Ditto that my friend, really wish the pity rate was universal instead of just per banner. Would stop all that hard work feeling completely wasted when you get absolutely zilch in the final hours. Of course the fact that it works that way is what got them ten bucks off me once when I was desperately trying to fish for Ninian so I suppose it works for them (of course as an additional to that, the fact that I got nothing even after spending money has basically guaranteed I'll never spend money on the game again so maybe they should make pity rates universal. Of course that could just be me).

Look at Dondon's 0% growths, Linoan is one of the MVPs with Nosferatu. Granted it's mostly against Mages where her magic stat also serves as defense, but when the game throws groups of mages at you, you need some way to combat them. And that's just on 0% growths, she has a fantastic skill growth too. With her combination of growths and absurd promotion bonuses, she'll almost certainly be capping magic, skill, luck and speed. And we're not even talking about at 20/20. She's going to be maxed out as soon as she hits second tier. Hell you could probably even ignore her until her plot based promotion and she'd still end up being really good.

It doesn't seem that odd to my speech patterns. I think it is a sort of dialogue quirk that's used in regional parts of Ireland. I doubt that's where IS was taking it from, but the reason some people speak like that comes from some more literal translations of Irish to English when we were basically forced to speak the language a few centuries back. The same phenomenon probably happened in other medieval areas too.

Finally a bow flier, though honestly I'd hoped Reina would get some love, instead of yet another royal alt. She kind of got shafted in her own game for being avatar sexual for absolutely no reason, but I still kind of liked her.

"I'm only being cautious," Constance said. "In case there's something seriously deadly in there. We'll make a quick sweep and be out before too long."

Except it absolutely is worth it, especially if you give her the Wrath manual.

People seem to feel strongly about the maps in Genealogy of the Holy War (and there's only 12 so you can reasonably fit them in a poll). So which, judging from a gameplay technical stand point (since I don't want the Battle of Barhara sweeping it), do you think are the best and worst maps?

Well that just goes to show, instead of armed security guards, we should have badass Xiaolin Monks stationed everywhere. Let the uniform of peace be a bald head!

Claire hesitated before turning to the two men. "We have more experience dealing with this type of magic than you two. I suggest you try and find out some more about this ship from the locals. If we don't leave within the next hour, burn the thing down." With those instructions given, she followed after Claire.

Constance walked to the boats in silence with Claire and the others. She didn't particularly want anyone else accompanying them, sensing Claire wanted to be a lone, but she supposed Claire probably had the exact same opinion towards her. As they drew closer, an unsettling feeling began to grip her. She noticed it coming from the largest boat. She gave Claire a knowing glance, but to her surprise, it was the Wykian noble who first spoke. "So you were there too," Constance muttered. She looked up at the boat. "It definitely reeks of Malaphar. He's been on it, though for what reason I can't guess. I heard one of you say he had some kind of devotees working under him in Magonsaete? Perhaps he's transported an army loyal to him into Mycia. I wonder if there's anyone alive around here that can tell us its history." She shuddered. "Every part of me wants to see this thing in flames, but we best investigate. There might be some kind of relic on board emitting this foul stench."

Ah right, well then do you mean 3-13, the Defense Chapter? Because I'd maintain that's not a chapter were low movement hinders much as it's all about holding the choke points.

Also, regarding that Laguz chapter, thanks to the swamp and fog of war, 90% of the action is going to be taking place in that south western starting square.

Being able to field units even if they've exceeded their stamina would be really useful for recruiting certain characters (or in Linoan's case, promoting her, but that should probably be removed in general, or replaced with some kind of alternate promotion to a unique class like Lara, with a normal promotion possible too). However, I feel it would completely break stave users if their stats were just lowered. They could be continuously fielded with no down side, even though the stamina system is sort of designed to limit staff users the most (they have low HP and some of the more advance staves consuming more stamina than normal). In general, I don't think the needing characters to recruit other characters is too much of a negative factor for stamina. It's infrequent enough and if player's are smart, they should have a few S Drinks in reserve to combat something exactly like that from happening.

I think we should request the mods to put this up on the main site for ease of access. Pretty useful short hand. Also Sleuf should totally support Amalda of vice versa.

Yep, five of em, giving him a 25% chance of acting again on any turn. Seriously, when a boss is that good, it's not designed to be fought fairly. You have to cheese him with sleep or something.

Passing around the Hero Sword wouldn't change things that much since you're probably not going to have everyone on the battlefield use it in one turn, and if you do, it's going to break pretty quickly. The pawn shop trading probably more comes down to the fact that characters have individual bank accounts, which in turn was probably implemented so lovers have something they can actually do with each other aside from making children.

"I'll accompany you," Constance said to Claire. She didn't have much more to add to the conversation about boats, and she wasn't keen on letting anyone wander off along after such a distressing battle. Least of all Claire, who had been so close to the destruction of the houses.

It's not too hard to get rid of him. You just need a rescue staff or, failing that, a bolting once your close enough to even target him. I wouldn't say the map's a joke without him though. Reinhardt and his team can still be dangerous, and you have to contend with Cowen, who's also statusing your units and won't go down in one hit. If you're going in blind, the bridge gimick can also really screw you over. Of course if you're playing Thracia blind, you're probably use to the game blindsiding you by now.

Saias has annoying coverage as an enemy support unit (which actually, I'd like to see a bit more of in modern bosses), but ultimately you just to hit him once to defeat him.

I wanted Master Weapons to be a thing for a while now, but my idea was that, where Brave Weapons have their effect on player phase, Master Weapons would only have their effect on enemy phase. I think that would have made both distinct and useful. But the Reinhardt comes waltzing in with his awesome always Brave Sword and ruins the potential for dedicated Brave Tankers forever.

Well there's three, including Galzus...

Well, Abel starts as a Cavalier in Shadow Dragon and a Paladin in Mystery, and Boss!Hardin has much higher stats than Base!Hardin. So presumably Marth did an Abel+Hardin solo run in canon, (with maybe a little help from Lorenz, since he's not playable in Mystery. Hardin's subordinates are also pretty highly levelled when you recruit them too).

I like to think I'm pretty good, though that only stems from having beaten most of the games on the hardest difficulty. I've never strayed into the area of draft runs or 0% growths or even going for ranks. I have done some iron man runs, though.

Personally I think Olwen should have been given the super Brave Sword. Can't really have too many complaints about Finn since the Brave Lance is his lance. It'd be sort of weird if had a made up prf just to be more special Hell, that'd be like giving Saias a prf tome when he was primarly a staff bot

Are the things really so mutually exclusive?
