So far...
+HP -Lck
However, the game deems the name "Sexy" as inappropriate, so anyone who gets me via streetpass will get "Robin" instead. Oh well.

Best: Black Knight
Worst: FE13 generic Great Knights. Dat Helmet

This is more of a "holy crap that worked" moment for my friend that I saw while he tried to recruit me on streetpass
He had a lvl 1 assasin avatar (by chapter 7, he got really lucky with the shops and powerleveled his guy a lot) who had to go against my lvl 15 grandmaster avatar with like >70 hp and 25ish defense. He had a good plan by standing just on the outer edge of my attack range and attacking me with a bow. After that, though, he ran in with a steel sword even though he couldn't kill me with it and my avatar could easily 2RKO him. Needless to say, he got an Ignis crit with a 7% crit chance and killed my avatar.

So far...
Me
Virion: That voice...
Stahl: I've always been a fan of the green cavalier, but Stahl honestly seems the closest character to me personality wise
Lon'qu: If only because of his crit quotes, like "Be silent!" and "How well will you die"
Anna: Waifu I like her constant puns, plus she is a very good staff user and possible levin sword user
-
Best: FE10 Sothe for breaking Part 1 before Big T/Naliah break what's left of it
Worst: FE6 Cath for being a pain in the ass to recruit plus you have like two better thieves before you get her
-
Oh lord, even the sticker packs ship those two...

RD had a good concept with the different perspectives, but I felt that the DB parts were hugely imbalanced due to most of your units being nigh useless and part 3 focused too much on the already strong as hell GMs from a gameplay perspective, so the DB or CRK units had a hard time catching up to them. However, the skill system in RD was better than it was in PoR due to more customization and all that jazz and I liked the overall plot better until part 4
PoR had better (read: existant) character development, though that is mostly because the supports were actually not generic, and I liked the overall gameplay more. Unfortunately, PoR didn't have ledges, something that I thought was really innovative on my first RD playthrough and most of the units were quite usable even on higher difficulties, sans like lucia and bastian or something.

School mostly. When that's not happening, I'm usually looking up stuff on Awakening or playing random stuff like Castlevania/Final Fantasy/Kirby
-
Best: Oliver
Worst: Dolph
-
+Luk -Spd, at least on my Hard playthrough
But then I look back at all the stats and whatnot and now I'm considering +HP -Spd. This happens a lot
-
You are forbidden from using that game's voice acting as comparison which cause me to remember that horrendous ear shattering Mist voice.
Now FE9's? Ike's "FATHER! DON'T LEAAAVE MEEEEE!" was so bad, it was good. It's meme material. And Greil is just manly. So manly, "Ike! Stay Back!" won't stop ringing in my head.
"Think you can defeat me, the man who taught you how to fight?"
Anyway, I usually try to remember Shinion's voice to forget about Mist's terrible voice
-
These voice actors are a huge improvement from RD's (shudder). I like Virion's English voice way more now
Plus the writing actually made me laugh a few times, even though I've just seen the dialogue from the first two chapters. It's nice to see NOA putting a lot of effort into this FE
-
Fastest: FE10 4-E-4
Slowest: FE4 Chapter 2
Nominate Best/Worst AI

HMs: Zelgius the Brave, Oliver's Fall/Power Hungry Fool, Celice's Theme
Worst: Uh, Lyon's Theme I guess

[spoiler=Chapter 9]
Bringing Carrion for the Elite Sword
I thought that it was Noba. Stupid inconsistent translations
First things first
I would comment on this guy, but it would just be a rambling, angry mess because no Asvel
Screw terrain
Nanna starts this chapter off very nicely
Brighton and Dagda do their thing
Good thing I don't need to worry about collapsing roofs now
I'm pretty sure that Dagda is the head of a bandit group
DAMMIT, DAGDA
WELP
Marty is too good for this guy
Hicks finishes off Merlock and gets a good level. lol2hp
Captured that annoying bastard
A good level for Brighton
This looks threatening, but...
Those stats are a little low for a lvl 12 unit
I love capturing enemy bishops. So much loot
Selfina: "...Those assholes..."
Brighton is easily the MVP for this chapter
Now he can use... uh... nothing new
OW
BRIGHTON, NO
SHIT, I FORGOT TO GIVE THE ODO SCROLL TO LEAF. DAMMIT, MARTY
I usually hoard these and pretty much never use them
Master Swords for Leaf
Tops Hicks' other level by 1 speed. lol2hpagain
lolthrone/fort/mansion? bonuses
HOW DO PEOPLE KEEP FINDING THESE?
Better than a blank level for Nanna
I kinda feel bad about the fact that this won't happen
Good work? What has he done, exactly?
Oh wait, he got me this. Good work, Carrion
30 exp for healing so imba
Brighton, you are more than forgiven because of your work in this chapter
What? I'm pretty sure that Jagen and Marcus are beasts and they are pretty old
They aren't advancing because THEY ARE ALL DEAD
Altenna, they all died. Go away. I'm just kidding, please join us
-
Best: Roy
Worst: Creepy Doll!Yune

I'm a fan of utility units, so tricksters are my favorite new class due to having both thief and staff utility. Battle Monks/Clerics are a close second, though

[spoiler=Chapter 8x Part 2: Nanna vs. Gomez] ROUND. ONE. FIGHT!
OUCH
SHIT
Round 1 ends in a draw
ROUND. 2. FIGHT!
lol
Wrath too strong
Round 2 ends in a draw
Intermission: Leaf puts a ring on his leg so he can move faster
Nanna > Gomez
HPs for Nanna
Screw low turn counts, I'm not even using Safy
I forgot to screen Leaf capping, but I think we all know what that looks like by now
-
Now that the semester is over I can actually do this more often
[spoiler=Chapter 8x Part 1]
Oh God, where did everything go
The crew
This guy has it all. Good stats, facial hair, axes, and even a friggin mansion
As good as you are, this is Gomez you're talking to
Yup. Brave axe on Dagda
THE PACK MULE RETURNS
Why does carrying someone like Tanya make your stats drop by this much
MARTY, LEAD THE CHARGE
Oh hey there
DAMMIT RONAN, STOP TAKING MARTY'S KILLS
Marty is doing what he does best
Lifis, I appreciate you mocking Marty, but this isn't the time to constantly miss
Apparently carrying Tanya makes you less broken
More speed on Marty is nice
TWO. FRIGGIN. DEFENSE.
YES. YES. YESSSS. AND I FORGOT TO GIVE THE HEZUL SCROLL TO RONAN
Ronan is making me so happy right now
Well... at least Nanna got HP
MARTY'S FIRST NATURAL DOUBLE. I'M SO PROUD
MARTY...
Typical Ronan level
WOO, EXP BOT FOR NANNA
Everything but the stats I want on Marty. Still a good level
Speaking of exp for Nanna
Ronan can also shoot people through walls
Another typical Ronan level
Dammit, I only need one exp bot for Nanna
Yay, the stats Marty never gets
I forgot to use this on Nanna earlier. Oh well
This will come in handy
Dammit Nanna, get some durability
THIS GUY IS SO TANKY
Machua has almost capped speed. Before promoting
brb stapling this on Lifis
Earth sword so imba
Marty wants Halvan's his axe back
Ronan, why
Too bad there's no breakable walls to kill my units on in this game
Oh, there's still some guy here
Pretty nice Nanna level, if only for the HP
I feel sorry for the enemy armies since they will have to face an angry woman.
This guy would be tolerable except throne bonuses are so ridiculous in this game

Most: Jill
HM: Renault
Least: Macellan
DHM: Dolph

[spoiler=Chapter 8]
I like it when I can finally use this menu in FE games
Almost everyone used in Manster is fatigued lol
I DON'T SEE NO PURPLE MOUNTAINS HERE
Oh hey, it's axeland again
OH SHIT, I THINK I LEFT THE BRAVE AXE ON DAGDA
RONAN'S FIRST LEVEL IN FOREVER AND HE ALREADY GETS STR
Aaaannd he's back to missing again
Dalsin doesn't even have the battle axe equipped, what's with these crits
Good thing Marty sucks at hitting things
Halvan: "No, you missed, you are clearly Marty"
Marty: "But all of these guys miss constantly"
Halvan: "Oh yeah... but you are carrying around six axes just like the last time I saw you"
The Marty Party resumes
And he starts by... hitting? Then dodging? Looks like Halvan did have the wrong guy.
Ronan is such a good archer that he can shoot straight through buildings
Meanwhile, Dalsin is still in crit city
Very good level by Dalsin
DAMMIT MARTY, YOU'RE HOLDING UP THE LINE
I kinda forgot about how many of these things you get at this point
Marty is still being inconsiderate by holding everyone back
At least he can double 0 AS units now
NO. I NEED TO GIVE THESE KILLS TO MARTY
One more rank then Ronan uses nothing but the brave bow
Whoops, forgot to screen his stats. Oh well, Rumay would be a piss easy boss, but I need to capture him for 8x
...
STOP PROCCING CONTINUE WHEN I DON'T WANT IT
Lifis, Dalsin, and Dagda are going to have to fight over this. Looks like Dagda's getting it
Would be a typical Ronan level, but no MAG :<
The brave lance only has 9 wgt...
Holy crap, this guy has a lot of loot
Nice and easy chapter after hell Manster
-
[spoiler=Chapter 7]
This is going to be fun without Karin
Oh hey, it's this guy again. Hopefully he doesn't waste any uses of that killing edge
THIS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT I HAVE FACED PREVIOUSLY
Woo, Fin's Back!
But, sadly, he needs to be dismounted because terrain
SO. MANY. CHOICES.
Oh hey, what's up?
1) We are right here, numbnuts
2) About half of us have horses, and one of them is even a flying horse
This guy thought attacking Dalsin would be safer than attacking Brighton or halbird!Hicks. Nope.
UHH, GOOD LUCK, FIN!
Eisenow: Ninja Paladin who comes out of bushes and tells others to give chase to people right in front of him
lol
More thwomp for the thwomp
This will come in handy
All I care about is that Nanna got HP
Uh, thanks, I guess
STR is nice for Lifis
Terrain is so imba in this game
YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO KILL THIS GUY FOR SEVERAL TURNS. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE COMPETENT ONE
I didn't mean to yell at you earlier, Fin. Let's just put that behind us.
WHOA, THIS MYRM DOES A CRAPTON TO MOUNTAIN FIN
11 STR AND A SILVER SWORD??? THIS GAME...
Fin's gonna need that dodge
WELL, SHIT
Meanwhile, Lifis and Machua take a detour through the mountains
lolambushcrit
THWOMP
HOW WILL THIS HELP IN THE ARENA?
DAMMIT BRIGHTON
Lifis is the superior thief
More STR is always nice on Lifis
This might be a little unnecessary
Fin has no idea about my future plans for Nanna
WHATCHU GOT, BRO
Apparently more than Brighton does
1 HP?? FOR THE LOVE OF...
Well, this is making up for that zero stat levelup a while ago
Oh yeah, he has this. Damn that 1 HP
Machua, you don't need more speed.
Perfect
Tank Nanna needs to be more durable than this. I'm probably giving her the life ring now
STR BLESSED LIFIS
Everyone escapes and a few familiar faces appear
It's okay. You're not supposed to be useful this time
No you won't
That's because you have a 15% STR growth. You might want to work on that
Powerful doesn't even begin to describe it
Your Top/Bottom Fire Emblem games
in General Fire Emblem
Posted
Top:
Thracia 776: Mainly due to the whole "so broken is balanced" kind of thing going on with the staves/scrolls and whatnot. I found the story and the overall feel of the game to be really good, knowing that all of the victories won in the game will be small victories and the army goes through a lot of tough crap and that you basically had an untrained, poorly equipped army vs a relatively well equipped army most of the time. I like how the game uses things aside from a bunch of high stat units to make the game tough, such as status staves, leadership stars (i.e. Cyas) and single RNG. Plus Leif is my favorite lord in the series, so there's that.
Awakening: So much stuff to do in this game. Thracia 776 was the most fun fire emblem in my opinion, but Awakening will just keep me busy the most out of any Fire Emblem so far. In between the high stat caps, streetpass, Lunatic and eventually Lunatic Plus, DLC, spotpass teams, double duel and all that, there's just so much stuff to do. I think that Pairing Up and Rallies are the best additions to the series, even if Rally Spectrum is completely broken. It helps that the writing was fan-friggin-tastic and the characters are very memorable, even the ones with a small amount of dialogue. The story was also amazing, though I would argue that Valm was definitely a weak point in the story.
New Mystery: This game didn't stick to the dated source material as much as Shadow Dragon, which is actually a good thing. I mean, Mystery of the Emblem was already a great game, but New Mystery took all that stuff and added in much higher difficulties, a better plot, and most importantly, the creation of the Avatar unit, even though it has broken both Fire Emblems it has been in. The only complaint I have about this game is that a good portion of the lategame units were there for "free silvers"
Bottom:
Shadow Dragon: This game would've been fine if it didn't stick to the really dated source material that much. The plot was shallow and the characters were extremely bland. This was fine in the NES days, though I'd argue that the fact that there were this many characters was great for its time, but nothing changed from the NES era to the DS era. It didn't help that the units were really imbalanced, since about half of the cast was terrible. However, the fact that this game had online battles made it fun and whatnot.
Binding Blade: I didn't like how the RNG usually determined how well you did due to the low accuracy of just about everything with the GBA evasion calculations. The game also liked to toss a bunch of crappy units in between each good unit, so the unit imbalance is strong in this game.
I'm really having a hard time determining the last of my bottom, since the pros and cons of each other FE don't really outweigh each other
