Fire Emblem Discussion thread: New Forum, New Mystery of the Emblem

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Yes, but this is a total of up to 13 attacks in one turn by one unit, without reduced damage

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Ike paralogue goes hard tbh

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Have you done anything interesting lately @JustSomeWeirdo?

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Up to Chapter 20, ig

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

No I mean outside of VSBW have you done anything interesting lately?

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

I've been doing fine

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Good to hear

Is the new fire emblem engage game good, have you finished or are still playing it?

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Engage is great, haven't finished it yet

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Is the storytelling good?

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

It's fine, nothing too outstanding or anything, but the game makes it clear it isn't going for something like that

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Ike paralogue goes hard tbh

Haven't gotten that far yet, but Chapter 11 is absolutely fun

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Chapter 11 is really good, yeah

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Fun fact, I took out both those Wyrms and all of the ring users; too bad the boss is invulnerable to everything thrown though never tried using the Tiki Bracelet and her fog breath.

 

[HoodedEnigma]

Tiki's DLC handed my butt to me, The constant reinforcements and Dragons that all ignore durability are a pain

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Yeah, tell me about that. Though I really love the Wyvern Riding minigame.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Yeah, wyrm reinforcements that have 1-3 range, ignores def/res, and inflict Freeze are incredibly powerful

Dimitri's Shield Gambit and Etie with a Steel Bow were my best friends that map

 

[TheGatememer]

Etie hard carried that map for me

Don't mind me just posting this here since I see the thread

 

[TheGatememer]

I’m still on chapter 12, so I’m not anywhere close to completing the game, but in terms of scaling, would Alear be 2-A?

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I have not found Heroes scaling or their own feats yet, but I can guarantee that all the 6 timelines might need to have soldier scaling chain merged and God Tier/Divine Dragon/Dark Dragon scaling chain(s) merged. Marth, Roy, Ike, Eirika, are all comparable to each other with just Rapiers and what not, and better yet are comparable to each other via Falchion, Binding Blade, Ragnell, Sacred Twins, and the Heroes Relics' of the three House Leaders.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Well, in terms of scaling

Spoiler

Towards the end of the game, Alear can fight and beat each Emblem in combat, with most of them using their strongest weapon, with the exception of Marth iirc

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Yeah, Marth is officially the strongest of the Emblems if we're going to take the Bond conversations seriously. Also, I already have seen a taste of what they can do against Emblem users in chapter 11

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Anyways, there's also a potentially promising statement towards the end of the game, story spoilers ahead (Safe to read after Chapter 22)

Spoiler

Sombron uses the Emblems to gain "infinite power" and his main goal is to rule over all worlds

Also:

Spoiler

Sombron is able to oneshot Alear prior to this

 

[TheGatememer]

At the very least, they should scale once

Spoiler: DLC LEAK

Veronica is released as DLC

 

[TheGatememer]

wtf is Ike's paralogue

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

It's the survive map from PoR

Also Ike might do something really cool

 

[TheGatememer]

Spoiler: Ike Paralogue

I certainly didn't expect him to just level half of the entire map

By the way, there are more statements that confirm Ike being the strongest lord

 

[HoodedEnigma]

I'm only in Chapter 9 but don't each of the Bond rings say directly they give you the power of the Hero in them when you use Details to highlight the name of the Hero inside them when equipped even The FE Heroes ones, The short descriptor are also slightly unique for each bond ring but the Askr Trio share the same one, Would the Bond Rings mean anything for scaling or support?

 

[TheGatememer]

I'm of the opinion that we can scale the Engage cast to the Askr Trio. Though, it's not confirmed which Book the Askr Trio come from, so they would probably just scale to 2-A rather than Low 1-C.

 

[HoodedEnigma]

I agree to that, Like the House Leaders aren't there end game selves, Although I've been curious if the Heroes lore and cosmology would be worked in more directly with the mainline profiles now, It's already been accepted as canon previously so wouldn't that mean things like the Azura chain holds up for mainline?

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I don't want our spoilers getting too heavy, though I generally think main story portrayals should overall take priority over support conversations and/or paralogues. And certain characters might be more reliable, but Alear legit does consider Marth "The strongest person they ever met" her C or B rank bond.

Also question, what gender did each of you decide to choose for Alear? I chose female because I really liked the hair style and how it pretty much is long enough to touch the ground.

I picked Female mainly because I tend to switch genders when doing first playthrough. Awakening I was Male, Fates female, Houses male, and now Engage with female.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Yeah, I also tend to alternate between playthroughs. I also am sometimes one when I choose first playthrough then the other when I replay on higher difficulty or in Fates/Three Houses case a change in route.

Also, I wanted to bring this up, but I am kind of mixed on the name of the new main villain. It sounds too similar to a certain MLP character.

 

[HoodedEnigma]

Female, from what little i had saw of the character beforehand their voice and personality felt more fitting with the female design though yea i also switch genders between runs, Playing on Classis Hard atm

 

[KobsterHope07]

I am playing Hard Casual because I want to experience the story and I don’t want my units to die. Although I haven’t experienced much trouble besides few Skirmishes where I was very under leveled and I decided it was a great idea to bench the MC, my strongest unit.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Male Alear

Anyways, I just beat the game (Hard-Classic), might do Maddening next

This game is incredible

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

This game is incredible

Personally, so far. I am only halfway through the game since I initially struggled to find it in stores and I have a lot of time spend working and don't want to miss out on the side questing and conversations. But so far, I easily consider this top 10 tier for Fire Emblem but not quite top 5 and certainly not top 3 (FE4, Binding Blade, and Three Houses are a trilogy really hard to beat to me). I plan to remake my ranking of the FE games from least favorite to favorite after I finish the game.

 

[HoodedEnigma]

I have been struggling to keep my other units leveled they became under leveled so easily and The Skirmishes are too high level and the Emblem level Skill is pretty slow in it's own way to since it can only get 2 levels per Skirmish max

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Traditionally, Fire Emblem didn't have grinding methods outside of Arenas.

 

[HoodedEnigma]

Which is why Awakening was one of my favorites i could buy risen boxes and train anyone and play with all my units a lot more, It takes a way part of the challenge yea but it's also somewhat of a pain for a character to not be what i need at the time of me getting them and when i do need them there too weak to be of use
