What games/romhacks are you playing? Is there a chance Three Houses won't be shit?
I've been playing through Radiant Dawn on hard for the first time and boy is it a mess. Who though removing the weapon triangle and ability to view enemy distance was a good idea? Greil mercs+Haar still steamroll everyone in their chapters and part 2 isn't that much harder. Just started the chapter where you control the Dawn Brigade again and most of the team isn't promoted (had to throw some bonus XP on units just to get a few promoted). This is hell on normal and I don't think it's going to be fun.
What are some good romhacks? I liked Order of the Crimson Arm, Staff of Ages and Requiem.

Oh and the screenshot: Do Laguz that die in beast form have their corpse in beast form? The only ones I can think of that die in story off hand stay alive long enough that it doesn't really answer the question. The soldier there could just be ignorant though.
b49f94 No.15608712
Was just replaying this on Normal. If you really overprepare for some chapters in advance, it's possible to do some ridiculous shit, even in hard mode. On normal, for instance, it's possible to level Nolan/Zihark support bonus to A for +45 evade bonus, stack it with +10 from the thicket tile and it gives you just enough evade to 100% evade everything with Resolve up in 3-6 assuming you have enough speed. You can do this with both Nolan and Zihark, though if you put Beastfoe on Nolan and give him a crossbow, he can one-round all laguz on the map. This applies to 3-13 as well.
Skills in this game are just broken in general, if you know how and when to use them. Sadly, the game just doesn't inform you of that, so unless you're on your second playthrough you're not going to guess that removing Celerity from Tormod and giving a scroll to Ilyana to pass on to Part 3 team is going to be a right idea.
Oh yeah, BEXP in this game is broken too, even in HM because it always levels three stats if they're available. Soren and Nephenee cap three of their stats quickly, so if you just have them level up with BEXP exclusively until Tier 3, they end up very close to T2 caps. If you keep sticking to 10 turn limit for most maps, you can get gigantic Turn Count BEXP bonuses that you can use to top off already leveled characters to make the game into a cakewalk. Even Part 4 on Hard Mode won't stop you if you just level characters properly without BEXP and then use it when you've cappped enough stats.
Overall, the game isn't bad, but it feels like it's unfinished, with things like how there's exactly zero laguz worth leveling, map quality drop after Part 1 and with Blood Pact subplot being a mess. Seriously, Part 1 maps were really great, I want more of that. Part 2 was fucking nothing aside from 2-2 being Fog of War hell with melee units having way more crit% than Lethe's luck, making her worthless right from the fucking start and 2-E, which Haar can just solo with you pump him with BEXP or, failing that, an Ashera Icon for less chance to get fucked by a crit from thunder mages. Part 3 just feels like iijimodo and Part 4 is either really easy or really hard depending on how well you're prepared for it because of the stat difference.

You're actually playing it on Maniac, not Hard. But yes, those changes are stupid even with that in mind. There's no good reason to remove mechanics like that.

>>15608836
There's actually a benefit to that - you don't get 15 less evade for having weapon triangle disadvantage and you can, therefore, have enough stats to 100% evade everything with resolve on 3-12 and most of part 4 as either Zihark or Nolan assuming your Biorhythm won't fuck you over, who the FUCK DESIGNED THIS.. You can also have less of your hit rates fucked by weapon triangle disadvantage because your Haar/Titania combo is just going to be throwing hand axes most of the time. But yeah, it's pretty shit.

I randomized FE8 and was having a lot of fun with it until I got to Chapter 12 of Eirika's route. I guess there's some kind of randomizer bug with the spiders and I'm not sure of the best way to go about fixing it. I could remove the spiders entirely but I'm hoping there is a less bothersome way to do it.
Unrelated but I was playing vanilla FE8 the other day and Orsin got a perfect level-up in 5x. I didn't get a screenshot in time but I got a shot of his new stats. They aren't on this computer, though.

A good one. As long as it's better than Awakening I'll be content.

Void's Blitzarre Adventure is pretty cool, but the late game has too many enemies and it's kind of a slog. The Road to Ruin is finished, too, and a good time in the early game (though I haven't beaten it due to playing other vidya).
I have FE4 on my computer and I'm going to play some this weekend. Are there any pairings that are considered horrible and should be avoided? I don't want to go full guide, but I'd like to know if there are some clear "why the fuck would you do this"-tier pairings.

Yep, looks like it was changed. Definitely an improvement. There's entirely new content (the special weapons for the Dawn Brigade in 3-6 are the obvious one) in Radiant Dawn's English version and the game is so unfinished in general it's possible it might have been the original writer(s) making the change instead of the translation team genuinely being clever.

By god, fuck 4-4. You need to bait Sleep staff uses with Ike as fast as possible to 10-turn it, there are three rooms with chests and you need all of them. If you don't 10-turn it, massive waves of reinforcements spawn from the west and south.
>>15609514
When you have the silver card, best thing to do with it is to buy 15-20 hand axes, 3-4 Steel Poleaxes, 2-3 Steel Greatlances and around 8 javelins. If you don't have enough cash for all this, ferry over a Blue Gem from the DB team. This should last you through the entire part 3 and a good chunk of part 4 if you're using Neph, Titania and Haar. Don't forget to sell the card afterwards.
fcf7c8 No.15609701
>>15609695
I did buy in bulk+sell the card when I had the silver card. Problem is I gave swords/staffs too much weight (didn't realize even on hard mode nobody can hit the GMs) and axe/lances too little.
b49f94 No.15609719
>>15609701
Who the fuck would you even put swords on? Mia is a swordmaster and she dies really fast on enemy phase if RNG doesn't like her and Titania wants axes instead because 2 range. If you really want weapon triangle advantage, you could buy one or two more greatlances for Haar with some javelins. Staves suffer from the problem where maps just don't allow safe areas for vulnerable units sometimes and none of the healbots in part 3 have Canto which solves that particular problem except Tier 3 Mist and good luck spending that much BEXP to get her to that point when you get Elincia and promoted Soren a little later down the line.
fcf7c8 No.15609746
>>15609719
I had Mia and Oscar support (Ike is stuck with Soren because I wanted to do the hidden scene, so no double Earth) and gave her daunt. Nobody can touch her. Frankly nobody can touch anyone of the GM on Maniac.
Thought Mia and Ike would break swords faster than they have been. They kill enemies too quickly.
b49f94 No.15609785
>>15609746
You're gonna run into a huge problem soon where Mia won't be able to reliably hit 2-range enemies because of Wind Edge's stupid 50 base accuracy. Enemy to-hit is gonna ramp up fast too, so if you don't BEXP up her defense stat, she's gonna die if you put her anywhere near where Haar's supposed to be. I used Neph/Soren pair on hard mode and right now using Neph/Shinon pair this playthrough because Neph almost always caps defense after BEXP, has a huge health cap and has decent dodge even without any supports.

It's actually 60 base - Hand axes are 70 base. Storm swords are 50 base. It's still bullshit because Biorhythms are gonna fuck you up regardless, so you need as much acc as you can possibly get.

There is a chance Three Houses will be good. Fire Emblem Echoes was a step in the right direction and Nintendo may want to stay out of all the relationship stuff because of all the controversy it caused in fates. However it looks like Persona and awakening and fates sold well so they might just force it in.
949143 No.15610071
>>15609974
That relationship stuff was for the purpose of creating child units for the future timeline in Awakening where it was a good gameplay homage to Geneology of the Holy War and it was forced in Fates with that bizarre time skip realm, as long as you don't have to worry about creating child units it should just be the standard FE support relationship stuff.
>Nintendo may want to stay out of all the relationship stuff because of all the controversy it caused in fates
Can't stand this whole issue.

If Awakening got remade now it would probably have gay relationships resulting in the hilarious outcome of having a bad future with no child descendants (including Lucina) to travel back through time because some faggot player made their entire party gay.

HOW TO MAKE 3-13 LESS OF A FUCKING NIGHTMARE
Only level Micaiah, Sothe, Nolan, Zihark and Leonardo. Use others only when they're needed. Level support with Meg/Leonardo to A (+27 to hit) during all this and pre-promote Leo when he caps Skill at T1. With luck, he will get 100% accuracy from the right Killer Ballista in 3-13 even with Ike's leadership stars, so all you have to do is to deny Hawks coming from the right tiles on the upper right where they can go past the gaps that you're covering with shitty unleveled units so that those units don't die. Then you can just one-shot them with a ballista because of how effective damage works. There is also one Hawk that spawns on the left side, but you can turn on the AI on the turn where it's in range and it will kill it in partner phase guaranteed because of how good the archer on the left side is compared to the one on the right side
>it's still bullshit hard what do
Put Sothe with a bronze knife/dagger on one of the sides of the three-gap chokepoints, put Nolan with a beastfoe crossbow on the other and Zihark in the middle. When one side is clear, swap units around so that Nolan faces the other side. If Zihark doesn't die on enemy phase, you can put him forward, but on HM Ike's leadership stars can kill him even through Resolve. Plug all the gaps inbetween which laguz can go.
Oh yeah, some suicidal fuckwits also suggest dumping ALL resources on Jill and just making everything kill itself on her in enemy phase, but I suspect that's going to be really hard in HM because of how EXP works in this game - you essentially get half combat EXP and half of usual BEXP, so you're getting a quarter of the normal mode BEXP in HM and she's reliant on that because of shitty bases. Her caps are alright, so if you don't want Zihark/Nolan, level her.

Conquest is actually decent in this sense, well designed maps, and fates in general actually does have a decent lunatic.

Rev actually has no attempt at balancing and might as well be described as "all the gimmicky maps of conquest and birthright, but with random characters scattered about", and the only thing i can say about birthright is that it isn't worse than the second half of awakening.
