    Favorite and Least Favorite Characters So Far

    in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

    Posted · Edited by I'm a Spheal

    Favourite:

    Saber, he's a cool dude.

    Delthea, mainly because seeing her putting in the work against Berkut and what's his face  was utterly hilarious.

    Least Favourite:

    Reina  Rinea, the fact that I had to look up her name should give you a clue. Most of the new characters in general do nothing for me. I'll give Faye this... out of all the new characters, I can remember her existence. 

    First hands-on Impressions?

    So far the good news is that even on my older system (2DS) it does run well, no lagging so I'm happy, I just recruited Clair so as of now... I like it better than Awakening. When I say I don't care about story in video games, I really don't care about story in video games... characters are fine, not spectacular... I like them enough, no L'Arachel's so far (my least favourite FE character ever). My only problem from a gameplay perspective is that it's really easy if you know anything about Fire Emblem (especially normal mode). If I had to rank it so far it's:

    1. Fates
    2. Sacred Stones
    3. Shadows of Valentia
    4. Awakening 
    5. Blazing Sword

    Update:

    I retract that better than Awakening statement, summoner spamming alone is making me down grade my opinion of Echoes; they just drag this shit out for no reason; it's not fun to battle against and it's adds nothing in terms of difficulty.

    Swapping Out Characters From The Summoning Pool?

    I thought you could get Eliwood as a 5 star because he was a focus during one of the grand hero battles; guess they changed that. I don't think F!Corrin is happening because she's a free hand out to Android users (a free 4 star is pretty nice tho). I think the system of special focuses during GHB is the way you'll get these characters as 5 stars.

    I like that all 3 routes feel like different games, even when they would re-use maps; they would more often than not play differently. 

    I like that every skill is useful in their own way.

    I like the Japanese inspired designs for Hoshido and want future games to incorporate different cultures into their designs.

    1-2 range healing and Live to Serve should be the new standard for healers from now on.

    With re-classing and inheritances, I like that the marriage partner also benefits from the pairing.

    I love characters like: Charlotte, Niles, Elise, Takumi, Effie, Azama, Laslow, Setsuna, Felicia, etc... even Iago is entertainingly campy to me.

    Did you accidentally double type that pair of 1's in the middle?

     

    They're probably still experimenting with the system and probably want to see how the multiplier affects match-ups where there's a clear winner. (At least, that's exactly what I'd do if I were a game developer and testing things in production.)

    I did apparently, my apologizes.

    Utility is the reason why, you can make them whatever you want them to be. Even classes you can't normally have access to on Conquest. Even in their base class, Yato is a great personal weapon, access to tombs as a Nohr Noble and the Dragonstone is useful for magical damage and defense bonuses (which get better with the upgraded Yato you get on Conquest).
