Topic: Fire Emblem Engage for Nintendo Switch

@JaxonH yes, I do recall you mentioning that before. Let me say this, if anyone would judge you when you've succeeded in recovering, then shame on them. Congrats to you again, and never feel ashamed. Stand tall my dude! And also, glad it's not something serious like a terrible sickness putting you down for an extended period of time.

@Ralizah keep in mind all the dogs drop iron. The drop rate just changes per dog type.

This may have already been discussed in the thread, but are the public Relay Trials working for everyone else? I've been trying the option of joining a random Relay Trial for several days now, but I always get a message that no trials can be found online. And I started a couple of Relay Trials myself and made them publically available, but no one's picked them up either. The other online functionalities work fine for me, so the issue is not with my internet connection.

It's a bit frustrating, because the only other way of getting crystals are the Tempest Trials, but those take forever to clear.

@Polvasti It's been mentioned before, and you're not alone in having issues with Relay Trials. There's also no current info on if/when it'll be fixed.

I could be wrong though since I haven't really tried any of the online features.

I should probably try the Relay Trials at some point.

I'm 55 hours in and only up to Ch. 18 currently. This game is filled to overflowing with content as is. I'm not surprised people aren't really dipping into the online features yet.

Now that I am 9 hours in: Yeah, its really good and looks amazing. Definitely the best looking Fire emblem so far.

No interest in the DLC Emblems as I've played none of the previous games and they don't add a crazy amount to my experience to do like a second playthrough or whatever with those Emblems, but I'll be interested to see what that story DLC ends up being. I might end up buying the pass just for that, especially as I might be able to get it from a reseller for cheaper by then.

That expansion pass wave 2 is clutch!

30,000 gold and 20 silver ore... oh my goodness I needed this so much.

I also noticed my amiibo are giving better drops now (already got all songs and outfits). Actually ripped a silver ore, Defense Tonic and Antitoxin. Only one food item and relay ticket. Nice.

The new supports feature is also nice. Orchard, pool and stable to build supports between characters. That was really needed.

Ok, now it's time to kick this game into high gear. MP1R is here and I need to get on it.

lol I did a little bit of grinding with skirmishes and thought I was good for the rest of the main story. Ch. 19 just brought me back down to reality. I've had to restart the map three times now.

I don’t really plan to get this game, but seeing them add Veronica from Heroes and having her ability be summoning heroes with star ranks and all was hilarious, I love it.

@Pizzamorg Yeah I'm not ready to bite just yet either. The DLC emblems are a nice incentive (and I'm surprised to see wave 2 released so quickly!), but tbh if I need anything in my current playthrough, it's more challenge, not less of it.

I think I'll buy the DLC either when the story component comes out, or when I'm ready to play on Hard.

So much for this game not being "for me". I've really come to like it in the end.

LOOKS Like the relay trials are working now

Am I stupid or something? I can find out how to initiate recreation engagements at the pool and orchard easily enough, but what about the stable?

@Ralizah
In front of the training area there's some horses in a stable, and in the middle there's a door. Walk up to the door for the prompt.

@JaxonH That explains why I couldn't find it. Thanks.

I see they added free animal ears to the game, so now if you make Protag into a Wolf Knight like I did, you can pair up their tail they get from that class (for some reason).

Since the DLC seems to be coming fast and furious, I wonder if we're going to get the full DLC before Zelda.

I finished the DLC maps. Hector and Soren's maps were very fun. Meanwhile Camilla's map was really obnoxious such that I cheesed it by rushing the boss using my overpowered Ivy.

@Grumblevolcano
Why didn't you like Camilla's map? I recognize it as one of my favorite Fates maps
