Ein Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Marcus/Marcus Or... 9/10 He's that guy who saves your ass even when you don't want him to because he's just that nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinRPGamer Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Well I know for a fact that i'm not one of the previleged so... 8.5/10 This game made me remember what Jeigan characters are for. Edited March 5, 2012 by Gmls710 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recondite Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Admittedly, Marcus is a Jeigan, he's a god when he joins, and in HM is just about literally necessary for quite a while. That said, as has been pointed out, he is not an especially good Jeigan and becomes bad pretty quickly, and using him long-term just isn't an option. Tempted to exercise a point of bias... but I won't. 9/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Marcus. That guy who raped all the things in the prequel. Pros: REALLY handy in early game shenanigans. Horsie. Good for utility. Manly old guy. Cons: Unlike his younger self, he kinda peters out after a while. Other guys do it better later in the game. (YO PERCIVAL!) Growths are ehh. Marcus in this game is not as good as Marcus in the other game. Hes still pretty handy to have early on though. Before you promote your cavs or before guys like Percy show up. Zealot also does pretty much the same thing. So like, when hes around and junk, hes alright. 7.5/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Marcus/10 ...Honestly he's a 9.5 but this is too good an opportunity to miss and besides he gets a full bias point OH RIGHT HE'S NOT FE7 MARCUS SO I SHOULD ACTUALLY JUSTIFY THIS He runs around the game KILLING the FUCK out of everyone, but this eventually runs out. Still, for the time that he IS KILLING the FUCK out of everyone, nobody else does so nearly as well. Plus, pony and ranks. It's the little things that make the difference.

Integrity Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'm going to stop confirming or denying Marcus/10 votes and just say who got it and who didn't at the end of the day~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 So...since you already confirmed mine, can I rejustify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balcerzak Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Basically want to echo everything that Toothache said, but also mention that robed 10/1 Thany is very comparable to where Marcus is likely to be at the start of Western Isles (weapon ranks excluded), so in addition to Zealot he also faces some additional competition from her. However, I still feel Marcus is a solid utility, for promoted move alone, up until ch16 gives you as many promotion items as you could possibly need, at which point he's definitely retiring. I think he gets 8.5/10, when all is said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeCrush980 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Marcus is great for his earlygame, but he simply isn't comparable to units that can actually stay good for the entire game. 7.5/10 Edited March 6, 2012 by OrangeCrush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliban of Sycorax Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Unlike his FE7 incarnation, there are two units that join, promoted, that can arguably do Marcus' job better than he can. One of those gets HM bonuses, so... He is still invaluable for earlygame until Alan and Lance promote. 8.9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNG Princess Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) I don't like Marcus 0/10 ;w; he's Marcus what else can I say? I hate his lategame and I personally prefer to use my resources on someone I like better and have him as back-up after the early chapters. 7.5/10 for his great earlygame. I wish I would of rated Roy! He'd be a few points lower 030 Edited March 6, 2012 by Queen_Kittylincia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culpa Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Marcus is the unit who makes early game tolerable. He makes it possible for Roy and Co to level. His base stats leave him just short of one rounding in the starting chapter making him an amazing jeigan, since he will leave a walking pile of exp for someone else. He has the best combat until around chapter 8 since by that time you now have Zealot, and Alance should be as good on anything that doesn't need to be silver lanced. He contributes in combat as much as most people until around chapter 12. After chapter 12 his lack of growths starts to hurt him and will soon be replaced by Percy. Since i can not justify an 8 because of only decent mid game and bad late game he gets a 7.5/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blasied Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Probably the most balanced early game prepromote in an official FE game. Fucking godsend in early game (because Alance haven't gotten up to speed yet) and remains worthy of a deployment slot at least until you get Percival. Then he dwindles a bit but his contributions shall always be remembered for without Marcus, Roy would have died like the prat he is. 9.4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Seth/10 He's showing his age here, but even that's not enough to stop him completely. Well, until something better shows up. Which isn't for a while. 8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Low growths of course mean Marcus won't last forever. He can be replaced as early as chapter 7 as a combat unit, but ideally you'd use him and Zealot together, at the very least for ferry duty as well as leaving plenty of kills for the other units. One critical flaw that Zealot has that Marcus doesn't have is that Zealot's base accuracy is significantly worse than Marcus's (7 points worse at base, and moreso if Marcus has gained skl). When you're commonly using weapons as inaccurate as Hand Axes and Javelins, that 7% adds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frat_tastic Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 These threads just end up confusing me. They fluctuate so much between "way too serious, lol I'm not counting your vote" and "lol joke votes are funny I'm not counting it but MAYBE I AM" that I'm too afraid to vote anything for fear of it arbitrarily being thrown out.

a.f.k.a. Howard Hughes Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Man I love this guy. Amazing early gäme und still good early mid.

Integrity Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) These threads just end up confusing me. They fluctuate so much between "way too serious, lol I'm not counting your vote" and "lol joke votes are funny I'm not counting it but MAYBE I AM" that I'm too afraid to vote anything for fear of it arbitrarily being thrown out. Except that I'll tell you if it gets thrown out and it's never arbitrary and you get a chance to explain your vote if I don't like it. To use an example from the FE8 ones, I accepted some horseshit ratings from Banzai that I never would agree with because he explained his reasoning well enough. EDIT2: And anyway, most of the votes I object to are votes that use facts for their reasoning when the facts are patently false, like "duessel has shitty stats". The only joke votes thing I've done so far is this Marcus one. Tallying.
