    Also, your new wish is granted. They are worse than Hand Axes in FE4 or FE6.

    That is mathematically impossible and you freaking know it (now I am playing FE4, that weight and accuracy are awful)

    General US Politics

    I think you have it wrong and you're playing into the right-wing fear-mongering. It doesn't matter a bit what a Democrat does or thinks, the right-wing will ALWAYS yell "SOCIALIST" regardless of context or proper usage to scare people. It isn't new, in politics they've always tried to scare people being against policies by calling it socialist and as it has been said several times in this thread, the most popular policies are social policies like Social Security and Medicaid. 

    Let's not forget that Trump himself promised not to cut Social Security and that he was for universal health care and the budget he proposed would cut SS and Medicare. Everyone who gets news from sources other than Fox News would be aware and outraged at Trump breaking his promise about Social Security. Hell, his campaign promises were mostly what the status quo would call "leftist".

    The Republican vote is also irrelevant, they're either going to vote for Trump because they love him or they'll vote against Trump because he's making Conservatives look bad. They're not going to vote based on whether or not the opposition is a "centrist" Democrat.

    Says who? I'd argue that in the current state of affairs, more people in the US are left leaning than there are right leaning.

    Republican Leadership? They're terrified of the HR1 bill that's set to make it easier for EVERYONE to vote and even call it a "power grab" attempt by the Democratic party. Making it easier for people to vote is a power grab by one party... let that sink in.

    Corporations and rich people? Terrified of Sanders and AOC which is why they attack them so much. When it was reported that Amazon would no longer have its second headquarters in NY, an organization that receives funding from the Koch brothers put up a billboard attacking AOC for denying NY thousands of jobs. I've had conversations with people that are mildly engaged in politics and dispelled those attacks based on the Amazon HQ, the 70% marginal tax and the conspiracy theory that she's actually rich.

    Common people? The policies that AOC and Sanders are proposing are doing quite well in the polls and the people are for it. The people that oppose it tend to respond saying they get their news from Breitbart, Fox News and other right-wing media. 

    Obama wasn't weakened because he was "a socialist". He was a weakened by one party being dead set to deny him any legislative success and the other being less vocal and also engaged in the corruption.

    After that, you look back at the midterm results: the house was flipped to Democrat control. Republican gained seats in the Senate but they were the safe party when it came to that in the midterms as Democrats had more seats up for grabs and the losses mostly on states that lean conservative. Let's also remember that Hillary won the popular vote, more people voted for Hillary than the orange turd and lots of people decided not to vote because nobody thought that Trump could win. People like that have incentive to vote this time around.

    Accepting what the Republicans say is why the Democrats are such losers in modern times. Corrupt Democrats and Republicans abstain from talking about policy because they know they don't have much to offer to the people in their presidential bid.

    Trump's a detriment to the Republicans in the 2020 election, not an asset (except for appealing to the racists). Anybody who voted for Trump because of promises other than the wall and his racism/bigotry has no reason to vote for him.

    Bernie is an asset to the Democrats for winning the election but they don't want to admit that and they want to avoid it if they can because it also means the days of their corruption are numbered.

    EDIT: A friend of mine just had his first kid born about a month ago. Here's the cost:

    This is from someone who does not follow politics at all and his parents vote for Trump. You really think people will put up with shit like this forever? A vote for today's Republicans is an absolute vote saying you'll continue to.

    Wait wait wait wait

    They have to pay for GIVING BIRTH in a hospital?

    Now I am thankful for having social security.

    Granted, but only one unit gets that boost on one map at a time. The deciding factor on priority is bust size.

    It is a pretty cool idea to balance the summoner support thingy, only one getting the boost, but if I S-support two husbandos how should we choose?

    They look better, but only in comparison since everyone else look worse.

    It would cool to see a 1-2 range sword like handaxes and javelins (I would make it a boomerang or something like that).

    For once your wish is granted. It is retarded though.

    Why is Tiki so hot?

    Because she is a Dragon with 2000 years of knowledge and being the "prophet" to a God-like being.

    If are into powerful, knowledgeable and confident woman (like myself) you can't do it much better than that, it is a bummer that you'll die much sooner than her so... it kinda loses points for not having a partner for life (for her I mean).

    I wish I could cuddle Catria in my arms

    She will call you Marth

    I wish I could summoner support two units at the same time (because having to grind to S rank a unit and then having to do it a second time because you prefer your first unit is... annoying to say the least).

    Who will return?

    Anna at best (Jake is the boyfriend of one Anna so in my opinion no).

    I am totally fine with amiibo functionality, make it like Fire Emblem Heroes, heroes from other world summoned to lend a hand (using the mechanics of Fates, because they would be actually usefull).

    Lore wise, I am totally fine with nods or references, maybe here is where X character trained his/her pupil and now a small band of adventurers keeps their legacy. Or a joke expression like "For Hector's beard" or similar.

    As much as I love the Awakening trio as characters and development and maturity between games I hated that they were there (but truth be told the excuse IS used was pretty cool and I liked the idea that they stayed loyal to the people they served not the mission they were sent to because their orders weren't all that detailed). 

    Ps: We don't talk about the Hoshidan reincarnation, that's stupid and contrived as heck.

    No? Chrom refers to Hoshido and Nohr as mythical kingdoms in the Before Awakening DLC. That makes zero sense if Fates isn't set in the Awakening universe.

    Why not?

    in the Justice League animated series two-part episode "Legends" the Justice Guild (a reference of the JSA) is both a comic Green Lantern used to read and heroes in their world/parallel universe (I won't give spoilers).

    The explanation could be that an outrealm jumper did see both Hoshido and Nohr and then he/she talked that history to people in Archanea and with time the tale became a legend.

    Ps: In the series it says that the existance of their earth give the idea (like some kind of "resonance", it is not explain that well) to the creator of the comic in the Justice league world.

    Lodestar and Great lord

    Hello everyone!!!

    I’m playing Revelationes and I have many questions about this... 

    I was checking my inventory and I notice that I still have the seals for Lodestar and Great lord so... I just want to know some opinions, candidates and thoughts about those classes

    Thank you!

    Don't take my advice as anything because I am not a good player. To put an example, I mostly don't use second generation in Fates.

    Xander or Laslow are usually the ones I give the Lodestar seal since to me they are always on the verge of double attacks thev times I played (I usually pick Laslow for not losing movement with Xander).

    About the Great Lord one, I always pick Mozu, F!Corrin or Selena since the class gives some suport and has the Awakening skill so I want units than can take a punch (also if you give them vantage their power skyrocket).

    She informs Basilio Walhart was going to kill him, thus leading him to barely escape death. This allows for Basilio to participate in the "deceiving the Grimleal ploy" Robin whips up involving a fake Fire Emblem

    I forgot to post about the fake fire emblem. Thanks for covering my screw up.

    Keyword here, things Ephraim does. Lucina doesn't do much. She tells Chrom and Robin that bad things are going to happen and that they need to address it, but she herself does very little after the assassination attempt on Emmeryn, which is the 6th chapter in the game. And after she reappears near the end of the Plegia stuff? I don't recall a single thing she actually does that isn't just going along with her dad and Robin.

    And Ephraim, while he's mostly missing from the first half of the game, after you pick the lord you follow, his route is ultimately the one that's more important to the plot(Though this mostly just amounts to chapter 14). And after that? He and Eirika absolutely share the spotlight and are both just as important.

    Being a messenger is extremly important since if she didn't give that message as Marth everything goes to s***, sure she isn't saving the Exalt on her own (though she helps) but she telling that "allows" Emmeryn to stop the Ylissian-Plegian war much sooner with her sacrifice, also she stops the intended assassination of Chrom that would leave him unable to take the helm in the war, therefore making the war itself much shorter and less deadly which leaves Ylisse (and Plegia) in much better shape.

    More than that she "helps" (by trowing the match) Ylisse get Ferrox's help (which we can deduce from the facts that didn't happen in her future [since she said herself she doesn't want to change more the past than necessary because I could screw things up]).

    And yeah in Epharim route he is there but if you pick the Eirika route which is as important as Epharim in the grand scheme of things (excluding character stuff with our corrupted friend, the insight that we get in that rout is important but matters for Lyon as a character and his corruption, not his actions) and if you pick that one Ephraim is a main Lord that only appears a third of the game, that doesn't mean that he isn't important since he gets shit done on or off screen (really if someone give him an unbreakable lance he kicks armies by himself).

    And getting spotlight, she kinda does, sure she "only" supports Chrom & co.(also stoping Basilo of being an idiot and get himself killed and losing one of the gems forever) but she has being the one that set all of this in motion the only thing she can do by that moment is helping the team and praying to Naga herself.

    After the Plegia arc is finished and the children start crossing over, Lucina runs out of things to actually do. She mostly just follows Chrom and Robin around after that point.

    As much as I love Awakening even I can see that the Plegia arc is flawed and "filler"y (but it explans the world building of future Archanea, without it the world be too shallow and empty so I think it mostly works in the end), neither Chrom nor the shepards are more than support for the real lord of the part: Say'ri, the member of a noble house who rises to the ocasion after loser her home with the help of allies while fighting a "corrupt" member of her family who in the end she defeats (she also gets a pretty cool sword even though mechanics wise doesn't have to be hers). Also there is Walhart, the instigator (basically her evil dragon who "corrupts" her brother).

    The only Shepard that is remotely important in that arc is Robin and only as a tactician (Validar subplot is only groundwork for the next arc and finale of the game).

    Also you don't need to be on screen all the time to be considered a main Lord, look at Epharim who is off screen but the things that he does are important to the plot.

    -Eliwood (Sword/Lance Cavalry [DLC])

    Come on, the blazing blade is the game where Eliwood is the main Lord.       

    Why everyone left them behind, most of the story is centred about him (the party goes to save his Dad, and the Ninian (and therefore Nergal) stuff and the blazing blade is his main weapon).

    I know I am biased towards him but he deserves more. Throw him a bone or something at the poor guy.
