I find it funny that my Wrys is only slightly worse than my Lena and I'm planning to use him to defeat Gharnef once i get to that chapter for now I'm using him to wall Gharnef out in chapter 15

I'm curious, do the older FE games give any indication to have X talk to Y to obtain Z or do you have to figure it out on your own?
The first few games give you basically nothing. Genealogy of the Holy War is the first to give you any hints in that department (and even it has more than its fair share of stuff you won't find without prior knowledge). The first three games give you no clue that talking to enemies to recruit them is even an option (probably in the manual, which most westerners won't ever get to read).

Sadly my Wii U disconnected from the internet during one of my uploads so I don't feel like upload the rest of them.

Who dares disturbs my PPV night. This better be a good one!
Moving on, yo Kotor Kotor have you seen this/did you make this?


I couldn't agree more. Seriously, why would someone even think of spending the rest of their days in the barren lands of Hoshido, when they can surround themselves in Nohr's bountiful harvests. The choice is obvious is it not, Zantetsugun Zantetsugun ?

So I was playing 2v2 FG with my best friend @Izayoi today. We ran into a Robin and a Lucina. The first few matches were serious but after the 3rd game we ended up having a T-bag party and just completely fooling around for the entire two minutes.

It just further proves my point that Robin mains are really chill and awesome. You guys have all my respect.

I was going to share a video my old high school friend made about Robin in Smash... but then he decided to drop the f-bomb in his match against Mega Man. Thanks, NintendoPoptart!

Agreed my Nohrian companion! My choice has never wavered, not even for a moment! I stand firm beside my true family and kingdom! TOGETHER WE SHALL RIDE TO VICTORY!

I presume this also applies to getting bonus items and extra chapters, correct? Also, did Shadow Dragon and MotE alleviate the lack of indicators that were in the originals?

Come, Zantetsugun! Let us convert these lost followers of Hoshido into the path of the true light!
Let us begin with the Nohr national anthem!

Yup, for example FE1 as I recall it gives no indication that you need to find the Star and Light spheres and have Marth bring them both to a specific village in some chapter to get the Starlight (which is required to get Falchion) - unless I missed a village or something. Gaiden chapters are usually fairly well-hidden in the games that have them - Awakening and Fates having them literally be presented to you on the world map are the exceptions. The objectives to get them aren't outright stated, but you might get vague hints such as "we need to beat the enemy before they escape with <powerful item>", which would mean beating the chapter within 15 turns or so to get the gaiden chapter/powerful item.

Also, did Shadow Dragon and MotE alleviate the lack of indicators that were in the originals?
I don't remember if Shadow Dragon did, but New Mystery definitely fixed it, with base conversations that provided hints similar to those in PoR/RD.

We shall conquer them all, and show them the true path of righteousness!

And now a tribute to the Royal Nohrian Siblings!


*GASP*

Who is spreading these lies?! Tell me, for I shall smite them with THY LEVIN SWORD!!!!!!

:135:
These are no lies, boy! I speak only truth! And you cannot smite me with my own Levin Sword, for it is at the smithies for repairs. Nohrian smiths are the best in the business in fact!

"And now for something completely relevant (isn't that a shock)!"

Too bad Nohr gets screwed over by having zero Myrmidons/and forgetting that defending forces tend to get the upper hand in wars :^^^^^)

Toby Fox's music is making me want to buy Undertale, and I'm poor!

Ah, alright then. Good to know they managed to fix that. That vagueness in unlocking stuff in the older FEs is one of the things that has put me off from playing them in the past. I do plan on playing the GBA games at some point, though.

On a side note, Ike's face on your avatar puts a grin on my face for some reason. Almost looks like he has a grim expression.

Go on and continue to believe in the lies of that Queen. Your ignorance shall be your downfall.

You do not understand the glory of Nohr! To face us is certain death! But it does not need to be so, for ours is a kind and forgiving king! He accepts all into his kingdom without hatred our prejudice, no matter who they are, what they believe, or where they come from! Saint Garon welcomes all with open arms! Only those who refuse reason, and seek only chaos, war, and evil are permitted no mercy! Yet even they are given one last chance to repent, offered personally by our great king! We trust our king as he trusts us, and that is why our bonds of friendship and camaraderie are unbreakable! YOU WILL FIND NO LIES HERE!

I would still recommend Genealogy of the Holy War, though. The important items are fairly straightforward, as well as recruiting characters (except for one tricky one near the start), and the really well-hidden stuff you can get by without (if you want them, just look them up on Serenes Forest or wherever).
