Are 1 on 1 fights even possible to make good?
From a purely narrative perspective, of course its good. You and your rival duking it out for supremecy, like in TLP. Or for revenge, like Decay of the Fangs. Or for survival, in like Conquest...
But are these even good fights? Is Fire Emblem a good medium to have 1 on 1 fights?
It seems to me that the most strategy you can pull off is having the enemy unit just be way stockier than you and force you to run away and heal then come back. Or in the case of conquest, have Ryoma just scale to whatever level you're at and deal piss damage to each other.
I feel like one on one fights falls in the same category as stealth in FE as in its really difficult to pull off well and the mechanics of FE itself just don't lend well to those kinds of maps.
Thoughts?
