Awesome!! I've sent you an invite to the PM of my story.

Thank you, though I doubt it'll ever reach that point. I did write up scripts for 18 of the episodes, and I'll be willing to share the first 3 episodes' scripts if you're up for it (I'm willing to share more episodes as you progress through the scripts. I trust you won't plagiarize it or anything like that). Keep in mind: it's a work in progress, I wrote the scripts around 2 years ago (and haven't worked on the scripts since then, even though I'm aware of some glaring flaws in the episodes/scripts), and the only feedback it's gotten was from 2 people who only fully read the first episode's script.

Also, I really liked your answer for the "genetically modified humans" question. I really liked how in-depth you went on how it's wrong and destructive on multiple levels.

Ah, fair enough.

I actually prefer the "hair covering half the face" look for female characters, but that's just me.

You don't have to apologize. That's actually pretty neat. I'm interested in seeing the other OC art that you've drawn, if you're okay with showing me.

Thanks!! My name in Super Mario Maker 2 is Ma Ee O, so if you or Michael see someone with that name online, know that "it's-a-me"!!

40%-50% in Vancouver? Wow, I didn't think it'd be that high. How many of them are Filipinos?

Hmm... good point about Xane. Well, the only other thing I can think of is give him some sort of story related reason for him to have a dragonstone (like being transported to the Heroes realm with a dragon stone mysteriously on him). Barring that, they could make him an infantry sword user with high resistance or magic resisting skills, since in FE1 and FE3 Xane was able to use swords without transforming and FE3, 11, and 12 made him have high resistance while untransformed.

I'm glad you think those posts are okay. I've been really paranoid about my posts ever since Integrity gave me a warn for literally saying "If you don't like Shadow Dragon, fine. But you don't need to go posting in its VC release thread only to rain on its parade" to NinjaMonkey. And thanks for arguing against Zeratul for me, in regards to siding with me on Smash's influence on the poll. I don't think I'm going to respond to his posts any further, since he made it clear in his last post that he's not being level-headed or respectful about the discussion at all.

Hardin's still missing?! I can't believe I didn't notice that, especially with me liking him a lot during my very first playthrough of FE3 Book 1 (which was also my very first time playing an FE game) since I found him cool looking. Xane, I feel like with him technically being a manakete, they could implement him (but it would have to be as a dragon). They did something similar with Ninian being a manakete, right?

Perhaps I'll use that banner, but at the same time, I feel like if I were to use it, it would make my posts in page 55-56 of the Choose Your Legends thread to look more biased. You don't think my posts on those pages are too biased/unreasonable/heated, do you?

Ah, I guess 3DS bias in the voting gauntlets is a lot less prominent than I thought. Well, gauntlets and choosing legends aside, which characters are you hoping will be playable in Heroes that aren't yet? I've personally been waiting for both Gerik and Cormag for quite some time. Those two would probably be my 2nd and 3rd favourite male FE characters, respectively. Sacred Stones characters aside, I'm wanting Elice to be playable as well (due to me liking her personality of her willingly giving herself up as a hostage to save others, her prettiness, and her being Marth's sister).

Ah, the voting gauntlets. To be honest, I've gotten rather bitter about those and have completely ignored them since Awakening/Fates characters tend to dominate them (I'm glad to hear about Ephraim's victory over Chrom, though). Maybe I'll check them out again in the future. Keep in mind, I don't have a cell phone at all and I don't plan on getting one, for personal reasons (like not enough job income to pay off a phone and potential addiction to a phone being a likely problem for me). So I can't play Heroes or participate in gauntlets. I don't know if it was Lushen, but either way, the Ephraim fan seemed to be a bit too forceful on having people vote for Ephraim, in terms of not really acknowledging that other people should be free to vote for whoever they want and repeatedly discouraging voting for characters that aren't Ephraim.

Well, I personally never cared too much about tiers and competitive/efficient play, and just stick with my favourites. I do completely agree that the poster boy of FE (Marth) should be getting more attention than what he's currently receiving, especially with how so many characters that don't even have a lord role are getting more versions of themselves than Marth has. And that's awesome! I guess I'll try convincing Fire Emblem Fan, since he was on-board with giving Marth the recognition he deserves by voting for him, until this Ephraim fan discouraged him with talk on split votes. With Radiant Dawn Ike and Masked Marth being banned from CYL 2, I'm confident that Intelligent System is already accounting for split votes/votes spread between different games, and I think I can convince Fire Emblem Fan of that.

Wait, needs it as in "Marth's the mascot of Fire Emblem and he should have an alternate version of himself, seeing how Xander and Lucina already have 3+ versions of themselves" or "competitively, Marth is bad in Heroes and he needs better skills"? As for people who are on board with it, it sounds like we've got a good amount of Marth support.

Thanks!! So how many others have you been able to recruit to the cause? Sadly, I'm not very good at convincing others for things like this.

I was quite against Lucina in Fire Emblem Warriors as well, and now that you reminded me of "the weapon is what creates the moveset" rule in the Warriors series, now I'm even against it more. And I get you. I mean, there's definitely some criticism people give certain character's that unfair/incorrect, but there's some views you can't argue against, especially when it's mainly opinion/experience based (like someone thinking FE4 females looks to masculine or when someone constantly gets bad level ups from Hector).

doofina/Ema Skye are the same person. Ema Skye is just his newest name change while doofina is the username he's used the longest. 

Thanks.

I suppose so. I mean, neither the Tellius or DS era had particularly rabid fans even when they were the most recent games during their time (Jugdral did, despite never being the most recent one online, in a sense, though Jugdral is another story for another time). Keep in mind, I don't think I have too big a problem with the whole "waifu emblem" element, since even in series like Harvest Moon that have similar elements, I didn't find it weird or gross (so long as people keep it to a "safe for work" level). And although gameplay-wise, I would get married in games like those, I personally wouldn't obsess over those female characters too much, even if I did really like them looks and personality-wise.

Well, since I doubt mods are reading this, and since I've seen people get away warnless with talking about certain SF members making unreasonable posts, it's doofina/Ema Skye.

I hope you don't mind how worked up I always get over unreasonable fans. I do know it's something i need to tone down.

Well, I suppose you make sense. I still find the general Fates/Awakening fanbases far worse than any Archanean fans I've seen, or even Valentia and Magvel for that matter. I guess I've let a certain Awakening fanboy on SF get to me far too much. I'm so glad he's not active on SF these days.

Well, with quite a few Awakening fans actually believing/wanting Lucina to replace Marth in Smash Bros. despite Marth being the first lord and the face of the series, yes, I totally blame them. I'm just sick of how out of control and unreasonable certain Awakening/Fates fans have gotten. I suppose being all gung-ho about Awakening/Fates isn't that harmful/annoying in itself, but doing that while downplaying/disrespecting FEs that aren't Awakening/Fates got really grating really fast, especially with them constantly saying "Awakening saved the series, therefore it's the most important". Well the last time I checked, the Fire Emblem series existing in the first place (Archanea) is far more important than the series being "revived" (Ylisse).

I hope I'm not sounding like too much of a downer. I'm just... really sick of dealing with the rabid Awakening/Fates fans.

You're welcome. =)

Thanks!! It's nice to see a site dedicated to Archanean Fire Emblem material, especially with the overload of Awakening and Fates fan material these days.

Thanks Rex! My birthday celebration was pretty good, though my cousin did end up upstaging the attention from my younger siblings and some of my friends weren't able to show up. Well, I still had fun watching some of my friends try out Shovel Knight for the first time (in co-op mode).

Thank you Hattusili!! =D

Thanks! I've tried looking up the specifics for FE1's Miracle Rapier growth boosts myself, but all the sources I found either listed nothing about boosted growths, or just said "boosts growth rates" with nothing more specific afterwards.

So when it says procs becoming +2, do you know if it means all stats (eg: HP +2, Str +2, Spd +2), or each stat has a chance of being +2? (eg: HP +1, Str +2, Spd +1)

Ah. Would you happen to know how much the Miracle Rapier increases Marth's growths by?

I've been average, I guess. Things could definitely stand to improve, but it's not like I'm particularly swamped with work or anything like that. So who are your favourite Echoes characters? I haven't played Echoes, but I did play and defeat Fire Emblem Gaiden.
