We're not so up ourselves as that. Not the more conventional ones at any rate. As for me personally I couldn't care less. The theme just leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.

Shoblongoo Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 All I'm saying is that if ever there was a round to pull a I can write Fe:Fates better then that game's own garbage writing team, and here's what the themes they were trying to hit could have looked like if they weren't incompetent ...this is that round...

But fates isn’t about patriotism though.

I may run a second piece to hit a part of this idea up, but a different FE grabbed my attention first - namely one of the most bizarrely-written semi-baddies in the series. 4 hours ago, Ottservia said: But fates isn’t about patriotism though. Birthright Xander would like to talk to you(Ghast's Support Science double video special on Xander to be specific). Also link me that analytical tirade, as someone who has attempted to vindicate/defend Conception II of all games(summary: shoblongoo's earlier line about Fates but for a JRPG) I'm down to read someone else's defense of a game provided it's well-written, and judging by your Severa analysis this should be worth looking into.

I never quite understood the whole “two Xanders” criticism as it never made sense to me. I personally find him to be pretty consistent overall but eh. I wrote this a while ago and be warned some of the points made here I don’t necessarily agree with anymore(which is why I’m thinking about rewriting it) particularly some of the points I made about Xander and Azura. I will stand by my revelation analysis. That one’s actually good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulWeaver Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Let's all just stop for a moment and appreciate this. Like. Yes. I also have all these thoughts. And much compassion for the poor enemies. Someone explain to me why I can't recruit generic NPCs and give them names and sacrifice actual good FE Units for Timmina the generic Axe Fighter.

Though her dancer form is passable and that's not what I was talking about. I was talking about Soul saying we should be allowed to recruit the generic units and SI them, and I said if we could get the generic units I'd use them for SI. Please don't put words into my mouth.
