I recently started playing fates again so I can join if you're still looking for people. The invite expired again though.

Are Roy and Marth in this game?

nvm its fixed

Maybe neither. It could be something new like growth pills or something. But that's gonna be just as bad as time travel. It's sad but I don't think there will be a timeskip. I really want it but I just don't see them going that direction.

I always just assumed Arvis gave the weapons to the kids because he thought he would be a good emperor, so he didn't fear any rebellions. He thought the people would be happy. It could even benefit him, Faval almost ends up fighting for him with Ichival. Seliph is an exception because he is the rightful emperor, so to Arvis he is the only one with a legit reason to rebel so that's why doesn't give the Tyrfing back right away. Maybe he found out Shanan hangs out with Seliph and that's why he kept Balmung from him. The thing about Arvis is, he's willing to do evil things to accomplish his goals, but not any more then neccesary. So betraying and murdering a bunch of people is fine but stealing their weapons just cus he can is something he wouldn't do. Also, when Ethlyn goes to the desert in chapter 5 she doesn't have her weapons with her. She left them in Leonster so that's why Leif gets them.

FE9 Sothe's average stats only has one page. The old serenes had 2 pages, one for his average stats in fixed mode and one for his average stats in random mode (these are higher because blossom is better in random mode)

I did some testing a while ago. Basically every time you level up in the arena there's a (pretty high) chance you get less stat growths then usual. There's a way to avoid this bug though. When you're about to beat the enemy, cancel the arena and continue. It has to be the last round of the battle. If you do this you will get proper growths.

If you give a sword to a thief it turns into a dagger. If you give it to an assassin it turns into two seperate daggers. If you give it to a mercenary it turns into a huge blade. If you give it to a lord it turns into a rapier.

It's not entirely comprehensible but it's better then Japanese letters, and if they can be changed them to danc and ena I think it's also possible to change them to proper abbreviations? The patch did change the letters as you can see in this pic. http://imgur.com/D7hoyw5

Shaya managed to edit the combat window in his patch, maybe you can ask him?

FE12's supports link doesn't work, it brings me to the site map.

I guess this new patch is based off the old menu patch? The thing is, that patch was kinda confusing to begin with, it used old item names (like hero weapons instead of brave weapons), the commands were confusing and the skills weren't translated (the skills are in japanese even in your new version). Wouldn't it be better to edit Shaya's patch instead? People are more familiar with that one, and then we'll also have a decent dialogue until the new one is ready.

Just tried it out, some things I've noticed: Preperation screen, character status screen, armory and convoy have been improved. Much more understandable now. The commands are a little confusing now. Dance is Add and trade is EI. Some other changes as well. Some of the item names are abit confusing too, especially the staves. The class names are very long now, and sometimes they'll go over the portrait. Doesn't really bother me but I thought I'd let you know. The heroes in the end no longer freeze the game. And the combat window is using japanese letters...any plans to translate that?

Yes, I've learned what a craven cur is.

I think he meant that Delmud can't always inherit A swords because his father can't always use A swords (for example if Azel is the father). This is why swords are the easiest weapons to inherit, because in gen 2 you begin with two characters that can always inherit A swords (Seliph and Larcei). So for example if you pair Lex with Ayra inheritence really isn't a problem because even though Lex can't use swords, Larcei can just inherit an extra sword and sell it to her brother.
