Dragoncat Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 This topic is for things that don't make sense when you think about them. Things that can be described as video game/FE logic, but if it was real life, it would make no sense. Like... How does light magic do damage to anything but undead monsters? I can see dark magic being like poison or acid or something, but light? Similarly, how does wind magic hurt armored units? Their armor should protect them from the high speed gusts...fire would make them roast in the armor, and thunder...metal conducts electricity. But wind doesn't do anything to heavy metal. How do javelins/hand axes come back to the thrower? Etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiac Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Talking to a person 4 times means you are officially a married couple. Spinning yourself or a weapon around does 3 times damage. EDIT: In response to answer your questions: Light magic blinds people but since it's so sacred they become temporarily blind then see again :'D. Have you been in cold weather? In a windy somewhat cold day it feels like knives are penetrating your skin. It especially feels bad when you bend over. Javelin or Hand Axes: Maybe they carry multiple somehow...

Sikker Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) If you give a sword to a thief it turns into a dagger. If you give it to an assassin it turns into two seperate daggers. If you give it to a mercenary it turns into a huge blade. If you give it to a lord it turns into a rapier.

I like the way that you start talking about "real life", and in the very next sentence start talking about magic as thought it exists in real life...

Anacybele Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 How are units like Mist and Mia able to use Alondite? lol seriously. Ike still uses two hands on occasion to swing Ragnell around and he's fricking Ike. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been in cold weather? In a windy somewhat cold day it feels like knives are penetrating your skin. It especially feels bad when you bend over. So they run into things because they cant see lol? Or maybe it works like the confuse status in pokemon where they attack themselves xD As for cold weather, yes, that is true. But wind magic isn't ice magic, which that better fits. Plus I just said armored people. I can understand it hurting if you're not covered in heavy metal. I like the way that you start talking about "real life", and in the very next sentence start talking about magic as thought it exists in real life... I meant if it did. Wasnt saying it does....but it would be awesome. Picture the pope being able to use light magic lol. How are units like Mist and Mia able to use Alondite? lol seriously. Ike still uses two hands on occasion to swing Ragnell around and he's fricking Ike. :P ...Alondite isn't exclusive to the Black Knight? Wow...

Generic General Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Books can break. Give someone a single boot so he/she can move further. Riders and horses/wyverns seemingly share HP. Edited September 13, 2014 by Smogon'sLawnMower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoncat Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 1: Books can break. 2: Riders and horses/wyverns seemingly share HP. 1: My headcanon says that to make a magic tome, you soak a book in some kind of magical essence/potion/whatever. Every time you use the tome one of the pages crumbles into dust. When there's no pages left, the tome "broke". 2: In PoR/RD it only shows the rider dying, in Awakening the steed dies too. Idk...

Beelzebub Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Lamarck was right. You don't lose arrows when you miss your opponent. In chapter 15 of Awakening, Say'ri is defenseless despite the fact that she has two swords strapped to her waist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoncat Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 In chapter 15 of Awakening, Say'ri is defenseless despite the fact that she has two swords strapped to her waist. Yeah I found that part of the swordmaster model in Awakening odd too. They're never shown actually taking swords out of those scabbards...shouldve just left em out.

They're never shown actually taking swords out of those scabbards...shouldve just left em out. To be honest, if they were gonna do that to swordmasters, then IS should have made freaking unique sheathes for each sword, kinda like how bows get unique quivers. Also, very CLEARLY high AOE spells like Ereshkigal, Apocalypse, Forblaze, etc. can be dodged by simply leaning backwards.

It's just an SS weapon that's also infinite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 In RD, it's not, no. When Ike defeats him in Part 4, Black Knight gives Alondite to him and Ike can then give it to anyone. So anyone that has an SS rank in swords can use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinehollow Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Books can break. Give someone a single boot so he/she can move further. Robin:*Rips out the pages*Broken. Plus,I can imagine Hector wearing a boot to go farther. A staff fixes weapons once when you can get a non-existent blacksmith to fix it more then once. EDIT:How Eliwood's,Ephriam's and Eirika's horse can dodge anything by simply leaning to the side a bit. And the fact Sacred Stones berserkers can get stabbed in the crotch and take no damage.

Rapier Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Also, very CLEARLY high AOE spells like Ereshkigal, Apocalypse, Forblaze, etc. can be dodged by simply leaning backwards. Dodge the Sun by sidestepping (Cymbeline). Forget about shields, only scrubs use them. It is easier to dodge a lightning bolt than it is to dodge an icicle.

Ϲharlie Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Light can actually be very harmful in real life. Lasers, for example, are a form of light, and they can be used to cut through diamonds. As for javelins, historically, javelineers usually carried several javelins on their person. That they suddenly reappear in a unit's hand after being hurled is likely just a case of IS not wanting to create a special animation for javelins.

Captain Wesker Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 And the fact Sacred Stones berserkers can get stabbed in the crotch and take no damage. Guess that's what you call 'Balls of Steel' How does the steed die if you hit the riders? And exactly how does touching a thing give you different clothes and the ability to use more weapons?

Roivann Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 My headcanon about tomes is that when a spell is cast with a tome, some of its pages burn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too noticed how Ephriam does crotch stabs...like what kind of crazy combat training did he get? That's not a vital area. It just feels like one. And...tomes. My headcanon is a combo of both.

Beelzebub Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 My headcanon about tomes is that when a spell is cast with a tome, some of its pages burn up. This is correct; in Thracia, use up your tome uses and you are left with an empty tome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
