[Dating sim?]

When I was on the bus going home, I was talking to my friend about FE13. I told him about the pairing mechanics and how they had a huge effect on the gameplay, and he laughed, shook his head, and bluntly called it a dating sim.

What do you guys think?

Well if you only mentioned the supports then it kinda does sound like one

But the rest of the game definitly isn't a dating sim (duh)

[Is Donnel Worth it?]

Paralogue one is being a bitch and I'm not sure if recruiting Donnel is really worth it...

Yes he is. He's brilliant once you can get him past lvl 7/8 and has brilliant growth stats thanks to his skill Aptitude.

Don't get him if you're doing lunatic mode though because it really is a pain in the ass on that difficulty
