I am surprised I am not seeing more Est like characters showing up in this thread, but it is nice that the original is getting a bit of love in here. Also you might be thinking of how Abel marries Est between Shadow Dragon and Mystery of the Emblem, although thing don't end up going all that well for the couple.
face adversity against all odds, correct? how many in a cadre? what is fire emblem all about, from the original? don't let the unit you fall in love with: die
i guess Abel is Camus as Est is to the Lance. or are you from the Lamia squadron, haha, i hate to say it: the snake in the grass going for the throat of what should be called a..Regulum? or Genealogy
i bet your name is a shoutout to Eldigan. in indignation you shake your head? why i say Eltoshan, is beyond me, right. as you look at my Member Badge, one more time

I'd say Lang scores a lot of points. He's an overly evil douchebag, but in a role and position where he's exactly what he's supposed to be. Lang's meant to be so evil that it shows how far Hardin has fallen, and be powerful enough to be an early game antagonist. In both aspects he succeeds. I think the key aspect to his success is that unlike many villains who hold this role Lang is never depicted as incompetent, allowing him to be a serious threat.
Hardin's betrayal itself was truly heartwrenching. on squad names, timings of cavalier reinforcements and story: his entrance & subsequent backing really made that arc of Book 1 go smoothly iirc
a comparison between OP's Lamia example and the "Coyote" or "Wolf" ? squadron comes to mind

Lets start with one that I am probably the only person that has ever cared about them, the minor villain from Genealogy of the Holy War's chapter 4, the mercenary leader Lamia. The vicious leader of an all female mercenary band (the game even brings out all the obscure female enemy sprites just for her little band), famed for their ruthlessness, and being one of the few minor bosses with a unique face sprite (although it is speculated that it might have originally been planned as a face used for a younger Queen Hilda...). She is just plain cool for such a minor villain.
Moving onto generation 2, I have a soft spot for the substitute unit Asaello, the hitman of Connacht. With such a title, one may think I am fawning over minor villains again, but this hitman takes such an ignoble path to help feed the orphans that he grew up with, and has always had a soft spot for children. As someone who also has a soft spot for children, I can kinda relate to the guy. It is a down right a shame that he was cut from Thracia 776, as he would have fit in there perfectly, but they didn't want to imply too much about Thracia 776's continuity by including the replacements...
Next comes a hero from Thracia 776 with Miranda, and with her being the princess of Alster with a noticeable impact on the plot it might seem like a bit of a cheat, but she is not only exclusive to the least popular route of Thracia 776, but also generally considered a difficult to use unit, and much as it pains me to say it, she is. Really she shouldn't be an optional character, as she makes Leif's disastrous attack on Alster make so much more sense. She has a lot of fun spunk to go with her fiery magic, although it is really tough to get her off the ground.
Another Thracia unit, its time to talk about the oft overshadowed Eda. Poor girl had to come with her top tier prepromoted brother Dean, so no one looks at this young dragon rider, but she is still a flier, and a cool little dragon rider, and I have trained her enough to see her become a powerhouse on her own. I kind of pity her really, she gets unfairly overshadowed by units Thracia showers with gifts, and she is constantly putting the feeling of other above her own, following her brother into exile, and in her ending sacrificing her joy to help Altena.
I am going to cheat a little here, as I would be remiss not to mention my love of the Triangle Attack of Ostia, the three great generals Bors, Barthe, and Gwendolyn. This poor trio always gets trash talked, with the dutiful Wendy oft called one of the worst units in Binding Blade, but they can combine their powers into the automatic hit and crit of a deadly Triangle attack. That isn't to dismiss the over protective big brother she looks up to so much, or that loyalist of knights Barthe. What can I say, its fun to setup the right positioning to maximize my number of triangle attacks, and the more restrictive movements of an armored knight just makes it all the more satisfying when you can setup multiple in a turn due to the extra planning needed.
In a very similar vein, I love New Mystery's Axey boy trio as well, with their silly names, and the jokes about people not being able to distinguish Cord and Bord, with ol' Barst as a bit of an outlier. There the lack of the rescue command adds a whole new layer of difficulty to the setup for them to make thing all the more fun, and they hit some impressive benchamarks with the triangle attack as well.
Time for another trio, as I like all the units you recruit in Blazing Blade's Kinship's Bond. I rather like dragon riders, and that split haired Heath was the first one I ever got the chance to use. As for Rath, the quite horse archer that defies discrimination is an interesting mix that appeals to me. Finally a quick word on Isadora, but it always felt a bit funny that she felt more like a friend of Eliwood's mom than him, and discovering her fiance latter in the game was an interesting detail to stumble upon. I know I am rushing a bit here, but I have been rambling on way too long already.
I think I will jump ahead a few games before getting to New Mystery of the Emblem, with another edge case here, of my little prince, Yubello. A bit of a cheat again as he would be royalty if emperor Marth didn't take all the crowns for himself at the end of New Mystery. He is just my little boy, who can be the best mage he wants to be, and I care about my little boy far too much not to mention him a fair bit here.
i see we have similar "generational" FE tastes..it must be the fates. jk i havent played that one
regardless, lamia, i do not recall the name specifically but i
1. remember that squad (and udderly destroying them)
2. respect that you started with a woman from FE4, as the emphasis is on.."generational conflict" and "optimal pairings"
because i would have started with Ayra (Aira?) as she and Eyvel (also insinuated to be Briggid) are in my opinion: "single mothers tryna make it." they are introduced as protectors, as opposed to the foil of "damsel in distress" Deirdre(s) and Lachesis(es) that occur throughout FE. it started with Navarre and the Dancer trope, played in reverse
which brings me to the characters in the next installment: Miranda + Eda. i agree with both because i fielded both as part of "playing for the season" benching and unbenching within same class. but in terms of minor charactual impact i like Lara the most from 776. dancer turned thief turned dancer and no one appreciates her enough for it except maybe a King of thieves we like to call a Pahn. this is where i shut up and pay IS more money for feeding my Sword Skill Satisfaction Rating; thank you for yet ANOTHER Navarre and the Dancer, played in triple 777 (in a game where im playing for the season, we won the championship in a halfstep of overtime. 1 step, 2 step, dance)
regarding the Blade installments i had a switch up to riders on the ground. respected the loyalty of Lance (a throwback to Fin?) throughout his support conversations and resonated with the sussy bakaness of Sain through his ability to Deep Six like a Navy SEAL and make it out alive (and flirt while doing it.) however, i have to note that i compared both to Camus & Eltoshan, two major characters in the same vein, although from different generations. it would be difficult, however, in my opinion, to find worthy comparisons to "the most able man on the continent" and the wielder of the darkest, demonic holy weapon
for riders in the sky, i have a soft spot for Est as i actually trained her against all advice. really needed to know what the triangle combo was about on my first playthrough of my first FE. in addition, i remember that either her or her sisters having some drama with Abel & Cain. by comparison, the royal family of Minerva & Michalis was Always Sunny, I'm Sure
as far as favourite minor character of all FE goes though, mentioned here a few times, it is in fact: Navarre. the name itself holds special meaning for me and everytime we find him, he's doing the vigilante thing. he just cant stop, won't stop

I'm guessing that this is going to be a great big "nope", but I figure I may as well ask just to be sure. Is there any way to hide other users' profile pictures? There are a few people on this site with pics that I'd really rather not look at (specifically, those with animated gifs as profile pics, which have all sorts of accessibility issues). I know there are ways I can block these through my browser, but they are kinda awkward and it would be nice to have a native forum option.
this is a great idea, i agree with it. which leads me to a question..what do you think happened to the Member Badges for Everyone? are you able to see who other people choose as their (main) Lord or Lordess? it may be an important foundational question for your next native forum fix

trying out my own, would love opinions directly in the thread
as usual, 3 days and 3 nights, correct? and the battles in-between
based on - the Lords' desire to know their guiding hand (currently playing FE7)
influence - discussion within myself while playing about 2/3, triangles, and the wolves/foxes/lions we train(ed) with. "is it, or will it, be just enough to win?"
n0---
player: "who was he to you? the brother you lost"
leader: "he was an Outlaw..a Living Legend Amongst the Shooting Stars"n1---
player: "so. did he bring peace to the Empire?"
tactician: "ours..or theirs..and as an Envoy, i wonder this often as well"n3---
player: "anything, you know. before he died?"
strategist: "to me, he said 'i bring Death, for Sloane.' and i replied: i'm on my way" -

I think I only understood like ten percent of all that, but I can say with some confidence that the meta textual reason Eliwood got a horse and lance on promotion is because that's what he had in Binding Blade.
i apologize for the incoherent, possibly long rant; thank you for reading
tl;dr - in a game where the war is never ending, why does the warrior wallace not just enjoy his promotion after his demotion? i must confess, i read the wiki on wallace

Rest in Peace for Akira Toriyama. I know that Toyotarou is currently working on Dragon Ball Super for the art part. But I don't know if they're going to continue Super Manga due to he's no longer around since he's been writing the manga. But it makes me wondered the upcoming Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate and/or Dragon Quest III HD 2.5D Remake is going to be marked as the last game projects that Akira Toriyama worked on as an artist before his death happened in the Dragon Quest franchise since we know that he's been involved with the Dragon Quest franchise art for around 30 years?
keep us posted, King
personally, i wonder if im itching to play Chrono Trigger or Fire Emblem right now and figure out some squad formations..or just for fun? watch some DBZ Abridged, idk
-
any opinions? i would look at tags to start..
i personally really like how they break the 4th wall with the dialogue of course to open; but then i start imagining conversations between my Tactician and the ArchSage himself. i often wonder if they planned it this way
currently on the chapter where we recruit Wallace and i had to look him up. didnt want to spoil myself (will most likely read the support conversations,) but was surprised to learn about how involved he was in House Caelin's introductory story to the strife within the Lycian League: racist undertones? country bumpkin vs city slicker? who's hot vs who's not in a game of pick my units anyway?
rightfully so, these are my emotional opinions on the choices Wallace makes..i confess i do not pick him up as a unit: but his timing is impeccable as always. some of these soldiers serve with the utmost distinction in deployment strategies we are simply thrown into, and have no reason to solve. so we rescue & recruit him in the chapters he introduces himself, of course, but we also want to know a bit more about this, IMHO, Wallace / Oswin archetype (an old man who still serves) - influenced by this post i once wrote
i realize i'm assuming a lot here, but what if FE7 is the "choose your own Lord" archetype game. we all get excited upon Lord (units that are normally chosen for us) promotion, correct?
Lord Eliwood receives a Lance & a Horse upon promoting..in my opinion, a reflection and a throwback to one of the strongest (main) Lords in the series: Sigurd from FE4. although they both chose to ride out in different ways, both results ended in war: one as a Rescue mission, the other as a Search party. Eliwood's "farm" after the game? i do not know yet, but hints have been given in certain ways already
Wallace's "farm"? he leaves it to go BACK to war. and he remembers his promotional medal this time..but why? i think its the retirement Lord Hausen of Caelin would promise to those in service to their realm under war (should Lycia have gone to war with Sacae over the "elopement" of a Caelin Princess?)
on the subject of elopement, my assumption is that Lord Hausen replied "this must mean she loves horses, so lets send some horses after her." knight commander vs sussy baka commander, right? another game of pick my units, but of course, on a micro scale. "we must protect my only kin" "your brother's too old" "you're the rightful heir (or is it..YOUR rightful heir) tee-hee~" all his confidants say, right
so the main question here concerning this war within the Lycian League, is why do these men such as Wallace / Oswin never receive the Lord's promotion we always want for them? i believe Wallace's impeccable timing of promotion & recruitment within the tutorial is this promotion we always wanted for one of the regulars. therefore, Lord Hausen's never-ending mission for Wallace, from what i know of him: "i know you're here for the girl. im here for the cadre" as a soldier would or is it "im here for the princess. i've always been here for the princess. so say we all" as a prince would

So I know a lot of people here share their work (such as art, writing pieces) so I figured that it would be better to ask for advice here than say, on Reddit (where there's a lot of unserious people or people that have no clue what they're saying).
I decided to start sharing my stuff, not only here but also on an instagram account (and possibly on more plataforms) and for that I was thinking of creating a new E-mail (sort of a profissional E-mail). I don't want it to be associated with my real life self (not that I'll post anything wrong or NSFW, is just that I'm a bit embarassed that my friends or acquitances might see it, or if I get a job and my boss/coworkers happen to google my name and see it, I'd rather be sorta incognito), but I've seen people saying that if you don't put your real life complete name on the e-mail adress and then it gets hacked, you might never have a chance of getting it back, or if someone stole my art or writing stuff and started to sell it then I'd have no way to claim it was mine on a lawsuit.
Even if the e-mail adress was my real name I'd not put my name on the account in any way, would use some other user name instead (you know, like most of these online artists), but still since the point of crating this new E-mail at all would be for "profissional" purpouses then I'd rather not have my name there either way because, well... I'd obviously be seen.
By profissional I don't mean an acual profissional e-mail (like one to be given to a real life boss or to deal with real life business), it's more like the e-mail I'd let there for people that liked my online work to contact me if they wanted and to discuss my "work" stuff. I say "work" because I don't plan on making money from it (at least from now and some more time, unless I decide to do some comission), the stuff I plan on posting will be mainly for entertainment purpouses (and possibly for a "porfolio" if someone ever wanted to have something to do with my projects or wanted to make colaborations with me and things of the sort, I'd still release any of these stuff under the alias though so that's not a problem).
So, for those of you that post writing pieces, art and the like (not divulgating your names as autors), did you ever have any problem for not disclosing your actual identities or names on the places you post? Or for not having your identities to be known? Or If I wanna be sorta incognito and have a pen name, I should still put my real name somewhere or sign my stuff in someway, or something like this?
howdy. im originally known around here as..well you all know my pen name if you know the website. right? so the real question is having the aspect of customizability..as long as you are creative about your "moniker" you may be creative about your "name holds meaning."
my e-mail? first name, last names initial, 0-4 more letters and the @ sign
mind if i shop myself real quick? see how i already am doing it: according to "quotebook cookbook" the best responses are the ones you can quote.
On 1/22/2024 at 6:55 PM, Polinym said:One small advantage of using an internet name over a real name is that if you wind up creating something that you get embarressed about, you can always jump ship, come up with a new name, cut your loses, and just move on.
Another big advantage of using an internet name is, if you pick some made-up or really obscure word(s) for your name, you can dominate the internet search results. Also gives you a leg up if you ever decide to use your name for something like a website URL, since it most likely won't be heavily contested.
You can get along for quite a long time using just a penname... 'course, when it comes to commercial ventures, you'll have to use your real name on the legal documents.
If you're worried about people stealing your artwork, don't be. There's plenty of creative ways you can watermark your creations so there'll be some tie to you. If you're just drawing copyrighted characters or using existing IP stuff (like say, a Fire Emblem fanfic), it shouldn't matter anyway since nobody can claim it for profit.
this explanation really sums up the vote i have for using a pen name. i'll leave y'all with a free quote from the book im involved in:
"some put pen to paper, others put blood to water"
if you understand, you understand. if you don't, you don't (hint: we're on a forum about a game with weapons in it.) therefore, the logical bibliography quote for the quote above is:
"the pen is mightier than the sword"
so a "moniker" student replies, "if tested by water itself, does it become ink? or blood? i believe this is the final question of the quote and how to let it cook" -
