Prologue: Welcomes and information
Hello, all who are currently reading this! This is the opening page of what will be the storage place for all my liveblogs of the Fire Emblem series of games. In here, I will be updating chapter by chapter as I play through the games and hopefully make those updates as fun to read as possible!
The next page will be a Table of Contents, since this will eventually get fairly large, and it will make categorizing which games are being covered in which liveblog installments much easier.
Continue forth onto the next page, and hopefully enjoy your time reading!

A shame that you're meeting up with Ephraim, but good that you got Joshua. The Navarre-clone in this game is especially powerful and Navarreish.
Also, you didn't mention the arena.

Congrats for your first support of the game! I assume that it will take ages to actually get a pair to A-Rank (especially if the system is akin to the other GBA games), but with your focus on only a few units, they should all end up as the closest of comrades by the time this war is over.
Speaking of supports, I can't help but wonder what pairs will be formed. You have seven key units at the end of this, and while I don't know the limit you're putting on yourself, I don't think it's possible to get all A and B Ranks if there was only one more recruit. Perhaps if you allowed yourself a force of nine or ten units (preferably ten, so that one person isn't stuck with two B Ranks, and so I can more easily guess your future party members), both Neimi and Eirika could have a back-up support, but there is no possible eighth unit that could support them both...I'm over-thinking things and running my mouth off again, aren't I? Well, whatever couples are formed by the end of this, I hope that they serve you well.

@doctrain: I didn't use the arena this time, since I don't like to use it unless I'm playing SD, where it's needed to cap out your army. And Ephraim will be dealt with shortly enough, since there aren't any party members with him.
@Endark: Supports won't take too long, so long as I try to get at least one on every chapter with some downtime. As for the A and B rank setup, I don't plan on getting everyone maxed out, support wise, but if I remember my setup correctly, everyone will have at least an A support. Also, Eirika isn't part of the party, so she won't be supporting (she's only here because she has to be, so I mention what she does in passing).

Really? Well then, that throws a monkey wrench into my foretelling shenanigans. I thought about what two non-lord characters you have yet to recruit that could fit niches in your group (no Anima magic wielder, already one bow user, etc.), and I actually found a duo that would lead to everyone having both an A and B support. But if Eirika (and probably Ephraim) would only be there due to the plot forcing them upon you, and if you might not have every unit supporting two other units, then I have absolutely no way of knowing who you'll recruit until they're announced. Oh, how I feel like a young child at Christmas, brimming with anticipation and eagerly waiting to see what surprises will be unveiled in the days to come!
...I'm sorry if that last sentence was a bit too dramatic for a simple liveblog. Anyways, best of luck in the Ephraim battle!

Heh, no problem. Everyone will be supporting with someone, but they might not get a full 5 conversations, though everyone will get an A rank with someone, if I remember my setup correctly. As for Ephraim, I will only be giving him a passing mention, since none of his people are in the party. The next entry will be focusing mainly on Eirika's next chapter.
