Symphony

I'm sorry, friend, but this is a war game. We must fight. That said, I wonder what Revelations will be like. And I am getting both Conquest and Birthright right away, so there's that.

I would side with Hoshido, which is what I would do if I found out my family was harming someone just because. Except they're not. The Nohr siblings I'd be fighting are just acting on the king's orders. That would make me okay going either way, but the having Camilla act seductively toward her little brother just creeps me out. I lean more toward Hoshido. I will be playing Conquest first though (those maps. <3 I like a challenge), so go figure. And it also bothers me that Conquest!Corrin seems so naïve.

Name: Kas/Symphony Gender: Male Nation: Hoshido Class: White Blood, Cavalier secondary Wife: Azura ~/ /~ Name: Deut Gender: Female Nation: Nohr Class: Dark Blood, Samurai secondary Husband: Deere (not entirely certain) ~/ /~ Name: [undecided] Gender: Female Revelations Class: Undecided Husband: ??? ^^ There are more, too, but I'm not as certain on them.

Hey, welcome. I've never played Shin Megami Tensei. Always meant to, though. I wish I had something witty to say, but I'm pretty tired. |D I hope you like the board.

I'm still pretty new to Fire Emblem (having played most of Awakening twice and the few chapters of Shadow Dragon), so I'm going to start with Hard on Birthright, probably. I plan to eventually get all three versions once I have some income, so that would be Normal on Conquest and Hard on Revelations. Casual all the way. Permadeath is one of my least-favorite features in games. It's why I had so much trouble with Shadow Dragon (newb + permadeath = failing not to kill the princess, resetting endlessly, and eventually just giving up).

Other person who voted for Deere: I will find you!

I vote for Kellam. If not, I agree. Nowi would look positively smashing in a monocle.

Actually, Henry wears what's closest to a dress out of everyone in the army. Therefore, Henry is canonically Lucina's mother.

My newest MU, also my first Classic playthrough, has: Sex: Male Build: Medium Face: 1 (slight scowl) Hair: Long, black Voice: First (medium pitch, less hesitation than the others) Asset: Luck Flaw: Strength (points if you guess his future spouse) My first one? Sex: Female Build: Medium Face: 4 (like 1 but with larger eyes) Hair: Long and shaggy, reddish pink Voice: Second (breathy) Asset: Speed Flaw: HP Spouse: Chrom (Not logic-based at all; I liked him.) My most recent obsessive playthrough: Sex: Female Bulid: Smallest Face: I can't say I remember. Hair: Swishy, light pink Voice: First (highest pitch) Asset: Strength Flaw: Magic Future spouse: Gerome I also enjoy male build 1, face 3, hair 4, and hair color 4. He looks like a sad, greasy man. I usually name him Lan and plan on marrying him to Nah.

Hah! My having to constantly keep Chrom out of "trouble" led to my being indifferent towards him. Too bad I'm married to him on one file. That said, he took to Olivia quite easily. I'm sure the pairing is like this because Chrom still needs a wife if you've killed off the other candidates, but not grinding with him left him underleveled at a few points in the game.

[spoiler=Cyr's Quotes]Skill/Critical: "Goodbye." "Grrryah!" "I'll tear you apart!" "Time to go home." "To the future!" "Take this!" "Die!" I want to make up some other quotes now. "What are your dreams? Your goals in life? I want to live life to the fullest and pursue what I love." "So, what do you do in your free time? I like to write stories. Sometimes, poetry." "Want to fight with me?" "Of course! I'll keep you safe." Dual Guard: "Look out!" "Hey, be careful!" "Got to keep you safe." "Don't worry; I'll protect you!" Dual Strike: "Here's one of these!" "Nyahrgh!" "Hah!" "Aha!" "Coming from me now!" "[silence]" Marriage confession: "My love for the world is too strong to go unheeded, and I want you to be part of that world." After battle: "[sigh]" "Finished." "Wait for me, you guys." "I had to do it." "What's wrong?" "You don't exist in my world." Level up: "Woah!" (6-7) "Yeah, that's right. I'm the boss." (4-5) "Huh." (2-3) "Disappointing." (0-1) "Almost done." (most stats capped) Class change: "Do you think I look silly in this?" Death: Verbal: "I can't... move..." Text (classic): "Ungh. I'm sorry, everyone. I'll see you... in a dream...." Text (casual): "I'm sorry. I'll have to sit this one out. Haha...."

Ah! That would be important, yes? I'm still deciding (Read: asking around due to my own laughable lack of experience with the series), though a few of them will be a Dark Flier at least once for Galeforce. I suppose that doesn't help. I'm making Gerome into a Berserker. The others? I haven't any idea. I like Lucina having Falchion, but is Great Lord a good choice? This pairing set was made with some of my desires and the help of a statistically-inclined friend, and we never discussed the final classes. I can go ahead and list the inherited skills, if it helps! [spoiler=Inherited Skills]Inigo: Galeforce, Rightful King Owain: Galeforce, Luna Yarne: Swordbreaker, Vantage Laurent: Tomefaire, Vantage Morgan: Galeforce, [undecided] Nah: Swordbreaker, Renewal Severa: Galeforce, Astra/Vantage (undecided; probably Vantage) Cynthia: Galeforce, Counter Brady: Galeforce, Tomefaire Noire: Luna, Vantage Gerome: Axefaire, Renewal Kjelle: Swordfaire, Armsthrift

All right. I'm getting Olivia!Lucina, Chrom!Inigo, Kellam!Nah, Lon'qu!Severa, Henry!Cynthia, Libra!Brady, Gaius!Noire, Vaike!Gerome, Donnel!Kjelle, Ricken!Owain, Stahl!Yarne, Gregor!Laurent, and Gerome!Morgan. (Forgive me if I've misspelled anyone's name; correction is welcome.) My asset is strength; my flaw is magic. I am not looking to replace any of these, though criticism and questions are welcome. I'm wondering about a good way to pair up the remaining child units. I'm playing on Normal/Casual, so I suppose it doesn't matter, but I'll be using this set for a Hard run as well (With Nah!Morgan and +defense -magic instead), and then a Lunatic run once I get accustomed to the gameplay. Have you any ideas? I'm especially interested in why; a simple pairing won't convince me.

I don't think they need genders. I think it's beneath their concern. They're the protectors of the Pokémon world - some of the Pokémon universe! Why would they need to think about gender?

I liked Chrom enough to marry him during my first playthrough, though I've settled down about him since them. Marrying him to Olivia was the catalyst for my indifference - I'd have to be so careful around him that I started not caring what he did. I forgot to use a Master Seal on him when he reached level 20. I have no idea when he did it; I just looked at him one day and saw he'd maxed out. Maybe I'm jealous of Olivia, now, even though I'm working on marrying Gerome and Nah? The characters are a bit flat, at best. I long for deeper and better character designs - and better support conversations for the female avatar, especially with Chrom. However, I did get attached to a few - Libra and Panne and Morgan, for example. Chrom never made it. Awakening characters are like clichéd lumps in an interesting shell. I did care about Chrom quite a bit during the first playthrough, now that I'm remembering more of it - I wanted my avatar to just reach out and hug him a few times, I remember. I was proud to be by his side. Now, I have other goals on my mind - like getting Cherche the skills I want her to pass so I can marry Gerome.
