The poll answers seem loaded to me. I want to say yes, but the yes responses say that we NEED to have female enemies in Fire Emblem, which we really don't.
True, I feel I could've spent more time on the poll choice descriptions, but I was focusing more on the opening post.
I was also thinking of adding another poll question asking why do you think female enemies are rare, though the roundtable interview answered my question.

- Tiki, due to Manaketes being utterly broken. she can fly too;
Are you sure about that, Male and female Manaketes function the same in FE1.
Outside from that Jeorge should be a little higher, he's probably the best bow unit in the game.
Wolf and Sedgar should also be higher then Beck, they come from free, have good movement as the only Horsemen in the game, and have an easily accessed weapon type.

Alternatively, an Advance Wars-style strategy game where you control the big armies of mooks we never actually see in the background of the games' main storylines. We could lead the Frelian army against Grado or the forces of the Laguz Alliance against Begnion while Ephraim/Ike do their stuff.
That could be a very fun multiplayer experience.

I did specify the NES game you cheater. But yeah, my point is that ambiguous designs are more than possible for most classes and I think that's the way they should go unless they want to personalize all generics.
The NES sprite for male mages is the same, just less colorful. A toga covered by a cape and pointy hat.

Alright cool then, I'll take it.
Here's the IPS and SMC files.

Thanks, and I'm not sure. Can SNES 9x use SMC?
Yes, especially if its a mac SNES9x.

Hmm.. actually kinda unfortunate. I liked weapons not having weight for a change. Sometimes you just want strict upgrades to weapons.
I'm actually considering doing a fan patch that removes weight, except for breath obviously.
6 minutes ago, Swift Saturn said:Also on another note, because I'm too lazy to search for it, can anyone provide me with the link to the latest English patch file?
Here's the official page.
I can also attach my translated rom to a post if your emulator uses SMC files?

Yeah, I'm saying they should just make ambiguous designs for the faceless characters.
It's a pretty light outfit, but do you think it looks inherently feminine or masculine? Would you be surprised if that unit was revealed to be female? I know Linde gets her own sprite (as player and boss characters should), but a cloaked figure wearing robes and a hood could be any gender.
They could, but they haven't done so and for many lightly armored classes it wouldn't be easy.
You can see much of the body in that outfit, only the head is covered with a pointy hat.

I'm not so sure about another spinoff, while Mirage Sessions had its good points, FE: Warriors didn't really work in my opinion.
There'd have to be a lot of passion for the original series in the project and a sense that the game was meant to stand on its own as a game rather then just a vehicle for advertising main FE games.

I don't have a link in a moment, but I'm sure it exists somewhere in this thread. If I notice it at all, I'll be sure to repost it and tag you.
Sure, that would be great.

Wait, weapons have weight in this game? They didn't in the remake, so I assumed they didn't have any here too.
Yes, weapons have weight.
Weight was something New Mystery of the Emblem removed along with dismounting.

Can't double with Javs? That's wack, that's also really nice to know.
Their weight is 20.
Dragon breath is also 20, but unlike javelins, Breath ignores the defense of all non dragon units.
Speaking of dragons, Manaketes function like the Laguz of POR and RD. When a dragon stone is used, the manakete turns into a dragon based class for a certain number of turns, determined by luck. Enemy Manaketes get to stay in Dragon form indefinitely though.

Well, the page on the game from this site, seems to be helping quite a bit, but I would also appreciate people describing their experiences and informing me of things to look out for.
You can't double with javelins.
Watch out for the boss of Book 2, chapter 2, he moves when you get in range and has a Ridersbane.

They don't have a tonne of female enemies either though. Isn't that precisely what were talking about? What we think they should do?
Myrmidon I can agree with since they're designed to be light armour units. But Mages, not really. Look at the FE1 mage sprite.
They don't design male and female armor the same in the series, most of the time, the female uniform is drastically different from the uniform worn by male members of the same class.

I have, its a pretty light outfit as you can see here.

I can answer questions, what do you wanna know?
-
Does anyone have a link to some of the older versions, like patch v2.01, I wanna try some AR codes?
Speaking of AR codes, would anyone on the team be interested in converting a Japanese region code for Shadow Dragon to the US version? I have a tutorial for converting codes, all that is needed is a windows and an emulator.

There can be if you choose to draw them that way. But making faceless gender ambiguous soldiers is more than possible too.
They don't do that though.
And again, while it makes some sense for some classes like Knight to be genderly ambiguous(real armor isn't made to distinguish between gender), others like myrmidon and mage should make the unit's appearance clear.

1. Bahadur the Warrior Captain of Verdane from Chapter 1.
Gender: Male
Class: Warrior
Allegiance: VerdaneBio: A longtime commander of Verdane in his 40s and close confidant of Kinbois who has seen his fair sure of victories, Bahadur is proud to be one of the few remaining warriors in the nation(really he is the only Warrior other then the Princes in Verdane's army). He has looked after the Princes of Verdane for 17 years and helped teach Kinbois and Gandolf how to fight(hence them being the only other warriors in Verdane).
Bahadur was proud of his skill as a tactician and had written several books. Eager to improve Verdane was more then just the barbarians, Grannevale dismissed of them, Bahadur approved of the war against Grannevale, he gave Gandolf the idea to marry into royalty by capturing a Grannevalian noblewoman. Though Gandolf ignored Bahadur's advice about acting gentlemanly and pulling a good cop/bad cop routine to get her to fall into stockholm syndrome.
Bahadur was not happy when he learned of Kinbois capturing Prince Shanan of Isaach to blackmail Ayra into fighting for them, as he hoped Verdane and Isaach could join together to take out Grannevale. Nevertheless he followed his liege's orders, while doing all he could to make sure Shannan's captivity was as comfortable as possible. During the defense of his master's castle, Bahadur put up a good fight, but was ultimately slain by Sigurd, the warrior's life ending at age 46.

I don't think many people care about casual mode, only phoenix mode got any controversy.

Thinking on this sone more, I'm actually okay with their being little to no female generics. I mean if you think about it, these are generics. The whole point of them is that they don't have an identity. When I look at them I should be able to imagine they're any kind of individual. It'd be like saying we need more blond hair generics. I'm not under the impression the enemy is fielding an army of clones that look identical. 5-10% of them could well be female. I think the best route to go would be to make the generics more generic looking like in the old days as someone pointed out. Or just have like a helmet covering their face. Either that or go crazy and give a unique artwork to every enemy in the game. Wouldn't actually be impossible if it used a similar method to making the avatar and just randomised features.
Gonna to disagree there, even in full uniform there are obvious differences between male and female soldiers in FE.
Spoiler
See the female soldier artwork here, they drew female generics they just didn't use them.

Not all the time, there are enemy valkyries, and maids. I was referring to the modern games
Maids and Strategists were designed as female first, so keep that in mind. Its part of the female only class deal.
Whats also interesting is Awakening had artwork for generic classes of both genders, outside of gender exclusive classes, yet only the male ones got used in most cases.

You're also missing the indifference choice.
I feel it adds more personality and flavor to the enemy, personally.
I'm noting your post here.

I thought female bosses/ enemies are rarely used because of how fragile they are. Most enemy pegasus knight tend to die in one hit, and applies to staff units too.
Then why does FE have male staff units as enemies all the time?
2 hours ago, Jingle Jangle said:I thought female bosses/ enemies are rarely used because of how fragile they are. Most enemy pegasus knight tend to die in one hit, and applies to staff units too. Also making another portrait for unisex classes feels like a lot of effort for little gain.
Most generic class portraits are extremely ambiguous and indeed all these portraits above are used for female generics in FE4.

I don't mean to rag on 3H, I'll wait until the game is released before I form any opinions on the game, but there is one, just one, little, itty bitty thing I want to get out of my system.
NO MORE GREEN HAIRED MANAKETES!
Tiki and Nagi/a were fine, Nowi and canon Nah were okay, but Mila and Duma pressed against a line for me which 3H has now broken. Any color but green! Not all Archanean Divine Dragon Manaketes even had green:
-but clearly this guy is being forgotten.
Same, I am so tired of Tiki clones!
More Xane clones, we only have one pseudo Xane clone in TearRing saga.

She's only one single exception in a female only class and there are no other minor female bosses within the game. Similar deal with that FalcoKnight boss in FE6.
Who would you consider to be the most "realistic" Lord?
in General Fire Emblem

I always felt the parts with August lecturing Leif about his father's mistakes and about the suffering of the poor, including bandits, were surprisingly realistic.
