Ghostlander Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Like the final paralogue characters, and Flavia (who I love). You get like, 1 or two chapters to use them...what the hell is that? Does it serve some special purpose? I wish with all my might I could use Flavia far earlier in the game. She's my favorite female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 At least you can use her freely in the postgame! Fans of Lehran and Gotoh, among others, are really jealous of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No post game. What IS the post game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Aren't there DLC maps/extra paralogues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostlander Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Aren't there DLC maps/extra paralogues? The dlc maps I have are definitely not post game. I have enough money to grab maybe 1 more but. Yeah. And you meet the spotpass stuff? I guess, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vascela Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 They serve to help you in the final chapter or extra DLC. Availability is just as potent as high bases/growths/etc, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Save up so you can buy the others I suppose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapier Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 It's a series tradition to give you strong units very close to the endgame, so you can fill vacant slots if you let some of your units die and need some competent backup, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The point is these characters joining your team. The story doesn't care how long you get to use them. But Awakening has plenty of post-game content anyway with its DLC and just the way Paralogues work in general (you can literally save up to 25 maps as free post-game content).

Czar_Yoshi Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The postgame consists of any of 23 Paralogues you haven't beaten yet, 25 DLC maps (in particular the Scramble Pack, Challenge Pack, Future Past and Apo, but also all four Spirit Talisman packs if you don't have them yet... Pretty much everything except the Golden Pack, although you'll likely do that a lot too...), 120 Spotpass teams to fight at your leisure, potentially infinite Streetpass teams and Risen to fight, daily Barracks events, a whole lot of A supports and the collection and minmaxing of all your units. Even without the DLC, it's really massive. Anyway, the reason you get a bunch of characters who are all supposed to be dead is because the GBA FEs started a thing where you could recruit major NPCs and villains for use in a few postgame "trial maps", where they were unlocked by beating the game enough times (of in Sacred Stones' case, beating a certain map enough times). There was no fanfare, no story to go along with them, and they were just there because some of them had insanely cool battle animations that the devs wanted to let you have for yourself. Since Awakening is really into bringing back mechanics from past FEs, it decided to also let you recruit a ton of dead guys after you finished the game. The only reason you don't have to wait until after Grima is that your file doesn't save that chapter's completion... If it did, you'd probably be able to recruit Grima too). Unlike past FEs though, they tried to justify it in the story. Personal opinions on the quality of the justifications notwithstanding, they probably did it because they wanted you to be able to marry them. And there's also Priam, who's completely irrelevant and just Tellius fanservice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ownagepuffs Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I really wish either of them joined earlier. Flavia could be Echidna redux and Basilio could've been a Dagda throwback. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Personally, I find that unlocking all of the characters (not counting the Einherjar) to be a real accomplishment for those that wants more than just having them, but thats just me.
