Rules

So I'm about 30 hours in, just got done with DrakenGard. And I was wondering if there's any unique units team attacks like there are in Suikoden or Chrono Trigger. it seems like a missed opportunity, with so many sibling characters or character with "rival" type personality to not give these units a special team skill

I chose Berengaria as my maiden. I knew she was a risky choice. She was never suited to be a peacetime Queen. Buuuut Alain had a way of bringing out the best in everyone. Murderers, thieves and scoundrels all found a nobility within themselves and rose to the roles that the liberation asked of them. Everyone got a happy ending.

But my beloved edgy goth axe lady couldn't cut it in Cornia. She left to go play mercenary and Fevrith has never felt more empty.

Hello folks, I'm almost convinced to buy this game, loved the demo.

One doubt though: which console version should I buy?

I have both a PS5 and a Nintendo Switch. I'm leaning towards the Switch because of the "play anywhere" factor, but...

Is there any meaninful downgrade from the PS5 version?

Aside from better resolution, is there any other downside? Compatibility issues, missing parts, censored content or anything else I should know?

So i was watching my partner play through UO after i already beat it when it came out and today i learned you can actually just... board the ship with a flying unit. When Alain said "perhaps there is another way to stop them" we tried like 8 different things until we wanted to put a flying unit on top of them and it actually worked. The Enemies in town also just ran away which is really funny, something i didn't find online so maybe some of you will find this amusing!

I put this team together on a whim. I have 5 units and an assist unit and needed to fill out my back line.

The idea is to have Gilbert boost the Wyverns and have the elf sisters clean up. It doesn't always work but I feel once they build rapport it will be fine.

Let me know what you think.

I'm level 13ish going into Drakenhold and northern Cornia. I'm a relatively experienced tactics games player and I'm also a completionist so I want to do all the side quests and find (and use) all the items, and I'm finding the game a bit too easy even on expert. Is there some kind of harder NG+ or post game? Does the campaign ramp up in difficulty? And what kind of self-imposed challenge runs do people here like to try?

Thanks in advance!

When Atlus and Vanillaware presented Unicorn Overlord for the first time, in a Nintendo Direct, I thought it was a rather pretentious promise. But now I know, they were right. I've never played anything like Unicorn Overlord. The world, the characters, the music and, of course, the revolutionary gameplay.

This game being snubbed by The Game Awards was a crime.

Kinda want to try

Me for the last 3 days

"This team is pretty decent. Let's try it in Coliseum"

"Gets absolutely destroyed like I have no idea what I'm doing"

Oh.

Not the typical game help post I know, but I am debating hard here as my brain is going back and forth on the options, I think I have unlocked all the feasible options for romance ( in Bastoria right now). I have a few options considering but I have heard some of the paired endings with Alain are kind of ehhhhhh, so that might be a factor against. So I would like people's thoughts weighing in, hopefully without too many spoilers.

The options I am considering in no particular order:

• Selvie
• Berenice
• Yahna
• Berengaria
• Amalia
• Rosalinde
• Railanor

Would love to get peoples input.

Thank you in advance

I don't even remember this being the post I viewed the most

For context: I was just tryin to send Team Gloucester back to recover stamina and spoiler stuffs and here we are with Nigel spewing Chivalry stuff only to walk straight to THEM.

Apeliotes, Bastorik, even Frostbloom+. I can't decide. Help me. :s

I was thinking about split my "Bastorias Team" (Yunifi, Morard, Ramona, Dinah and Bertrand) in two teams: One with only Archers archetypes (Hunter, Shieldshooter, Elven Archer and Featherbow + Yunifi) and a Bestral squad (putting Govil in Yunifi's place). The questions is: How I Would make It works? Or would it even works? Someone tried to do the same?

I accept any opinion about formation, gears, etc.

Just wondering, i've been mostly using whoever willingly join my army and i'm making my units around whatever i have at hand.

And this made me wonder, are those characters, because they are part of the story etc, any better than hired ones that i can "craft" their stat growths?

I love the idea of having a big army and fighting which is why I play fire emblem games and noticed this one can let you have a lot of units and have four or five characters per unit and have a war and j love the strategy element I watched reviews but it isn’t really tailored to my questions. Is the game long in my opinion longer the better, is it hard again the harder the more enjoyable and also has it got depth to the characters and story in the latest fire emblem game it felt shallow for both the characters and story and I ultimately didn’t want to play and more. Thanks

Just started playing 3 days ago

I don't want any team suggestions; I just want to know what to keep in mind when creating your own teams. I find it more fun and satisfying when I'm the one creating my own synergies.
Do you need to have separate teams specializing in dealing with specific classes? Do you need for every teams to be well-rounded? etc.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I just start playing 2-3 days and my army level are around 7-8, I spent for increase groups to 5 groups and 3 persons for each so when is the good time to expand group to 4 if the enemies groups still 3 persons each group?

Unicorn Overlord, that one game that I didn't expect to fall in love with is slowly exceeding every expectation I had. The game feels exactly like a Fire Emblem (Series I'm profoundly fond of) while still doing its own thing and not being a total copy of it.

Gameplay is fun. I see a lot of people complain about the battles auto-play, but since Fire Emblem had this feature for years, it didn't bother me as much.

The lore is a bit cliché: "Prince Hero gets to save the World from big bad Emperor," but it all fits well together, so far.

What pleased me the most, though, is the art direction for this game. The characters, beasts, armors, items, towns, nature, etc. Everything in this game is just so damn beautiful and good looking it's amazing.

I will say however, this will probably not reach as many people, but I do feel like the English localization for this game is rather bad. It is not atrocious, but not good neither. As someone who's studying translation at college and plans to specialize in Japanese to French/English translations, the translators took way too many liberties in their work. Quite a few lines in English do not match the meaning and sense of the Japanese version. Some others, that are only a few words in Japanese, suddenly become 3 to 4 lines in English. At times, it honestly feels more like a fan fiction rather than a proper translation.

Now, us translators are taught about taking some liberties sometimes, but never ever should we divert TOO MUCH from the original text either. Like I said, it's not ATROCIOUS, but it clearly could've been better.

Overall, 2024 has been an outstanding year for JRPGs; mostly Sega (RGG, Atlus, etc) and Square Enix. Here's another surprise to add to the mix. Can't wait to play more!

Just let them plunder on you and then try to kill them to take money back? How you deal with it or how to run fast enough to catch that thief unit?

Just finished unicorn overload and it was superb. I want to try out 13 sentinels. How does It compare to unicorn and would u recommend it ?

I just recently got the game and around lvl 10 for people. I havnt spent any Divine shards yet so is there an optimized way of spending?

The more I test in mock battles, the less I seem to understand.

I was just trying out a triple sellsword with >!Gilbert!<supporting in the back unit. Just to test if the general concept works, and apparently it doesn't because of weird rules?

Each of my sellswords have a Crude Tasset for War Cry. G in the back casts Offensive Order... and then nobody wants to use War Cry. Ok, I guess they don't stack. So I turn off Offensive Order to see if they'll cast War Cry themselves, and they... don't? Only the fastest sellsword does?

So I can understand that the same kind of buff (physical attack up%) can't be repeated even if it's not the same type (active or passive), but it can't be repeated by anyone else at all?

What about buffs that for instance buff physical attack and then physical attack + crit rate? Or accuracy and then crit rate? Do nerfs work the same? Or what about effects that can activate multiple times by some other repeatable trigger (like getting hit?)

Is there a resource that outlines specifically how buffs can and can't be applied somewhere?

As the game is only 30$ atm on Amazon. Is it a tactics game like fire emblem or like civilization? How long is the game? And is there a lot to do or what?
