I only really cheat when I can use things like save states, battle saves, and resetting for good level ups in Radiant Dawn (only reason why I had a Ike that could fufill the requirements for the Ike's memory scene, and why I had a Heather with 26 strength by endgame, and had a Meg that could actually fight well). I need to cut down, or just plain stop save stating, because I do it a lot. Other than those, nothing. I don't believe in editing the game itself to change the classes, weapons, etc.

Pretty much what others have said. Good for killing off healers quickly so they aren't as much of a pest, and snipes flyers like nobody's business, which helps a lot in places like Michalis's chapter, or the endgame (even if he can't double EVER). Of course, there isn't much incentive to use him outside of personal preference, considering you get an almost carbon copy of him 2 chapters later, and his Arrowspate (the only Ballista he has access too) doesn't have too many uses, so he can only be used sparingly, and his carbon copy is marginally better in some stats, although not by much. He is a good unit, with great potential, but not amazing since, between him and the next Ballistician, there isn't much difference. Ballisticians themselves aren't godly anyways.

I would say Linde is pretty dang awesome. She can wield Aura immediatly, which is, bar none, one of the most powerful weapons on the game, and it is coupled with a decent magic growth. Being a magic tome restricted to her or women with a B in tomes makes her pretty much the only possible wielder of Aura, since training any female character in this game to B in tomes is pretty much not going to happen. Of course, Linde is pretty frail, so while she can kick some serious ass, she is going to be hurting if anything so much as touches her. Other than her amazing power, she has some pretty decent growths, especially considering this game's penchant for lowish growths. She does start at level one however, so she is going to be behind since it is pretty much midgame when you get her.
Overall, Linde is pretty solid as a unit, but pretty dang frail, and she also needs a bit of help to become awesome. Even so, she can be very good.

Hmm. Well, barring the unavoidable Man, I feel Like a Woman reaction, since I can't choose between these two:
Minerva: If I had my wyvern still, I would treat it like an amazing pet, and a fun ride (GOODBYE CARS), and with or without it, I would just deal with the normal implications of becoming the opposite gender, which, based on how Tripple J put it, would be annoying. Although, based on what my life is like, I could pass it off as a sex change and no one would notice the difference. I would also train with a sword or bow.
Illyana: Other than the same problems and solutions of becoming a woman with my other choice, not much would change, since I am a little similar to Ills in some ways. However, I would train with a non-spell weapon, since spells probably won't exist in the real world, and, like my other choice, I would actually like to learn how to use a bow or sword one day.

Oh YES. Minerva, oh how do I count the- *record scratch*
Trying to be as unbiased as possible, Minerva is pretty badass. Her character is pretty cool, considering this games lack of character. Also, she comes right out of the box, ready to use the strongest axe in the game, which is a big boon, plus, her bases are fair. Unfortunatly, she is surpassed very easliy by other characters, since her bases are pretty much on par with your other units at that point, and, eventually, anyone can use Hauteclere (I do declare). and her growths do carry her a bit, but not good enough. Especially in wake of the Dracoknight possibilities in this game.
All in all, she does pretty well for quite a few chapters, but has some issues with, well, quite a bit.
5/10 For the princess of Macedon.

Too bad oscar and kieran need resources to get to titania's level...she has almost a perfect score because shes practically perfect. She saves so many turns in the first few chapters and has no chances of death for a looooong time. Also, if anything, those other scrubs would be taking the experience from titania because she is just that awesome.
I never did say she was bad, it just goes like this: people are talking about her extreme lategame potential, which is what I talked about. She is good in the beginning, I will say that, as are most Oifayes (at least I think of her as one) but, raising Oscar and Kieran yield slightly better results. And like I said, she gets surpassed in stat averages at max level by level 7 or 8 (promoted) characters. She needs basically the same stuff Oscar and Kieran do, and then some, to be amazing as people say.
Also, I am not going to post on this thread anymore, mainly since I don't want to derail its point.
-
The random reason is that you didn't give her a Silver Axe forge. Anyways, Marcia has at least as much difficulty 2HKOing as Titania lategame.
Titania is pretty darn good lategame. Her strength is middling, but she has the best weapon selection in the game (best weapon classes and best weapon ranks). Titania can generally use specialty weapons or silver forges to 2HKO Generals and laguz. The only units Titania might be unable to 2HKO are Wyvern Riders/Lords and tough bosses - hardly an unforgivable shortcoming.
Titania's Def is also middling, but she has decent HP, Res, and Avo. Titania also has no real weapon weaknesses (I can count the number of enemies with Poleaxes on one hand). Titania gets Def from all of her supports, she can take a low-demand Occult Scroll for self-healing, and can equip the Knight Ward if she absolutely needs the +2 Def.
Titania's Spd is good, but generally insufficient to double the fastest enemies. This can be ameliorated by topping off Titania's levels with Bexp at base, so she can use the Knight Ward. While Titania may not be able to double Homasa and Petrine, most foes are within her reach.
Okay, sure, she can be good if you give her all of that stuff, but think about this: she needs those to work. I will admit she can be good. Only problem is that if you give all of that stuff to Oscar with Axes as his promotion choice (although why I don't know, but roll with me), or you use Kieran, and their weapon ranks are high enough (by the way, don't forget that you no can has S-rank axe or lance in this game), they emulate her well. Also, supports with Titania give her at the most, 2 def (if i am correct). Her average (of Defense) at max Level is 18, which Oscar surapsses AT LEVEL SEVEN, and Kieran at 8. Oscar can even have a support (although with Janaff) to get the defense Titania can get with her supports. All three of these characters being mentioned are of the Cavalier/Paladin branch, so anything that Titania gets because she is a Paladin (only weakness to infrequent horse-killer weapons, Knight ward, Sol from the Occult scroll etc.) are able to be gotten with Oscar and Kieran. She does have availibility over those two, especially Kieran, but doesn't gain significant exp until quite a few chapters down the road, where she has bleh bases for LV 1 promoted. Also, if anyone misses my point, I am saying that she is rated at almost PERFECT (just a little bit above the Cain and Abel mimics), with all of that against her. Even with bias points, that is ridiculous.
Also, excuse my very long rant, I usually don't like doing that. And if I offended anyone, my apologies, I just needed to say that.
-
Mini-rant time. Why is Titania rated higher than everyone? I am not going to insult anybody, since I am not that kind of person, but why?
She is okay in some aspects, being a crutch. Even so, if she's raised to level 20 (i am saying her MAX level, with base stats like 12 Str, and 11 Def), while decent on Speed and Skill, other stats average out on around 21 Str, 18 Def, and 15 res, which range from passable, to bleh. She isn't even going to gain exp significantly for a long while, and if you raise her earlier, she hogs it from everyone else. Later, she's a *insert synonym for female dog here* to raise. Why is she rated as the best unit in the game, and almost PERFECTLY RATED? Sure, being a Paladin is cool, but she is NOT perfect. I am just stating the facts, and just so confused, I don't think anyone can change my opinion of that rating being a little over-exaggerated.

Rafiel. Some of his best qualities come from his ability to refresh four units, which is a big help, ESPECIALLY in the Dawn Brigade chapters, and even moreso Part one endgame, where you kind of have to move to get some stuff done, like stop the thieves. Even so, he has his bad parts. Always being stuck at 5 move kind of sucks, and transforming does little except raise his stats (and, in chapters where there are ledges, he can't climb them while transformed). Plus, there's the whole "No Canto" thing. Also, he has glass bones and paper skin, and dies if you shout too loud, like the other herons, pretty much. But that isn't really that bad, because of his purpose.
All in all, he's decent. Nice to have around

Mark (M) x Nn
Feel free to find and replace Nn with something else if you find it too awkward : P
C support
Mark: Huhhh...? Is that Nn kneeling over there!?
Nn: .....
Mark: What happened, Nn!?
Nn: ...Huh? M-Mark? What's the matter? Why are you so flustered...?
Mark: Nn, are you alright!? What were you kneeling down there for, just then?
Nn: Oh, ahh... You've got the wrong idea. I was simply praying is all.
Mark: P-praying... is that all it was?
Nn: Yes. I was just closing my eyes, like this... Lady Naga, Lady Naga, please hear my wish. ...And saying my prayers, like that. Lady Naga is a very important deity to us. If our prayers are sincere, they're sure to bring happiness to everybody!
Mark: I get it~ So... you're praying to Lady Naga.
Nn: Yes. Not only that, but we dragonkin can even hear Lady Naga's voice from time to time.
Mark: Is that for real?! Man, that's awesome!!
Nn: In fact, I can even hear Lady Naga's voice now.
Mark: Whoa~! What's she saying?
Nn: We-well, she's saying "little children should go to bed early", things like that...
Mark: Hahaha. I guess she's quite the motherly deity, huh? ...More to the point, what exactly were you praying to Lady Naga for?
Nn: I was praying for everybody to be blessed with happiness and for peace to swiftly return to the world...
Mark: So, did you get a response from Lady Naga?
Nn: N-no... Whenever I make this prayer, I never get an answer from Lady Naga.
Mark: Is-is that so... ...Oh! But, I bet Lady Naga would say you shouldn't rely on deities for this kind of thing, you should rely on your own power to achieve it, or something like that, right?
Nn: ...R-really? Maybe you're right. Your explanation is pretty positive, Mark.
Mark: If we think of it like that, then it feels like we're brimming with hope!
Nn: Yes, that is certainly true!
B support
Nn: Lady Naga, Lady Naga...
Mark: Oh, Nn...
Nn: .....
Mark: I see you're praying today as well...
Nn: ......... Prayer's over! ...Oh, hello Mark.
Mark: Nn, did Lady Naga give you a response?
Nn: Yes, I just about managed to hear Lady Naga's voice. She said "please bring along the offering", so it turns out I'm one being requested.
Mark: An offering... I see! So, will food work?
Nn: Not quite. Lady Naga specifically asked for a particular flower.
Mark: What kind of flower?
Nn: One that flowers once every hundred years, during a night of the full moon, called the Naga Herb. But... that's just what I heard from the rumours. I've never actually heard of anybody who's found one. They say the flower grows at places where man cannot easily reach, so it's an incredibly rare flower.
Mark: Huh... You sure know your stuff. But the Naga Herb, huh? ...First time I've heard of it!
Nn: Something only whispered of is going to be extremely difficult to find... Sigh... It seems I've been tasked with a difficult problem. But, so as to not disappoint Lady Naga, I have to try my best...
Mark: If it's not a bother, could I help you find it?
Nn: Oh, thank you. I'd gladly appreciate your help. But, I don't have any clues where to start looking at the moment, so I'll come and find you later, when you're not busy.
Mark: Sure, gotcha! Awesome, let's go and find it together~!
A support
Mark: Nn! I'm over here!
Nn: Oh, hello Mark... ...To tell the truth, I prayed to Lady Naga earlier and she said "stand here and don't move".
Mark: Eh... I see! ...Then, maybe she was suggesting that you're already close to your objective?
Nn: Huh...?
Mark: Ha!!! There it is! Nnngh!!! How does it look!?
Nn: Huh...!? This flower is...!? Could-could it be... the Naga Herb that Lady Naga mentioned!?
Mark: Yup, no doubt about it!
Nn: That's incredible, Mark!! Thank you so much! But-but... how on earth would you know to look here? From what I heard, the flower isn't easy to find. I just can't believe we'd find it growing here of all places...
Mark: Oh... Ahaha, no, it's nothing like that. It was sheer coincidence that I found it. When I saw it flowering by the roadside, I was curious so I took a closer look. I didn't honestly think I'd find it there! Maybe, there are times when the flower grows at places where you can easily find it~!
Nn: ...Is-is that true?
Mark: Yep! "Coincidence" sure is a beautiful thing, huh? Who knows, perhaps this was Lady Naga's divine providence!
Nn: Mark... for Lady Naga's sake... Thank you! Lady Naga will surely be very happy! And, I'm very happy as well!
Mark: If you're both happy, then that's awesome! ...After everything we've done, Nn's prayers will surely be heard by Lady Naga~!
Nn: Yes! With this Naga Herb, my prayers will definitely be answered!
Mark: Yup! ...Then, I'll go on ahead, seeya!
Nn: Alright, thank you Mark!
(Mark leaves)
Nn: Mark, all those bruises on your body... I'm truly grateful...
S support
Nn: Oh, hello Mark!
Mark: Huhhh, Nn? Have you already finished praying to Lady Naga for today?
Nn: There's... no need for that anymore. My wish has already been fulfilled.
Mark: Wow, congratulations! That's seriously awesome! ...Eh, huhhh? But wasn't Nn's wish for everybody to be happy and world peace...? There's still a war going on, right?
Nn: To-to tell the truth.. I also had another wish.
Mark: Huhhh? Is that so? If you don't mind, could you tell me your other wish?
Nn: ...I hoped that my feelings could be understood by the person I loved... ...but, there's no need for that anymore. I already know that the person I love views me just as important as I view them...
Mark: Oh... it's like that? I-I'm sorry... It'd be rude for me to listen any further.
Nn: N-no! I want you to keep listening! ...I! I... love you Mark!!
Mark: Eh...!
Nn: Mark, when you tirelessly helped me to find the Naga Herb, it made me so happy. Lady Naga even said herself "you did a good job"!
Mark: A-ahahaha! I-I see...! I get it now...! Lady Naga saw through me straight away... N-no~ I feel so embarrassed now~
Nn: But I'm truly happy! Mark's feelings were carried by the Naga Herb and blossomed deep within my heart!
Mark: I see... that's awesome. Th-then, give me a chance to express myself this time! I... I love you, Nn!!
Nn: Yes...! I love you as well, Mark!
Mark: E-ehehe! I should have known this would make me way embarrassed! ...There's only one question left, does Lady Naga have anything to say about all this?
Nn: Th-that's... please wait. ........ Th-that's, what? She said "you guys are on fire"!
Mark: Ahahaha! We've got Lady Naga's blessings alright!
Nn: Yes! From now onwards, we ought to show Lady Naga how happy we live our lives together!
Awww... Now I want to try MU x Nn!
Oh god, now I am getting the idea of Naga being an announcer on NBA Jam. What. Just What.

Oh Bantu. Bantu, Bantu, Ban-Ban, Bantu. He has his uses, I guess. After all, he is a decent hard hitter early on if you have his dragonstone. Although, he will be hurt pretty bad if anything so much as touches him after a while, and his growths carry him nowhere (20s and 10s in half of his stats),. Firestone bonus doesn't really do much.
Ban-Ban is made of solid win despite that 10/10
Bantu, you have little use, but you can do something, I guess.

I would have to say after a bit in the Grandmaster class, I may reclass him to Dragonmaster. I love me some Dracos.

I don't see what the problem is. There's always been a reason to use mages. They tend to be speedier than ax users, their tomes weigh the down less than Javalins weigh down Pegasus knights, and they target Res instead of Def, which makes them borderline game breakers, since most enemies typically have under 10 res at the best in later chapters. Archers have always been iffy for me though (mind, I always use the NeimixColm pair).
Isn't weight nonexistant in this game?
-
I guess this is good for balance. Plus, the Tomahawk and the Spear seem fairly decent, so at least those will have some use. I am disowning the hand axes and javelins for being more fail than bronze weapons, however.
-
You know what, never mind. I forgot about that.
-
Okay true, but I am just curious how it would play out, despite it probably being an ABOLUTELY TERRIBLE idea.
-
So, after watching a playthrough of Mario's Early Years, I had a crazy Idea. What if IS was crazy to make a Fire Emblem game marketed towards kids? Any ideas?
-
It's Metroid backwards, which is why I clarified that I love Fire Emblem despite my name. Also, when I say imperfect characters, I mean characters like Meg, Fiona, Heather, and Illyana in RD (I will admit they are bad, but they are still usable), and also characters like Marth in SD, or Roy in FE6. All characters that are given copious amounts of hate, but aren't that bad (though they aren't godly units either).

Well, hi. I am new to the forums here (depsite browsing the site itself for a long time) and I hope to enjoy sharing my opinions of games, my love for terrible mildly imperfect characters and just overall enjoyment of my favorite SRPG series!

Wow, Tiki was actually probably going to eat Anna. WOW. Now I have that image burned into my mind. Anna is also kind of a jerk in this. But what can we expect from the RNG goddess?
