Hm, well I took Hero's advice, and just beaten the final chapter on the first attempt. :D
Luna is so broken in this game...Nergal was killed in one hit, and the fire dragon was down in two. :P
I took my time until Lloyd and Linus appeared, because then I realized how strong they are and decided that I had to kill them both in one turn. It wasn't too hard after that.
I think I definitely did better on the final chapter this second playthrough! :D
Aside from Eliwood, Lyn, Hector, Nils, and Athos, I have 7 to choose from.
20/10 and above would be ideal, huh? I guess I could bring Kent, Sain, Pent, Hawkeye, Marcus, and Jaffar...I'm not sure between Hawkeye or Marcus...
...I'm stuck on who to take along, and how I'm going to distribute the stat boosters I've picked up.

I don't think I did such a good job with my team at all... :/
Here's what I have, I suppose:
Angelic Robe (x1)
Energy Ring (x1)
Secret Book (x2)
Speedwings (x2)
Goddess Icon (x2)
Dragonshield (x2)
Talisman (x2)
Boots (x1)
Body Ring (x1)
Or maybe I shouls just give all of them to the Lords.
But Amelia seemed to have dropped the debate a long time ago. Not much sense to continue on with this.
Also a note to whase: when it comes to character debates, people usually go by average stats, not by the off-chance that you get lucky/unlucky with the RNG concerning growths and level-ups.
As in, "I don't know why this thread is still here when it should've been moved" or "I don't know why you're still taking this thing so seriously".
Take your pick.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. That I was trying too hard.
Second-person narrative isn't really feasible on a message board though. It just sounds even more stupid than third-person narrative if it isn't pulled off correctly.
Maybe that's the reason I'm in such a slump. It feels like I'm just another user here...
Like people here honestly liked it better when I referred to myself in the third-person.
Hm, perhaps you are just ranting then. Maybe it's because crossbows ignore strength that they aren't broken, considering that the weakest crossobw surpasses the most powerful regular bow in MT. Like NinjaMonkey stated earlier, crossbows are still bows.
Also, you have to keep in mind that crossbows ignore the user's Strength stat, for good reason:
Bowgun
24 MT 100 HIT 0 CRT 12 WT
The weakest Crossbow. The most powerful Bow in the game, Double Bow, has 22 MT.
Arbalest
38 MT 100 HIT 15 CRT 20 WT
The most powerful crossbow.
