I picked Japanese because I'm studying it and hearing/reading it gives me more exposure and practice. I don't dislike the English dub though, except for Hinoka's voice which doesn't seem to be growing on me at all... but that's not enough to make me hate the English dub.
I feel like making a Fire Emblem game on the handheld would be the safest option. It's more accessible by far on handheld and personally, I prefer it more.
Charlotte for me. I disliked her the moment I heard about her character, but after seeing her supports and getting to know who she is, I've changed my tune.
Yeah I have done this as well. I agree with how invested it makes you. I haven't thought about writing a log along with it... That seems like a fun idea.
Ryouma - 25
Marx - 25 Camilla - 22 Hinoka - 21 Aqua- 20 Kamui - 19 Leon - 18 Takumi - 17 Sakura - 15 Elise - 12 Not sure what the ages are but those are my headcanons regarding that matter.
That one line made me go "wtf do you mean Leon?!"
Orochi is okay imo. She can hit hard and accurately but don't expect her to double anything (other than Generals maybe). I don't have much to say on Hayato though.
I'm pretty sure that the game tells you if the unit can move or not when you check their movement stat. That being said, they are units that will move while paired up in the game.
Hoshido is my choice. The characters I don't like are, Tsukuyomi and Tsubaki. Tsukuyomi is a brat and if it weren't for Syalla, I'd never use him. As for Tsubaki, I find his personality very irritating.
I've started to do it more often (especially on higher difficulties). It helps me plan things ahead since I can get an idea of how most battles will go.
