Without spoilers, your comment begs the question of what is her kingdom?

Youth, lol. I remember when I thought 50 was really old. Gunter is probably closer to 70.

I loved it. I have this match up on one of my files. Funny supports and Nina was A-OK with me.

They both totally look and act like girls in their late teens. To give you a real life example, look at Maisie Williams who plays Ayra Stark on Game of Thrones. She's 19. She doesn't look any older than Sakura IMO.

I got her at Chapter 7.

I would guess that the characters are bit older than most of you are placing them as. Starting with the 1st gen royals: Xander - 30 Camilla - 28 (Camilla has an extremely womanly figure. Most women who are athletic don't develop that way until their 30s, but I don't think that Xander is any older than 30 so I'm putting her close) Ryoma - 28 Hinoka - 26 Azura - 26 Corrin - 24 Leo - 22 Takumi - 22 Sakura - 18 Elise - 17 I think they are older than most people are placing them because of their physical appearance and their parents. Sumeragi died at what looks to be his mid-40s (about 10-15 years before the game starts), Garon seems to be in his 60s now. Mikoto looks to be in her mid-40s right now.

Because 'too easy' isn't worse. It's different. It provides options. If you want a hard ass challenge, great, solo the thing with a level 12 Orochi. Try to do it in one round. You can make your own challenges when you're playing your own units. Personally, I started doing stuff like that with both Awakening and Fates DLC where you play your own characters. But it's not like I want to do that all the time. It's tedious. Sometimes I just like curb-stomping the level. No option this way. Set difficulty, set unit, play our way or the highway (or buy a powersave and manufacture the skill items at will). Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But in a single player game, what I do doesn't hurt you or vice versa. And the PvP is irrelevant when I see 1st gen units running around with Aptitude.

There is actually. When you set all the conditions in advance, you basically turn the level into a puzzle. One that if you handle it pretty much the same way every time, you'll always be successful (barring RNG, but that's hardly 'making you think'.). And with the internet, no puzzle survives more than a few hours before guides going up that will tell you how to deal with it to the turn.

That assumes that everyone is playing for 'challenge.' Sometimes I am. That's what no-grind lunatic playthroughs are for. As for the story relating to alternate reality versions of our characters, that's a story contrivance. They don't need to write the story that way. I bought Map Pack 1 on the first day. Seriously, thinking of just getting only the Point Blank one this time. Or even just using the powersaves and reading the convos on the wiki.

I like Rhajat much better than Tharja. I don't find her nearly as creepy. She just seems like a sad lonely little girl who like all the other children got abandoned by her parents. Most of her supports don't really show her as being a bad person or into dark creepy things like Tharja.

I understand why they did it, but the thing about a RPG is that playing your own characters, even if they are OP is part of the fun. I don't care about the items, if I just want the skills, I could powersave in as many of the items as I want. I would prefer they just let me play my own characters and they can keep the items. Take Hidden Truths, for example. I actually like watching the story of it, but the actual fights are tedious. Not hard exactly, just tedious. As it is now, I'm going to play them to watch the story then probably ignore most of them. By contrast, I still play most of the Awakening DLC. Some things weren't broke.

Go ahead, you've piqued my curiosity.

Glad we're getting more stuff soon, but I don't get why they keep forcing us to use their crappy pre-built teams. We spend all this time crafting a good team and can't play them. Grrr....

I didn't even know this was a thing. I loved her singing. I'm sad the soundtrack doesn't include the English vocals.

My Effie!Mitama uses a Shining Bow as a priestess so she can't use offensive skills anyway. I certainly don't see Astra as that important for her. She's a good and sturdy healer and that's a good role for her in my team.

Not the top, but a definite second tier stalwart. Like Metroid, StarFox or Kirby. But not something they would depend on to sell systems.

My copy from CDJapan is waiting for me to pick up at FedEx. Can't wait.

I rather like the stories of many of the support conversations. I actually think the story up to Chapter 6 is pretty good. I have no great quarrel with Birthright's story since it's pretty close to the only rational option. I actually don't think the overall conflict is bad, just the way the games go about dealing with it.

Right now, I like Awakening a bit better. Fates does a lot of things right, but it makes some monumentally horrible mistakes IMO. To wit: 1) Forging is just stupid OP. It's time consuming and expensive, but in Birthright and Revelation it's not difficult at all for every character to have double-digit attack weapons with crit and high accuracy. 2) Better ranked weapons having drawbacks. While at first, I thought I would like this, I then realized that you can forge into better weapons anyway so who cares. Right now, I just sell most high level weapons (except the unique ones) to pay for forging Iron weapons (and equivalent) to +4 and above 3) Kids. I like many of the kids, not as much as the Awakening kids (although my favorite kids are in Fates too so it's all good), but the Deep Realms is just monumentally stupid. That and the fact that assuming a 9 month gestation period, there is literally no way these kids have time to be born. 4) The story in Fates is just plain awful. All three paths, although Birthrights at least is consistent if boring. Conquest while having amazing levels and gameplay is just unbelievably bad. 5) I have to wonder why they bothered to nerf things like Galeforce and Lifetaker while allowing BS like Replicate & Warp to exist. All that said, Fates has better levels, music, art, most of its mechanics are better as well so it's a close call.

A second cousin wouldn't be illegal in real life in most places nor would the threat of harm to offspring be particularly large either.

I did it anyway on one of my files. That's one of my throwaway files so maybe I'll do some powersave gene therapy on him.

Fates OST is fantastic, listening to it now. Much better than Awakening. Can't wait until the CDs come out next week. I like a lot it, but Past Light, Justice RIP and Dusk Falls are probably my favorites.

Thanks. That sounds....terrifying honestly.

Which is just terrible since that's literally the only unique mama conversation you're going to get. I just say to heck with it and do it anyway.

What does PMU stand for?
