Fire Emblem Fates Discussion

That feel when I didn't know I shouldn't recruit your children until after clearing Chapter 18, otherwise they won't have offspring seals... -_-; Now my Kana and Percy are stuck at level 10 and are gathering dust in my roster. I guess I'll do that on my Revelations run instead.

Also, here's my MyCastle code:
17289-58490
08853-00853
Just sieze the throne easily; almost all my units have the Aptitude skill for you to purchase (as well as many other goodies!). Give me a visit sometime!

Wells seeing as someone else posted their MyCastle code, I will post the one for mine (which is named Rapture 4)

14441-67772

Before today, I have not played since Sunday

Good news, guys: https://nintendoeverything.com/fire...erica-series-fastest-selling-game-in-the-u-s/

Despite the controversy regarding the game's localization, it was still able to sell higher than expected here. Ugh, at this rate, the special edition would already be sold out by the time I save up $80.

In playing Birthright, just realized that you can marry your Hoshidan Sisters. As much as I'm half tempted to do so (Jotaro x Hinoka seems legit, or is it?) even I don't go as far as winsest here (2EDGY). Then again, if referencing ancient Egypt, which Hoshido is definitely not based on, brothers and sisters marrying each other wasn't really creepy for them. Royal Inbreeding anyone? Nah who am I kidding, knowing Wintendo, there are obvious implications why its possible to marry them without feeling really horrible to yourself. A friend of mine already got so far into the game and even told me why it was possible. Darn him for his ridiculous progress.

So after fighting so many battles on both the chapters, the challenges, and whatnot, my avatar can now have his S Support with Felicia. I'm half tempted in doing so, since the whole "Royalty x Loyal Maid aka so 2Taboo4Law" is a lovely pairing almost all the time but I'm still holding off. Still figuring out which would be the best couples for the "strongest possible" kids.

I'm also half tempted to have someone marry Mozu for that Aptitude powered child. Everyone remember Aptitude Nah from awakening with dem beefy stats?

 

[Arc]

Revelations:

Silas Primary Class: Cavalier. Secondary Class: Mercenary
Hinoka Primary Class: Pegasus Knight. Secondary Class: Lance Fighter

Xander Primary Class: Cavalier(Paladin), Secondary Class: Wyvern Rider
Hinoka Primary Class: Pegasus Knight. Secondary Class: Lance Fighter

Hinoka gets around.

 

[Netto Azure]

Hinoka gets around.

Whoops thanks for pointing that out. It happens when you do it in the middle of the night lol

It's supposed to be:

Silas Primary Class: Cavalier. Secondary Class: Mercenary
Selena Primary Class: Mercenary, Secondary Class: Pegasus Knight

Also Corrin x Servant is apparently really good?

 

[Arc]

Also Corrin x Servant is apparently really good?

Yeah, definitely one of the better pairings that emphasizes Corrin as a lead unit. More specifically, FemCorrin x Jakob. Evasive Partner is a great skill to help out with your bulk. And, Jakob's two reclass option in Paladin (STR +2, DEF +2, RES +2, and MOV +1) and Great Knight (STR +2, DEF +4, and MOV +1), give fantastic Guard Stance bonuses. Having a fast support is pretty cool as well. Although...

Spoiler: Paralogues

Your children kinda suck. Dwyer is sort of happy with Corrin as a mom as Nohr Prince is a decent class, but Kana definitely wants a better dad than Jakob. If you want to salvage them, Friendship Seals is a must.

MaCorrin x Felicia is good too. Devoted Partner helps both your bulk and damage out. But, she's more magic based and it's much easier to build as a physical unit. Felicia can be reclassed to Hero, but the difference from Maid (MAG +2, SPD +3, and LCK +3) to Hero (SKL +3, SPD +3, and DEF +2) in Guard Stance, isn't very significant aside from the defence increase. Bow Knight is another option, it's near identical to Hero, but it'll give MOV +1 instead of DEF +2. Overall, you can't really go wrong with Felicia, just that there are better options to buff up Corrin and other suitors might want Felicia more.

 

[Magistrum]

Here's the pairings I did with my Nohr run:

Spoiler:

Yeah, suck it Jakob.

This is the typical Nohrian Male MC dilemma where you won't get all the children unless you pair off with Flora or any of the female children. Not getting Dwyer is alright for me, but missing one paralogue kinda sucks.

 

[thedestinedblade]

How exactly do you capture enemy characters in this game? That was a big part of Thracia's gameplay (since you could take anything they had) but is it here just to get you a couple extra playable units?

 

[Arc]

I wish you can take the enemies' equipment. Some extra Killing Edges and Levin Swords would have been nice. You'll need a Prison House built and Orochi/Niles must deal a killing blow when using the 'Capture' command. Afterwards, you can try to persuade them to join you, which is pretty much RNG depending on the character manning the prison. Or, you could just straight up pay them with resources. So, yes. Its only purpose is to recruit generic mooks.

A far cry from Thracia's system. But, at least it's amusing to capture some of the bosses.

 

[JJ Styles]

I was actually dumbfounded about the Capture and Prisoner system during my first few hours. I thought that you could capture certain enemy characters as the way of getting them into your army.

Spoiler:

And how i wished it could have been that way, so i could capture Selena aka definitely-NOT-Severa for my team days ago.

Oh and it seems that pairing Silas with Mozu is the "meta" for that potentially OP child. Considering Silas' ridiculous stats, it kinda makes sense now.

I feel dumbfounded that I'm already past Chapter 18 in BR and I still haven't been busy forming those delicious bonds, though most of my army already has A-ranked supports with each other. My unit "Jotaro" and Felicia are already asking for that marriage proposal but I'm still busy checking who might be better choices unit-wise. As much as I absolutely love the Prince x Maid pairing, I don't want to simply comply with dem fetishes just yet. D:

 

[Nah]

I almost forgot about this thread woops. I got Conquest a few days ago and am at Chapter 6, so it's time to make my "choice". Tomorrow anyway, fuck you work

The only thing I don't like so far is how Nohr is 'evil'. I was hoping Nohr vs Hoshido wouldn't be so black vs white.

Yeah that's kind of the problem I have with the story (the little I've see of it lol) so far. I was hoping that going into this that things wouldn't be so black and white. Making things like that is kinda boring. I was well aware during the pre-release that Nohr was supposed to be the "bad" side, but that doesn't necessarily mean that things have to be black and white. I mean maybe it won't be that way as the story progresses (as Kameken seems to be saying), but I'd rather they have done it from the get-go really. Make me legitimately question my decision to go Nohr, but make me not exactly want to go Hoshido either. Make me hesitate to select my (only lol) option.

But I made my decision long ago, and Nintendo if you thought that making the side I chose stereotypically evil would make me question my choice at all, you got another thing comin'.

 

[Netto Azure]

I wouldn't say that Nohr is bad. It's just that the king is pretty...old school. (IDK been reading way too many fantasy stories lol) Heck the whole story for Nohr was reforming through the inside iirc.

Then again Revelations pretty much shows how both sides...

 

[Garison]

You have to build a prison in my castle, and in a battle, use the capture option with Niles or Orochi.

 

[JJ Styles]

Spoilers btw. Just for the chicks and bros who aren't playing yet (i doubt it though but still)

Spoiler:

So i couldn't resist it and decided to just went with MaleMU and Felicia is the primary pair in my BR playthrough, which depending on other circumstances will continue towards Revelations. I'm not sure what reclass option does Felicia have that are workable other than going strategist (bye Knives and Shurikens) especially for the skills to pass for the child Kana. Good thing i keep a backup if i have to start over from the chapters before marriage.

Also, worked around with Silas and Mozu for the pair and I'm pretty pleased with the result. Sophie came out really well and that aptitude is working out nicely, though i forgot that this skill was nerfed from awakening. Maybe i should have passed underdog instead, which was so useful in training Mozu. I'm also pleased that the female children now get to keep their mom's hair color now. Sophie with her mom's hair color (Mozu's) looks really fitting.

Somehow, I finally got the acquired taste for the shoddy english voice acting for this game. For some reason, Hinoka's raspy english voice got to me.

Spoiler:

BR Felicia is slightly worse because she can't access Flora's Dark Mage subclass in that route. So yeah you're stuck with Strategist, unless for some reason your MU has Dark Mage subclass.

You could just buy skills from other MyCastles for your Kana anyway so it doesn't really matter what skill Felicia passes on.

 

[Sir Codin]

Got Birthright a couple days ago, getting Conquest after I return to the US from Europe and once it becomes available, I've got money stashed away for Revelations as well.

So far, the prologue chapters seem kind of abrupt. Case-in-point: Corrin freaking out over his/her mother's death and transforming into that dragon. I think in the few scenes or chapter prior, Corrin admits to finding it hard to think of her as a mother due to being raised in Nohr for hellIfIknow how long and then once she gets axed, Corrin suddenly freaking out and transforming felt a bit jarring to me.

Otherwise, though, I like what I'm seeing so far. Chapter 5 was hard as balls in Hard-mode (I shutter to think about Lunatic, I might have actually been tempted to throw my 3DS at a wall), yet I also liked how it required actual tactics to get through rather than just bull-rushing enemies like I did in Hard-mode on Awakening almost the whole game. I must admit, some of the localization changes were for the best, especially in the case of Elise and Sakura being declared older with older-sounding VAs, which helps make pairing them with someone a little less weird. The InviteFeature change ended up using a good compromise, and I certainly like the revamped Pair-Up mechanics (especially because of how OP-as-fuck it was in Awakening) and how enemies now use it.

 

[machomuu]

Dammit, Best Buy didn't have Birthright. I mean, I wanted Conquest more, anyway, but starting from easy modo and going up is a lot less jarring than going down in difficulty. I do have to wonder if there's any benefit to me buying Birthright digitally other than it being cheaper, 'cause otherwise I'm gonna stick to the plan and buy Birthright physically a few months down the road.

Or I might just treat it like an actual choice and not play BR or Rev, but they didn't really make that choice all too attractive or rewarding. Understandably.

 

[Keiran]

Maybe a spoiler about Ryoumas son?

Spoiler:

So I didn't know you had to talk to Shiro to recruit him in his Paralogue. He died in the first turn, so I couldn't do so anyway. Well, the dialogue after the chapter implied that he was joining the party and I saved the game. But he doesn't join the party if he dies. So now I can't get him at all. :(((( So yeah, make sure you talk to Shiro asap if you want him.

:((
