  1. But the five base move and the extra three they lose traversing forests is agonising. It stands out all the worse in a game that gives you three pegasus knights and a paladin all back to back. Once the two dracoknight chapters have been dealt with I find it hard to justify Gordin over most other units I'll have at that point.

    "Good for an archer" isn't good enough in when the rest of the competition is as fierce as it is in Book II.

    To his credit, I'd say Gordin is better in the remake, where Steel Bow chip is more valuable on the higher difficulties and its harder hitting enemies.

  2. 1 minute ago, Thane said:

    Isn't that because of Crest stones rather than Flayn's blood, however? 

    Spoiler

    The demonic dragons have artifical Crest Stones, which I assume were created by the Agarthans. It's not specified how these are made, at least on the GD route. I imagine they needed a "sample" of the real thing in order to create them. Perhaps that's what Flayn's blood was for. I don't ever recall seeing them before Flayn's kidnapping, which again I take as evidence of a link.

    Again, that's my conclusion based on what I've seen.

     

  3. Spoilers for GD and Marianne's paralogue.

    Spoiler

    My best guess is that they used Flayn's blood to turn people into those demonic dragons for the Empire.

    Miklan was transformed by a Crest Stone (the heart of a dragon), and Maurice was transformed by the power of his own Crest; it's not a huge leap to say that dragon's blood could be used the same way.

    I believe Solon used her blood in the experiements in Remire village.Then in the next chapter we see demonic beasts who are in fact students who'd been transformed. After that we see them regularly with the Empire and Agarthans. I think those who things were intentionally linked to show an escalation from beserk state to transformation to military deployment.

    I might have miss interpreted something though.

  4. It's because Archers are probably the worst class in GBA Emblem, if not the entire series. This is made even worse in FE7 because effective weapons only have double might as opposed to the triple they usually get, so Rebecca's not even that good at killing flyers. She cannot compete with anyone who use Javelins, Hand Axes, or magic.

    Add onto this the general backlash against Waifuism. Because she's a cute girl she gets popularly points from some for the whole "waifu" factor. Others push against that resulting in the apparent hate for the character. It's not dissimilar to how parts of the fandom turned again Lyn, execpt Rebecca is even worse of a unit than her.

  5. Looks like France vs Croatia now.

    I'm not that concerned with England winning, it's just good to know we do better without the Shrek lookalike. But I have to admit the sour reactions would be sweet if we did win.

  6. My home internet is down for a while, so I’ll be posting from my iPad for the foreseeable future. Now for something different to Fire Emblem. It’s Giovanni.

    I actually have another piece done already, which I should hopefully upload soon.

  7. Is advocating genocide something someone should be allowed to walk away from so easily?

    I for one do not admire his "desire to help", which in reality is a manifestation of his greed and egotism. The way he talks like he has some special perspective, his harping on about evil. Absolutely delusional. It is attitudes like his that cause excessive suffering in the first place.
