yeah they rip me but then I came back last year and nobody knows me : D that's not cute

You guys have all made really nice responses, and I agree with most of them. I am well aware all of "fanservice" isn't sexuality, but I think I've made it clear that it was what I was referring to. I also don't think a little bit is really all that bad, like in the case of the beach DLC in Awakening. Seems fairly tame, and I really enjoy Awakening as a whole (even if it started upping this "fanservice" trend).

oh, hey chen yeah I got banned at one point before my 10th anniversary ps: CUTE CUTE CUTE

i never had sex but im already tired of it i just want to literally just hold hands and sit on a bench by a sunset

I don't understand your false sense of apparent concern about the topic, however.

hi furechan I commented on your profile n___N

It's stupid and it makes it difficult to take your characters, and your story seriously. It reeks of being insecure about your story that you need to whore off your characters just for a few bucks. And there's a difference between someone being sexually attracted to your characters and genuinely appreciating them. There's a reason why they're referred to as our "lower senses".

i wanted midoriko ),:

Like when someone calls you something you know you aren't, but it still you. It bothers me, particularly. Like, they say you're bad at something, and you know you're good, but precisely because you're not, it bothers you. In what scenario is it supposed to not bother me. Noise is noise. It's annoying.

okay but is the fish an "axe" or a "sword"

jajjajjajaajajaj this sounds like a hilarious challenge But do you really consider them all attractive? There's a difference between something you find genuinely attractive and "eh, they're cute, I guess". Like, Titania is alright, but her in-game mug doesn't do her much favour. Someone like Meg is cute, but it's not like I find her attractive like, say, Ilyana for example.

Something about the face or hair (maybe the hair colour?) feels a bit awkward, but the rest of it looks like a real thing.

Danved for...whatever else there is that isn't Wishblade. damn dude you're really going off

@Relytive It's not exaggerated at all. It's really that hard to train that many characters in HM. In things like NM, it's far, far easier to do it. And I mentioned an example where I was going pretty slow and I didn't get a single one of them to lvl.20 as of yet (granted, I'm not using Jill).

She's not that good even for that. Sometimes she'll even struggle to 2HKO without a forge or a Spirit Dust, and her hitrates are consistently within the 70s. That's only better in the first chapters, then it's just that. Meg is not "just okay" in Part 3, if you are using her seriously. She's pretty solid. Most of why people think she's bottom tier do so because of her Part 1 performance, when everyone is bad in Part 1 save for like Nolan and Jill (among the unpromoted characters). If you train Meg, you get an actual good unit. If you train Ilyana, you get a worse version of subpar unit.

Meg eventually becomes a tank rivaling characters like Aran and Jill, and she's even dodgier thanks to her high Luck. Her Str/Def growths are lacking, but her bases and promotion gains keep those somewhat competent. It's not like her durability really struggles, save for the slump that is Part 1 (where every other one of your 1rst tiers still struggle). If you train Meg seriously, she can be really good in Part 3, and that's more than what Ilyana can say. Her one chapter at the end of the game hardly matters, let alone when the most optimal way to finish 4-E-3 is to rush it. People really underrate Meg because she comes somewhat underleveled and gets doubled in her starting chapter, but then she also has a ton of availability to work with, and doesn't leave the team with the Exp you're taking. I never found her Mov to be an issue, since maps aren't a huge open field or anything. I have a lot of trouble seeing that in HM. I started playing the other day again, and I can barely get Edward, Nolan, Aran and Ilyana to lvl.16, 17, 13 & 17 respectively. Micaiah is lvl.10-12, and I just gave up on her so the others could get Exp. And I was taking my time, too. lvl.20 for 2 characters by 1-E is generous, let alone 3 or even 4. Edward is another character that's really underrated. He has a lot of time to train, and he's pretty vicious after you do get past his Part 1 slump. He's one of the two only characters that can use the Wrath/Resolve combo, and access to Cadabogl and a fast support with Nolan makes him almost as dodgy as Zihark with double Earth, but with far better offense. He's one of the best characters to kill Ike. Their Spd caps don't really become an issue until Endgame (save for characters like Rhys, who have 30 Spd cap). I mentioned earlier, in the Gatrie topic, that characters with like 31 Spd (Gatrie and Oscar) can double up to around 4-E-1, and that really enough to get you through most of the game. Caps aren't a problem as we once thought they were, and we ought to recognize that. Fire Sages, in particular, they have access to Rexflame, which gives them +3 Spd. A Sanaki with capped Spd and enough Str (not hard to reach with some BEXP) can actually reach 35 Spd, if that's a concern. She just need to take a hit from any enemy that isn't a Warrior. I've done it a couple of times, and it works well in practice. It's actually easier than Part 1 Micaiah, ironically. No, they do pretty well, assuming you have trained them (why would you bring them to Part 4, otherwise?). Soren and Callil are the most likely ones to pull through, but Ilyana takes a lot of work to get her there without getting lucky in Spd or favouritism of some sort. She has a bad start, but a ton of availability and resources (which she can use well) to work with. She's honestly not that much worse than the other unpromoted units, since they're all getting 2HKO'd. She does get doubled in her starting chapter, but I also know she gains Spd fast enough to get out of that and start taking hits later. She's a solid Part 3 frontliner, and it's sadly more than what Ilyana can say.

That's assuming she's 3rd tier to begin with. And if you need a special or a critical to oneround by then, there's clearly a problem. I'm playing HM right now, and those enemies she can double are very few outliers here and there. Most Tigers have 12 AS, and the 1-2 enemies she can double might not even 1RKO (i.e the Knights). That's hardly utility. I'm lowkey thinking Meg is terribly underrated, and better than Ilyana.

But it's not just her Spd, but more like the sum of all those things playing against her. She has a ton of availability and potential resources, but she has to heavily compete in Part 1 for it, only to leave the team and any potential resource she might take from them. And then she comes back in Part 3, only to be worse than Soren. Even a 20/1 Ilyana is worse than Soren, and can't take much advantage of the BEXP exploit. The other mages: - Micaiah heals and has Thanibombing, as well as Sacrifice+Wrath (if you're not using Edward). This makes her the best ranged attacker (not that it's great competition), but at least she potentially oneshots things. - Soren can use BEXP exploit, capping Mag, Skill & Res really quickly and being able to bring Spd up. The Ike support really helps. - Callil is pretty solid and one of the faster mages, her only issue is availability. - Sanaki with Daunt + Resolve actually makes her really workable, and even a potentially good Rexflame user in Endgame. I've used her in HM a couple of times and she's better than people gave her credit for. But then she comes it at like the end of the game??? I never played FE10 hax. ]:

I always enjoy training her in Part 1, it's just that her context within the game is kind of awkward. She starts out with pretty solid stats (namely Spd), but then she's slightly overleveled, meaning she levels a bit slower. And then there's her strange growths, favouring anything but her Spd (her worst growth tied with Def). And unlike characters like Aran- or even something like Laura, she can't viably use the BEXP exploit to cap certain stats to bring up her lower ones. And to top it all of, she's constantly competing with other fellow members for Exp, Exp of which she'll just end up shipping away to the GMs and be a worst Soren, at best. I've seen people talk about her Endgame performance against Dragons, but that's literally only one chapter. She could be a lot better if her availability played more to her favour, or something like that. EDIT: oh yeah, her Str growth is almost as much as her Mag growth, for some reason.

next topic Why Zihark is better than you think (As good as Mia???)

That's actually pretty well summarized. If I could add something, it'd be minimal. At the end of the day, it doesn't really take away what I said, and it's important to remember I said "almost" as good, and not outright better. I'm tempted to make a run to prove that.

It's stupid overkill. He has 9 mov and he flies, and you're prioritizing it over a unit with one of the better combat performances (who needs it and makes best use of it). Wind Swords are really bad, and the only thing he can kill with them is mages, like you said. He 3-4HKOs everything else, and you'd otherwise need Adept. Wind Edge is almost as bad as Crossbow, and Storm Sword is hardly available and only has 20 uses (and 12 Mt still cuts it short on enemies). And I don't know what you're referring to with the first sentence, really. He is borderline on doubling, at least on HM. He has 23 Spd and 35% Spd growth. He needs to proc Spd most levels if he wants to keep doubling consistently. Gatrie doesn't need "major" invesment to do well. It's just two resources that aren't as contested as a lot of people claim to be. Their isn't any actual difference in their Part 4 combat, either. They both 1RKO, and the only real difference is the Tower, where 31 Spd cap finally stops working for Gatrie.

That's a cool way to see it, and I'm glad someone else agree you don't have to use Haar every single time (or at least not turn him into Solo Mode MVP). Even if you don't Crown Haar, he's still really good and retains most of his value. What I'm suggesting doesn't even hinder the team or most other units, like I mentioned with Haar, Titania usually promotes naturally, Oscar or Mia can still use Adept, etc. I was also suggesting he promotes at lvl.15, which is as soon as he caps Spd. He really doesn't miss out on a lot he can get afterwards, let alone compared to the amount of reward he gets from doing so.
