one-dimensional. Midori vs Mozu vs Yukimura vs Azura (etc group) Azura Fuga vs Ryoma vs Hinata vs Hana vs Hisame (swordmasters) Ryoma because of Raijinto Rhajat vs Hayato vs Orochi vs Izana (mages) Orochi mostly because she's funny Arthur vs Charlotte vs Rinkah (axe users) Rinkah because of Death Blow Percy vs Beruka vs Camilla vs Scarlet (wyverns) Camilla, why is this even a contest? Oboro vs Shiro (lancers) Shiro is the staff bro! I like Oboro, but she can't compete with staff bro! Effie vs Benny vs Ignatius (knights) I like Benny. He's based on an old trope (the frightening giant with a gentle heart) but they make it work. Soliel vs Lazlow vs Selena (mercenaries) I know everyone hates Soleil for her lecherous ways with young women, but I think she's a hoot. Kaden vs Selkie vs Veloruia vs Keaton (shifters) Meh to all. Marth vs Ike vs Lucina vs Robin vs Anna (amiibo/dlc) Anna!

Forrest and Shiro are my tops. Basically for all the reasons stated. Ophelia is a close third to those guys. The worst is Percy. He just seems like a joke character that's not funny.

I don't know if it has been mentioned, but the SaizoxBeruka support chain was excellent I thought. The C support made the rest sort of rushed, but it was so true to both characters that I literally laughed out loud.

In Revelations she can marry Kiragi.

Jakob won a lot of points from me on his initial support with the Avatar. I still get a chuckle when he tells her/him that she may not be independent. I know it's almost creepy to be that obsessed, but it was still funny. I liked Jakob/Camilla for a similar reason. Their competition was actually true to both characters. As for Soleil.....I still love her, but that girl needs sexual harassment training. I think Ophelia got what was coming to her though in the B support.

I'm not sure what difficulty you're on, but if you're playing on Normal, switch to Phoenix and it will carry over into the DLC.
