What am I in for?
I just finished 7 and 8.
Good game.
Do lots of shoving.
Ike is best lord.
>>322643482
Laguz are shit, don't waste exp on them.
A good game.
Best units are Ike, Oscar and Zihark, in that unit. Not saying they're my favorites, but I've beaten this shit 5 times (I was autistic enough to want Ashnard for Skirmish maps, never did make it to 15 times) and these 3 made the game easy-mode every time. Shame the generals are pretty meh in PoR though, they're definitely not Killiam or Oswinning.
Worst fire emblem game.
>>322644826
*order, fuck
>>322644990
ayy lmao
>>322644990
Nah, but I'd argue the sequel is.
>Sothe is a fucker
>Micaiah is unimpressive
>awkward pacing with you switching to an entirely new set of units
Only redeeming feature was Ike killing a goddess, motherfucker gets shit done.
>>322644826
Oscar didn't ever turn out special for me.
Nephenee and Soren will turn out great if you take care of them too.
>>322644826
>Oscar
Come on man, it's 2016.
>>322643482
The best Fire Emblem game there is. I wish I could replay it for the first time.
>>322645506
Oh gods, forgot about Soren. He died on me a couple times but otherwise he fucking disco'd through the last half of the game getting Adept twice a turn.
>>322645327
>enemy phase starts
>leave to grab some food and take a piss
>come back and it's not even done yet
Radiant Dawn would've been so much more palatable if they had a skip enemy phase button like awakening.
>>322643482
subhuman scum
best support system in any of the fire emblems
okay plot that is obviously meant to flow into a sequelthe sequels plot is absolutely batshit insane, but it has the best gameplay of a fire emblem
has some of the best prepromotes in any of the fire emblems, and are often much more fun than to use than the growth characters, Stefan is best swordmaster
>>322645665
Don't get me wrong, I love Kieran, I used them both like I do every Kain and Abel, hell I even A-ranked their supports, but fucking Oscar was unkillable in my games.
>>322643482
A great game. PoR is one of my favorite FE's. Great Characters and gameplay all round. Might want to go on Hard if you can as it is a little easy.
>>322643482
Dont kill enemies with Titania early on.
Even though she is best waifuAfter Nephenee
>>322645327
RD is great but everyone agrees that the story is awkward to say the least. Music and general gameplay is fantastic though.
>>322647645
Titania is pretty usable compared to some other pre-promotes. I was able to keep her in my party until end game. She is no Seth though.
>>322645506
The main reason to use Oscar is to double Earth support with Ike. That duo is fucking untouchable.
>>322647645
You have good taste in Waifus. But what do you think of Jill and Ilyana?
>>322644990
Kill Yourself
>>322644826
Gatrie is a pretty usable Knight. I made good use of him anyway.
>>322648410
He's not available for a lot of the game though. I actually can't remember which knight replaced him. Nephenee kinda does the same thing but she's a soldier.
>>322643482
One of the best fire emblems alongside FE4.
>>322648681
Gatrie sort of gets replaced by Tauroneo.
I love Nephenee but she has always turned out sub-par for me in PoR. She is always amazing in RD though.
>>322648681
>not remembering glorious Brom
gtfo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oopXymmft-4
>>322647942
She's a good unit but she'll still take EXP from units that need it more in the early game. I usually take her weapons and use her to bait over enemies.
>>322648806
This guy gets it.
Also, expect Ike being Ike.
>>322644826
Boyd has always been one of my best units. He is definitely worth using.
I know that there are better mages in PoR but I like using Ilyana. I usually have to babby her a bit but she usually turns out bretty good.
>>322644826
top lel Ike and Oscar were some of my worst units, Zihark was okay but Stefan outclassed him in every way.
>>322648932
I played this game as a kid and chose units based on how cool they look
>Gatrie looked like an olympic weightlifter wearing an iron man suit
>Brom looked clumsy and his armor looks lame
A top tier sister who you should totally put effort into building up.
>>322643482
Best Fire Emblem ever, a good combination between console fe and gba fe.
>>322643482
play the fire emblem 6 fanlation first
>>322643482
The best fire emblem game with the best lord
Be sure to transfer your save files over to radiant dawn, the second best fire emblem game, after you finish it
>tfw own original copies of fire emblem 7-10
I'll never give these up
>>322652448
>the second best
>not pic related
>>322652667

>>322652820
Not that guy but chapter 7 is just so goddamn slow
Still love it
>muh first experience the thread
You faggots are just as bad as Tales of fans.
>>322653024
These are all used prices on amazing
9 is worth 90+
10 is worth 65+
7 is worth 45+
8 is worth 40+
>>322653024
Tons of good memories anon.
>>322653140
PoR wasn't even my first FE and yet its my favorite
>>322652820
I do like genealogy but I think, even tho Rd has a below average story it has the best gameplay of any fe game. The level design + 3 classes and character designs make it my second favorite. I wish they didn't fuck up supports. Genealogy is probably my 3rd favorite, then 7, 8, and awakening. Really tho, I love all the games a lot. Fe is my favorite game series
Path of Radiance has a great story and good gameplay, but it fairly easy, since American/European Hard is the Japanese Normal and we never got the lunatic difficulty mode.
Be sure to play on Hard, because you'll miss out on the true final boss if you play on normal.
Path of Radiance is overall literally the best Fire Emblem game.
You cannot prove me wrong.
>>322653976
Jap Hard is American Hard for PoR. Its just that we don't have Maniac and instead have Easy Mode which Japan did not have.
Back in Winter 2005 I only had enough money to buy 1 game, either Battalion Wars or this.
I bought this one, best choice I've ever made.
>>322653976
>>322654336
Luckily you can just download a Japanese ISO and use an English patch to get Maniac
>>322654734
Battalion Wars is still pretty good.
>>322645327
>Nah, but I'd argue the sequel is.
I'm sorry, but FE10, however mediocre its storyline is and how gimped the support system is, will always be revered for those godly maps, most notably 3-13.
>>322648545
>>322648681
>>322652767
Now, these are the only answers you need to play FE10. You can never have too much Nephenee and Mia in your Fire Emblem.
>>322643482
A game better than 8, and on par with 7.
PoR+RD (FE10) is a god tier combo that you won't get with 7, though. The only problem is the presence of subhumans.
>>322654734
Battalion Wars is fun too.
But not as expensive now.
>>322654993
whoops, wrong image
still fits, I guess
the only thing to note about FE9 is that the difficulty system was messed up for the English release, so the game's normal mode is very easy for a Fire Emblem veteran. this is in contrast to FE10's normal mode, which is actually pretty brutal
>>322648128
Jill and Nephenee wrecked everything in my playthrough.
I don't remember Ilyana, but I haven't played through Radiant Dawn yet.
>>322645665
come on, it's $HKEY_CURRENT_YEAR, do the verb to the noun
>>322654912
>3-13
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXjnRyeu3gs
>>322655201
Ilyana isn't the greatest unit but I manage to make her work.
Are you playing through RD anytime soon? If you do you might want to use Haar. He is unstoppable.
>>322653976
>>322654336
>>322654773
>>322655180
People think Fire Emblem's got it rough with localization because of lewd dialogue and risk of losing your face touching. They aint gotta fear shit compared to what these games got put through.
>>322643482
Why is this the only game in existence that got "muh racism" right?
>>322655669
I'm planning to start RD soon, what do I get by porting the save from PoR?
>>322655986
Because it shows all sides having their ugly faces and personalities. It's not like Beorc are portrayed as well meaning but sick in the head with Laguz being muh precious dindu nuthins that didn't deserve this war I wish I wasn't Beorc ;_;
>>322656135
Some extra pieces of dialogue and stat improvements to some of your characters. Worth doing.
>>322656135
Minor support boosts based off of A ranks from PoR, stat boosts to anyone who got to max level and maxed a stat, weapon rank boosts, coins, and other minor stuff.
>>322656135
Characters who capped any stats will have a +2 to their base in that stat from the start and a fraction of weapon EXP also carries over. Also there's a new thing called Bonds which are passive supports family members and other close characters have. A rank supports in PoR will become a Bond in RD.
>>322655986
>Soren, Sothe, and Jill slowly soften up (with dedicated cutscenes) and stop calling people subhumans
>meanwhile, Valkyria Chronicles just does a 180 on Rosie's personality as soon as they see Darcsen refugees crowded and hungry
The Tellius saga is much better than Valkyria Chronicles in that regard, but it still isn't great. It's almost always a token "race" (if you can call laguz a race) and the relationship is always one way. There's minor discord among the dragons and crows with the other types of laguz, but they all are distrusted by humans.
What I'd like to see in a game is a less polar system similar to our own world. Whites hate blacks, latinos hate whites, blacks hate whites, asians hate blacks, etc. Maybe add in a religious dimension where Christians hate Jews, Muslims hate Jews, Jews exploit Christians, and so forth atop that structure, and don't make it 1:1 aligned with races (ex. the Catholic Church being very involved in Christianizing Latin America to the point that there's now a Latin American pope) and you can do some powder keg shit with it.
>>322656480
Any A Rank between any two characters?
>>322656397
>>322656421
>>322656480
Won't that make the game a lot easier?
>>322656669
Radiant Dawn is a lot harder than Path of Radiance.
Put Provoke on Brom
win game
>>322643482
You're in for a the last good fire emblem game before it was killed stone fucking dead by radiant dawn. Then it had to be brought back by Awakening and IF.
Enjoy it for what it is.
>>322656669
Not really, RD isn't the easiest game in the series. It just increases there base stats a little and that is only for characters you fully leveled up.
>>322656579
I like how Soren is all quiet and mad during the Begnion chapters and you don't even find out why unless you A support him with Ike, which is the only way to go of course
>>322656858
The only thing RD did wrong was have too many reinforcements and too large of battlefields
Laguz shit started with PoR and Kaga was gone from Fire Emblem after 5. It was a slow and steady degeneration after his departure, moving away from the geopolitics that dominated the first 5 games. Both PoR and RD tried to salvage that but injected furshit into the mix, so it's a mixed blessing.
>>322656858
fe12 is good f a m
>>322643482
Put a knight seal on gatrie as soon as you get nephenee, watch him become the tankiest and fastest fucker.
From an era when Fire Emblem was still good, and one of the best in the series. Go for it.
>>322643926
>laguz
Nice attempt at fitting in, you filthy sub-human lover
>>322656752
You mean
Put Provoke on Brom
Get anal raped by long range magics late game
>>322650024
The only way to play any fire emblem game is to choose units based on attractiveness. Fill out your remaining slots based on stats only if you're all out of good-looking characters.
>>322657758
It's worked out for me so far. Unless they are absolutely dogshit but that rarely happens.
>>322644826
>Zihark
>good
>using myrmidons in PoR
Haha, no
>>322657681
This.
Brom's Res is so bad.
But of course PoR is so fucking easy unless you're on Jap only maniac
>>322658037
>NotSephiroth
>Mia
>Stefan
They might not have been statistically superior to other Myrmidons throughout the series but PoR had some of the coolest weeb swordsmen in the series. Plus based Astra looks fucking awesome
>>322658778
Astra was a bit shit, and not worth removing vantage or adept for, also ruins gambles in RD.
>>322658778
Too bad astra blows in PoR even if it looked great, least RD ungimped it, making it actually somewhat useful instead of a waste of a skill points.
>>322659119
RD slowed it down by so much it's kinda boring to watch, also as it still uses your hit rate, and has a zero chance of critting it means gamble is a shit skill for your trueblades, who often need to rely on those crit.s
>>322659119
Pretty much every Occult skill was useless outside of Aether and Lethality
>>322659003
>>322659119
I will admit, Astra sucks dick in PoR. Why did they waste such a good animation on a shitty skill?
>>322643482
Shove chains, useful canto, mission variety, good units out the wazoo and the burger king
>>322659776
>mfw Astra procs twice on a Brave Sword
>>322660015
>Sup guys, whats going on in this chapter?
>>322659776
My guess is they nerfed it cause it was OP as fuck in 4/5, then they spent 3 games without those skills, came back, and then tried to "rebalance" them.
>FE4 level wrath+Astra never again
>>322660053
rip durability
>>322659738
deadeye was good
>>322660336
Deadeye was pretty trash unless im remembering wrong because it was on a class that generally had 100 hit on everything anyway
>>322660336
>15% chance at the very best to put an enemy to sleep
>>322660327
I'm okay with the rebalancing. I mean I love 4 and 5 and their ridiculous OP skills, but I'm also okay with the nerfs the skills got.
I kinda like the way Awakening handled skill proccing and damage, the problem with it was the every character had bloated stats and every character could get most skills so the nerfs didn't matter when you literally couldn't /not/ proc a skill by late game.
>>322660310
>>322660567
>>322660494
It did poc on a dragon once, and it's not like you really have anybody else to use it on, save for Kieran and Marcia if they can use it
BEST
>>322660602
Aye, fates skill's seem pretty balanced now for example. With the exception of galeforce awakenings skills were fairly fine too, the proc ones atleast, just as you said, everyone having 40 in a stat minimum, it goes a bit crazy. I hope theyll bring back proper status staves next game, i miss those things.
>>322660831
>a cat is fine too the character
get that sub-human loving scum out of here
>>322660989
Yeah same.
For a game where they wanted to shove as much as possible into, it sure is weird how many little things they arbitrarily removed.
My guess is that status staves were removed because of the utter lack of real terrain and overall small size of most maps.
>>322660310
>>322661218
Probably, plus laziness in balancing them, as if they were put in theyd probably have #/MAG, and due to how bloated stats are you can already use psychic on a majority of the field in most of awakenings maps.
>>322643482
one of the best FE games. Good writing and story, a lot of cool characters, even if it's hard to really feel attached to any of them with the limited-as-fuck support system.
Gameplay is the same FE stuff as always, it's babby-mode easy if you're a minmaxing faggot, but fun times if you aren't. attack animations suck dicks, but the character designs are good.
>>322662035
>even if it's hard to really feel attached to any of them with the limited-as-fuck support system.
How is it limited? It's much improved since you don't have to have two characters sitting beside each other constantly anymore
>>322662035
IMO the best part about 9's gameplay is the variety. Both 9 and 10 had some great maps, along with BEXP being given for doing extra, unnecessary objectives. It's a shame more games in the series haven't rewarded such exploration of possible completion states.
>>322662283
only 5 convos per character is lame. You get to see one complete relationship, and then get dick-teased 2/3rds of the way through another one.
>>322662632
No, it's an important balance.
Awakening proved how disastrous unlimiting support convos can be for making the game easy as fuck
>>322662632
>You get to see one complete relationship, and then get dick-teased 2/3rds of the way through another one.
That's exactly the same as the previous 3 games though, how the fuck is it limited?
>>322662632
Fucking THIS, the one thing I appreciated about Awakening, unlimited supports. I can finally have the big happy animu swordsman clubhouse I've always wanted in an FE game.
>>322662748
I'd say that's just a problem of making each individual support boost too strong. I want to see all the supports in one playthrough. Hell, maybe just make the first 5 supports count towards bonuses, and the rest extra? that would work.
>>322662632
Except thats by far the better way to do as compared to matchmaking.jpg that older games used and the unlimited supports awakening/fates uses. PoR's style allowed supports to flow as the story progressed, which is they always should have been.
>>322663218
That sounds stupid. You'd be removing lots of the replay value, and the fact that only 5 would count but then the rest wouldn't is just silly.
>>322645327
Ike had a perfect ending. Leaving Tellius to fuck knows where doing what he wants after saving it. Becoming a legend that other worlds know of.
Best lord.
>>322650024
I used both her and soren. Soren is definitely the better mage, but she's a good backup.
>>322663218
That's fine from a gameplay standpoint
but then you still have awakenings problem of like 80% of the support convos being generic because so many people can support with so many other people.
It makes no sense for one guy to A rank a girl, them get married at the epilogue, then him A rank another girl and have them be "just really really close friends"
Basically knowing how shitty ISIS is about everything, I wouldn't trust them with writing out several different scenarios depending on who pairs with who. The way it was in 9 was great, characters grew along with the story.
>>322663534
Ike=Big Boss=Ramza
>>322663267
the only thing that's wrong is the arbitrary limit.
>>322663207
this guy gets it.
>>322663529
>replay value
that's bullshit and you know it.
>>322663670
it makes more sense than just getting 2/3rds of a way through some nigga telling you his life story and then just never following up. quantity is better in this case, because it will include the quality as well.
>>322663883
>quantity is better in this case, because it will include the quality as well.
You're delusional
A solid 4/5s of Awakenings supports were shit and you think because there's a lot it's quality?
I'd argue the worst part of Awakening, the part that makes it stupid-easy; Pair Ups and 2 characters being able to back each other up in any given combat.
>>322663883
Except >>322663670
gets why quantity means shit, i had forgotten how bland most of awakenings supports were, specially between marriage candidates bar a few. A majority of awakenings supports were nothing but "how was your day, oh btw lets fuck" tier shit. So no, atleast in IS' writings case, quantity is not better.
6/7/8/9 all had a nice chunk of supports that gave tons of backstory and developed what is otherwise a fairly bland cast of characters. Awakening just played on archetypes 90% of the time
>>322663267
PoR's supports would still allow the story to progress as you had to complete x amounts of chapters to build up that support
>>322664301
8 was a mixed bag, it was mostly really good, and even explained why Valter was insane in Cormag's supports with Duessel, but then there's the B support between Natasha and Franz
>>322646047
this shit was the worst. Made me quit mid-game. That and the mind-blowingly stupid story.
>>322653976
This is about right. FE9 has the best world building in the series by a longshot. It is rather easy though.
>>322664770
>having animations on in the 3D games
Legitimately why
Hows FE Awakening? Looks really good.
>>322647678
I didn't think RD's story was too bad. There were definitely areas to improve on, but at least the characters and world took themselves seriously. Endgame had more going on than Awakening's entire story.
>>322660310
>mfw he immediately starts moving
>OH GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>322664962
It's not
It isn't bad
But nowhere approaching really good.
A solid 5 or 6/10
>inb4 someone calls me a nostalgiafag or a grampa
>>322664962
if you just want a laid back, piss easy FE game, its fine, dont look for any real depth or challenge. Though if you just want waifu's then that's the game for you by a longshot.
>>322664962
As a game: good
As a waifu game: great
As a Fire Emblem: shit/mediocre
The end answer is what you need out of it.
>>322664908
>implying they were on
>>322665063
I agree, I actually am able to enjoy RD story but there are definitely issues but probably has the best Endgame in the series.
Awakening pretty much shits itself in the story department as soon as they beat Gangrel. Not that it was that great to begin with.
>>322664962
A solid 6/10.
>>322664962
It's okay. Enjoyable as a shipping simulator but mediocre as a Fire Emblem game.
>>322665063
>>322666116
I never even got what's so bad about the blood pacts, was it ever explained why it wouldn't work if Kilvas annexed itself into becoming a Phoenicis territory?
>>322664715
I can see where you're coming from, still i cant agree with awakenign style supports, unless they get a better writing team or tone the "everyone can support everyone else" shit down. As that's a large part of why awakening's supports were garbage, that and making everyone able to fuck each other.
Removing limitations on it just means everyones best buddies with each other, which is just strange. Specially as above anon said and you have 1 S married girl and then a buncha A girls on the side. Best middle ground is to have each support convo be its own bit of story. But even that aint perfect
>>322665063
The biggest crime to RD is how they fucking butchered supports, especially bad considering you can sort of carry your support rank from PoR over, but it largely amounts to nothing besides ike/soren pairing.
>>322664962
How much you'll like it will probably depend on how you liked previous entries in the series.
Its bland, open maps and [lack of] map objective variety are objectively worse than older entries'. The gameplay is easier than ever with the broken pair-up system, tons of support bonuses, and other changes.
The story is simple and predictable but serviceable. The characters are many and often likeable, but particularly animu-esque and one dimensional. The focus on being able to marry all units and the removal of non-romantic supports (sans the generic ones between siblings and parents/2nd Gen children) was a disappointment for me.
Despite its problems, and preferring the old games massively, I still sunk a ton of time into it to complete the support list. Go ahead and play if you think it looks good.
>>322666379
I think it would have worked better with 8's supports, where they all seem to happen anyway, Amelia's supports with Duessel say she has found a rival (Franz, though he isn't mentioned by name,) to train with. Forde's ending has people finding his paintings etc.
>>322666801
They were meant to have a fully fleshed out A one between certain characters, the full list is somewhere on SF and was fucking huge
Hows RD story?
>>322667608
Is this what you're talking about?http://serenesforest.net/radiant-dawn/characters/supports/unused/
>>322667709
Better than PoR, but longwinded.
Overall in terms of Fire Emblem, though, the story is a bit mediocre because it relies on Deus Ex Machina Laguz.
Ike fulfills his revenge against the man who slew his father, as well as the man who puppeted the slayer. I think that's the best moment in RD.
>>322667709
Not very good
>>322667709
total shit
>>322667608
Aye i know they were, moreso why its a huge crime, everytime i remember that list it disappoints me how much we could have had as far as character building went.
As for endings, thad be fine if paired endings didnt overwrite all of those lil bits.
>>322663534
Not to mention having grade A descendants.
>>322668106
>Paired endings
What paired endingss? There was Ike with Soren/Ranulf, Elincia with Geoffrey, Micaiah with Sothe, and Astrid with Makalov.
That was it for the 80+ cast
>>322668762
>Has a hobo as a descendant
I was actually disappointed.
>>322668790
I meant in regards to 8's supports anon, sorry. Paired endings mostly overwrote any of the single or non-romantic endings in 8, this is the saem for most of the FE's i beleive
Gentlemen, how to we save Fire Emblem?
>>322668762
>Can't even Aether
Being fight-sexual is a plus though.
>>322667996
He could've had it all. Now's he's labelled as a faggot.Ike x Micaiah

>>322669013
>Hobo
You serious?
Priam is a total bro. Everyone in his army loves him and when he joins your party, leaving behind saddened comrades, he promises EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM a farewell spar.
Dude's sweet as hell.
>>322669265
Still a hobo, with a bunch of other hobos.
meh.
>>322668762
I bet he's actually descended from Mist.
>>322669173
It's not like those were guaranteed to be romantic supports
>>322669173
>Can't even Aether
>Starts with Sol and Luna when he joins your party
It's about the same.
>>322669405
Just from how he acts when you put him up against Ike in the xenologues makes me think otherwise.
What data gets carried over to Radiant Dawn?
Missed a few recruits on my first playthrough, and wondering if I need to play it again to get the most out of RD.
>>322669161
We don't. The best possible scenario is if a Japanese indie or Western indie (excluding Germany or Russia) who was imbued with Real Fire Emblem™ during their youth spends time to develop a good tactical RPG.
The reason why I exclude Germany and Russia is because their history with tactics games involves garbage shit like King's Bounty, Blackguards, and a host of other tactical games that are boring flat hex grids. Fuck both of those countries, seriously.
>>322668023
>Better than PoR
No
Some developments are good, part 2 and Elincia quelling rebellion was cool, but everything revolving around Micaiah (read: the rest of the game) was awful.
>>322669697
I'd say so.
Whoever you A-ranked Ike with in Path of Radiance will get a few extra lines of dialogue with him in Radiant Dawn at some moments.
>>322669173
>Ike x Lethe
I'm still not over it.
>>322669173
>Ike x Nailah
>Not Tibarn x Nailah
It's like you didn't even read their battle quotes against each other in RD
>>322669157
>The only way to save Dart is to take Farina away from Hector
>>322669161
Get IS some competent writers and the major problem with FE solves itself, theyre already showing they can still make a good game gameplay wise. But their writing team is just subpar recently, even for FE standards.
>>322669969Me neither anon, ikexmia coulda been grand too, alas
>>322669759
Micaiah was indeed awful, as was everything with the Brand, but the conclusion of Ike was more than worth it. Ike's wrap-up happens at a time when, mechanically, you have to whittle down your squad to only like 9 people you send into the tower, which makes it double-powerful at a time it really needs to be.
Contrast this with the final fight in Awakening and you can see that even RD comes above that. No matter how derisive you are toward RD, at least it's not Awakening
>>322669528
Still better than male-only endings. It had variety. Now people think he's fucking some cat man and a filthy half-breed.
>>322670048
>It's like you didn't even read their battle quotes against each other in RD
Was referring to the the endings in the link quoted.
>>322669598
You can get sol and luna on a bunch of other units.
What, does that mean they got Aether too? it's not the same
>>322670110Ike x Mia would have worked great for Priam as he's obsessed with fighting and being strong.
>>322669697
>wondering if I need to play it again to get the most out of RD.
Nah, you don't

>>322670048
>It's like you didn't even read their battle quotes against each other in RD
That was hot as hell.
>>322669697
Playing it again isn't bad, but you won't miss anything really.
There's a support library where you can re-read PoR's supports that you've seen.
A small support increase between characters with A-supports in PoR
Coins for the blacksmith
Stat increases for units at level -/20
>>322670154
Oh yeah I'll agree with that 100%. Awakening left open glaring plot holes like the whole zombie apocalypse thing being all but ignored about 4 chapters in.
But when you compare RD to PoR, PoR just has a much stronger tighter narrative and characters IMHO.
>>322670409
Marth's descendants sure have it nice.
>>322670409
It's not like Aether in awakening was anything special. In Path of Radiance, Ike does some sick spins and a backflip.
In Awakening, they just swing their sword twice for the Sol and Luna succession.
So, yes. I'd say in the same vein it is Aether to use Sol and Luna.
>>322670702
Great that Fates brought back the Aether animation for Ike. Seems like only he does the spin thing(Minus backflip uppercut) while Lucina just does slashes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHwkUMfGcZY
>>322670593
PoR was tighter but the conclusion was off, simply because the game was destined to be a cliffhanger (being part of a saga)
but I think that the emotional payoff of the conclusion of RD is enough to sidestep the mediocre Micaiah chapters. And that's something that couldn't've been done in PoR because PoR necessarily had to lead to RD by design.
>>322670702
Aether is exclusive to lords and descendants. Same as rightful king.
In the meta, Priam not having aether is understandable. But lorewise it's a dumb as shit decision and just adds to the confusion.
>>322671028
I agree. But the fact he starts off with Sol and Luna makes me think that for all intents and purposes he DOES have Aether, but maybe he's just shit at it or doesn't know it as Aether.
>>322669161
You don't need to "save" FE because Fates (or at least Nohr route) shows that IS still knows how to make good games. The only problem is that they have a bad sense of priorities that needs fixing and for just once, stop rehashing Marth and his family and just move on for once.
>>322671518
>RD remake or even a return to Tellius in any sense never
All because they cant let go of some prince most people probably just associate with fucking smash
Save or spend bonus exp?
I've heard I need a lot for Mist.
>>322671842
>RD remake or even a return to Tellius in any sense never
Please no self-insert.
>>322670948
That spin jump is just part of his normal moveset, not tied to Aether or anything, so it's hardly any better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QhPGRrxVzk&feature=youtu.be&t=180
>>322671518
>stop rehashing Marth and his family
Do you even know what a saga is?
That's the whole fucking point of FE, and it really proves you don't know what's going on at the root of the game.

>use mah nigga Volke throughout the entirety of PoR, never getting hit and killing niggas left and right with Lethality n shit
>recruit him very late in RD
>oh well, at least I can use him for a few chapters
>you are only allowed to take a few people with you in the tower
>fuccboi Sothe is already fucking forced to come along
Fuck that shit.
I took him along anyway.
>>322672038
I wouldnt necessarily mind a self insert if it was on the level of 12's. People know him, people like him, but hes not plot relevant at all. But who am i kidding, were stuck as 13/fates mc from now on
>>322671016
I disagree, Micaiah and plot elements like the blood pact dragged the plot down to an extent the ending couldn't make up for. Furthermore, cramming in every single character from PoR sans the optional Largo in addition to new characters that don't get near enough screen-time both ruined the support system and weakened the story as a whole.
You're just not ever given enough time to fully appreciate the Dawn Brigade until you're whisked off to Crimea and Elincia's part, and then when they eventually return they're swept under the bigger plot elements unfolding like the nauseating blood pact and ensuing war and only Micaiah and to a lesser extent Sothe have any more relevancy.
>>322672042
>That spin jump is just part of his normal moveset, not tied to Aether or anything, so it's hardly any better.
Was this just added in for Fates? I don't remember him spins in PoR/RD other than Aether.
>Lucina's Aether
Good thing they didn't make it the same as Ike.
Since he's the original user and all.
>>322672398
>You're just not ever given enough time to fully appreciate the Dawn Brigade until you're whisked off to Crimea and Elincia's part,
Fair enough m8
>>322672348
I'm allergic to the idea. But that's just me.

I don't know, that one massive write up on it has me thinking that it's an Anri situation.

It's going to be great, Anon.
>>322672456
>Was this just added in for Fates?
Yes, that's my point.
His nonlethal critical hit is a spin jump though, but you're not going to see it pretty much anywhere but this scripted fight.

If there's one thing that has to leave Fire Emblem. If I could choose ONE thing to disappear forever.
It wouldn't be the waifu-faggotry
It wouldn't be the horrible map-design of the past few games.
It would be the fucking MyUnit. Fuck MyUnit and fuck self-inserts, it needs to die a slow and painful death and be cut from Fire Emblem forever.
>>322672659
You maybe allergic to it but most of the consumer base loves this shit for some reason
>>322672742
We had Chrom for that, id much prefer just being bro's looking for a god to beat down.
>>322672932
I know the last time it was talked about a good chunk of people agreed with this sentiment on the MU. They're just not implemented good.
>>322673089
Chrom was oddly and snugly on Robin's dick. It was kind of weird, like he never had a best friend or just a good friend before.
>>322672932
That's just current games in general anon, im sorry. Not even defending fates but atleast that ones being honest about us being the main character rather than awakening starting us off in the partner role, then plot moving us into literal most important person in the plot.
Again, if this is how it has to be, just make it liek 12's at most, personally would like to just be the faceless tactician in 7 who was occasionally brought up. But noone wants the back row like that, gotta be center stage.
>>322672923
Damn, I totally forgot about that. I'm just glad to see the animation again. Better than that half-assed one that Chrom/Lucina pulls.
>>322673272
Chrom was that way cause i think they were too lazy to make M/F main story dialogue, so he was "gender neutral" for most of it, making this awkward middle ground between friend and more than friend/lover.
>>322673778
Definitely some of his lines to Robin had me thinking they were fucking no matter their actual support status or Robin's gender. Why do I feel at some point he calls Robin his soul mate?
>>322672028
Bring her to 99 exp then naturally level.
>>322673778
Even then you'd think he'd have a friend before all that. There had to be a noble or two he was close friends with. Him becoming BFFs with Robin so quick was weird.
>>322672280
Join the club mah nigga.
>>322672932
fuckin this
>>322674068
Does this change the stats somehow?
I never use her, up to c24 and only use Reyson/Rhys if I need a healer.
>>322673954
You're likely not wrong, hell he call you family within 3 chapters.
>>322674113
He did, he had plenty of friends far as i could tell, even if he was "different" from a normal noble. Still, you are the MC, thus you are instantly the closest and most important person in his life.
>>322674318
She's story required for 1 period and she is honestly one of the better units if you take the time to raise her. What that anon means is bring her to 99 exp then save scum the level up, i think.
>>322644826
The best unit is Titania, and by extension all the knights by a country mile.
Generals only suck because they don't have Canto. You pretty much never need sword since Ike has Ragnell and Elincia comes with Amirita.
>>322674318
I forgot that the system was different in both games when I responded. In PoR bonus exp is fine to level with, but in RD when you lvl with bonus exp they get only three stat points. I think it is better to take the chance and get more than three points.
>>322674318
It does in Radiant Dawn at least. Level ups by Bonus EXP always give strictly 3 stats, no more, no less, unless you capped a bunch already. Raising it to 99 and then leveling normally on the next map however still raises stats as normally dictated by growth rates.
I think Path of Radiance doesn't do this though and Bonus EXP is no different from normal leveling.
>remove chant from Reyson
>give him demiband and shade
Easy mode.
I started playing it recently. I can't bring myself to carry on. I'm at the chapter where Mist and Rolf join you. The game has a fucking annoying habit of giving you new units then taking them away for a mission or two. I just want Gatrie back, mang.
>>322674850
he can't use deminand
>>322675683
You get him back eventually.
>>322675683
Gatrie and Shinon are the only two units who ever leave. Gatrie himself comes back in Chapter 13. Also after Chapter 9 is the dope prison mission. You can do it
>>322675683
You're right at the part where that stops though. Your party's consistent from now on. You'll get your chance to recruit Gatrie properly later.

Fuck.
What are the most OP character/item combinations?
>>322675683
you are gonna love radiant dawn then
>>322676075
But anon PoR laguz were shit too, arguably they start strong but once your characters hit their promotions and hit their peak the time spent out of beast mode is too heavy a loss.I still use them everytime
>>322676418
Ike with a sword, Ike with a hammer, and Ike with thunder magic.
>>322676418
Ike with wrath, resolve and A support with Oscar
>>322676418
Rolf on any map with ballistas.
>>322676661
Not really in PoR they're all still really good. Even the bad ones are totally usable. It's a far cry from RD where even the good ones suck total bunk. They don't even start op anymore.
>Black Knight is this cool ass enemy that's really intimidating in PoR
>takes off his helmet and is just some faggot no-one cares about
why
>>322677332BEST SWORDSMAN IN ALL OF TELLIUS
>>322677332
Well anon if you read Serenes way back when or datamined PoR yourself, you'd knew who he was before RD even came out.
>>322677240
Wont disagree RD shit on laguz in just about any way they could, while also removing the one flaw they had (no abaility to attack out of transformation) But the only ones i recall staying good was one of the hawks, lethe would get too weak, mordy was too slow. So apart from the obvious Reyson they all fell off later on, not game ruiningly so, just in comparison to everyone else.
