Fire Emblem: The Discussion Thread (keep FE Fates story under spoilertags)

[.Alone]

I'm sad we haven't heard much about it since. I'm confident that whatever it ends up being will be good

Better hope it doesn't become vaporware, because that's all it's been since the announcement. :/

They probably announced the crossover and then were themselves at loss of words of what to do

 

[Raziek]

They confirmed at E3 that it's still on schedule.

Yea yea. Just would have loved to see how the game is coming along. Technically it would be the first HD SMT and FE on the Wii U.

Can't wait to get it!

 

[Spartiatis]

I've never touched SMT in my life. One of my friends recently finished 4 and said it was really good. I'm positive that they will announce some information for the crossover at the next Nintendo Direct. Like always, my mind tells me that I'm going to purchase it on release date. But as most of you agree, a crossover is a crossover and not the actual game you are expecting. Which is why I'm sure that there will be an official Fire Emblem in 2015 or so for the Wii U. The Wii U is still young in its timeline and has a lot to go through.

Exactly. It's not likely to be quite as good as an individual game of either franchise. I'd much rather have a WiiU FE.

 

[Ussi]

Fire emblem in HD? Yes please

 

[Aninymouse]

Fire emblem in HD? Yes please

After seeing just how good Lucina, Ike, Robin and Marth look in Smash 4 on 3DS, I was like... "Wow, Sakurai and Capcom just blew Intelligent Systems right out. This is what Awakening could have looked like... In 60 FPS. With feet."

 

[majora_787]

Welp the emulator decided I didn't need a save file anymore, so I guess I'm starting over a few chapters from my last save state. Super.

For which game?

 

[LasermasterA]

Well I would love to see an HD Fire Emblem. It would be absolutely amazing if they took everything awesome from the Tellius series and the latest Awakening game.

Obviously I would like to get a separate SMT game on the Wii U as well! Sega just needs make Atlus make one. For now I will take SMT * FE hoping it takes the best of both worlds.

It will be awesome!

Starting on FE4, I hear a lot of people say it's one of the easier ones. But man, maybe it's just going in blind that sucks, but dealing with Eldigan sucked. Took me several tries, and after my first attempt failed I realized I needed to go back about 5 turns to before triggering his arrival because that first attempt was unsalvageable. And even then I was startled to find his cross knights didn't turn neutral or something.

Also: I hate that I checked out decent pairings on Serenes before playing. Apparently Lex and Jamke aren't good for anyone but they kick so much butt, I wish I'd paired them with someone. Some of my units are a little lacking in the gold department, and they've got more than they know what to do with because they curbstomp the arena every chapter.

I'd fix that by getting Dew to steal me some gold...but he's still level 2. Oops.

I'm playing FE12.

Eldigan is awful to deal with unless you use the trick I had been aware of in my playthrough, since it was my second playthrough of the first part. Talking to him with Raquesis thankfully makes him leave. Though I *WISH* his own personal knights left with him, though the entire situation I was in PROBABLY could have been averted by me training Raquesis more. Though I'm not sure how much that would have helped. :Y

I knew I had to get Raquesis to talk with him, but mine was/is only level 8ish at the time, so she can only take ~2 hits without dying. Basically my strategy was to plomp Lewyn on a forest out of Eldigan's range, let him go nuts for a turn (praying for adept/criticals to one-round a few of the cross knights), mop up the rest on my turn, and use Sylvia to get Raquesis to Eldigan on the same turn.

It worked (Lewyn with a shield ring is hilarious because dat avoid + defense) but it was a pain to pull off.

I actually got Dew to level a couple times walling a pirate boss by sitting him on Madino, so that's something.

 

[majora_787]

Well uh. I got to chapter 7 of FE12, and it SEEMS like none of the units on the map are capable of moving up. At all.

... I dunno what to really do with this but now I'm worried that I can't finish the game anymore. :\

 

[KuroganeHammer]

reclass arran to a wyvern rider

Edit: or is this a emulator problem?

 

[Gamegenie222]

So I decided to start a Hard Fixed Mode Run of POR. All these level gains are interesting with Fixed mode.

 

[majora_787]

This is an emulator thing. The "movement diamonds" around all units are cut in half. Nobody has any blue spaces above them, showing that the game is just kind of not letting anyone move upward.

Nothing worked to solve the problem, and it carried over to the next chapter (chapter 8). So I've just been hacking the game a bit to even be capable of playing it. After giving some units 30 additional spaces of movement, they can move up one space per turn. On plains or bridges. Even flying units. It's kind of ridiculous. Enemies are just kind of SOL.

lol

do you have a real DS? If so getting a flashcard may be a better option for you.

 

[majora_787]

The issue is this...

The black dot in the middle is the unit, the blue diamond is the move range, and the red spaces along the outside are the attack range. The picture on the left is what it's supposed to act. For a flyer or a unit on something like a bridge or a plain they should be able to move anywhere within the diamond. The picture on the right is what suddenly started happening to me starting at chapter 7. All units had the tops of their move space cut off. They could only move down, left, or right, and their movement diamond became more of a movement triangle. And this applied to enemy units as well as my own units. They simply couldn't move up to do anything. Only down. Increasing unit movement range to 30 expanded the triangle slightly so units could move one space up per turn, but that doesn't change much.

EDIT: Also I am playing on an emulator. Which might be the problem.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

I reiterate

do you have a real DS/3DS? And if so, a flashcard might be a better option for playing FE12.

 

[Gamegenie222]

Flashcards to play FE12 hmm I might have to try that. I hope the card can take ROM's translated in that case.

Also I'm at Ch.19 fixed hard mode right now in FE9 and I remember why I hate this chapter so much trying to get the knight ring .

@ Delta-cod @ Ussi @ E Elyssa Xey Hexen @ Raziek @#HBC | BarDeeZy @ ~Firefly~

The time is now. First come, first serve. Five men enter. Who will survive Hector's Odyssey.

 

[Minato]

EDIT: Also I am playing on an emulator. Which might be the problem.

That's really weird. First I've heard on people having emulator problems for FE12. Maybe you don't have the latest version?

 

[Ussi]

Hector's odyssey? This a modded fe7 run?

 

[Raziek]

No, just Ryker's goofy name for an HHM draft, as usual.

 

[Ussi]

I'll probably fail/take forever at a HHM draft but i'll give it a whirl.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

I want in on this one as well since I missed the last one.

 

[Delta-cod]

I've been bad and haven't even gotten around to the other drafts I've said I'm doing. I dunno if I should take a spot in this one. :x

If you really need someone to do it, I'll take a spot, but I feel like someone more reliable than me should give it a go.

It's weird, I feel like I have the same problem I have with MTG. I love the drafting process, but sometimes I don't actually wanna play through the game. @_@

 

[Raziek]

Alright. Ryker's asleep, so we'll most likely be doing this at some point tomorrow. He wants to draft in Skype if possible, as he's considering recording the draft process & his run.

Can't be less reliable than me. I'm still only halfway through the previous FE7 HHM draft we did. -.-

I fully approve of recording the draft process BTW.

 

[Raziek]

I don't think he wants to miss another moment like when he drafted Florina and Heath out from under me last time.

Campin' out the draft.

 

[majora_787]

Power outs, internet drops, and 21 chapters of being physically incapable of moving up and having to hack to abuse warp and rescue staves later, I finished FE12. That certainly was an experience. 9/10, once in a lifetime experience.

 

[Delta-cod]

I wish I could have watched that playthrough.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

I'm going to create a Skype group with the interested parties (and Deltacod/Firefly because they are pretty much the coolest and can watch). Ussi, I don't remember your Skype name (or don't have you added). PM me?

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Worst patience I have ever seen >_>

 

[majora_787]

If I could have recorded it I would've. It sure was something. I don't think I've ever actually had to play a fire emblem that way. xD
