FtP - Free to Play PtW - Pay to win PtF - ???

In the end I would say there is no point of NOT merging unit... well unless someone has great ambition of getting every single character in game to 5*. You either invest into unit you are using/want use or into unit you, well... don't.

So you think people capable spending thousand dolars on FEH can afford it without working hard? People who work hard in RL can take it easy in game (or not that's up to them). People who don't work hard in RL have no choice but grind and brag about being F2P.

We need pain as concept, but we don't need be in pain. If we feel pain it means something is wrong, if we don't it means everything is alright. There is no point being in pain over mobile game. In first place why do you consider playing mobile game worthwile as long as it's for free? Regardless whether you pay or not it isn't "productive" way spending your time either way. You should go feed children in Africa or something instead if you look for valuable experience.

I don't consider myself whale, but I do spend money on FEH and I never regreted. My most reliable units units are fully made from (originally) 3 and 4 stars I raised promoted, merged. By paying I didn't loose any of perks F2P get, but on top of that I can admire full set of Lyns and Hectors which is "my reward", if I didn't pay I wouldn't have them and I know I would be GREATLY bothered by it. If money wouldn't be able buy even peace of mind what good they would be and what is more valuable then that? So will you still say that I would be happier if I didn't spent money on "mere" mobile game? That's not up to you decide though. Every invidual have their own priorities. F2P and P2W are both equally valid approaches to FEH any other game of this kind. So you really need deal that this is "each of their own" case. In the end it's not any different then buying book, movie or any other kind of entertainment..

You should just say that first! I guess these are good reasons for them appear around 3.0. While I think they could be easily implemented without any major change of mechanics, It's still big event suitable for new version.

As far as we know IS could as well work on Laguz for year and half without single break already and maybe they just finished yesterday (that's just example of course). It's not like IS report us their progress on projects do they? Well, while I agree there might be issues that need (or needed, because as I said everthing could be already solved) to be adressed, I think some points are clearly set in current game mechanics. Red Laguz would be weak against Lances and blue tomes. That's perfectly logical. They would indeed transform for battle (unless IS really feel need to do some super special, which is not necessary but they are free do so if they want) and of course there is no reason why they would target anything else but defense (Dragon laguz would be simply count dragons instead anyway).

Out of curiosity, what kind of work, you think, IS still needs do so they can implement Laguz units? And in what way it's more complicated then dragons or colorless bows?

-Y!Stiki and A!Stiki going by ancient tradition (also it sound funny to me) -Bluemilla sound good to me -Flykumi? -Slinde is fine too

What value is making your character stronger? Well, they get stronger and Stronger unit have easier time to clear game content. Well there is obviously more to it then just that. Some unit simply appreciate more stats then others. Especially units who fall behind due having "Balanced stats" are gimped into lighting bruisers. Fragile speedsters (like Nino) can avoid getting one-shoted. Dancers who are week, became usable in actual combat ect, ect. Natures: Some are crippling, so it's better merge into better so you don't loose all effort building it, starting from scratch. Special projects: These sometime require it. I got -atk Brave Roy which is not exactly great... so I just decided make better one from lot of Eliwoods :D. Then there is my +10 Cecilia who can excelently use Blade+Close Counter+Vantage and is practicaly unstoppable. She wouldn't work that well without bulk she get from merges. There are no limits to imagination. Some unit are just too good to not merge. Units like Nowi, Caeda, Masked Marth or Reinhardt, these are units you would use for very long time. So any investment into such units will pay of in long run. In the end it's better invest into unit that are useful then give golden glow to random bench warming proffesionals. Easier inheritance: Units that use expensive skills (like Aether/Galeforce/refinable legendary weapons...) or such where you want more alternatives for slot can make great use of merging as new copy can once again level from 1 to 40 and thus learn skills that "main unit" don't have yet. Yep, that should be about it.

I am quite happy I get another Martha. My TT rewards usually doesn't see much use once trials end and I feel bad using limited characters as fodder, so they just laze around in my barracks. Marth in other hand is excelent healer as well as fighter. Merging all her into super Marth is certainly on my list to do. Unfortunatelly I will gonna use flyier emblem this time as my Caeda is in dire need of SP.

I thought so. I just hoped to make you sound like having good sense for humor rather then being plainly wrong and this is how you pay me back for my consideration...

Team Sigurd, for support I decided go with boring but practical +5 Reinbow. For those interested ID: 346 109 3199

I am almost sure there wasn't even single person who would "freak their mind" (or even expressed mild annoyance) because idea of male pegasus knight. Are you sure you didn't jump to conslucsion somewhere along to way? Sorry to tell you that but your witch to be burned is in another castle.

if 3H was sold as four individual games, I would say that would be problem in its own right.

So these words are related (sort of) after all. I did thought it could be fun if Dauntless Lace was blue version of Amiti...

I assume Bravery part is written differently from "Brave" weapons, isn't it?

I definitely think there will be infighting among lords and routes will split because of that, but I don't see more then two routes. Fates couldn't do it properly even with three games after all.

Again tell me where I said pegasi can't carry males? All I said that it makes sense for it dominated by females and that potential male knights should have light slim physique. Again game itself make obvious pegasi are not good with heavy burdens, that's not "real world logic" (which s same as that of fantasy world anyway, because logic is logic regardless where it's used), but fact affirmed by FE itself. Caeda si fine because she is badass, she would be all the same in real world. What exactly is supposed be relation between her kicking assess and her being in fantasy world anyway? She has no super power, nor she use magic as far as I can remember.

Are you backtracking your own posts now? Having more maler PKs was never issue with me I even explicitly said it would be fun, remember? What I did have isssue with was you calling reason behind this class sexistic and deciding it should be unisex for sake of diversity. Also I don't know about single opponent Caeda fought in FE she wouldn't be able theoretically fight in RL, which includes dragons. What's more I never said pegasi can't carry males, I just stated why it's more practical for it not being case. Even in fantasy worlds exist physics, gravity, momentum and practically everything else. Magic can bypass it, sure, but in FE case it was never even implied pegasi are magical creature. It's just treated as winged horse. Did you ever look on their stat in games where Con is thing? Pegasi are not good carrying heavy burdens, if they do they get huge penalties. That's why PKs are mainly female and Wywern riders unisex

Yeah, no. There is no sexist tradition in fire emblem. Females kick asses for decades already, starting with Caeda. This is your regular witch hunt, which always end with innocent burned on stake in name of '"social justice". And support that is nothing but about making yourself feel good about yourself how just and upright you are.

It's you who makes it sexist. Pegasi are winged horses. Did you ever see jockeys? They are always small and light and yes horse can carry heavy burdens, but if you expect high perfomance in battle, lighter rider is obviously better. And yes it's also for aesthetic reasons, but that doesn't change rather obvious reasons that can be applied on story. In first place don't fix what isn't broken. Fire emblem have lot of archetypes and habbits codified in it over decades of it's existence. It's fine experiment here and there or even break rules for more fun, but discarding traditions just to comform some kind of "social agendas"wannabe would just ruin game. Male pegasi knigh? Sure. Gay/Lesbian lord? Fine with me (just don't make everyone bi so they can marry. That would be stupid). Oh you wanna black/hispanic character, why I should care? Everything is fine just don't try make it sound like it need to be there or that game is worse without it. As for Wywern riders. They are flyings tanks, when pegasi are fragile speedsters. Why you don't give thought of difference between both animals first before you make argument that doesn't make any sense.

Reinhardt: "Magic is EVERYTHING... except swords. These are cool too." Hector: "ARMADS IS EVERYTHING"

To be fair, FEH doesn't make as many alts of single character as FGO And how do you know she doesn't do it at this very moment?

Got Lector in 30 orbs (+HP/-Spd), that's practically second best boon? With 26 res he seems practically unkillable even by red mages. Anyway I hope we will get another Hector after CYL to complete my ultimale shipping fantasy. Can you imagine five Lyns being paired with five Hectors? Probably only Lucina x Robin could do something similiar, but she is not lesbian so it wouldn't count.
