  2. I have a hard time thinking what was the most balanced (can none be an option) because their often is that one nagging thing about that ends up contradicting anything resembling balanced. When I says Fates is the closes to being the most balanced, I really mean Conquest because how I never felt one single unit could solo the whole game, while everyone can be usable in a game that is not a cakewalk(Birthright has Ryoma doing #ryomathings and Revelations might as well have grinding as a requirement for certain units if you want to get everything the game has to offer, and you need the Royals for certain chapters). I also don't feel it suffers from being dominated by a singular class (Master Ninja comes close but they don't have the benefits of horse and flying units). I agree with all of the FE 7 centiments that it has less outrageously busted aspects, I think the pre-promotes in FE7 in comparison to other units (Pent vs. Erk) are the closes it gets to imbalanced.

    Awakening as the least balanced for me is a no-brainer if only because pair-up is just that busted, along with Nosferatu taking. I don't have to mention Nosferatu taking while paired-up.

  3. Berkut and... Rinea... Thanks, I hate it. Their dynamic is the main thing I hated most about Echoes (Rinea's treatment) and I don't like how his Fallen Alt and this potential one celebrates it and I am convinced I missed a meme somewhere that explains her popularity.

    Camilla deserves to win just to get back to the people who were suspicious of her popularity not being legit. That she stole a Brave alt because of meme votes, or cheating, or fake accounts etc.

    Character that consistently does well in popularity polls does when in... a "popularity poll". It's really not hard at all to connect the dots and anyone who ignores that willfully ignorant and only want conformation bias.

    Also nothing against Alm (I actually kinda like him) but him doing so badly in this kinda reveals that his CYL3 results were a bit of a fraud, which is what I had already strong suspected.

    I wouldn't say fraud, but more so people were really insistent that he should have an alt and now that said alt is here (I would argue is less impressive than his legendary alt)... less hype about him. Look at Leif in comparison from CYL 2 to CYL 3.

     

  5. Delthea is becoming my most F2P friendly merge project because I got her as my free summon on the Week 13 revival banner, the only Delthea's I have been able to summon were with first free summons.

    I also think it was funny for me how Ayra pity broke me on that World of Thracia for MS!Reinhardt, and now I get him as a freebie on a banner with Ayra as a focus unit. After August's free summon 3 star galore, I'll take these.

  7. Time for some Hot Takes while this is still on the front page:

    • I honestly cannot take the politics in this series seriously because of the foundation of the worlds is based on aristocracies/monarchies. A good majority of the Lords (main characters) come from the nobility, people who are inherently privillaged and I feel that privilage is reflected in how the narratives frame said nobility, they never question whether or not they a single family or the rich in general should be the ones to control the power. They rally the commoners to be supportive of their aristocracy/monarchy because the other aristocracy/monarchy is bad and they simply comply, the character endings depicting that the people were happy with their new monarchs. I am someone who thinks this form of government is a glorified dictatorship. Ike is the commoner who fighting to take down one monarch to ensure another monarch comes into power, and he solves years of insitutional racism over night by killing a goddess. Alm is first shown to be a commoner who rises to power... and said power is a monarchy. The twist in SoV is that Alm was the true heir the whole time so he inherted the position. Ike (of all people) who claims to hate the nobles in Bengion (I think its spelled like this), never questions the foundations of whether Elincia (and I like Elincia) should be the ruler of a whole kingdom because she inherted the position. Maybe I just want a Fire Emblem equilivant to the French Revolution but I am just tried of the politics from a series that frames politics from the perspective from the inherently privilaged.

    @Rezzy And anyone else who cares. I got convinced by...an outside source, so to speak, to give Sothis one last try.

    And holy shit, this seriously just happened.

    H3GtMh8.jpg

    I think this makes up for the three Byleths and three legendary Marths (yes I ended up with yet another one of him too, and right before this session, in fact) I got before this, yeah? XD One Sothis is +HP, -Spd and the other is neutral. I merged the latter into the former. I figure it's better to have an asset somewhere than no asset at all if you merge.

    Now I'm reminded of when I got two Hrids in one session when he debuted. 😛 That was an even luckier instance for me since one Hrid was +Atk, -Spd of all things, but still!

    Congrats on the Sothis'

  9. I wasted all of my 340+ orbs between the Mythic Banner and the Close Defense banner. My results:

    Mythic

    1. Legendary Lyn (My most wanted from Green)
    2. Legendary Alm (My second most wanted unit from the Mythic banner)
    3. Hot Springs Ryoma (This is why I wait for these banners to summon seasonals)
    4. Legendary Azura (My most wanted unit from the Mythic banner)

    Close Defense:

    1. Brave Ephraim (Now have every single Brave Hero)
    2. Sumia (No colourless)

    Honestly people shouldn't expect quality same-sex relationships in games from companies that don't have women or gay men in high positions.

    Which is why we should call them out on their bullshit and hold them accountable when they pull some crap like this on us.

    I felt like Fates was a great step. So I was happy with that. It had *SHOCK* equal representation. 1 for guys and 1 for girls. It could have been better but it wasn't bad. I wasn't okay with, "Zero" because I don't want to date 40 year olds. But NoA aged him the hell down as Niles, all because of writing and casting a voice actor that sounds 20-something. Plus I think I heard that their original S-Support was basically saying something like, "Why am I cursed to like a man" or something along the lines of that. I don't know I read it briefly before feeling super uncomfortable. But basically NoA changed their S-Support to make it feel like a normal. And I'm really surprised NoA didn't see this and think about how us westerners would take the news.

    I never got the impression Niles (I think Zero is a stupid name) was suppose to be 40. I agree that Fates representation could have been better, but like you said, it was equal. There was no bait and switch and the pair ending if you do said support is unequivalently romantic. I know people whined and bitched about Fates localization, but their are cases in which change rather than literal translation can be a benefit. Your S-Support change is a good example of this. We are in 2019, their are no excusses at this point. They have to be intentionally ignorant to pull something like this. Especially when you have customers all over the world.
