Fire Emblem: Awakening (3DS)

Ha, I'm tempted to go for casual mode now (probably will on harder difficulties) and if people accuse me of not being a 'real' Fire Emblem fan, I'll just tell them I bought the effing game and leave it at that.

I'm tempted to find the soundtrack for this, but is it supposed to be any good? Even if it isn't, I'll probably do it for a select songs *cough*beachandhotspringthemes*cough*.

And another random question: does anyone actually use the Reclass system? It seemed kinda gimmicky to me, but maybe it's actually super useful and I'm just dumb. I've just been thinking about it since 'Reclass' looks like it's going to keep appearing in FE games.

I would have tried it in FE12, but you get so many characters, that it's kind of pointless, lol. I DID use it for my custom character though. (switched from archer as soon as myrmidon was available)

In Awakening though, I heard you can learn skills from different classes, so that might be a better reason to switch.

Yeah, you have five skill slots, and you only gain two skills from each class. (so you'd know four total if you went, say, Cavalier -> Paladin and left it at that). If you abuse re-classing, you can create some awesome skill setups, particularly with the avatar since he/she can be any class as long as it's gender-appropriate. Bow Slayer + Sword Slayer + Lance Slayer + Axe Slayer + Magic Slayer would give you +50 hit and +50 avoid in pretty much every situation, for instance.

reclass was marginally useful at best, only good for gaining Res or making a fighter into a pirate for the added mobility and other trivial ****. I feel like it was wasted on SD/NM.

But Awakening reclass is much different, in fact possibly gamebreaking- it resets the character's level to 1 of that tier. And they can keep all their old skills, so as long as you have change seals, you can switch classes at level 20 for more and more level ups and skills and ****.

Wait, switching in Awakening resets level to 1 but doesn't reset stat growth? Sounds incredibly broken. I'll try not to abuse it.

Right. When you change classes, stat changes are based on the difference between the base stats of the old class and new class.

Okay, wow, that sounds really fun to abuse. Looks like I'll prob be reclassing like crazy now.

...Sigh. Another disappointing feature. But yes, I gotta keep the game challenging for myself.

You shouldn't be surprised.

I restart because dammit that was a character I spent time and effort on and now they're gone and I don't want to build up someone else now. Also they probably took some of my stuff with me.
