So I had this whole thing written up, and I just deleted it. Because why bother? The bottom line is nothing has changed here and so I am angry with myself for wasting my time.

Because the majority of the games have a difficult end-game chapter or two where even your uber units are going to be in genuine danger if you don't have strategy behind your movements and army formations. Not all of them, certainly, but most of them. It's entirely possible to use nothing but, swordmasters end-game for Radiant Dawn, but I sorta kinda really like having a couple marksman and mages along for the help that they bring.Do you really have fun using Caineghis, Tibarn, Naesalla and Nailah every playthrough? Of course a lot of characters "might want it," hence the reason for there being multiple units in a game where you only need a handful to actual do anything serious. Saying a unit is bad but having the option to fix those units in a way that is constructive and powerful makes them a viable option for beating the game.I rather enjoy beating the game focusing on different units every time. It adds to the depth of the game, for me. I get more out of discussing how to make an at-first-glance bad unit into something powerful than taking say FE9's Titania into every stage and letting her wreck things without it ever being a challenge. And I know you agree that it's satisfying to take an otherwise weak unit into godhood and have them rupture faces. Claiming otherwise means you've changed your opinion on that or you're just playing devil's advocate. But if that guy went through the game a few times and that unit turns out awesome for them every time, then you know what? I bet they're going to like that unit, and suggest using that unit to other people in an attempt for other people to get the same fun and satisfaction they did while going through the game. Are you really going to drop in another topic to argue on because I didn't include the words "for me" after fun? Seriously? I figured it went unsaid. No. Yet again, I only bothered to check this thread while I was here because Lyle left a comment on my page and I was curious to see what else had been said. And it's not "HURR HURR I AM OLDER THAN YOU AND THEREFORE MORE WISE", it's more I'm just ever so slightly in a different age group so my interests tend to be just that much different from the general population. It's purely on my end and one of the reasons, for me, that I feel out of place. I'm not saying there aren't younger people that I still get along with and quite enjoy talking to; it is purely a general ideology difference that I have with the people here. I don't give a shit if it matters to you. Your collective opinions don't matter to me when it comes to something tangible that I see and feel, even if I'm unable to eloquently describe it. Maybe another issue I have with Fire Emblem fanboys in general is that the community isn't constructive towards each other. No one submits their ideas on "the best strategy" in an attempt to genuinely help someone; its mostly to poke at another guy who likes and values different units than them. I'm as guilty of that as anyone in the past. Time away has let me see that a little more clearly, so I don't want to be that guy anymore. So are we done here now or are more people going to continue to throw insults at me like that's a reason for me to want to stay?
