FE3H Black Eagles Chapter 7 complete.
Gonna mostly omit Free Time because I don't think anything much important happen. Other than Paralogue (Ingrid and Dorothea): Paralogue (Shamir and Alois): Mission: Post-battle dialogue with Edelgard and the class was sweet. Looks like Chapter 8 will have us ~~~ Oh since we're talking rankings. Black Eagles rankings so far: Edelgard >> Hubert > Petra > Dorothea > Linhardt > Caspar > Bernadetta > Ferdinand Good group though and they all have their strong points. Edelgard is just the best, Hubert is a very intriguing character, I especially love his interactions/supports with Byleth and Edelgard. Petra is great. Linhardt at his best would have a shot at 3rd but he often isn't. Dorothea is pretty solid. Caspar is pretty good. When Bernadetta's issues are treated seriously she's great, but too often it isn't I feel. Ferdinand has his moments too. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Now on chapter 16 of Golden Deer. Flying armada still rules the skies, archers be damned.
Also, Lorenz has made the same turn Ferdinand did for me during Black Eagles - initially pompous but damn if he hasn't grown on me as I see more of his supports. --- Bart, with $10,000, we'd be millionaires!

I've tried savingscumming with whiffed 90+% exams. It definitely doesn't work if you save just before the exam. I haven't tried saving the week before and reloading but just waiting until next week does seem to change the result.

so uh Andrew Luck just retired ...huh. I didn't see that coming but maybe I should have? ~~~ Chapter 8 just finished my explore session, rest of the month's free days will be fighting because ahhhhhhh too many things. Recruited: Annette, Ignatz, Hanneman, Manuela Reached B Support but need them to approach me: Sylvain, Mercedes, Lorenz Reached B Support a while ago but I need time to pass for the support to play: Leonie All that's left is Raphael, who is at C support, and by default is my temp recruit. I've got at least a C-support with everyone but Rhea, and a B support (or waiting on time to pass) with damn near everyone too. soon i will have all the people. Stopped on the second free day for now. I now have 4(!) Paralogues available (Sothis, Felix, Hanneman/Manuela, and Ignatz/Raphael) + a Quest Battle + Rare Monster Appearance. Plan atm is to do the Rare Monster and Quest on this day, then Sothis and Felix's paralogues on the next. curse only having 3 free days this month. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

I'm averaging like 4 hours per chapter
Seems super high, but I don't really see how I could cut it down much below three without just skipping a bunch of stuff. Just exploration alone takes forever... --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, it takes a while, especially once you find lost items and you have to run all over the place trying to figure out who they belong to.

As you keep playing you'll learn little optimizations to speed things up during explore. You'll develop a routine or just plain find some things useless and not do them, lol

Blue Lions Chapter 21 complete
They definitely made you work for victory in the battle because of the seemingly never-ending reinforcements. I never really came close to losing (although a couple units nearly got down to 0 HP), but man, it took a long time to get to Hubert. Also, Edelgard went full Altima with her transformation. --- ...

Blue Lions playthrough complete! I doubt I could squeeze in another run before FFVIII HD drops, so I'll probably put it down for now, which might be a good thing considering how much of a time investment a single playthrough is. Don't want to get burned out.
Final Blue Lions rankings: Felix > Dedue > Dimitri > Ashe > Mercedes > Annette > Ingrid > Sylvain I've been told the pairings in the ending can change. I ended up with Dedue/Annette, Felix/Dorothea, Ashe/Ingrid, Dimitri/Flayn, and Byleth/Mercedes. I kind of wanted my choice to be someone from my own house, so I went with Mercedes. I'd have probably gone for Petra or Dorothea otherwise. Black Eagles run will be a tough choice...! --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

LeonhartFour 08/25/19 10:20:34 PM #327: |
Bah, I'm stuck in that zone where I don't really want to start on something else either, so I might just bite the bullet and drop my next playthrough partway through once FFVIII HD comes out. I'm just still really intrigued by this game so I don't want to quit playing it just yet.

man i started near a 6 hour average and it's starting to creep up >_> ~~~ Speaking of, FE3H Black Eagles Chapter 8 Beated. Covered Free Time before so on to the fights. Paralogue (Felix): Paralogue (Sothis): Mission: DK and Solon (knew i couldn't trust you tomas, not an option to invite to a meal? clear sign of a villain... jeralt) peace out, and Flame Emperor pops in to tell us "whoa hey this **** was not approved" then he realized he was in a Fire Emblem game and tried to use the Talk command to recruit us. Anyway then he left and Rhea "surprised" us with the news that the goddess's name is Sothis. Also there's a Christmas Ball coming up. oh and the monastery is being infiltrated *again* and that's our mission. Jeralt tripped even more death flags too and honestly he's beating the odds making it out of Remire's zombie apocalypse so there's no way he survives another deployment with us, he promised to tell us stuff and that can't be allowed. Also I am probably overthinking this but I started finding it very creepy during the Rhea convo when Sothis would offer commentary and then my dialogue options were parroting her. The first time, no big deal, she was asking good questions. The second time though? The "They must be stopped" option right after she declared that set off alarms. It doesn't help that Hubert's B Support actually touched on this a bit too closely --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard!

bah ran out of characters again.
2 more Paralogues opened up and argh still only 3 Free Days this month. Really going to need another month with 4 Free Days or more Battle Points. Anyway, the team is now mostly at Level 20 now (three at 19) but Byleth's skill levels are so trash he can't even apply for any Advanced Class yet lmao. Threw him into Thief for the time being since he mastered Merc. Neither could Lysithea pre-Mission 8. Edelgard remains the shining light of our army because she could accomplish it, albeit needing to pass a 66% chance. Haven't checked (or re-checked Lysithea, no way Byleth got there in one fight) after the mission though so not sure on the others. Shamir was immune from this problem because she was a hacker who joined in an Advanced Class at Level 11 lol. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

I'm at Professor Level B+ and still only at 2 so... I dunno. I've prioritized quests over paralogues because the paralogues helpfully tell you when they expire and quests don't* and I'm unwilling to test if that means they don't.

Ingrid has some laughably low recruitment requirements. I got her before Chapter 6 with no support levels and only a minimal investment in Flying.
My guess is since she tends to be a Pegasus Knight, they wanted to allow players fair access to a flier. --- Bart, with $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like...love! ~Homer J. Simpson ... Copied to Clipboard!

It depends on what you're talking about but it looks to generally be 400-500 points per level of the thing you want. You do get a nice renown boost for starting a NG+ file, too.
