>he fell for the Seth is good meme
Fire Emblem thread.
>>342196905
Even if you're playing with 0% growths, Seth is good. Your Seth could probably solo the entire game.
I want to complain about the greentext, "meme", and an awful picture of a screen in the OP, but it's still better than a typical FE thread. What do you want to talk about today?
>>342196905
>He fell for He fell for the Seth is good meme meme
Bad RNG, friend, meanwhile on a randomized play through
>>342196905
>Good enough to be relevant in endgame
Yeah he's good.
On another note, even though I feel it's one of the easiest ones, I still love SS. One of my top 3 desu.
>>342197518
>>342196905
>benched set for 18 chapters
>on par with my unit
????????
>>342197472
He definitely cannot solo the whole game, he's the main reason for my resets. FE8 is pretty good though, I'm glad I got around to playing it.
>>342197618
Sacred Stones is really my jam, desu. I've played it the most out of any FE game
>>342197821
It's short and has 2 stories, that goes well for repeat playthroughs.
New FE4 translation came out recently
New Tear Ring Saga translation coming out soon
Shouzou Kaga making games for free
I don't have much faith in IS nowadays, but there's still Fire Emblem stuff to look forward to.
>>342197896
Yeah, I've played it enough to have tried to use every unit at least once. It doesn't deserve half the flak it gets.
>>342198093
>New FE4 translation came out recently
I heard it was still in beta. But that's cool.
>New Tear Ring Saga translation coming out soon
Sweet.
Sacred Stones has my favourite cast.
>>342196905
I benched Seth as soon as I got the chance so I never found out if he is actually good or not
Why would I keep a Jeigan around?
>>342198685
Seth isn't a Jeigan because he has decent/good growths, he's viable from start to finish
>no FE game with infinite play that isn't Sacred Stones
Damnit, I really want to play through a game like Path of Radiance but where you have random characters and actually have to manage your merc company.
>>342197821
>>342198254
I think it gets flak for "inspiring" modern fe (awakening, birthright). I happen to like all of the above, so I have no problems with that. Come to think of it, shadow dragon remake is my least favorite fe game
>>342198685
Because Seth is actually really good.
By that I mean he can still keep up with your units even by endgame.
>>342198269
Why is L'Arachel so best?
How do you turn healers into damage dealers in FE7 without arena abusing?
>>342198859
A Jeigan is a super strong character that joins at the very beginning of the game to use as a crutch for early parts of the game
If Seth is good or not makes no difference, he is still a Jeigan
>>342199080
>Because Seth is actually really good.
And how was I supposed to know that? Experience in all other FE games tells me that the paladin at the beginning of the game who is super strong always ends up being mediocre by the end.
Without prior knowledge of the game why would I decide to keep Seth in knowing what was his most likely fate?
>>342198685
>Why would I keep a Jeigan around
Because Jeigan is legitimately a useful unit. Pretty much every 'Jeigan' that people insult is great. Hell, FE7 Marcus is a LTC god.
>>342199414
You promote them as soon as they get level 10
>>342198269
I agree with you
>>342199291
I wouldn't know, I benched her.
>>342199459
>Without prior knowledge of the game why would I decide to keep Seth in knowing what was his most likely fate?
That's what I did on my first SS playthough. I wanted to see if the super strong paladin type would actually stay that way. And he kinda did. Go figure.
>>342199038
>I think it gets flak for "inspiring" modern fe (awakening, birthright)
I would say that was more FE12, what with the introduction of the avatar system and the "higher difficulties"
so is Moulder "the Boulder" worth using
>>342199038
FE8 might get some criticism for having optional grinding like FE2, but that's rarely a point of focus. Most of the criticism comes from the complete lack of difficulty even in "hard" mode, and I also often hear people say the level design isn't as good as other GBA games.
>>342199459
Every single "jeigan" is worth using until they start to fall off.
>tfw you miss the pre-awakening /feg/
>>342199825
Funnily enough, yes. He's got great speed and skill, along with enough con to not be slowed down by heavier tomes. His only issue is not having as much magic as Lute or Artur.
>>342197518
>not making her HUGE
>>342200072
Ashnard did nothing wrong
>>342199513
They are useful but after I get enough members to the army to replace him then why should I keep him in? why should I waste exp on a Jeigan instead of another unit that will most likely be better?
>>342199848
>Every single "jeigan" is worth using until they start to fall off.
Why wait until then? they will become mediocre, you know it's going to happen so why keep him around instead of giving another character the exp?
so what are the dumbest/most obtuse requirements to unlock characters that aren't even worth it (excluding gaiden chapters that require you to kill off your units)
>>342200232
Stefan comes to mind for me
>>342200232
Stefan(In both games) is one of the more obscure requirements.
That one guy in FE5(Xavier)? is the most bullshit one due to all the hoops you need to do to get him.
>>342196905
But my seth has already 24 str and 22 def at 18
>>342200232Gangrelin Awakening who'll probably kill himself on you before you manage to talk to him 3 times.
FE9/10 HD when?
I don't want to have to emulate.
>>342199973
It was still waifushit though. Just about Lyn, Marisa, and Mia
>>342196905
How the fuck do you beat ghost ship on hard without grinding or abusing seth/dussel's jeigan stats?
There's over a dozen of those flying eye enemies, and anyone besides those two just gets dog piled by endless flying magic using enemies and dies. There's no way to shield off units because I'm on a tiny boat, they can fly and I also have to take into account the flying gargoyle assholes and the like 30 skeletons/zombies on the other boat
Is the strategy really just to take them down with 1-2 units and just don't deploy anyone? or does hard just expect you to use the tower constantly because the number of enemy reinforcements is ridiculous
>>342199629
>>342200224
It takes the other cavs until late in the game to catch up with Seth.
>>342200516
handheld series from now on :^)
>>342197618
SS doesn't deserve the hate it gets but it's still easily the weakest of the three games
it has some cool ideas but there simply aren't enough units. If I want to use a thief I use colm, if I want to use an archer I use nemi, if I want to use dark magic I use knoll ect ect
>>342200224
>Why wait until then? they will become mediocre, you know it's going to happen so why keep him around instead of giving another character the exp?
Because they're very strong units. Even if you don't want to level them up, they can help funnel exp into weaker units by weakening enemies and tanking attacks. And sometimes if you make a mistake, they can get you out of trouble. You can use whoever you want in most FE games, but you'll have an easier time overall if you take advantage of the "jeigans" the game gives you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ziXSioJ2JQ
>>342200705
>. Even if you don't want to level them up, they can help funnel exp into weaker units by weakening enemies
except seth will double every single unit in the game besides myrmadons and bosses and will most likely kill them even with shitty weapons
Batre vs dorcas
I pick dorcas every time because of his sob story
>>342200552
The game gives you Seth and Duracell for a reason. If you use them, you should be fine. If you don't use them, you only have yourself to blame. The game has enough actual balance problems as it is, don't blame it because you decided not to deploy your strongest units.
>>342200828
I generally don't use either past the first few chapters because hector exists
>>342200581
Seth is an exception, not the rule
Normally by the middle of the game they start to fall behind even if you give them exp, so why should I keep them around?
>>342200705
>Because they're very strong units
On who the exp will be wasted
> they can help funnel exp into weaker units by weakening enemies and tanking attacks
Not happening because they will kill everything at the beginning without even trying only to get 1 point of experience
>>342200978
The problem isn't deploying my stronger units or not, the problem is that if I deploy anyone ~besides~ them that they're just instantly killed by 6 or more flying eyes attacking them in one round
what's the most bullshit chapter in the gba games?
>>342201039
>Normally by the middle of the game they start to fall behind
Nonsense. They're always useful. Try playing these games instead of falling for a stupid GameFAQs meme.
>playing SS as my first FE because I got it for free
>hoarding instinct overrides my enjoyment for the game
I'm too much of a faggot for ironman runs
>>342200992
>not using hector, dart, dorcas and unique sprite man
Pleb detected
>>342200825
I personally use jeigans to pull aggo by unequipping them and sticking them on a forest or something so my other units don't have to deal with getting rushed down.
>>342200828
>using fighters when Hector, Dart, and Harken exist
If I had to pick, I'd pick Bartre for the speed, but that's not much of a reason itself.
>>342199459
He's more of an Oifey than a Jeigan to be honest.
>>342201084
The Sword of Seals chapter
I didn't lose my sanity because I played it on emulator and had save states. playing it on a gba must have been pain
>>342201084
4 dragons. Not even that hard and zero thought put into the final final level
Why does 6 suck so much?
>>342201084
If you're getting everything and don't want anyone to die, that chapter in FE6 where you get the bard and have to recruit a sniper to then recruit a pegasus knight, who spawn on opposite sides of a map that's full of walls to slow you down, have huge grops of dangerous enemies that spawn with them and also you have to race bandits to villages (and of course the bandits head towards the villages that are near the pegasus knight, the person you need to talk to SECOND meaning to kill those bandits you have to just hang around drawing hits while waiting for the sniper to get his ass over there and split your army in half because of course there's also villages near the sniper too.
>>342201084
6 is full of bullshit chapters
jesus christ ive been playing conquest hard classic and im near the end and its really kicking my ass. i didnt have much problems in the beginning only losing peri silas and leo bt now im at the part where you fight hans and Iago and shit is this map hard
>>342199629
Best myrmidons for sure.
Are the 3ds ones worth it? My 3ds is a monhun machine at the moment, and frankly the 3ds FE games look kind of shitty compared to the old ones.
Am I being too harsh?
>>342201458
>>342201538
play for gameplay, skip anything involving story/narrative
>>342201458
Never even used her because i'm pretty sure joshua was either a swordmaster or almost one and colm was the same except for assassin
>>342201538
Yeah they are worth it, especially conquest
>>342201206
>He's more of an Oifey than a Jeigan
Same shit.
>>342201293
because it's the nega version of FE8
fe8 common complains = too easy, units are too weak, level design is too simple/un challenging, you get too much money and can freely get exp/items on the world map. units have amazing growths
fe6 common complaints = too hard, maps are full of dick moves, limited resources, unit growths are bad
fe6 is for people that want a balls to the wall strategy game in their fire emblem, you can't rely on amazing stats or gear to steamroll levels, you gotta use strategy and a bit of luck to survive
meanwhile fe8 is more of a chill game where you can level up and kill monsters and do other fun rpg stuff
fe7 is somewhere in the middle but has it's own issues, like the fact that lyn mode sucks
all three gba games are top tier for this reason, each one excells at different things
>>342201084
>That one Gaiden chapter in FE6 with the Chest Dragon that has never appeared before and never appears again
FOR WHAT PURPOSE?
>>342201293
Some really awful chapters, Roy is stuck unpromoted for way too long, dumb requirements for true end, gay status effects everywhere, same turn reinforcements
That reminds me I still need to go back and finish my hard mode run
>>342201458
That's weird, you posted some underwhelming girl who isn't even the best myrmidon in her own game instead of Rutger
>>342201084
The one where Nino and Jaffar kill themselves while you rescue Zephiel.
I also quite dislike the one with Echidna because a bunch of brigands appeared out of nowhere and killed two of my units in my first playthough (which was an ironman run), but other than that it's OK.
>>342201293
no assassins
>>342201336
What was so bad about this one? as far as FE6 chapters go its pretty meh
>>342201664
>fe6 is for people that want a balls to the wall strategy game in their fire emblem
That's FE10 i.e. the only legitimately good game in the series.
>>342201691
Whoops wrong picture, well same shit really
>>342201610
That was a sticking point for me actually. That stack two units on top of each other looked fucking awful. Is it better in practice? Protecting weak units was always a key part of the strategy in the games, but now it looks trivial.
>>342201657
I get what you're saying, but oifeys have decent growths and jeigans don't generally. Looking at whether your starting unit is a jeigan or an oifey can colour how you play with them.
>>342201293
Aside from Roy being an exp void for the longest time I don't find anything terrible about it
I'd say 6 is good
>>342201747
It's been a while since I played that one, but I recall it being really fucking long. But all the fe6 chapters seem really fucking long.
>>342201664
>fe6 is for people that want a balls to the wall strategy game in their fire emblem, you can't rely on amazing stats or gear to steamroll levels, you gotta use strategy and a bit of luck to survive
FE6 is fairly easy even on hard mode, you get plenty of units with amazing stats, you have to rely on strategy but certainly not on luck.
>>342201783
fe10 has too much stupid crap in it to make yourself overpowered, especially once you don't have to use the dawn bridade anymore
fe6 is more pure and is consistently hard because the only units that are godlike are pity units that arrive at level 19 like karel or hard mode boosted recruitable enemies
>>342201734
Yeah, this
>Train all 3 thieves to Level 20
>Find out no assassins
>Kill Chad and Asstore out of spite
FE4 and 5 had promotions for thieves, so what the fuck?
>>342201747
Keeping all the units the game throws at you in that chapter alive in hard mode was annoying as fuck
>>342201838
>oifeys have decent growths and jeigans don't generally
You don't understand what I'm saying. They're the same exact shit. "Oifeys" or whatever the fuck you want to call them was a termed coined by ignorant retards that legitimately believed Jeigan=bad. The Japan will only ever make mention of Jeigans and nothing else.
>>342201935
Colm was one of my best units in 8, so when I realized in 6 thieves don't promote I felt fucking betrayed.
>>342201838
The game mechanics and level design are excellent in Fire Emblem Conquest on Lunatic. The other 3ds games have bad level design and FE13 has an atrocious clusterfuck of game mechanics. All the 3ds FE games have terrible storylines. The characters are also generally quite poor though I guess some are OK.
>>342197518

Cath
>>342201890
>FE6 is fairly easy even on hard mode, you get plenty of units with amazing stats
compared to ff7 and ff8 the stats are much worse
>>342201935
thief fighter was stupid as hell, just turning thieves into kinda shit myrmadons is not worth using a promotion item
not being able to upgrade them at all is kinda lame I guess but they wanted thieves to be a unit you use for picking locks and not for murdering people with swords (that's swordmasters and their crazy 30% crit rate in fe6). It's like being mad that dancers don't promote
>>342201920
To be fair 6 becomes significantly easier early on once you figure out the strength of the Rutger / Dieck / Clarine support triangle
>>342202036
I fucking love Colm and he is the best thief of his game, but Reynault was the shit. No exception.

I thought I was so clever for that, honestly.
>>342202163

Well yeah you have like 9999 hp in those games
>>342202172
to be fair fe10 has aether, astra, laguz kings and all kinds of other completely disgusting nonsense as well as basically unlimited money/items
>>342202237
I used a whole sleep staff to keep him from killing himself
Calling Seth useless or a Jeigan is straight up wrong. Seth is one of the strongest units in the series relative to his game and he can pretty much solo the game. The idea of a "Jeigan" archetype when said in the insulting way is implying that they will fall off, which doesn't happen with many of these units past like FE6. Lots of characters are much more like Oifey now. FE7 Marcus, Seth, Titania, can all be useful later in the game without missing a step and can often be better than some of the units you try to train.
Hell you can make use of them early game without making all the exp funnel into them by taking away their great silver weapon and either making them unequipped or giving them something weak so they can aggro enemies and not kill them.
>>342199973
It was still all waifushit. Lynfags are cancer, and no she doesn't get a pass because she was everyone's first waifu.
>>342202021
Then why the fuck do you keep bitching that Seth is a void and not worth using when he clearly is one of the best units in the game and is useful regardless of scenario.
Does anyone else really want to like Ike's character in FE10 but really disappointed with how he's a fag for Soren and something of a douche?
I mean there are some parts where he is straight up unlikable in chapter 3 and 4. Like a retarded brute who thinks he has moral high ground to the dawn brigade and especially towards former allies when he is a goddamn mercenary for a living.
Also I'd rather see him have an ending with a female than fag shit pushed down my throat.
>>342202163
>It's like being mad that dancers don't promote
Hey now, I'd be all for a Dancer promotion so long as they can keep getting more avoid

>>342202339
>Then why the fuck do you keep bitching that Seth is a void and not worth using
I'm not that guy, man. I know Seth is great.
Will say the trainee characters are utter shit though.
>>342201106
What do you mean by hoarding?
Also you can very easily max out every single unit's stats by grinding the Lagdou Ruins for stat items.
>>342202036
Colm is the only thief in this series I have ever been able to truly use effectively, and it helps that he gets an incredibly fast support right off the bat. Characters like Matthew end up being shit no matter what I do with them.
Unfortunately I'm not fond of 8 so I don't get to use him often.
>>342199973

It's been a while since I played 8, but I remember having two ocean seals, or more than enough money to buy the other.

In what regards doesn't he have the moral highground? Micaiah is a cunt who literally wanted to kill hundreds of thousands of people because her prince was an idiot who signed a bloodpact. Also because she was jealous of the fact that Sothe idolized Ike.
>>342203394
Some of the part 2 chapters are tricky too, like 2-1 if Neph doesn't have transfers
3-1 is also a legitimately tricky (if not completely difficult) chapter, I've actually had Ike die there once or twice
>>342203417
Thats the desert chapter in 6 right?
I genuinely laughed out loud when the gay bandits and their 500 units spawned right next to my units and wiped everyone out because I was slowly advicing to make sure I didn't get sniped by hidden units
>>342203584
That one fucking chapter makes Awakening's level design looks good in comparison.
>>342202884
It's the pinnacle of SRPG level design. Although it isn't a very hard game, most maps have some specifically designed challenge and the player must overcome that challenge with tactics. It's rarely a matter of killing tons of enemies, you're always moving through the maps and facing a variety of situations. And the game mechanics have enough depth to allow for some fairly complex tactics, while also being simple and intuitive for basic calculations (as opposed to later games with weapon rank bonus and stuff like that making math complicated).
>>342202989
Leaf is an excellent unit. His stats are low, but his light sword lets him be a good combat unit in Manster, he gives a ton of useful support bonuses, and he can use the King Sword for more utility + it helps him kill stuff. And you have to credit Leaf for being a hard worker; he'll never be put to sleep by a sleep staff and he'll never get fatigued!
>>342203059
Hard to pick. I don't particularly like 17B and I really like 17A, but I also really like a lot of other maps.
>>342203417
That chapter was a fucking nightmare my first playthrough but somehow breezed through it (including the true end requirement) on my hard mode run. I think the trick is to take the upper path so you avoid the faggy wyverns.

>You couldn't recruit Gale with Melody or ZeissAlso, fuck Miledy, Milady, or Miredy as names, they sound fucking stupid
>>342203863
by that chapter his speed is still pretty low so he isn't doubling anything, he doesn't have his supports yet, the enemies aren't complete pushovers, you don't have access to the shop or Neph/Haar so recouces are limited and FoW so it's easy for him to get overwhelmed if you're not prepared
it's still not very likely but it can happen on that chapter
>>342201335
I always have to use a full party of cavaliers and a whole bunch of save states just to get everything. That stage is insane. Also recruiting Cath is the most stupidest thing ever. To make matters worse, she is not even that good. Once you get her, you already have two superior thiefs. Also that desert stage is bullshit too. Limited movement, Wyvern Riders everywhere, fog of war and they force a prepromote on you that can't even move in the desert. Who thought that was a good idea?

>>342201336
Compared to chapter 11A and Chapter 14, this is a cakewalk. FE6 has so much bullshit moments. The worst fucking offender of them all is that the enemy units move at the same time they appear.
I just bought Awakening.
Did I do good? Is it all waifus or is there some gameplay too?
>>342202968
All my horsemen were shit but I kept Seth and Kyle because cavs are my favorite class.
>>342205832
The story is shit. The waifus are good, gameplay can become stale after awhile.
>>342201458
I really enjoy Marisa and her autism but why would they give you this girl so late when Joshua and Colm exists?
>>342205832
Yeah, there's gameplay. It's really flawed compared to the other games but if it's your first FE, you won't even notice.
>>342206047
I never EVER made her a Swordmaster. She doesn't have the strength for it. I make her an Assassin and fill her inventory with Killing Edges and call it a day.
>>342202553
>Naesala and the ravens of Kilvas betrayed us? Again?
That part was incredibly stupid.
>>342205832
I'm replaying Awakening for some reason.
I forgot how bullshit Pair-Up can be coming from Fates holy shit is this bad.
What are the chances of just a FE7 remake/sequel (Before FE6) coming out next 1-2 years?
After the story failure of If, IS wouldn't make another new FE in a new setting would they?
>>342206241
>if it's your first FE, you won't even notice.
I think that's bullshit. Even if you've never played a SRPG before it's quite obvious that FE13 has terrible gameplay mechanics and awful balance (not to mention the story and characters). I'm sure a lot of people avoid the genre because their first SRPG was Awakening.
>>342206392
>What are the chances of just a FE7 remake/sequel (Before FE6) coming out next 1-2 years?
Probably not for a very long time.
>After the story failure of If, IS wouldn't make another new FE in a new setting would they?
Nope they wouldn't. Probably just another game in Marth's world. For a while it was only FE8 that had a standalone world. I guess If can share that spot with it too.
>>342205232
Only casuals let people die. You reset a lot now, but eventually you'll git gud and be able to steamroll the game without a death.
>>342205832
Awakening is fine for a first FE. It does some things pretty well and made a number of nice quality of life changes that the series needed.
It's very easy though and simple to break with Pair Up. A lot of the FE games are pretty easy, honestly. Even starting from 7 or 8 would have been easy.
Fire Emblem pretty much never has a good story.
>>342205232
Everyone does that
>>342205832
Awakening is an alright starter title, though I would have suggested 7 or 8 to be better starting titles. The story is shit, the characters are one-note at best (though still better than Fate's characters and stories). Gameplay basically revolves around babying the everloving fuck out of Chrom and MU, and utterly fucking literally everything in the game with pair-up.
>>342207035
There's still gonna be a fuck up now and thenfucking Charlotte
>>342207309
No. People die when they are killed.
tell me why you married your wife in awakening/fates, /v/
>>342207035
You'll still get the odd crit or multiple low% hits on your character sometimes though, anon.
>>342207597
So my children could get Galeforce
>>342207597
kanpeki da yo
>>342197518
Woah how did you randomize it?
>>342207597
Retard cuteness too good.
>>342207464
>Send Charlotte in to pull an Sniper because she'll survive the encounter
>Nope, 9% crit
>>342207597
Married Tharja because I wanted her to be happy, Married Charlotte because ASS
>>342207636
Or you could avoid any situation where there's any chance of you dying. You can avoid crits with high luck, supports, and certain items. If there's a chance you will die if all the enemy's attacks hit, then use a different unit with better defense and/or position you units so you will survive nomatter what. That's essentially the goal of Fire Emblem: to make and execute reliable tactics.
>>342207597
I married Anna but best girl is Maribelle
>>342207994
fun fact: your luck growths are also based on RNG
>>342208135
fun fact: 0% growths ironman runs are a thing
>>342207994
>That's essentially the goal of Fire Emblem: to make and execute reliable tactics.
This is true, but rare is the time where you're literally 100% invincible to literally everything, and if you are, you're way too fucking overleveled. There is almost always a chance that something can go south somehow. It doesn't mean it's likely, it just means the chance is there. After all, the genre as a whole is about mitigating risk, not removing it.
>>342196905
>Enemy units head straight for Seth
>When I wanted another unit to aggro them for exp
EVERY FUCKING TIME
>>342200232
Xavier is the absolute worst recruitment in the entire series and there's no other comparable answer.
>>342208394
Just take away his weapons
>>342208394
>2016
>not using your paladin as a meat shield
I seriously hope you aren't actually doing this.
>>342208431
Sure, if you just open the doors and hope everything works out then you're probably screwed, but you can recruit xavier pretty easily if you just burn a few thief/sleep staff charges.
I started doing a challenge run of Sacred Stones where I only bring my lowest leveled units into each chapter, on hard mode of course. Trainees count as like -10. I've been doing well so far, up to chapter 8 now. Figured this would be the easiest FE to do this kind of challenge with. Will it at all be possible to do this in the harder FE titles? Barring Maniac mode, Path of Radiance might be the next easiest. The more roster heavy FEs might be another problem altogether. Either way, I recommend giving it a shot if you're looking for a new way to play one of these games.
On an unrelated note, in Genealogy, if Dew is killed before lowering the bridge in that one snow chapter, does that shit just get lowered automatically or what?
>>342207597
>Awakening
I liked Olivia's voice and design
>Fates
I liked Hinoka's voice and design
>>342208853
>On an unrelated note, in Genealogy, if Dew is killed before lowering the bridge in that one snow chapter, does that shit just get lowered automatically or what?
Nope, Sigurd has to go through the mountains.
>>342208991
>marrying Hinoka when there's a superior tomboy in her route
>>342209165I never used her because I thought she was a classic pre-promote with shit growths and no supports.
>>342209062
Oh god. Well thanks, I'm glad I won't have to test that on my own.
>>342207597
>Awakening
She was too cute. Also liked her design. Every time a new girl popped up I ended up getting drawn back to Lissa.
>Fates
I just wanted to make her happy after she got BBQd in Hoshido. Her My Room dialogue was too much for my heart.
On a side note, fuck IntSys for being a bunch of lazy incompetent fucks.
>>342209347
For shame, she's a great unit. Sure, she get's overshadowed by Ryouma who joins at the same time, but who dosn't look bad compared to Ougiman?
>>342209439
>On a side note, fuck IntSys for being a bunch of lazy incompetent fucks.
Like always.
>>342209439
I still haven't even seen Ophelia because Odin is so fucking bad, holy shit. Maybe on my Revelations run.
>>342209770
>Odin is so fucking bad
I get triggered every time somebody says Odin is bad. He's the best 1st Generation mage. Nyx can go to hell, she's too damn paper. Leo's a really close second, but he's not fast enough.
>>342209542
I don't use her cause she end up dead anyways.
>>342207597
Lissa's energetic and bold personality alongside her 10/10 CUTE design were irresistibleand reminded my of my girlfriend at the time before that relationship turned into a shitshow :^). The discovery that marrying her gave you BEST SON and adorable blonde Morgan just sealed the deal three times over.
Mozu's role as the earnest, plain village girl fresh from a terrible loss actually made her stand out in Fates' cast of exaggeratedly colorful designs. Plus her MU support noted the parallel in how they had been sheltered from the world in opposite ways before meeting, which felt like a sweet rapport.I'm glad I ended up stumbling into Mozu's nice support, since it distracted me from marrying my lewd AU granddaughter.
>>342209770
Odin has a distinct advantage over Nyx in that he isn't guaranteed to die to a single physical attack. His varied (read: unfocused) stat growths are a pain in the ass, but at least it makes him flexible with some investment.
And putting the time in to let him breed Ophelia is worth quite a bit if you wanted a serious mage on your team in Conquest.
>>342212157
I really do like Odin as a unit, pretty much for every reason you listed. He's also more likely to be able to hit things than Nyx.
I'm doing a randomized run of FE7 and started with Lyn Hard Mode. Should I promote Cavalier!Wil with the knights crest I got from Wallace or wait? He's the only one eligible and while he'll miss out on a bunch of levels, it'll be nice to have an extra crutch in the early goings (gonna do Hector mode after Lyns story).
>>342212157
Odin, Nyx, and Ophelia are all terrible units. Odin also happens to be particularly annoying as a character. Fortunately, Leo is the only mage you need (plus elise, felicia, and levin sword kamui).
However, if you're doing a lunatic ironman run (assuming no online stuff, no cheats, etc) you might want to drag Odin around until he S ranks someone. It's kind of a waste of a deployment slot but at least he can do some chip damage from range. Drop him once you get Ophelia. She isn't worth using either, but you can give the spirit dust and tomes from her paralogue to your good units.
>>342203073
>Fighter
What the hell? You're supposed to make him a pirate/berserker to utilize his stats. Support chances with his dad make him even more powerful. I never had a bad Ross in the history of playing FE8. I do however always get a mediocre Ameila even with making her a general with Ross support.
>>342216396
I wanted to see if he could pull off Hero. I mean, he didn't die, but he was just really slow.
>>342203795
I'm mad that you could not recruit Galle and you had to kill him. Everything about this character screams recruit. So I had Milady kill him instead. It's the fair thing to do, I guess.
>>342206392
Never but if they did I could see them merging 6 and 7 together. And based on what parings you did, you could have FE 6 kids have different stats.
>>342201336
FUCK that one, I used Marcus and the other Paladin just to get the enemy numbers down a bit so I could have a chance. The only one doing good at that time for me was Dieck iirc.
>>342216805
>Hero
No, no he can't. Gerik is only good for Hero. Most of the class tree in 8 is just a messed up way to gimp your character. Always do Pirate/Berserker You only get one of those in the game and he's terrible.
>>342203795
This is the chapter that Cecilia died. It was the only character that I did not restart the chapter for because I couldn't give enough fucks to replay it again.
>>342197518
>Ameilia
>Valkyrie
what's it like not being HUGE
>>342200503
kek, that was actually pretty funny. I just unequipped my weapons and surrounded him
>>342217636
>Cecilia
I remember I tried to use her but she's too fucking slow, like all the pre promotes in FE6. I even made Roy marry her, but she couldn't do fucking ANYTHING useful. Clarine all of the day
>>342218072
I had her mainly backup everyone with wind tomes.
Clarine is still the best 1973 but I never used Rutger since mine was trash and got no str growths.
I had Dieck, Lillina, Gonzalez, Ray, Lugh, Clarine, Cecilia, Alan, Lance, and a couple others maybe.
>>342197518
MAN WHAT A BAD UNIT! WHO WOULD EVER USE AMELIA?
>>342218364
fuck off Gilliam I know it's you
>>342203863
I've only had Ike die once on me ironically on easy mode due to a thunder mage critting.
>>342196905
You got super screwed man
>>342219416
Spider Gilliam?
Pretty shit desu
