Yeah the kids aren't really that good without a fuckton of grinding. Kana's pretty mediocre since their whole shtick is being Corrin 2.0, but they don't get Yato, or Jakob/Felicia/Gunter supports (their personal skills directly benefit Corrin). Some like Percy, Dwyer, Caeldori, Nina, Velouria, Shiro, are pretty decent but for the most part, it's the EXP and items from their maps that are more valuable.
But if you grind, anyone becomes good, and it's not worth discussing at that point.

Fought Kuno, won. Tough fight, though, the swarm on the east side overcame the Super Spear Girls.

So now being a fair way into Birthright and having gone in blind, I realize I may have fucked myself pretty hard in that the distribution for Seals is shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit and some characters that clean up high level base classes with ease can't even deal damage to level 1 upgraded classes for whatever reason.
Admittedly this is also because I haven't been caring much if I get shit stat rolls due to not knowing what stat growth individual characters have, but still. Just a little boned. |

In fairness, they did rebalance reclassing by making more limited so it doesn't turn into an unbalanced mess like Awakening, where you can keep re passing fiercer but still get a minimum of 8 EXP per kill. Though I'm not sure how your units can't deal damage to promoted classes, the only way that could happen is if you got really boned in levels, promoted too early, or playing on Hard mode or above. Which chapter are you currently on?
At least Birthright has grinding, so you can still try and get more levels and do the story missions afterwards.

Currently Chapter 15. And I've not been reclassing as of yet just because I didn't want to get boned like this.
And the sad part is I have been grinding. I have no idea why I just do no damage whatsoever. |

Sneaze your best bet is to find recently updated castles and find ones with level 3 rod/staff stores. They have infinite season sale. Of course, it's ine per castle, but you can get plenty this way.

Chapter 19/20 I think is when you get to upgrade to Rod Shop 3 which has infinite seals
But yeah I had enough Heart Seals for just MU twice and Hinata once and then managed to get enough Master Seals to promote Rinkah/Oboro/MU/Hinata/Orochi/Saizo/Kaze/Kagero/Hinoka/Silas/Kaden/Sakura |

So re: Felicia
...I heard she has a level cap of 40. So wouldn't that mean she's essentially a basic unit, just in a promoted class?

Yo yo yo
Conquest is sooooooooo dope But holy hell is it difficult (almost as difficult as picking a waifu) Chapters 10, 11, and 12 all find awesome and unique ways to challenge you (I haven't beaten chapter 12 yet) I think I might like it better than Awakening already, which is nutty

I hate the Conquest End Chapter so much. Someone ALWAYS breaks through. It almost makes me miss the dumb ai in the earlier games where enemies would charge you even if they know they won't do any damage. Will edit with details when I beat it or ragequit.

Fuck it. Making a new post.
After a day of trying and restarting the end chapter, I finally managed to beat the end chapter without anyone dieing. Despite my bitching, I have enjoyed the hell out of the game. I like it more than Awakening. The story is still a bit of a trainwreck. I plan on playing through again with the use of DLC grinding fun, and to fix my many fuck-ups. Though I don't think DLC grinding will help, since most of my characters' important stats are already maxxed. My end team (character stat spoilers) Spoiler: show Off to Birthright!

I'm just dropping in to say I'm mad as hell about how Nintendo is handling the Special Edition release. It was up on Best Buy for less than 5 minutes last week, and it was up on Amazon for less than 2 minutes today.
And now the cheapest you can get on eBay or Craigslist is about $200. I'm so salty. |

So long as technology fails to correctly identify and prevent scalping, you will continue to see similar failures of the system to get collector's edition items into collectors' hands at MSRP.

Courtesy of Kaisa, a closer look at how some Japanese perceive the English translation of Fire Emblem:
Spoiler: show The issue is, amongst other Japanese cues, the loss of keigo when going from Japanese to English. The deliberately selected Japanese in the original dialogue conveys what sort of personality Sakura has. This is lost when translating into English, as we don't have such grammar forms. And then to the Japanese ear, when you take what we write in English and back-translate it to Japanese, it can sometimes default to very different forms. But that's okay: you can enjoy the funny picture even without the language lesson.

I'm a bit into Birthright. One thing I like about it is how Corrin isn't sticking his head into the sand like he did in Conquest. It was kind of frustrating. I'm probably going to use the spare time to jack up support couples.
I already have more healers and magic users than I did the entirety of Conquest. Also, what's with Pegasus knights being so durable? THEY'RE MY FREAKING TANKS! Staves are alot better in this game too. They have an extra space in range! Support plans: (character spoilers) Spoiler: show |

Talon, do the Japanese have any opinion/knowledge of the weird censorship changes?
