As good news to Sirus and Tawa, it seems like the Paralogues are level-adjusted so you can tackle them at any time, and they give EXP in addition to being generally easier than the Main Story missions, and they give you an awesome new character as a reward.

So once you guys triumph over the chapter that is bugging you, just get some characters to S rank marriage status pronto, and you'll get missions that'll help train you up and better prepare you for the utter bullshit ahead. You can't repeat them obviously, but it's way better than nothing.

[Sirus]

Hey, it's better than the way Awakening did it. There, the paralogues' difficulty was entirely independent on your own levels. Imagine what I was thinking when I, having managed to pair Chrom with Olivia, got to Olivia's paralogue? High-level promoted enemies errywhere.

[SOLDIER First]

But they were essentially just ranged Knights, Sorcerers with Mire, and a few Assassins.

[Sirus]

I didn't have a single promoted unit myself at the time. It was bad enough.

[SOLDIER First]

I see.
.....Well, good luck, Past Sirus.

Despite being in the UK and probably never seeing this game released here, through particular ways and means I have managed to acquire a copy of the Special Edition and I'm freaking loving it!

Does anyone know, however, if the costumes you can buy are expanded in selection through the course of the game? I currently only have the 'bath towel' option, and I'm desperate to see my character wear something with shoes or boots rather than his bare feet!

Seems like Summer Scramble becomes better than EXPonential Growth or Reeking Boxes on child-recruitment maps in terms of wracking up both Weapon XP (yay staves) and XP proper at the point where all XP you receive is 8.

All those event nodes dropping xp on batches of 10-30. Just remember to keep away from pairing up so you can only trigger XP, Item Pickup and Weapon XP events. That and event nodes will never give XP beyond 99.


Gave up trying to level up Lon'qu!Severa's MAG stat; damned thing takes too long to raise, and I'm only sticking her to Hero class anyway. Morgan and his mum are maxed out. Will do the same to Chrom, Lucina, and soon Cynthia too. Then I can move on to maxing Lon'qu and Cordelia.

Hooray Apotheosis grind takes too long. Then again, grinding on Disgaea 4 for 300% aptitudes all across the board took me a week and a half of tireless gameplay, so I guess that took longer?

I believe that once you upgrade the accessory shop you'll get a *few* new body accessories, but it's not many.
The western version also removed some things if I remember correctly, like the very skimpy swimsuit... because localization. So there won't be many accessories in that category.

Try some of the Einherjar units, like Celica. They get access to every class that's not gender-restricted, so you can make them into very potent rallybots.

I've personally made it a challenge to avoid using such units (and have been killing them off, in fact), which means my rally bots will have to come from the people I have.

CHAPTER 12 BEAT FINALLY

On to chapter 13 and a whole new set of challenges. RIP Effie ;_;7

No please don't say you let Effie die ;_; Her only character traits are that she's strong and she eats a lot, but she's literally like my best character at 37 strength so far.

[Sirus]

She's really squishy for a tank though ;_;
Didn't help that Takumi was able to get in past his knight bros and deal 24 damage in a single round. I figured he was stuck behind them on the bridge.

Well in any case, I reset after discovering that ruffians show up to start looting houses. Thanks game. It's not like I wasn't already having a bunch of trouble just getting out of my starting area.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I might have gotten godlike level ups for her, but I wish that the game tracked kills, because Effie probably has the most significant kill count of my whole team. She was the first to be promoted, and she's a tanky beast that hits like a truck that rules all chokepoints everywhere.

You get Benny in this chapter, another knight, but he's not Effie caliber, despite having slightly better defense growth.

In the chapter you're in, it's only the beginning portion that is hard. If you can get past the tough magic user to the left, you can proceed down and avoid Takumi altogether, and stop the thief before he hits up the first house.

[Tawa]

@Sirus:
Well, you do get a Replacement Effie that chapter. He has more HP in my experience, I replaced Effie with him because she wasn't getting nearly enough of it.

(Argh, you ninja JoshuaFH)

Currently stuck on chapter 20. I love and hate this chapter; the wind gimmick is fun, but screw how it seems to be randomly chosen how the wind appears. And I almost won my second run, too ;_; At least I promoted Elise into Strategist and she is now a physical god rivaling her brother's magical prowess.
On an entirely gameplay-unrelated note, what do you guys think of the soundtrack for this one? Personally, I think it's beautiful, maybe one of the best soundtracks in the series. I like how the music for each side has more obvious influences than in older games; I love the Nohrian music's bagpipes, in particular. It makes it sound a lot more medieval than the generally traditional orchestral music in older games.

I also absolutely love the rendition of "Lost In Thoughts All Alone" played in the "(groans of increasing discomfort)" cutscene. It's so catchy!
