Sayyyaka

I need as many copies of Roy as possible. And an Ike. Lyn has become a lower priority, though I need Kleins so I don't mind rolling colourless.

I'm still not sure how exactly I feel about Awakening, but I can say I did enjoy it. It's...like Disgaea, but not as Disgaea, I guess. Awakening feels free-form, which isn't that new to the series but it definitely took it up a notch by including limitless reclassing and grinding, which are things I normally enjoy, actually, but they aren't really what I look for in Fire Emblem. But if I were to play it as a normal FE then I would be ignoring those aspects of the game, which personally isn't something I like to do. If I'm going to play a game I want to do so all the way. Thus I've come to accept that there can be other types of FE, Awakening is merely the third of its type, and a natural evolution of its predecessors. This is only touching upon the structure of the game itself, as for the actual gameplay it feels like they just shoved in as many things as they could without any thought for why they were there. Which may as well be true, considering IntSys has said they wanted to make it a big final game where no regrets could be had...or something like that. But anyway, I don't feel like going over things like pairup which have already been bitched about a billion times. My main gripe, as petty as it may be, is that they shoved in the whole anima triangle and didn't even make them effective towards each other. I mean, I GUESS it's better than neutering magic as a whole and making it a single weapon type, but it still really bugs me. As for story..I honestly didn't care about it. I couldn't take any of the Plegians seriously, Emmeryn's everything felt dumb and forced, I forgot almost everything regarding Grima, and I ended up skipping everything in Valm. I think I only really paid attention to scenes involving Lucina. For all the shit she gets for being popular she isn't all that bad, which came as a surprise (I actually only played Awakening after Heroes came out). I found her to be quite endearing, it helps that I'm a sucker for any family stuff. Owain and Inigo are great too, their supports with their parents were really nice. Inigo in particular is my favourite Awakening character, and I'd say he's managed a spot as one of my favourite characters in the series. Funnily enough, that's also all I want to say about Awakening's characters... Awakening was decent.

In order of when I obtained them... Rolled: Lyn (+ATK/-HP), Lucina (+RES/-HP), Sheena (+HP/-DEF), MRobin (+ATK/-DEF), Elise (+HP/-DEF), Klein (+RES/-DEF), Chrom (+DEF/-SPD), 1st Ephraim (+RES/-SPD), Rebecca (+ATK/-DEF), Sakura (+SPD/-DEF), Spring Xander (+HP/-DEF), 2nd Roy (???/???), Azura (+DEF/-HP), 1st Ryoma (+RES/-SPD), 2nd Ryoma (+HP/-RES) Julia (+SPD/-DEF), Soren (+DEF/-SPD), 2nd Ephraim (+ATK/-SPD), Boey (+DEF/-RES), Mae (+RES/-DEF), 1st Summer Xander (+DEF/-RES), Amelia (+DEF/-RES), Nino (+SPD/-DEF), 2nd Summer Xander (+DEF/-ATK) Promoted: Fae (-SPD/+HP), Cecilia, Sophia, 1st Roy (+SPD/-RES), Camus, Reinhardt (+ATK/-SPD), Xander, 1st Clive, Shanna (+ATK/-HP), Zephiel Free (TT, CYL): Tobin, 2nd Clive, CYL Roy Sacrificed: Takumi, Roderick Merged: 2nd Ryoma, 1st Roy, 2nd Ephraim, 1st Clive Total rolled: 28 | Overall total: 41

They all look so damn good. Obviously picking Roy, and will be rolling for extra copies for merging. Initially, I wanted Lyn right after Roy but Ike's art has really grown on me. Both of the guys wearing their fathers' outfits is so nice. All I know is that I'm definitely pouring my all into this. @Zangetsu The main reason people say that is because a lot of the 3*s and 4*s you'll be getting aren't very great, for me Klein is the only good skill fodder in colourless (and I'm definitely not sacrificing my 5* Klein), meanwhile blues have plenty of decent units you may want to 5* in the future or use as skill fodder. It's all up to your situation, really.

Picking Roy, rolling for Roy. Need to get an Elidad + Roy thing going on. All look great though and I want all of them.

Pretty much, yeah. I was very afraid Valter would be axe'd. Not sure if I prefer Cursed Lance over Spear however, though I'm tired of distant counter on everything and Cursed Lance is really good. Hopefully this is a sign of more SS exposure, I'd love to see Duessel in the game.

I'm actually happier that we have Valter. Lyon is pretty much a must, he'd happen eventually. But they could've delayed Valter for a long while. Plus we finally know that wyverns don't always have to be axe users. Poor Narcian.

Got him in 3 rolls. This happened in Spring too, I guess Xander really likes me. I'll still be trying to get the rest though, the great thing about these summer focuses is that they last over a month.

It's a Hammer.

I'm beyond excited.

Egotistic asshole turns out mediocre. I'm satisfied.

I'm always up for a chance to kill Berkut.

Very hyped for all these sword users!

6/8~6/22 I really hope this is replacing the gauntlet. I hesitate to even call that an "event". Hopefully the trials are really difficult. Also Masked "Marth"! Slightly disappointed it wasn't Veronica BUT, this is cool too. And it seems the rewards aren't determined by ranking, which is great. I have high hopes.

Inigo for sure. He's like Sain but not completely one-note.

Well you could say that the Conservatives were given more of a chance with Conquest anyway.

Doesn't look that bad when laid out like this. If Merric, Camus, Samson, Owain and Kaze got in I'd be pretty excited. I think Bolt Axe Lissa is a possibility if they feel the need to get more variety. Owain and Lissa fighting together is the thing of dreams.

I'd only give him QR if you aren't running a cav team. With Fury 3 and cav buffs he'll reach 42, which is more than enough for most units. Vantage comes in handy far more often in that case.

Just got to Camus's, I'd say I like ones like his where they just state that they consider you an ally or friend over ones where they start loving you or something. Feels like the latter gets forced on you.

That was kind of fun, didn't have anyone to tank that point so I used Ryoma and he Vantaged everything. Cecilia one-shotted poor Camus. Now I'm not sure which to train. 4* to 5* should give enough SP, right?

I don't see why not. Personally I'm disappointed Warriors won't be expanding on the Heroes setting. You can definitely expect the new lords in Heroes though, I hope it's the same for Alfonse/Sharena/Anna in Warriors.

It's been almost about a week since I've finished it, so I guess now would be a good time to get my opinion out. Boey is probably my favourite character, with Lukas right behind. Maybe it's just because he looks like a certain red archer from another series, but I really enjoyed him, and love his interactions with Mae. I genuinely felt happy reading their endings together, which actually doesn't happen often with me. I've been giving him a lot of favoritism on my second run. Really sad I didn't get him in Heroes. In the end, my least favourite has to be Clive. Which saddens me because I liked his design the best at first, he looked really nice and proper. Very refreshing after the boring designs of Cavaliers in the last two games. I loved his support with Mathilda, but otherwise I find him to be awful. Doesn't bother telling anyone about his suspicions of Alm, tells Alm not to even bother with Delthea, other things I'm too lazy to remember. He just came across as really cowardly compared to others like Lukas. Maybe I'm comparing him too much, but he really didn't manage to get on my good side, where even characters I didn't care for initially (Python and Clair) did.

Cecilia is probably my most used, not HM grinded unit.

About damn time.

It doesn't have to be all protagonists. They could be more selective in regards to playstyle while still having proper representation for each game. However, that would require actual thought, it also wouldn't make them any money.
