Warriors (particularly medieval warriors, which is the type of setting Fire Emblem is based on) would never really fear death that much. I mean the heroes that all of these warriors looked up to were heroes because that killed a shit load of people and were amazing warriors who were not afraid to get down and dirty. The role of a general, commander, tactician and others is to make tactics that will win with the least amount of casualties possible. Yes Ephraim is headstrong and reckless in the beginning but he evolves into an amazing king and leader, not to mention the other role of a general/king/commander: to inspire his troops, which, as I mentioned about Forde, Kyle and Seth, Ephraim is amazing at. His soldiers not only willingly risk their lives for him as they do it GLADLY. That's the mark of a good leader, as well as the fact that he never picks fights he can't win (was that joke made already?) He's reckless at times, but he's still careful, calculated, an amazing tactician and an amazing fighter. As good of a tactician as Roy seems to be... I'd be a lot happier serving someone that actually can get shit done themselves.

If this thread is all about leadership then while a lot of people seem to go for Roy I personally have to go for Ephraim (mostly because I haven't played Binding Blade). While YES he totally is a Gary Stu (particularly in the way of stats like wtf man) Ephraim shows time and time again that he is an amazing tactician. Yes, it seems Gary Stu-ish that he manages to not only take Renvall on his own but also escape Valter and then return in time to save Eirika, but when you think about it... HE TOOK A NIGH IMPENETRABLE FORTRESS WITH ONLY 3 SOLDIERS (2 if you don't count Orson as most people avoid using him); escaped a platoon of Wyvern Ryders AND VALTER despite A- being an infantry unit, B- only having 2 cavaliers to help him and C- escaping eastward... FURTHER INTO GRADO; Sunk the Ghost ship that apparently no one else was capable of handling and invaded that largest military nation in the continent with a small retinue of soldiers. Despite being somewhat reckless he clearly shows the same concern for casualties as Roy (particularly when they land in Taizel and Seth suggests the whole sacrificial lambs thing) and the only real blunders he's ever had in the game were A- Leaving Renais instead of protecting it (He was kinda busy taking the fight to Grado though), B- Getting tricked into taking Renvall (He fixed that issue right up though) and C- Letting Fomortiis take the Sacred Stone of Renais (however, Lyon tricked and stunned him, forcefully taking the stone from him... unlike a certain someone else...) It's also pretty obvious that Forde, Kyle and Seth enjoy being led by him so he must have good traits to him right? It's also interesting to see how he evolves from an amazing fighter and tactician that cares nothing for his noble role into the next "Peerless Warrior King". Gary for office 2016

Thanks for the welcome folks! I might as well mention that my activity might be a little odd once I do get a job since I share a computer with my sister.

So I've been trying to use this on a Rom Hack (Particularly the Weapon Reversal Mod, since it gives you a lot more options for the female characters without getting the male sprites) and it does not seem to work. :/ First it tells me that the item table offset has been updated and the item table might have been repointed. Then it tells me that if the number of items has changed then only the items up to the original amount will be used. I assume this is because the mod alters Reginleif and the Rapiers to a different weapon type (axe and spear respectively) This I click OK and it seems to be randomizing. It then does the standard warning on how I'm playing FE8 and to avoid the easy mode due to the tutorial and after that the problem arises. An error pops up saying that "a non processed exception occurred in the application." and "The object reference was not defined as an object instance". The original message was in Portuguese so I translated to the best of my ability. Help please?

Hello there. I'm Kyne but if you're interested my real name is Richard (well Ricardo but English speakers can't do Portuguese pronunciations soooo...) I'm 19 years old and live in Portugal where I was born. Mistakes were made during high school that resulted in me dropping out with only my 9th grade completed FOR NOW but I WILL finish 12th grade eventually.(Hopefully next year.) I'm not exactly new to Fire Emblem as I've been playing the games for a couple years now but I'm broke as all hell so the only games I've played so far are Blazing Sword, Sacred Stones (My personal favorite) and Shadow Dragon. I didn't even finish Shadow Dragon either as i was playing it on a friend's DS. My favorite Fire Emblem character is probably Hector since he is a lot more interesting than Eliwood or Lyndis (and if we're going to be honest Gary Stu and arguably the most naíve lord ever shouldn't exactly earn that spot) though Gerik is very close to my heart as well. I'm interested in PoR and RD but I don't own a GameCube so until I can find a job it's probably not gonna happen. I'm an aspiring game designer and one of my ideas at the moment (and the one I'm actively working on right now) is a strategy game HEAVILY based on Fire Emblem, particularly the GBA games, and as such am very interested in this whole modding thing but it seems REALLY complicated so for now I'll just sit on my ass PLAYING mods instead. Holy wall of text I'm bad at these. Hope to fit in here nicely. Cheers!
