CT075 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 the most entertaining thing about this topic to me is the changes in the title (the pattern shit) on topic, i'll just second refa; it was really nice being able to decide between the 10 damage vs 6x2 without having to deal with "OH GOD MY AVOID IS GONNA HIT ROCK BOTTOM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Naut Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Weight - Con is the closest they got to a solid weight system, but it's not without its flaws (mostly with regards to how it's distributed). The way power and weight scale is also flawed: Steel being heavier than Silver often discourages making the jump early on, but once you get over that milestone weight becomes meaningless.

Icon of Sin Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I like the use of Strength since it means that units can get over their weaknesses wielding heavy weapons over time. That and I always felt female and younger units were usually gimped by the Constitution system, which was also not very kind to magicians due to how heavy books were in non-FE6 games.

Knight Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Good luck in FE6 or FE5. FE6 isn't bad without Jagen, you only need to use Marcus for a couple early bosses. Unless you mean hard mode, I haven't tried that yet. Haven't got through enough of FE5 yet. I like FE5's idea on Attack Speed, with con being a growth, although I haven't played enough of it so I'll say FE9's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 D1 New setting D2 FE2 remake D3 don't care D4 not really other than one-off stupid things D5 AS-weight. FE4's version was awful, but I think this is one of the few things FE2 balanced really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Attack Speed = Speed - (Weapon Weight - Strength, take as 0 if negative) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow Skittles Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 strength system I disliked how the con system screwed female characters over (i'm looking at you isadora). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irysa Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Why not have a mix of both? PoR and RD already had build/con for rescues and str for weapons, so why not incorporate both for weapons? Con and some portion of your str could affect the AS penalty on weapons. An alternative would be that slim weapons/equivilants get buffed for the lower con units. I've thought about having a "scaling" system in the games before (slim weapons could get damage boosts for having high skill or speed for example), but I'm torn because it would obfiscuate the damage formula's clarity, which is a HUGE plus for the series.

BrightBow Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Caellach from Sacred Stones He got a well developed past as mercenary buddies with Joshua and Aias. A rather realistic personality, being merely ruthless about archiving hos goals rather then being directly malevolent, therefore explaining why people like the above two would hang out with him. And a realistic goal that drives him to where he is in the story: To make something out of himself and become a king. He is not to bad by the standards of people who oppose the protagonists mostly because they are jerks or love being evil. Other candidates would probably be Trabant and Micaiah. And Camus for his role in BS Fire Emblem. Though, I am confused if Camus archetypes even qualify. They are all antagonists on the virtue of opposing the protagonists but I think they might have to be malevolent in order to be considered villains. If they do qualify, I might make a case for Micaiah instead. Edited September 18, 2013 by BrightBow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Using a VERY strict definition of the word "minor", I say Gomez While I don't think Trabant count for this, he is not the main villain in both 4 and 5 so.... eh he is another. A well written motivation, action, and finally one thing that make him stand out compared to every other villain is the fact that he WINS Edited September 18, 2013 by JSND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Minor ones? Hrm... Would Hetzel qualify? He was one of the Begnion senators, but he pretty much couldn't do a thing about what was happening, and he saved Rafiel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Trabant is my personal favourite, though I'm not sure if he counts since his role in the story is large enough even though he died before endgame Selena otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Personally, I thought Narcien was a pretty well written character, as well as Camus if he applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbalina's Revenge Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Trabant if he counts as a minor villain, Caellach if Trabant is disqualified. Deeply flawed people with realistic goals who don't rely on a crutch of demonic possession or inexplicable "love" to justify their actions.

ZemZem Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Definitely Selena. Caellach, Trabant, and Camus are close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icon of Sin Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Trabant. Oliver is also interesting in his way of redemption and is overall too funny to pass up. I really would've liked to see more about Izuka. His inclusion in FE9 felt more like an early spoiler while his FE10 self rarely had any exposition.
