Oh tell me about it! In one of the fights the enemy only had 1%..........1 fucking% chance to do critical hit they one shot one of my units with critical, meanwhile Amber also had killer lance with 38% chance critical hit and it rarely does critical.
Same here - I've been clearing all the skirmishes as they pop up, and have been trying to level up my B team in the process (since my A team is wiping the floor with these goons and getting little EXP). But then when I go back to do story missions, they're a cakewalk. Will probably do another 6-7 main missions now to catch up.
Yeah, Now, I'm only doing skirmish that area gold corrupted or training since I need the money lol.
I’m also trying do skirmishes but at that point most of skirmishes and training battles are advance class level 5 which can be very tough at times.
I'm currently playing on hard and man, some battles can be very tricky but god damn Lucina's Bonded Shield is life saver.
I'm still playing on normal and I'm still using the rewind multiple time because someone died, even though I brought my strongest party member and pretty overleveled.
I'd keep getting them stat boosts. There's supposedly some way to drop them to level 1 also. Don't leave anyone at max that you plan on using.
I think you can reclass to the same class using second seal. Not sure though
I can confirm, I did that with Alear’s Divine Dragon class.
I'm currently in Chapter 15 doing DLC maps. Camilla's map was tough.
I kind of agree, I'm really enjoying the crap out of the game but no one should go in to this game for its story, there isn't much there. I would say its kind similar experience with SMTV, FANTASTIC combat and exploration but there is barely character development in the game.
Camilla is awesome. Its tempting.
I like how they doing the Emblem DLC, other than Edelgard/Dimitri/Claude, most of them you have to beat each Emblem in battle in order use them and each have unique maps.
I feel like this with most Nintendo games. And Nintendo always focus on the gameplay, story is always afterthought. So I already accepted the story in Engage is nothing special lol. I always like the support story more in FE than the main story.
I see you’re a man of good taste as well. Although I’d say Path of Radiance and Radiant dawn together make the best fire emblem game. Hell of a story, I doubt they’ll ever surpass it. At this point though, I’d prefer a full remake with some QOL updates.Perhaps, but mind you Fire Emblem is developed by Intelligent Systems, and Nintendo only publishes it. Hence why there are FE entries with stronger emphasis on story, same with Monolift Soth being the ones who develop the Xenoblade games.
I‘m hoping the next entry has the perfect balance. Three Houses had strong story, cast, and battle gameplay, but the school stuff was too much and could have been simplified. Engage though has strong gameplay and no fluff, but the characters and story do absolutely nothing for me.
Or they could make it easy for themselves and bring Gamecube games to the Switch Online service as Path of Radiance, AKA best Fire Emblem, already achieved that perfect balance two decades ago.
Monolith Soft are the most different since they are the most recent and famous for the story. Intelligent System have been with Nintendo since their beginning.Perhaps, but mind you Fire Emblem is developed by Intelligent Systems, and Nintendo only publishes it.

There is nothing wrong with that, problem i have with the story complainers(in many other modern JRPGs as well) , critics are unfairly punishing Engage for focusing on the core gameplay design rather than the 'narrative' , and because its not Four Houses
)
From what I saw, most people that didn't give a chance to Engage because of the character design. They don't like the toothpaste color of the main character and the design is more "anime."There is nothing wrong with that, problem i have with the story complainers(in many other modern JRPGs as well) , critics are unfairly punishing Engage for focusing on the core gameplay design rather than the 'narrative' , and because its not Four Houses
Intelligent Systems made a worthy Fire Emblem game imho, one that improves on the technical and visuals aspects over its predecessor, and while its also simplistic on the narrative side and 'lacking' some features(that were divisive among the fans) , it is also a high quality strategy game that anyone can enjoy, im having a blast paying it and say its easily one of the best games in the Switch lineup, game is high quality.
I also find bizarre, how Three Houses with such poor graphics and looking ugly as sin on the Switch, got that level of praise while not acknowledging at least how Engage made an effort to upgrade the attack animations, textures, models, etc. Sure, we don't play these games for the visuals only, but alot of effort and care was put into making FE Engage look as good as it does, but it seems everybody assumes its much worse than Three Houses instead of giving it a chance.it also doesn't need 3 campaings
To me the characters are what's important, i don't play these games for the narrative(if i did, i would have missed many of my favorite games ever lol )FE Engage does have a clumsy plot with silly dialogue and awful VA, but i let it pass because the game is so fun and deserves praise, for what its worth i like how they cleverly include many fan favorite characters into the lore of this title, while making it its own thing, its basically Fire Emblem Warriors but done well (i want to play the Warriors versiom of this game
I havent seen total numbers, but I think it’s more how quickly they throw characters at you in this one than there being a huge amount. At first I was a little iffy on the characters, a lot of them are goofy looking as you said. There's a certain charm to them though that’s really growing on me. They’re so vibrant and really harken back to character designs from the 16 bit era to me.
yeah, unfortunately that's were the division starts.
but anyways, if this was the game Intelligent Systems wanted to make, im happy with Engage and how it turned out.
could work
In hard mode its necessary, you can miss even 95% of hit meanwhile enemies can critical hit even its only 2%.
Skirmishes on hard can be absolutely be brutal, but I love it.

One time one of the enemy unit did critical hit twice in the row and only had 1% chance to do it. HOOOOOOOOW!? My units other hand has 38% to critical hit and they rarely do.
Kagetsu is at like 60% crit now for me on normal lol. Wo dao+5. Level 25 or so. +crit engraving. Its just nonstop
I think Engage's hard mode % just works very differently, it was same thing in 3House's maddening mode. For example enemy that has 40% hit you but actually they have 70% chance to hit you. the only guarantee that they wont hit you is at 0%.
Yup. I started out on hard mode and I'm glad I did. Good challenge! I also kind of like that a crit is a crit if you don't change things up. It seems to be locked in even if you rewind time. Prevents you from abusing the reversal and makes you rethink positioning.

Yup, once they dodge your attack or do crit its locked it doesn't matter how many times you restart the fight. The only way to change it is if you drastically do different thing.
You have a point unfortunately for me I did that once, the other unit I chose to fight him had 86% chance to hit aaaaaaand still missed.

Oh thats interesting. Thanks for sharing that!
Yup, so far the best clothes are the gym clothes lol.At the final battle.
P.S. just realized I could have had Alear in her gym clothes in Somniel this whole time ...
