  1. Swearing doesn't mean anything about your moral character though
  2. This is a bad topic It's not an okay thing to judge people based on looks or to call fictional characters ugly unless that's the intent like Gharnef I take offense to anyone saying Meg especially So my answer is probably Gharnef because he barely looks human
  3. agreed lol being passive aggressive solves nothing
  4. I enjoy Sacred Stones, but you'd have to pay me to play the boring Elibe games lol. I really enjoy SNES, Tellius, DS, and 3DS, but I'd say that 3DS is probably my favorite era. Maybe Tellius.
  5. I also sort of agree but just not with you being offended because people are "attacking" you for liking 2hu i mean, 2hu is pretty low hanging fruit anyway
  6. only Touhou and real life sports allowed sorry
  7. yeah Lloyd and Linus are where it's at tbh. Especially Lloyd
  8. How do Fates's villains "make it a joke?" Legitimately curious. The villains don't have interesting motives, but they're entertaining. That's literally the only thing I look for in an antagonist, and I'd say that Fates succeeded. Their for the evuls attitude is far more interesting than if they all had boring sob stories.
  9. I wish I had this, but Pokken took all of my money. I am playing the Wii version right now though and I'm having fun. It's not as perfect as Skyward Sword with it's perfect visuals or music or items, but it's still really fun. These are both bad ideas.
  10. I can't wait to see Setsuna's conversation it makes me so happy and whoever called Setsuna a one-dimensional stoner needs to realize that that's absolutely perfect already
  11. Setsuna and Subaki getting images made my day omg say what you want about Takumi or whoever, but I think we know the two who really deserved it
  12. lol 1. Rennac 2. Innes 3. Keaton 4. Kaden 5. Odin 6. Kaze 7. Chrom 8. Silas 9. Ike 10. Kieran
  13. Yeah, Metal Face or Hades style antagonists are my favorite things ever. That's the kind of antagonist I want from things, FE too. Of course, my favorite villain ever in Yin Yarn because he's so comical. I love Team Rocket, yet they're a joke. It might be good to say that I love comical villains just as much as, say, Metal Face. Sympathetic villains just don't grip me in the same way.
  14. whether or not the post is good does not excuse you for calling another human being cancerous
  15. The avatar is the prince of a neutral kingdom caught in between a large conflict. The neutral characters would be our Jeigan, Anna, Jake (as an Archer), and then some other characters. One kingdom is filled with the most generic FE trope characters ever. Think FE1/3/6's casts. Of course, give them some interesting character twists. The main kingdom is your obvious good, but their main ally is basically Ilia + Frelia. They are the good side, and the blue haired sword lord and his older, blue haired cleric sister arethe MCs. Classes are all classes from the NES and GBA FEs. Think Cavalier, Cleric, Pegasus Knight, Archer, Fighter, and Mage. One kingdom is the opposing kingdom and they have the Hoshidan classes along with classes from Tellius, Awakening, or some new classes. The kingdom is mainly Western with some Eastern lands as their primary ally. They are invading because the other kingdom worships a different deity than they do. The MC is an older woman who rides a Wyvern and has blonde hair. Classes include Ninja, Dark Mage, Troubadour, Griffon Rider, Apothecary, and Oni Savage. The neutral route involves picking to take up arms against both sides, but both sides end up joining the Avatar gradually until they unite against the great threat, an ancient evil beneath the earth that both deities were meant to stop. The idea is that we'd be able to convince members from both sides gradually, with the Lords from the other games joining near last. Maybe a new lord for this route? She'd be someone who'd be on both other routes but only becomes important on the third route.
  16. I'm pretty sure I did, and even then, just look at Magvel. We know literally nothing about the continent's history and the villains don't have very interesting motives except for Lyon. Valter, Riev, and Selena are typical FE tropes and I loved them for it. What you ask for isn't depth. I'm interested in gameplay depth, but trying some overdramatc story would be a bad thing. Fates's story hit it out of the park for me as a whole. Some missteps, but Birthright in particular has an excellent story.
  17. Kellam having Shade seems interesting until you realize that having a Knight with Shade is actually the worst thing ever to use war cleric!kellam too op then
  18. Phrased it weirdly, but I think the kind of scenarios you presented are laughable. Depth does not mean that we have to have sweeping tapestry stories with chess master villains at every turn. Depth comes in many flavors, and I think Seliph is one of the best lords both design and character wise. Keep in mind that FE4's main antagonist was literally a Gharnef who basically kicked puppies if the child hunts were any indication. Doesn't make FE4's story bad to have Fire Emblem's wonderful cliches. You say that Gray morality is key, but it's highly overrated. Everyone desires it, but it's not nearly as interesting as for the evuls villains who are in it for glory or even fun. Try to name me a FF antagonist who utilises gray morality, but yet every one of them is beloved. Sephiroth didn't try to get the Black Materia and summon Meteor because he is actually a good person who does bad things because he must. Kefka didn't create the World of Ruin because it helped save another human being. If you think that human motivations or whatever are what works best for FE, I don't think we played the same games. FE is at it's best with absurd, evil old men villains, a grand enemy kingdom, and a naive sword lord. Ethics didn't really show up outside of Jugdral or Tellius at all. Tragedies aren't really a thing either. Even the Battle of Belhalla doesn't mean as much when it turns out that only like six people actually died and the rest either escaped or got turned to stone. I cannot understand why people want stories from FE that would much better fit Game of Thrones or Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics. All of those exist on their own and away from FE. I want my simple, sweet plots from every game except for Conquest. Even Tellius and Jugdral used a lot of FE's great story tropes. Without it's tropes, FE wouldn't be the same at all. I need my shota wind mages, my edgy myrmidons, my gladiator mercenaries, my dragon lolis, young cleric girls, Jeigans, Christmas Cavaliers, evil sorcerers, ancient evil god/dragons beings, and naive blue-haired sword lords. And that's how FE has been since it's inception.
  19. Protagonist: put Marth, Seliph, and Eirika in a blender and hit frappe. I want a blue haired sword lord from an innocent country who is forced to campaign across the continent and then goes to fight the big evil country. They defeat the evil king, but then have to face an evil dragon man. Deuteragonist: idk, something similar to Robin with slightly less importance. Villain: an emperor from another country who's started a war and an evil dragon behind the scenes are what I want from villains. I also want a Paladin who has way too much loyalty and dies for it. Maybe an axe crazy Wyvern Lord? I legitimately don't want depth lol. I want Shadow Dragon style stories because that's what FE does best. This may sound like satire, but stories like Birthright or Shadow Dragon or FE6 are my favorites. Just because X villain has no motive doesn't mean that they're worthless. I love villains who are evil just for the sake of it. It's fun to be bad in fiction tbh, so who needs a tragic backstory when you can be Kefka Palazzo
  20. I should be over all the butterflies I'm into you (I'm into you) And baby even on our worst nights I'm into you (I'm into you) Let 'em wonder how we got this far 'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all Yeah, after all this time I'm still into you
