Kevin dosn't gamble, he is just an incredible hothead so makalovs skill would suit him more. Also since Kevin is using Axes gamble is of NO use of him. At last swords have accuracy. Gambling is indeed Makalovs habit, ask Marcia. Today I joked arround somewhere that the only thing i don't understand about the POR-Plot is how Marcia travels arround the entire continent just to meet her brother back at home. And the pirates in chapter 2 did know about her brother and hi habit to gamble so it seems he was in crimea as well. My theory is that at some point during development Makalov was supposed to be the one imprisioned. Perhabs he might have even been supposed to be the "Red Knight". Edit: Sorry about calling Kieran Kevin. I was going with the names in the german language setting.

Actually Radiant Dawn felt pretty unfinished to me, unlike Path of Radiance. (Well almost !Spoiler!: I was surprised that after Marcia was looking over the entire continent after her brother she found him right befor her homes door, begging for money. ) Well the story is awesome I like the entire theme about hatred (It was awesome to see Lethe and Jill change during the game but I better don't spoil too much here. Oh but in my honest opinion Deghinsea's best line is not "Hold,Hold, I say" but " Revenge is only another name for murder. ") and beeing born into a certain social status and lots of other good stuff You only have one team here by the way so you don't have to plan ahead to make units like Fiona in Radiant Dawn usable. There are no units you could call bad anyway. (Though Mia is mercilessly outshined by Zihark.) Oh and something important: The skills system is a bit different here. If you unequip a skill it's gone for good so be careful about using them. And Mastery Skills require Items called "Okkult"s. But they more ore less suck (exept Aether) and use up many, many skill points. Something that really pissed me off was that "Nintendo of America", (Ore whoever is responsible for this) made the Black Knight english voice sound like Darth Vader. What were they thinking? This dosn't make sense in the slightest. With BK english voice Ike should be able do find out about the Black Knights true identity as soon as he heres Zelgius voice saying: "You are the leader of this army? My name is Zelgius. I am in charge of..." Well, I think you got my point. But while we are talking about the versions difference: The NTSC and PAL versions are missing the Sword of Seals character illustrations. Oh and Maniac Mode is missing.

Well then, allow we to say mine: -The Strong (Too bad you don't get to hear its full awesomeness outside of the Sound Room. Why couldn't Skrimir last a little longer? ) -Hymn Of the Righteous -Stalking Menace (Alternate Version) [The overused Track which always starts in Part4 Endgame when Ike goes to a Villian rises his twohanded-sword with only ONE arm and points it at his opponent befor he says something like: "I am going to f***ing pwn you, pheeeeaaar meeee!!!." Too bad its not in the Sound Room :( ] -Time of Action (Not that I think the Apostels Army desperatly needed their own Battle Theme.) -A Grasping Truth -Road of Sorrow -Zelgius the Brave Radiant Dawns Tracks are all more ore less godly including the unused ones. It's hard to name only a few favourites.

What I meant is that the story seems like a whole mess to me, because it has been thrown arround to give Ike more screentime but because time was running out... well parts didn't really fit together. Thats of course just my theorie but it would explain a few things, like Tormod and his gang joining incredible late but not with Est-like state grows. I wondered why they just didn't join the Laguz Allianz. I think they might have been part of the diplomats who traveled to Sienne and then the Senators try to assasinate them ore something like that. I mean when Ranulf said a war against Begnion has started I was like "Why did nobody tell me. Why does this appear from on secound to another. And why is everyone so eager to throw 4 years of diplomaticy into the trash-can". Of course they had a good reason to go to war but I would have expected theme to hesitate at last a bit. And why does something like this happening offscreen, anyway. There would have been quite some room for additional missions to even things out between the characters... (In terms of balancing and not in terms of story) Well this was quite Off-Topic now, I am sorry. :( But I guessin the end I don't have enough information about these things to come to a real conclusion ore whatever Ranulf said to Ike after they safed the prisoners in Crimea in PoR so I guess I quit now with the hypotheses.

Yes, I was expecting him to appear as well. But more like Skrimir is in the finished game, beeing a NPC for most of the part and joing the actual team rather late. Ore that he and the Greil Mercenaries, (Ore at last a few of them) are working more in the background and having a few single missions spread arround the other parts befor they join the rest of the brawl. And I think his tale was kinda over. Not over enough to not enter the battle again but after he went from beeing a small mercenarie to becoming an charismatic leader and great hero of the Laguz and Beorc he just couldn't grow anymore characterwise. He should have been an important character of course but not the "sole true" main character of Radiant Dawn. ...oh my, I wrote a bunch of nonsense here...

It was a mistake on my part. If Pellas survives, the conversation between Sothe and Micky differs a bit. The dialog between Tauroneo and Pellas in 4-5 dosn't replace it, like my post suggested.

Sure, thats what i do but I think it just dosn't suit the maincharacter to become powerleveled like that. The same goes for the rest of the Dawn Brigade. They were introduced as the main characters of Radiant Dawn in the trailers and the manual but the greil mercenaries have the same amount of chapters + they start at secound tier. For me, the games main probleme is that someone decided to make Ike the main character again. And Thani is not a super weapon on the level of SS-Ranks, its more like a magic rapier.

Ups, sorry. Looks like the two conversations have nothing to do with each other. The one i mentioned happens in 4-5, I think.

Yes, but at last they have lots of time to reach that level. Micaiah only spends 5 chapters in secound tier befor she promotes again.

That surprises me. By the way, if Pellas survives, Tauroneo and he will talk in the info instead of Micaiah and Sothe and Tauroneo will also note that the mark on Pella arm faded a bit... I have the feeling the story was incredible rushed. <_< I mean why DOES the mark fade of all sudden ? Oh my, I think I just used the Edit-Button a dozen times.

Well, after visiting GameFAQs and this guide it seems like that the mark didn't disappear from Pellas arm after his dead. "Almedha: The mark is still on his wrist. My son's death was in vain! Micaiah: No! It can't be! Sothe, tell me that it isn't true... Almedha: Murderer! Give me back my son! You took my only son! Give him back! Bring him back to me!" So if Pellas still has it Micaiah shouldn't just get it out of nowhere. So i guess I stay with "picture scrapped during the development of the game".

sorry i was talking about part 3...I wished i had a safe left from the start of the tower... but anyway when was it that picture 21 was used? It's not in the tower since Micaiah is wearing the robe of her secound class.

I am almost sure it was the wrist of the dead Pellas and not Micaiahs. Edit: Of course I would not lay my hand in fire for this since I am not even close to that part.

Well... did the picture appear in part 4? I still can't remember seeing it. Edit: Not to mention I was just asking when this picture appeared and i am sorry for starting to argue about the mark, since this wasn't the point of my own question. I guess it's just the leftover of some story changes and there is no meaning to it.

They knew it because they destroyed the contract and killed the senator who signed it. Back when Pellas was alive all they had was a book Pellas found in a libary which was not soemething you could call a reliable source but in Part 4 Almedha already shared all the info she had about the Blood Pact. And she saw the work of the contract 20 years ago, and she also witnessed how Ashard stopped the curse. I think she is a more reliable source then this book of Pellas..... Does this CG perhabs only appear if you meet the conditions to recruit Lehran?

The mark we saw back then was this one. The mark just didn't disappear from the arm of the dead Pellas. Edit: Well, the entire Blood Pact thing seems pretty rushed to begin with. I can't belive Pellas signed a contract with his blood. I wouldn't do that even if my lawyer says the contract is ok, like Izuka said to Pellas.

If things would be like that everyone would have figured out the secret of Lekain and Pellas way quicker, so i bet they don't have one. Edit: Oh, and i am pretty sure Micaiah dosn't have the mark. Like I said I can't recall seeing this picture anywhere in the game outside of the soundroom. So I guess it was indeed scrapped during development if no one else recalls seeing it.

At first I thought it was a picture that got scrapped because of story changes during development but then i noticed that one of the CGs in the list on this site is marked with "(unused)" [which is the 32 by the way] and its not the one with the mark on micaiahs hand so i thought it would appear somewhere in the game.

Hi, I was curious about this CG. I can't remember seeing this im the two playthroughs i did. Do you know when this CG was used in the game ? (well, ecxept for the sound-room of course.)

I always had a hard time to belive that such an emotiondriven and naive girl was with 19 years the oldest of the three maincharacters. When I found out about here real age things made a lot more sense to me. I just don't understand why her age was changed anyway. It's not like there are any dirty scenes in Blazing Sword and the ages of other characters stayed unchanged. I wish NoA would finally stop to change things without a good reason since these things will always bite them in the rearend sooner or later, in the case of Lyns age this was with her trophy in brawl. This was "fixed" in the PAL version of brawl (As if you could call something fixed when it was done wrong on purpose...) Oh, about the poll? Well I go with Karla. She needs all support she can get considering there are not many units that come with a low level, bad bases, bad growths, bad avaibility and are so hard to recruit.

Ok, I admit it's not good at all to kill Naesala. I can't say Rolf is a good unit just because I decieded to play the game a bit differently by sending Reyson away which is obviously a decision that gets you no advantage at all. And even then, the best beat to win is probably to run to the boss and finish him of bevor Naesala is coming at you. But in my opinion Fire Emblem is a lot about useless satisfaction which is enough reason for me to take him down but without a Triangle-Attack your chances to even hit him are really slim.

Oh. I always that every Laguz has 2 classes... Anyway even with state-up items and bexp the from 90 exp to level up to make sure they raise the tight stats, there is almost no chance for them to cap anything. Mordecai might cap strength and HP but only with a seraph robe. Reyson can cap a few stats. He has at last an insanely high chance to cap skill. *YES*. Well, I agree, Laguz are probably not worth it... :( But I would be curious if Leanne and Nealuichi could technically get state-bonusses.

Great. I didn't knew that. Thank you for the fast reply. :)

I just readed the epilog scripts of Blazing Sword and noticed that I haven't seen some of them before. I mean the ones marked with "(Tactician absent)" Well, I have played through the game a few times but the tactican was always present. Do you know how to make the tactican absent? ( I don't like him anyway... he is a Gary Sue and has no character development. :) ) Edit: Perhaps by getting the worst possible rank ?

Might it be that Calil gets both her and Largos bonus but not both at the same time ? So if Calil caps speed in PoR she gets +2, if Largo caps speed she gets +2 and if both cap it she only gets +2 as well ? By the way: If you train Laguz in PoR... Do you need to get their stats high enough so they can cap them in their untransformed state ? And if they need can cap their stats at last transformed, does it matter if they are transformed at the end of the final chapter ? Not that they are likely to cap anything. If so they would technically get a +4 boost.
