They're improving the mechanic from Echoes. Rather than HP, you just expend more weapon points. This makes you be cautious if you want to use up your weapon even faster for the skill, especially the stronger ones. But... what about Legendary Weapons? 2 minutes ago, vanguard333 said: Then the church (or factions within the church) are probably going to be the bad guys. Or there'll be a three-way war. Or one of those outer countries that had names but weren't part of the school will be bad guys. They never did explain what the evil was. Betting that it's the Church. Fire Emblem has always been humans vs divine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Nightblood Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 So we have unit levels, Weapon? Levels, Class Levels, and Battalion levels. I assume Class skills come with class levels, while basic strength come with unit levels. Which begs the question on how level caps are going to work in this game.

I actually like that and hope the game will be less like Fate with how black and white that game was and tries to be more like Radiant Dawn (without falling in the pitfalls that game had). 7 minutes ago, SageOfAnys said: Sorry, I'm just annoyed because I hated how you were pressured to keep Corrin in a sword-using class in Fates in order to play optimally because of the passive buffs the Yato carried.

Couldn't you just keep the Yato in your inventory and still use the buffs? EDIT: Whoops, I only saw now that someone said this. Feel free to ignore my post.

Aiddon Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 So they're going full Persona with the school elements (not surprising considering Tokyo Mirage Sessions). Good, I'm all for a military academy game (especially after Valkyria Chronicles' 2 story was a mess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this cute boy named Sylvain @Landmaster (I also thought he was hot!) with orange hair and broad shoulders. I'm gonna be on his team (looks like Edelgard). Other thoughts after re-watching not on a laggy stream and letting it digest. I wonder how much of the story is going to be the beginning 'school' part and how much isn't. I have a feeling maybe that's the MOST developed part (especially considering the delay) and so they focused mostly on that part. I'm sure the school will remain the home base, but it doesn't feel like they're gonna remain 'at school' forever. Or at least I hope. Some characters hair do look a little bland on second glance, but others look really distinct and cool, so I'm hoping they continue to polish the models. Also I have favorites from each house, so I do hope they all combine at some point so you can choose the favorites. Not really getting the Pokemon or Harry Potter vibe, personally that people keep mentioning. One, houses was around long before HP, and there aren't many bold/vibrant colors to choose from, so blue/green/red/yellow tend to be most often chosen to represent crests/houses/teams/etc. Also, didn't even NOTICE female Byleth's design, but now that I saw it, I can't unsee it. It's pretty bad. Good thing I never play as the female character. Haha. Edited February 13, 2019 by Kiran_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lief Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I liked how we had free reign over customising Alm’s villager friends, choosing specific classes for them. This game looks to be giving you a LOT of characters to customise, but I’m not sure how they could balance the game with this much freedom. Looking at the UI it looks really complicated, you can set goals for class sessions and create group tasks, and weapon ranks have been expanded to include armor, horse riding, and Pegasus riding. Reason and Faith seem to be magic, so I guess Light magic is back? Hope the next trailer explains gambits (commanding generic grunts to do attacks) and what they’ll be effective more. After seeing all the new characters, I’m getting more used to the new artstyle, but some characters still look strange like Petra and her fish mouth critical cut in. In game cutscenes are much smoother than Studio Khara’s choppy Echoes movies, so I hope there’s more of those in the game. The game looks noticeably better compared to the E3 trailer, though I’m disappointed that the MC doesn’t seem to have a customisable appearance.

Book Bro Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Honestly the character designs apart from Edelgard and Claude aren't doing it for me. They seem so generic. Its not even just the uniforms, the faces and hairstyles are all so... boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely some cool story implications though, especially because Byleth seems surrounded by darkness in that scene, and FE heroes normally don't get heavily associated with darkness. I understand, though I'm pretty sure those passive buffs applied as long as the Yato was in his inventory; it didn't matter if he had it equipped. I agree about the darkness thing. That'll be interesting, especially when you also consider Byleth's black armour (why am I now suddenly tempted to name him Zelgius and give him blue hair in one of my playthroughs?) and outfit. It kind of reminds me of the trailers for Final Fantasy Versus 13 (the game that ultimately became the far worse game Final Fantasy 15) and seeing Noctis using all those clearly ghost-inspired abilities (phasing, teleporting, summoning his ancestors' weapons, not to mention the in-lore connection between his abilities and the goddess of death in the original version of the game). It'll be interesting to see what they do with it. I wonder if the fact that it's a whip-sword when the seeming bad guy uses it, but an ordinary sword when Byleth uses it, is plot-relevant in some way? I suspected that the sword might be part of a dragon spine or the end of a dragon tail because it's a whip-sword and because of the particular notches on one side of the blade.
