Arch Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 i look forward to an inspiring talk about love and boys between rosaria and cadea. remember when making a gender bend they should still share qualitys of apperance of the original She's bi.

Robert Stewart Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 And even with the changes I've made, it's still only a 37% female cast. With that in mind, I've decided to more liberally offer sex changes to characters who were cut in FE3 (Roger, Beck, Darros). Say hello to Rosaria, Beitrice, and Darcy. Will Rosaria have the same recruitment convo as Roger in FE11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobodiePichu Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 She's bi. which one we talking about? you better not screw that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Rosaria. Also I just ran some numbers calculating the percentages and everything: these changes bring me up to ~42% of the cast being female. For reference, the original FE1 had a cast that was 21% female (so it's basically been doubled), and Shadow Dragon barely moved the needle to 23% (because that's what happens when you add a bunch of dudes to a cast with a bunch of dudes). So yeah, this is definitely more acceptable for me after these last few tweaks. Because in case you didn't hear, Ubisoft recently got some flak for saying that having female protagonists was a "workload issue." Fuck that.

I honestly see no point in changing a buncha characters to girls and adding more on top of that. I don't remember playing Shadow Dragon and being like "woah there's like way too many dudes here". Nobody wants a sausage fest, but making this many changes that literally don't affect gameplay at all seems pointless to me. I suppose I just have to see how it works out, though.

Arch Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) It's called #SocialJustice. Basically building the resources from scratch anyways, so might as well actually use my creative liberties to get some better gender balance. Also for people that check FEU there's a surprise Edited June 25, 2014 by Arch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also for people that check FEU there's a surprise i love you forever as far as the female change thing goes i am cool with it as long as the characters are identifiable to there original personality's and appearances (taking in mind changes for gender roles of course) so as long as character remains the same im cool with it. if not though prepare to feel my wrath.

Arch Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 That's pretty much the idea. Rosaria's recruitment with Caeda might be practically verbatim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 For whatever stupid reason, I'm quite fond of Tomas. One day, I'll form an opinion about Dolph/Macellan. I am also in likes with Tomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) New idea. Cut Gordin and replace him with Norne. Then use freed character slot to bring back Tomas. I'm only half kidding. Edited June 25, 2014 by Arch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonPancham Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Why don't we keep Gordin in, and give him a personal bow called "Gaggles". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Gaggle Bow (2MT negates def) for Gordin. Broadsword (armorslayer) for Ogma. Wing Spear (reaver) for Caeda. Excalibur for Merric/Wendell. Aura for Linde. Liuye Dao (6MT Brave +15crit) for Navarre. Ranseur (dragonslayer) for Frey. Something for Minerva. Viking Axe for Dice. Something sick for Maris. Something for Etzel? PRFs get 45 uses. ...I'm just taking notes. Feel free to share ideas. What I'd do with more weapon locks, basically.

eclipse Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Minerva - whatever weapon she has should do critical damage to fliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonPancham Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Grimoire for Etzel Money Money! for Maris (she likes money, similar to Leif's blade in awakening. Not sure about the title of the weapon but sure about the money) Whitewing for Minerva. Defender for Cain (sword passed from his brothers as he left Cornelius). Strong against magic users. Pouncer for Abel (lance, symbolises him as the panther has low might but decent crit). Edited June 25, 2014 by SonPancham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) I've been considering introducing sporadic Interlude chapters (so like between Ch8 and Ch9, there's an interlude where you get to have units talk and restock on a boat, for example), and having talk events in regular chapters kickstart chains of events that will unlock a bunch of these PRFs. Low deployment slots in the interludes will force you to choose which ones to pursue (the chains will be one in-chapter and two interludes to get the item, and there will be three/maybe four interlude chapters). So hypothetically the more the merrier. I like the thief sword idea for Maris, if I could even implement something like that.

TheWill Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) .Athena looks gone, Isn't Athena like the only one of the new FE11 characters that had any fans?

Arch Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) She's confirmed in. Lategame swordmaster in a three-way gaiden split that gives you either her, Lorenz or Ymir. Edited June 25, 2014 by Arch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Winds Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Gaggle Bow (2MT negates def) for Gordin. Broadsword (armorslayer) for Ogma. Wing Spear (reaver) for Caeda.

It wasn't a prf weapon, but it was identified (in a house) as being hers. Not to mention one of a kind. ...Frey's not the canon sacrifice anymore? That's fine; I prefer to chuck Jeigan to the wolves anyway. He's worse than Marcus! Edited June 25, 2014 by Wayward Winds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonPancham Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Will Paladins use axes? Will you continue to be awesome? Will Great knights make an appearance and if who will wield the class? Anymore preference weapons needing a title ( Coyote lance for the Coyote, perhaps) Edited June 25, 2014 by SonPancham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) No. Maybe. Yes (Sword/Axe). Horace will. I'm just kinda fishing for ideas/names for weapon for anybody really. If I get a good PRF idea that character might actually get it, so. Edited June 25, 2014 by Arch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
