Fire Emblem: Awakening

So, it bothered me that I had killed Gaius (that and I wasn't happy with the reclassing I had done for some of my characters), that I decided to delete my Save file and start over again. It's not like I had gotten that far into the game already, anyway. Once I get some more characters, I'll do some grinding and then take things from there. ^_^
 
I just got it today, but so far it's really good! The support system seems really buffed-up compared to sacred stones (the only other FE game I've played)

Yeah, there's a lot more depth for sure. I actually prefer FE7 to this just due to how simple it is but complex at the same time. I find there's too much to worry about in FE:A, while in FE7, I can focus on things how I know they are. Certain characters and certain stats, which is what I enjoy about Fire Emblem. FE7 also, in my opinion, had better characters and a better story.
 
Haha, I had planned on playing this last weekend, but then there was the TBT's Easter Hunt, so I did that instead (and I regret nothing!). Still, I need to get back to this game, so I guess I'll see if I have some time next weekend.
 
I FINALLY beat Apotheosis!!!! All I wanted was Katariana. :) Forget about the intense mode of that, that prize is meaningless.
 
I can't even express how much I love this game. Was so pleasantly surprised when it came out. I'm a girl IRL but I'm going to play the game as a guy (Robin) so I can ship him with Lucina. They're both so cute!!
 
There's a LOT of DLC for this game, which I just got last night. But I read that there was one in particular that you could play over and over that allowed you to get a lot of EXP and money. Which one is that?

And which others should I get, to recruit characters? Please note I am on a budget and can only get a small handful.
 
I've been really interested in getting this game, since I need a good strategy game and it seems that FEA offers that and some more.

But I'd like to hear a bit of player's opinions about the game, y'know.

What do you guys like most in the game? Have you beaten it? What level of dificulty are you playing or have you played? Are you guys content with the game? Any pros, any flaws? how the hell do you marry someone omg i wanna snatch Chrom and Lucina for me lmfao

EXPonential growth for exp, golden gaffe for gold. if you were to only get one i'd get golden gaffe because you can net 80k gold in one go and you can use the bonus box teams/spawned monsters for exp grinding to an extent. i'm not particularly fond of any of the outrealm characters because they have no supports and i like character supports a lot, but there's extra classes you can get from some of the xenologues with characters. lost bloodlines 2 (recuits alm) gives you dread scroll which unlocks the dread fighter class, smash brethren 2 (recruits eirika) gives you the wedding bouquet which unlocks the bride class. lost bloodlines 3 (recruits seliph) is alright because you get the paragon skill from it which doubles exp.

So the Golden Gaffe Pack is decent? Is it still available? Apparently I have to be at Ch.4 before I can buy/use DLC xD

the replayability is really great in fe:a because you can change up the character relationships/classes/etc. every time. when i got fe:a i played four times after each other until i finally took a break for awhile to play other games. i've played normal/hard mode both classic and casual because i'm waiting to get a few dlc maps that i want for lunatic mode (they're not necessary but i would prefer to have a few of the maps to make lunatic mode just a bit easier on myself). pros: lots of freedom regarding character building, fun characters cons: if you are a person who has to train all the units it can be a bit much since there's so many characters, the characters' lack of feet, it's not the best story overall (it's still pretty fun though) (you marry people by battling side by side or pairing them up in battles, they get supports through doing this and once they hit support level s they get married haha)

golden gaffe is just an individual map haha, but there's a golden pack that comes with the exponential growth and golden gaffe map. it also has infinite regalia which recruits eldigan and gives you legendary weapons. it's $6 in the store as a pack vs. $2.50 for each map individually. they're still available afaik.

I read that all the legendary weapons are obtainable in the game itself ONCE. With the Golden Gaffe pack, are they re-obtainable? And if so, can they be obtained multiple times?

not actually sure about infinite regalia as that's one of the maps i don't particularly want, but serenesforest says it is replayable. not sure if they are re-obtainable (i'd assume on the side of no since legendary weapons are normally one of a kind per game?). they're all obtainable in game as well. i was just saying that map's included if you would rather go to route of buying the pack over the two separate. tbh, i'd probably save the dollar.
 
I went ahead and got the Golden Pack. I might get s'more later though. What others are "Must-Haves"?
 
How do I access the free DLC? All thats on the list in the Outworld Gate is paid DLC.

EDIT: Nevermind, found out they aren't free anymore xD Were only free for a limited time.

scramble pack and future past are great if you like the support convos. future past is mostly if you care about gen 2. scrambles pack is great for supports for both gen 1 and gen 2.

Yes it is! So you can have infinite Gradivus, Parthia, Valflame, Goddess Staff, or whatever other weapons you want. (I've never gotten a Goddess Staff from it, but it's there.)

As said earlier:
Lost Bloodlines 2: Access to Dread Fighter class

Smash Bretheren 2: Access to Bride class

Lost Bloodlines 3: Access to Paragon skill. (Doubles the experience you get.) You also get Seliph, which is 1 of the 2 male characters (beside children) to get Galeforce. The other one is Jaffar from Spotpass.

Smash Bretheren 3: Access to Iote's Shield. (Removes ALL flier weaknesses. Basically, a Dark Flier would take normal damage from wind magic and bows.)

Rogues and Redeemers 3: Access to Limit Breaker skill. (Boosts ALL stats by 10 except for HP and Movement.)
And when you've leveled everyone up to their absolute highest potential...
Apotheosis: Gives Katariana, who is 1 of the 2 (or 3 if you give it to Morgan) characters to get Shadowgift. This map is mainly a challenge map for when you've beaten everything else.

Since you have Infinite Regalia, I'll add that you get the Silver Card the first time you beat it. The Silver Card permanently halves the price of all items in shops. Happy Spending! :)
 
So I've finally begun playing Fire Emblem: Awakening again. I've finished chapter eight and I know that at the end of chapter thirteen Lucina will join my party. My female avatar is married to Chrom, so she'll be Lucina's mother. Currently my avatar is level 18 or so and I have yet to use a Second or Master Seal.

I'm trying to figure out which skills would be best to pass down to Lucina, other than the obvious "Galeforce, duh!" I mean; I'm playing on Normal/Casual (this is my first Fire Emblem game ever), so I don't think that Galeforce is something I absolutely need. I was thinking Veteran (boosted EXP) and Ignis (extra damage), but perhaps there are other skills that would work very well for her?

Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks in advance. :)

Ignis would be a better skill to pass than Veteran, since Ignis is a from Grandmaster (a promoted class + skill you get at level 5). If you wanted Lucina to get Veteran, all you need to do is just reclass her to the Tactician, and she gets it automatically.

When you want to pass down skills, I like giving Gen 2 kids skills attained at level 15 from promoted classes, since they usually take more time to grind out.

Thank you! That is really helpful! It hadn't occurred to me I could just reclass Lucina to Tactician for the Veteran skill. Also, good point about the promoted classes level 15 skills, I'll definitely keep that in mind! Thanks again! <3
