Dayni Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Make one typo with a package and it ends up getting sent to three different sorting centres.

This is also the map where the boss can literally be killed by his ally's rock trap, so stupid was in its blood to begin with. He is also a big Japanese Meme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as i liked it back then, it was also my 3rd FE. I had the exact same experience with SS. It was my third FE, and back then it seemed decently challenging and fun. Nowadays? I cannot come back to vanilla, it's too brainless. I feel like these easier FEs hinge greatly on how early you play them. When you aren't as good at these games, don't know their ins and outs as well, the lack of difficulty makes them, if anything, more accessible and palatable.

Saint Rubenio Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I'm now seeing something different: people are interpreting reclassing as, you have your base weapon ranks from your class, and when engaging you can build up others by using the emblem weapons. ...but that leaves... So many swords, so little everything else. No knives or fists at all, even! Ah well, we'll have to see how this works in actuality. I'll be happy just to downgrade Vandad haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I did go for the worst units I could for gen 2. Still, that's the thing, there's no such thing as a sub run in PoR to spice things up. Even units like Sothe eventually become unbeatable, as Sooks's run proved, because the enemies are just that terrible. 1 minute ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Also it seems like weapon Ranks work more like FE4?

Although I find that basically all of the "tough" maps in SS have a clear strategy which rather trivializes them, so I end up seeing it a lot more as a tossup whether FE9 or FE8 are the easiest.

That, and level being reset makes me afraid it's going to be a repeat of Awakening's broken system. But again, we'll see. Inb4 outfit customization really doesn't affect combat and I start reclassing folks for the fashion 4 minutes ago, Eltosian Kadath said: Although I find that basically all of the "tough" maps in SS have a clear strategy which rather trivializes them, so I end up seeing it a lot more as a tossup whether FE9 or FE8 are the easiest. They aren't too far apart, no, but PoR doesn't even have that. PoR is trivialized by playing it.

Dayni Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Hey look, VincentASM translated the awards screen: I'm curious about the system awards. I think the allies one is about unlocking supports. It saying total achieved also means that this Alear has done a bunch of supports..... Or there's multiple levels to each, which I doubt. We can also assume Céline and her retainers are among the first recruits we get? Also, I am not talking reclassing before the game comes out, sorry but reading the talk here has not cleared things up. 1 hour ago, Saint Rubenio said: Ah, yeah.

Those are the cheevos? OOOHHHH Perhaps my best hopes are true. Perhaps that 40 really means what I want it to mean. ...still, best be prudent. There could be some generic "view a support with everyone" or "recruit everyone" or "get an A support" cheevos in there. 37 minutes ago, Punished Dayni said: I'm curious about the system awards.

Everything indicates Alfred and his retainers are the first, with Celine likely coming not too long after when we go into Firene. 37 minutes ago, Punished Dayni said: Also, I am not talking reclassing before the game comes out, sorry but reading the talk here has not cleared things up.

It just means it's likely you won't enjoy them as much if you happen to get around to them later, as I did with PoR, whereas someone who played them early will have far fonder memories of them, as I do with SS.

Quote For the easiest Fire Emblem I've played thus far, this game sure loves giving me a shitload of units to expend. And you've seen nothing yet until you reach RD. Quote Wtf do you mean "Route map" I thought Soren explicitly stated that the strategy should be to rush up there as fast as possible and kill the commander but instead you give me a clear condition that forces me to take my time. Ah, the Rolling Stones, home of General Neo Bolt-Axe. Has subtitles. One of Japan's memes, he's one of the few minor bosses that got a Cipher card. Quote Ohoho I see. When you assume the absolute rule of a land based purely on physical power it's cultural and traditional meritocracy, but when a demon god decides to assume the rule of a land based purely on physical power he's evil and a tyrant. Is it truly meritocracy when the requirement is simply physical prowess and not actual ruling prowess? I would think in this case it's your typical "destroy the land through force, not rule it through force". Though it's telling it's spoken because the war is involving more and more of the continent's players.

BrightBow Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) Meanwhile 2 of Berwick Saga's 3 electric axes are actually really good. Yes there are indeed 3 different types of electric axes. Why wouldn't there be? If only magical bonus damage was doubled by Pulverize.
