i been sitting on fire emblem for over a day b/c i cant decide between boy or girl protag. girl protag is cute but boy protag is the only one that can get together with the anime bbs

I'm on Hard/Classic and I think Yoshi is, too. Finding it to be "just right".

Making a protag wasn't hard for me because most of the options are kind of bleh. My thought process was:

* Build 3 because I'm not a kid, sheesh!!!!!
* Male because better hair options
* Face 4 because haha look at that sad face
* Hair 3 has the right balance of decent/silly and plus I wear my own hair like that sometimes
* Keeping the white hair, the rest look fucken goof troop
* Male 2 voice because uhhhh...

I did all that and ended up with Mortimer, a respectable tactician with a knack for defense but weak skill skills.

Tenda, you're only a mission in, aren't you? Not too late to start again on Hard!

I'm going to try a few more times to do this mission, then if I start to get frustrated I'll restart on Hard. No sense not getting the fun out of the fruit! Also re: protags, I made a girl with short hair and the least loli of the available builds. Not perfect, but good enough!

I started the EO4 demo, it frakkin rules

I'm debating now: EO4 or Fire Emblem. Tough choice.

Yeah, Hard/Classic. Build 3 seemed to grizzled for me and I guess I'm just used to animes being youthful looking. It took a bit to get me to look actually male without build 3, though.

Actually interested in what other people did for their stat options, though. Went with Speed up, because it's a defensive option that works for both magic and physical that also can potentially give you attack power, too. Gave myself Resist down; not perfect but honestly none of them were.

I took Skill up and Resist down, I think ... might have been Strength up

Resist down seemed like a logical choice because there tend to be less spellcasters and when there are spellcasters they tend to be a priority to kill and easy to kill

I am not yet regretting choosing Lunatic/Classic, once I figured out what Pairing Up actually was possible of contributing things got a lot easier. Especially because so far every unit except Frederick is only good for getting killing blows off Frederick or pairing :V

Fire Emblem protip: reclass Henry to a barbarian and turn battle animations back on.

Etrian Odyssey 4 esrb rating: "one line of suggestive dialogue states, ‘I gotta lady boner harder dan steel for dat stuff!’"

get hYPE

I got a man boner for that game that's gonna be in my mailbox in a couple of days.

can't pick my copy up until Friday when I get paid but gET HYPE

[Spoiler]

Spoiler for Hidden:

the game doesn't come with an instruction booklet? what the christ

3DS game have manuals built-in that you can view from the main menu.

Game + book + CD get, by the way.

#tfw when you are about to finish a mission you poured extra time into to make sure you got all the XP for killing each and every unit and then the last unit happens to have a Hammer you didn't notice and one-shots Kellim

I am enjoying Fire Emblem a lot now that I've got in like a half-dozen missions and all of the actual features are unlocked. Man, do they shower you with free crap though! It's kind of cool to get all the throwback items, though, I just can't get into enough fights to make use of all of them that I find. :P
