As a character: Say'ri - I'm mostly upset that they didn't flesh her out more; she's rather dull. Gerome - Probably my least favorite. Just get over it and make use of the opportunity you have. Brady - I guess I just don't get him. I don't hate him, but while I understand him trying to be different from Maribelle, I don't like their direction. As a unit (assuming base class): Ricken - Aside from starting C in magic, he just feels inferior in every way to Miriel. So useless. Brady - Unless you make Donnel his father for Aptitude (which I guess is the "correct" pairing given his manner of speech), he seems to be the worst child in the game - by a lot. Doesn't excel at anything. Stahl & Sully - They just seem lackluster compared to some of the cavaliers of the past. Or maybe it's just that specialized units feel more powerful in this game than in the others.

Something like "leekt." http://translate.google.com/#de/ja/licht Click the speaker symbol for pronunciation

I say "tar-ya" a la Tarja Turunen. I have no idea if it's correct, but it seems somewhat Germanic/Swedish/whathaveyou where there is no actual "th" sound.

More or less how I feel about it. FE9 was much better written, but FE10 has much more replay value. I find myself replaying FE10 more, but it's not necessarily because I dislike FE9. Also, the opening cinematic for Part III of FE10 is amazing. Probably my favorite Fire Emblem moment.

Yeah, I mean, the GBA enjoyed a healthy period of saleability after the DS was released, but it would be nice (and potentially better for sales) if they got it out ASAP.

I never said it was practical. I said it was the only good use of the skill. Most of the time, it lowers your expected damage, but this is a rare occasion where it doesn't.

A tad late, but Baselard!Volke with Gamble is pretty effective. In fact, Volke with the Baselard is probably the only good use of Gamble since he can get 65+% (displayed) hit and nearly 100% crit when trained a little. Plus, I find Sothe's Str cap limiting, and Bane is a rather frustrating skill.

The game brings her for you anyway.

Eh, I'm quite excited about it. I don't think it's too shady of them if this is "merely" book 2 - after all, we DO have a very nice remake of FE1/FE3 Book 1 (whichever way you'd like to think about it) that's recent enough that a Book 1 doesn't need to be included, but also not so near to the present that it seems like they could have taken care of it in one game. Obviously FE11 sold well enough that they felt a sequel was a good idea, and FE3 was a logical choice.

Uh, if you say so. I don't see it.
