Having Boons/Banes in and of itself is pretty fitting of gacha as is, and I could live with it even as free to play. But making any stat 4 can feel arbitrary at times, and for many they don't get a boon to compensate. Alright, I forgot, after I had checked it. Whoops. Refining weapons focusing on defences make sense with the intent of reducing offence's OPness. It's not only about fixing boons/banes.

Am I the only player who's sick of boon/banes being -/+4 on occasion? I feel like the way it's handled can be utterly crap. Because of the nature of summoning, you can't control if you have a unit who happens to have a -4 bane, which can literally screw units over (see: Lissa, whose Christmas form has a -4 bane in Speed. She gets no +4 boon, and if she gets that bane it pulls her down a BST group for arena. Regular Lissa has 3 stats that get -4 as a bane, and the only other two are Speed and Attack, which are kind of eh for a healer but getting -Atk is worse since 2.0.). You're kind of left without this knowledge without the internet, so you might not notice that it holds a unit back, even if only slightly. Because of how weapon forging works, if the -4 bane is attack or speed, then you can't really fix it with forging and mages just can't fix it regardless of what bane it is. Some have it as a balancing mechanism, sure. Rein has one for Defence, likely to prevent someone going for that as the obvious dump stat. That kind of stuff usually isn't as big a dealbreaker though, and a unit like Rein can get away with it. For others it's not like it makes that unit any more appealing, especially if they don't have a +4 boon to compensate. You might say it's the name of the game, but it takes control away from the player and I frankly am sick of it.

I wouldn't sell it too short. It's not like everyone died. Least, not in the end. See, rube's a word in the English language. I was trying to make a joke, but it obviously doesn't work here partly because I can't really link the meaning to something in the thread. Not yet at least. Like ticking a checklist. Another one for the LP in general. I really need to not reply when it's late. Those last two commonets of mine were pretty bad. This scene is a personal favourite. I mean, it reaffirms why I think Narcian is too dumb to be halfway decent, but still, some teen just leaves him so hurt in such a short time. I really don't kill him with her often enough. Again, oh you. I almost expect him to be some wraith by the end of the game. What the actual hell with that cavalier? Well, Dieck's not as popular as he once was, and a support square could be useful. Also, at least your losses haven't been substantial so far. Just more Merlinus death and two subpar units who are easily replaced.

....This new banner I swear. Ward filers and a bond skill with speed show up on Camilla. This would be like Tharja again..... But thankfully she's not that interesting to me. I have Elincia so I'm pretty good there. Azura on the other hand has Hone Fliers again.... Of course they do it. But it's more that she can dance that interests me.

Hey, SoV already dealt with this and Tatiana is certainly different from Nyna. As for favourite things about things about units I don't like and visa versa: Peri: She's more usable than quite a few Conquest units. Canas: Certainly not the winner for Dad of the year.

Managed to pull Chrissa recently, and thanks to the boost to exp, got her 24 levels in 3 warriors maps. She is pretty fun even with -Spd. So, if I want to use her for TT, what armours should I have besides Vamp!Henry (because of Armour March)? I have most of them barring the christmas seasonals, and Hector, BK, Arden and FrankenJakob are 5* while pretty much all the others are 4* barring Wendy with 4* +5.

Decided to try based off Canas. Lines here: Assessment here (It's a little off imo):

Passing a 5* Lachesis's skills onto Lissa (who I also promoted to 5* with -Atk) instead of Elise.

Well, let's see if this banner's like the last one 2 Blue, 1 each Red, Green, Colourless 5* Elise (FREE PULL WHAT? A dupe sure, but she has LtS, Recover + and I already have a suboptimal one. This one's got +HP/-Def. Is that worth it?), 4* Cherche (+Def/-Res. If only she were +Atk), 3* Hinata (Fury 3 exists at least), 4* Wendy (Units I keep pulling: Wendy. I'd love if that were Shanna. +HP/-Atk), 4* Abel (+HP/-Spd. Swordbreaker 3 it is) First pull. I'm honestly impressed. That's the second time.

.......Flying. Dancing. Green Unit. Alright, I guess Azura might interest me. The other three? Not at all unless their skills are something else. I already got shafted trying to get Tharmas and now this? Well, my orbs are not ready.

Found it, trying to figure out how to keybind it right now, but regular VBA might not have that option. VBA-M does, so might just go for that if I can install it. May be, but it does make sense why Wrys and Rube(n) are like that with each other though. As for Merlinus, could see that. Sadly. I think we're missing the idea that Narcian just sat there. I don't know what Brunya did, but Narcian likely didn't do crap. Redoing your own jokes. Like so many other LPs. Well, that's another tick. .....I might just steal this. This seems like the ticket. Watch this space. Well, I expect to see it often. Irregardless of your talents, Roy is not what I'd call combat ready. YOU MISSED JUST GOING "he's just Ruuder" Augh, you have to push for such rude puns man. Hopefully it does not cause seizures if it goes that far. (More continuity lockout) Also, only 2 Merlinus deaths? THOSE ARE ROOKIE NUMBERS.

Blue may be better than before, but it's a low priority as I have a Fjorm and Springcina and Bridelotte's not that interesting. So's Red, despite it having Ryoma as I have the other two. Colourless has Elise and I am concerned I'll pull her, despite it meaning LtS 3 but the other two are much more interesting for me. Green is where it's at this time. Gunnthra alone is more interesting than her sister, Ameila is insanely strong and even Carrom isn't a bad unit.

Alright, let's go! 2 Green, 1 each Red, Blue, Colourless 4* Fir (Obvious meh is obvious. +Atk/-Res, nearly optimal), 4* Peri (Once again, I locked up. She's Neutral), 4* Soren (Will he be good? +Def/-Res, nah), 5* Chrissa (I HEAR THOSE SLEIGH BELLS RINGALING! Oh look, a Focus Unit! Haven't seen one in a while! Don't need to pull green..... if I want to torture myself again. +Def/-Spd, Bit sad about that as she has a speed stat.), 4* Setsuna (+Atk/-Def. Think I have it already) THIS IS MORE LIKE IT. I might try for Tharja again, but only if I can face it again.

Makes sense when you look right out of Goldeneye but in 2D. (I'll stop now) 1. Alright, not something I usually think about doing as inexperienced as I am with using it for more than, well, playing games on it. 2. Clearly with the result. The faces are working out pretty well as well, though one is reminding me of Oboro's scary face. :P Much better than the applet I found, though that's more because the asset list on it is not as through as might be liked. 3. That is true. He's not hacking in any of his scenes, but he might be putting on a brave face in front of others. Never do see him on his own. 4. I'll get the images ready then maybe? :P 5. .... The poll setting it up is a from while back, and it should cover BB and BS. I've kind of been distracting myself from it, but I have made some progress. http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/316/708/ca1.jpg It's better than more bandits though. Right? Right? Honestly, I like this. It fits, after all that's happened since NM. Oh hey that's a neat way to show the growths. HP could stand to be better placed but I'm not certain where yet. ....To become the generic soldier for the rest of the game? I'll bite. This thing taunts me. It's happened a few times so far and every time it pisses me off. .....I could go into a rant as to why I actually hate BB Merlinus. I won't, but I'll say it's this shit right here. All game. Joy. Should I take bets on how long, or is that inappropriate? Heyoh! With that, Merry Christmas to you anyway.

4* Fred on a Cav team will have to do, but I have plenty of better units to help him too. Should level up the +Atk/-Res one though and merge onto him. Nowi would be good on a backup team, especially with M!Marth if need be. Course if I manage to get an armour that'll be priority one.

Infernal actually made me restart (unlike Lunatic where M!Robin wrecks most of the map, and it was easy to kill Navarre with himself or Alfonse). Took a team of M!Robin, Nohrzura, Julia and Eirika to clear, and that required the QP seal on M!Robin. Julia utterly wrecks the manakete once M!Robin breaks Aegis, while Eirika with Swordbreaker and Fury can tank Navarre well.

Thanks man in the red suit! (aka Navarre) 3 Green, 1 each Red, Blue 3* Stahl (OF COURSE. Least I don't need to promote him for jack), 4* F!Corrin (Wrong avatar unit. +Atk/-Spd. Bit of a shame), 3* Frederick (Already have one trained up. THIS ONE IS +ATK/-RES. AHHHH I MIGHT NEED TO TRAIN THIS ONE UP!), 3* Barst (Reposition fodder's nice), 3* Gunter (Hone Cav might be neat, but I swear the game's trolling me since 2.0 with all the 3* units) 4% focus units and a -Atk Lachesis. This is one stingy banner.

It matters if you are keeping an ear out. So if you're listening for it, it'll be obvious if the sounds that play on certain actions don't make sense. Or if the song playing doesn't match. If not, well it can kind of not matter as much as other things take your focus.

Finally trashed SAO. I mean, the files I had. That I didn't think about trashing because the HD they were on hasn't been plugged in much for a while. I might just feel a bit less tacky today.

Well this is a christmas surprise! I even missed the announcement post! HOW DID YOU EVEN GET THESE SHOTS? Well that explains why he wants to take Pherae. Man's got some noble position after all! I have to give credit to you, that's actually pretty good over all. Also, probably a bad time to say it, but someone put a GBA character creator (which uses spliced stuff to be honest) up on the FE subreddit, it doesn't seem too bad and it likely would have been useful for this. Too late now. Edit: Tried it, certainly more limited than I expected. You do you. Not surprising when you're in another country for your education. And are Roy. (I could probably do with not insulting Roy too much) Eh, if they're like Seth they'll be fine having it because the can solo the game anyway! This Marcus not so much. Yeah I kind of get it now. I always was a bit weirded out by BB Eli- AAAAAAAAAA! MY EYES! I FEEL LIKE THIS IS INTENTIONAL! This needs to be a meme now. (I should probably get on with the axes playthrough I'd said I'd do...)

.....So it's a two week TT with the winter units as the 40%? SURE IS THAT'S LOVELY! UNITS THAT WON'T BE AVAILABLE FOR HALF OF THE TT AS THE ONLY 40% UNITS, AS WELL AS MANY PLAYERS BEING SHAFTED BY THE FACT IT'S UNITS FROM A LIMITED BANNER IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND THEN THERE'S JUST BEGIN HONEST AND SCREWING TOBIN OUT OF A MERGE! Okay I can't take that too seriously. BUT STILL RIGHT? IT'S A TWO WEEK TT AS WELL, MEANING THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG GRIND THAT'S JUST NOT FUN! (Cries in 5* Lachesis)

Alright, what misery is it THIS time? 2 Red, 1 each Blue, Green, Colourless 4* Caeda (I've been looking for Fortify Fliers! +Atk/-HP, possibly better than +Atk/-Def)

Could probably pull for any of these. 2 each Red, Blue, 1 Green (No Jaffar then) 4* Sheena (What is my luck with constantly getting her lately? +HP/-Spd, is it better than +Def/-Spd?) Back to trying to get enough orbs to not get Christmas units.

Probably more unpopular because A route > B route and Elphin not being a cute girl (though he could try. :P). Though I don't really worry about either character too much. Also imoRoy's Journey sucks (Sorry, me beating a dead horse) Might be unpopular to think that Genealogy probably needs to be designed closer to other titles in the series if it wants to fix a lot of its cracks.

S-rank Brave Lyn is too good for me not to keep using. I have her up to 60 Atk and 50 Spd with Hone Cav, discounting her Eliwood support. It's beautiful.
