  1. I'm not giving up on this. I've created a discord server for the project and I'm hoping three weeks are still enough time to get something done, so if you wanna keep up with the project, here's where to go now: https://discord.gg/tgXd8cPK
  2. A day passing every turn would canonize some rather wacky nonsense in several chapters where people get left for dead and survive long enough for you to reach the castle with no evident medical attention.
  3. Hard decision between the affinity system of 6-10 and the Fates system with reclass rewards. I love them both.
  4. I hate how believable this is. Especially since I absolutely hated the game for the worst reasons imaginable in my youth.
  5. This is the correct answer I believe. It's Japan-only so it has that going against it, and I don't think there are that many people who like Gaiden and don't like SoV more. It definitely had the most "complete" remake with the fewest controversial gimmicks or changes.
  6. They don't refuse it so much as say it's politically and biologically impossible. He has to be told it literally is not an option before he adapts his plans.
  7. So I'm in a curious predicament here. Playing through the entire series for the posterity of this forum made me realize something about my opinions on the games: When it comes to Fire Emblem, I have absolutely no overlap between games I love for their story and games I love for their gameplay. No game in the series ever exceeds "okay" in both categories for me. The only exceptions are Birthright and Conquest, and only if you include "so bad it's good" as "loving a game for its story". And if I have to choose (which I do, see above), I'll pick gameplay over story every time. Of the three games in the series that have my favorite stories, 7 is the only one I have any desire to play again any time soon, because the gameplay, while deeply flawed in many ways, has a lot of appeal to me, especially when I'm in a more casual but not quite mood. 4 is just too much of a slog and 9 just gets too simple and is too long. It'll be ages before the story will be enough of a draw to bring me back to either on their own. Meanwhile games like Engage and Fates bring me back despite their terrible stories, because when I'm not in the mood for them, I don't have to deal with them. Is it weird that I can have that attitude about a franchise I claim to be my favorite of all time? Yes. Can I justify it in any intellectual or emotional way? No, not at this moment. It's been eating away at me ever since I finished marathoning the series. But Fire Emblem is the sort of series I love in spite of its flaws, and in one case because of them.
  8. The latter. He's notoriously stubbornly opinionated about things he admits he has little to no personal experience about. He has a long history of this on the forum.
  9. That line is definitely worth going into in order to pick up Rally Speed, but it's really not worth it before she can use staves in it on promotion. I tend to make Sakura into a rally bot given her innate access to luck, magic and speed rallies. If you have her marry Jakob, you can add in res, as well as inspiration to double her defensive aura and add on +2 attack.
  10. Alas. But as a result, nobody needs to feel pressured to make an early-game healer or a thief! I've got those covered!
  11. Alright! My contributions have arrived! Based on my own take on the Anna archetype I came up with for a fangame idea, introducing the twin merchant sisters Sharon and Karen! Sharon: Class: Troubadour Level: 8 (Chapter 8 ) Primary Skill: Profiteer Secondary Skill: Rally Defense Boon/Bane: +Lck, -Str Stats: 20 HP, 3 Str, 9 Mag, 14 Skill, 11 Spd, 16 Lck, 5 Def, 6 Res Castle Address: 16451-79517-18461-47154 Karen: Class: Ninja Level: 8 (Chapter 8 ) Primary Skill: Salvage Blow Secondary Skill: Trample Boon/Bane: +Lck, -Mag Stats: 23 HP, 7 Str, 1 Mag, 15 Skill, 15 Spd, 11 Lck, 9 Def, 6 Res Castle Address: 10181-79639-80365-67102 Lemme know if you have any trouble collecting these characters and I'll fix whatever issue there is.
  12. Yeah, very fair point. Alright. I should have mine up by tomorrow, and I will post my utility sisters' info then!
  13. Important update: I'm sorry, my instructions were really bad due to misunderstanding how avatar recruitment works. Please do *not* unequip the secondary skill when prepping your character, because then people who recruit your character won't have the skill on them at all. Just leave it on your character. Whoever recruits them will just need to unequip it themselves. I have updated the rules to reflect this, and I apologize for the confusion. ...Actually this means there's really no point in banning nobility or dragon fang if people want to make those the personal skill, huh? Any thoughts on this point? @Eltosian KadathTagging you just to be safe.
  14. @Eltosian Kadath Your contribution is deeply appreciated! Given that I'm enough of a 3DS Fire Emblem fanatic to own two carts and a backup 3DS, I think it's finally time to whip that thing out for this. I haven't built the characters yet, but I'm just letting people know in advance what I'm building to let you guys know these niches are taken care of: I'll be biting the bullet and using my ability to make two characters to make a healer and thief. So we'll have that utility out of the way and everyone else can focus on the more exotic builds. I still plan to have fun with the pair though!
  15. Unfortunate. I appreciate the sentiment though! What sort of avatar would you have made?
