IceBrand Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 They throw the weapon, it magically comes back in the hand. I know it's just gameplay but I wish there was an explanation for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightShade Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) They throw them so hard they travel around the world and arrive back in their hand. Edited May 28, 2013 by MidnightShade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashiane Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 They throw the weapon, it magically comes back in the hand. I know it's just gameplay but I wish there was an explanation for it. Magnetism. They have a small, yet powerful magnet attached to their hand to correspond with the unnoticeable magnet crafted into the javelin/axe. They throw the axe/javelin at their target, then hover their hand over their supply. The closest weapon is then attracted to the magnet attached to their hand and quickly flies upward again, almost like magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest weapon is then attracted to the magnet attached to their hand and quickly flies upward again, almost like magic. Of course, there have been incidents when a stray javelin has accidentally ended some kingdom's golden age by striking down their emperor on it's way back, but that's only once every millenia or so. Also, there have been rumors of some unknown villian using said magnets as a way to take over the world, but it's only rumors. The population is "POLARIZED", so to speak, about this possibility. The kingdoms of Elibe are going to take a "POLL" about this and decide what to do. With the "MAGNETIC" personalities of the lords and ladies, it could possibly take awhile.

Parrhesia Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 They carry twenty of them at a time, and generally can't be bothered to add an animation for grabbing another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merun Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Imagine walking up to a person you just hit with a Javelin to retrieve the same one with the person still alive and attacking you... Yeah, wouldn't happen. Gameplay and Realism segregation or whatever. I could ask a lot of questions like "The risen indiscriminately attack anyone and anything like normal zombies do, why do they let thieves run freely through the battlefield looting shit" or "what is the fucking point of being a flier if you fly so low you can be attacked by grounded units anyway?" but I then remember it's a video game and none of this matters.

Melonhead Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 They probably carry about 3 of them or so, and when the enemy dies they go retrieve them or something. I think I've seen hand axes being used as boomerangs. In a game where characters can only move in 4 directions and there are megaphone tomes, I don't think there needs to be a solid explanation :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadykid Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) based off of PoR/RD's hand axe animation..... They have mastered the force. or magnetism, but that sounds lame Edited May 29, 2013 by shadykid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constable Reggie Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hand axes were historically known to fly back into their users' hands, which is generally why Fe11-13 are considered inferior to the rest of the titles, due to a significant lack of realism.

Fire Emblem Fan Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I believe in 7 the handaxes function like boomerangs? As for javelins, I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriemhild Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 FE7/FE8!Generals did this, right? They did for melee axe/lance attacks. I don't think they have the chain for the ranged attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
