I've been thinking of picking up Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valentia lately. Before I buy it there's a few questions I'd like to ask.

1. Is the game incomplete without the DLC? If yes, then how much is the DLC?

2. The main thing I didn't like about Fates was the skills system. I'd swap classes over and over again and spend hours reading various pages on Serenes Forest trying to build the ultimate units. Is there anything in Shadows of Valentia that may prompt this kind of idiotic timewasting behaviour?

It's the best 3DS FE game. The DLC has some back story which is somewhat interesting, but not very important to me at least. I pirated the game, so I don't know how much the DLC costs tbh. Classes work pretty great as well. The choices given for each character are perfect and the game is balanced.

EDIT: The story is damn good.

The DLC is pricey for sure (Season pass is £40 [or regional equiavlent] for it all), but not having it definitely doesn't detract from the game.

As for class swapping, it's not really a thing. There are DLC classes but for the most part you're kinda locked into their "personality" as it were. They're more like actual classes than "jobs" that were in Fates/Awakening.

Quite a convincing argument you have there. It's a shame I'm back at school and have to study for a very important exam. Maybe next holidays I'll pick it up.

I wouldn't buy the dlc - too damn pricey
No skill system like Awakening or Fates. You can swap classes but there is no "ultimate perfect route to overpowered characters"

    I mean built in sound on mobo's has gotten way better but still XP handled sound better and X-Fi was still better than onboard audio even to this day
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Hell not sure what was going on but for like a few weeks MP3's sounded muffled, some driver or Windows update fixed it. Thank god lol

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'd sooner buy the Meze 109 Pro if I was dropping that much on headphones. I don't even like buds/IEMs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I got the Google Pixel Pro buds, they're good enough for when I need portable audio. And some really cheap IEMs that Dankpods recommends, I think the KZ ZSN Pro

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd stick with cheapo Chinese $10 ones quality is actually becoming on pair with name brand since name Brand usually quads the price up anyway loose one bud that's another $200
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My Pixel Pro buds shit the bed a month or two ago. My wireless charger (which they do support Qi charging) absolutely COOKED them. Caused some problem that caused the case to heat up to 180F+
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    They were like 9 months out of warranty but I hit up Google support anyway and told them how hot they were getting and they replaced them with new ones because they wanted these for failure analysis lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol wireless charging
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why I can't bring myself to even spend $100 on wireless earbuds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it's a cool idea but damn

    Apparently the case has a problem with >15W wireless chargers. Google design fault, that one.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I could live with wireless charging if the damn standard case doesn't block connection
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    how is wireless charging possible?

    Copper conducting electricity or something
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, power through a coil of wire causes an electromagnetic field to be generated. Another coil of wire can be set up to harness the power from that electromagnetic field and turn it into usable energy for charging a device
