[DS] Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon - The RNG Still Hates You

I picked it up this afternoon after cursing Omagnus for the past month. Unfortunately I've only had time to finish the prologue so far, but it hasn't disappointed. The dual-screens couldn't have been implemented better, and it's incredibly handy to have a button that shows all enemy ranges at once like in Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn.

Does anyone know if there are support conversations in this one? I haven't seen anything about them, so I'm not sure if I should continue trying to place units beside each other. The forced sacrifice during the prologue would be pretty annoying to anyone looking to get 100% supports if they are in Shadow Dragon.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

From what I can tell, Frey is a new character placed in only for the DS remake's prologue. You never recruit him if you're playing on Hard difficulty, so the sacrifice is to keep the max number of units you can have the same. I sent off the pre-promoted Paladin since those guys are always experience drains anyway.

Most amazing jew boots

Yeah, there's no way I'm sending someone to their death with silver equipment. I didn't want some old guy dragging down the rest of the party with his brittle bones and incontinence issues anyway.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Has anyone else heard a lot of static during a battle's music and then had the game freeze up? I had to restart Ch. 1 once after that happened and I had to turn off my DS. Hopefully that isn't a common problem.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm still only on Ch. 3 since I've been trying to finish several other games first, including FE Sacred Stones. I just went ahead and started because I'd been so anxious to try Shadow Dragon. Nice to know there's another Black Knight waiting for me. ;__;

I was speaking idiomatically.

To be fair, it would be difficult to top the Black Knight. That guy was a monster with his huge movement range despite the heavy armor, and he had such a great look to top it off.

Especially:

after playing as him in Radiant Dawn, slaughtering everything that comes your way. <3

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm way behind you, Hawkeye. Like I said, I'm still working on some other games first so I'm only up to around Ch. 3 in Shadow Dragon. The Black Knight Tails and I were talking about is from Path of Radiance.

How ya doing, buddy?
