Fire Emblem

They look the same to me. I think you posted the wrong link.

Looks fine to me. I think you might've failed a spot check.

I can't decide who I want to S-Support. At first I thought it was possible to have multiple S-ranks but apparently it isn't the case.

On the one hand, I wanted to make Oni Blacksmith Corrin buff-buddy with Rinkah. My heart of hearts want this pairing the most to have this monstrous duo of savages beefcakes.

On the other hand, Orichi entered the stage and, as a Diviner with magic damage, her affinity with Corrin's Resistance seal would be out of this world. She also has some very nice.... support lines, I thought it was nice to hear about Corrin's mom.

Ack, how can I be expected to make such decisions.

Make two saves: one with Rinkah, one with Orochi. Problem solved!

Soo, in regards to how the TCG has "What if?"-stuff as well as stuff that is mentioned but never shown...

Does that partially make the TCG the Fire Emblem equivalent of the Mobile Suit Variations/MSV from the Gundam series?

My only knowledge of Gundam comes from G being on a bunch when I was a kid, so I have no way to answer that question.

Such a shame you have to do that, after the whole polygamy thing worked out so well with Garon.

Made it to chapter 13, the cracks in the writing is starting to show. A lot of coincidences that are oddly beneficial to the plot and a new follower with the weakest reason to join us (Kaden).

Also, I have never trusted Zola, so the events of chapter 12 were a huge non-surprise. The encounter with Xander could've been a huge tragedy that would've made me save-scum... If it wasn't for the fact that I bought an Einharjar from a player I streetpass'd, whose Corrin was a cutie that also was monstrously strong! Ha HAH, the chauvinist-swine's move wins again!

I have settled for Orochi as Corrin's partner. Family relationship is my Achilles heel when it comes to cheesy stories like that, so I caved in after hearing her support lines. Rinkah felt a bit more contrived but it didn't sound too bad for me.

I seem to have noticed I have a lot of S-support possibilities, I'm not sure if I can get everyone to bond together within the main story so I might do more challenges. So far, nothing is concrete, but I might make Kagero a furry with Kaden for no good reasons.

So far I have used Master Seal thrice: Corrin to make him a blacksmith, Orichi to make her a Onmyoji and Rinkah to make her a Oni Chieftain. I wasn't sold on that last one until I saw the huge bottle of booze on her back. I feel as though these units are leveling a lot slower though, I'm not sure if it's just me.

Careful with the purchased units. They can easily trivialize the entire game.

It's fully possible to build everyone's S supports within the main game, consequential paralogues and the Invasions, though you'd have to be comfortable basically deploying under-leveled units that rotate every few maps in order to maximize support point gain.

It's not just you- the minimum exp dropped from 7 to 2 (i think) meaning you can't power level your best units to ridiculous amounts like you could in Awakening.

not to mention the curve itself as a whole being lowerered.

it's to encourage more exp sharing, since that middling 2 exp would be much higher and much better spent on another weaker unit.

Awakening has a floor of 8. Fates can actually go to 0 if you're way over-leveled (it's either 5 or 6 levels above the enemy). Fates's system does try to encourage using more units, but then stuff like Corrin still having a +EXP% skill and Paladin!Jakob happen and, well... yeah... Also, the sibling pre-promos coming in really strong and having no serious downsides (aside from the usual level-up-RNG shenanigans, but that's technically even worse for growth units).

What they probably need to do for the next game is keep the fall-off at the upper end, but severely boost EXP gained for being equal or lower level than the enemy. Or greatly change their map and unit design (more growths for growth units would be nice—Mozu was a big step in the right direction compared to Donnel, but there was really no reason to nerf Aptitude when it was pretty mediocre in Awakening). Otherwise, the system's still going to encourage juggernauts..

I've started playing Fire Emblem Fates again as well. I stopped for a while due to being occupied by games like Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon, Yo-Kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters, and replaying Hitman (2016) since elusive targets are making appearances again, but I went back after Streetpassing about 20+ people.

I should probably advance the story to get more units, but first I need to clear out the Streetpass units. Damn, seeing about ten of them pop up at once was pretty neat.

That must be a weird experience. Just, like, eleven Corrins standing in a square being all, "Hi, me."

Could be quite the experience seeing how you ended up looking in alternate universes.

Still, good thing about some of those Streetpasses is that some of the players have Level 3 Staff and Rod shops. That way I can get more Seals, since I haven't advanced up to the point where I can upgrade my own Staff and Rod shops to max level.

If there is a remake of the Elibe games, I really want to see the Saint's Tower in 3D!

Things I look forward to in an Elibe remake:

• Ereshkigal animated
• Eckesachs animated
• Hearing Canas voiced

Voiced Canas would send shivers down my spine.

I also would really like to see Canas's wife as a playable unit.

If we really are getting an FE 6 remake, then I hope to see how they would adapt Ilia. That was pretty much my favorite locale in FE 6, and it was a bit of a bummer you didn't get to go there in FE 7. I'm also hoping for more Roy supports, I found it a bit of a wasted opportunity that he didn't have any supports with either Elffin or Cath when he does have quite a bit of banter with them in the main story.

The world is barely explored in FE 7, as they expect players to go through FE 6 first. Unfortunately FE 6 is not released outside of Japan.

I finally got myself a Nintendo Switch, so I've started playing Fire Emblem Warriors.

Ooh. Have fun!

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but how do you do Lissa's "bury an axe into some unfortunate schmuck and use them like a hammer" move? I beat Frederick using Lissa, but didn't manage to turn him into the Frederick Hammer.

I believe that's her Strong V, or YYYYX. If you've only beaten Fred, chances are you also don't actually have it unlocked for your normal move set, which would be why you couldn't do it on him. That is, you have to buy crests to unlock moves under normal circumstances, but if you are in Awakening Mode, you have full access to your entire skill set as though it were already purchased.

Got it. Thanks.

Soo.... I just finished playing the Binding Blade!

While it feelt a little... "Unpolished" I guess? In comparison to the other GBA games, it was still pretty cool to see Roy's journey from beginning to end.

I also heard that many consider the battle against Idunn somewhat anticlimactic.

However, I played this song during in the fight and it made it much better!
