Yep, took your advice and went in with a skeleton crew of 6 people; 2 flyers (one with rescue equipped), Chrom, 2 mages (that could use rescue) and my dancer to get a second turn out of someone. Beat Grima on the second turn without ever being attacked by anyone. :lol: Just flew up and surrounded him with my three strongest. I let my avatar finish him off.

Yeah it doesn't save after the final mission, just puts you back before it.

Oh strawberry float, I just read up on how side missions are unlocked. :dread: I never realized that's how I unlocked the few that I already have. I really can't be bothered to go grinding old missions just to make some character's relationship improve so that they marry in order to get the rest. Especially now that I've completed the story and have no need for the extra recruitable characters. Not really that much of a completionist.

Why can't it be like previous games? :cry:

If you've completed the game there's not much point anyway as your incentive for doing them is getting really powerful new characters.

Carrying on from the 3DS thread:

Also, make sure you get Donnel.


Is Donnel the Farm kid? He died straight away. He was gooseberry fool. No ragrets.

Will train up Kellem though.

And DD, I'll be doing method 2.


Donnel is the best character in the game :p

He was at the end by far my best unit as a hero. I played premadeath as that's how I've always played fire emblem. If anything it adds more work for myself as losing someone on the last turn of a level is heartbreaking. :lol:

Okay well all this Donnel talk made me restart my game to get him this time round. Only took me a couple of hours to get back to where I was, and Donnel is levelling up nicely.

Not really bothering to level any units outside my favourite group. Is that a mistake?

Not really, though this mainly applies if you don't lose a lot of characters.

In my experience, most characters either never get used or only once or twice, and building up a good core team is fine. I avoid using any characters who are very strong initially (I think it's Frederick in Awakening) as they're useless later in the game, and just make sure I have a mix of character types.
You'll get plenty of new recruits to add to your ranks throughout the game so just pick any that you like.


I'm tempted to play one of them on difficult and without any restarts to see how I do, but I can see myself getting very frustrated with it.

Depends. If your primary group has strong variety and is ably prepared for all threats, you can get away with it. However, if there's a glaring weakness in that formation then you can bet a scenario will arise that will wipe you out.

Mainly I try and vary it up to avoid the risk of squandering exp, it really frustrates me to see a unit reach level 20, not have an item to upgrade their class, then see them continue to demolish enemies with no gain. That exp could have gone to someone else. :x

Tell you what, the characterisation in this game is superlative, even better than previous Fire Emblem's I've played (not many, admittedly). Within minutes I've developed a strong fondness for Sully, and her interactions with Kellam are adorable. :wub:

Nice to see more people getting to enjoy the delights of this. One of my favourite 3DS games. I wonder what ever happened to that Fire Emblem x SMT they announced years ago.

I think they said recently that it's still being worked on :>

Marrying people off is great, some of the couplings are just so lovely. Sully and Kellam. :wub:

Mind you, I was in the process of partnering up Chrom and Sumia and then the story automatically places him with Maribelle. I didn't sign up for that bullshit, she was destined to soften Lon'Qu's heart. :| Other than that absolutely loving the game, taking the time to buy Reeking Boxes so I can properly level units, got some absolute beasts in my party (Donnel has got some serious might behind him, just wondering what class to Second Seal him into, personally thinking of Mercenary).

Same.
Chrom and Sumia are destined to be one.

Yup. I guess because I had only started partnering them (hadn't achieved any rank though) upon clearing Chapter 11 it automatically put Chrom and Maribelle together. There was this baffling dialogue scene after taking out Gangrel where Chrom confessed his love for her and I was all like "What the everloving strawberry float?". :?

At least I have my other couplings to work on (Nowi/Stahl is cute, and I'm liking the dynamic with Donnel/Panne), but still not pleased about it. Poor Lon'Qu, he just needs someone to guide him, gonna see if I can get him with Olivia.

Definitely Sumia. What weirded me out about the Maribelle thing is that I'd never paired them together, it quite literally came out of nowhere.

I'm leaning towards Vaike and Miriel myself. Otherwise I reckon I'm going in different directions with all other pairings. Ricken/Tharja is adorable so far. And strawberry float you, Kellam and Sully belong together.

Didn't realise you could level Donny to 30. :shock: He's going to be an absolute monster when I reclass him. :D
