apsham Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I don't know if it changed but I know that when I had a homebrew compatible O3DS, SNES games were very shaky at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yeah, New 3DS is a better performing system, which people forget--it's a legitimate upgrade and not just "the same plus amiibo and a little stick nub thing." You can see the difference in games like Smash Bros that strain on the original. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruki Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 ...ugh, why the hell do I save scum in Fire Emblem? I'm the worst. When I play Conquest I should just turn on the option that has the people return after battle. I'm on chapter 12... First time...pegasus got too close to an arrow who I thought was out of range. NOPE. Restart. Second time...I was just trying to kill the armored dudes, then the king fucked up my shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidden Content Dude, no, Chapter 12 you go in and grab the treasure if you want it but the main thing is you attach the avatar to a flying unit like Hinoka and GET THE HELL OUT OF DODGE. Sticking Saizo or Kaze with Setsuna to swoop in and grab the treasure chest on the same turn that you exit the battlefield is a good idea. You can't beat the king in Chapter 12, he's way too powerful, that's the point. Chapter 12 is not a good place to grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsham Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I was actually so immersed at that point that I popped on a flying unit and went straight to the exit - not even thinking if I was missing picking up a unit/treasure. I'm also wondering at this point if I missed anyone in a Tharja type way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Most of the joining characters are really obvious in Birthright. Did you get Takumi? I think he's the only person who starts as an enemy that you can get (in that horrible, awful, no fun at all forest map with the spike traps).

apsham Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I did! There were a ton of named characters this time around that I was unsure of, but I got him so huzzah. I'm going to go over my pairings tonight.. I am spending way too much time getting people paired up/getting kids than actually doing story at this point. Rushing relationships is easy enough though.

Ruki Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Can you NOT get Takumi in that fight? Also, in Chapter 12...what happens if you go fight your evil brother and his gang? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxx Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 So I got a 3DS XL and both Fates games, Birthright physical, Conquest download. I started things in classic mode so if someone dies, I won't get them back ever, right? I am prepared to punish myself in that regard. What do you guys use for SD cards? I know I'll need to get a bigger one pretty soon. Also, game recommendations plz, 3DS, DS, virtual console whatever you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I think (could be wrong) in the first 6 chapters they will return. I had Kaze die in one of the first missions, and now he's one of my stronger units.

Garon has ridiculous stats, a top-level axe, Dragonskin (halves all damage), and a posse. You're a mid-level schmuck whose goal in the battle is RETREAT.

Ruki Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 That's the king! I'm talking about the brother who shows up on the far left side. After I lost someone to Garon I decided to say fuck it and tried to kill him....I think I took 5HP off of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Oh, which one is it, Xander? Probably not, I'm almost to the point where you have to actually fight Xander and the whole point of much of the plot is that Xander is TONKA TOUGH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruki Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 It is indeed Xander. I was looking at his stats and it seems doable to fight him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case, I went with the largest capacity the system will allow (32 GB) Bought it specifically for Xenoblade Chronicles. Also intend to pick up Chrono Trigger, Dream Drop Distance, and the recent Fire Emblem games when my hours at work pick up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruki Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 I know it'd be a lot of work to have every child have unique dialog with every possible mother....but when Setsuna is Caeldori's mother, it just feels weird. Edit: I think I've decided to pair Azama and Kagero, Rinkah and Saizo, Kaden and Sakura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 My pairings were Avatar/Rhajat Hayato/Orochi (this makes an absolutely incredible Rhajat) Jakob/Azura (Jakob's son is an absolute healing monster, this is a good combination) Ryoma/Hana Silas/Rinkah Kaze/Felicia Hinata/Kagero Takumi/Mozu Subaki/Sakura Azama/Hinoka Kaden/Setsuna Saizo/Oboro I haven't gotten most of these yet; I've got Rhajat, both of Jakob and Asura's children, and Ryoma's son. The children chapters scale by level, so since I got Rhajat and Dwyer (Jakob's son) early, they were fairly easy. It's not a situation like Awakening where some kids (Morgan, Kjelle, Owain) have very easy paralogues and some (Gerome, Nah, Brady) have really hard ones. I made a couple of attempts at Azama's daughter but kept dying for stupid reasons, so I decided to wait and come back later. When I came back later, all of the generic outlaws were suddenly second-tier classes and they were all over the map. In Awakening, it was fairly easy to grind someone like Olivia all the way to Galeforce and then pass it on to Inigo, but in Fates, if you grind your characters to a level 15 skill, you pay for it with tougher enemies. I'm at the point where the same seven or eight people (Avatar, Rhajat, Ryoma, Hana, Saizo, Oboro, Hinoka, and Azama) pretty much handle all of my fighting and everyone else just hangs back trying to get a shot in.

Ruki Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'm on chapter 15 or 16 or maybe even 17...but I need more female party members. I have too many guys and not even women! How am I going to get over powered babies?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
