I shall hammer a Silver Sword into your skull as punishment- to recall Vlad the Impaler. Yeah, and the one we have is an equally justifiable and canonical alt. I'm just saying it feels gratuitous to have both. It'd be like if we had the Black Knight and somebody said okay, but I'm taking him to meet my parents, so can I get the more down to earth Zelgius in the game as well? Quote And just as a heads up for those who didn't notice. Today 20 years ago, Fire Emblem: Dark Dragon and the Blade of Light released. It's the 20th anniversary of the Fire Emblem franchise! Interestingly I'm playing that very game for the first time recently on my Switch. Language barrier isn't that hard to overcome when I already know the plot from Shadow Dragon. And today I learned you CAN trade items. I thought you had to drop items in the storage shops and then have the other unit come up and withdraw it, which was very cumbersome.

I wish they had removed him from this mode, rather than Training Tower or other modes, where it doesn't matter. Good lord yes, I wish there was a way to freaking delete the asshole completely and permanently. I just wrapped up getting to Tier 25 in GC, and somehow left with an even greater hatred for Surtr. I didn’t even think that was possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only counting the playable SD/NM characters, otherwise Medeus would definitely be in the "important" category. Sirius I think would get in as "Zeke" from Echoes. I just forgot all about Gotoh...which I guess means he isn't so notable. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Byzantine trading system you're thinking about is the one in FE4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, FE4's system with pawn shops definitely had something to do with it. It's the oldest FE I played before trying out FE1. And I always heard FE5 "fixed" FE4's issues by instituting a modern trade function. But one unit giving another unit an item existed all the way back in FE1, so I guess FE4 has no excuse.

Gaiden also tried lots of weird stuff that reverted back to mostly "normal" again in FE3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although as you've probably figured out already, it's only giving, no taking. Cain can give an Iron Lance to Abel, but not take a Javelin from him at the same time. FE1 is like the ideal spirit of Christmas, which nobody really in their hearts like by itself, so taking was added later. And honestly, I found the no-trading + Pawn Shop + individualized gold accounts issue not really at all bothersome to me. It keeps me from abusing the Bands and Rings and best weapons with everyone all at once, but I can work with that no probs. It's a sand grain compared to FE4's other issues (not to bash it too much, I don't like doing that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a bit strange, but I think it worked pretty well for FE4 specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want it to replace normal trading as the series default, but I would be a bit disappointed if they remade it and didn't bring it back. The one thing I would like them to change would be to let people who can't use the weapons buy them. That way Jamke could pass the silver blade to Ulster should you decide to pair him and Ayra, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rezzy Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I have gone from Robin to Chrom, back to Robin. My team is losing badly right now, but hopefully that means everyone is saving their Spears for later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tybrosion Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Lucina is my favorite of these three, so naturally I got Chrom-Chrom-Robin instead. Thanks, GC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintessence Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I hope they do something big for the 30th anniversary! Since the easter banner I've opted for using orbs efficiently and doing full sessions of summoning and it's been better for me. I got Lethe and Mordecai, both +Hp -Res, and got a neutral Felicia on the free summon of the new banner. Also, this has been the first Forging Bonds event I capped all four heroes. It's quite the achievement to me . I think it has more to do with my love for Tellius games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usana Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 . . . I just had something really weird happen in Grand Conquests. I normally autobattle right? So I pick up my phone and see it is ended. And I have 0 defeated units. Apparently my AI team managed to nuke the enemy fortress without killing anyone or taking or losing any camps. I have never seen the AI pull that off before.

Anacybele Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 No doubt something cool will happen for FE's 30th next year, not just in Heroes, but anywhere else they can celebrate it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Emblem Fan Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 This Grand Conquest put me on Chrom's team, then Robin's, and now Lucina's. Spreadin' the love, I guess. Super-broken Lyn, Ike, Marth, and Lucina alts for the 30th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverserpent Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I've gone Robin>Chrom>Robin. I just haven't had time to DO anything this GC.

I have never seen the AI pull that off before. Was that the one with the enemy fortress just below the upper right corner? I had something like that happen yesterday on that map. I don't remember if there were any kills listed, but it went ridiculously fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
