Never played before and just picked up Awakening.
Any tips?
don't fap more than twice a week
>>338645927
too late
>>338645715
Her daughter is better
Awakening allows you to grind thanks to those reeking boxes, so if you ever are in a bind, you can use those to level your dudes up.
Also, pegasus knights are thin as paper when fighting against archers so steer clear of them if you have any of those units on your team.
>>338646450
The insecure looking chick with the bow?
>>338645715
Return that garbage while you can. Don't bother with fates either.
Unless you are autistic and want to replay hour long chapters when a unit dies, either let them stay dead or play on casual mode.
>>338646512
That's the one
Another tidbit, consult a guide on how to recruit particular units if you're interested in having them on your team.
Some of them have particular conditions for recruitment (having Chrom talk with them, or in someone like Donnel's case, get him a level up in his chapter.while also keeping him alive, etc).
>>338646612
Going to play casual.
>>338646637
Eh her mom looks better
>>338646693
Will do thanks
>>338645715
>never played FE
>picked up Awakening
No tips, you already fucked up.
>>338646847
Noire and Tharja are top QT
>>338647003
Agreed. Amazed at the amount of waifus in this series.
>>338646847
>going casual
No
If a unit dies it's your fault 99% of the time
The other 1% is just bad RNG
Also, try and see other girls before shooting for titty mage.
>>338645715
Play another Fire Emblem
>>338645715
Don't play Awakening. It's so ridiculously bad that you won't even consider the girls attractive once you've played it.
It has absolutely awful level design and the game mechanics are retarded. The level of tactical depth is very low, the story sucks, and the characters are poorly written. Stay far away from this game.
>>338646612
Resetting after a death is the best way to get better and learn what works and what doesn't.
Of course, there's not much to learn from Awakening's brain-dead map design and completely unbalanced pair-up mechanic.
>>338647752
fates any better?
>>338647815
Conquest is a vast improvement gameplay wise.
Birthright is slightly better but still more like Awakening
>>338645715
Make sure the voices are set to Jap or you'll miss out on 70% of Tharja's appeal
>>338647815
Nigga you serious?
>>338647815
Conquest has good gameplay, but the story is somehow even worse. The other games are generally better than Awakening but still bad and should be avoided.
>>338647815
Despite what people on /v/ say, Yes.
Assuming you're new, Birthright can help you slide into FE, and Conquest is a fun challenge.
Just ignore the pants-on-head retarded plot.
>>338647815
Conquest > Revelation = Awakening > Birthright
>>338647815
Just emulate FE7. It's free, it's better, and it won't teach you bad habits.
>>338648006
>implying Tharja has any appeal to begin with
>>338647252
I disagree.
In Awakening's case, almost all of my unit deaths were from trial and error type situations. For example, unexpected Reinforcements would spawn and then instantly rush me.
Other than that, I had one or two cases where I was careless, and several cases where the RNG fucked me over.
So, unless having an unexpected challenge thrown at you, a lapse in judgement, or a bout of bad luck and being forced to redo a level you spent an hour on sounds really fun, you should probably either play on casual or accept the death.
recently bought a 2ds and this game, and my current gripe is
>lunatic too hard
>hard too easy
>>338645715
The game has a pretty gentle learning curve and cleanly explains everything. Just don't let Freddy steal the exp, make sure Chrom gets his levels and everything will be fine.
>>338648360
But muh yawn-derry
>>338648227
>it won't teach you bad habits.
Literally the first thing in the game is a tutorial that tells you to make an incredibly risky move (read: a bad habit).
>>338648440
Awakening Lunatic really overinflates enemy stats. ISIS really wants you to buy their dlc.
>>338645715
yes, kill yourself.
>>338648440
>hard
This word gets misused a lot. Even on lunatic+ I wouldn't call Awakening hard since the optimal tactics are still very simple.
>>338645715
refund the game and just fap to the girls.
really.
>>338646612
>casual mode.
That shit ruins the game
>>338645715
You decided to start with the worst game in the series
>>338648495
>that tells you to make an incredibly risky move
What move
>>338646847
There is literally no point in playing fire emblem if you're going to play casual
>>338649529
He hasn't even touched FE9 though.
>>338649980
the only reason to play casual is if you want to play all the side quests and etc.
>>338650004
>FE9
>worst game
>>338649529
It's not Birthright
>>338650126
That item is almost OP as bleach
>>338650123
You can still do that on classic. It's not like Awakening is particularly difficult.
>>338646693
unless its a boss, in general the named ones are recruitable, pretty much talk to em with chrom, if they say something when you kill em.. you dun goofed.. did that my first time to tharja
also nowi and nah >> rest
ignore those saying you fucked up buy picking it up, awakening and fates are the most newcomer friendly of the series thanks to casual mode(awakening has better DLC.. fates DLC is kinda meh.. especially the exp one.. the troops you need to level most just get wrecked by the creatures)
>>338649489
I'd say casual mode is actually quite good for a complete newcomer wanting to learn the mechanics.
Phoenix mode on the other hand is unforgivable. Why even play when the game is practically playing itself?
>>338650270
Awakening was my first introduction to fire emblem, and I decided to play lunatic classic. Regrets were made
>>338650321
>Nowi and Nah
Both are terrible, gameplay and character wise.
>>338649837
I think he means the part where Lyn goes "lol let's hope for a crit or we'll die" and then the game rigs the RNG so you get a crit
>>338648440
I sucked so bad doing lunatic I lost on the tutorial mission
>>338650321
what do you mean they say something when you kill them? i'm gonna try to recruit as many people as possible and i feel like its pretty easy to fuck up
>>338650328
Casual mode is pretty terrible for newcomers. It rewards needlessly risky strategies and bad habits. Then perma-death scares them away from the better games in the series.
>>338650589
I lost fucking Fredrick to a crit, and he had full health
>>338649980
not worth playing casual.. resets game moment someone dies
>>338650321
>nowi and nah >> rest
You're making the world worse simply by existing.
>>338650426
That has more to do with Awakening's terrible balance and map design than classic mode.
>>338650613
It's not
There are maybe 2 recruitable enemies before you get kid units (and it's obvious which ones the kids are) so just don't kill the ginger thief or tomoko kuroki
>>338650613
the oh shit im dead message, big indicator you fucked up if you want to recruit everyone
>>338650775
can't help it if chicks that can turn into dragons give me a.. shit fuck it im turned on by dragons.. got a problem?
>>338650832
design game mechanic wise or design design wise?
my friend literally grinds for about 10 hours then breezes through the game 1 hitting everything. How do people have fun like that?
>>338650672
I'd say as long as you aren't over reliant on the units coming back it's fine to learn how the system works with.I'm speaking from experience because Awakening was my first game and I played it through with permadeath after my first run then played some of the older ones
>>338650752
It's called learning by trial and error. You might be surprised to find out it's actually more difficult to clear a map when you try to keep everyone alive than it is when you can rely on risky (and bad) strategies.
>>338650672
I played casual mode after lunatic classic, and then moved to FE7. I did ok in my first run of 7
>>338650985
mechanic-wise
Most maps in Awakening are just big open fields. They're repetitive and bland, and have little to no depth.
>>338645715
don't ask /v/ about it's opinion on games.
If you actually want to discuss video games instead of shitposting about them you should just fuck off.
>>338651280
shit, now that I think about it......
(no wonder I like the maps on cliffs and mountains :/)
>>338645715
Nah, nice thing is that you can take the game at your own pace. Go straight from chapter to chapter, go grind and shit. There's no "right" way to play, despite what some of the more petty and childish parts of /v/ will tell you.
Maybe watch out that Frederick doesn't steal all the kills in early game. You'll want to make sure Chrom and Robin get some experience.
Tap X to check enemy ranges. Remember that planning for enemy phase is the most important part of player phase.
The tutorials are pretty in depth. There's really nothing hidden or obtuse.
>>338651253
That's great
However, I have seen many newcomers that were hesitant to try out older games because they used casual mode as a crutch.
>>338651561
I love that fucker's art. Though I will admit his FE9/10!Tharja looked off.
>>338651587
I was a bit scared when playing 7, but after playing the first few chapters in easy (not the tutorial chapters) I deleted my save and moved up to the hardest difficulty (wasn't sure if Lunatic was a playable mode)
>>338645715
Awakening is one of the best fire emblem games, but I recommend Fates to start you off as well as awakening. If you wanna learn the game, Birthright will help you do that. If you want something traditional to start you off along with Awakening, go for Conquest.
>>338652409
>Awakening is one of the best fire emblem games
kek
how many Fire Emblem games are you familiar with exactly?
>>338652634
6 of them, completed 4 of them (fates counted as one)
>>338652768
And you still think Awakening is one of the better ones?
Why? The maps are bland, the story is weak, pair-up completely trivializes the game...
I mean, I can understand finding it fun, but stating it as "one of the best Fire Emblem games" is pretty much objectively wrong.
>>338652634
I've played all of them and I can agree with him.
>>338653314
I'd love to hear some arguments as to why because I'm honestly kind of baffled.
>>338653204
Oh wait a minute, I didn't mean the BEST one. I meant that Awakening is the reason Fire emblem didn't die yet, as well as jumping the series to 3D (The story was good but nothing to lose my head about).
>>338653617
>I'd love to hear some arguments
No you don't, you passive-aggressive dork.
>>338653743
Yes I would and I'm not hearing any
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_17EeUPcd4
Well?
>>338647954
I'm doing the first run on Birthright, and the combat seems a lot deeper than Awakening, apart from pic related, Silas, and Ryoma whom I'm sparsely using nobody can really take a hit. Hana is so squishy she often gets one-rounded.tfw her and Kaze will never manage to catch that mouse
>>338650004
How was that the worst one, especially as it had a final boss that moves in HM
>>338645715
Game's biggest flaw is not letting you fuck your own daughter
Donnel is fucking amazing when he levels up, don't rely on Frederick as tempting as it is.
Tharja is overrated
Marry someone with similar stats to yourself to make those children perfect.
The Dancer isn't worth keeping as a dancer, reclass to Swordmaster
If you don't like Awakening but think you could like another SRPG then I recommend earlier Fire Emblem games, namely Genealogy of the Holy War on SNES which got a pretty good translation.
I personally don't particularly like the massive size of Holy War stages so I'd also recommend the second and third GBA games, which are called "Fire Emblem" and "Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones" in Burgerland.
Awakening is good in its own right, that's the one I started with but emulating Path of Radiance and FE7 have shown me the light for this genre.
similar games include
Shining Force, Sega's Fire Emblem that actually released outside of Japan
Advance Wars, most notable for its level editor and multiplayer. It's much easier than any other game mentioned in this post, though.
>>338653617
>>338653743
Woah there calm down you two. Its just a game guys. I didn't mean for my awakening opinion to cause a scene
I just finished Revelation after completing Birthright and Conquest. Very satisfying series overall, and Conquest was far and away the best of the three. Chapter 10 was maybe my favorite FE map ever.
Also, am I the only one that always ritual sacrificed this faggot to Faceless as soon as possible by charging him at them with no weapon?126
>>338648220
Completely wrong. Revelations is by far the worst and birthright is just awakening with better maps/gameplay
>>338654117
>I personally don't particularly like the massive size of Holy War stages
You mean you don't like taking years to cross a map? The way that some of them go, it kind of feels like Guts on the boat.
>>338654117
>Game's biggest flaw is not letting you fuck your own daughter.
true
>>338653702
>I meant that Awakening is the reason Fire emblem didn't die yet
That's a common misconception. It's more like, "Awakening would not be the last title in the series unless it sold horribly". The bottom line they wanted was easily achievable.
Also the reason a lot of the previous entries didn't sell well is mostly because of very poor marketing. Awakening finally stepped it up in that regard and sold very well as a result.
>>338654359
Revelations is the result of when Conquest and Birthright fuck. Revelations compliment B and C nicely
>>338654663
>Revelations compliment B and C nicely
No.
>>338654562
Huh, never knew that.
>>338654380
I was worried people would call me a casual for thinking that but yes, that is exactly what it feels like.
>>338654736
Just no? give some reasons anon.
>>338654867
No.
>>338654760
Yeah, not him but I believe that they only needed to sell 250,000 to pretty much be where they wanted it to be, and to my knowledge most of the games in the series had hit that mark.
>>338645715
Owain is the best mage in the game. Don't fuck him up.
>>338654867
not him but
>awful map gimmicks like chapter 10

You: "no damage"
Me: " 100% crit with killing edge"
>>338655256
>to my knowledge most of the games in the series had hit that mark
No, not really. You see a few peaks with the big obvious ones but it was all going downhill past 7.
Awakening is a hail mary.
>>338645715
Return it and get Birthright since it's a hundred times better as a starting point.
But if you insist on Awakening, then go ahead.
Keep track of your gold.
You can grind units using Reeking Boxes, though most FE games don't allow grinding. It's more of knowing where to put units to do the most damage and get the most experience.
Always use the max amount of units if possible.
Don't use Frederick.
The weapon triangle isn't that influential later in the game.
Don't use Frederick.
Only use casual for maybe one playthrough. Most games don't have casual mode and you don't want to depend on it. And if you play Fates, (unless you like sucking nigger cocks) do NOT use Phoenix mode.
That's all I can really think of.
>>338651037
Idk maybe it gives them a false sense of power and accomplishment
>>338655359
I agree with the the lazy start of the plot and easy map exploits, but everything else is great.
>>338654867
>awful balancing, you're only going to use corrin, azura and maybe kaze/felicia for the first 12 chapters. The rest of the chapters pretty much require you to use the royal because of all the dragon vein bs
>the story manages to be worse than awakening/birthright
>map design is way too gimmicky and random, not very well thought out unlike conquest
I need pictures
Pictures of Ike
>>338655449
If the previous games received even half the marketing Awakening got they would've sold a lot better.
>>338655449
http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=45769&page=2#entry2889370
Now, I'm just trying to make sure that I have this straight. It looks like most of the games do hit the 250,000 the notable slump seems to be Ike's game which were below but 7/8 seem to hit that mark and so does Shadow Dragon and New Mystery. From what I've been looking at it seems like the "250,000 copies sold" was just the latest in a line of scare tactics that they development team gets told.

>>338655692
I haven't finished revelations yet, but your reasons are valid. Maybe conquest is the best.
>>338647815
Birthright doesn't make your army as OP as it can in Awakening. Unless you spam Ryoma, but that's only if you're just awful at video games.
The characters are much more vibrant, the settings and maps are better, but still pretty plain. Story is the best of the three, despite it being crap. But nobody plays FE for the story.
Conquest is like classic FE. Hard, no time to grind, and the best gameplay the series has seen since FE7. I'd even put it up there with Genealogy.
I would really consider stopping Awakening and picking up Birthright. Only reason I haven't sold my copy of Awakening is because I want to at least finish it. But I get bored when all my units can OHKO everybody.
>>338655682
>stealth map based on knowing enemy movement patterns that encourages taking 50 turns for a bonus is good
>ambush spawn ice map is good

No.
>>338655508
>don't use frederick
Obviously you don't want him to get every kill but Frederick is a beast thanks to second seals.
>>338654663
It's just birthright on steroids with awful maps. Enemies still don't have skills, maps are either mazes or jumping platform to platform that just wastes a lot of time and allows you to fight the enemy completely on your terms making engagements too easy. You solo with corrin for the fist 3 maps and then you get shitty units way too far behind your level forcing you to grind as the next map throws pre-promoted enemy units at you. It's honestly a mess.
>>338655998
He's pretty much Ryoma, or vice versa since AW came first.
Just don't bother with him as long as you know how to use the other units. He's good in a pinch but relying on him is a bad thing. Just like Ryoma.
>Conquest ended up being the best version by far
I knew it would end up like this
>>338655998
Shit.
>>338656194
So would they be Oifeys?
Until awakening I never knew I was turned on by the ojou archetype. Too fucking bad that it was probably the only one that didn't carry into the next game god dammit.
>>338656275
IIRC Birthright outsold it. That just tells Nintendo that people don't want challenge. So enjoy Conquest to its fullest because it's probably the last.
>>338656685
>Too fucking bad that it was probably the only one that didn't carry into the next game god dammit.
Yes it did.
>>338656839
Or you know, people bought the cool Japanese one first and then bought the others as DLC routes.
>make Nyx Rhajat's mom for Tharja black hair
>reclass her to dark mage line

Jesus why.She's the best mage though. Playing through every route of Fates I'd forgotten how beastly mages were in Awakening.
>>338657582
>Playing through every route of Fates I'd forgotten how beastly mages were in Awakening
Well that shouldn't be hard, considering magic users got nerfed hard in Fates.

>>338656896

I guess I shouldn't complain because she has half a doujin which is more than some of the others, but still. Why does Japan always not like what I like?
>>338658951That was the joke.

>>338645927
I fap about 5 times a day
>>338658619
Yeah, the male dark mage outfit definitely doesn't leave much to the imagination.
Shame he's got such balanced growths. It works better for a physical unit than a mage, but it did turn out pretty well reclassing him to the samurai line.
He somehow ended up the 2nd best swordmaster(only Ryoma was better, naturally) among all my units.
When is the Anna DLC going to be out for europe?Somehow the girls in Fates are even worse than Awakening

How is Foleo as a unit? I'm thinking about having/fucking him when I get the game.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE SPERGS. Awakening is a legit good game only hated on by elitist shitters.
>>338660059
He also keeps the pants when promoted, while others change into shorts.
In my current run he has pretty good magic, but it almost doesn't matter when every other mage is blind glass and his crit/skill proc rates are so high.
>>338645715
>>338661412
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS SPERG. Awakening is not a legit good game and is only liked by casual elitist shitters.
>>338645715 (OP)
Long term FE fan here
Awakening was a pretty good game to start off on, although the older ones are alot better(7 and 9 in particular)
After Awakening I suggest getting Sacred Stones on GBA and then FE7 also on GBA
From there Fates is really big but Revelations is garbage
Play whichevr one you want but save FE5 and 10 for later because they are really hard
And dont let the shitposters get you down, awakening is a good entry game
WON'T FORGET THARJA
Chuck Awakening in the garbage and pick up the GBA games on the virtual console.
If you want to try Lunatic or even Hard, clench up that anus and get read to use Frederick. A lot
>>338661097
His prologue is hell.
>>338662660
Fuck the debate, post more Lyn thighs
>>338661097
He's pretty good. High base hp, mag, and res growths, and his other growths are alright except strength and sorta skl. If you're in Conquest, he only has two magic mothers available (Nyx and Felicia), but they both work out rather well for him. Nyx emphasizes his strengths (higher mag, better speed), while Felicia rounds out his weaknesses (more skl, better luck). I've used him and he works out very well, as long as he's using magic.
>>338663087
>timed maps are difficult
>>338662541
HNNNNNNNG
Don't listen to the people telling you to stop playing. Awakening is a pretty decent game, it just isn't as good as the other ones and focuses too much on supports.
I started with Awakening as well and moved on to the other games. FE4 and FE6 are my favorites and for some reason I found FE8 to be the weakest one although most people here love it.
Just keep playing it if you like it. I recommend moving to the GBA ones or Fates later since I think these are the most "casual" friendly of the bunch. Definitely leave FE5 for later.
The FE1 remake on the DS is really ugly but is more balanced than the other two versions.
So, who is best girl in Awakening?Just kidding, we all know it's Morgan

Yeah, most of the parents you'll probably bench once you get their kids except for Chrom, Robin, and depending how much you used her, Sumia.

>>338665094
>FE isn't that good.
Alright, what do you find wrong with it?
>>338651037
A game like this shouldn't allow you to grind. It's incredibly easy to get levels, reclass, and get all the overpowered skills really early on.
>>338665132
Because that's how numbers work. 17 comes after 16. Using decimals or other stuff when it's a linear progression would be retarded.

>>338665342
Yeah, same here. I don't even like drugs and rape, but when you are faced with such a drought you have to grab whatever is there. I also think she's in loveblem, but I'm pretty sure she only gets two extremely mediocre pages.
Lyn is fine, but what about Eirika?
>>338665795
she would fuck anyone just as easily as giving them the sacred stone
>>338665152
>Not giving her the Frededick
Literally the only route worth for her. All of her others are shit or autistic
>>338665763
I like Loveblem, but the lack of Maribelle was staggering. Also didn't like that Nowi was the only one who didn't have sex with MU, instead having sex with Gaius, although that's my preference talking, given my love for dragon lolis

>>338647812
>Resetting after a death is the best way
Which is why the game is designed around it and throws up a "restart the mission y/n?" prompt when a unit dies in hardcore mode. Oh wait, no it doesn't. You have to google how to soft reset a 3DS because the game was never designed to be played that way, but FE autists insist that you're playing it wrong if you aren't resetting the whole mission every time a unit dies to RNG or unpredictable reinforcements.
The game is shit, the franchise is shit, and IS should give up and go back to making Advance Wars, an actually fair and vastly superior series of games.
>>338666476

>>338666624
I'm still baffled as to how Manaketes reproduce
Do they lay eggs?
Do they give live birth?
If they impregnated in one form, does switching harm the child?
>>338665636
FUCK NOW I NEED MORE.
>>338645715
Play a female Avatar and marry Chrom. The game's plot is better that way, if you care about that sort of thing.

I think I found someone who is sad their favorite series is dead
dont worry us golden sun fans feel the same

i'd really like to
>>338667510
https://youtu.be/N7LcIcowdDk?t=110
they are adorable
>>338667723
It's a shame I can't marry my daughter. Morgan is far superior to all of the other sluts
>>338667283
Here's the thing though:It makes absolutely no sense why Lucina wouldn't just kill Robin as soon as she found out that Robin is responsible for the terrible future, unless Robin is either her mother or lover. Like, you're telling me you would have difficulty between having your dad die and the future utterly ruined over killing your dad's best friend? There is NO reason Lucina shouldn't kill Robin if Robin isn't Lucina's mom or her husband, and the latter just kinda seems creepy imo. Plus, Lucina and Morgan make best siblings.
>intro to Awakening was so cool
>obviously I'm gonna betray this chump Lord Chrump and feel bad
>later on the exact same scene plays
>impaled by lightning
>handwaved immediately after, my character all "it's just a prank bro" to Validar

power of friendship themes worse than Undercooked, GOTY 2015
>>338667991
if morgan was fuckable, then nintendo would have to put in a divorce mechanic in the games ;)
>>338667589
yeah man
i only got into the series in like 2012 though so it was already dead by the time i fell in love with it
but with this + wii u's garbage lineup and censorship nintendo is dead to me
>>338668037
Lucina's not a deranged vigilante who's going to kill someone in cold blood. Of course she's going to confront Robin with what she believes is the best course of action, regardless of her personal feelings on the matter.
>>338667912
I'm just so into the dark haired punk girl look.
>>338668094
Yeah, I hate that friendship shit so damned much.
You can have a character get a bad wound without having to ham it up, which unfortunately goes over into the the shonen plot of fates.
>>338645715
No point using some characters like virion.
Try not to rely on Frederick early game
>>338663639
I wanted to marry her so bad ;_;
>>338668509
She's the best, no matter who her mother is
>>338666275
You mean only Tiki right? The other Awakening dragons sucked
>>338668325
Lucina went into that cutscene fully prepared to kill Robin, but then didn't because she couldn't.
Which makes no goddamn sense. I'm sorry, but Lucina definitely seems like she would sacrifice Robin to save the future UNLESS the two had a special connection like Robin being her mother.
Plus, to me, it makes Robin and Chrom's bond be stronger, makes more sense from a plot point, and gives a really awesome feeling of seeing the entire family trying to take down Grima together.
>>338668805
>Nowi sucked
I'll give you Nah, but Nowi was top tier
>>338666952
this is a very good question.. they kinda skipped the question in both awakening and fates..
>tfw you have to leave your waifu behind for the other route
it's not fair bros.
>>338666952
Probably mammalian-like live birth, all things considered.
Nah mentions to her father the idea of him getting her mother pregnant.
Now, sexual reproduction exists among reptiles still.
There's probably magic protection regarding form switching since transformation itself is magical.
>>338668631
She really was the best daughterfu.
>>338669604
I like to believe that, once a manakete gets pregnant, she's locked in that form until she gives birth. Her dragonstone stops working, period, she can't transform at all.
Since we never actually see a pregnant manakete in the series, the sky is the limit for these theories
>>338670076
Pretty much, I'd assume the same kind of thing would work for the Laguz.
>>338668037
Hey, I was at least her cool uncle since I fucked my best friend's sister
And regardless of who you end up with Lucina should be well acquainted with her kingdom's head tactician, but then it's not entirely clear how big the time gap is between Lucina being born and Grima possessing Robin in that timeline
>>338670076
>>338670160
Though, I just had a thought as soon as I hit submit. The dragons of Tellius seem to have weird ass pregnancies as Ena was pregnant for years with Rajaion's child.
>>338645715
Her face and hair always ruined her for me. She's really not all that pretty.
Don't play on the hardest difficulty, I did that and let the game make all the desicions and I still lost on the first real level
>>338670076
The fathers can die in Awakening but the mothers just retreat, even after the time skip.
So every married Gen 1 female in Awakening is pregnant after Lucina joins the party.
Goddamn there was a lot of fucking going on in Chrom's army. Like the goddamn Olympic village of fantasy.
>>338670448
Wait, you used auto-battle?
Tiki, Say'ri, and Anna were best girls of Awakening.
Sad they were in Awakening. We got any Tiki/Say'ri/Anna fags in here?
>>338670591
Did we ever find out how long the war with Valm lasted? If it only lasted a month or so, I would agree with you, but after that the pregnancy would start slowing down some of the best fighters in Chrom's army
>>338670591
>So every married Gen 1 female in Awakening is pregnant after Lucina joins the party.
Are you sure about that? There seems to be sprinklings of dialogue that suggest some of the kids weren't conceived during the timeline of the main game.
>>338670614
Only to see if the computer could beat it's own game, I played on "experienced" I think and I still didn't beat it because I just got bored
>>338670591
That's some weird ass logic.
>>338669171
It really isn't. Or I would say that if I weren't a harem kind of guy.

>Anna says she's sorry that she pretended to be her sister.
>Annatells you she loves you and wants to be your baby factory for maximum profit.
holy shit that escalated quickly
>>338674429
Flavia is okay. Pretty good support.
>>338674429
Nope I'd follow the major anywhere. Too bad she shows up late in the game.
>>338645715
don't play on casual mode.
This is the best way to learn the rules of the game.
>>338675238
>you unknowingly sleep with a different Anna every night
THAT'S how they make so many Annas!
>>338674486
and then you'd look at>>338663742 as well as reading that support with Nowi where she talk's about Tharja's 'boingy bits' and you would know for a fact that Tharja has a powerful fucking ass and tits
Oboro is the best birthright girl
>>338645715

>>338673891
My fellow brethren of excellent taste
>>338677102
You're not wrong. Granted the Hoshidans are generally not as good as the Nohrians but still.
>>338677889
Too bad she has a thing for Lobsters. But I guess if it makes you feel better, Ryoma is bit dense about it?
>>338677889
>wanted a badass tomboy waifu to make up for the massive disappointment that was Rinkah
>got a bedazzle-obsessed nerd
FUCK WHY IS IT ONLY THE GUYS WHO'LL DISCUSS TACTICS AND RUNNING THE ARMY AND NOT BORING SHIT LIKE BEING CLUMSY OR TRAINING ENDLESSLY
>>338678761
That's why I like her. From the blurred screen of her I saw, I assumed she was going to be an ugly bulldyke who's only defining trait is: wants to be a man. Then I saw a clearer image of her and saw she was pretty cute, then I read her supports and saw she had a bit of a personality. It's not much, but it's there.
>>338678761
Honestly there are a lot of girls that might qualify as "badass tomboy waifu." I mean the main ones are Hinoka, Scarlet and Rinkah, though Hana could also count I guess.
Thinking about it, Nohr doesn't really have any tomboys.
>>338678761
Because waifufags. You need to accept that husbandos are your only option if you want any other kind of characterization.
Has anyone modded in in-game harems yet? I want to play Rance mode already. Harems are even in-lore in fucking conquest due to based Emperor.
>>338680814
>Gooran being based when in came to the concubines
Nigga, please. He didn't keep his hoes in check.
Not OP but I also picked this game up. I married Tharja (for some odd reason).
Question about Nowi. Does she have a level cap? Is there any reason to change her class?
>>338681252
Manakete caps at 40. Reclass for skills and then go back to manakete.
>>338681252
Manaketes cap at 30. You can reclass to get skills and then change her back to have an even better manakete.
>>338681353
>>338681420
Nice. thanks bros.
>>338681358
>shadman
>>338681420
Level caps in Awakening are weird. What's even the point of it?
>>338681698
Classes that don't promote, I guess.
>>338681608
>not liking shadgod.
>>338681698
Just a carry over from FE gameplay that was kept even if it didn't mean anything for gameplay or didn't contribute meaningfully. Like how #FE kept the weapon triangle even though its entire purpose was to influence unit positioning.
>>338681353
>>338681420
Question about kids: Grandmaster or Manakete as final class? I get the impression that Manakete would be better.
>>338681252
when getting her skills, remember one of the DLC rewards a +4 stat cap skill, which is amazing for the lovely manakete's
>>338682032
game is so literally easy, I never understand why people minmaxed it
>>338680980
Its only one bitch that went out of line and Kamui monogomy offers no protection from procreating with a backstabbing bitch >>338677889
>>338682118
What? I think you're talking about something slightly different. I'm talking about Garon's Waifu Wars that got a lot of the other royal siblings and their mothers killed. The 4 Royal Nohrian siblings that we see in game were the only ones left.
>>338663639
Morgan. ButNowi_is the best female marriage candidate.
>>338680814
Camilla wants Rance mode too.
>>338682032
The only reason to go near manaketes is to use manaketes. If you aren't, plenty of other choices are better.
>>338682513
That is a based big sis... Is Kamui as much of an insufferable faggot in-game as he is in this comic?
>>338682032
I think the only thing you need to minmax are her chest and lewd outfit respectively

>>338683348
She's cute but still every bit as much of a dumb shit as male Corrin, so she's far from best girl.
>>338683736
Plus since kids are father based Fem Corn doesn't have to resort to a Cornsexual or someone else's kid to get all of the kids, which is a concern for some people
Although the kids in Fates aren't nearly as good

Sometimes Siegbert gets to top when he's feeling particularly inadequate.
>>338687276
Ew, Siegbert is so ugly. At least pair Shiro up with someone good looking like Saizo's kid.
>>338661097
He has shitty skill, but he's a good healer. If he gets into a fight, he can hold his own against anything that can't oneshot him.

Because.
Why is Lissa's son a myrmidon? Why can only two royals use the sword?
>>338690548
>Why is Lissa's son a myrmidon?
Because he's the son of a myrmidon
>>338690548
The one thing I appreciate about the kids in Fates is that they're at least a similar class to their parent. Owain at least had speed going for him and Noire is good as a Bow Knight. Aside from her, Brady, Gerome and Morgan, I didn't use any of the other kids because they started too weak.
>>338690910
But I'm not a myrmidon and that one gave birth to a bitch.

I remember Inigo being obscenely good for me, though Donnel's meaty stat cock might have helped

>>338690954
Actual best kids in terms of usability:
Owain
Noire
Severa
The rest are more vulnerable to parenting or technical weaknesses.
Why do people like Birthright over Awakening anyway? People say it's harder but I find that RNG is even more forgiving in this one than Awakening's, and the story just seems.... dull. I can't get into these characters or the story.
>>338694120
I think it's an opinion of people who played Conquest more but don't seem to consider the fact that Conquest's RNG seems rigged to some extent, so the assumption that it carries over into Birthright can affect some opinions.
>>338694234
Maybe that's it. Because I did play Birthright first, and I did not get that sense at all. RNG seemed very forgiving, I got away with a lot.
>>338694507
I never played Birthright at all myself, but playing both Conquest and Revelations at once feels like a shocking amount of difference because in Conquest I have to actually worry about anything less than a 75% hit on my side missing, and any enemy with at least 30% hit may as well be guaranteed, but then Revelation feels like the more traditional success rates on both sides of the playing field.
>>338694738
Really now? That's interesting. When I played Birthright, anything around 90% above on my side always hit. Meanwhile enemies could have an 80% chance of hitting and miss a decent amount of times.
I heard that Revelations was notoriously difficult, even more so than Conquest. Is this true?
>>338695068
Not at all. Revelations is easier by a significant margin not just because you have the option to play side maps for exp, but also because enemies aren't given the cruel skillsets that Conquest does and the map designs try for more gimmicks but have some terrible oversights that can completely trivialize them if you use flying units. Conquest's maps don't have any oversights and will put you through whatever hell they were designed for no matter what.
>>338695068
It's just gimmicky and so poorly balanced you'd almost think it was an old version. It cries out for a fan edit.
best
>>338695287
Huh, that's strange. I would have thought the "true chapter" would be more challenging than Conquest. What strange decisions on Nintendo's part.
>>338695461
It feels like such an afterthought. A lot of characters aren't changed much in base stats from their defaults from the other routes, regardless of when you recruit them, leading to unit imbalance even worse than Radiant Dawn.
>>338670664
Replace Anna with Aversa and I'll agree.
Aversa is hot as fuck and gives best Morgan.
Tiki is hot as fuck and the pairing is interesting, story-wise.
Say'ri is cute as fuck and has the best supports.
Decent 3ds emulator when?
>>338693797
Inigo works with any dad and he gets all the classes he could want naturally except cavalier. He, Morgan and Severa are the most idiot-proof kids.

>>338699661
I'd put Inigo fourth since his recruitment can be kind of painful on higher difficulty and his mother is vulnerable to underuse. That goes away if grinding for skills, of course.
Morgan is always separate due to being avatar+1.
What's a good class to end up as for my Revelations run? I did hero on Birthright because I love mercs and swordmaster on Conquest because I felt like being a shitter.
