    I would of actually went the other way and put more hours into the first playthrough as when you get to NG+ everything carries over like support levels, weapon skills and your professor level, although you do need to spend renown on them.

    The normal difficulty is probably the easiest of any game in the series, but it's been good for newcomers to the series, but front loading a few characters and ignoring others is suicide on harder levels, so much so in previous entries you would actually not be able to progress with the story without hours of grinding.

    I've no idea how people are getting through their first playthrough so quickly. I'm 46 hours in with Black Eagles and I think I've still a decent bit to go. I haven't done any grinding or anything, just made sure to explore fully and do everything available.

    Agreed, though most of my other characters were around level 40-45 ish, so I was aware of that. I didn't feel like I was rushing, but it's my fire Fire Emblem game in a long time, so I felt I needed to get the mechanics down first before the support stuff. Looking forward to the next playthrough anyway!

    Like I said, I've no idea either. I had decent support levels, normally B or higher. I had a load of them with A support with each other. I had 5 or so of the fancy powerful weapons (though the Axe was kind of ****) - The only part that I didn't do too much on was the battles because I didn't realise some of them didn't use your 'battle points' so I could have done more than I did.

    Anyone else is playing with the Japanese voice over instead of the English?

    Really enjoyable game I have to say!

    I will be playing with Japanese voice over, much prefer over english dub.

    Been playing this on and off since it came out but have gotten properly hooked in the past few days. It's suprisingly good and definitely my goty so far which is suprising since I hated fire emblem fates.

    40 hours in to my first playthrough and I'm just after getting to part 2. I went with the black eagles as I found them the most interesting.
    I thought the story was a bit meh until I went from the personification of the goddess to fighting a war against the other two houses and the church along with a 5 year coma in the space of an hour. That said I knew there was a timeskip coming and guessed that edelgaard was the fire emperor. It better be explained why she allied with the two that turned students into monsters and killed Jeralt because that seems pretty close to what she was mad at the church for.

    I'm interested to see how the church allied route and other houses go as I doubt I'd care that Edelgaard rebelled if I hadn't picked her house to teach.

    Still having a super time with this, 55 hours in and I'm only just getting into second Act. There's just so much to do and it's pretty much all enjoyable. Fishing is the only thing I find boring in it. Have been doing a lot of optional battles and paralogues too so I'm guessing that's added a lot to playtime


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,330 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    Having never played a Fire Emblem game before, would I be right in reading this one as Persona's social system crossed with Final Fantasy Tactics style combat?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,191 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Some of the character development as your connection grows is very in-depth and quite scarry I'd love a persona game on switch like this

    Finished this last night and have to admit that I didn't enjoy the second act nearly as much as the first. The
    timeskip
    was a bit meh but my main gripe was with the direction the story route I was on went.

    Spoilers for the black eagle route
    I went with Edelgaard against the church but the part I liked about that choice was that they were both morally grey choices: the church/cult that controls everything with shadowy powers but keeps peace vs the the young lord who wants self determination but is willing to do anything to get it.

    This felt like an interesting dynamic but it fell apart as Edelgaard's personality did a complete 180. She goes from cold and deterministic in pursuit of her goals to fantasizing about retiring in peace time and finding a successor to the throne her whole life is based on.

    It reminded me of the other fire emblem games where you could have a cold hearted killer but if you romance them they turn into a shy blushing buffoon :pac:

    Also your character collapsing and their hair going back to blue was very tacky.

    I thought once you defeated the church Edelgaard's uncle would use the giant bomb thing again to kill everyone left and claim the throne for himself but I suppose that would be a bit dour.

    Still though it's definitely my goty so far and the only 50 hour rpg I can remember that I wanted to start a second playthrough straight away.

    Also greatly prefer that you can't have children in this one. The system in fates where you have a child and they magically reach fighting age through anime cliches was awful.

    Finished my Blue Lions play through last night. Came in at just about 80 hours so definitely took my time with it. Game of the year so far for me for sure and will be doing another play through after a little break.

    I was spending way too much time at the start worrying about getting people on the right path to the Master Class's I wanted them for, but the game is actually fairly forgiving in that respect. Found that several team members I had written off at the start became my best units for a finish. Recruited Cyril entirely due to accidental button press and completely ignored him for a good portion of the game but still managed to make him a Wyvern Lord and became one of my most important team members in the latter battles. The adjutant system is handy for keeping units levelled like him levelled until I needed to use him.

    I thought some of the teaching aspects of the game became a bit redundant once I got most used team members to S Rank in their chosen skills later in the game, unless there's something I'm missing there. Ended up not knowing what to do with my activity points sometimes. Also didn't have a clue what to spend money on apart from gifts and the odd weapon.

    Felix started off as a bit of a pain in the ar$e but became my favourite character in the end, he's beastly as a Mortal Savant.

    Not sure whether to start Astral Chain now of Gears 5, way too many good games out the last 2 month's it's very hard to keep up.

    Jesus that Golden Deer story goes on, doesn't it?

    Thought I had it finished with
    the battle against Edelgard in the captial. Then I was certain I had it finished with the battle in Shambala and now there's another battle with Nemesis.
    The Black Eagle play-through was much quicker and the story wrapped up before it out-stayed it's welcome

    Think that'll be it for me once I'm done with Golden Deer. I'll just look up the Blue Lion stuff because I don't have it in me to go through the school stuff for a fifth time.

    Think it'll be just over 80 hours for the two play-throughs.
    I do have a save for the alternative Black Eagles route, where you side against Edelgard. I I do come back to the game eventually, it'll probably be for that.

    Playing this atm, great little game, I took on what I assume was the first boss last night
    the dude wielding the lance changed into a demon
    , they gave me fierce trouble, eventually got them though, playing on the lowest difficulty as well. I can see myself doing a perma death run as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,191 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    I keep restarting myself do the optional battles as much as you can pick two weapons or abilities to focus on your main character other than sword say bow and heavey armour as that makes recruiting the other house characters easier visit the greenhouse and training ground every week as they give great xp if you do those tasks. I'm gonna start a classic play with the golden deer house Hilda needs to die.

    Nooooo
    Edelgard
    how could you :(!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,191 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Full of twists you just do not see coming but then once they've happened you apply hindsight to the character development and bam it all fits very engaging game black eagle house definitely my favourite


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,808 ✭✭✭skerry


    Nooooo
    Edelgard
    how could you :(!


    Played Blue Lions for my playthrough but fairly sure I know what twist your on about. Must do a Black Eagle play through in the new year. Might have to accidentally let Hubert get killed though cos he's a complete d!ck.


    Picked up FE Echoes and Fates: Birthright for my newly acquired 2DS XL so they might have to be tackled first.

    Picked this up a few days ago. It's my first Fire Emblem game and I have to say, it's fantastic, utterly engrossing.

    I find tactical RPGs to be fairly intimidating in general so usually avoid them like the plague, but this (at least so far) seems to be doing a great job of easing players in. It's a gradual drip feed of information and mechanics, rather than the absolute info dump that other examples in the genre usually unleash within the first hour.

    The only thing worrying me so far is that I'm potentially not making the best use of my free time each month. I'm still super early on (just got through the battle with the bandits in Red Canyon). So far my routine has been to explore and boost motivation/professor level on the first free day of the month, battle on the second free day, then seminar on the third free day. No idea if this is efficient or not, conflicting articles online aren't much use neither!

    Also slightly unsure as to how best to level students up early on. I've put quite a bit of time in on Edelgard and Ferdinand early on (I picked Black Eagles) so I could have three reliably strong early game frontline troops to take/deal out the brunt of the damage, however I came close to losing a couple in the battle with the Bandits as I had obviously neglected the rest of the class in favour of power levelling those two. Thinking it might be more efficient to keep rotating month to month so as to keep everyone relatively evenly matched?

    I'm sure I'll decipher it all at some stage, can't wait to get stuck in again over the weekend!!

    Make sure you make use of fishing and the greenhouse during free time to increase your professor level and get more instruction points to lecturing. Group activities like eating with a couple of students and choir are pretty efficient for maxing out motivation. Make sure you pick the meals that are favourites of the companions you are using to increase motivation more.

    I think i did similar to yourself in focusing too much on a couple of characters resulting in a weaker team. I had a few team members I thought were useless but turned out to be the MVP's in most battles for a finish once I focused on leveling them.

    Giving the right gifts to students will fill their motivation bar 50%, if its just a random gift they don't care for you'll only get 25%.

    For a finish I focused on free time at start of month to max out all students, then practice battles which levels them up pretty quick again. In practice battles, if your trying to level a particular character when they don't have the capability to get a kill solo let stronger team members weaken them and then give the kill to the weaker character you want to level so they get the XP.

    Cheers for the helpful reply, most appreciated!

    I'm definitely going to try and spread the levelling out a bit more evenly across the team. With regards motivation, did you eventually end up with enough action points that you could motivate your entire team? Currently Im only exploring one day a month and only have 3 points so I tend to use one to cook a meal, and the other two reserved for eating with students.

    I'll need to start focusing more on gifts as it sounds like that's a great way to pick up any slack with motivation.

    It's been a few months but I think you eventually get a quest from a vendor after which said vendor will be available at the monastery to buy gifts from. You can use gifts a lot more then by just buying what you need for any remaining students you need to motivate after you've used up your points. Harder to take advantage of gifts properly before that point. Have a look online and you'll see info on what characters like what gifts.

    Found myself having to squeeze in another day motivating students later in the game cos you will have more points for instructing students once your professor level increases.

    I didn't really bother with cooking meals cos I think you can only motivate one student at a time that way. Choir practice and eating as a group let's you motivate 2 students at a time for 1 action point so it's more efficient as far as I remember.

    It's a super game and definitely GOTY for me this year. I did Blue Lions but must get the Black Eagle route done sometime in the new year.

    Cheers mate, thats really helpful info.

    It's shaping up to be a GotY contender for me as well even at this early stage. Absolutely loving it.

    No bother, I was fairly clueless going into it myself but got some sound advice from folks on here and it all comes together then after a few battles. Got some of the previous FE games on 2DS now so gonna see how they compare.

    Yep, I'm leaning on battles heavily at the moment. I'm playing on Normal difficulty with classic enabled and being able to grind the auxiliary battles has been useful for bringing anyone lagging behind in levels or skills up to speed.

    Anyone who has completed it - Does the difficulty on normal spike at any point? I'm finding it quite manageable so far to the point where I am thinking I should have started on hard. I'm on Chapter 6, and have just defeated the first "boss" at the top of the tower, so still relatively early on, but I have not run into any encounters where I felt threatened as of yet. It's nice in a way as it is letting me familiarise myself with the game without getting my ass kicked constantly, but it's almost too leisurely at times.

    Cheers!

    Dont remember it spiking really. That boss battle took a few efforts for me to get right, mainly to get to the boss without expending gambits. The final battle I found tough enough. It's my first FE game but I think it's generally considered one of the tamer ones.

    I had trouble at the start just getting used to mechanics etc but once you get used to it and start getting mounted units, decent archers and pegasus knights which give more mobility it's not that challenging

    Just started Echoes on the 3DS last night so will see how that compares.

    It spiked for me in a paralogue mission in chapter 15, no matter what I do I can't get past it :(.

    It spiked for me in a paralogue mission in chapter 15, no matter what I do I can't get past it :(.

    Think I hit the paralogue mission being referred to here. Everything was going swimmingly until you get a certain someone close to the objective then boom, map is fully populated again with even tougher enemies spawning in from all sides pretty much.

    I don't have a team that is equipped for it at all. I can see how it would be possible with a team heavily favouring magic users, but most of my characters are physical units/bow users with only Dorothea being effective as far as magic is concerned.

    Sick of banging my head against a wall so think I will leave it be and move on for now, too eager to wrap up by BE playthrough and get cracking on GD!

    I've just been shown how to lecture students. DO I need to do this manually or will auto lecture be enough?

    I always did it manually, it doesn't take that long and you get more control over how they develop. I never did the auto option so not sure how it pans out that way.

    The game tells you what areas a particular student will excel at and you'll get more gains from investing in these attributes. But all students have a hidden talent too (I think it generally has 3 stars to the right of it) that you can invest in which you'll see decent growth in once you fill the 3 stars. I think students also generally have a talent they are completely averse to and you will struggle to see gains if you invest in these.

    There's also weekly activities you can assign 2 students to such as cleaning the stables for increasing their mounted attribute if you want them to become mounted units, there's a flying one and can't remember the other one.

    65 hours, ch 21, still on first play through, is there any benefit to doing the side quests in explore mode?

    65 hours, ch 21, still on first play through, is there any benefit to doing the side quests in explore mode?

    I've gotten a couple of decent battalions from some late game ones. Also they give a decent amount of renown which is useful for rebuilding the statues at the back right of the monastery that give the different perks as you upgrade them. I found the experience gains and extra divine pulse uses came in useful so done the side quests until I had unlocked the majority of the perks I wanted.

    So I've pretty much coasted my way to chapter 21 on the church route and boom, I've hit a wall I just can't seem to get over.

    Three hours last night spent trying different strats, slow approaches, rushing approaches, pulling aggro with my tankier units or those with top notch evasion. Nothing seems to work, even with two dedicated healers and two units who have the heal ability. I will probably get through it eventually, just finding it to be quite a spike after the doddle that chapter 20 was.

Nothing seems to work, even with two dedicated healers and two units who have the heal ability. I will probably get through it eventually, just finding it to be quite a spike after the doddle that chapter 20 was.

    I'm on Ch 21 as well, what difficulty are you on ?

    Playing on normal just, with classic enabled.

    I'm going to have another bash at the weekend, my brain was scrambled after work last night so fatigue may have had something to do with it!

    Let me know you get on Sephiroth, I'm curious to know if it is as difficult as I found it or if I'm just terrible at the game :pac:

    Probably will be easier as I'm playing on the lowest difficulty :o is classic mode perma death ?

    Is the Season Pass worth it? Wouldn't be bothered about outfits and the like.

    I could be interested in the new DLC if it doesn't force you to play through the same 25 hours first half of the game that everyone has already played.

    Finished.....phew that was a struggle. Lost a few members along the way, but they were necessary sacrafices. All I can say is thank **** for Ingrid

    Spam them with gifts. If you get them to support level B you don't really need to worry about trying to get the right skills levelled up, once at support level B that should trigger a convo at some point the following month where they ask to join your house.

    I keep inviting Ashe and Bernadetta to cook and give Ingrid Dorethea and others gifts there are so many recruitment guides online that do things differently. Just glad I look very the repetition of the game so much.

    I've accidentally made Hilda in to a one woman axe murder machine. It's glorious.

    When she cuts a fool down and chants HILDA! HILDA!

    :D

    Ingrid is a beast. I had her as a Pegasus Knight and she cleared house for me on most levels. She's pretty much untouchable.
