The Geek Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Lyn just because of how I find her personality pretty flat and statwise she's dependable for survival but underwhelming in dealing actual damage, especially against endgame enemies. Eirika at least can deal decent damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe Neo Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Eirika and lyn to the extent,as they are both fast but do no damage and personality wise RD Ike, as much as I like him hes a better lord in PoR as he has a personality (that's rare for a lord these days ) and he has great growths. RD Ikes growths were really nerfed from his younger self and 30% speed growth sucks. Edited February 19, 2015 by Serah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chloe Neo Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I will agree with you there even though he has a low growth in speed that 27 base speed makes up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 It's 23, 25 with transfer boosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe Neo Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I think its 27 originally and when he gets the PoR speed transfer boost it becomes 29, 1 point away from capping, I don't know if I'm right correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it was ever 23 speed.

Life Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 A lot of fanfics are bad, true, but there ARE some good ones out there, you know. I love Ike's personality... A blunt dude with a reckless attitude and a love of meat/food to the point where he asks others about the food they eat? He's so entertaining! :P He gets sarcastic with Deghinsea in RD too. lol He also hates cleaning, haha. Too bad this part was only in Japanese RD. I saw some text awhile back that wasn't in the English game, from where Ike and his group return to their fort. Ike is like "it won't kill us if we don't clean." I feel ya there, Ike, I hate cleaning too! Two things. 1. A good fanfic is like a radical Muslim also being a humanitarian. It doesn't exist. 2. You and the Oxford Dictionary need to sit down and discuss the meaning of the word personality. A " love of meat/food to the point where he asks others about the food they eat" is not how you describe a personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luchi Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Ike just seems like a walking JRPG-hero stereotype to me. There's nothing about him that sets him apart from those clichés. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwoo Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have to disagree with you on point one, Life. Not all fanfiction is terrible just by virtue of being fanfiction, like how not all published literature is good by virtue of being published. The quality of how well something, anything, is written is wholly dependent on how good the person behind it is at writing. Someone who is very talented at writing could end up authoring fanfiction that rivals literary works just because the writer is that good. It just so happens that you're much more likely to find crappy fanfiction because the very nature of fanfiction gives EVERYONE the power to write and publish their stuff online. Including people who don't know anything about the elements of writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His prose is gorgeous, the plots are engaging, and I feel attached to any FE character he writes, even if I dislike them. There are other good ones I know, but I'm pointing you to him because he does mainly FE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Cynthia- Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Uh no, fanfiction doesn't put some magical handicap on a fan's ability to write something. I do think it's plausible that fanfiction often tends to be worse though. I think a lot of authors turn to fanfiction because a lot of the more difficult parts of creating good fiction are already done for them- worldbuilding, characters, sometimes plots etc. There are bad original works too of course, but fanfiction tends to attract...lazier? writers on the whole perhaps. On topic, FE has a lot of bland lords but Ephraim's Stuness can be pretty overwhelming. The whole thing with 5x pretending that Ephraim's tactics are awesome when they make very little sense, Ephraim having to 'save' Eirika twice and she never returns the favor, Lyon's motivation boiling down to an inferiority complex to Ephraim's greatness, it's all kinda gross. Going Eirika route does fix a lot of these issues though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiant head Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Well of course, but this dude was specifically comparing good fanfiction to being the "tallest midget," which makes no sense, when there's no reason you can't have talented fanfic writers.

HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 sure most fanfiction is shit, but that doesn't mean good ones don't exist. i bet atleast afew are actually of best seller quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I did link Mark of Asphodel's FFN account for a reason. He's legit the best FE writer on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) ^You need to read Falchion1984's stuff then. I think he's the best writer I've ever seen and I've read a lot of fanfiction/fiction. He's my co-author and I feel VERY honored and lucky to have him as part of my projects. He also writes original stuff, which you can see on his DA account. His fan stuff is on ff.net. I'm not sure if he ever posted the fan stuff to DA though. Although, Falchion has a bit of a wordy style that may feel like a drag to some people. Still, his ability to describe and do imagery is matched by none imo.
