Alright, I still have things to do in the game, but at this point I don't think I'll be filling you in on everything I do from here on. Most of it will be support grinding anyways. When I get children or max out supports I'll write a bit here to give my thoughts on them, but until then I think I'm done.
My thoughts on the game? I like it. It's not amazing, but I like it. It's the most fun I've ever had with an SRPG (not counting Pokemon Conquest because of Pokemon bias), and I'll probably be putting a lot more hours into it in the future. I might do a male Robin run to see the differences after I get bored of my current file, but I probably wont up the difficulty any since I don't see a reason to. I'm honestly too apathetic to really dislike anything in it, although that wont stop me from making fun of its quirkiness. Personally, I wish the whole time travel aspect mattered more, and that there'd be more than a support pokedex to fill out for 100%. The fact that they tried to do the whole support system is commendable and I never expected every single conversation between all of your units to be significant and memorable. And while most of the characters are cliches, there's no quicker way to give a character an identity (besides the weird ones like Henry).
Will I get the next Fire Emblem? Uh....used, maybe.
I guess I'll answer questions if you want to know my thoughts on anything specific.
Ones that don't involve male models please.

There are also extra Paralogues you can access via Spotpass. Have you done so yet? I have it on but I never got any extras. It might have something to do with the fact the game is used, and someone else might have claimed it? Like, I see Emmeryn, Yen'fay, and Aversa in the support log so I know something is up. |

Oh, you should try some of the older FEs.
And you gotta go in the Bonus Box to access the Spotpass Paralogues.

Go into the Bonus Box in game and you can access the Spotpass Paralogues from there. The Paralogues give you extra playable characters, but they are much harder than normal story chapters. |

I found Laurent (Miriel and Ricken S-rank, which wasn't as cute as I hoped it'd be), and he brought up a really good point. Any of these "children" could be someone pretending to be them after stealing the ring! Although I suppose Lucina would recognize them...

Even after ramping up the Soldier's bases, they're all so weak it's hard to get Kent and Rath the levels their sexy asses deserves. |

The hardest part about recruiting Walhart is not killing him before Chrom can get a hit in...
Also, I got Gangrel and if I knew he was marriage material I would have waited!

The spotpass missions were fun. The Emmeryn one I struggled for a bit before realizing I could make a chain of Rescues and just stuff her into the corner, with the village there as a natural barrier. Then I just plugged the holes with Donnel, Morgan, and Tiki.
Tiki is my strongest unit now, mostly because enemy units think she's weak, so she's gotten a ton of EXP from these paralogues. The Yen'fay one was actually a really touching reunion, and is definitely the best way to bring someone back from the dead in this setting.
The Aversa one I got ruined the first time by my own Donnel and Tiki...and so the next time I went in I brought Stahl, Sully, and everyone else I haven't used since the beginning of the game, paired up Chrom and Frederick and went to town.
The Priam one was amazing. Donnel/Robin, Morgan/Chrom, and Tiki/Anna solo'd the entire army. It's utterly ridiculous and I don't care if it's not "challenging" I loved it. The perfect final mission really.
Too bad it's not the final one since I still have kids to recruit. Hey Gaius! Olivia's pretty cute right?

Could've been worse. I could've told you about Komaka Sugizu Tsutawarudearou Erodonin Senshuken.

Something tells me you didn't have to look that name up.
Anyways, I am currently deciding whether to make Cherche go with Kellam or Virion. I'm getting them both to A and I'll decide after that.
For the record Vaike/Nowi is adorable, Gaius/Olivia is sweet (har har), and Gregor/Panne makes a strange sort of sense.
Edit: Virion/Cherche just works for me better than Kellam/Cherche. The latter feels too OOC from both of them...sorry Kellam. You'll get a wife next playthrough.
