    I've played ghost ship twice already if I remember. It's hard but not insurmountable, though in the past I brought Neimi (or Innes)

    I'll use Lute until such time as Knoll is ready to go

    in my experience neimi isn't even very good at fighting the boss, dussel does more with his silver axe. are you playing on hard or normal

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    It's been years, Jars, I can't remember what the boss is, much less what I did to it.

    And Normal. I don't feel like putting in the focus to beat SS on Hard, and I like the extra elbow room to experiment with teams without too much pressure.

    i feel like bringing all the grado traitor squad along works well on Ephraim's route, they've got some interesting supports with each other

    (Natasha/Knoll is one of the ones that goes into more detail on the story, fyi)

    Love that OP, @SilverWind . On that thought, re: Brother dates: A post I found on Tumblr which perhaps you might enjoy

    I personally identify most strongly with text entries 1 and 3

    Edit: This lady is singing the song of my heart, here: Post is titled: Fuck Ninjas

    Ahahaha, how relevant! <3 Everyone hop aboard the Xander train choo choo <3

    It was pretty different for me, in that I was in hook line and sinker pretty much immediately. I didn't read or watch anything about Fates, except for the E3 trailer, up to the point it was just about to release, and I had no idea or opinion on any of the characters. And then @Wyborn loaded up a youtube video with the Chapter 6 cutscene flash of all the siblings' faces, and the moment Xander frowned that little extra bit nineteen seconds in my brain went "He's so worried! Why is he so worried, he is the most worried about you out of all the people there"

    aaaaaaand sold, nobody else stood a chance, I'm not even the least bit guilty

    (That Xander is a merging of both A) (leader type) and B) (knight type) did really help move things along as well)

    I didn't even mention that you can't recruit innes yet!

    I have a +hp -luck corrin with monk subclass, got him renewal and switched back. I gave him my two talismans so he can have 30+ in both defense and resist and 50 hp and he is trucking right along now. couldn't do it with kanna because anna has crap defense. I would try it in lunatic except I can't beat fucking chapter 2 with a +hp corrin

    So I'm doing Mitama's paralogue

    And an archer walks up to her house

    And caves the roof in, crushing her to death

    What the hell?

    Beat the paralogue

    Azama comments that Mitama's might have slept through her house being razed

    Meanwhile, in the alternate dimension of my last attempt, she lies crushed under the rubble of her collapsed roof

    Mitama

    Haiku don't need to rhyme

    And I'm not impressed with your writing. You want to impress me? Write a ghazal or a sonnet.

    Or a sestina. Writing those is nightmarish.

    I'm gonna talk straight with ya for a sec. Spoiled for Inquisition talk. Not really plot spoilers, but it just feels corteous to spoil talk about a different game when I'm in the Fire Emblem Thread.
    I enjoyed Inquisition quite a bit! Good game! Gets a little repetitive with the gameplay, and the story does unfortunately suffer a bit after the Wicked Eyes, Wicked Hearts chapter. Still, overall solid game. But if I'm honest with myself here, the real reason I enjoyed that game as much as I did was that I treated it as Cullen Date Simulator 2015. The game really shines in its interactions with characters, I think.

    For the straight dudes/ queer-ladies-who-don't-mind-playing-dude-characters/ people-who-are-cool-roleplaying-as-a-straight-male-regardless-of-real-world-gender-or-sexuality among us, there's a strong case to be made for playing it as Cassandra Date Simulator 2015

    I think Mitama can actually survive the house being caved in, like Azama says. I resetted when that happened to me, just to be safe, but I think all the cave in does is delay her joining you to the end of the level

    All right, all my Conquest core team members have their ONE TRUE LOVES except for poor Keaton, who is the odd man out. I'm gonna have to pair him with one of the bench warmers to unlock his kid's paralogue.

    Choices:

    Charlotte
    Azura
    Mozu

    Opinions?

    I appreciate Xander but have come to the conclusion he's too honorable and distinguished for the Corrin I play.

    Also I've answered my own question from earlier and made my castle an easy seize and added it to the list!

    Also I would pair Keaton with Charlotte, I remember it being pretty decent?

    Edit: Nope I was thinking of Charlotte/Kaden. Well, Azura/Keaton is pretty good!

    Who are your Conquest team one true loves?

    Charlotte and Keaton is aggressively nonsense and Charlotte hates his guts

    I dunno about Azura or Mozu but they can't be worse

    Lessee here...

    Silas X Camilla
    Odin X Elise
    Corrin X Xander (because I'm the worst)
    Beruka X Benny
    Effie X Leo (it should have been Benny!!)
    Arthur X Selena

    That's all, I think! Everyone else is benched.

  • Butler For Life #1Butler For Life #1 Twinning is WinningRegistered User regular
    I did Charlotte x Keaton and it is extremely disappointing from a writing standpoint

    Can't speak to the gameplay benefits of it, but I wouldn't recommend it

  • JansonJanson Registered User regular
    Yeah, it is bad! I was confusing Keaton and Kaden. She has better supports with Kaden.

    @Didgeridoo those are some solid matches!

    Charlotte/Keaton is a pretty good support line, IMO.

    Apparently Azura likes fox boys, so maybe she will like wolf boys too?

    Mozu is the one true queen of Nohr and does not need to marry into the Wolfskin line.

    Mozu/Keaton is good.

    It's not a "mozu feels bad about not contributing/Mozu cooks food" support, so that already made it better in my eyes.
    They're also pretty good for each other, which is to say Mozu seems legitimately interested in keaton, whereas I felt like my other keaton pairings were usually along the lines of "Oh no what have I done to this poor girl, i'm so sorry. No keaton stop giving her literal trash."

    Also Velouria is great, aptitude makes her greater.

    How's Arthur/Selena? I was going to try that one, but I paired her with Keaton instead

  • SilverWindSilverWind Registered User regular
    Mozu/Keaton is cute as she recognises that he is a country bumpkin like herself. I went with that pair in Rev :D

    I love so many of Mozu's supports. She's a super useful character for that reason alone!

    Hinata's like a Birthright Mozu, his are mostly great, too.

    I treated the first Dragon Age as Alistair Dating Sim, so I'm pleased at the prospect of getting a new person to focus on. Fates is just... so neverending, though. Must try to advance the plot once again... I'll beat the next chapter tonight.

    It's exhausting amounts of game.

    It doesn't help that Birthright is practically begging you to have Ryoma easymode every problem you see past the halfway point, and a lot of revelations maps are gimmicky garbage.

    But Conquest!

    Most of Conquest's maps are pretty alright.

  • Butler For Life #1Butler For Life #1 Twinning is WinningRegistered User regular
    I'm at chapter 19 of birthright after beating conquest, and I do not yet feel like I've hit the too much game mark

    But when I play revelations and start having to repeat paralogues and go through supports I've already seen, I suspect I'll deal with a bit of burnout

    Do the child support convos get customized based on the mom? I thought they didn't, but I just did one with Mozu and she spoke in her informal country style.

    Yeah. The general content of the convo is the same but it changes a bit based on the mom's personality/speech pattern.

    Yeah, they did the same basic thing in Awakening, but it's much expanded here, and the kid's responses tend to change too. It's like every parent is Walhart!
