Saizo in that one map against the evil ninja leader was neutral
Revelations is the worst of both worlds; it lacks the well-crafted missions of Conquest and the inoffensive plot of Birthright. It's a middling entry by all accounts whose strengths can only be attributed to Fates' overall solid mechanical foundation.
Good playthrough, I hope you can find a way to like it unlike meGave up and bought Revelation.
Expecting to like it cause I'm in the mood for it and now I'm aware how bad the storytelling will be.
The unit balancing has gone to absolute shit in the Nohr chapters. You get Level 19 Silas and Level 8 and 9 Effie and Arthur in the same chapter, that seems fair. What even happened here? I have no idea what IS was thinking, because it could have easily been solved out.
also bring back recruiting enemies, basically none of the recruitments in 14 were challenging and the only enemy recruitment was Harold and Effie in RevelationBack to Three Houses discussion.
One thing I'm hoping returns is neutral/allied green units. Fates' relative lack thereof (I'm blanking on any...?) was just another small factor that contributed to the absence of proper immersion. They might often be fodder, but they make their settings feel more lived-in, and can provide more scenario diversity.
Of course, in some games their existence in any meaningful quantity can slow down gameplay with lengthy phases, but with skip and fast-forwarding being ubiquitous now, that wouldn't be a problem.

Regarding Fire Emblem Echoes:
So Celica just automatically promoted at the end of the chapter. I think she was at level 14-15? Does that matter all that much or should I really have had her fully leveled up to 20?
Is that fan game The Last Promise any good? I saw some people selling repro carts of it on Etsy.
I have a low tolerance for terrible dialogue.
lol.And yet you've played other official Fire Emblem games before?
I don't have any dread fighters yet...just recently started promoting mercs to myrmidons. I feel like I have some grinding to do :(Time to.start abusing warp+rescue and the dread fighters/double lion. It's going to make the final fights on Alm's side and the final chapter a lot easier haha
The writing is very fanfiction-esque, as to be expected from a fan project which was created by one guy who did most of the work before graduating high school. It's worth playing for being one of the first and still one of the most impressive, complete ROM hacks to this day for the series. Don't go in expecting something with the quality level of an official entry and you won't be disappointed.Is that fan game The Last Promise any good?

No dread fighters and you already faced Jedah? Yeah it seems like you're under leveled. Late promotions? Or you just benched your mercs lolI don't have any dread fighters yet...just recently started promoting mercs to myrmidons. I feel like I have some grinding to do :(
To be honest, I just kinda forgot about promotions lol. I haven't really had the need to use them up until this point, since the battles have been at a good level of difficulty...challenging but not frustratingly so. I felt like promoting would've ruined that balance. It's why I've avoided grinding and tried not to initiate any non-story battles.No dread fighters and you already faced Jedah?

Revelation in particular was so baffling in this regard given how much it and Fates as a whole seemed to be trying to deconstruct Fire Emblem protagonists and their tendency to trust the people, especially people they were literally just fighting against two minutes ago. It's why that path's story is so weak even by the low standards of Fates' storytelling.also bring back recruiting enemies, basically none of the recruitments in 14 were challenging and the only enemy recruitment was Harold and Effie in Revelation
An hour and a half isn't really that much if not having him will sour your playthrough.Wow, I'm PISSED. I wish I had read about this beforehand...
FE Birthright spoilersKaze just died. My support with him was at a B, and apparently he survives if it's an easy. I didn't check my saves, but I don't think I have any in chapter 15. I'm mad, I was about to promote him to Master Ninja and Saizo to Dread Fighter.
Edit: fuuuucckkk my other save is an hour and a half back. Should I suck it up and replay it? My instant reaction is no way, I don't feel like doing everything I did (plus random stuff like arena, etc., not to mention the supports and whatnot) but I also don't want to lose a unit like that.
