For my second playthrough, I'm going to try and figure out how to get the Male Avatar into Chrom's family by the marriage of their children (the idea of marrying Lissa creeps me out). I suppose I could have FMorgan marry Lissa's son, but I'd prefer for the Avatar to just have a son that marries Lucina, makes it more likely that Avatar gets access to Chrom's royal fortunes.
It's because her ponytails look like deer antlers, isn't it? I can't be the only one that sees that.

Alternatively,
Extra warning 'cause it's a big one
You can marry Emmeryn instead.
She will be available randomly as a Spotpass Paralogue somewhere down the road. She didn't die from the fall, but she was critically injured and when you initially find her she's an amnesiac and has trouble speaking. This improves over time as she has recovered mostly by the time some later DLC chapters happen.
She becomes a potential S-rank support with the Avatar and another potential mother for Morgan.

You could always just have the male avatar marry Lucina.
I'm going to pair up with Lucina on this playthrough
Wanna see how the scene where she decides to kill you plays out. My wife did that as Lucina's mother, and it was heartbreaking
I don't know how the Lucina's judgment scene plays out if you're her mother, but I quite liked it when my Avatar was her husband.
It's little stuff like that, along with a powerful Morgan that has Aether, that made marrying Lucina extra worth it.
She talks about how she knows it is matricide, but how it's for the greater good, etc. You can refuse her judgment in which she'll challenge you to a fight, but you tell her you're never going to raise a sword against your own daughter. Or, you can agree to her judgment and tell her your life has always been hers and Chrom's. Either way, she breaks down and can't do it.
Hard mode is for babbie men. Lunatic is where chest hairs live!
In all serious though, I actually restarted my Lunatic playthrough to try and beat the first few maps in such a way as to slightly improve my chances later on, because you really need everything you can get in Lunatic. Managed to level up both Chrom and the Tactician in the first map, since I figured out a way to play where Frederick wouldn't get all the kills. Remember that in Lunatic, almost everything can kill your characters in 1-2 turns, your outnumbered usually 5:1 at least, and with the exception of Frederick your characters usually need at least 3 attacks at minimum to finish off an enemy. Even with Frederick maps are incredibly difficult, and minimizing your use of him in the early stages requires tons of planning and trial and error.
Also:
Yeah, having the Avatar be Lucina's mom really does add some nice tension/heartwarming moments to the story.
Spent a lot of the day grinding support conversations. Got Chrom finished up to the furthest extent, and have my character about half done. Nobody is married yet; I want to have potential S rank conversations with everyone, then keep that save available for reloading and picking a different pair.
I don't know if I'm doing it right. Somebody somewhere mentioned paralogue 4 as a good one, and in my experience it seems to be. I go there with the two I want to support, pair them up and wait it out. With Chrom and my character being so overpowered, it's easy to either have them solo the map or let the other character level a bit as they block every attack or finish up everyone who doesn't die in one hit.
Does anyone know anything about how the game saves them in the support theater?
Something I read that sounds a bit counter-intuitive...someone said that you can:
1. watch a support
2. save to a second slot
3. reload the first save and watch a different support
4. overwrite the second slot
5. beat the game from the second slot
As far as I know, the supports get saved to the "Support Log" when you save after seeing the support conversation.
However, I can tell you that it won't save them unless you've beaten the game. For example, I watched the S ranks for every avatar plus female possible, but I married most of them off before beating the game. Once the support log opened up, I only had saved the supports I actually had upon beating the game.
Once the support log is available upon beating the game, you can go back to an earlier save (if you have one) and watch any s rank conversations you want, save to a different slot, then it'll show up in your support log. You can continue overwriting that extra save you just made if you want to see them all.
You can also beat the game and keep playing from that same save afterward, in other words step 3 belongs at the beginning (and prior to beating the game, don't let anyone marry anyone else if you want to try all the combinations).
Am I crazy for wanting to play a second concurrent save file with different pairings? I've been too busy to give this game as much time as I wanted, so I'm at 20 hours in by chapter 13, but I am already itching for a second run to start.

That's their evil plan. Fill the game with enough interesting, fun, and lengthy content and gameplay to keep you playing long enough to buy the DLCs.

I wanted to jump right into lunatic before finishing normal but I stopped myself from doing it because I expect I'll want all three saves for reloading to get different pairings.
Finished the third DLC map. Old hubba is the best and the cheeky dialogue is great.
Old Hubba: Thanks for helping me get my cards back.
Chrom: Right. We better get back to....
Old Hubba: Another vision! I foresee money, experience, and weapons!
Chrom: Why do I have a feel like I'm being sold something at market?

If normal as is to hard as hard is to lunatic, I would not recommend going from normal to lunatic at all.
It's even worse. You really don't want to jump from normal to lunatic unless you are REALLY experienced at fire emblem games and just wanted to mess around on normal for some reason. I would suggest just playing hard and limiting your grinding, though you miss out on a lot of supports that way.
So more copies of this game are going to eventually be shipped, right? I don't want to spend my precious SD card space on a game that I'll beat and be done with, but that I'll regret losing my saved game if I delete.

Are 3DS retail game saves included along with the game data, or can you backup the save file separately?
In either case there's no worry, everything on a 3DS card can be backed up easily to PC and restored just as easily, whether just the save or the whole game+save. Your main concern is if your 3DS breaks or is lost and Nintendo can't restore your data.

For physical games, they're saved on the cart. Digital downloads are saved on the SD card.
Right, I'm asking if downloadable retail games obscure the save file somehow so you can't back it up to PC separately. And then I'm saying it doesn't make much difference, it means potentially backing up a gig of data instead of a few megs.

My local gamestop actually has like 4-5 of them sitting on a display shelf.
Edit: The saves are locked directly into the game files. The 3DS also does some sort of encryption on the files, meaning that you can't just pull a single program out of a card for backup. It's all or nothing.
The game keeps giving me second seals and I keep using them. I can't do the main plot anymore, I feel compelled to turn units into stuff they haven't been before over and over again. I'll then feel the need to bench these people when I go back to the main game and recruit an army of schmoes to keep it fair...and then the game will give me more second seals and I'll start fucking around with them...
holy shit my horselover/krom pair up has turned into a black vortex into which all exp is sucked into with no hope of ever being shared among anyone else
seriously this shit is crazy, they are a rock that the waves of enemies break themselves against

I dunno, that sounds weird to me.
So just keep saving over that second slot?
God I don't actually no and there's no way for me to test
Hmm I thought it would only save them upon beating the game...upon review I added step 5 there myself.
If it saves supports as soon as a save exists that contains them, then yeah that totally would work!
However, I can tell you that it won't save them unless you've beaten the game. For example, I watched the S ranks for every avatar plus female possible, but I married most of them off before beating the game.

1. Reach point with supports ready.
2. Copy save.
3. Beat game; unlock theater.
4. Activate supports with Copy1.
5. Save Copy1 as Copy2.
6. Reload Copy1.
7. 4-6.
That about right?

Another random reference: at one point Frederick tells the main character that his body is ready.
