Wooster Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Labeling those as skills was rather pointless. Why not just call "Rescue" a skill or go back to calling the ability to double something when you have enough speed "Pursuit" while we're at it? Technically speaking, I suppose the reason would be that it's inherent in all characters to be able to double and rescue. The details of the individual combat itself determine if you can rescue or double. Weight and speed respectively. Canto could be tied to the mount flag, but what of shove? Bird Laguz for instance had both shove and canto, so an if/else wouldn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Given the skill set of "Lockpick" and "get gold on kill, sometimes", I'm guessing the unit they were showcasing was a thief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 If there are PC theives anymore. Gaia could be a Myrm/SM with lethality as a learned skill, though she does have the cape in her map sprite. Aside from calling Gaia a "she", I agree that this is likely the case. Since "Lockpick"/"Picklock" (whichever) and "Steal" are transferable, the character they start on is likely a Thief in spirit but not in a hard-set way since you would likely be able to hand those off to over people.

Celice Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Considering that Gaia has a male voice, it should be obvious as to his gender :P I doubt we have another Mideel running around. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16545195 This video points out a few things I don't think have been mentioned, namely, an emblem similar to the Fire Emblem from FE3 makes an appearance in an opening scroll.

VincentASM Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Kind of lazy to log into nicovideo Are you referring to this image? I guess the circles are in the same place as the Archanean FE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Yup, that's the image mentioned in the video above. (on an altogether different note, I wonder what part of the world this continent will resemble. We have South America, numerous Europes, and Ancient Greece so far.)

The Awesomest Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 The second unit on that list is that fighter guy. That's his hair there, see? Sooooo each unit has its own unique sprite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Banzai Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Fire Emblem Gaiden's Valencia resembles South America as a source of inspiration :) What, because it has a southern peninsula? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Lots of the continents IS comes up with base themselves off real continental arrangements. They don't usually follow exclusive geography found in those regions. But as the trend is recognizable, and has been, for the past entire series, it's not too far-fetched to see if Valencia also could be shaped after an existing continent. And, it kinda does. They're not carbon-copies, obviously :L Africa is actually a bit more similar, but I always forget the water channel Valencia has--so I never recognize the two masses of main-land, only seeing the one. Does the other Kingdom also separate itself across that channel? I never could remember. Edited December 30, 2011 by Celice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 You mean the Channel is the border? Yeah, it is, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Jar Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Valencia is commonly used in south america. Venezuela had a similar name at one point although Valencia is originally from spain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentASM Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Something I noticed, not sure if anybody pointed it out. Assuming the A and C symbols here indicate support levels, then supports seem to increase the rate of dual attacks. A dual attack with a possible A support has 67% chance for attacking and 13% chance of defending, seen here. In earlier screenshots/trailers, the attack/defence rate is around 33%/3%.

Shadow Stalker X Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) That's a good find. Even though we don't really know if any supports would've been involved in the earlier videos, I don't think it's too farfetched to assume that it's roughly +10%/+(3-4)% per support level.

Wooster Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Mmm... I'm not so sure. Remember "Dual Attack +"? Wasn't Chrome the one who had it equipped? That would throw a wrench into the formula, no? Excellent theory though. Though, now I'm curious how a "Dual Defend" would work. Unless it's like the Guard skill from Radiant Dawn (which only kicked in if the target started in critical HP, and was allegedly tied to support level in activation rate). In which case the partner takes damage instead. Sounds somewhat ricky for our squishy mages. Speaking of squishy mages... I wonder if the dedicated healers can Dual-Tink.

VincentASM Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Silly me, forgot about that skill. Although it's possible that Dual Attack+ has a different effect (or Krom doesn't have it equipped), like boosting the damage of dual attacks, I guess I'll have to wait for more info to figure out this puzzle.

Wooster Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I wasn't trying to say you were necessarily wrong per-say. Just that I had my reservations. The fact that Offensive and Defensive Team ups on the combat stats window strongly suggests that those numbers can and do change given different circumstances. A unit's support being a very obvious idea. I just wasn't willing to join those numbers, just yet at least. Another observation, that you're likely very aware of, is that with Chrome's jump in Dual %, it's not linear consistent with defense and offense, suggesting different formulas at play for each. What if, what if supports defined offensive team ups... but bonds determined defensive? It still doesn't answer what Dual Attack + does, or answer if Chrome had it equipped for that battle. Dumb likely wrong idea: What if Dual Attack + increased the range that Chrome could either join or receive aid? Might explain the ambiguity in the skill's title.
