Well, if you do a lot of timeskipping for crafting or whathaveyou, not as long as you might be imagining.

"Well, THAT came out of nowhere. Who's injured?"

The level/CON reduction is a bitch, though.
Yeah, but you get that with anything other than True Resurrection, which is a 9th level spell. Reincarnation is only a 4th-level spell.

Huzzah! I just bought Fire Emblem: Awakening :O
Surely, I won't be disappointed ^^
Stay away from the diehards. They WILL rope you into eugenics discussion.

Other than that, it's a pretty good game - the story's kind of average for a FE game, but the characters are colorful and, most importantly, the gameplay is easily the best in the series.
Casual mode is literally the best thing ever added to Fire Emblem, as long as it remains optional.

Oh, and the unit models have no feet. Don't be afraid to laugh at that.
So it's not just my copy! I was afraid that I had a bad cartridge or something when I saw the lack of feet everywhere xD

Be warned Reverie, there are a number of changes from older FE games. I'm still not sure if they are better or worse, but they are definitely different.

I think that "polar vortex" that was mentioned a few times finally got down to my neck of the woods. Overcast and actually somewhat cool outside at the moment, which is about what I expected. Hard to get snow and ice in California unless you go up into the mountains :P

Violet staggered to her feet after making sure that her sword was still firmly in hand.
: "Th--thank you. I believe I will be okay now."

You must fight to the bitter end, of course.

I remember getting the silver nitrate treatment for quite some time. At least I ASSUME it was silver nitrate, since it was a greyish material that caused intense burning sensations. Could have been something else.

I can learn both a bring-back-to-life spell, as well as a Reincarnation spell.

The problem with the first is that it must be done a very short time after death occurs, and the second brings the person's soul back in a new body. A body which might not be the same gender or even race as the deceased.
That's always vastly more entertaining than true resurrection. Nothing like bringing back the wizard as an ogre or something.
Yeah, Reincarnation is interesting. The subject comes back in a random body, but retains his/her class, skill ranks, feats, etc, and potentially gains brand new abilities based on race. Since it is a new body, the condition of the old body is irrelevant; the subject could have been blasted to bits and it would not matter. Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution can all change, but it appears that the other attributes stay the same. So a wizard in an ogre's body can actually be a decent fighter.

NAV, LW, and Sirus are all now welcome in my Hyper Power Low-lying Omega Very Elder-gods' Craziness Resistant Armory for The-end-of-the-world bunker (H.P.L.O.V.E.C.R.A.F.T. bunker). Not you though, Graknorke. Your redead ashes will be put on a pedestal with LW's signature engraved on it.
There better be internet!
No.
It's the end of the world.
I'm not allowing anyone to have internet when I destroy the world.
Ha!
You are a terrible person >:(

Found someone on youtube who does insanely good Metal mixes of every them song, ever.
You talking about 331ERock? He's pretty good.

OH SHIT WHAT
It's been windy all day long, some clouds...but no rain. I'm only a couple hundred miles away from you, I hope some rain blows our way :D

@Sirus: Because I think it's retarded to waste a healing staff's quality on doing zero damage - most healers aren't going to have high STR, and if an enemy is hitting in melee range in the first place it's likely someone that has at least a measure of DEF. So, yeah, let's just blow that valuable Mend staff's charges by breaking it on Alexander's face for example, shall we? :P
Wait, who said anything about using the staff as a weapon? ???
Oh, whatever. Most running games seem to follow Haspen's rule in this regard, so I guess I'm not overly bothered by it.

In non-FEF discussion, does anyone know a way to load a save file in Fire Emblem: Awakening without closing and restarting the entire game? I've been having a lot of difficulty keeping people from dying and having to shut the whole thing down to restart a map frustrates me to no end >:[
these games need quicksave/load functions, seriously
