Final Chapter in FE7 is pretty awesome.
I also like the final stage of the Ruins in FE8. I love fighting against overwhelming odds.
-
Levin and Fury pair up really quickly. Never had too much problem pairing character even without jealousy.
-
I'm pretty sure he can use Mercurius is his weapon level is high enough. I know Falchion doesn't work.
-
This running gag between me and a friend is that we need a remake of Gaiden, if only to see what the hell Doma is suppose to be. That alone is worth it.
-
Thracia 776's arena wasn't a remix from any other game either. I think it's fine to mix it up. I kind of like the theme.
-
-I don't get why people cry and moan about Emmeryn surviving when in actuality it would make LESS sense for her to die
I think it's more of the suspension of disbelief. Yes, this is a story with magic and dragons, but if there's one thing that stays true is that people die.

Also Marth WILL be used in this run. Sorry.
Booooooooo!
Ok fine, I guess using only swordmaster Wrys is kind of like torture.

I don't know, Zelda did an avatar protagonist excellently with several amazing stories; Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, and Skyward Sword in particular. Then again, Zelda is not Fire Emblem, so it might not be possible to do what Zelda did in an FE game.
Link doesn't talk, and I really don't think Zelda stories are as complex as Fire Emblem.

Everybody's bones are different in some ways. It's not just humans, but animals are the same. You can get 10 skulls of the same kind of animal, and each of them would have it's own little differences. There's nothing to worry about.

If it'll make you feel any better, I'm sure Hong Kong will treat you like shit too, if you're Asian. Unless you are from Hong Kong.
I know a guy who's white, but married a girl from mainland China and they live went to Hong Kong. When the guy was by himself at restaurants and bars, they treat him like a king. They constantly trying to make him comfortable. They even offered him free drinks. When he had dinner with his wife, they were met with crappy service. They don't seem to like other Asians too, but I don't know how much truth there is to this.
I am Chinese, but grew up in America. right now I'm working in China, and it is just strange. Xenophobia is very weird in that while people might hate you, you also get extra perks by being foreign. I'm told the African folks living there offer to help Chinese locals make police calls because the police gets here faster if they think a foreigner is in trouble. If it's a regular Chinese citizen, they'll take their time. I'm not saying this is necessarily a good thing, I just want to show how non-nonsensical xenophobia can be.
I'm an expat living in China, not Asian.
What city do you live in? I'd love to make some new friends that I can talk to more fluently. Or hell, talk about Fire Emblem.

I want to add that I DETEST characters like Robin, Chris, and Korrin. I hate these narcissistic self inserts into the story. I'm still trying to decide who is the worst out of the 3 of them.
I don't think I'd mind Robin as much if he was a regular pre-designed character. Also no POV FMV's.
Plus, who is Grima? Is he Medeus? Did they just throw him into the story out of nowhere? Why connect it to FE3 if you're going to screw up the canon with this all new enemy?
As everyone pointed out, the connection the Gaiden was incredibly lame. They could have saved it by showing us if only just the corpse of Doma so we know WTF it's suppose to be, that would have saved that section of the story. Even a skeleton of Doma. I don't care!
I don't mind time travel to unit the 2 generations though. I thought that was a clever idea. FE4 already did the time skip.
-
I'm not talking about any Fire Emblem in particular. I never understood how wins and losses are counted in the game. What counts as a loss? I thought dying is the only way to lose.
-
Wait for Hugh instead. Pay him for pull price and get good stats. Harder to get RNG screwed.
-
I think I would pick Amalda's route for your first play through. That route is less frustrating. The stupid forest area is annoying as hell. First, you get through the place at a crawl due to trees everywhere. Then you have these hidden teleport traps that'll wrap your characters to another section of the map, causing you to travel further. Then there are the dark forest areas that you can't pass through. It's really hard to see since they are only slightly darker than the regular trees. One of the worst maps in Fire Emblem IMO. Awful awful chapter.
-
Is it actually stated he doesn't have Minor Lopt?
I would think they wanted him dead because, having already their Major Lopt vessel, they saw Cyas's Major Fala as too dangerous to leave him be, even if he had Minor Lopt.
Yeah, I always wondered about that. It feels like we're doing biology homework right now.
-
I'm the type that doesn't spam staves and promote healers later. It's not a big deal. You don't want them in the front line anyway. Mounted healers are great because they can move further so there's also that.
-
My only advice to to pray to the RNG gods.

You already took this girl to the prom?
Just ask her out and don't overthink it. All you need is to be confident, and don't take rejection too personal. There's no magic bullet to asking a girl out. None of us will know how she'll respond. No one can read minds. Hell, we know her less than you.
Stand up straight, look her in the eye, and ask if she wants to go out with you. If she rejects you just say, ok cool, thanks anyway, and walk away.
I'm not a casanova either, but I know for fact that when it works, it's really simple.

The game wasn't really designed for savestates and grind for EXP. Would be even more evil if they only put arenas in chapters with no shops whatsoever.
-
Hmm, this post reminded me I need to check out the game. I've been avoiding it ever since I found out what the game's actually like...

Depression isn't always about feeling down on yourself. Having a complete disinterest in everything is very much a sign of depression. That being said, it's not really a big deal to feel depressed once in a while. It's when you feel that way all the time that it becomes an issue.
Clinical depression is no joke. I recommend OP to see a doctor if this continues.
It's also true that everyone gets into that mood once in a while. You feel unmotivated and don't have any interest in doing things.

Oh nice, I didn't know there was a new patch to Fire Emblem Gaiden!
-
What about old Karel? He's nothing like young Karel. I know you don't get to use him much, but old Karel is a lot of fun to level up even if just for a tiny bit.
-
anyways do you plan on covering the DS games as 1 episode since you've already covered the originals.
you've done a really good job on the old episodes but I felt like with the first episode you really never mentioned anything about the story
That's exactly what I planned to do. There's not enough new to comment on by themselves.
So Rutger got RNG screwed hard
in Fire Emblem: Binding Blade

It's not that bad. That strength is amazing. You still have time to catch up on speed and skills.
