Damn. Forgot all about that. XD That definitely makes a difference as well lmao.

Ironically it's the door of the dead. When you enter it, take the first right then left.

I just finished her side in Act 4 and she does seem to have gotten slightly better. I feel like by Act 5 she'll be a lot better in terms of her naivety. (But we'll see I guess. Still have to get there lol)

Yeah. That's how I see it at least. I mean, she definitely does seem rather naive especially at the beginning of her route. A good example is when she tried to reason with the pirates but Saber told her that there's no point.

I believe she had it in her head that as long as she reached the temple of Mila everything would be fine and fix itself so there'd be "no need for Alm to go to war" which is why she got upset. I think she overreacted but I understand her reasons. :p

Definitely tied for favorite. While I know other FE games are objectively better game-play wise, this is probably my personal favorite for that kind of stuff. I really do enjoy it and even the maps lmao. It really nailed the things I really like in not only a FE game, but a RPG game as well. So 10/10 would play again.

The only characters I haven't gotten yet are Tatiana, Zeke/Camus and Mycen, so just note that. Favorites: Saber: I really like how he's sort of a "dad" figure for Celica, and I love how is interactions grow with her throughout the game as well as the fact that he's quite plot-important and prominent throughout the entire thing. (so far) Also I love how he got his own map with Celica. That was really cool. Est: I like her voice a lot and how her lines are delivered. She's also an amazing unit (as always) and my party would honestly be worse off without her. Delthea: Even though she's bratty, she does actually care about people as seen in her A ranks with Claire and Luthier, which makes me happy. Her voice is pretty good although I think there's a bit much of the whole, "Call me awesome!" thing going on with her. She's a complete monster on the battle field and I respect that. Also I think her artwork is adorkable. Mae: I love Cherami Leigh so I knew I was going to love Mae's character and love her I do. Her interactions are all really great along side her supports, which makes me happy. Sonya: Sonya's support conversation with Genny was really good and made me like her a lot more as a character - same with her base conversations. And she's also amazing as a unit, which is a plus. Honorable mentions: Alm, Gray, Tobin, Catria, Luthier, Boey and Leon. Least Favorites/Dislikes: None. At least not really. I don't particularly dislike any character when referring to personality if I'm honest, only characters gameplay wise. (Though I do wish Faye wasn't so thirsty. :/) And really the only character I've had a HUGE problem with so far has been Clive. My Clive sucks so bad. RIP Clive and all his dreams 2K17

Oh, yeah. He's flaming. But seriously, they handled it well and for that I'm glad. I'm happy it's not like a whole "I'm gay~! *insert rainbow*" sorta thing where him being gay is extremely forced/is his only personality trait. So kudos to Nintendo for making a good gay character. *claps* As far as my thoughts on him though, I like him a good amount. I really liked his base conversations and supports as well as him as a unit.

Huh, that's interesting. Could be pretty cool, though. If another remake happens, then I'm done with it lol.

Oh I know. I meant for future FE games. I can imagine certain dungeons presenting... more challenges without having so many uses lol.

I like it a lot, actually. Sure as hell beats restarting whenever someone dies, that's for sure. I'd be lying if I said I haven't used it lol. I think the most I've ever used it was like, two or three times in one battle? Mostly due to me accidentally eating food items or clicking wait on people though, lmao. I wouldn't mind seeing it return at all, but with less uses. I think I have 9 atm? If I'm being honest, that's a bit excessive. I think a more appropriate number would be 5 max. But again, it's a very nice and handy feature.

I really like the maps because they feel natural and they look pretty. I don't care if they're "poorly designed." To me they're just fun, and as long as I enjoy them then I'm happy. :3 I wouldn't claim these maps to be the best in the series, because I know objectively there a much better maps. However, as far as personal preference goes, I find them great. :P

I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far, or dare I say I'm loving it? For me, this is easily one of my favorite FE games, though I'm still trying to work out it's placing compared to my other faves. Thoughts on maps/gameplay/voice acting/music/art/characters/story/writing/forging/villages/dungeons/complaints/fatigue/additional thoughts. WARNING: LONG. Anyways I have to say, Saber has honestly been a godsend so far. My Saber has been getting great stat growths and he has carried/saved me countless times on Celica's route. Without him I think I'd have a lot more trouble lmao. Faye in Alm's route is a friggin' god as well. Not as much anymore, but during the first Act she got tons of defense and wouldn't take damage from anybody. That mixed in with Nosferatu and her oddly high success with it made her that much better. Too bad she's thirsty af. Est is also amazing as always, same with Catria. And I find it extremely satisfying on maps with Cantors because of all the kills that appear when you finish the map. Verrrrrrry satisfying. 10/10 would echo again. I hope for more remakes in the future. :p

This is so true and what I tend to stick with, especially after seeing games like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorer's of Sky get a freaking 4.9/10 on IGN. (that game was great, mind you) Well, that kind of review among other ones. I just really avoid taking reviews in general to heart due to how it all comes down to the reviewer's subjective thoughts, though that's a given. Either way, good on Echoes I suppose. Hopefully it's as good as I think it'll be. :p (gameplay wise, that is)

lmao relatable. Although I think I'm actually gonna go for Sonya. She just looks so dope. I mean, they both do, but......... hmmmm. Maybe Dean if I play through Normal first then Sonya on Hard.

Do classes add to growth rates at all in this game or no? I don't think they do, but seeing the graph makes me wonder. Especially when it comes to resistance since literally everyone has pitiful growths for that. Also as a side-note, the models look pretty good.

Especially with Alm's map theme, which seems to be the shortest song. At least Celica's has more length, haha.

I don't feel as if I'm judging the worth of the music, at least that's not my intent nor how I see it. I listen to and enjoy a lot of Fire Emblem soundtracks, it's just Echoes' is seemingly better written. I'll make a write-up later of why I said Echoes' composition is objectively better, probably on a separate post because I don't want to derail this one too heavily.

Context. That was my personal opinion on the music in terms of how it sounded to me. That was in response to somebody else when I was talking about the composition aspect. You can't just take two sentences from different posts and put them together. Look at the context first next time, please. Sure. I'll do it later though. My friend and I are big music buffs when it comes to soundtracks and all that, so I want to go over my thoughts with him first and then I'll write up something refined.

I don't think that though. I don't care if you like it or not. I'm not talking about personal taste. Okay whatever. I don't mean the music. You can definitely like the music in other games better because some songs are just REALLY good in the other games. There are plenty of songs I like better in other games, I just mean that they way the songs in Echoes are written, the way they're constructed is better. They have a really good central style/theme that allows for more song diversity and they utilize more musical techniques, unusual chords (especially with some of the vocals) and real instruments. I don't want people to confuse me saying that the composition being better means the songs are better in terms of personal taste. Composition can be objectively better, personal taste is just whatever you like. I could care less if you hate the music in the game and if you like all of the Sacred Stones soundtrack over it. My entire point was just that yet again, the songs are simply written better. That's all I'm saying.

First off, the way you wrote that is as if you're speaking to a child, which honestly irritates me. Secondly, I'm not...? I think I'd have written differently if that's what I was trying to do. I have reread my initial post. I'm really not sure what you're referring to. EDIT: Regardless, it's not my intention. I can't help it if you interpret what I say the way you do, though. When it comes to composition, all you need is a good ear (And maybe a class or two about music comp.). I can't stress that enough. It really is easy to tell. Sorry if you disagree, but I'm standing by this regardless. :/

Is this about the composition thing? Because if it is, the composition is still better than all the other titles in the series. You don't need to like it, but it is better. Also, if you don't want to be that person, then don't? :p (And yes I'm aware) EDIT: Sorry if I come off as a dick, I'm not in the greatest mood atm.

You and me both. I love Saber's animation in specific, haha. I hope they retain this uniqueness throughout all their promotions, though I'm sure they will. :3

Honestly, I don't even know what Fates is in terms of the rn system. Since this is a remake for an older game, I'm assuming it's 1rn. I could always be wrong, of course.

Honestly I still can't get over how amazing the music is in this game. Like, I listened to every song and I loved every single one. I then proceeded to download them all onto my phone (though if they release the Soundtrack separately from the special editions, I'll totally buy it) and now I just listen to it when I'm working at school or whatever. All the songs are composed very well and the songs have a wonderful centralized style/theme. Even if you don't like the specific song, you have to admit that it's still a very well-made one. Initially, I thought Awakening had some of the best music in the entire series. Then Fates came out, and I thought that was even better than Awakening. Now Echoes is coming out, and I must say, it truly does trump every other game in terms of music. (And honestly art as well) The songs do an amazing job at delivering the mood that they're trying to convey, which is great. Oh, and the usage of real instruments was a very very nice touch. All the vocals are 10/10. It's just... they went all out in terms of music for this game and it shows. I kid you not, even if the gameplay isn't amazing and the story is only alright, the music and art will make it all up for me. That's how high in regard I hold all of this. Anyways, there's my long rant about the music (and some art) out of the way. Feel free to comment your thoughts on the soundtrack if you've listened to it, or maybe questions/other comments you'd like to ask/say. Here's to SoV having the best soundtrack in all of Fire Emblem! (At least from a stylized/composition standpoint)
