Fire Emblem Fates General Discussion: Filled with Nohrian Scum

[Thunder]

I have to say I am a bit annoyed at the units I'm given in Birthright. I'm at Chapter 11 as well and I'm averaging 2 new units per chapter, but they aren't units I really need. I have 3 Ninjas and 3 healers, but not a single Knight (or whatever the Hoshidan equivalent of a slow moving unit who's purpose is to be a physical wall) and only 1 Cavalier. Also I have 6 units that use Lances/Naginatas, but only 1 Axe/Club user. smh give me some variety game.
Other than that I love it so far, that's the only thing that's really bugging me.

I get what ya mean, Rinkah seems like the closest thing to a Knight in my playthrough so far. Is Conquest more varied as far as unit classes go?

Siegbert needs a new haircut.

This game is fire.

There's enough variety to work with in Conquest, but I believe the classes are sort of "split" between games. Conquest generally sticks to more sort of traditionally European themes, while Birthright sticks to more Japanese-inspired classes. I assume they did that to avoid sort of breaking the themes they set.

At least the MU can pick a "Talent" (I forgot what it's actually called) that pertains to the other game. I've only played Conquest so far, and I'm on chapter 23, but my secondary class line was the Samurai/Swordmaster line.

Well, I have a Lucina amiibo, so I added her in so that I could add someone extra special with a bit more variety. But with everyone I'm using, I don't even think I'll have room for her xD!

Fun fact: The free DLC, Before Awakening, will scale according to story progression. If you want to use it to spam supports (as I was planning to do), make sure you do it early.

I'll just have to wait until my next playthrough for that.

 

[Capella]

My first playthrough is so bad...Im really under leveled and I didnt pay attention to supports. I'll have to try out conquest later on

 

[radical6]

Why did NoA **** up with translations so badly? Seriously some of the supports are nothing like the originals if you read what they were translated from. One between that blue ninja girl and Saizo is just "..." when the original Japanese translation was actually a conversation. Wtf?

 

[Ayaya]

Wow they actually removed dialogue that actually gave insight to their characters and past o_o

 

[Thunder]

I'm hoping it's just some kinda bug and not intentional, they've already fiddled with pickleboy and from what I hear, Effie as well.

If they were going for a joke, I think it'd be better if they edited those conversation mini-events that happen around your castle.

Balls, I was gonna use that to level up my lower leveled units. Maybe I'll wait until my units are level 20 in their base class to work on supports.

Well, it also doesn't give EXP, so that wouldn't have helped. What I WAS going to do was grind supports, have units marry each other, and do the kid paralogues for additional EXP.

Is that so? I was under the impression that only applied to the Nohr route.

 

[Ayaya]

I think you can still spam supports through castle battles? I remember my friend said she did this on Anya/Conquest because she wanted to see how all supports are first before marrying units together.

I'll try to set up mine so my units doesn't have weapons equipped and anyone can safely grind for supports.

 

[bloomwaker]

Is that so? I was under the impression that only applied to the Nohr route.

I've only just finished the Nohr route, so it's the only one I have experience with. I guess I'll be seeing how this goes tomorrow, maybe later today (but probably tomorrow).

Is anyone here playing Birthright that knows how experience goes in Before Awakening?

 

[Thunder]

Figured I'd give it a try to be sure, Scarlet did get EXP from chopping up some poor DLC dude.

 

[bloomwaker]

I got the chance to try it myself now too, this is very good to know. >w>

Gamestop lost my SE, pray for me guys.

 

[bloomwaker]

Oh snap, I'm sorry ;;
I hope they get one to you.

Gamestop lost my SE, pray for me guys.

Gamestop is making you atone for your sins.

I feel a little better about missing out on the SE, everyone I know who's ordered it is still waiting on it.

Here's something fun I learned: Shrine Maidens can join fighters in the arena.

The not-so fun part is Sakura just stood there doing nothing while Azura got her ass handed to her.

Silas, Subaki, and Hinoka say hello! They fulfill that role nicely, with the bonus that they can move quite far, deal great damage, AND take a beating. Rinkah is a glass cannon, she hits hard but can't take what she dishes out too well.

On Chapter 16 of Birthright, loving it.
Upgraded all of my main units' classes. Corrin is now a 'Hoshidan Noble' class!

Hope you can get it!!
