[Least Favorite FE game]

FE7... I don't know. It's just kind of bland and washed-out, to me, like its portraits.

 

[Least Favorite FE game]

The consistently least enjoyable for me is Binding Blade [Still haven’t played a remake or Kaga game yet]. I just felt like the game never did anything interesting and all of the maps felt more tedious than interesting at best. Or they were the shitty Gaiden Chapters. 

Also this is a very under-discussed aspect when it comes to Main Characters but Roy is probably the least challenged and most flawless protagonist when it comes to never coming across a roadblock in the story. Like seriously, he just got out of school and not only leads the army but is apparently already a flawless and selfless leader [Lance/Allen/Marcus supports, all available by chapter 1]. The closest thing to failure he encounters is letting Hector die which he had no influence on.

While there's an argument on which one is worse, this isn't the time or place for it.

(BTW, both are wrong, the answer is Kris - an avatar so bad that despite not being a main lord, he/she singlehandedly dropped FE12's writing like a stone)

Yeah Corrin might be an absymal character but they don’t literally steal away lines from other characters in a REMAKE

I mean if Fates brought back the Dark Flier from Awakening would Malig Knight make a return in the same vein?

The sentiment that SIgurd can "Solo" the game is incredibly misleading though. To get through the encounter with Eldigan and then all mages from chapter 4 onwards + not get hit with the sleep staff requires an incredible amount of either RNG manipulation or luck. 

When I meant solo I really meant Sigurd doing the bulk of the work with everyone just supporting Sigurd as he takes care of anything remotely threatening. Not a true solo, but Sigurd trivializes so much of the game by existing.

[Chaz's 5 Reasons Not to Play FE4 (and my reactions to them)]

It was a visually stunning video honestly but I could tell he was severely underselling Sigurd being the god of gen 1. It is a very fair point to bring up how many people can be deployed in FE4 at one point when discussing good and bad units, and making a case for Holy Blood units being narrative integration for the game but still Sigurd is undisputedly so good and can easily solo when everything great falls into his hands.

Hero confirmed to be male only (why?). The other class names are as we anticipated: Fortress, Paladin, Grappler, Warlock, and Bishop.

When FE6 manages to be more diverse than FE16. Also, I'm very mildly annoyed by the gender lock classes after Fates basically went out of its way to completely abolish it outside of priest/priestess and maid/butler changes. For a game about customization I hope this doesn't end up limiting us too much at times.

Archers aren't nearly as bad as they're made out to be and Kent is not a boring character

I mean it really really depends on the game, in FE7 they're basically trash (Louise as the best archer is solid but not as good as a lot of other units at that point) but in Fates, for example, they're pretty good with all the unique types of bows. Also FE6 deserves a shoutout for the scary Wyverns and how Archers are very helpful for that Chapter 7 early on.  Oh yeah and Virion is complete trash in Awakening too.

Kent is a bit Vanilla but Vanilla is alright sometimes. Fiora and Kent unironically have one of my favorite supports in the series, the perfect amount of Meta about supports.

I'm just gonna say fates's story isn't terrible? Like I mean it's bad but it's not as bad as people say it is cause honestly I think people look at fate's story the wrong way. Hell Right now I'd go so far as to say it's a better story than SoV. Not by much mind you but I still feel that way. Then again It's been a while since I've truly sunk my teeth into fates's story and a lot of this coming from memory and passing thoughts about the various plot points of the game but yeah. I appreciate fates's story for what it was trying to do is what I'm trying to say here cause essentially it's just persona 4's story but worse

Basically, Fates and its story is a lot like Camilla, there's actually interesting stuff there despite what others say but try not to forget they quite literally have you run into her boobs.

Well first post here, might as well start off saying something dumb. I also want to see if I made my profile correctly.

Binding Blade is the most thoroughly mediocre FE game that doesn't do anything interesting and tells its story incredibly blandly with the main character that only is the main character because his dad was too sick to do it and proceeds to be out charisma'd by the entire cast. Sure other games in the series are more flawed but those flaws are worth discussing but Binding Blade has nothing going for it outside of introducing the support system which is implemented in an abysmal manner which you're not even likely to get more than a few snippets of a conversation over a playthrough without a conscious effort and then you get 1 full conversation per character at best. Sure this problem exists in other FE games but they're especially slow in FE6.

Oh and Berkut is a bad villain because they can't decide if he's supposed to be sympathetic or detestable.
