Fix those tags?

Spoiler: info about the person we're talking about (click to show/hide)

I think Rhajat is actually a prior inarnation of Tharja. As in, Rhajat incarnates into Tharja in the future?

In the Before Awakening DLC, they imply that

Hoshido and Nohr are in the past of Ylisse and the other countries. And/or a myth.

Am I the only one who thinks Nyx is possibly Tharja herself? Yes? Okay then.

Seeing as Odin, Selena and Lazlow are the only people that are canonically the same characters from Awakening (not counting amiibo), you probably are.

why do i know so many details about a game i dont own

[JoshuaFH]

I'll see if I can't experiment with the Prisoner system, because in Chapter 12 I actually went in with two fewer units than the maximum allotted, just because the cumbersome crowd of my units and the nature of the stage made them a liability and not an asset. Having expendables to fill that gap wouldn't have hurt at all though.

So I'm confused.  Is Birthright challenging?  Or is it a waifu simulator?

I had fun with Sacred Stones but it was a little too easy.  Actually dangerously easy; the first time I played it all my guys were shitlers cause it was too easy to just park Seth in a chokepoint and let him kill the entire map.

[Twinwolf]

Playing on Hard/Classic, I can say it's harder than Awakening in my opinion.

[SOLDIER First]

Birthright is post-Sacred Stones, have-all-this-money-and-EXP-and-grinding Fire Emblem. Conquest is pre-Sacred Stones, play-the-game-carefully-with-limited-EXP-and-money-and-you-have-to-actually-strategize Fire Emblem.

Holy crap, the GameFAQs board for this thing is a flippin' salt mine. Practically everyone on there posting in a thread that's not specifically about game mechanics is finding something to complain about and silencing anybody who likes the story or characters via the power of echo chambers.

Nyx is clearly what happens when Tharja and Nowi consummate the Boingy Bits conversation.

To my understanding--still stuck on Conquest here--Birthright is less challenging but not overly simple unless you force it to be too easy via Awakening-style grinding.

also shame on you for abusing an oifey :I

D... did you play Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn/Dark Dragon? Sacred Stones was a lone black sheep, rather than the progenitor of an Awacloning series.

Sacred Stones itself also drew from Gaiden, which had a world map, grinding, and infinite-use weapons. (Eat your heart out, Corrin, Alm beat you to it by over 2 decades.)

The AI is proving formidably tenacious at times, making advantageous usage of the pairing system and picking targets intelligently very often. I haven't played Birthright yet, but the game overall is heads and shoulders above previous iterations, in both mechanics, story, and aesthetic style.

Just so long as you pick the difficult that is right for you, there's a wide variety to choose from. While the difference between casual and classic is up for debate, I recommend starting on Hard, as you can always tone down the difficulty at any point in the game once you've gotten a feel for if you're ready for it or not, the only drawback being that you can't turn it back up.

[Twinwolf]

I've only played Hard difficulty, but I find Birthright to be much harder than Awakening. Assuming you don't abuse grinding, of course. Or play Phoenix mode.

[Sirus]

Yeah, the AI actively making use of the team-up mechanics is what really throws me for a loop. Suddenly you can no longer just do a quick once-over of enemy stats to determine if your characters will survive the next enemy phase. You have to take into account every possible order of attack, the position of the attackers, the boosted stats from pairing up...

my minimal use of strategy

[Twinwolf]

Play on Normal/Casual. I imagine it would be easy.
