  1. I thought the overarching theme was: Nothing is ever what it seems. Theres good and bad in everyone, and choices are what determine the outcome. Do you choose to cut a bloody swath in order to liberate the world? Or do you choose to be consumed by vengeance and wish things could just go back to the way it was when you were happy? Or do you choose to find out just why the world is the way it is, and strive to knock down societal walls? Finally, do you choose to find your own identity and why you were put in the world and what that means? 

    /shrug 

    that was my takeaway from this game's story and i gotta say, i really love it. I finally got what i wanted in an FE game.

    She's Daenerys Targaryen if she was written competently and without an uncomfortable white savior complex

    Book!Dany is really competently written though? Agreed about the latter part but one can argue she was written with that complex in order for her to double down on her motives. But....this isnt an ASOIAF discussion, despite some rather striking similarities.

    But unlike Dany, El's character and decisions are not based on a coin flip

    But Dany's decisions are not decided by a coin flip. Ignore the show, cuz Edelgard's similarties have more to do with how Daenerys is originally wriiten. Edelgard is extremely driven. Her "this is the path i must walk" is literally a nicer way of saying "Ill take back whats mine with fire and blood." One could argue that Edelgard is actually motivated by a more moral place. Shes trying to rid the world of crests and the church to cease divides. Not claiming anything that was taken via conquest. She explicitly states shes warring against the institution of the church and not the faith. (Cant really blame her there. Rhea is....A Thing) Edelgard and Daenerys both have their decisions based on ideals.

    I haven't played the game yet but from what I've seen and read she seems a lot like Daenerys Targaryen.  Her time skip outfit reminds me of Albedo from Overlord.  I'm on the fence whether I like her or not due to these similarities. 

    She is Daenerys with the serial numbers filed off. No question. Just more intelligent and more willing to get her hands dirty. Really dirty. And i really cant blame her. I went Golden Deer first and still found myself wanting to punch Rhea in the face. I do like Edelgard (and i like Dany too, there it is. Yes, even after that. ) and on other routes, shes a good antagonist. This is the sort of character i wanted in FE as a main playable lord for a long time.

    What a weird thing to worry about. "When can I start disliking this game?"

    No joke. Why can't people just come to their own conclusions? Are we gonna start whinging about optional stuff again? l o l

    The pacing of this game's plot is atrocious, especially in Edelgard's route. 

    What do mean by this? Too fast or too slow? 

  5. -DIALOGUE TREES OMGGGGG

    -Byleth not really having set text like Robin and Corrin. 

    -Being able to teach my guys to do anything i want them to. 

    -Hogwarts esque monastery school with lots to see. Its h u g e. 

    -Character interaction at its best for FE. 

    -World building all over the place. 

    -Recruiting guys from other houses. In your face, Black Eagles! Im up in yo base stealin yer doods

    -How supports look and work. 

    -battalions

     

    and finally:

    Hey. That's pretty good. Though I'd make a few adjustments. I'd replace Vantage with QR, Threaten Spd with Atk Smoke or a drive/spur and Atk Smoke with Close Def.

    Hes got qr2  he can run his Goad when im doing horse teams, and if i get another Kaze, mayhaps he gets atk smoke  i could run the close def seal on him  (i hate how expensive qr3 is)

    Wow, it seems that a lot lf people (like a 15%) is choosing the wrong answer today (the lime green stone, which is Tiki’s Breath of Fog, not Great Flame)

    Well la tee freaking da. Arent we little sir smarty pants. Some of us can't remember exactly which stones are specific colors. Or, answered the question right before bed without wanting to boot up their game. You really shouldn't be all like that if people get a wrong answer. :dry:

  7. Do you like building scrub units, freebies, vanilla Jakobs, and generally what is considered a less than good unit? 

    I for one, find it hella fun to take a unit like Jagen and make him work. (Im currently working on one) i have a rather ridiculous Stahl i built from the ground up. He can really ruin someone's day. I hope to merge him more when i get more Stahls. I also have a Florina that does some stupid shit. I dont have enough to +10 her yet, but soon~~

    show off your bad/low tier unit projects here if you want!

    Actually, there tend to be quite a few johns around these parts when it comes to GHBs and the like. I see plenty of people complain that they can't do Infernal mode because they don't have the right units or whatnot, and they'll claim it's literally impossible for them. This can be frustrating, especially if you've done some work trying to help them get a clear.

    This is how I feel, I want to help but when I get "oh I hate x unit" or "I don't have the same IVs and I won't use SI or seals" I get very annoyed and I have decided I won't offer advice anymore on GHBs.

    One in particular stands out, and how!

    i do think the term "john" is too umm..out there and vague for this kind of player. Just call them for what they are: Whiners. 

    I will try to replicate strats when im getting pounded by ghbs/lbs/bhbs. Ill watch videos my friends have made, or ftp vids. Sometimes i just dont have the patience so i just shrug and move on or try again when i feel like it. I dont get the point in whinging about stuff like that. Id expect even ftp players whove been playing for a year or more to have a good to decent roster of units.
