what are the actual chances fortune weave is nominated for GOTY?
>>748960852no one cares about nigger's weave outside of tendies so i'd say low to 0
>>748960852Now that Wolverine flopped and Ocarina of Time probably won't since its one-to-one, the chances are pretty good
>>748961056nice. 90 hours in and this is definitely the experience of the year for me
>>748961214* care. teehee
>>748960852Ocarina will probably take its place and TGA will choose some indie slop instead of FE or something. Critics in general only likes shit games or fromsoft, they DETEST Japanese styled games
Idk about GotY but it's probably a lock for Best RPG and Best Strategy, its only competition in the latter is Zero Company which could also win imo. Best Soundtrack nom feels likely. At more of a stretch I think Fabio could get a best performance nom too or at least a shoutout like Dimitri got in 2019.
>>748960852Decent. Unrelated reminder that Engage lost to Pikmin for best strategy.
>>748960852zero>>748963092>Critics in general only likes shit games or fromsoft, they DETEST Japanese styled gamesdei emblem has precisely zero japanese influence, thoroughly americanized game
>>748960852COnsidering it's first openly bad fire emblem game in almost 2 decades, I hope very low
it will get best rpg and that's it, GOTY is for western shit only.
>>748961056you forget nearly 1:1 resident evil remakes and elden ring dlc has been nominated for game of the year before
>>748960852Tranny both you and I know the slop for masses >GTA 6will get it
>>748968758GTA VI misses the cutoff date for TGA actually. Dorito Pope could always bend it but I could see him leaving it out of the noms. I doubt Rockstar really cares.
Three Houses won best strategy game back in 2019 so it's at least contending for that and has very little meaningful competition.It's also one of the highest rated games of the year in general.The question you should be asking is, will Nintendo want to push a smaller franchise(Fire Emblem) for a high profile category vs a bigger hit like Pokopia or the Ocarina of Time remake.
>>748969762Not including GTA6 at the game awards would be the biggest fucking publicity stunt since awarding GOTY to GoW over RDR2
>>748960852
>>748970226what a fucking slut...
>>748970226>>748970493Goooooood imagine if my wife Hilda got a cameo in this game. She would be sooooo happy with so many brown friends!
DUDE FOOD
The Mysterious Bride...
>>748960852Inferior genetic hair
>>7489608520 however it is the best game of the year.
>>748960852It would've if not for OoT.>>748961056It's as much of 1:1 remake as RE4R
>Japs are embracing /ss/emblemholy based
>>748966225>first openly bad fire emblem game in almost 2 decadesWhat are you talking about? Everything with the Fire Emblem name on it released from 2012-2022 was total dogshit.
>>748960852Low
>>748960852The real question is when people will acknowledge that FE is better than Starcraft and Total War ever were.
>>748960852I think kind of slim, then again Xenoblade 3 got the Keighley nomination (and Fortune's Weave is better IMO). At the least I hope it gets nominated, if not just to hear the main theme performed live
Who was your favorite glup shitto unit in FW? Mine was Dadao.
FW was designed with journos in mind. It would be pathetic if it doesn't win the GOyslop awards
>>748965738it doesnt have gay sex like Kingdom Come, so its still not western enough
>>748960852lol
>>748960852This is literally engage but way easier due to no maddening and way meatier and with a way way way better story.There would be nothing wrong with it being goty since we haven’t gotten a single good rpg in 3 years let alone srpg, literally only intsys makes srpgs these days
>>748973770Cleobulus needs to be bigger.
Is this the designated FE thread since others keep getting deleted?>>748973575What are you rating, their designs?
goty only ever has whatever big nintendo game came out that year as a nominee, ocarina slopfest is gonna be nominated over it
>>748973836>This is literally engagejust without any of the well designed mapsor the tight gameplay balanceor the purposeful game mechanics
>>748973894If it was their designs Kiroc would be at the top.
>>748973863I don't like browns or tattoos, but ohhhh lawwddd
>>7489608520
>>748965494She is watching me fap
>>748973963>just without any of the well designed mapsYou didn’t play the FUCKING game my guy. Enemy density and map design are two different things and since the game is stuck in this weird hard mode thats harder than engage hard but easier than engage maddening we are not gonna see the enemy density you would want out Of a maddening tier difficultyThe map design is fantastic with tons of maps that have different objectives and gimmicks that aren’t annoying
>>748973963>just without any of the well designed mapsIt has that>or the tight gameplay balanceNo maddening mode so makes sense you will feel stronger than the enemy>or the purposeful game mechanicsIt absolutely has this, cursed treasures on the 8 main lords are basically engage emblems and engage had nothing NEARLY as fun to use as Leda or Talimun.
I don't think it's gonna win any overall GOTYs (not counting stuff like best strategy etc) but it will be on several lists
Because urinalists are the main factor in games being nominated and winning awards (your vote barely matters), theres a good chance this visual novel disguised as a fire emblem game gets into the nominees
>>748974458This. PRIDE.com won't vote for it.
>>748974363>map design is when you take the same square box and move around some obstacles so that it plays slightly differentFW has the exact same problem with reused maps btw. The only difference is they were a little more clever in hiding it. Outside of a few of the gimmick maps like the ones where you can respawn after dying, the maps are mostly just routfests where you advance into the edge of an enemy's range, bait him out, kill him with the rest of your party, and then rinse and repeat until you get to the boss. There's very little interesting side objectives. There's very little pressure not to turtle.>>748974443>cursed treasures on the 8 main lords are basically engage emblemscursed treasures are emblem-lites and aren't nearly as essential to mastering as emblems are in engage. On top of that you have a billion different combat arts where there are 3 useful ones and also battalions which feel like a complete afterthought. Blaze arts are inifinitely spammable with only a minor penalty to your health. Are you telling me setting up Corrin's torrential roar to freeze a whole group of enemies is supposed to be more strategic than Theodora throwing a rock at someone every turn?
>>748973503Yes
>>748960852120%
>>748960852Depends on how much Nintendo feels like paying to shill it?
>>748960852It will get nominations but not get the win over things like GTAVI and OoT. Game is a solid 8.5/10 for me, so better than 3H and engage but not as good as PoR.
>>7489608520%. Its a weebs dream game, and the size makes me think lots of children will love it for ever like the much inferior TotK, FFT Advance, Banjo Tooie. Your average normie though? They all bitched Elden Ring was too long.
>>748973963>Engage >Well balancedThe entire game after you regain Micaiah is trivial besides ch 22. It is not well balanced
>>748966225Fake ass fan, Gaiden is a treasure.
>>748973503every older woman wants to fuck Cai
>>748960852It will receive a nomination for sure, but it won’t win
>>748973575Mus Mom and the monk have died in every one of my runs. I also never got the pink haired negroHow is dhe? once.
>>748971691I'm not sure brown is the color she's going for with that top.
>>748973770The older fag angle bugged me too but I give it a pass as it all came together in the end. And the guy casually discusses Kant.
>>748960852It doesn’t matter gta6 is getting all of the shill votes.
>>748971691
>>748975731NTR Smile
>>7489608523h won the "Player's Voice" category in 2019 which is basically just a category that's directly voted on by viewers instead of being voted on by judges. Despite this it didn't even get nominated for the normal goty category. The category has since been ruined because phone games are allowed and they promise players free shit if they win.I think FW will definitely get nominated because it's pretty much THE Nintendo game of the year (I guess there's also Pokopia?). OoT remake will get nominated too probably but remakes are never serious contenders.The only scenario it wins is basically if reviewers don't feel comfortable voting GTA because the game comes out like 3 days before the deadline for judges to decide. Im assuming there's also some slew of "cinematic" games that are next in line in that scenario I haven't really been paying attention to what's going on in the normie gaming space this year.
>>748975176Try playing maddening tranny
>mangs went crawling back to FW after he realized that Dietrich route is the trap route and anybody who played it first actually played the game incorrectly
>>748975976You can do this on Maddening too. You can bring a 4 man team of Byleth, Corrin, Sedall and a boss killer and that takes care of all the bosses, even pairs like Zephia and Griss
>>748976247>make the route everyone does first the one that gimps you the hardest when you choose it before the others>make the least chosen route the one you're supposed to go with firstHeh...
>>748973575Guzran is not better than Cai. He's like top of the physical recruits but I wouldn't even say he's meaningfully better than Noctula.
>>748974856You literally just called everything “dogshit” without explaining or giving actual examples. You never meant to argue honestly
>>748973963FW has better, more balanced gameplay than Engage. Many are coming around on this truth.
>>748974856It's a terrible idea to spam blaze arts. I wish people who criticize it would actually play the game.
>>748976645Sure, the fags that attached themselves to this series with 3H for the social sim and played on Normal/Casual are totally qualified to talk about and compare the gameplay with a game they didn't play.
>>748976374I wonder what percentage of people picked each route first. I imagine Dietrich is the most popular, then Cai, Leda, and Theodora in last.
>>748976374>Play Theodora‘s route first and enjoy boat superiority
>>748976832I played Engage for 500 hours. I've played every game in the series. FW has better balance than Speedtaker Emblem.
>>748976247does it gimp you at all? you can't use the stable outside of cai's route in part 1 no matter what so your cavs are always cucked
>>748976942You're gimped in the sense that you have to do all the side quests on top of Dietrich's renown farming and exploring the map. It's a slog compared to starting with Leda or Cai.
>>748960852Japanimation sucks, when can it stop being in anything ever>Abloobloo muh westoid influence removed the pedoshit from muh tranimewhen can it replace tranimeslop with realism, hell calarts beanmouths are better than tranime
>>748976929>says "many are">"I played...""Many" must have been for your different mental illnesses
Last thread we were talking about Guest units for Part 2. The way it works is it starts from Chapter 2 in that arc. You can test it out by purposely deploying less than full.There's 12 units it'll choose after the battle starts in this order: Bonaventure, Tobias, Gaitz, Jester, Goliath, Lysander, Lilian, Dante, [Bardinger], [Shido], [Dreadnought], [Ovate]If you have the named unit recruited, they won't deploy, so Theodora's backups only fill 8 slots in that context. I tested hers out and she doesn't get an extra 4 to fill in.
>>748977052I guess but those chores aren't going to do yourself no matter what. I did have an easier time grinding animals on cai's witrhout doing so many subquests, and I'm currently doing leda's last and I got literally nothing to do by july.I do find it funny that Dietrich despite being the edgelord ends up being the friendliest of all lords with all the paralogues and side quests he ends up doing.
>It's not better than the last 3 fire emblem games which also didn't win goty
>>748977174Sure, a lot of people are turning around on the gameplay now that they've got their teeth deeper into it. I've seen praises for its mechanics. I'm just happy the gay ass broken shit is mostly gone. Blessings aside but nothing's perfect.
>>748977279Why lie to yourself like that? It is without a doubt better.
>>748977293>a lotA lot where?
>>748977459/feg/ is where people are talking about the game
>>748974503I wish journalists and wokegods still hated tranime, it was more likely to be banned as the slop it is when only incel nazis liked it. anita sarkesian please come back and get tranimeslop banned worldwide by the UN
>>748973575>Sirocco above OlympiaIn what world.
>>748976247Skill issue, it was my first route on Hard/Classic, I was able to do all the Paralogues, sidequests, overrecruited, and STILL got through Part 2 without even realizing I could've made it easier myself using the guest units lol: >>748977218It's the best route because his is the only one where you can save every other Lord to have them alive for Part 2/3 without having to do others.Speaking of Paralogues, finally made the final adjustment to this chart. Should be accurate now.
>>74897752990% of the people there are shitting on it and not a lot of actualpraise towards the gameplay either. So, again, where?
>>748977456Its no 3 houses
>>748973886I'm pretty sure Dieterich actually has a line that's just a line Zenos had word for word.
>>748977608Nobody is shitting on the gameplay there lol. They cry about it being DEI, cuck this cuck that, but people who have actually played the game to Part 2 and 3 express admiration of it.
>>748977706Nearly half the thread is saying Engage(bad) is a better game than FW
>>748977792Oh yeah? Where?
>>748976798retard, the optimal strat is to literally spam blaze arts at the beginning of the battle so you can fill up your blaze gauge early and get all those stat buffs.>I wish people who criticize it would actually play the game.I agree, it's obnoxious arguing with retards like you who are confidently wrong about the most basic shit
>>748976541I don't know how much more in depth I can go with my criticism. It's not my fault you can't read
>>748977947That's not spamming, nigger. You do it twice to go into overblaze and you stay in it. Are you really trying to convince me Theodora should be chucking boulders every turn until she destroys her HP instead of doing anything more important? Play the game, faggot.
>>748977823Right next door on /vg/. Doesn't seem to be a lot of FW gameplay discussion despite the game being "massive". A massive chore.
More importantly, what if FE3H lolis wore glasses?
>>748977547Warp and is an actually fast mage.
>>748978021I scrolled a few posts from where I left the thread at and you can see a faggot seething about the fact anons DO like Part 2 maps>>>/vg/583257294There's a lot of contrarianism but, yes, plenty of people are liking the maps and it's ridiculous to downplay this.
>>748978018>umm ackshualy you're not supposed to be spamming it>t-that's what I meant, you're supposed to spam it early and then stop spamming it!it takes more than 2 turns to reach overblaze btw. You would know this but you don't actually play the game
>>748978024kys tranimepedo unbelievable this slop has 50 games while lbp was canceled and shut down with less than 5, send weebs to reeducation camp the tranime artstyle needs to be wiped out already
>>748978148The other 90% of the thread is waifu wars and people saying FW doesn't have any good waifus and the few good waifus deserve a better game. Noone is praising it
>>748968061I'm still mad that fucking remakes and dlc got nominated even if they didn't win, first, a dlc isn't a game and should never be nominated to anything besides best dlc, second, a remake usually is living off the good rep from the original game, not making a name of their own, if the original game won goty and the remake is the same + QoL shit, then by default will have greater possibility of winning and stripping it off a real, new game, they should make a best remake and remaster award and leave out them off other awards.
>>748978186You are such a confidently wrong dumbass, this is exactly the type of shit I'm talking about.Every lord unlocks an upgraded blaze art at level 20 that adds 3 curse to their meter. 6 curse (half) i what's needed to go into Overblaze. What's more, this upgraded art tends to be better and more damaging than the lower tier one, so there's no reason not to hit it twice and get into Overblaze sooner.Stupid fucking faggot stop talking.
>>748978186>it takes more than 2 turns to reach overblaze>cai can reach it in 2 turns by using blackfire>leda can reach it in one turn by using her blaze control ability>theodora can reach it in 2 turns by using earthen hurl>dietrich takes forever without using a cursed weapon but he doesn't need the extra stats
>>748978148That anon you're linking to is not doing you any favors in supporting your case.
>>748978148>>>/vg/583275060
>>748978358I admit a lot of nonplayers are still crying about it, but to deny that people are praising the maps is ridiculous. He didn't actually raise any objections against the design, he merely asked people who praise it to defense it against his nonsensical seethe.
>>748978186>it takes more than 2 turnsNo it fucking doesn't. You didn't even play the fucking game you're trying to defend.
>>748978509He's not defending it, he's seething at it. Seems like everyone who seethes at FW's balance issues is underinformed.
>its worse than echoesOH NO NO NO FWSISSIES!!!
>>748978507And yet there's no one attempting to defend it or posting images of them playing through that part to even validate any claim.
>>748978345so in other words, it takes more than 2 turns to reach overblaze until you get all the upgrades. Thank you for proving my point >>748978281except the game is so piss easy there's no reason to use the upgraded art in the first place for the vast majority of scenarios, in which case it's more economical to just spam the base blaze art so you don't run out of blaze meter sooner. Tell me when's the last time you actually needed earthen hurl to one shot an enemy over earthen throw.Btw, your original argument was that you shouldn't be spamming blaze arts in the first place. Now you're saying it's essential to spam blaze arts and arguing semantics over how many uses is considered spamming.>Stupid fucking faggot stop talking.
>>748978637I've defended and praised Part 2 maps multiple times. I wasn't home when it was posted. Why is it anyone's obligation to explain why a map is good?Engagefags do not actually go around talking about WHY they like the maps, let's be real. They just assert the maps are enjoyable and expect you to take it on faith. Which is usually enough.
>>748978712You are a profound dullard.
>>748978801I accept your concession, tranny
What‘s up with the enemies in Theodora‘s map being giga weak?
>>748978858Which map? If you're talking about her paralogue they probably toned things down because of the fog of war.
>>748978936I forgot to elaborate, her final map in part 12. Most enemies are unable to scratch any of your units.
>>748978734Midway through one of my turns looked like this. I was able to defuse it without any blessings or deaths by thinking it through. To me this is a sign of at least a challenging map, if you have to do this.
>>748960852It panders to modern Western sensibilities so pretty high.
>>748979070>mainly girls fielded>woah i had a hard timeYeah when you ignore half the roster because of your dick you're going to have a hard time
I'm having, unironically, a blast. Started with Theodora and liked it. Now I'm doing Dietrich, Fabio is one of the best characters in the entire series, I wish he was standalone Flame Lord too.
>>748979283Fabio basically is the lord of his route. Dietrich is just there as comedic relief
You are asking that in the year of GTA?the jornasöys will vote for it like locusts, afraid of being blacklisted even though Rockstar doesn't care.
>>748979204>Cai, Guzran, Peter, Tialla, Halvin, Nydine, Ultand, Ninae3 males 5 femalesI'm not gay so I prefer hot babes but I actually wanted Goliath. He's too difficult to recruit on Cai's path.
>>748960852I'll be happy if either Fortune's Weave or OoT 2026 wins GOTY 2026.
>>748978734>"FW has good maps!">look inside >>748979070>it's literally just one of engage's worst maps from the dlc LMAO this is what FWiggers have to work with
>>748979480It does look like Fell Xenologue 2 but it's way better.
this game flopped.
>>748976374Cai's is the worst to do first even though it's the intended one to do first because you spend all the time doing quests instead of grinding the broken mounts you can only get on his route.
>check dyan's stats>tobias has enough strength to one shot him when using a combat art>game doesn't allow you to warp skipLAME
Putting Catania in axe classes was a fantastic idea. Girl is GOATED
>>748979923Brigand University graduate summa cum laude
>>748979887Every tile on this map is "warp not possible" lol. Which is how I learned positioning skills like Shove and Swap are considered a "warp." They really didn't want you cheesing it. Which is a shame because it's not interesting at all, it's just way too long more than anything.
>>748979763Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave did not flop.Fortune's Weave won.
>>748977792FW is everything. Its a massive mess filled with gold and shit. You can construct any argument you want out of its. Its terrible at times, just did a map with 8 elephants. Also amazing, the Deitech ending. Its truly 2026 Gaiden, warts and gems.
>>748980219The elephants are the best part though. They create so many interesting problems that you have to solve to cut through them quickly. Kind of feel like a Wary Fighter General in large form with a charge ability.
>>748980219The worst map is by far Leda's Paralogue. Lmao 29 bears that do 0 damage.
>>748979981You can cheese it with bolting, unfortunately I was a few points shy of being able to do it.Dante with 39 magic can one shot him while Smyrnos is active. The magic can be supplemented a bit with Theodora's attack formation and Sophia's rally. Had I gotten her enough xp to promote to ovate she probably would be able to do it bringing this map down to 2 turns.
>>748979981the game already has anti-warp mechanics with multiple health bars, not sure why they thought prevent warp in itself was also necessary. Regardless, the whole thing feels moot because of how fucking easy the map was. They give you 3 ballista reinforcements on top of Anatolia and Sha Lan but they were never used because you can just plow through the enemy on your own.
>>748980464After I posted this I realized the magic staff gives exactly 3 magic which would have been exactly enough. If there is a way to get one on her route that would make it a lot easier to meet the one shot threshold.
>>748980316and for some reason they prioritize destroying the balloons over everything else
>>748978734One thing I did like about this map is that you have to put 2 and 2 together that when the Elephants charge and destroy the barrier its going to let Lind rush you down.Its obviously a small thing but FE generally doesn't have a lot of weird little emergent interactions like that but I bet a lot of players got caught off guard by that and had to burn a rewind.
>>748980304I enjoyed the first 3. Was ok with the next 3, last two killed my King character out of bordom. I was more than done by the end.Agreed though, I love Roman history, thought they were badass but part 2 map 3 with the fires and elephants was awful.>>748980316Hexars, Just becuase you do it 20 times to fucking move a square, and they can kill you if you dont just water/juggernaut it.I stand by if you want to hate it its easy but 144 fucking hours and Ive loved 80% of it.
>>748980642I have 2 magic staffs on my Theodora run but I never unlocked Smyrnos 5. I'm almost tempted to do it to skip this map in the future. Then again I don't even know if I want to play Theodora's route again that much. All she has is battalions.
No dates?
>>748979480Fwiggers are just retarded and only play 3 houses. Kind of like how they think the older women being affectionate with Cai is some kind epic revolutionary thing when Ricken could marry and impregnate women in awakening without some decade long timeskip.
>>748960852Pretty decent, actually Ocarina of Time will definitely be there, same for Resident Evil RequiemGTA possibly won't make the cut because of the release dateCrimson Desert deserves a nomination, but won't get itAce Combat also should be there, but it has too much gameplay for journosThe other possible contenders are Control and 007
>>74898099410 dates!
>>748981090Nobody on God's green earth cares about Ricken, lil bro
>>748980994She fucks dietrich btw
>>748980994best character? best character
>>748960852why are there so many niggers in this one. i never even completed engage so whatever. series peaked with three houses
I like fire emblem as a general thing and find the infighting seems forced with multiple posters obviously having never played the games they make claims about.
>>748981162yooo he mup da doo didaa muh fugga on god he be a lil bro tho fr. I gon get five followers on xitter when I playin' FW dawg.
>You have 1 week to get ready for your matchAnna, what the fuck?
>levels luck, res and charm>"maybe i'll get a raise!"
>>748980836I've been doing a second run of all the lords on a fresh save to see what can be done for efficiency and also to use some units I didn't before. For example her fog of war map can be done in 2 turns with Kalla active to give enough move to get close to initiate combat with Nuzzuo, once he's aggroed he won't run away. This was also with primarily infantry units, if I had other people on an ornius it may be possible to turn that map into a 1 turn. Having a high blessing level does mean you'll need to do her route later, but I think the best order is Leda -> Cai -> Theodora -> Dietrich so by the time you reach her route you should have at least 2-3 gods maxed.Interestingly enough no one in Dyan's chamber has their AI active even after striking him, so potentially if you recruited Olympia and also got her to S reason you wouldn't even need to worry about hitting the right amount of magic and could just zap him to death. The problem with that is raising one unit to S in a magic type will eat away at most of your manuals, so getting 2 is probably not feasible in a single route. I thought maybe putting a unit in the corner where Dyan could hit by using his gambit would aggro him after striking but he won't budge.
>>748981359I want to stick it in her pooper.
>>748981359I wish the whole game was like this
>>748973575>Io>ServiceableImagine not understanding the mount system and not realizing he's overpowered.shiggy.
>>748981728Solel...
Why did they nerf Canter? Just makes Paired Run automatically superior.
>>748981804Im finding every route different. Him and the negro swordsman are carrying me in one, and are dead weight in another?
>Charioteer buff>Cai route mount buffYou did NOT by any stretch of the imagination beat the game.
>>748981848>Solel>wanting to fuck anyone but his wife even after she cucked him
>>748981949Class is broken but its so much fun.
>>748981893Canto is overpowered when it isn't limited
>>748981949*runs you over*
>>748981949It's just not that good
>>748960852Never heard of whatever that is so probably
>>748981949Io gets Rocinan's growths without being in Cai route, Brainlet.
>>748960852Hopefully 0, fire emblem has not looked any different than gacha slop to me for the last 4 games or so
>>748973575Nezha's stats on average are going to be pretty similar to Guzzler and Guzzler's personal skill isn't THAT much better where he goes on the same tier as Dietrich.
>>748981942Even if the growths are high, it's always a matter of luck (when you recruit them as well for FW).
>>748973575Move halvin to bad. She has never been good. Not once
>Leda and Bertrand don't even acknowledge each other in part 2 if you do her route
One thing that annoys me about how weapon durability works in this game is that there's basically never a reason to use actual spells in a hybrid class that has access to swords like the magic chicken because Levin Sword is almost always better.
shadow dragon is actually really fun when you dont have a bitch in your ear saying its ugly or barebones
>>748983028Magic is more of a utility thing in this game. If a unit gets bolting, thoron, or maybe excalibur depending on how you feel they're decent offensive mages. Otherwise you can always supplement a unit's spell list with the death scroll for a good offensive spell, and you get a dark spikes scroll, fimbulvetr and agnea's arrow scrolls in part 3 to use on units. The black magic class line at least has access to swords so they can use the levin sword as well.
>>748983028Mages are not combat carries in Gaiden-esque FE, which I think is one of the better results of having limited spell lists. Too often mages become these runaway mutant juggernaut monstrosities in games that refuse to check either their primary weapons or their durability.In this game if you want to jugg it up with magic, your only great option is the Levin Sword, which is heavy and most mages don't have the bulk or speed to support heavy usage of it.
>>748981942The growth RNG is seeded per route per unit so Io in route 1 might be blessed but trash in Route 2.
I am so fucking mad
>>748976247Whats wrong with his route? I played it first and it was very fun
How many people have done all routes I wonderI just finished Dietrich and all I'm gonna do is Theodora's for Bertrand's paralogue and then move on, fuck doing Cai and Leda
>>748984382>18 strength at 37Blessed above average Peppe
>>748984382he got a str growth, that's already a miracle
>>748984568mangs is a "muh story" fag despite him trying very hard not to be seen that way
>>748984382Brigid's strength ain't much, huh?
>>748984681 2 chapters away from finishing dietrich, my 4th route. I'm gonna blitz it in a hour or so after supper.
Gotoh. Athos. Giffca. Crimson Flower Thunderbrand. The latest entry to the long lineage of FUARKING HEROES who join in the endgame is… KLAPKA THE MAGNIFICENT.
>>748984681Well I did Dieters,Theos and Kais and that was enough for me I am doing part 3 without Leda. Which is fine because knowing myself. I am gonna replay this game anyway and all the sublords are already very op
>>748984681I was planning on it but I'm on my 3rd route and I don't know if I have it in me to go through part 1 again.
So is Dietrich's renown gain based on the region the skirmish is in or is it a flat 30 per skirmish?
>>748984946No idea what the devs were thinking with this one. I mean he has absurd dex and spd but whats the point of these if you can't damage anything. He can't use levin swords and he cant use physical swords so he can just do chip damage or be an incredible ineffective dodge tank. He would probably be OP if you could recruit him earlier but you know
>>748984942His story is fine. Yeah kinda disconnected from the overall one but it's a lot of fun. Fabios mole shenanigans, Dietrichs fish hunt and the final fight against a god were super entertaining. Really don't regret playing this as my first one.
literal tranny game
I don't get what the green shit on Lind's face is supposed to be
>>748981110007 will 100% make the nomination. The gameplay is serviceable for most, and its a movie game that fits the current zeitgeist. Everyone that tried PBO early says its amazing, so that might get a nomination too. Forza is also a contender, don't forget. They might reserve a spot for an indie as well, so it doesn't look like a paid exclusive AAA party.
Is your favorite a good unit?
>>748979480>one of engage's worst maps from the dlcit's a traditional bridge map, and they're kino
>>748982824they do, but it's swept aside because leda, dietrich and cai aren't allowed to do things.
Maddening should make enemy chariots & elephants work like their player controlled versions and also remove the invisible crit debuff on enemies
>>748982824Do act 2 without doing her Paralogue and she shows up as what she should have been. A crazy one-off villain of the day that fights you and dies.
>>748960852Pretty high. It will be the obligatory Nintendo game.
>>748987973The Guzler is e/v/eryones favorite unit.
>>748988348>Fans have been requesting a higher difficulty mode for Fire Emblem: Fortunes Weave. After giving it some careful thought I drew inspiration from my favorite game in the series, Fire Emblem: Gaiden. Every map is now a swamp map and there are witches that can teleport before attacking. We also decided to give bosses cantor reinforcements.
>>748984942Didn't he skip all the other part 1 stories? The story doesn't really get good after going through them all, but you wouldn't know that until you experience them.
>>748985261Him and Centurio are so blatantly final second additions, Klapka can't use the arena for some reason, and Centurio doesn't even have a final battle line lol.
>>748988812He rushed through act 3 with just one route so he could shit out a review before anyone else
As batshit as she is I appreciate that she doesn’t give a fuck that Bertrand was just following orders/forced into killing her dad
Fates was the last Fire Emblem.
>>748988710At last, true FE.I still dont get how people dislike gaiden
>>748989338Really? You don't get it? I can understand having niche taste and enjoying but how could you not understand what people wouldn't like about it?
>>748980219This is my honest take on the game. One second, I'm loving it, the next, it's putting me to sleep or driving me mad. I don't mind a game of such extremes, but people being upset about it are completely justified.
>>748977792And they'd be correct
>>748983028The Levin Sword is great, but it has kinda low hit. You can only use the combat art 4 times before repair is needed, and I found I did not get many of the repair stones for it on my first part 1. If the damage doesn't matter, I'll use Wind/Fire over the LS for better accuracy. Salamanders are also good for enemy phasing because of the avoid.
>>7489846812 more chapters until I'm through Leda's route and then I just have to finish Theodora's route. So far out of the protagonists I definitely dislike Leda the most, I find her entertaining the same way I find Dietrich entertaining in that she's a batshit insane nut except Dietrich being a weirdo is supposed to be funny and Leda being an annoying asshole is supposed to be serious.
>>748973575Not my boi Peppe
>>748984942Dietrich's story is fun incarnate, though. Arguably not super deep or mature or what-have-you, but as the personal story of Fabio and his mancrush, it is quite compelling. I still need to get there, but it seems like the game falls apart once the stories start to converge, if anything.
>>748980219>Also amazing, the Deitech endingWill admit, Cycle of the Sun playing while Dietrich solos a god was pretty electrifying despite being really easy. One thing I love about the matches in this game is the crowd roaring when you beat someone, it makes those maps more exciting on your first route.
>>748990928>Mars hyped up constantly as the strongest thing since sliced bread>as strong as a random encounter crest beast from 3HHe should've had 2 range in human form. At least he's a bro.
>>748990448Leda has a very generic revenge plot including the whole>Forgive your father's killer who's actually a really good guy and vital to saving the worldHer route is carried by her companions, same as Dietrich's.
>>748991229She doesn't really forgive Bertrand and explicitly says that she probably never will. She merely understand that at the end of the day he was just another pawn and the true people behind it were others.The chapter before the fight, where she's forces to kill her zombie dad and find out that her surrogate father was not only responsible but sent her on what was basically a clean up job disguised as revenge, before sacrificing himself to save her, really shook her to the core.
>>748990448>I just have to finish Theodora's routeI hope you enjoy it anon, I just finished it. I loved her crew so much, and it was great seeing her cute side all the time.
>>748984681took me 110 hours to finish all 4 part 1sI'm like 3 chapters deep in part 3 and at over 140 hours and I did part 2 cai and dietrich
>>748973854>Tranny killed a massive tittied Saint, stole her body and slandered her beyond repairTotal troon death
>>748979283same order as me
>>748990448I'm late into Leda's right now and by god it's so funny how retarded she comes across as. Especially if you do the Sirocco quest where you're finding out info on Mahdel.And even from the beginning...>What do you mean Arago had something to do with Arago's invasion and capturing of Cydonia?!?!?!
>>748979763in what world? it is selling at the same pace as three houses if not more pending digital numbers and the game is $20 more expensive; this is possible is highest grossing game yet
>>748992105Can you or anyone who has done multiple routes and the later parts attest to whether merging is actually a useful feature or not? I made up a list of units I want to recruit on the remaining routes, and I didn't allow much overlap, but is it worth trying to use merge to beef someone up or is it too costly or something?
The one thing I want a theoretical Maddening mode to do with FW is decrease the number of turns you get between chapters. Instead of a day comprising 4 turns (morning, midday, evening, night) they could just represent 2 turns (morning, night). Main issue would be how certain events are limited by time of day, though.
>>748980994dates on part 3, not 1, few ppl reached it so far, game is massive
>>748979480Kek, yet another Enagge win
>>748992234She knows they had something to do, the thing is that she thought it was just a couple of ambitious nobles and lackeys going for a power grab, the conspiracy ends up going mich deeper than she expected.
>>748992234The Mahdel list was just a couple of low ranking nobles and scapegoats. Leda's route reveals that it's actually a conspiracy involving the top brass including Solel's inner/outer circle. You don't really learn about any of this unless you do her route.
>>748979887Kek, even IS hates LTCfaggotry
>>748978230>they should leave them out of other awardsbut then GOTY would only have like 3 nominees kek
>>748992390I can't speak much to that because I recruited different characters on every route, but I think if I do a replay someday I'll either recruit the same characters on every route, or have like 2 teams of 10 or so
>>748960852If Ocarina qualifies, no chance it gets nominated. It has good reviews and is 'mature' so it might be the token Nintendo game if OoT isn't eligible.
>>748992686Ocarina is releasing too late to qualify, plus it's a 1 to 1 remake
>>748992794That was my guess. It'll probably be FE, than.>1 to 1 remakeIt's OoT, if it was eligible it'd be there.
>>748960852fortune weavewolverinecontrolocarinadawnwalkerrequiemthat will be the list
>>748990448I enjoy that Leda is genuinely hard to like as an individual, she's a genuinely damaged woman and when she goes full sadistic sociopath it's really entertaining. Her English VA fucking sucks, though, and can't do a dramatic line delivery to save her life.
>>748992975I disagree. Her VA was amazing when she broke down in chapter 10.
>Willingly putting up with dubs and lolcowlizationsFW fags sure are cucked
>>748992975Her crying before the end of the route was actually pretty good.That whole scene was perhaps the best part of it.
>>748960852I don't expect it to win anything but I do expect it to be nominated. Despite all of the bullshit around it it's bretty good, biggest flaw is not coming out with a Lunatic mode from the start since normal and hard are both for normie lobotomites which causes the dungeon shit and much of the other side content to feel pointless and tedious instead of tense and fun.Story is also a massive improvement over Engage, which isn't really saying much of course.
>>748972789he hot af
>>748993368I think if will rake a good number of nominations and win at least best rpg/soundtrack tho it will be hard going against marathon
People talk about recruits being renown gated and gimping a unit's potential due to the auto-growths formula, but the real availability killer in part 1 is paralogue gates, since those all happen late in the game. Want to use Tiara on Theodora's route? Okay, you can have her as long as you fulfill the requirements.... for 3 turns before the final map. She had 7 DEF as a level 35 priest.
>>748960852>Nintendo game>Getting nominatedNot going to happen, especially after Reggie left.
>>748993536you know tha game continues on part 2 and 3 right
Holy shit
>>748993536For Tialla, Fabio and Buccar it's not that big of a deal since they are present in their routes.The ones that are actually affected by it are Peppe, Geitz, Ursula, Diego and Sha Lan, since their lord's routes don't exist yet.
>>748993787>yet
>>748990672>Dietrich's story is fun incarnate, though. Arguably not super deep or mature or what-have-youthat's the problem. storyfags are only capable of enjoying deep gritty fucked up realistic stories to soothe their jaded souls
Man Bertrand carried pretty hard in Part 2 but he's kinda falling off in Part 3 for me. He's basically a OHKO button though which I guess is good enough but his spd and dex are pretty lacking. Definitely speedwing and secret book candidate to at least not get doubled
>>748993953As a Storyfag myself Deitrich is my favorite story by far. I love 'Obviously and unabashedly evil motherfucker who would be a villain or boss in any other story somehow stumbling into a heroic or semi-heroic role' characters.
>>748992794>Ocarina is releasing too late to qualifyNo it's not, it's an early November release. There's been games released in that time frame on the awards.
>>748994352Dietrich isn't evil at all. You're pretty dumb.
>Saddam invents a Guy alarm>Guy enters the room.>Saddam: “GUY DETECTED.”>Guy: “Don't.”>Saddam: “GUY DETECTED.”>Guy: “Stop.”>Saddam: “PROXIMITY WARNING: GUY APPROACHING.”>Guy: “I'M STANDING STILL.”>Saddam: “GUY REMAINS DETECTED.”>Guy: “I'M LEAVING.”>Saddam: “GUY DEPARTING.”
>>748994352He's based and has the best music along with Theodora. I love his edgelord musings and how all the big story shit is secondary to him just wanting to fight
So there's this older fighter named Majide? Was this also his name in JP? Was there supposed to be a gag here considering this name for a middle aged man whose name is like a teenager saying 'for real?'
>>748993787>since they are present in their routesDoes part 2 recruitment work like that if you've done multiple routes? Like, say I've done Theodora's and Cai's routes, can I take Cai's Tiara into Theodora's part 2 instead of one she recruited?
>>748994680Fabio is the main character of Dietrich's route
>>748960852All of the Chapter 1s are some of the best stuff in the series.Chapter 2 and 3 is some of the worst.
>>748994946Yeah same name in JP
>>748994352They tell you several times that Dietrich isn't actually evil, he's just super autistic and affected by a family curse.
>>748973785>doesn't have gay sexIt literally does, it is the most gay, DEI, and brown FE ever. Glad this shit is flopping, but it does have a good chance of winning goty imo because it is tailor made for normies and people that don't like fire emblem
>>748995006For part 3 you get all the units you got among the routes. If any is repeated, you choose which one you will get and can then use the boons shards to merge their different versions, getting the best stats and ranks among them.
>>748977456>has the worst art and character designs so far>bloated story, padded gameplay that wastes your time, story is bad and doesn't have pay off for all the time you have to invest in it>mediocre to bad gameplay>obviously western consultedThis game is shit and there's a reason it didn't even sell more than engage
Took her off the bench if act 2 and HOLY BAZONGA
>>748996101she's exposing Cai to very adult things...
We can all agree that Queen's Gambit is the best protagonist theme in the game right?
>>748996730Moonlight Vision for me.
>>748960852>What if Mars was an African swamp god.
>>748979283If they ever do a crossover game, I want Fabio and Tharja to interact. They would have some interesting conversations
Axe Catania is insane. She gets big strength because of the Axe classes growths without losing speed or dex. She gets tons of Hit bonus from her Personals to get the most out of Axes and she still doubles everything. I can hit 100% Accuracy on enemies in bushes with a throwing axe. She's amazing. With Positioning+ and Besieger if she's in a tile with bonuses she gets a huge avo and hit boost to make her even more insane. I'm gonna try to get Axe combat arts with awful hit on her and destroy everything.
>>748960852We wuz manaketes n shieeeeeeeeeeet
Where da minors at?
>>748997287>Nezha tells her he's two years old>she immediately tried to hitWe need to lock this woman up
>>748997287what is she riding?
Do you have access to the map in part 2 or i should be catching extra mounts/getting extra battalions for when the path rejoin in chapter 3 ?
>>748997819You cannot access the map in part 2 and will not be able to access the good mounts until part 3 for wyverns and horses.
>>748997819Part two is battle after battle with a very limited hub in between, so catch the mounts while you can
Would I be retarded for keeping my Pugilist as-is instead of promoting to an Advanced class? None of the classes I have unlocked serve the same function.
>>748997971You can but Warriors can use Gauntlets if you're concerned about that
>>748998059It's more that I use my Pugilist as a dodge tank, and the Advanced classes that let you do that can't use fists. Guess I could pivot to swords for a bit and go Shido just for the stat gains if it bothers me that much.
>>748996730Its storm of pedals for me. Reminds me of with mila's divine protection a little.

>>748980219>Its truly 2026 Gaiden, warts and gems.At last, I truly see. I just hope Kusakihara has finally gotten it out of his system after this one and we can keep his weird world building ideas without his weirder gameplay ideas.>>748992430Yeah, they might have fucked themselves with making most of Part 1 interconnected that shifting dates around to reduce free time might be very difficult. The free times with <35 turns were the most enjoyable by far.>>748992794OoT qualifies, the cutoff is like a week or less before GTA comes out.
>>748997638No pubes?
>MC that isn't really the MC>Multiple Lord's stories you can switch between in a hub area>Given barely any characters, instead there's a focus on recruitment of characters>The way navigating the map and the time mechanic work >Auto battler dungeonsEverything about the game screams gacha. I don't know if it was originally meant to be one, but you can see mobile game mindset behind how it's designed. They probably envisioned players logging on once a day for half an hour to an hour, knocking off some daily/weekly tasks, making slight advancements around the map, running a single dungeon and then calling it a day. And recruiting new characters through rolling on a banner system you could pay real money for of course.
>>749000465>the cutoff is like a week or less before GTA comes outThere's no way they aren't going to bend the rules and have an extension just for GTA.
>>74899243050 rewinds is also ridiculous, reduce that shit to at least 20.
>>748978712Are you illiterate? Most lords can reach overblaze in 2 turns. Read nigger
>>749000816>Are you illiterate?Are you? Read the literal first sentence of my post
literally me
>>749000667I'm not saying they won't for sure. However I think it's really more of coin flip than an absolute certainty like plenty of people assume. GTA being the only game that could conceivably win in 2027 after being barely too late for 2026 also has me believing in the possibility that they do stick to their own rules and make it sit this year's awards out.
>>748981317Truke. Everyone is just being disingenuous.
>>748987973Tialla is such a dogshit unit she's worse than my Yang Jie in every way
>>748995131We're also told he expressly joined in with the order of Mithras to destroy the world in the original timeline, and Fortuna comments how much she dislikes him but needs to get him on the "right" side to win the fight against Balor. Dude sided with the apocalypse just because he thought he would get some good fights out of it, that's evil.
>>749001612well i just found a 2nd separate NPC who says the exact same thing so that is indeed true
>>749001734Sounds familiar
>>749001668Yell well you wouldn't bang Yang Jie. Tialla keeps the moral up
>>749001668She's not bad. Yang Yie is just OP
>>749001668She gets physic earlier than him and has a 1-2 range strength rally for early game. Though the real answer is to just use both, Ultand is the bad healer and Yang Jie's recruitment requirements are super low on Cai's route.
>>748987973>Yang Yie and Ziroc DIn what world?
>>749002201She wants to fuck him later on doe
>>749001668Tialla gets Excalibur and Physics so she's pretty good and if you're so inclined she gets 1-2 dances which is a niche unique to her.
New ultand just dropped
>>749002056I wouldn't bang Tialla either. Ultand, Leda and Theodora can get it though.

Baozi is super funny. Of all of Hong Hua's squad, you have a mediator, an ancient human, an agarthan, and.... literally just some guy. He accomplishes nothing, seethes a bunch, and dies. We all thought he was meant to be a playable character and a Azure Moon reference, and in the end he was a super minor character that got killed offscreen by faction he served.

>>748973575you can recruit klapka?also Jasmine isn't that bad, I would put her right next to Goliath since they're practically identical as tanks
+20 avoid
Is there any benefit to blaze gaugelets using cursed weapons? They just get damaged when their gauge fills, right? Mediators lose blaze with cursed weapons and I don't think automation works with them.
>>749004215I wish I could remember where I got the Dodge Gauntlets so I can beeline for them in my other routes. They've carried me super hard. I just did Annatolia's paralogue and I gave up on the escort mission to kill the damn hydra instead. I had my Pugilist break the shield thanks to Leda dancing to give her extra turns, then ramming my army into the hole. Couldn't have done it if the thing didn't have a 2% hit rate on the tank.
>>748973575Ludia is good as an armor knight. She has enough speed growths to keep doubling and she gets a lot of bonuses when she does double. She can be an armored dodge tank. She gets +10 Avo when wearing armor. Give her a Whirlwind Sword and she's set.
>>749004215Am I supposed to be seeing something here? Why is that guy about to attack a bush?
>>748981317The more new games come out the fractures and split the fanbase becomes. I’d hate to be affiliated with the Awakening to Fortune’s Weave crowds. I will always stick with the classic side of FE.Wholesome cute pic.
So Catania is a healslut stuck in a pegaslut's body right? She gets physic and warp
>>749002823Probably the cutest girl in FE desu.
>>749004457>I will always stick with the classic side of FE.GBAfags and Telliustroons always shit on the DS games though, especially New Mystery.
>>748984382Man, NONE of those stats are good for level 37. It's like he actually lost points for half the levels he automatically gained.
>>749004215https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62Qe7Ska5Fg
>>749004565Speed is fine, rest not so much.
>>749004198Klapka is obtained in part 3 after Mahadu's map, it requires keeping him and potentially all of his units alive. As a unit he and his squad aren't too bad on that map as the enemies are mostly physical, but it is the high crit map so you do want to clear out stuff before they suicide onto enemies. I'm not sure if recruiting him requires Theodora's route to be completed and for Theodora to be present at the map. As for why he's bad he has the same problem as Tahonia where he can't reclass out of his default class (guardian) and isn't allowed to use the arena to train.
>>749004541>>749004457The FE fanbase has only ever been "unified" when it first came to the west (the GBA trilogy) The second we got PoR and later games, the differences kept splintering the fanbase. Once the games became mainstream with Awakening and later on Three houses the splintering became worse because not onle is the niche gameplay focused old fanbase splintered, we have newfags and normgroids flooding in
>>748960852Now that Ace Combat 8 and Control Resonant are out it has zero chance of winning but it will most certainly be nominated. I just hope the OOT demake doesn't win...
>>748987973Esmeralda's been underperforming for me, but I'm just waiting to finally get a ranged spear that's better than the Javelin so her kit can finally come together.
>>749002536Didn't Dagda son impregnate her? You may be descended from Dagda.
The Octopath plans really fucked up the story's pacing, because some character's plots happen later in the story. Part 2 is hilariously empty because it's obvious the sub-lords had their plots in part 2.
>>748978119By the time you get s tier magic it is only good for like 5 maps lol. Sirocco is better than Olympia because he is very bulky for a hybrid mage with a magic stat better than most every other mage
>>749004198Why would you even bother, I usually am a recruit everyone guy but when I saw him get crit one tapped by enemy mobs I gave up
They finally made a character with the personality smashfags think Ike has
>>749005635They think Ike is a zesty gay nigga?
>>749005558Manuals exist and can give roughly 200 xp to both magic ranks each chapter you have access to the relevant shops. At least 1 unit can hit S black and white by the end of part 1 excluding Cai's route.
>>749005681well, yes actually
>>749002291>t. Cai
It’s the 2nd highest rated Switch 2 exclusive so maybe. It definitely wouldn’t win. They would give it best strategy game and something else would win GOTY.
>>748992383Even with no Covid and Smash Boost? Lol
>>748960852Its got too many chores, it gets buried behind other, more well-received, chore simulators.It's not getting goty.My big bold call, my Bingo bonus spot; it gets mogged by a mobile game in some category. I mean maybe I just want to be a god of fates and do that, this game doesn't deserve to burn for its chore bs but it deserves to be known for its chore bs
>>748973575>Ludia>Mediocre
>>748960852Does Nintendo even have anything else to nominate? It might get a pity nomination, but I doubt it.
>>748987973Mu being S here has to be a joke.
>people would complain about avatar glazing>when cai, dietrich and bertrand get glazed beyond any avatar besides maybe byleth
>>749006082Ism't Mu with Aptitude another Guzran/Noctula aka solid all-round growths?
>>749006130It's always been okay when it's not avatars, just look at how no one cared about Ephraim and Ike glazing.
>>749006165Her growths are about Siro's level, but she has effectively no ability, her spell list is not nearly as good, and her bases are just worse. It's a meme.
>>749006225Isn't her magic really low even with Aptitude? I put her as a Brawler. But yeah, unless her level-ups are amazing I plan to drop her, my Guzran and Noctula got bonkers level-ups AND have a good passive.
>>749006317I only mentioned the spell thing because someone could have said, "but you could do..." She just isn't that good at anything in particular and placing her in S with the likes of Dietrich, Eshmel, and Orchel is retarded. Those three almost are guaranteed to be broken every run.
>>749005942I don't understand people who say this.you don't need to do everything. you don't need every recruitable charcter on every route with the arena done every week with max relationship mounts with every character.any side quests you do are auto complete on subsequent routes. the crying about chores comes from fags who always have a wiki open in the other tab and can't help their autism but to minmax everything. and if they're not minmaxing they can't let themselves have fun
>>749005725I thought it was pretty clear he was smashing Sorens bussy
>>749003712Nah those ain’t it chief
>>749006462>lose out on supports, skill EXP, new weapons and moreEither remove the chores, or remove the time limit.
>>749004541>GBAfags and Telliustroons always shit on the DS games though, especially New Mystery.Well at least those were remakes of Classic FE despite introducing new mechanics like reclassing, casual mode and the first playable avatar.

>>749004676I only did Cai's path, and did not have Theodora. I kept him and his squad alive, but was not able to recruit him.
Why is she Australian?
>>749006937She's not Australian.
>>749006462Regardless of how essential they are, the chores will be weighted and rated against or maybe for the game by whatever algorithm we neither get to see or decide on.If you got a problem, pursue the smug vidya-illuminati who decide this shit in the first place.

>>748987721Forza is 100% not going to be nominated for GOTY. Even if it did everything right (it didn't) and was the best racing game ever made (it isn't), journalists would still push against the idea for the lack of "muh narrative".Also, I don't think there's any indie game relased this year that could warrant a nomination, unless they really want to shamelessly push Mixtape again.
>>749008009Mewgenics? Mina the Hollower? I dunno, there have been plenty of good indies. Also Saros. Saar it all you want, but everyone basically agrees that it has excellent gameplay, and the saar story also fits the zeitgeist, the same way 007 and other games do. And don't rule out Sony doing something pathetic like paying for Wolverine's nomination as an ad spot and salvaging what is left of that pile of crap.
>>748987973how is jasmine even bad?

>>748984681I did all 4 and started part 4 yesterday after 95 hours of playtime. Pretty short game.
Decision paralysis is getting me on what direction I want to take Leda and Siroco, they can honestly be anything with those split personal growths. Magic and eventually class them into Caladrius or however you spell the classes name and give them each a levin sword seems like the play but honestly unsure.
>>748985261Funny how Theodora saves this stupid fuck but beheads her own brother.
>>749008590she comes with +1 armor movement right out of the gate which negates armor's biggest weaknessher dex is also pretty good for an armorFW in general is very forgiving for speedlets, you can load them up with accessories since they don't give a shit about AS and you have combat arts to increase your damage output without needing to double

Tell me tales of woe, of units that get screwed by the RNG gods. I just finished my 4th path, but i will go back and redo theodora because 22 strenght at lvl 37 is just not okay. She had more magic and speed than fuckign strength
>>748960852Maybe a pity nomination, but 0 chance of actually winning.
>>748975731
>>748975731She's actually perfect.
>>749009143>just play fire emblem 7 and 8 without using the shops, arena and any other mechanics, or 9/10 without BExp
I don't think Ninae is as bad as people say (or mine is blessed)She has mixed defenses and mixed offenses which seems Iike her stats would be spread thin but in my current cai act 2 run she's really good. At level 45 mine has 27 str with 25 res which means she's great at doing physical damage when I also need to take a magic hit, but on the other hand 21 mag + 28 def means she can one-round high def low res enemies with Levin sword without taking much damage. Whereas if I tried to do the same with other magic units on the team like Tialla or Ultand they would still one-round but if they get hit by a counterattack they'll be an inch away from death.I had mine go through pegaslut and then into wyvern and in Pegasus I was boosting her spd growth with a bonded Falicorn
>>748987973Io being so low just makes me disregard this tier list.
>>748989447I'M BACK NIGGUH
I don't know why they can't move all the dagsion activities to a menu instead of needing to walk to each area of the map individually. No one would complain if you could do it all from the perch or something, same with the monastery.
>>749010091You can teleport around with a menu.
Nydine and Lilian are sisters and it’s just straight up removed from the English localization lol
>>749010383Yeah but you still need to keep track of all the activities and do each of them on-site. Not that it's hard, it's just boring and tedious.
>>749010091It would be the perfect solution, which is why they'll never do it. They probably think fast travel is the same as it all being done in a menu.What I'd really like is to be able to press a special button when talking to units that skips their spiel and goes straight to their context menu.
>>749010091the children yearn for Tellius’s base camp
>>749010407It's a pretty easy rhythm to get into. Only annoying thing is tracking down people to give gifts to.
>>749009793I barely touched the arena in fe gba because I'm risk averse and don't like the reptitiveness of itand I think 9 is unironically more fun without bexp (though aiming to complete the special objectives that earn you the bexp is very fun like the mission with the priests used as human shields). I used some to catch up shit units to experiment with, but I beat the game with like 3k bexp left over unused. and no I played on hard not the japanese maniac or whatever "you didn't beat the game" condition you're about to hit me withwhat now faggot? I'm not even trying to be contrarian, I absolutely think you can and maybe even should play fire emblem (and other) games without letting your wikifag metagaming nature cuck you like this.though a part of me is glad Fortune's Weave is filtering OCDcels and fun only for people capable of enjoying the side stuff on their own terms. close your twenty tabs of "20 things you absolutely MUST know before starting in Fire Emblem" video slop and just play video gamesdeath to all wikifags
>>749011650Eh, that's fine, it just means the franchise is no longer for me. I may not finish FW and may quit Fire Emblem entirely if this is the direction the franchise takes.
>>749011650The number of people who're posting "oh I didn't know about mount bonuses in Cai's route FUCKKKKK should I restart?" is mind boggling. These people are so bothered they don't have a perfectly metagamed save file to the point that they'd restart just for *a chance of* slightly higher growths in SOME stats that might amount to a different in 2-3 points over 50 levels How do people live like this? Do they even enjoy vidya?
>>749011650NTA but that sounds like a psychotic way to play. Like, what happens if you can't promote because your weapon or movement type ranks are too low? Or when you literally just have bronze and iron weapons instead of levin swords and killing edges? It genuinely sounds like a horrible, miserable experience. Skipping content because it's been made """""""""""optional""""""""""" (it isn't but difference is instead of the game integrating it directly it's been moved into the map aspect rather than in combat) sounds extremely unfun.I genuinely can't understand the stance of "ignore part of the game", that's not wikifagging, that's literally ignoring entire game mechanics.
>>749011941nobody said ignore the game mechanics entirely you tard, are you only capable of thinking in binaries?nobody said never visit shops or upgrade weapons ever.you can pick 4-5 characters you like in a route and aim to recruit just them, maybe a couple extra if it lines up.you can do the arena when it's 50% off and you're on the verge of leveling up a skill but not every chance you get. Due to the way the Arena levels up with Renown and gains fall off past a point, there's no point in hyperminmaxing in the early game (bc a level 3+ Arena will catch you up very fast later anyway).you can do some of the side quests as and when you run into them, and do others in the next routes, and they stay finished between routes.it's okay if your units promote a chapter later. this is fire emblem, it's a series with random growths, you can do everything right and get cucked on level ups for some units. that's absolutely a sign from the developers that you can't always minmax everything perfectly and you think that's what's psychotic? fucking lmao, take a break and just play video games for fun man.the ONLY thing you need a wiki for is the paralogue availability I'll admit.
the DLC will fix everything. all 4 sublords will be fleshed out and only want Eshmel
>>749012856I want Bertrand to be the biggest birdfucker just for the Aswan memes.
Cutesythea
Just finished Leda's route and I found it fine. Don't get all the shitposting over it. Her character development and conclusion was pretty much what I expected and her story hammers it home how revenge won't give her closure and that her energy is better spent somewhere else on family and herself.Really my only criticisms are minor things like how the Buccar betrayal is glossed over or Maria getting offscreened. I'll probably do Theo next for the story relevance and call it quits. Don't care enough for Dietrich or Cai unless I can skip everything.
>>748999995Which most people dont care.Awakening has been one of the most conceited ass games ever made on how obnoxious its fanbase Personafags have been for a decade and a half, with that blue bitch Lucina being one of the most cancerous characters ever made despite being kind of a nothing character in her own game.
>>749009924My problem is I used both her and Seteth and Seteth mogged her in every single stat.
>>749013761>Awakening has been one of the most conceited ass games ever made on how obnoxious its fanbase Personafags have been for a decade and a half,Are you not getting that mixed up with three houses, game literally with a school setting and a calendar system
>>749013761Awakening has nothing to do with Persona its just chronic shipfags. Personashit 100% started with 3 houses

Mu is built for abuse, delusion and corruption.
>>748984382His personal skill gives him vantage on enemy phase when the enemy has already been damaged occasionally and his level up skills give him attack/crit when the enemy has already been damaged. He's designed to be babied and to pick up scraps which I guess helps with the late recruitment time.

Dietrich's butt rock theme is cool and all, but I kinda liked Theodora's theme more. I didn't realize that the map theme wasn't just a generic map theme. Also, Dietrich can't gather? What the fuck?
Why do so many faggots in these threads refuse to use spoiler tags?Go to an ac8 thread and shit looks like epstein files with all the blacked out text and that's a 15 hour game.Meanwhile FW is like 100 hours for part 1 alone
>Dietrich levels like absolute dogshit and can only manage to chip Cetus>Ends the route mediocre and only usable while in overblaze with his last 5 levels leveling speed 0 times as a Warrior>completely mogged by Fabio and Esmeralda who carry every chapter for me>start Theodora's route>Theodora has 12 base str at level 15, no speed and no defense>Bonaventure levels magic, speed and def almost every level>Tobias is somehow leveling speed almost all the timeWhy the fuck are my lords like this, who do I blame for this fucked up RNG seed
>>749016846>Why do so many faggots in these threads refuse to use spoiler tags?Because the story in fire emblem has never meant anything which is why the most beloved games here are considered Fates and 8
I have brown fatigue
good game
>played for 5 hours straight>made 0 main story progress
>>748988667The guzzler really should have been a sub-character in Cai’s route.
>>749008827I almost regret giving Leda my levin sword, because combined with her overblaze she's become such a good damage dealer that I never get to use her support skills anymore.
So how do the paired endings work, anyway? Does seeing an A-ranked support lock you into those characters' ending, or are there extra steps?
>>749018254I assume you can pop multiple and who marries who is just up to random chance again, like 3H
BLACKED EMBLEM LMAOOOOO
So discussions of this game (read "chore") are pretty much dead.
>>749017076My dietrich has good strength and I still give him a levin sword just so he can enemy phase range units, so do that.
Finally beat all of the part 1s, got to admit I kinda phoned leda's route in since it really didn't interest me. Like yeah dietrich's route was also a nothing ever happens route with another open ending but that was kinda expected on the loredumps and cool 1v1 fights route less so on the revenge drama route. For fun though I took a look at how beefed up each of my lords are(ordered exactly the same order I did their routes) and since she's the only one I bothered to recruit on all 4 routes how weirdly consistent alexandra is despite me trying a few different classes to tailor her growths. Honestly have no clue if I got lucky/unlucky with any of the lords
>>749020209Once people finish Part 1 people will talk more. Part 1 has tons upon tons of padding.
>>749020849>when she sees FEshmel's 20 inch pegasus cock

>>749015754Theodora's theme sounds perfectly fine for a regular battle map, I was also surprised. I got the most "standard" lord vibe playing her.Dietrich will be able to gather stuff later on.
>>749014449I turned her into a charioteer because she is female Merlinus.

>>749014449Pray for dlc to get her early on the Talimun path.
>>749009793>he used the arenayou didnt beat the game unironically
>>749011941Unless you're trying to completely shift what a unit is doing, level is always going to be the limiting factor when it comes to promoting. This isn't 3H where you're going to hit the required level to promote before you hit the weapon ranks.>D at beginner by level 5, E+ for riding which is one training session or riding manual>C at specialty by level 20, D for riding/flying, E+ for armor>B at advanced by level 35, C for riding/flying except on an ornius or troubador which is still D, E for armor>A at master by 45, B for the primary focus of hybrid classes, requirements for mounts are still at D or C barring one class which is BThe only exception are divine classes which require you to meet the weapon ranks to class into them, but if you don't have a unit at S rank for the weapon by that point I'd have to question if you're even using that unit. Missing a few weekly arena sessions is fine, for my first run on Cai's route I didn't care about the weekly activity reset until about 3 quarters of the way through and everyone was able to promote on time.
>>749009615this is what ive been saying
