[ForteGX]

Yes, yes it does.

*slaps forhead* How could I forget the ever lovable Mercenary/Hero class?

Oh, I was just wondering; what are your favorite songs from FE7?

I love "Rise to The Challenge" (29) and "Softly With Grace" (30).

(Oh, and anyone who says "Together We Ride" will be shot)

[TobiasMar]

Same with Forte, exept I also like "A knights oath" (forgot the # XD)

And I also hate "Together we ride". *gets out machine gun*

[Linear]

o.O Wow, that's a lot of in common you two...I think. =P

[ForteGX]

It's not that I dislike TWR; it's a great song, but it's also in most of the FE games; and, IIRC, I asked for FE7 songs.

I think "A Knight's Oath" is #47. Another great song. ^_^

[TobiasMar]

Yeah, but has anyone got a Florina's sword mastery to "A" when she was a FalcoKnight? I did once! XD

[Linear]

@.@ I though this was about FireEmblem...erm...nvm.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

I don't really use Florina. Farina pwns her mercillessly. Her sword mastery is A, and Lance is S. Supports with Hector at A (THAT TOOK FOREVER!!!!)

That, and the best FE song ever = Door of Destiny. It pwns.

Quote

Well, whats your favorite class? Me= Warriors and Generals.

Uh, my favorite non-Lord class is probably Great Knights (can only use axes, coming back in FE9). Also, Swordmasters rock, though Guy isn't anything special. . . .

Hear about upcoming FE 8 and 9? What are you wishing/looking foward to?

[Linear]

I have too many favorites. So...dont ask me what's my favorite class! :ph34r:

[Valistrix]

In FE8 & 9, I would like it to be longer. Because when you completed Eliwoods tale you go onto Hectors but ti's not that much different and if your character dies you get them back next battle. I think Swordmasters are the BEST, there speed is brilliant and they can use the Wao Dao

What the---great knights!?? :mellow: What the heck are those??

[Valistrix]

I think there in FE4 and as BLL said Farine is the best pegy knight ever! Mine is level 20 and killed off Loyd, Linus, Nomadic guy and Jerme in Light

[ForteGX]

How do you play on Jerme's map? I keep getting Kenneth's.

[Issac_Zero2]

If your mage characters combined have lower levels than your fighting characters
then you will fight Jerme.
In which you can get Harken if you fight Jerme.
Harken is an ok character but not even close Raven...

[Blade Lord Lyn]

A Great Knight is a unit on a horse, promotes from an Axer Knight. They have high strength and defense and HP, but low res, speed and skill.

[TobiasMar]

Well My brother found simaler results to those when he upgraded Lowen. o.O

[Blade Lord Lyn]

But GreatKnights pwn. . .

Not as much as Master Knights though (can use every weapon except dark, all weapons except for Light start at A).

[TobiasMar]

Thanks for the info; I guess I'm doomed to a life of fighting Kenneth; this time I really focused on my physical attackers rather than my magicians...

(My Raven owns!)

Oh, speaking of which, I was reading some of the old support convos, and stumbled across Raven and Pricilla's. He WAS joking about the whole "take you as my bride" thing years ago, right? It was just a child's game?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Take that convo however you want.

However you want.

*coughs* Anyway!

Random tip! You stand no chance beating Hector's hard mode without units with high res!

[Linear]

:P Thanks...for the advice? >.>

[ForteGX]

Hmmmm...

My Peg Knights and Magicians are awful. Please don't comment. I make very n00bish mistakes in FE.

BLL would puke if he saw my file.

[Linear]

Both of them are powerful to me. =S Maybe is because I train them a lot.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

I abuse magical people now, I even had to resort to using Erk. . .

Picture this.

Me = 3 lords, Florina, Fiora, Serra, Erk, Canas, Rebecca (I ALWAYS use her).

Them - 53 units, mostly Valkyries, with Sleep, Berserk, and Thunder. All level 13 (with GOOD stats).

You have to kill every unit on the map.

That's the kind of stuff HH (Hector hard) makes you do.

[ForteGX]

I've neglected them...I may have to rely on...*gasp* Pent!

*cries*

*prepares to be scolded by BLL*

I think there are too many anima magic users...=\

[Blade Lord Lyn]

. . . .

You should know better.

*Flaunts FE knowledge*


I WANT FE9!!!

Monsters, choosing what class to promote to. . . it looks like it's definately better then FE7.

[Linear]

o_O I like magic users! The only problem is that they dont have a lot of hp, and they dont have good defense...

...


O.O yeah.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

That can be made up for with Angelic Robes. Typically, I prefer Peg Knights, decent Def and great Res, great Mage Killers overall.

[ForteGX]

And don't magic users usually have decent avoid rates/stats?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

USUALLY. . . Canas definately isn't one, I'd say the healers. . .

Rebecca is the BEST dodger in the game though.

[Linear]

Yes, I have to agree with you on the dodging! >.> Lyn is the best dodger and attacker in my group...

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Rebecca is a beast.

High Speed and Skill, light weaponry. . . .

I ALWAYS use her. (heh heh)

[Silo STATIC]

From here on out, anything that's official with each series is pinned untill Max can approve of that decision. I am just merely promoting the topics, but if it is connected with a certain popular series, I shall pin it up anyway. That is all.

[ForteGX]

Okay, BLL; I started a new FE file again (again); Eliwood's tale (practicing with the easy stuff).

My team is very balanced this time.

But I have some questions:

Which is the best Cavalier?

Kent, Sain, or Lowen?

Fighter?

Dorcas or Bartre?

Archer?

Will, Rebecca, or Rath?

Do you prefer Raven or Guy?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Cavaliers = I PREFER Sain, but don't get to comfy with them. Pegasus Knights are much more useful (Fiora's coming great for me).

Fighters = Bartre, though Fighters are utterly and horribly useless, Bartre has high speed and strength. And thats it. V_V *remembers HH*

Archer -REBECCA!!!! (If you have Fire Affinity, she'll be even better!)


I like them both, so I alternate. One play I'll use Guy, the other I'll use Raven. I prefer Raven though, they weakend Swordmasters so much. . . .

[Silo STATIC]

Actually, I'd say Will is the best archer. Let him handle a Steel Bow, and he's king.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

That's a good one. . . .

Wil is to Rebecca as Lucius is to Serra. Wil and Lucius - High Strength, Rebecca and Serra - High everything else (and decent strength, 24 max for Becca isn't bad).

[ForteGX]

I'm on Ch...16, I believe, and Rebecca's currently my stronger archer.

Blade Lord Lyn said:

Fighters = Bartre, though Fighters are utterly and horribly useless, Bartre has high speed and strength. And thats it. V_V *remembers HH*

Well, he should be more useful when he becomes a Warrior, right? With the addition of using bows?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Yep. Your Affinity is Fire, she should be really good.

[ForteGX]

How about Erk? Is he worth raising? Or should I focus more on Pricilla, and eventually, Nino?

[Linear]

@.@ I level up all of my characters...it took a long time...! *dies* -.- I took a long time to get them all at the same level or above. @.@

There was a place my friend always got stuck on. But EVENTUALLY he won... ^_^ And that chapter was so easy too...

ummm... Canas is fast AND skilled, for a druid. And he can heal himself minus vulnaries and elixirs, so that's good too! ^_^

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Meh, I only try Canas in HH. . . And even though he can heal with Nosferatu, in low level's, he'll be attacked twice. . .


*looks at Forte*

. . .

Priscilla Lv 9 Valkyrie

Mag 17
Skill 17
Spd 20
Luck 25
Def 12
Res 27

AT LEVEL 9!! *Does a little Dance* She's almost as good as Nino, and a better healer to boot. Definately use her, and Serra if possible. (That's my Priscy, FYI)

[Blade Lord Lyn]

. . . .

I was replaying HH just now, and I forgot about those weird Druid Shamans. . . they're Druid's with really high Magic and crappy other stats. . . and never miss. NEVER.

*sniffs* They killed Florina. v_v

If you're going to play HH, use magic units. A lot. Value thy talisman as well.

[Linear]

Yeah, yeah I know. :( This discussion about FE is making me want to play it again. (And I still have homework to finish...) ... ^_^

[Blade Lord Lyn]

*Does another dance*

I have off tomorrow, it's Mercy Day (Never heard of it before, either).

To stay on topic. . .

I'm officially no where to close to finishing 100% supports. Whose tried it?

[ForteGX]

Why does everyone have tomorrow off?!

Yar...

Back on topic:

Should I use the 2 Hero Crests on both Raven and Guy, or should I save one for someone else?

Recommendations?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Yeah, that's a good thing to do if you're going to use both of them. It's not worth it to use it on Bartre or Dorcas, if you really want to, use an Earth Seal.

FE9!!!!! (Cutosy of FEP and FESS)

Trailer!

Epharaim official art. Teh Lord with Teh Lance, first time ever.

Still don't know why her name is Eirik, but I like her already <_< Especially after that awesome attack in the trailer.

Larchel, or Rachael. She looks pretty cool.


Click them and enjoy!

[kryptonite]

BTW, my Priscilla hates me. :lol: She is as slow as a snail! O_O

[Linear]

My Priscilla is actually pretty good.

[~RangerOfFire~]

I dont know. It's you're choice if you want to buy it or not. If you want to buy, go and buy it. If you dont want to, just stay at you're home...or, something. You're choice.

[ForteGX]

I don't think that helped...

In short: yes. You should buy FE; the gameplay is great (albeit a bit unforgivable at times >_<), and from a visual and audio standpoint the game is excellent, too.

Plus the story and characters are awesome! :wacko:

*hurls wad of cash at ROF*

Buy! Now!

A wad of cash is something I really do need. :wacko:

[ForteGX]

Who doesn't? :wacko:

But seriously, FE is an awesome game; especially if you're the intellectual, strategic type (if you like playing games like Chess and such), because this game requires A LOT of planning and thought (hence it being called a "stratagy" game...).

[Linear]

Yeesh. Ok, ok. Go and buy it. >.>
<.< It'll be cool if you bought it.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

. . . . . . .

I changed my mind about Eliwood. . . .

I had my best Eliwood this play. And my best Hector. And a decent Lyn. . .

not to mention a powerful Raven and Fiora, a beastly Rebecca, a monstrous Priscilla, and a pretty good Heath.



. . . . . .

[Linear]

It's "amazing" how you can change you're mind about a character BLL. :wacko:

[ForteGX]

Well, take into consideration, that in FE, you never get the same character twice.

I've always had a good Eliwood, though; equipped with a Silver Sword, he's a decent unit.

But, hey, what do I know? :wacko:

[Blade Lord Lyn]

B) What do you know?

RNG can be a blessing or a curse. . .

Eliwood stat growth, the percent is the chance it has for going up. If it's above 100%, it will definately go up.

Quote

HP 80%, Str 45%, Ski 50%, Spd 40%, Luk 45%, Def 30%, MDef 35%

So, he specializes in HP? Either way, most of his stats were high, his Luck was an unnatural 28. . .

*smiles at RNG*

[Venus_Man1]

I bought the game today and is it cool or what?!?!? I love it so much.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

*Looks at amount of pages in topic*

I think a lot of other people think it's cool too.

If you got any questions, you know who to ask.

No, I don't know.

Lol...I had A file where everyone had amazingly good stats...Most of my team had like 3 stats that were maxed out...Lyn had Speed, Strength, Defense and skill
And everyone reached Level 2o promoted pretty quickly...Just use all the good people and try to bring as least people as possible...Levels up much faster...

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Well, I'm going for supports, so in Eliwood's Normal, I bring a ton of people, since they let you bring 16 in some chapters. I'm 57% done now, I just finished Bartre/Canas. Funny support :lol:

[Valistrix]

YES!!! Finally this morning at 09:07am I have beaten Hector mode!!! Ok now I might give FE a break...NOT!

[Elliott]

I recently dusted off my copy of fire emblem (I think I threw it against a wall a few months ago, lol j/k). I'm up to chapter 16 now, it's pretty tough, usually takes me a few tries to pass a chapter without losing any characters, 13x was especially challenging.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Lol Agatio.

4 more days until those lucky Japanese people get FE8. . .

A few more months 'til we get it. . . .

I'll probably talke to Vincent ASM, he's getting it. . . . *sighs* We need to wait for all the goodies. . . .

[Mallick]

I haven't read anyone's posts........

I finally got Fire Emblem replaced so that I could actually play the game past

??? (Thats what it appears to be but its Lyn) said:

Are you awake?

And it is great! I am having trouble though......I can't get past I think its chapter 8.....with the Ballista......I passed it twoce but then Lyn would die in the chapter where you get Sain and Kent's old teacher guy......HELP!

[Elliott]

Keep your weaker (defense) characters out of range, and attack it with sain or kent as they have high movement and attack. Don't send cavelry units east as there is a mountain. I usually send Lyn their to keep her out of the way.

[Mallick]

In chapter seven I ALWAYS lose Sain or Kent T_T.....any tips there?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Erm. . . don't use them?

FE8, FE8, FE8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is up to date. I missed one person V_V. But I'll get her in my next playthrough.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/BladeLordLyn/FE9mugs.png

[Elliott]

Whats wrong with Sain and Kent, I have promted both and the kick ass!

[Blade Lord Lyn]

They are to specialized. . . see the blond guy on the 2nd row, all the way to the left? His name is Frank, also a SocialKnight. I promoted him to GreatKnight, and he is a monster. Sain and Kent are nothing before him. . . .

*sighs*

[ForteGX]

FE8 now has a lord that uses a spear, right?

Jeeze...first Hector, the axe-weilding lord, and now this...it was bound to happen someday...

Is Lowen a god-awful paladin choice? I know that Kent is fast, and Sain is strong, but what's Lowen's specialty? Balance?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

He has amazing Defense. Again, FE7 has the worst Cavaliers in my opinion. . . .

The male lord of FE8, Epharim, wields a lance. His sister, Eirik, uses a Sword.

[Venus_Man1]

This game is so good. Im on chapter 23.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

You'll need to be specific. . .

This topic is for all "Fire Emblem" games. . . so, which Fire Emblem?

[Mallick]

Probablt FE7, I can't find FE8 in any stores though :mellow:

[Blade Lord Lyn]

*cough*NotoutinAmericaoutasarom*cough*

[Elliott]

I like lowen, sain and kent, They are my 3 favourite characters (along with dorcas, lyn, guy, erk etc. :) ).

[ForteGX]

My finishing party is definitely far from anything that BLL would suggest, but they did get the job done...

3 Lords- (Promoted)
Lowen- (Paladin)
Oswin- (General)
Erk- (Sage)
Pricilla- (Valkarie...holy crap! She is good! :))
Guy- (Swordmaster)
Raven- (Hero)
Matthew- (Assassin)
Will- (Sniper)
Canas- (Druid)
Lucius- (Bishop)

Well...those are my good units...and I don't remember their specific levels; they're probably lingering around in the fifteens and such.

[Valistrix]

Blade Lord Lyn, on Oct 11 2004, 06:06 PM, said:

*cough*NotoutinAmericaoutasarom*cough*

Hmm. . . Interesting team, actually. I personally dislike Guy, the RNG HATES him, but maybe you got luckier then I did. . . yes, Priscilla IS really good, worth getting her Anima Magic level to A. Lowen is. . . Ok. . you do have weapon triangle for him, so that works. Oswin, tch, I prefer Wallace, though I don't like armor units, you always have to use the boots so they can GO somewhere.

Raven is good to, but his Def and Res growth is always HORRIBLE for me, hopefully this came out better for you (above 10). I don't like Matthew the Assasin. His stat growth isn't that great, he always comes out REAL bad for me, so I use Legault, especially in Hector's Hard mode, though he may come good for you. That, and you took who I call the "safe" Archer, Wil. Rebecca is "better" you can say, but some times, she comes out horrid, in which you'd rather you use Wil.

Your team seems more prepped for Hector's Hard mode, your using a lot of magic user, and units you get from the enemy. . .

I like it!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/BladeLordLyn/Myrrh.png Fear my Myrrh, the Queen of Dragons, equipped with her DragonStone (which gives her the bonuses)

[Valistrix]

Ok sorry BLL, to me Guy is one of the best swor users in the game, after Lyn of course. Priscillia was my best magic user of all, as was Lucius, ok I might as well put down my best players.

3 Lords promoted
Guy-Swordmaster
Priscillia-Valkeyrie(think that's how it's spelt)
Lucius-Bishop
Erk-Sage
Wil-Sniper
Rebbeca-Sniper(I just love bows)
Dart-Beserker
Karel-Swordmaster
Raven-Hero

Well there you are, I just think bows are the best out of all, don't know why I just do.

[ForteGX]

I know I'm not BLL or Eugine or MW, but I tend to steer clear of any pre-promoted units ('cept Jaffar...). And yeah, Guy was actually pretty good to me; him and his monster critical hit rate.

[Venus_Man1]

I forgot to take Guy with me. Poor me. Will is really good I think.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Rebecca>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wil.

It's safer to use her if you're Fire Affinity, however.

Starters
Eliwood

Serra
Priscilla
Nino
Rebecca

Kent
Sain
Lowen
Hawkeye

[Venus_Man1]

Rath is kinda good too. Oh yeah, if anyone of you have offical art of Heath, tell me.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Rath is an embarrassment to the Nomadic Troopers. His growth is horrible (at least for me). Best chance if you have a Dark Affinity.

[ForteGX]

Ummmm...you can't acquire any other Nomadic Troopers...can you?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Well. . . Funin no Tsurugi (that one with Roy) has three, to which Rath doesn't compare. His daughter, Sue, is a Swordmaster on a horse when she is a Nomadic Trooper.

Rath and Canas, exclusives of their classes. But Canas is GOOD.

[ForteGX]

I think FE7 over did it with the amima magic users.

We have:

Erk
Pricilla
Pent
Nino

And of them, only two are really valuble...

Isadora and Marcus is horrible...

Isadora: Overall good character but stat growth and attack is bad...

Sain, Kent: Good characters. High movement rate and stats maxed out for me...

Mathew: Very good character...Level him up good and he shall become good...Promote him and he will be even better than Jaffar.

Wil: Bad archer...

Prescilla: In my opinion, a pretty good character. But Serra can outdo her easily...

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Priscilla ain't no Larchel, that's for sure. Serra does outclass her easily though.

Isadora does have potential though, she can have quite high speed, enabling for easy double attacking. . .

Marcus is a good meat shield for early in the game, and he's most useful in Hector's Hard mode, where he fulfills his Jeiganess by having a Silver Lance

[kryptonite]

Canas stinks for me, but I have... no choice... no other dark user... @_@

Rath pwns for me... Oh, that's right! I was born in August! (Darkness) -_-

[Issac_Zero2]

Canas is very good. Stats easily max out...
Only problem for every spell caster is their movement rate...
Rath is so-so...
He can potentially be strong but its better to replace him with better characters...
As I always say, "The less people you take into battle is better meaning more experience for the fighting characters...
Besides there aren't that many good characters...

[Venus_Man1]

Im also born in august. I don't see what's so bad about Rath. I think he rocks. And Will is good too. Every characters become good if you level them up mutch......

What affinitys are good with Wind affinity as i'm born in may?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Erm, I think you mean who has a Wind affinity, the only one that sticks out for me is Lyn. . .

The thing is, FE7 growth rates aren't that great, they really make you rely on affinity. Which is why characters like Rath or Florina, who have affinities that are only 1 month, are not as easy to use as someone like Nino (who has 2 or 3 months with a Fire affinity).

[Issac_Zero2]

That true...But what I mean is that when I say "good" I mean that their starting stats are good and their growth rate is on the good side...

[Venus_Man1]

I see.... Well, I started a new file training Lyn much more. She is already level 10 and im on chapter 8. She is very good in attack, but have no defense and HP.

[kryptonite]

Same! But I was uber-lucky, not with the wind affinity... (She maxed all!!! But HP (52) and Defense (...9.))

Wind? Ones that stick out:
Lyn
Matthew
Sain
Wil

[Venus_Man1]

Chapter ten and she's level 12. She's freaking good if you train here. I wonder if she will be good with a bow.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

I don't like training Lyn with Bows, its not like she needs it. I tend to leave the arrows to Becca. Each to their own, though.

[ForteGX]

It doesn't hurt for Lyn to be multi-faceted, though. I mean, it's not like there are many common swords that can strike from a distance ('cept the Rune Blade and Light Brand, but those are rare).

[Venus_Man1]

Cool.... Swords that can attack from a distance. But if she can't ge any better with a sword you might as well train her with a bow, right? Who becomes best: Rebecca or Will?

[Valistrix]

If you asked me I would say Wil is way far better.

[Venus_Man1]

Dang..... For the moment, Rebecca is the strong one.... Dammit. Anyway I'll train Will then I guess.

[Mystic]

I would say wil too. I tried to train rebecca... let's just say it didnt turn out too well. I would rather train matthew though. He is strong once you get him into an assassin... unbelievable! I beat chapter 27 with only matthew, and he went from a level 1 assassin to a level 20 assassin in that stage alone! I beat the game countless times. I wouldnt have been able to do it without matthew (he beat nergal for me)

Cool.... Swords that can attack from a distance. But if she can't ge any better with a sword you might as well train her with a bow, right? Who becomes best: Rebecca or Will?

Rebecca will ultimately become stronger...She has better stat growth and usually her speed, skill, and attack max out. Her attack is usually lower than Will's but archers really need speed, as they are a huge target to the enemy...

[Venus_Man1]

So who is the best? Can't decide.... But matthew Iam training. He rocks.

[Mallick]

I was playing FE on my computer (yeah...I know) and I was kinda looking at the pictures...look at them!
http://img100.exs.cx/img100/6455/huzzah.png

look at how little detail are on thier faces!

[ForteGX]

What was the point of that?

*ahem* Anyways, IZ2 and BLL strongly suggest using Rebecca as your main archer.

(But did I listen? Noooooooooooooo :()

[Issac_Zero2]

Mathew is a weak character when he is a theif when once he becomes an assassin he becomes even better than Jaffar...
And the collosium is the ultimate training place...I leveled up all my characters to full there...

[Venus_Man1]

Isn't it kinda dangerous? They might die....

[Issac_Zero2]

Never happened to me...
But it is risky...So you gotta be careful...I trained there so long...Soo many phases...XD

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Hm. I don't arena abuse often, especially since I play hard mode often. I usually level up in Victory or Death, like the reinforcements (i.e. Nino for leveling :D)

On the archer/bow topic. . .

It doesn't hurt to get Lyn to a respectable C in bows, so she can use Killer Weapons. I just perfer keeping her sword pure.

Wil is generally a decent Archer, his growth is always solid, and you can rely on him no matter what.

However, if you're willing to take the gamble on Becca, it's well worth it. For a Fire Affinity (such as myself) Strength, Skill and Speed max easily, while she has a respectable Res and Defense. For a non-fire Affinity, her speed and skill still are maxed easily - you'll need a support to make her even deadlier in battle. My preference (as I finished her supports) is Nino - two deadly teen girls with S rank weapons, lovely. O_O

[Venus_Man1]

Cool. Sounds really great. Can you tell me where you get Nino? I've forgotten. WOO! Now im on chapter 16X! CANAS! W00T!!

[Valistrix]

You get Nino in Chapter 26 if you have Eliwood talk to her then have Nino talk to Jaffar to go to 26x. After completing that you get Jaffar.

[Venus_Man1]

Oh, okay. Jaffar, is he good? I know matthew is much better, but I still wonder.

[ForteGX]

Although Jaffar is a pre-promoted unit, his starting stats are pretty decent.

I know this question is pretty much "blasphemy against FE", but, how do you get all of your units at 20/20 at the end of the game? I've beaten it 3 times, but each time, I end up at roughly 20/10 or 20/15. And this is WITH Arena abuse (around 80 phases of it in Ch. 24 :P).

:lol:

Please don't hurt me.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Jaffar is. . .decent. He's the only Assasin guaranteed for high strength.

EDIT: @ Forte

Actually. . .

Arena abuse is not needed. At all. My personal method of leveling up is "Ambushed by Morphs" abuse, or "Victory or Death" abuse.

On the chapter "Victory or Death", it takes a good 15 turns to reach Limestella. Afterwards, the chapter will seem empty.

If you haven't defeated Limstella, after several turns, a large amount of reinforcements appear in the top left corner, the 5 forts in front of Limstella, and the bottom right corners. These appear every turn. I use these to level up, and I'm not sure if they stop coming.

[Issac_Zero2]

The units eventually stop coming and even then, you gain so much experince from the "respawning" enemies that you will eventually out level them, so that's why I train in the collesium...

[Venus_Man1]

I thought thoose reinforcements were endless.... guess not... but chapter29x seems fun. Shop all you want :joy:

...Once, I unknowingly beat it in 11 turns...Then I reset and beat it at 20 turns for maximum EXP!!! -_-

[ForteGX]

A simple question: where can I find myself a Light Brand?

[Valistrix]

Ummm, I think it's either the second chapter you Vs Loyd or Lius, or the second last chapter. I just don't know.

[ForteGX]

I know which chapter you're talking about, Link. But Lloyd/Linus don't drop the Light Brand, they drop an Iron Rune...

-_-

[Valistrix]

Oh, sorry, my bad. How about you look on a Fire Emblem site, or GameFaqs.

[Venus_Man1]

You have any good? I would really like too one.

No, Harken has a Brave Sword. Jerme drops the Light brand

[ForteGX]

Darn it. How do I get to Jerme's map? I asked before, but never really got an answer. It had something to do with doors.

[Issac_Zero2]

I answered that question already a long time ago...
It depends on your characters levels...If your fighters (ex: Raven, Eliwood) are higher level then your magic characters then you will fight Jerme...

[ForteGX]

Hmmmm...

Is it a waste of time for me to level up Bartre or Dart? Warriors are good because of their brute strength and ability to use bows, and Berzerkers have a good critical hit rate...but...

[Mallick]

Wow! You guys are FE.....computers! I wish I had this knowledge!

Anyways...I haven't even beaten the game once! I am still in lyn's story!

[Blade Lord Lyn]

^_^.

Meh. . . I know you can get a Light Brand somewhere. . . Just use normal magic.

I don't use Dart, and I don't LIKE Bartre. It's up to you, Forte.

[kryptonite]

You get one in the desert...

[Mallick]

Hey Krypto! anyways...

Go on Google search, and look for Fire Emblem guide

I believe it is the fourth one down...click on it and its a good guide...

You dont use dart? Trust me, he makes a far better Berseker than Hawkeye.

(Oh yeah, the Pirate upgrade item, the Ocean seal, is found 2 spaces to the left of Merlinus on Hector mode, I recomend you use a theif to find it)

[Blade Lord Lyn]

I tend not to use Berserkers. Hawkeye's Killer Axe usually gets tossed to Raven, if I'm using him. Or Hector.

[Valistrix]

Hey has any one played Fire Emblem Eight *coughihavntgotitforrealbutasaromcough*, I will not give the link where I got it from for obvious reasons and it is in japanease but still the same old features and class, but theres one class that looks like a Raven and a Dorcas together, plus new icons for the lords.

[kryptonite]

I played it... I'm on 12 and it's starting to get hard... (9 was hard, since I didn't get Amelia and missed the dragon shield!!! ;_^_^

Well, Dart is good... EXTREMELY fast and strong... @_@...

[Issac_Zero2]

Yes...Dart is a good character...Although I'm not fond of Axe Users, Dart is fast, strong and defensive...He has potential to grow really strong....

[ForteGX]

This has absolutely no bearing on the topic at hand, but while we're discussing Berzerkers...

What makes Hawkeye so special that he gets his own sprite?!

[Issac_Zero2]

Hawkeye isn't special...Infact...He's a horrible character...I dispise promoted units (except for Jaffar)...
Hawkeye is a very slow and weak character...The only reason why he seems powerful is with his Killer Axe...

Harken and Karel and Karla are good too! :)

[musicman2059]

I've completely messed up my party due to Marcus-overuse >_< The farthest I've gotten in the 10 months that I've had this game is chapter 22, and I'm stuck with a level 3 Eliwood, a Level 4 Lyn, and a Level 8 hector.

The rest of my party is really unbalanced, too, focusing everything on Kent (Level 16/3), Oswin (Level 18/1), and Rebecca (Level 11, 12, or something other)

(Note: When I give info in a Level x/y format, x = maximum level for their original class and y = current level for their promoted class)

Maybe I should just restart.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

I know about the x/y format, its commonly used among FE players.

It's OK, musicman. It doesn't help that the "Pros" at Nintendo Power push Marcus use as well. It took me a little while to realize Marcus paled in comparison to everyone else. . . .

[Silo STATIC]

I think this has been gone over before, but, who's the better Druid class? Canas or Nergal?

I vote Canas--he's just too kick-arse.

[Valistrix]

Yeah Canas rules! But I prefer Nino and Erk, my two best sages.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

I'm not big on Shamans. FE8 gave us Noel, he wasn't that great. Canas isn't anything special unless your an Anima. . . I say Nergal.

On the other hand, Juan was a GREAT Summoner.

[Mallick]

I FINALLY am on Chapter 10...... ^_^ stupid not good at FE capabilities...

[Silo STATIC]

Anyone got some details on Aion (sp?) on Chp. 18x? The guy keeps dodging my melee and long-range attacks (not magic) ... :wacko:

Oh yeah, and about Canas. In time, he can be a really good Druid, maybe better than a Sage, but still.

[Valistrix]

Ok SILO I had this problem but to me your best bet is to kill Kishuna and have someone with a good Res go up and make Aion waste his Bolting then use magic on him.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

O_O

I hope you're joking Link.

Kishuna HELPS you. And using Magic against a Sage is like hitting a General with a Slim Sword. No Damage.

The reason he's dodging your attacks Silo, is because he is sitting on a terrain advantage area. Use someone with High Skill, like Lyn, Rebecca or Eliwood to drain his HP. If you are using a Pegasus Knight, it'll make life even easier.

Haha, the good ol' test.....unless Silo already saw....and did it.....without knowing, that would be bad!

[Blade Lord Lyn]

It would. If he's been using Marcus, Aion would destroy him.

[Valistrix]

The new Marcus in FE8 in my opinion is Seth.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

O_O

Your joking, right?

Seth isn't a Jeigan - he's an Oifaye. That means he ROCKS. Which he does. I leveled him up in later chapters - didn't want him to take EXP.

[Valistrix]

Oh well I am on Chapter 4 (the ones with zombies) and I only use him in emergencys at the moment. Where do I get Joshua on FE8?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

You get him next chapter. You get Natasha at the beginning, and you talk to him with her.

Marika's better though.

[Valistrix]

Ok that proves my point that female units are kind of better than male. When do I get Marika?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

You don't get her for a while. Don't worry about it now.

What did you do to Epharim's mug?

[Valistrix]

I'll let you off this once Tida but please don't answer questions to me again.

[ForteGX]

Okay...back on topic...

In which stages are the hidden shops located?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Various chapters.

The first two are located in the chapter "The Dragon's Gate". There is one in an indent towards the upperleft corner, and there is one in the very bottom right corner - a forest.

The next one is located in the chapter where you get Heath (doesn't stick out enough for me to know its name). It is in the upper left room, a decorated tile.

The next one is located in the chapter "Four Fanged Offense". In the Linus version, it is in the forest on the Island. I don't know where it is on the Lloyd version, because I never fight him O_O.

Those are the ones I know the most.

[Matthias]

Arggg... no offence or anything, but I liked the original Fire Emblem better. When I saw Roy and Marth in SSBM, I went crazy, but they changed the names in the new Fire Emblem. :P Atl east the new one was actually in ENGLISH! :)

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Actually, Marth is in one and two. The skirt wearing one, at least. The english Fire Emblem is actually the seventh in the series, featuring Roy's father, Eliwood, and his best friends, Hector and Lyn.

[Mallick]

Eliwood is Roy's Father? Thats crazy! What system is 6 for, anyways?

I think it's for GBA in Japan, i'm not sure about U.S

FE6 is for GBA...And Unfortunately, Roy is no better that his father (in terms of stats)

Oh come on! Elliwood is awesome! So is Roy, probably......Do you know if it will come out in Canada? err....America?

No...It most definately will not...

Quote

Lies. All lies.

Roy destroys Eliwood. Absoulutely no comparison. Roy is a really, really bad Lord. True, Eliwood IS the better Lord. However, upon promotion. . . Roy's stats soar. He's almost as easy to max as Eirik. And add in the Funin no Tsurugi, and he's a god.

[Issac_Zero2]

Heh...
Came out bad for me...Either way, I treat Roy as I would treat Roy, respect, but FE6 is way too much like 7...

[Mallick]

ROY said:

Father?

Or something like that

Eliwood said:

Yes, I am son. See? I am standing!

XD, smart, Eliwood, smart.

[Valistrix]

Eliwoods is Roy's father but then why in FE6 is Eliwood old and in FE7 he is young?

[Silo STATIC]

Piers diamondberg master, on Oct 23 2004, 12:54 PM, said:

Haha, the good ol' test.....unless Silo already saw....and did it.....without knowing, that would be bad!

I already know the effects of Kishuna's magic seal, and I used it to my advantage. I'm too smart to let Aion use his Bolting magic, since I tested on Kishuna to see what would happen, and Aion barely missed Lyn.

I'm already on Chapter 24 (having killed Fiora and deciding to level up Florina instead), and I have the Heaven's seal. Well, my best bet is to give it to Eliwood, since he's possibly much more powerful that way than a level 14 Hector (I know, I've given him the "stereoids of experience points" there). Right now, Eliwood and Lyn are both level 7, so I've got some work to do.

Well, not without asking which Lord is best for giving the Heaven's seal to. So, any advice ... ?

[Venus_Man1]

Someone have a good startegy on chapter 24 (Linus)?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

@ Silo:

For shame, for shame. Fiora is dead. *sniffs*

Anyway = You have a problem. I think I've said this a few times throughout the thread, but in FE7, your Lords are the centerpiece of your army. They should be at level 20 each, give or take one or two (usually, my Eliwood is a level or two behind - its just positioning). It'll be difficult from here on out from the way you've been playing - your best bet is to take less units than usual (two or three less), and attack with your more powerful units, then let one of your Lords finish off the enemy, preferably on a terrain that gives them an advantage. Eliwood should be your main focus - he'll promote no matter what after a certain chapter (as Hector in his story), and he CAN be one of the weakest or one of the strongest units you can get.

Your first Heaven Seal, I suggest, should go to Lyn. She's your most powerful Lord, learn to send her alone into armies.

---

@ Venus Man:

This is a pretty easy chapter, you have to beat Linus. If you've been using an Archer (and they're promoted) good for you - your life is that much easier. Rebecca is the better choice, she can evade the attack of just about anything, so that isn't anything to worry about. There is a house on the very right with an Earth Seal - send a flying unit, or mounted unit to take care of the units over there, and grab the house. The rest of your army should be fighting overall defenisvely, eventually the reinforcements will slow as you approach him.

Quote

Eliwoods is Roy's father but then why in FE6 is Eliwood old and in FE7 he is young?

It is because storyline wise, Fire Emblem 6 takes place after Fire Emblem 7. Fire Emblem 7 is the prequel to six.

[Venus_Man1]

So I should let the enemy just come too me so I can counter attack?

Either way, I'm doing fine on my own. I've killed off Bartre so far (I've used a seperate save file after the desert chapter just in case I want to get Fiora back), but it doesn't stop me. About the Lords, I'd say you're a little too obsessed, since I was right on the nose when I thought you'd choose Lyn. No offense or anything, but what if I can finish the game my way? I've got the basic concept for not killing units and using items sparringly, etc., and from there, I might prove you wrong about my problem ... ? :P

Sorry, I sound like Agatio. Just the thought of being told that the way I fight "sucks" in the sense is a rather annoying aspect. Who knows? Maybe I'm doing better than you, maybe not.

I've been keeping the less units aspect in mind, since I've tried it once, but I never felt any fulfillment about it ... like I'm missing a part of the strategy. You know how the fortune-teller says to use those with winged-beasts (preferrably Heath & Florina/Fiora). But, I guess you'll say that what she tells you isn't good enough to finish the job. So? I'll find out my second time around ...

Here ends my rant/explanation for my dissapointing fighting style in Fire Emblem.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

:P.

In my opinion, the first priority, which stands over everything, is keeping your units alive. I don't know why, but I get kind of sad if one of them dies. Normally, I wouldn't care to much if your Lords were underleveled *looks at Marth*, but FE7 has a big problem. It's "legendary" (I.E. Rienfleche, Excalibur) weapons AREN'T effective against the final enemy. This poses a large problem, as Hector and Eliwood do large amounts of damage at high levels (Lyn hits for 3), but at low levels, the enemy will attack twice, which doesn't help the fact that no matter what, it'll do 37.

Of course, it's perfectly possible for you to go through the game in any method, and I'm not going to impose on you.

@ Venus Man = What I meant was, play and move defensivley. That's all I can say, I basically laid out that chapter.

I see.... I guess I go hide in the woods ^^. Do someone have good arena tips?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

You don't need it. I don't like how a lot of people just sit in the arena to level up their units.

[Venus_Man1]

Isn't it harder to get many units to get to high levels if you don't use it?

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Not really. I tend to use smaller groups than the game suggests, so its never a problem for me.
