Florete

When I saw the title I thought, "Wait wtf, I know Alpharad just uploaded Ike like yesterday." But that was glorious.

Availability is nice, but Cordelia is still around for a good 76% of the game and statistically smashes Sumia. And Cordelia's extra load of support options more than beats out a potential Chrom support (which doesn't even give what Sumia needs). Basically, Sumia has her few extra chapters, and may be a bit better than Cordelia when she arrives, but Cordelia will pass her up quickly and just expand the lead to the end. I agree for sure that Cynthia > Severa.

Real talk: I said it before sort of as a joke, but if I were to call any character in FE overrated, it would be Sumia, mainly because people say she's better than Cordelia and I don't see how that's possible. Depends how one plays. Calill has the best long-term potential of the magic users in RD, but by the very fact that she's a magic user in RD, that isn't saying a whole lot. I would definitely rank her higher than Sanaki in non-Hard mode, though. I think unit slots are numerous enough such that they are not that valuable in RD, especially by the time Sanaki shows up.

Has anyone considered the possibility that Strategist isn't a male Valkyrie, but is the new Valkyrie class made to not be gender-exclusive? As in, Valkyrie may not exist anymore. And Tsubaki is a dude. People are actually still considering him being a woman?

"I don't use the mechanic that every character has easy access to and makes them all a lot better, and my results say..." Do you see the problem here? This is a worthless distinction in this situation. Pair Up just adds to the dual system. The statement "Every Pair Up gives +Hit" is absolutely true. Congrats to you for not falling into the stereotype, but that doesn't mean anything about everyone else that people have actually been accusing of such.

Pair Up, Anathema, and Hex negate any accuracy or crit issues Tharja may have. If you actually think Tharja has trouble hitting with non-Ruin tomes while paired, I'm going to think you don't ever use her. Tharja wins Speed by a good amount and they essentially tie Magic, she has multiple chapters before Henry exists to get a good lead on him stat-wise, and Nosferatu negates any defensive advantage Henry might have had. Henry's only real advantage is basically his Skill, but since Vengeance is Skl x2 even that isn't a very notable difference. If the dude could double, he might have a chance of being as good, but he has no significant advantages. A few, but I'm definitely seeing more of "character I don't like" in here.

I don't remember people taking this topic so seriously the last time it popped up. SF, I am disappoint. Well, I guess if I were to just give a straight answer to the topic, I would say: none. No one is overrated. Units I like are not overrated and units I dislike are not overrated. Except for Sumia. She's overrated. The only Jagen is Jagen. Well, a few, but I definitely wouldn't cite FE6 first as a Fire Emblem with great prepromotes. Pretty much every game since then has had better ones. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the hype around Tharja isn't so much for her ability but, uh, she's definitely better than Henry in that regard.

You mean GOOD news.

If you're bumping/double-posting multiple hours later with a load of new fanart, you can have my word that I won't be stopping you. And yeah, you post a lot of good stuff. My folder is ever-increasing. Thank you.

Every character that I dislike is overrated. It doesn't matter if these characters are liked by many or not for whatever reasons, they're overrated because I dislike them. No one can tell me otherwise, because this is just my opinion, but you can be sure that if anyone tries to tell me these characters are good or cool I'll be there to tell that person how horribly overrated that character is, because calling a character overrated is the ultimate objection. tl;dr Overrated is a terrible word that has lost all meaning and for the love of God do we really need one of these topics every other month?

Hm, am I remembering wrong, or wasn't it said somewhere that male avatars got something else (like facial hair options or something) that female avatars didn't while the latter got these accessories? Not that that justifies it. Why must any of these options be restricted by gender?

Don't make posts like these. If you don't like it, ignore it. If you think it should be gone, report it. Locked on request.

>Eclipse posts telling people off. >People respond with spam. Next time, don't.

Don't de-rail the topic with this crap.

My DLC wishlist. How did he know? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URn24CgFfLc

F will be my first and my standard for most subsequent playthroughs. I'll probably play the game enough that I'll inevitably do both, though.

Make another and you'll not be happy.

We really don't need this.

Hi.

That's the problem. That's why I called it "subconscious sexism" earlier. It's not intentional, but it is what it is. Why do you think I linked you to the page about Male Privilege? If's the job of the marketers to do their damn job properly. They are supposed to consider these things. And if they did consider it and things still ended up like this, well, it's not even subconscious anymore, it's just natural ole sexism. Yes. Yes, I can. You must not have been on the internet in 2013. ^Also this. Never thought I'd agree with a post from BrightBow (one in this area of the forum, anyway) so much. Some people just can't tolerate others having an issue with something.

Male Kamui and female Kamui are supposed to be equal. That much I think we can agree on. The marketing for the game, however, is not treating it as such. Yes, F!Kamui existing is better than not, but in this day and age, that's getting to be expected rather than progressive in and of itself. You've made a bigger deal out of this than anyone else has. No one is being "radical." I've already said (more than once, I think) that this isn't nearly the worst case in the industry of this sort of thing, but that doesn't excuse it. My stance on the whole is, "Yeah, it's kind of annoying, but w/e." It's kind of funny how it's the people who don't have a problem with the representation who blew the matter up to this point. Context. Something like a game having a majority male cast isn't inherently sexist. Having separate-gendered versions of a character that are supposed to be equal, and then to not treat them equally, is sexist, particularly because this isn't a one-off scenario, but is actually a long-lasting trend of the industry. This case is minor (due to, as in the cases you mentioned, how much she is shown around), which is why no one is blowing up over it, but it is what it is. You see the obvious things. Good that you do, but you have a way to go yet. You're the one who came out with, "OMG don't take it so seriously." I think the idea here is to practice what you preach.

Have a read. You need it, trust me. There's really not much for me to say, you clearly have very little knowledge of social issues involving women. I'm not saying you should be bothered by the issue this topic addresses, you just lack understanding. This is a cop-out. Further evidence to your lack of understanding. Yes, I can play and enjoy video games. I can also be aware of the flaws in the industry while doing so. Sure. But that doesn't make it right to accuse people of something they aren't doing. If all you said was, "People getting annoyed by this annoys me," I would never have even responded to you.

Um, no. There are levels here. Being annoyed doesn't mean we're taking it personally, or thinking it's something extremely awful, or actually making a huge deal out of it.. Like, what the hell is your (and anyone who says what you are) problem here? Why can't anyone be annoyed by this without "making a mountain out of a molehill"? That's ridiculous. Just because you're not bothered by it doesn't mean people who are are taking it too seriously. Get over yourself. I am now much more annoyed at you people spouting this crap than I am about the actual issue we've been talking about. Uh, yeah. That's kind of the entire issue this topic is about. There have definitely been complaints about this. I don't even look at half the topics in this forum anymore and I've seen multiple people who don't like F!Kamui's design. This topic probably exists specifically because it wasn't being mentioned elsewhere. No one needs to ask if someone people dislike Kamui's design because we already know.

A funny thing about this idea, from the Dengeki scans: The one screenshot in here where female Kamui is used (which is one of two in all the scans) is the one where Kamui is talking to Aqua.

Maybe because that's completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. For the love of Can we fucking stop saying this? No one is making a huge deal out of it. Some people are annoyed. That's all. No one is treating it like some crime against humanity. Deal with it. I also don't see how Hoshido is being pushed more. They seem to be getting equal treatment in my eyes, and if anything, Nohr seems to be getting hyped up more what with Phoenix being added probably for it specifically.
