How has he remained the best lord despite so many other games in the series?
>>
Great stats and absolutely not giving a single fuck.

Because all the lords pretty much have the same personality, that is none.

>best lord
He's not even loyalty, he's plebeian scum.

He's nothing more then a filthy sell-sword.

He fights for his friends.

Eliwood really is bland stat and characterwise, but he doesn't get enough credit. Seeing as everyone just kind of ignores him, but his Great Lord promotion and holy weapon are actually the best out of the three lords in 7, and he's the only non-Luna user who can one round the dragon.

I don't think most people do, it's more mechanics and settings taking a nose dive due, in part, to the relationship and it's interaction with said self-insert.

Pretty sure anyway. Maybe some people do, but I still think it's just because of how they decide to make it interact with the story.

Actually Titania is probably the single most useful unit in both games, in PoR for probably being the best non-royal throughout the entire game and RD for being arguably the best Knight; the best human class besides Wvyern.

There's a very valid and shown reason for why people trust Ike though.
We literally played as him last game to give him that trust.
Everyone is like "oh watch out for that silver haired maiden she's a master tactician"
And then she's forced along during the end game because she becomes an avatar of half a goddess because random unexplained connection to almost every royal member on the continent.

>>315338976
Rapiers and other Prf weapons aren't holy weapons.
The only real explanation is that all the holy weapons in the GBA games are breakable. Pretty much everywhere else they either can't break or can be infinitely repaired

In terms of character Lyn is above average compared to the other lords. In terms of gameplay she's pretty alright too, nothing special, but not as bad as some would have you believe. Unfortunately anytime you attempt to defend her you just get called a waifufag, but whatever I still like her the most out of all the female lords.

Also pic related is Japan's taste.
Pretty decent honestly.

When it comes out, make you're choice. The story is shit even by Fire Emblem standards and the only saving grace is the gameplay of the Nohr route. As for the kids.
The kids are born during the events of the game, put in a hyperbolic time dimension, aged till they can fight and then finally let out to go to war

It saved Fire Emblem financially. But Awakening is Fire Emblem only in name. The spirit of the series is dead. Now instead of conflict, badassery, intense strategy and waifus everywhere, we have waifus everywhere and nothing else.

No, from the sales both FE9 and FE10 sold poorly. Nips hate consoles, especially for a game that was on handheld for some time. SD actually sold average and so did the sequel. Awakening did not save the series in the least bit, the amount IS needed to make in order to stay in business was average sales. With the west starved for a decent FE game, it was bound to do average or more.

something a lot of businessmen in japan seem to not understand.
Then again as far as I can tell, ever since 7 Fire emblem has been much more popular in the west than japan, even accounting for the disparity in population.
To be honest the one game in the series that I thought would have killed the series was FE5, and really in fact it almost did seeing as 6 didn't come out for several years after.

Shadow Dragon literally sold more than Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn.

It was a drastic move to remake those games, especially in the shitty manner they did, but it bought some more time.

Tellius objectively was why Fire Emblem was on it's deathbed. Although to be fair, you really have to blame Nintendo for this.

Two consoles that didn't sell well in Japan, a series that was largely Japanese exclusive, and you decide to develop not one, but TWO games in the series that definitely costed more to develop for the GC/Wii than the GBA?

Nintendo almost killed Fire Emblem because they're run by fucking idiots. They always have been.

That being said, Tellius wasn't incredibly enjoyable IMO. It also cemented the fad of cheap 3D models in FE, which Awakening and Fates have unforgivably adopted.

Also Radiant Dawn is just pure, synthesized garbage. Path of Radiance was great for what it was, but I'll never replay either.

Again FE5 is by far the worst selling FE game.

But PoR and RD are two of the best games in the series. Also there's nothing wrong with RD's models. They were much improved from PoR's wonky models and animations.
RD also still is a contender for some of the best gameplay in the series, with a good mix of varied maps that do a good job of keeping the pace flowing well.

His weapons pass down to the secondary child or son. If you went with Lachesis, Nanna would get the weapons. If you went with Ayra, Ulster would get the weapons. Be careful, because if Fin has the Brave Lance in possession, he passes it to his kid and starts second gen with an Iron Lance.

>Again FE5 is by far the worst selling FE game

Yeah that's not the point, this was before FE was on the global market.

Who cares how much FE sold in Japan back then? It was a niche series with enough of a following, and it barely costed anything to develop.

Nothing to lose, nothing to gain. Although it's entirely possible the lack of sales is because of the hair color, because Nipponland is this retarded.

>Also there's nothing wrong with RD's models

Anyway, there is nothing inherently wrong with RD's models, at the time anyway. But it made Nintendo realize they could get away with using the cheapest possible open source looking amateur bullshit 3D models they could find and tossing them in the game. And now that cancer has spread to the 3DS titles, which should have reverted to Sprites.

>RD also still is a contender for some of the best gameplay in the series

This isn't saying a whole lot though. IntSys isn't really innovative in much of anything. The gameplay will always be worse than Ogre Battle 64 and Tactics Ogre, so until it even tries to get on that footing there is absolutely no point even discussing the gameplay.

I liked the battle animations and the bright colors, two things the former titles I mentioned don't exactly do much of.

>pic related

Amateur Sprite artwork. FE could have this. So why doesn't it?

Because people will buy anything. The market sets the quality standard, and the market is flooded with morons
>>
>>315343702
I don't think 90% of people even pay attention to names. You like a character by their dialogue or stats.
Marth has been in several games and is a major representative of the series, also he has really good stats in 2 of the games he's been in. By comparison Eliwood is bland in both dialogue and statistically and is only in one game. Granted his Great Lord promotion gives the best bonuses out of all the lords.

>>315344068
I personally actually liked the models in Radiant Dawn though, their animations were good and they put a good amount of effort into them.
I fully agree that as soon as the games go back on mobile they should have been 2D. Both the remakes and Awakening looked like hot garbage and it's a crime that more sprite based games aren't on the 3DS which is hilariously underpowered anyway. But as you said, ISIS is lazy as hell and they've been more than disappointing in just about everything lately. I'm not excusing this, but RD is probably the last time they were actually trying.

You really can't discount a games bonuses just because something else outside of the series did it better. It's like saying "why bother playing (x) when (y) exists" and that's just a bad argument.
And honestly, I don't even think Tactics Ogre does combat better than RD or FE5. Tactics Ogre's battle system is nothing special in the least and I find it far easier than FE5 or even RD.

>decent father gameplay-wise
>tragic backstory; having his liege get effortlessly slaughtered while he was stuck babysitting for him
>undying loyalty to Leif
>being practically required in Thracia due to the bullshit difficulty in early parts of the game
>heartwarming conversations with his children in FE4 Gen 2

He's pretty cool.

You have to respect the fact Hector is the hefty guy of the group and doesn't take shit from anyone. Usually the big guy in games/animes are usually the punching bags.

Some of you guys are all right.

Don't go to Belhalla Castle tomorrow.

Who even survived that again? I know Aideen did and Levin /technically/ did. But I can't remember who else.
I know there isn't much official say on the matter but I thought I remembered a Kaga interview about it
>>
>>315350895
I think you're confusing Aideen with Briggid, unless I'm forgetting something
Eyvel is Briggid

Don't mind me, just posting best lord

I thought Sigurd and Celice were decent. Ike though did start as a commoner so that's probably why.
>>
Daily reminder on how much they ruined my first lord.
>>
>>315351069
No Aideen is talked about as living by Celice and Nana at the beginning of the 2nd gen of FE4.
>>
>>315351440
why couldn't she just be a paladin or sword master?
>>
>>315350895
technically all the first gen women survived. Also Levin got killed but was revived
>>
>>315351554
oh ok well then definitely Briggid

Eliwood isn't bland in the slightest. Honestly, Ike always struck me as the blandest of the FE lords.
>>
>>315350895
Tiltyu survived but later died, Briggid survived but got amnesia, and Lachesis survived.

Rest are unknown. Ayra disappeared, and Azel was originally supposed to have survived but would be turned to stone.
>>
>>315351729
I know that's why I said /technically/
But I'm 90% sure that not all women lived since most of them talk about their kids already existing before the final battle.
Also this
>>315351867
But I guess there's no real point in spoilers. I'm actually amazed I never had this game spoiled for me despite playing it after coming to most of these threads a few years ago

>>315351816
How is he not bland
Like name a memorable moment with him. His dad died and I can't even remember what he said at his death.

I'm glad they fixed this shit in Fates. Having people throw Ragnell and Amatsu was absolutely retarded. Hooray for actually decent animations!

Quan and Ethlyn died earlier in the Yied Massacre.

Lewyn was killed by Manfroy, but revived by Forseti (the dragon, not the tome).

Finn survived because he was in Leonster babysitting Leif.

Deirdre survived due to being Arvis's waifu, but was later killed by Loptyr-possessed Julius.

All of the women except Ayra are confirmed to have survived (keyword: "confirmed". Ayra's fate is left ambiguous).

Ferry died of an illness after becoming Queen of Silesse.

Tiltyu died of depression from being abused by Queen Hilda.

According to the manga and Thracia 776, Raquesis gave birth to Delmud from Beowulf, escaped to Isaach after the Battle of Belhalla, then fucked Finn and gave birth to Nanna.

Sylvia escaped and left Leene at an orphanage (no word on what happened to Corple).

Azel tried to speak to Arvis, but was captured and turned to stone.

Claude is confirmed to have died, with Sleuf from Thracia claiming to communicate with his ghost.

Adean became a nun and took care of orphans in Isaach.

Briggid got amnesia and became Eyvel, but eventually recovered her memories and reunited with Patty and Faval.

Everyone else is presumed dead.

Because Intelligent Systems thought she was a better pick than the more popular Lyn to promote their wedding waifu DLC bullshit. In turn all it did is make Eirika look like more of a fodder Lord than she is.

>>315352684

whoops, meant to quote >>315350895

>>315352684
>Raquesis
I'm still mad at NoA or whoever the fuck okayed that name.
Also yeah this is all correct to my knowledge as well
>still no quality translation of FE4 and 5 that actually finishes the game.

>>315352437

I forgot amatsu existed
man, awakening swordmasters were bad
but anyway, throwing swords are back with the kodachi and flying dagger lmoa
>>
>>315353054
It's not that the others have hooves, it's that their feet are just clipping into the bridge.
Yes it's still bad
