Alright, can you stop please? The topic question was ''Is Thracia 776 really good'' not ''I'll describe how bad fates is.'' All you're doing now is insulting us for liking fire emblem fates.

FYI, I'd say Sacred Stones manages to outshine both Jugdral games, and I have a boatload of issues with that game as well. Anyway, neither the story, plot, nor the characters interest me about Thracia. And I'm getting really inclined to stop taking you seriously with your incessant misnaming, and the fact you're stooping so low as to insult those of us who like Fates.

I did'nt insult anyone, I did'nt say that Levant or any person who likes Dates is a casual weaboo faggot or anything like that, I just was insulting Dates, so I would urge you to calm down.

redlight Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I've yet to finish Thracia, but I will say this. If you're looking for a casual playthrough of a FE game then you should't play it. There are many mechanics that are unexplained requiring research before playing and they are constantly putting the player in a state of disadvantage. You learn from your mistakes whenever you have to reset. Concerning the "how badly done the game is" statement, it reflects the player's skill whenever a NPC or unit dies. When you see an ally in danger, don't turtle. You have to rush to save them. Thracia was designed to be difficult and punishing. Kaga didn't design it to hold your hand. Thracia is my favourite FE game because of it's unique features, but I would't necessarily call it the best FE. It has it's flaws, but it is fun to play if you like being at a disadvantage.

I don't think it was really designed to be difficult, but it is certainly punishing to the unexperienced player. The game can be straight up user-unfriendly on the first playthrough. Once you learn the tricks of FE5, such as abusing staves and the progression of some of the chapters, it's not really bad at all (aside from stuff like the Xavier recruit which will eternally remain a pain in the ass). We've already had enough people trashing Fates, a game I don't like, since it came out, so please spare us.

In my humble opinion, being difficult is one thing... But there's a difference between being difficult in a way that provides legitimate challenge and being difficult in a way that gives rise to frustration. And if you're actively punished for going in blind, I'd say that's a design flaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Dates, you say? Quote Healthy 5-Ingredient Granola Bars Author: Minimalist Baker Recipe type: Breakfast, Snack Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Vegan Serves: 10 bars Ingredients 1 heaping cup packed (~220 g) dates, pitted (deglet noor or medjool)* 1/4 cup (84 g) maple syrup or agave nectar (or honey if not vegan) 1/4 cup (64 g) creamy salted natural peanut butter or almond butter 1 cup (112 g) roasted unsalted almonds, loosely chopped (see instructions for roasting nuts) 1 1/2 cups (135 g) rolled oats (gluten-free for GF eaters) optional additions: chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, banana chips, vanilla, etc. Instructions Process dates in a food processor until small bits remain (about 1 minute). It should form a "dough" like consistency. (Mine rolled into a ball.) Optional step: Toast your oats (and almonds if raw) in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven for 10-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Otherwise, leave them raw - I prefer the toasted flavor. Place oats, almonds and dates in a large mixing bowl - set aside. Warm honey and peanut butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir and pour over oat mixture and then mix, breaking up the dates to disperse throughout. Once thoroughly mixed, transfer to an 8x8-inch baking dish or other small pan lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they lift out easily. (A loaf pan might work, but will yield thicker bars.) Press down firmly until uniformly flattened - I use something flat, like a drinking glass, to press down and really pack the bars, which helps them hold together better. Cover with parchment or plastic wrap, and let firm up in fridge or freezer for 15-20 minutes. Remove bars from pan and chop into 10 even bars (or 9 squares). Store in an airtight container for up to a few days. I kept mine in the freezer to keep them extra fresh, but it isn't necessary. Notes *Although not ideal, if your dates don't feel sticky and moist, you can soak them in water for 10 minutes then drain before processing. This will help them blend better and hold the bars together better. But ideally, you can find fresh, sticky moist dates. (source) In other words, no matter how much you despise Fates, at least have the maturity to call it by its proper title, and understand that we on SF are more than familiar with its flaws.
