And here's the Golden Deer showcase vid. Guessing the DLC class is going to be... DLC?

English trailer (for what little English there is).

Normally I wouldn't mind, I'm just a bit burnt out from work stuff. Would have dropped out even if BowserBasher was able to make it.

Think I'll be taking a break this week.

Did they say if class changing was limited to the original character do not steal? The unique animations don't look like they should be able to change class. Unless it's for their preferred class?

Black Eagles showcase trailer has dropped.

Well at least mine wasn’t deliberate.

I don’t know what your referring to?

Don't forget to claim your free starters for transferring 'mons from BDSP and PLA.

I’ve escaped from maintenance he’ll, so might be worth checking.

They are splitting the Pokédex so it tracks by game/region as well. I was thinking about doing a living dex but I dunno now. I do need to go back to the older games. There's still a load of Pokémon I never got.

With Three Hopes being announced, I finally got into gear to finish my Golden Deer/Verdant Wind maddening playthrough. The reward is kinda lame. Took 101 hours according to the in-game timer but it was probably more. My first playthrough was 71 hours for Crimson Flower hard mode. Maddening starts off super difficult, but it evens off a bit later on. Chapter 14 in particular was, well... maddening with it's infinite enemy reinforcements. poor Hilda had to tank a lot of hits so the other could pick them off during the player phase, but it meant I had to turtle up at the start of the map. The terrain helped with enemy units that start nearby, but I was pretty much stuck to the start position. You have to protect a single green unit who appears at the North East of the map who will trigger a Secret Scheme™ if you guide them to a specific spot which will cause the enemy to start retreating giving you a chance to push forward. A lot of enemies drop some good items so you want to try and kill them. I almost did where the green unit died, but Byleth got in a spot I couldn't escape from. Chapter 13 was also tough as you start with only Byleth and Claude, and you don't any battle preps so you only have what you ended the last chapter with (apart from Claude who gets a couple of new toys). I thought I had finally cleared the map, and then I scrolled right and saw there was anther half of the map to go. The second half wasn't as bad though. Maddening made me appreciate gambits a lot more. There ability to stop enemies was moving is very useful. Speaking of gambits, Falcon Knight Leonie + Alert Stance+ + Retribution is broken. Retribution gambit grants the Counterattack ability which allows you to as the name implies, counter attack but you can do so from any range. Annoying when the enemy has it, amazing when you have it. There's a chapter where you need to move a unit to specific spots to stop reinforcement. Leonie was able to fly around the map and either dodge physical attacks and/or take very little magic damage and able to kill on the counter attack. Also useful for long range spells (she killed Hubert this way). Sadly doesn't work ballistae though. Battle data screens are in the spoiler tag. I'm probably going to NG+ Azure Moons and I want to play the DLC story, but I think I'm going to take a break and play Kirby first. Although I doubt I'll finish that before Three Hopes.

Felix has gone full Rodrigue.

I don't think they would have noticed. The forum already lists them, you don't need to copy and paste the list in a new thread every time.

You got that kill right on the nose. @Glen-i

I was pretty much giving up, just got lucky. I didn’t think it had hit.

This one, you can see it happen on the mini map. There was no way I was going to build enough speed to get there before you. Pretty much sums up my night, I was quite proud of that shot as well.

The worst part was @Mokong deliberately going out of his was to hit me with a super star for absolutely no reason.

You learn more about the Hero's and another characters back story. Plus some fun boss fights. Just pretend there's a platinum trophy.

Did you do the post-game? Edit: doesn't look like it. Do the post-game.

Fine, but I don't want to hear a single complaint.

Honestly I'd say not to grind anymore, you're too high as it is.

I've used Kerplunk before, probably against the post game bosses. Yangus is tanky enough to be the last one on the field.

Next skill in axes gives you +20 attack which is nice. Kerplunk in humanity is also handy when you're in a pinch. Kabuff is good too.
