    And as far as the population of Daein knows, Crimea flooded Talrega. And denying help from the guy that just ordered your homes destroyed seems reasonable, maybe he poisoned the food. Forgot about that. Daein did stop following Elincia. There's that gap of Chapters 14-17, where Daein is a complete nonentity. And they didn't need to declare peace. Crimea's rulers were dead, it had no forces to fight back with, the population were accepting Daein as their new rulers. They won. Then a few months later, Begnion forces under Elincia's command invade Daein. This isn't a continuation of the previous battles fought by Daein to claim Crimea, this is a different fight. In World War 2, there was no cease in the fighting. Sure the tide of the war turned, but the fight was constantly ongoing on at least one front, but here there's a point where the fighting for Crimea stopped, and a point where it started up again. And it was obvious Ashnard was in Crimea. He would have to oversee the progress of his occupation and set the laws of his regime up, and it's quicker to do that when you're in the country. Just because the characters are idiots who didn't think of it doesn't make it not obvious. And yes Daein was 100% at fault, Crimea was right to claim their country back but I don't see any war crimes committed by Daein. And no, I have never suggested that Ike and Elincia are in the wrong for claiming Crimea back. I'm saying that it's partly their fault for Daein's condition, since they could've elected to enter Crimea directly and attempting to free the country by driving the occupying army out. Sure, we know that Ashnard was there and they'd probably have failed, but the option was available to them.

    How does invading Daein first make the Daein forces in Crimea weaker? If anything, news that the army they're fighting devastated their homeland would only make them fight harder. And seriously? Daein wiped out Crimea's forces and was subjugating it's people, and there was a lengthy gap between Daein ending Crimea's resistance and Ike invading Daein. It shouldn't count as the same war! And while I can't blame them for wanting Crimea back, I can blame them for devastating Daein, since it was obvious that Ashnard wasn't there, and he was the target they were gunning for. Had she allied with the Apostle's Army, the Senate would have activated the Blood Pact, and Daein would've been eradicated. Do you really think that even unimpeded by Daein, the Apostle's Army could fight through the Senate's forces, get to Sienne, find the Senate and leave them unable to activate the pact before news gets to the Senate that Daein didn't follow orders? And do you think that they'd be able to force the senate to withdraw the power of the pact? And why are Ike and Elincia justified about saving Crimea, but Micaiah isn't about Daein? You mean things that if she didn't do, would've caused Daein to enter Civil War, with people siding with both Micaiah and Pelleas's point of view and left Daein to be eradicated by the Blood Pact? Most of the Daein's who terrorized Crimea are dead, since you killed them in PoR. Most of the Daein's in RD are people who weren't involved in Daein's occupation of Crimea, so it's really no retcon. And what war crimes?

    No, Ike started the war that destroyed Daein. Daein won the first war. It locked up the soldiers and militia, occupied Crimea's fortresses and were heading into towns and cities that they hadn't invaded before taking over the country to declare their rule. When Ike led the invasion of Daein, then Daein-occupied Crimea, he started a second war. Ike's invasion of Daein apparently left it's cities and towns in ruins and for what? As far as the general populace know, for no other reason to get to Crimea, which they didn't need to invade Daein to do. It was perfectly possible to free Crimea by heading into it through Begnion, or by using the route that the Apostle's Army takes in Radiant Dawn, which avoids towns and cities in Daein. Sure, we know Ike went to Nevassa to fight Ashnard, who wasn't there, but how would Daein's population? No she doesn't. Let's say she did stop the Laguz Alliance in 3-6. Gallia and Pheonics would still exist. If she stopped the Apostle's Army, Gallia, Pheonics, Crimea and Begnion would still exist. If Begnion activated the Blood Pact, Daein would be destroyed. She's tries to destroy a percentage of their populations in exchange for the entirety of her country not being eradicated.

    People in Daein praise Miciah because she saves them from Begnion. Note that Izuka says he's spreading rumours, and it doesn't turn into full blown worship until after 1-8, which is after she's liberated most of Daein. Soren, Almedha, Izuka, the Begnion Senators and Army dislike her. Branded are normal in Hatari, show Volug, Rafiel and Naliah don't care. Kurth didn't know. Vika doesn't know she's a branded, and has no trouble working with people from Daein anyway, and Muarim trusts her because Sothe does. That's all the laguz she interacts with before Part 4, where the impending apocalypse took precedence over racism. She liberated Daein, serving as both a tactician and fighter. That's what Ike did for Crimea, yet he earned worship from the entire continent while she doesn't deserve it from just Daein? And that completly ignores that Micaiah has flaws. Her letting Jarod go, believing he'll just bury Alder leads to him laying waste to Nevassa. She looses her powers and collapses several times because she works herself into exhaustion. She does deplorable things, knowing full well that they are deplorable, not because she believes that it's the right thing to do, but to keep her country stable. She left Sothe behind, and planned on doing it again before Ike made her not want to. Even Soren, for all his flaws, would not dream of leaving Ike. Hell, developers notes says Micaiah was like Soren prior to Ike leaving Daein in tatters, and that Sothe was suprised that she wanted to help people.

    Charzard can get Flare Blitz from the move relearner in X/Y.
  6. Shotguner159
    Then how'd you get 40? 35 slots, + Sheik, ZSS, Ivysaur and Charizard = 39.
  7. Shotguner159
    39. Pokemon Trainer isn't a playable character himself, so you only need to count two of his Pokemon as extras.
  8. Shotguner159
    And the Smash attacks, the ledge attacks, the floor attacks, throw range, pummel, throws, how it'd hang onto the edges of ledges, how it'd grab opponents, taunts and victory poses.

    11: Ike, Makalov, Cord, Cordelia, Mia 12: Titania, Micaiah, Lucina, Haar, Lehran
  10. Shotguner159
    How it works, maybe? As in, do you prefer needing +5 to double, or +4, or do you prefer weapon weight minus con or str?
  11. Shotguner159
    Attack Speed, I think.
  12. Shotguner159
    Lucina reminds me of Ciel Phantomhive, appearance wise.
  13. Shotguner159
    Don't the DB fight more 1-range enemies than 2-range enemies?
  14. Shotguner159
    How is Ike more relevant to Fire Emblem than Lucario is to Pokemon? And why not both, like they planned for Brawl?
  15. Shotguner159
    Why does that matter? Ike isn't the most recent Fire Emblem lord anymore either, so if Lucario's shaky for that reason, so's he. And Lucario is still used heavily by the Pokemon company, getting a Mega Evolution in X/Y, was used to advertise B2/W2 and is used to advertise X/Y. Hell, he replaced Zoroark as the mascot for Pokemon Smash, despite Zoroark being from the current generation.

    It gives you the option to select a PoR file again.

    Greed as one of the seven deadly sins is entirely about material possessions, like wealth, status and power. Gluttony is about food and drink. One who wants more food then they need is gluttony, even though wanting more than you need is typically considered to fall under greed. And gluttony is put under greed anyway; greedy has "Wanting to eat or drink more than one can reasonably consume; gluttonous." as a part of it's definition, meaning gluttony is a part of greed now.
  18. Shotguner159
    You are calling him a greedy, wasteful eater. That's what a glutton is. If a glutton was simply someone who eats lots and loves food it wouldn't be one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
  19. Shotguner159
    What. How does "I'd be surprised if what's here lasted past those two, much less a whole pack of laguz." mean "Ike's appetite is as much as a pack of laguz". It says exactly what it says. She'd be surprised if what Oscar made was enough for them two, and if it isn't enough for two laguz appetites, how will it be enough for a pack of laguz appetites? Yes this is off topic, but at this wasn't an opinion discussion. I took issue with you describing Ike as a glutton, because he doesn't fit the definition of a glutton. And now I'm arguing that Lethe didn't say that Ike eats as much as a pack of Laguz, because she didn't.
  20. Shotguner159
    They met by Edward saving Leonardo from being cornered by the Begnion Occupational Army. That's not exactly childhood friends. Lethe doesn't compare Ike's appetite to a whole pack of laguz, she says that she'd be surprised if what Oscar made was enough for Ike and Skrimir, and if it's not enough for them two, how would it be enough for a pack of Laguz.
  21. Shotguner159
    What Titania: ...So, what do you think? Mordecai: Ahh! These are all the favorite foods of the beast tribe. They will be happy. Lethe: Oscar, you're a chef? Oscar: That's right. Lethe: Hah! Great! I can't wait to see the looks on all their faces when they learn that a beorc made all this delicious food! Oscar: Aww, stop it. You're embarrassing me! Titania: But it's true! Where did you learn all this, Oscar? You should start teaching classes. Mordecai: Yes, your food very good! So good, it will be eaten very quickly. Oscar: Really? Hmm. Do you think I should make more? Lethe: Us beasts have a healthy appetite, of course. On top of that, we have General Skrimir and Ike. ...Yeah. I'd be surprised if what's here lasted past those two, much less a whole pack of laguz. Titania: Tsk, you're exaggerating! Ike is a beorc. He couldn't possibly eat as much as someone from the beast tribe. Well, maybe he would. Actually... He most definitely would. Oscar: Yeah. Especially the ribs and steaks. Lethe: Mordecai. How about we go hunt for more game? Mordecai: Right! Oscar: There probably aren't enough herbs to flavor everything. I'll go get more. Titania: My. We might need to harvest an entire mountain. Sure, but goes completely against Ike's other characterization, so I don't now why'd you'd assume that he is, except for the case of artificiality increasing Ike's list of flaws to make him less of a flawless character. You say things I disagree with, and we appear to frequent the same boards. If someone else posted the same thing, I'd respond in the exact same way. I don't look at every thread you post in for the sole purpose of disagreeing with you.

    That doesn't mean that Ike eats as much as an army of Laguz, just that he eats as much as a laguz. Also that what Oscar has made isn't enough. And Titania says: Titania: Tsk, you're exaggerating! Ike is a beorc. He couldn't possibly eat as much as someone from the beast tribe. Well, maybe he would. Actually... He most definitely would. Titania explicitly says as much as someone from the beast tribe, not as much as an entire army. Lethe doesn't correct her so she meant the same thing. And eating a fuckton isn't gluttony by itself. Gluttony is eating/drinking in excess to the point of waste. If Ike eats until he's full, it's not wasting the food. If Ike eats even after he get's full, it's wasting the food, and therefore gluttony. There's no mention of Ike eating after he get's full, so it's safe to assume he doesn't. So Ike isn't a glutton.
  23. Shotguner159
    They don't compare his appetite to that of the army, they just say that his appetite equals that of a single laguz. That just means he likes food and has a big appetite, it doesn't make him a glutton.
  24. Shotguner159
    Since when was Ike gluttonous?
