Jill, Titania. And admittedly, Micaiah is also pretty nice looking. I guess I am just a sucker for the darker red shades. Maroon, Crimson or whatever their names in English are. Of course, Jill and Micaiah benefit from me considering them great characters. And Jill is an extremely admirable individual. So that helps too. She also did a good job showing how side characters can have character development during the story and how you can tie support conversations into that. Also, info conversations. This things don't really extend to Titania. But she is a cool enough lady to get my vote anyway.

Of course not. Beauty is also a matter of wearing as little tissue at your skin as possible.

I vote for Echidna. ...well, I have to make this post since she isn't on the list.

The idea is definitely great. I often get he impression that I am the only person I know, who either can see the 3D or doesn't get major headaches from it.

I would say Radiant Dawn. Sure, other games have good tunes too. But often I felt myself feeling that they weren't used properly. Like FE4 playing painfully upbeat music for the first few chapters playing while armies are slaughtering each other. Radiant Dawn had great songs and used them effectively. The music went a long way to make events memorable. Like with the final chapters. They got a different battle preparations theme to really emphasize what is at stake. (whose idea was it that battle preparation screen in FE12-13 should have elevator music playing anyway?) The unnatural, peaceful sounding base theme in chapter 4 also comes to my mind. Also, tons of great character leitmotifs. Pelleas' theme and the arrangement of Elincia's theme stand for me in particular. Elincia's theme kicking in during her speech to Ludveck was particular awesome. And to think they made a battle arrangement from the peaceful Goldoa theme for the fight against Dheginsea, damn. It really nails all the emotions and the entire weight of that fight.

You are my hero. Edit: Blasted ninjas

Man, this talk of Zelda brings back memories. Even as a kid, I was irritated how Ganondorf had this "indestructible prison crystal with infinite range" spell but it never occurred him to use it on the hero. Instead, he plays tennis against him.. Then in Wind Waker. They decide to leave Zelda under the ocean for no reason. Words cannot describe how underwhelmed I was to find out that Ganondorf napped her. I have to say: I did notice back then that Zelda got napped twice right after she put on the pink dress. It just seemed so silly. Like the dress was cursed. And Tetra's sudden personality shift was nothing short of creepy. And that game got a sequel: Phantom Hourglass. And with that game, I was nothing short of pissed. Knowing that this was going to be a Wind Waker sequel, I was hoping we would be seeing more of the pirates. I really liked them and Link ended up traveling with them. So they had to have more of a presence. But of course, Link and Tetra get separated from them in 2 minutes and the pirates are never seen again until the ending cutscene. But hey, at least Tetra was still around... except that she got kidnapped and the only thing she does is to scream "Link, save me!" literally every time the game is loaded. Until she gets rescued, except she was turned into a statue before Link got to her. So she spends the rest of the game as an inanimate object in the ships cargo hold. I still don't get why the game was even a Wind Waker sequel If the whole game takes place in another world and Link's ties to his own world don't matter at all. It could have been just another Link in another world as usual. The only thing Tetra's inclusion has over any other NPC or object was that a player would have already an attachment to her... But at least for my part, that attachment just meant that I was pissed that she technically wasn't in the game. Edit: I am sorry for pestering you with that pointless Zelda rant. If I might try to retroactively give this post a purpose, I would like to claim that all these games' stories would have better Zelda wasn't kidnapped. it was always predictable, annoying and silly. The problem I see with the trope in general is that there is no reason to care about a character that isn't developed. And a character who is developed, is simply wasted in that position. Edit: Okay, I really can't save that one. I am really sorry for the trouble. Move along please.

Why would that be bullshit when you don't even need either of these things to beat the game? I mean, it's a roleplaying game. You make choices and they affect how things go down the line. As long as missing something doesn't mean you hit a brickwall at the end, I don't see a problem. Edit: I would also like to contest that the game is dependent on luck. Honestly, I consider it pretty much the least luck based game in the series. Because your average enemy simply isn't that strong. That means the biggest luck factor in the series is rather weak in this game = the level up gains. If as many as 2-3 of your units manage to grow into powerhouses, you are fine. That's all you need to take on the enemies champions or the particular dangerous areas. Contrast that with NMyster or Awakening: Because every single grunt turns into a juggernaut, those who gets unlucky with their levels simply won't be able to stay in the game. Period. And that is not something you have any control over. It's as luck based as it gets. I grant that Dalshim in Manster and Reinharts drawbridge are just bullshit. But otherwise the game is pretty straightforward or allows time to adapt to the changing circumstances. Enemy criticals can be completely negated with scrolls. Movement stars are few and far in between. So it's not too much to ask to take into account that they might trigger. So far the most part, it rewards proper planning and punishes carelessness. And I say that this is how difficulty in a strategy game should be.

Well, the first war is probably called the "War of Darkness" for a reason. Still, the SNES original used dark colors as well, so I always thought they wanted to be consistent with that.

There is grinding but using it to the point where Donnel has everything but E-Rank in a different class would allow him to break the game like a twig. Besides, LTC and efficiency have nothing to do with not wanting to waste time on generic maps.

The censorship doesn't just happen to those deliberately using dirty words. For Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded's Avatar mode, I edited my profile quote to the fancy "Justice will prevail". But the game displayed it as "??stice will prevail". Which is kinda funny because unlike every other letter combination that is forbidden, "ju" only gets censored when used in the word justice. The game is paranaoid, it's probably more likely to get a censored sentence then a working one. But maybe it's just the EU version which is so insane, since it has all the various languages to consider. Also, according to Re:Coded, Mistress is a dirty word but not Master. Which explains while KH even refers to a lady like Aqua as Master Aqua. Maleficient refers to herself as Mistress. But that's because she is evil, I guess.

Well, given it's size, the Gamecube is way healtier then the N64. And it didn't stop it from having a handle to strike down the wicked. I should try that sometime. It's just that I don't have a 360. Besides, the Gamecube has been around for longer and I find it hard to break habits.

As much as I love the 64 for being the first console I owned and all the great games... Visually, the thing was just a massive abomination. And it doesn't even have a handle. If you try to hit someone with it, you are likely to hurt you arm or letting it slip and hurt your feet. At least you can do some cool stuff by slowly pulling out the cartridge.

No it doesn't. The original Mystery of the Emblem for the Super Famicom (SNES) featured an abridged version of the first Fire Emblem game called "book 1". But not this one. What the game does feature, are remakes of the BS Fire Emblem chapters. They are unlocked after getting through the prologue. They were originally available via an addon for the Super Famicom.

The 3DS looks just like the DS Lite. Of course the 3DS was available in that amazing dark red tone. I so love that color.

Tsss... the tastes of the peasants on these forums are incomprehensible for one as I. I've had enough of this foolishness. Those childish games are beneath me. I shall waste no more time on these fools and will instead pursue an activity more worthy of my valuable time.To the Forum Games sub forum!!! Also, it's the Gamecube. Goshdarnit!

My birthday is four days away from Severa. Which means that it's only four days away from the release date of Monshu. That's kinda sweet.

Nothing beats the Gamecube. it's such a slim, sexy, durable beast. It even has a crip for easy transportation. And it makes it easy to use the console as a weapon. The main menu design with the spinning logo was also stylish. Heck, even the logo cutscene at the beginning was stylish. And the sounds during the logo and when opening the menu are just pure pleasure to the ears.

Because Sephiran said that Greil's death was the result of Zelgius' own goals. And given how close the two are, I am pretty sure Lehran would know if someone else ordered him to do it. Not to mention that the phrasing implies that the Black Knight wasn't even following Ashnard's orders at the time. Which would make sense, since it was Petrine who was ordered to chase the mercs. Sephiran: Sir Ike, I'm afraid your father's death was an unfortunate result of Zelgius's own personal agenda. I did not order Sir Gawain killed. However, I must admit that I did ask him to seize the medallion and hand it over to King Ashnard.

Definitely the Generation 2 Rival known as "???". Generation 2 really know how to up the ante with pretty much anything and the Rival is no exception. I mean, Blue was just a prick. Silver stepped up the game by being a criminal and extremely hostile. And he gets some sweet character development along the way. And it was pleasantly unexpected that he wasn't the champ. Stuff like that helped to keep things fresh. After dealing with these douchebags, the Gen 3 Rivals were pretty boring by comparison.

Personally I don't even feel like holding Lehran's plan against him. It is at least understandable that someone would believe that killing everyone is the only way for the people of Telius find salvation. That way no one would have to suffer anymore. It could be considered merciful. Though, I wish we would have heard what Zelgius thinks about that issue... I focused on the thing with Greil simply because I don't see how these actions could be defended at all. He killed people and ruined lives just because of his own ego. Don't forget that he was stupid enough to believe that contract signed with blood was normal. In the extended script, Lekain even notes how stupid that is, Lekain: Would an ordinary loan contract really require a signature in blood? Did you truly not suspect a thing?

Well, it's a lost cause but I guess I throw another vote to Briggid. I mean, Briggid is pretty awesome. She has a strong sense of justice and the power to enforce it. She is a bit too aggressive for my liking. But that's not really a bad thing as you don't end up being a prick. She defiantly cooled down a bit over time anyway. And without getting any less badass. I mean, she did an awesome job to protect the area around Fiana from the chaos of war and the rule of the empire. And she protected the Leaf gang as well. And she reached entire new levels of awesome. She is so badass that her wrath managed to get Reidrick to piss his pants in feat. Well, granted Reidrick IS a coward. But she was trapped in an arena and Reidrick was protected by the Manster military, a sword that even Holsety can't overcome AND one of the most powerful Mages of the Loptu church. And she didn't seem blinded by rage. I think that if Berdo didn't have that cheap "no saving throw" spell, nothing in Manster would have stopped Eyvel to avenge Mareeta. So I say he was right on the money. After all the things she did, I always find myself incapable not to save her in the end. Even if that chapter is a massive pain. Yeah, I know that has nothing to do with her looks but... all the woman in fiction look kind of the same to me anyway. So stuff like that makes her come across as more attractive by comparison.

Oh, I wouldn't quite say that. I find the question somewhat interesting. Sure, the script doesn't want us to dislike either one. But for my part, I have little sympathy for Zelgius. He murdered his mentor and threatened the live of both of his kids. And the rest of the mercenaries didn't exactly take it well either. Shinon and Gatrie left immediately, for starters. He casually ruins the lives of so many people... All all of that just to feel the thrill of a fight that forces him to his limits. Honestly, if you even get someone like Mist to say "I'll kill you!", you should know that you've gone too far. This guy's priorities are epically messed up. Pelleas on the other hand didn't do a bad thing ever. His actions in part 3 where for the sake of the people under his authority. It is his responsible to keep his people save at all costs. You can definitly blame him for his stupidity. But he always tried to fulfill his responsibilities to his people to the best of his abilities.

Probably Trickters. I love to be able to help friends by healing them and kicking the ass of those who hurt them in the first place. I don't use War Monk because besides the female version being so visually unappealing, having Axe's as a weapon is kinda impractical because the last thing i want to happen when sending my frail healer to the front line, is that they miss their target and have to eat a counter. Not to mention that Tricksters can effectively fight immediately while War monks can only scratch enemies with inaccurate Bronce Axes. But even an E-Rank in staffs gives Healing and Teleport right of the bat.
