  1. The Shadow Yato's darker color scheme just makes it look cooler when slicing through enemies. Too bad its boosts are +3 rather than +4 (as with the Blazing Yato) when you use it due to the -1 to Def/Res a katana gives.
  2. A pretty unlikely one, but Basilio. Who wouldn't want to play as the Fire Emblem version of Samuel L. Jackson? Axes and Bows seems like a fun combination too. Bonus points for actually having the starting class of Warrior.
  3. I would kidnap them. You can make a lot of money with a hostage situation, you know? Eh, I would just give them my business card and send them on their way.
  4. Haha, it seems that people are deeply arguing over what is just a political statement against Putin, who is kind of a monarch himself.
  5. I think our current system is pretty fine - allow me to choose when to reclass, and having two promotions to choose from. Not having to buy a Master Seal when my unit turns 20, though, might be nice.
  6. Hahaha, Awakening was very controversial back in the day, but now it's received more warmly since Fates is released. It's a natural cycle all fanbases go through, and I bet the Switch FE will have the same reaction. More on topic, I am definitely disappointed in the lack of DLC, especially the lack of localized scrambles. There are many characters which had interesting ideas, but ultimately were underutilized due to the game's large workload - I once thought that Scrambles could fix that issue.
  7. Grammar is a very important institution for society. Just by examining one's prose, I can tell everything that I need to know about that person.
  8. Have Sky Knight Benny (S Azura) por favor.
  9. It seems we have some... interesting people here. Sakura best girl
  10. Is it possible to use Entrap on Xander in Birthright Chapter 26?
  11. I picked Izana. (Yes, the Izana!) He was the most hilarious character, what else can I say? Sakura was my pick for the female character - I was a lot like her when I was younger, haha. I picked male, as I am a male. Plus, female Kana is far less irratating than Male Kana. And finally, I picked Conquest, as it has amazing gameplay, even if the story... isn't the best, to say the least.
  12. Agreed with Scarlet and Shura. Another is Kaze, at least in Conquest. You'd think he'd have more to say when he's invading his country and fighting his friends and family, but he really just disappears. There could've been some interesting dialogue where he could question the Avatar's behavior. Plus, you'd think that more people than just his brother would call him out for defecting.
  13. Well, in Birthright, s/he's decently assertive and stuff. An okay character. In Conquest, s/he's just way to melodramatic to really like. When s/he spends every chapter whining about his/her choice, it's difficult to get invested in the story. Plus, s/he is very passive and won't stand up to Hans, Iago, and Garon. In Chapter 13, why did s/he stand around idly when Hans was killing civilians? It really made his/her words seem hypocritical. In Revelation, s/he was also annoying, though admittedly that route feels rushed plot-wise. S/he's a naïve idiot for most of the route, and what makes it worse is that the game goes out of its way to avoid giving him/her character development. At least in Conquest, s/he at least felt like less of a static character. Plus, s/he really takes a backseat in this plot. Come to think of it, does s/he have any bearing on the plot in the latter half, aside from the Anthony arc and a scene with Mikoto? He's just really annoying. So, in two out of three routes, he's annoying. VERDICT: BAD CHARACTER
  14. I would go with the side that didn't try to just kill me (Hoshido). I'd personally want revenge after Hans "killed" my father figure, and my adoptive father giving me something that could've killed me. Joining Nohr would be equivalent to suicide. I'd try hard to get the Nohr siblings to see my side, though.
  15. Conquest. The lackluster writing isn't enough to take down the amazing map design that really pushes you to the limits to think of good strategy. Many maps have multiple ways to approach them. And there are also a bunch of good characters as well, such as Niles, Leo, Beruka, Benny, and Elise. Takumi also is one of, if not the best antagonist in the game, and the last few chapters where you fight against the Hoshidan siblings are particularly memorable.
  16. Bojack Horseman is amazing. Never have I seen a show that can make me this emotional. It's actually a really deep show, and the characters are some of the most three-dimensional that I've ever seen.
  17. That is an interesting question. The thing many people need to realize is that religion was originally a source of unity. Gathering around that allowed ancient peoples to gather together into groups, form civilizations, and spread their ideas. The Catholic Church is a major reason Europe was ahead of the game, as it took most of the European tribes (with a couple of exceptions, like the Sami) and created a widespread civilization early on. This allowed news to spread more quickly, and more inventions to be made. On the other hand... Naturally, as you can expect, the road to progress is not a clean one. There were a LOT of atrocities committed just to unite all the people in Europe, and that's not going into the missions elsewhere. A lot of deaths relating to imperialism have religion to blame, and one just has to glance at the Middle Ages to see how religion could bring people to their worst. However, in the end I'll say religion has done more good than harm. It allowed society to advance further, and let's be honest, even without religion humans would make up other reasons to go to war. It's human nature. Religion definitely can seem to be a bit of an artifact nowadays, having seemingly outlived its purpose, but it's hard to deny the historical good religion has accomplished.
  18. Are we seriously coming to this? I bet many of the people in favor of this are also in favor of bulldozing Native American burial grounds to create the keystone pipeline. I've always found the "pro-life" movement to be ridiculous, honestly. A fetus is not any more "alive" than my kidney. Sure, it's composed of living cell tissue, but suggesting it is anything near sentient is ludicrous.
  19. Considering how badly Kiribati is being affected by global warming, especially considering that the president encouraged his citizens to leave, I don't think they give a fuck about what happens to them anymore really.
  20. A language is a unique mindset and a unique perspective of the world. There are countless stories, thoughts, and viewpoints that will be lost if we just allow these languages to die. I am, in fact, trying to learn Irish, the language of my ancestry. It's very different from English in how words function, for instance "I have the cat" is "Tá an cat agam", literally "The cat is to me". Such things will be lost if we allow a few languages to outcrowd the rest. It's why I support Esperanto - use something extremely simple to facilitate world communication, while allowing everyone to keep their native languages.
  21. I'm gonna join the choir and say that Gunter is the worst unit in terms of gameplay. When you are pretty much useless in the second chapter of Revelation, and not that great beforehand, you have a good contender for the worst unit ever. He's only really decent for pair-up bonuses with the Avatar in Conquest. But my least favorite unit overall is Male Kana. At least with other units that I don't like, I can tolerate their voices. Kana's voice is nails on a chalkboard for me. Plus, he doesn't really have a personality at all, while say Peri and Yukimura at least have something. Clearly the worst character.
  22. I like him. Considering Ylisse's past with Plegia, it made him probably the deepest villain, and I do wish that aspect of him was focused on a bit more. Plus, he has a nice sense of humor. He probably would've made a better antagonist for the duration of the game, maybe having a Heel-Face Turn when it's time to fight Grima.
