I haven't got my copy of the game yet (thanks Gamestop) so I can't give a true comparison, but all the games in the series play the same when it comes to combat mechanics, classes, etc. The weakest of the series that I've played so far is the one they released for the DS and even then it wasn't bad just not as good as the others they've released stateside.This game is amazing. Are the prior games in the series anywhere near this good? Have to say even the 3d works wonders in this game, there really isn't anything I don't like about it.
Easily the best Fire Emblem I've played.Not entirely sure why gamestop is getting so much heat for the release issues. Gamestop does not control shipments, and Nintendo already came out with a statement blaming "shipping issues".
Either way, I still don't have a copy! When shipments started having issues, BF put the brakes to the order, and got me something else for V day instead. (Mega power ranger collection on dvd, fucking awesome.)
I'm jonesing hardcore though; I want to have super human children man.
How is everyone liking it? My facebook feed is filled with friends going insane over the game, so it's terrible. =(
Yea, I actually started over because I realized I'd overleveled a few beyond their last skill gain so wanted to go back and make sure I was getting everything I had planned for the character in question.Yes, paired fighting is awesome. When paired there is a percentage that you dual attack and a percentage that you get a guard. I believe these increase as the support level increases. If you're never going to class change, then I'd recommend leveling to 20 before promoting to get the most stat increases. This is the first FE where I did a lot of class changing as galeforce is OP and completely breaks the game.
Yea, I guess I am not paying a shit ton of attention of stats etc, but Chrom is a force for me, akin to Frederick. Sumia with Frederick makes him attack twice, and Chrom with my char means we always dual attack, and have lots of blocks. (I know it's a chance to happen but it *always* does.)Chrom can get Luna (lvl 5 great knight) or Aegis (level 15 paladin) but outside of that the rest of the skills he can get are rather lackluster. He ended up staying in the back for me after I got galeforce with everyone I could. Once just about everyone can move twice, it was hard for him to keep up. I leveled him to 20 and then promoted him and I think he still ended up level capped at the end.
