  1. Oh yeah, no more dragon villains please. We've seen enough. Even Tellius sort of had them in the form of Dheginsea and his troops. Dragon laguz among the enemies is fine, I just don't want any final bosses to be dragons. >.>

    What's wrong with dragons? It's an undead horse, Ana. The cliche is used so much that no one really cares about it anymore. Plus, Manaketes are fun to use and challenging to fight.

  2. ...What?

    *headdesk* I meant Jaytheking.

    Why are you assuming they are in America? (Especially since they already said they don't have any of those types of stores around)

    Because I'm racist in the sense that I can't understand people on the internet not being from North America. Happy?

  3. I am already done with it but i want to have one of every item like my other RPGs.

    Ugh...I would buy it if they sold Prepaid cards here

    You don't have a Walmart, Gamestop or Best Buy in your area?

  4. Welcome to Serenesforest, Tables! Hope you can stay for more than just 2 hours.

    Also, wouldn't it be ridiculously hard to navigate through your convoy for bullions to sell if you picked up 1 of everything?

    Also, how far are you in the game?

  5. Digression: Can't have been Treasure, as that's all FE4 stuff. There was a FE7 novel with Ninian/Eliwood and some other pairings, some of which aren't exactly favored in-game (Guy/Priscilla IIRC), but that's kind of like taking manga adaptations as canon, isn't it?

    Mark_asphodel, you should know how heavily the game favors Eli/Ninian. Just because Squeenix's comic favors pairing Priscilla with someone that isn't Erk, doesn't mean it's not a valid opinion.

    (For the record, when I say "someone who isn't Erk", I mean "Someone who doesn't get abandoned because she's a goddamn noble".)

  6. Eh, back when I first became aware of the term Mary Sue, it didn't mean a character was objectively perfect, it meant the author/narrator was pulling whatever kind of stunts they had to so that the character was never presented as wrong or at fault. The "flaws" that were supposed to be flaws were creampuff things with no impact and the things Mary Sue and Gary Stu did that were awful were somehow always justified. I like that criteria a hell of a lot better than whatever conception of the Mary Sue is floating around today. In FE terms, I'd say FE3 Marth has some classic Sue traits, not because he's a chosen savior but because whenever he starts taking himself to task for the mess of a war he's in, Jagen or someone else steps in and goes "No no no, you're wonderful and everyone else is to blame." THAT sort of thing.

    Going by that criteria, and considering all the stuff BrightBow and Irsya have said, Micaiah does seem to be a Sue anyways.

    While the "Daein populace cares nothing about their king" angle is shown, they never utilize it, to the point where no one ever asks about Pelleas after his death in 3-13. Not to mention that if Micaiah was really humble, then she wouldn't let herself take over as queen, though Pelleas was probably in the right for abdicating the throne to her. Therefore, it feels like a weakness that the story is embarrassed about, but refuses to rectify it.

    Also, and this is a big one, if I were Ike and/or Tibarn, if someone were to burn alive approximately two-thirds of my entire army, and then make an attempt to gun down the Empress of the continent herself, I'd just kill them. No shenanigans like faking Sothe's death, or asking Tauroneo to talk sense into her. Negotiations kinda don't work if they've happened after willingly murdering 10,000 soldiers in a manner befitting war crimes.

    Finally, if the Begnion Senate really was dickish enough to force a neutral country into an unrighteous war to exterminate an entire species, what would make you think they wouldn't kill you if you won anyways? If you had strength enough to slaughter all laguz, the Senate would obviously decide they weren't worth hanging around as a potential rebel. Thus they'd enact the blood pact, and then after a few months, stage their own invasion, and before you know it, Lekain rules over the entire continent without any opposition. Thus the blood pact was REALLY not worth that much as blackmail when Daein could've instead staged a blitzkrieg on Sienne.

  7. Jill has shitty base strength and HP, but she has by far the best caps of all females. Imo Jill is even the best unit in FE10. Give her a few levels and a seraph robe and she will be great. And she'll be better than Haar in the long term, because of her better speed and luck. Even mages can't do much on her.

    Jill's caps:

    Skill: 38 (same like Haar)

    Strength: 35

    Speed: 35 (only one less than Seraph Knights)

    Defense: 36 (!!)

    Nolan is not a typical fighter. His growths are very balanced. His strength and HP growth are under average for a fighter, but he has decent defense and very good luck and resistance and speed growth (similar to Jill). He's not that powerful as Boyd, he's more a speedfighter.

    Except I need to constantly rig the damn growths in order for him to gain an actual level. Most of the time I keep getting single gains, but blah blah PEMN.

    Also, Jill is impossible to train. She's stuck in the Dawn Brigade, where EVERYONE needs XP or they'll die, and I already have to sacrifice Zihark and Micaiah for XP distribution, not to mention how Leonardo seems to be conpeting with Ronan for "best example of why bow units suck". There's simply no goddamn room to train her, with Steel Axes weighing her down, Knights having actual speed stats, and those REALLY terrible bases. Maybe if I were to have a save file that had a transferred Jill with maxed HP and Strength...

  8. Really just Nolan. I can't understand why tiers keep calling him crutch, because to me he just has an obsession with gaining nothing but speed and luck levels

    Oh, and FE10 Jill. Why the hell did they think that a level 14 Dracoknight with only 24 HP was smart is beyond me...

  9. But as a character he is just as bland of self-insert as Robin is. (though I really liked some of his supports, like Palla/Arran)

    With Arran's supports, I liked how it actually gave him depth for why he would want to die in battle beyond "less painful than sickness", even if it's recycled from Heath and Vaida. With Palla, it's simply a character check for Palla's role as the wife of the Whitewings, and I'm really relieved they didn't do anything stupid with her like making them romantic options. Plus the ending of the Palla/Est supports....And here I thought IS had forgot how to write a complex character, especially with her follow-ups being Mahnya 2.shit and the ara ara checklist that is Cherche.
