No one likes the idea of ACTUALLY being stalked. This is fiction, and people like things in fiction that they wouldn't like for real, and it's pretty ridiculous to intentionally conflate the two.

(I heard it was called awakening because you can beat it in your sleep and the hardest part ends up being getting through the credits) Due to how boring the maps are it is a blessing that they can be beaten fast, kinda like FE1.

Yeah a lot of characters I like in fire emblem I probably would not want to hang out with in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See those chapels/churches/whatever? These take one tile. Units move 5 to 9 tiles. 2) I'd rather suggest cutting it out completely. All of bashing, all of it.

Each time you seize a castle, some bullshit happens at the next one that you have to deal with, so you end up doing something like 3 chapters' worth of chapter per chapter.

Definitely doesn't sound like something that would fit well on a portable system. Oh, and is the cast big enough to fit those maps, or is it still just a small band?

It does feel like you're fighting great holy wars instead of connected story missions. IfWhen they remake Genealogy, huge maps should stay.

Zapp Branniglenn Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Ungh, I feel it coming on...we're not about to go from Tharja discussions to "Why FE4 Maps are actually the Best/Worst" are we?

And as for Awakening maps being smaller, well, they were on a portable system. I'm not too picky when it come to things like that though so I don't really mind if they are considered "bland". I like it just fine. 1 minute ago, Gustavos said: Ungh, I feel it coming on...we're not about to go from Tharja discussions to "Why FE4 Maps are actually the Best/Worst" are we?

So, it's a smaller cast, but you actually use them all? Kind of the opposite of Shadow Dragon where the cast was huge, but you just didn't get to use that many of them.
