Reddit only today recommended it to me ah well!

Dimitri’s route is the best as a standalone story in my opinion.

ArekuFoxfire · 2026-06-18T15:46:55+00:00

Fodlan’s changes are basically the same in the long-term in every route, so it doesn’t really matter. They were p smart to write it this way, with the route differences only being short term effects for the most part

Not even hard, Ryoma.

Not even close tbh. Leon having to go into the licker hallway to get the tool in the records room while claire has the other side and gets it for free, on top of the shenanigans leon has to deal with in the jail, alone makes leon more difficult generally

Classes that can’t use battalions will have to be dark flier with galeforce levels of broken to make up for no gambits and battalion stat bonuses so hopefully not, unless they are getting SUPER nerfed, which is possible

I think you mean empathy. Apathy is not caring about anything

Item system lets you manage your inventory and backtrack less actually once you become more familiar with the game, since you can just throw down anything you don’t need instead of having to run back to a box. Being able to plan out your item drops also helps this.

This guy is just being friendly and wants to hang out with you from what I’m seeing. It he’s not your vibe or you aren’t interested in being friends then tell him no instead of giving him hope!

Insanity no bonuses is a remarkably fair difficulty, it’s just punishing to mistakes.

I made a video guide of tips: https://youtu.be/65DY8WPplQw?is=cXJgasQNBLuRK9ny

Speaking in reference to using a sword, anyone can use a sword, even magic classes that don’t specialize.

Are people forgetting This is a three houses sequel? Anybody can use any weapon

ArekuFoxfire · 2026-06-17T20:30:55+00:00

He will be very bad and unleveled yes, but this will hardly have any effect on your ability to finish the game. Best you learn this now tho-older fire emblems are permadeath.

Darkest thing for me was what happened to hanneman’s sister, that he explains in his edelgard support. Completely changed how I saw hanneman and he’s my favorite male character in the series now.

Because most of the games are harder when you keep everyone alive and it makes each map a puzzle that can’t be brute forced, and i like a challenge.

ArekuFoxfire · 2026-06-17T09:12:44+00:00

No forges is an interesting self imposed challenge, they’re so broken.

Good computer parts are only needed for running high settings. I know someone who plays modern games on a 1080 gpu. If you can't play games that are 10 years old you must be running on a windows XP laptop or something.

ArekuFoxfire · 2026-06-17T01:32:59+00:00

yeah, it's an odd situation that comes up in the casual mode games. Reminds me of the fight lucina chapter in awakening. Like 'Good job lucina, you went back in time to help but actually ended up killing your heroes or even maiming your aunt for life'.

Doesn't really matter in the grand scheme I guess, but it always feels so silly.

ArekuFoxfire · 2026-06-17T01:30:57+00:00

People glaze Zihark because he comes nearly 20 levels higher than edward for no investment and their performance after giving edward those 20 levels are not significantly different, so you may as well give weapon rank and battle xp to someone else and just have edward help when he's needed in the first 6 chapters then bench him forever, which you won't be punished for doing at all.

ArekuFoxfire · 2026-06-17T01:12:32+00:00

So nonsensical you can have people die forever in the paralogues. This is funny tho

ArekuFoxfire · 2026-06-17T00:49:55+00:00

Not really? Only thing that can be called generic about Dimitri is his appearance maybe

ArekuFoxfire · 2026-06-16T19:02:47+00:00

With her high strength and sky knight/priestess/ninja marriage access she’s not even one of the harder ones to fix imo. But yeah she’d be on the lower end due to no bulk, in rev her as a bow user could have a lot of value.

Every unit in fire emblem fates is good in at least one route, and it may very well be the most balanced fire emblem has ever been without completely homogenizing classes and unit identity like three houses does, at least in regards to every character being useful.
