I think they aren't doing it anymore because, outside of additional work related to more animations, stats, etc, it removes the unit's weakness tied to their mount by dismounting, and in the newest games bar SoV, they've been pretty prominent (at least I feel so, especially after Conquest's maps revolved all around fliers). I'd like it to come back though. Personally I enjoy to move a flier around and not be restricted by a shitty archer placed right in their way (you don't always have the right unit to kill the shitty archer by your flier' side). Also horses indoor look kind of silly.

I remember you. Now everything makes sense (I think).

The amount of passive aggressiveness in this post is astounding. You know something I noticed in recent years? That some of Awakening's most loud haters actually started the series with it or after its release. They started hating on it because surprisingly, contrarians will always hate what's popular, and have wayyy to much spite towards the new titles. But I hate it when all older fans get thrown under the bus with those spiteful haters. We're not all like that, some of us like Awakening and Fates, some of us dislike them, some of us like them less than the games prior to them, some of us like them more, etc. The older FE fans who did not like the series' new direction and bitched about it are now either gone from the fandom and series, or stopped caring about this quarrel (because trust me people are not all masochists); usually (and hopefully) after a certain age people have better things to do than loudly proclaim their hate for a videogame. I'm really tired of seeing people demonize and criticize older fans even as of today. Or even giving us subtle jabs to the older games such as "that approach evidently was not working as well as Nintendo wanted". The usual argument: Awakening and Fates MUST be the best in the series because they sold the best... You don't know the kind of magic a damn good marketing strategy and casual mode can do, and you don't know how much the new games need a spin on the Awakening formula already. It's definitely not evergreen like Pokémon's, and I can guarantee you that a lot of new fans (who do like Awakening and Fates) would not like IS to give us children and marriage for a third time. Also I want to remind to everyone that IS is giving a lot of fanservice to older fans through games like Heroes or Cipher's artwork or Echoes. They are not like other companies who throw our support and money away.

I did not like the White Wings in this game. I found all of them annoying, except mayyybe Palla. Est was definitely the worst. Grating voice and dialogue aside, I still won't forget what she does after FE3. Her supports with her sisters in this game only make it worse. I'm not particularly fond of Tatiana either, but I'm definitely more neutral on her. All of that aside, there was no character I truly disliked.

Get some class, pls.

The ninja cave is both intriguing and a chore. My Xand died to Kotaro due to my idiotic errors, after turns and turns of cowardly turtling, and I did not even like him enough to reset.

Sengoku BASARA and Samurai Warriors... Two franchises, one genre that every reviewer hates... Which one has the hottest peoplez? Only you can decide.

@Harvey You should definitely try out Hard after Normal, if you feel like Normal is way too easy. Hard (IMO) the most sane difficulty. For example, on Hard, your units don't get two shotted on the first chapter, while IIRC on Lunatic, everybody does bar Freddy (correct me on this if I am wrong). The only issue is that Hard tends to have ridiculous jumps in enemy stats. Still, nothing that grinding can't fix if you have a large team! I must also add, the game is quite fun on Hard with no Pair Up. I'd definitely try that out if you get tired of Hard but you find Lunatic too frustrating to tackle.

I want try to preorder it. So glad the game had an almost-worldwide release. Sucks that it got leaked, but I'm not getting spoiled like with Fates. Watching a LP of that game before release really ruined my experience with it.

Maybe they meant that male Corrin's design is extremely boring. Female Corrin's design won, in general. Aside from Niles yaoi fangirls and waifufriends I don't see much love for him, while Female Corrin gets loads and loads of fanart, and from a lot of sides of the fandom: from self insert people, otome fans, hentai artists, etc. It shows how, in the end, design can be crucial in liking a character. A lot of times people will like one just for the design alone. Do you think Etika and the fans from Smash love Corrin's compelling personality? Also in general the milquetoast kind gentle pacifist personality clicks more on a female character than on a male one, as much as this stinks. No wonder yaoi fangirls are the main fans of male Corrin, since emotional boys are so loved in the genre, and I wouldn't be surprised if some guys generally found him too much of a wuss for them to like him. Characters like Hector and Ike, ruthless and with few forgiveness, are much more enjoyed by them. I'm not talking about everyone now though, just making assumptions from having observed the fandom.

Copypasting my post in the actually visited thread: Ok, to me, the absolute main appeal of Warriors is characters, THEN gameplay. This is why I can't play it more than one hour or less of Warriors (unless I really like the character I am using). It's repetitive and it only gets you if you really like the gameplay. It's not the matter of steamrolling hordes of weaklings, but the tedium of going through boring maps with boring graphics (aside from the beautiful, beautiful characters) along with a rather boring story (unless you like who you are playing as, again) and an unsatisfying battle system. If your battle system only gives me X X X Y type combos to work with I am not going to be amused. Characters tend to be divided in types and those in those types feel samey to play... I prefer to have a smaller cast who all play differently, less focus on the strategy and more on the action. Because really the main point, at least from what I have played, seems to be the light strategy element: aiding allies, getting bases before XYZ does, etc. Sometimes it can get interesting when the outcome of the same battle plays differently, but... yeah... not my thing. I'd rather toy with movesets and get high combos. However, I'm not even qualified to talk about this since I only play on normal, lol. If you are a Warriors fan you can bonk me on the head now. SENGOKU BASARA 4EVER So am I excited for FE Warriors? Not really. I'll probably just look at screenshots and be happy with it, or buy the second version used. Especially since it will probably draw characters from the games in the series I like the least. I'll tell you though, I dream of playing as Hector and defeating hordes of puny GBA soldiers, or playing as Sigurd on his white steed crushing everything that stands in his way.

Yeah you can do that. I think a male child inherits Demoiselle only if they are already getting Gentilhomme. I have a vague memory of my Felicia Dwyer having both Gentil and Demoi.

The thread you're talking about is probably dead, old, etc. If you feel like you are beating a dead horse you can not write anything, really. Just voting is completely fine.

To be fair, I'd rather look up info on these forums, Gamefaqs or the main site. Fire Emblem Wikia is too unpolished and unbalanced to me. I remember them being positive on Holsety Corpul instead of going IT SHOULD GO TO SETY/ARTHUR REEEEEEEE like anyone who hates fun, so in a way it gets a plus, but that's it. Heck if you want an optimal strategy guide Holsety Corpul shouldn't even be suggested. There is a good number of pictures of in-game models though.

Yep. I slipped :V

Use Ignatius with Charlotte as his mother. Give him Mademoiselle.

I think Corrin is a pretty bad character. I think many can agree with me that they are a Mary Sue and that even in their worst moments, their sailing is relatively smooth. The game revolved around them and it's a tragedy: world building and other characters feel like are thrown out of the window to just have more Corrin and emotional romps, simple guilty trips and sob stories over actual content. I think their design is garbage, aside from the female Nohrian promotion (it's sexy and evil). Also I echo the sentiment of Female Corrin not being any better. I will not play male until Revelations and man, I loathed her in Birthright. I loathed how smooth and perfect it went for her, how doubt only came when she attacked her family. Shortly after, I started the Chaos route in Tactics Ogre: LUCT, and I was baffled at how a game from 20 years ago had a much more impactful choice and grim moral implications than a game from now. Siding with the morally sound choice does not necessarily mean everything will go well. YOU STILL KILL NOHRIANS IN BIRTHRIGHT. That is not exactly being a saint. Nobody doubts the blood on their hands or even holds a romantic opinion on it like some chivalrous man from Jugdral. Deaths only matter in Conquest and when your beloved siblings die, oh and of course when people die for Corrin. Dang it Corrin. I wish there were more things in this game not centered around the protagonist. I also fail to see their shades of gray. If anything Conquest is the route I like the most because it's the route where they somewhat fail.

I discovered the series at a very young age (like 6 or 7) through Smash Bros Melee, like many other Nintendo franchises I had no idea existed because we barely had any internet and because videogames were much more rare. Me and my sister started the series with emulated 7 on the computer (she later bought an American version found at GameStop), and I played 8 on easy mode when I was like, 9. The gripping storyline and my few knowledge of english got me interested, as much as I wanted to say the game sucked. I probably said this before, but as a kid the nuances of the word "love" escaped me. I did not think you could use it with friends and family, because here in Italy "ti amo" (direct translation of "I love you") is used only for lovers... So imagine my shock when Lyon told Ephraim "I've always loved you". Fire Emblem turned me into the fujo I am today and I'm not sorry. My sister only really got into the series with 9 though. I liked it since 7 and I also tried 6 but those were too hard for me, until I was like 14 and breezed through 7 ENM (as for 6, I am currently playing it but I think I lost the save file.....duck). I literally have fanart of Erk, Serra and Priscilla from when I was 11, lol.

Oh no, Kozaki is definitely more western than most artist. What I despise is that now people hold him as a paragon of modest outfit designs, when he designed and still designs outfits not that different from the ones by Kusakihara. He is still gonna drawn zettai ryouiki and panty shots. Maybe they won't be as stupidly creative as Kusakihara's, but they're still there. Nowi is still his work and fruit of his imagination. I just want people to stop treating Kozaki as a poor sap who, if he could, would give every woman realistic armor. I also want people to stop treating Kusakihara as if he was living art direction AIDS when he still has given us good designs like Outlaws, Adventurers, Great Merchants, Basara, Diviners, Onmyoji... Et cetera.

No. First, I want to drive beautiful Mario locales and see how Mario's world is much more than abstract places. Driving in Nintendo places would be cool but we would be left with the usual iconic places instead of getting representation of stuff like, I dunno, Machbeth (Starfox) or Pendrana Rifts (Metroid). We would be getting Corneria and Brinstar's Depths, for example. Second, I think if they want to do a crossover racing game, it should have different mechanics. Third, underdogs like Waluigi would be replaced by more famous Nintendo characters. Fourth, it would give them more excuses to not release any new F-Zero games, and I don't want that.

So, I am very curious if people like Corrin or not. I have my own opinion on the matter, but I will express it later since I want this OP to be as impartial as possible. It might not spark much of a discussion, but who knows.
