    yeah i'm basically the tyrant of those things but you're free to have a debate and/or proposal about it with me here or on discord

     

    I'd recommend sticking with the Male/Female/Undisclosed options and adding Non-Binary for the people who deem it appropriate. If not maybe recommend people to put their pronouns in their signature if they want?

    It's clear the pronouns thing is divisive but I think there's a middle ground here.

    be like that but my opinion still stands and there are ONLY two genders male and female  no neutral  your born a male your a male  transition to a femal your a female simple science really this whole thing is just because some jumped up sjw thiught lets give people more thigns to be bithcy about at this was born.

    imnot homophobic  like i said i have gay frinds and they are hilarious so are my lesbian friends but this stupidity has to stop

    While I somewhat agree with your opinion I feel like you could have been more polite with how you expressed it. A lot of people here seem to take gender identity pretty seriously so at the very least they warrant some respect, especially if you want other people to respect your opinions. 

    I think the change to a pronouns setting is a bit odd but enough people wanted it so it makes sense.

    I have the same issue, I've tried it with both Mesen and Nestopia but the game doesn't make a save file on either. I wonder why that is.

    I realized why later down the line. It turns out you have to patch an already patched rom. So you have to make sure to patch it twice in order for the saving to work. Hope that helps!

    I think the figurines should be selling on eBay, Amazon, or other seller websites. But, what which figurines from Genealogy of the Holy War are you planning on getting and what figurines do you have as of right now? I'll might try to look for one that are selling for helping out tomorrow.

    Edit: Ok, I managed to take a look at eBay unfortunately, the only figurine that was available on eBay is Sigurd and second bad news, the seller priced the figurine for about around $75 with around $20 shipping.

    Here's the Sigurd figurine that I found in eBay.

    Thanks for looking! I'm honestly ok with any of the figures although I'm giving an edge to Eldigan Lewyn and Tailtiu. Unsurprisingly they're crazy expensive. Guess I have to keep looking!

  5. I've been eyeing the Genealogy of the Holy War Exceed a Generation figurines for several years but now that I want to buy some they totally disappeared from the market. 

    I felt this would be the best place to ask about where to potentially find them and possibly locate some sellers. It makes sense that they only got rarer and more expensive over time but I have trouble coming up with the justification to pay more than $15 per figure at best. Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction! 

  6. As far as I know there isn't much stated in the game besides what the people above stated, but if I were put myself into the world I assume there was some conflict in Silesse and possible Agustria. We know Silesse held out for a while and there may have still been some self interested Agustrian nobles left.

    Given what we know there's a good chance they were either taken care of quickly or paid-off/replaced with nobles favorable to Grannvale like how Arvis did with Dozel/Velthomer/Friege/etc.

  7. I've been trying to play FE1 on a NES emulator since yesterday but I found that the game doesn't actually save when I close the emulator. I'm using FCEUX and it works with other games like Zelda. 

    I saw a post from several years ago that had a similar issue but the solution didn't work for me. Anyone have any idea why the emulator doesn't create a .sav file for the game? I'm using the Megakoopax patch btw.

    Thanks in advance

  8. I think it should be important to consider when the Loptous tome is passed down too. I assume only one person can be possessed at a time so whenever the crown prince comes of age they are granted the tome and the current emperor loses their power. I guess it would be during this time that their now-possessed son would kill them or seize power themselves. This would make sense since Julius got the Loptous tome some time before gen 2 begins, so it would have only been a matter of time before he declared himself emperor as asserted direct control, even though he was clearly calling the shots instead of Arvis.

    Female major loptous can be a good explanation.

    Celice, Julius, Julia, for example if they all alive, there is a possible future war for a sequel game between them versus Julia's son/husband for the throne. You'll have some very short live emperor.

    Anyway, Loptyr is non canon now.

    Neither Seliph nor Julia carry Loptyr blood so I'm not sure how that would bring any more conflicts with regards to the Loptyr cult. Also what do you mean that Loptyr isn't cannon? I guess he's called Loptous now if that's what you're going for.

  10. I find it really interesting that a lance lord has the most votes. I think Ephraim and Shareena left a good mark on the community. Also it looks like axes still don't have many fans. What really surprises me is the large amount of votes for the lord being from a military background as opposed to a noble one. Every lord except for Ike has been noble so I guess there's an itch for more Ike-like lords.

    King Seliph. The empire was disbanded. There is a unique mechanic that's specifically designed to keep them from falling in love. There's nothing to ponder, Seliph x Julia does not happen.  He's more likely to marry Lana than anything.

    Another Seliph x Julia denier. We'll show them once the Genealogy remake comes out and shows copious amounts of uncensored incest!

    I appreciate all your feedback, the one thing I would argue about the holy weapons is that if they were nerfed I would say that the dreadlords (and certain bosses) should be nerfed a bit too!

    Very true! I guess the whole conversation comes down to how IS would want to balance the game to be both easier and accessible yet challenging and fun.

    • Trading
    • CONVOY/SUPPLY (and at the end of gen 1 ALL ITEMS go to supply)

    Agreed, the inventory system is pretty outdated in FE4 and I think adding trading and a convoy would make the game a bit easier in a good way.

    • Support conversations with an S support causing marriage (and replacing the weird love system)
    • Easy to recognize mid-battle conversations (like when you selected a character in the 3ds games and saw the ! above someone's head)

    Also good. SoV pulled it off really well and its honestly the best form of supports we've seen so far so there's no point in taking a step back.

    5 hours ago, Logjam said:
    • Balanced legendary weapons (decreased Mt and stat bonuses)
    • Repairs(?) if shops are kept the same then repair should also be in the game, but if shops have an unlimited stock and more availability then repairs should be removed

    There are definitely good intentions here but I don't know if nerfing Holy Weapons will improve the game in any way since they're supposed to be really strong. The game balance even plays on this with the Dreadlords. You're also right with repairs but I don't see that being changed at all since SoV used the same item system it already had.

    SPLIT UP CHAPTERS

    • Each chapter should be split into several chapters with one seize objective (except in cases where enemies are attacking your castle)
    • Maps do not need to be exact replicas, I think that they could be a little liberal with shrinking the map sizes and splitting 1 chapter into 2 or 3, but doing whatever needs done to still make it close to the older game but with a length that is more enjoyable
    • If this is implemented, you should not be able to deploy every single unit

    Here is where we disagree. The long chapters are a major part of the game's overall design and I think they should stay that way. There are dull zones with no enemies but a little bit of re-balancing or just adding more enemies could fix that. Maybe a mechanic where you can call your units to a recently seized castle would help but that's all up to how the game would be balanced. Also, deploying every unit is something really unique and great about FE4 and we only ever saw that before in Gaiden/SoV for about 99% of the game. Using every unit is pretty rewarding and due to the game's scale, you kind of need to have as many powerful units at once.

    Recruitment of the substitute characters

    • (With a reclass for one of the dancers because we can't have two)
    • If this is implemented, you should not be able to deploy every single unit

    Definitely agree with adding more characters, possibly in paralogue chapters. This addresses your second point too, since paralogue chapters would use a certain set of characters.

    6) I would like it if whenever you're assaulting a castle you are taken to an indoor castle map like in the GBA games instead of merely killing the one guy guarding the castle and seize. No, you have to work for it, you need to enter the castle itself defeat the forces in there, kill the boss and then you can seize the castle.

    As much as that would be really fun, the issue I see with this is that it would add even more enemies to each chapter and make them even longer than they already are. The way they handle sieges in FE4 is the same as all the other games so I don't mind it as much. I guess a good alternative is to include indoor levels as paralogues or something.

    From my perspective, Manfroy has a stranglehold on this game’s plot. Majority of the events in the game are because of Manfroy. He has the power to kidnap Julia and Deirdre only need their location, and nothing bad happens to his entire plan until Seliph arrives in the final chapter. At least there could have been setbacks to his schemes.

    Now I get what you mean. You are right in saying that there are no setbacks but honestly if we had more dialogue with him and his scheming, there would be a better understanding of his plot. Sigurd could be considered a setback but we never get to see Manfroy's reaction to Sigurd's exploits. His scheme could use more fleshing out in the game.

    The point I'm making here is that  Arvis smuggled Tyrfing to us and set up the final chapter so we could win. Not because Seliph outsmarted the villains or through the power of friendship. Because Arvis wanted to lose, if he didn't do that, Seliph would have little chance fighting Julius.

    There is truth here, although I let it slide as Arvis trying to redeem himself in the end. This can go either way depending on what you expect of Arvis as a character.

    Most of my problems with Lewyn come from the second generation. where he hasn’t done anything besides point us in a few directions. And keeping so much of his plan hidden. With him, at the last minute, abandons both his kids, leaving them to rule Silesia, with no experience, without him.

    Like I said before, that isn't really Lewyn. It's most likely Forseti controlling his body, much like how Loptyr controls Julius.

    Reduce the amount of telling compared to the amount shown, so much of the game's lore is told.I want to see for myself Ishtar saving the kids rather than a person inform me.

    I really like this and I'm surprised that no one else brought it up before. A lot of subtle details can be made more poignant with the ability to witness them as opposed to being informed after it happens.

    Don't make the villains hold all the power. For majority of the story, Manfroy and Julius hold all the cards. Able to successfully manipulate almost the entire continent. It cheapen  Sigurd and Seliph's journey when they don't stand a chance from the start.

    I think you're missing the point here. It's not uncommon for protagonists to fight an uphill battle against a really powerful foe and that's what the second generation depicts. They don't stand a chance from the beginning but they earn their place and overcome these threats in the end anyway. It makes the story more grand.

    Reduce the plot armor from the villains, Manfroy is one of the most ridiculous antagonists in the series, the only reason his plan succeeded was because the story wanted him to. How did he captured Deirdre, because the plot wanted it, and the list goes on.

    Once again I think you missed the point. It's not that Manfroy has plot armor, in fact no one even gets the chance to fight him until the final chapter. His plan succeeded because it was unbelievably complicated and flexible enough to take advantage of Sigurd's victories in Verdane and Agustria. He's really one of the smartest antagonists given the fact that he flips all of the protagonist's achievements on their head. He could benefit from a stronger motive, however. He seems stereotypically evil just for the sake of it.

    Change Lewyn completely 

    As one of the best characters in FE4, I'm confused as to what you don't like about him. His appearance in gen 2 is, although weaker in some aspects, still considerably interesting given the fact that it might not even be him.

  17. 10 hours ago, Jonahtron said:

    2 points. 1. The fact that half the crusader weapons are in the enemy hands while half are in your hands is just a cool sort of set story bit. Making the player able to use all of them would kinda ruin that.

    The idea I was trying to convey is that the other holy weapons should be earned after defeating the previous owner. In that way, you still have to fight other holy weapon users but you actually get to use it(potentially) after you kill them. Since they only appear in the end game, you will only really be able to use every holy weapon for the fight against the Deadlords, which I think is pretty fitting.

    2. Ok. I’ve posted this several times now but people don’t seem to get this. Incest in fe4 is portrayed as bad. Not cousin incest, as that’s considered normal in Japan, but Sibling incest is a huge no. Eldigan is a married man, let me remind you, so his weird relationship with his sister is cheating, plus look where it gets him. Lachesis pleads with him to stop fighting, and he gets his head chopped off. Plus, do I even need to explain Arvis and Deirdre? The product of their incest literally brings about the Antichrist. Saying “Seliph and Julia should be able to fuck because haha fe4 lol” is just missing the point so hard it hurts. 

    As for this, incest is basically a meme in FE4 at this point and isn't something to be taken too seriously, just as the pseudo-incest in Fates was just more fanservice than anything meaningful. That being said, Eldigan and Lachesis's relationship is meant to be portrayed as a tragic and forbidden love, much like Camus and Nyna(whom which they are based on). The game lets on very little of this perspective but side works emphasize it more, that is if we are to consider their representation of the characters as canon or at least believable. 

    And Seliph x Julia is just for those crit Auras and Nagas haha.

    I don't think making someone like Ishtore recruitable would affect the plot very much at all. it would probably just add a few conversations to the game.

    I was referring to the game balance in that there is another thunder mage in the party alongside Arthur and Tini. I think it's doable, but the issue lies in picking the right character(s) to add that also add something new to the roster instead of another cavalier for example.

    The "It's Fire Emblem" thing doesn't work for Julia x Seliph because characters haven't been able to pair up if they're blood related in the past. "It's FE4" would work though I guess.

    Good point. Seliph and Julia should be able to pair up, it's FE4. Haha

    I'd love to see cutscenes in this game. Breaks during chapters would be stupid and undermine the Genealogy of the Holy War experience. Being able to save after taking a castle would work just fine or just being able to save mid chapter. I'd love to have all Legendary Weapons be usable. It was kinda disappointing to me that they weren't usable at all in Genealogy. Also if they do this they better fucking let Ulster use axes as a hero.

    This right here is exactly what I have been thinking! From a gameplay perspective it just makes sense to get all the weapons, and letting Ulster use axes means he can use Helswath like he deserves.

    Honestly if they go the new recruitable unit route with this game at all like they did with SoV I hope they make it so you can just recruit characters who were already there but not recruitable. Characters like Ishtore, Liza, and Jabarro come to mind. Jabarro was a pretty generic character but given a non generic design maybe they could allow Ares to recruit him or something like that. I'd love to see Ishtore and Liza be recruitable. Ishtore is a pretty likable character and he's presented in the game as not really being a bad person at all. If they really wanted they could even make some more Thracia characters recruitable in the second gen.

    I like the direction of this but I wonder how it would affect the gameplay if you have such a different roster from the original. SoV added just two new characters with variable impact on the gameplay, so if they are to add new characters in a Genealogy remake, they should add 1-2 and have it make perfect sense plot-wise. There are lots of options so I'm open to possibility.
