nano Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Just going by the tier lists on this forum here, however outdated they may be, the top 5 of each game is: 4-1: MMFMM 4-2: MMMMM 5: FFMMF 6: MMMFM 7. MFFM M/F 8: 3.5M, 1.5F (average of two routes) 9: FFFMM 10: MFMMM 11: Can't find a tier list, presumably because wrap and Shiida broke everything 12: FMFFM That totals to 29M, 15F. I'm not doing the first three because, well... I didn't. Then it's the number of units available. Counting only the games that come into question, I got 288M, 142F So looks like the sexes are equal in strength! Aren't we all happy.

BBM Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Well, it makes sense for there to be more males than females in the game, just as there are more males than females in armies in real life, and in armies in medieval eras. So since there are more males in total, there will obviously be more males who are good than females who are good. And look at the ratios. There are approximately twice as many male units in total as female units in total, and approximately twice as many male units who are the best as compared to the amount of female units who are the best. In fact, there re slightly more than twice as many males as females in total, but slightly less than twice as many when looking at just the best units, so in fact, I'd say the FEMALES are higher in strength in Fire Emblem.

PKL Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Well, females tend to have flight going for them. They're obviously going to be very good. All hail, Pegasus Knights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nano Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yeah, almost all of the females that are on the list are flyers or staffers. Males are mostly combat units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 FE11/12 fliers are combat-oriented due to the lack of rescue, so there's Caeda, Palla, Catria for female combat units. Miledy may be a flier but her job isn't to rescue, either, due to her low aid and her high combat/durability parameters, so she's in as a combat unit. And then Titania's on a horse. I think that's all the combat-mainers for females, though, in the top tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Well, apparently Jill and Marcia in FE9. While they could be used for Rescue-botting, I heard they're considered broken for good combat after BEXP dumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yeah, them too. I haven't played FE9 so I never pay attention over there so I forgot about them. I guess most of the top tier female combat units just happened to have wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) It's more that very few combat characters are in Top in tier lists if they don't have a mount of some sort, male or female. And I guess most female units with mounts have pegasi/wyverns over horses. Soiree was like the first female Cavalier (other than Amelia, who's too bad to be saved by a horse), all the way in FE13. We had Isadora and Titania before that for Paladins, and that's about it. And there's also Astrid and Cecil, but idgaf.

nano Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 -Jesus On Wheels- Marcus -Top- Sain Priscilla Kent Ninian/Nils I did S rank tiers for the games that have it, because that's what the game actually intend you to go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anouleth Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I did S rank tiers for the games that have it, because that's what the game actually intend you to go for. No, it isn't. S Ranks are not what the player is "supposed" to go for, it's merely another option of many. It certainly seems a bit weird to say that Serra is an amazing unit because she gains lots of experience, which is 90% of her position on the S Rank tier list.

Well in that case it's 30 v 14, which is still kinda balanced, but now with a slight favor to the males instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
