New Mystery and Radiant Dawn are the biggest if I remember correctly... Are you talking about setting the whole armies (all recruitable characters in the game) against each other and seeing what would happen or just asking which game can get the most optimized army?

I think this is my ideal Fates also (although I think I'd let the rout split go a little farther). One thing I think would also help is making some of the siblings route-exclusive.

Revelations had a chance to create a path that was actually the hard but correct choice. Going into that route, I was prepared to get no siblings and muddle through with limited resources. Instead they just hand you EVERYONE and it's so contrived. ... It's still my favorite path.

I'm not worried about it contradicting the cannon, I'm worried about it SINKING MY SHIP!! Same.

Worst Ending: "The fires of war had illuminated the dark recesses of Zeke's memory. But he loved Tatiana too much to burden her with his tortuous past, so he chose to bear it in silence as they lived out their lives together." Best Ending: "The loss of Tatiana, the woman who had loved him deeply and unconditionally, shook Zeke with grief. He abruptly vanished from Valentia shortly after the war ended, and while some claim to have sighted him in Archanea, none of those sightings were confirmed." ^Just saying...^ Beyond that, Ike just abandoning Tellius is stupid as are most of the disappeared forever endings. Kellam takes the cake though. As for favorites, basically every ending in Sacred Stones. I am racking my brain to come up with an actually bad ending in that game and I just can't think of one. Shout-outs to these Eirika and Seth for being beautiful and Ephriam and Myrrh. I really like platonic endings like that one. It's just such a sweet ending (even though I usually pair Ephraim with Tana). I'm also partial to any endings with Red-Green knights together.

Classes canceled for snow today, so I thought it'd be fun to ask what you guys do when there's snow??

So how's the playthrough going??

Roger.

#RallyMarth Just found it lol. And, ouch. But as long as we get a Brave Marth, It's worth it. And then next time, I can spread it out :)

Spread the love?? Naaaahhhhhh

I just do not get why some of these characters are popular. I know that fanservice is a thing for a reason, but SURELY everybody can tell those designs are absurd. I showed the Camilla Birthright cutscene to a few of my male friends and they agreed that it was just uncomfortable. Seriously, who likes this stuff? And Loki.... jeez... just... why. I mean, I know why.... But WHYYYYYYYYYYY

I feel :\ I can honestly accept a lot of fanservice--I get that they're appealing to their demographic, but it's still obnoxious to have the screen suddenly filled with boobs every time there's a cut in. The gender divide has always been there, but Fire Emblem's waifu culture obviously got big with Awakening and Heroes hasn't helped things... Frustrating to say the least.

Have you tried messing with the display settings under Config? That might help... Otherwise, I'm not sure if there's a way to make it run faster :P

Shadow Dragon's bad reputation largely comes from being basically just a graphically improved port of the SNES games. That means 15+ year old map design, story, characters, ect. Following Radiant Dawn didn't help it's reputation either. I think that impression has started to wear off though. Personally Shadow Dragon and New Mystery (FE11 and 12) are my favorites in the series for their straight-forward simplicity. Lots of charm.

I've had it lag a lot before too, but it's usually when I don't have my laptop plugged in :\ And plugging it in fixed things. I've heard that's a general problem with Windows 10 though, so probably not what you're looking for... What kind of computer are you running?

DeSmuMe is what I use. The official site is the first thing to pop up when you google it. Enjoy FE12, it's super fun!!

While I know it's wrong.... I still say Kay-da because I think it sounds nicer :P Screw the canon!!! Ar-kay-nee-uh ftw!

Fair enough.

Eh, I understand why a lot of those are in there. Heroes likes its archetypes, so any red-green knight pair or peg sisters had a good chance at showing up. On that note, a lot of Shadow Dragon/Mystery of the Emblem characters are in there period, maybe to show off the original game's characters or maybe because all the archetypes are in some ways based off them. Popular or not, Julia and Deirdre are main characters, so they were sure to get a spot eventually. And all the young, handsome, tragic bosses are perfect for Heroes antagonists, so they all fit. The New Mystery characters make sense too because there aren't that many characters from strictly New Mystery, they pulled the ones with memorable designs and called it good. On Seigbert, it was a matter of time before Fates children crept their way into the game. Which leaves: 555 Bartre (Binding) 470 Klein 371 Hawkeye 310 Gwendolyn And I don't understand any of those. Maybe Gwendoln for just another female armor unit and dare I say Bartre for the meme? As far as characters I wish we didn't have, just fewer Fates characters in general. I honestly didn't hate Fates but everybody knows the characters were very one-note, and there are just gobs of them in Heroes clogging up my summons. :( Probably the same can be said for Shadow Dragon/Mystery characters, but I happen to love those games so.....

I run mGBA on my PC and it works pretty well, but honestly there are TONS of good emulators for PC. A google search will give you plenty of options. On my phone (an android) I have myBoyAdvance. The free version is totally serviceable, and it's fun to play an FE on your phone that is not Heroes :D

Same! I want my Brave Marth, damnit! I wonder how they'll do the outfits this time? With Ike, Roy, and Lucina in the top 4 last time, I think the fatherhood theme was a pretty easy direction, but depending on who wins this time, it could be a little harder...

Everything from Por and RD Almost everything from Fates "The mathah walks wath mah" - Silque SoV That's all I've got right now

I love FE 12's endgame. The absolute onslaught of dragons and the thing with the clerics plus a great chapter theme make it my favorite. I like RD's last map too. Definitely different from other final maps in the series. But this...

Any chance you'd consider posting a script somewhere? It looks awesome...

I agree with this post on all counts.
