Shanty Pete's 1st Mate Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 On 1/25/2021 at 9:52 PM, joevar said: please no. what if the moment enemies start showing up with killer weapon is just after you switch which character you want to train in arena. that would be too punishing The point would be, to prevent grinding in the Arena ad infinitum - or at least, to increase the risk associated with it. This way, you'd just have to fit Arena combat into a tighter timeframe. The Arenamaster could even say "these new challengers have particularly lethal weapons, are you sure you're up for this?", to warn the player. 2 hours ago, joevar said: that would be cool side story. the fact that pegasus sister fought alongside Alm/Celica army through that whole conflict, they must have established some connection with the new ruler of valentia before they went back. they could become the bridge in friendly talk between the two hero king Ooh, maybe Minerva could introduce Wyverns to Valentia? Since we know they're present in Awakening times, but not the FE1/2/3 era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but only the Archanean Palla and Catria do so. The Valentian Palla and Catria promote to Falcoknight. And they could, I suppose... maybe they accompany Minerva to Valentia after the war? I imagine they'd want to show their royal liege the whole other continent they discovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose482 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 This might come off as a hot take, and it might be, but oh well. I personally feel like Micaiah ISN'T a morally grey character. I feel conflicted saying this, because I know a lot of Micaiah fans (Me included) tend to love and embrace that "fact" about Micaiah, but lately I've been thinking about it, and when I consider her options in part 3, I think not leaving her country to die by the blood pact to be the morally correct thing to do. At least to me, it's seems more morally correct then her ditching her whole country and leave it to die by the blood pact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murozaki Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) What defines a moral gray area to begin with is ill-defined and difficult to discuss so that's understandable. Edited February 6, 2021 by Murozaki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least to me, it's seems more morally correct then her ditching her whole country and leave it to die by the blood pact. I mean, I wouldn't disagree with that. She's not thrust into a terrible moral dilemma initially. Remember, she doesn't know about the Blood Pact until later on, but is asked by Pelleas to lead his forces to fight against the Laguz Alliance, the reasons for doing so also not being presented to her beyond following his orders, a person who she is trusting towards and is lacking in direct advisors another issue which would suggest she would wish to help him. The moral part of it involves her following her king's orders and if this conflict is right for her to be taking part in by leading it. There is a dilemma, but with the information presented there's not much of a moral distinction there for her. She finds it more difficult over time as more information's presented, but only really becomes complicated after the LA is marching through Daein. When she has to make the choice of fighting the LA or risking the desolation of Daein, it's understandable why she, someone who has been characterised as willing to go very far for Daein, would respond as she does. Again, she doesn't really have that much context for the LA's reasons to fight at this point, right? Merely that Daein are using Pelleas, someone who she's willing to fight for and the reason she doesn't go for them is because they have the blood pact over them, something they still have to try and figure out. Random opinions: Birthright Hayato is still useable. The magic weapons from PoR would be nice to see come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic weapons have been a mainstay in the series for years now. I expect most of every game to have a Levin Sword and Bolt Axe if they don't have a str/mag split (and a magic lance that they haven't settled a permanent name on yet). The only thing particularly special about Path of Radiance's magic weapons is that there's no bloody units in the game to effectively use any of them.

Things I like about those ones: there's one for each melee weapon (no magic bow is bit disappointing), there's magic for wind and fire and they have effectiveness too (different ones at that). Yeah, I wasn't saying that I wanted them because the units that had them had low magic, jeez. Plenty of the older games that have magic weapons in them aren't exactly effective for their magic either. Also, what are the chances any new title's going to bring back str/mag merging?

Ah, well for that what you'd really need back is the magic triangle, which it seems they've lost interest in. And their effective damage was pretty heavily built around the laguz system which we also aren't likely to see again any time soon. The only games in the past ten years that haven't had one for each physical melee weapon have been remakes (and we do have the Shining Bow now of course). Though if we get Genealogy remake we could see the Fire/Wind/Thunder swords again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for Genealogy, can we maybe convert the Flame and Bolt Swords into Lance and Axe respectively, like PoR? SoV did change the Astra and Luna from Lances to Sword and Bow. Swords have it good enough in Genealogy, what it needs is to better Lances and Axes and Fire and Thunder compared to Wind.

When you throw the light brand and earth sword on top of that (which would need to stay the same type for their primary users), swords really do get all the fun.

Fire Emblem Fan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Here's one. Edelgard is unhealthy for the Fire Emblem community.

Samz707 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Jeralt should have had a less good relationship with Byleth. Jeralt has to keep referring Byleth awkwardly by gender-neutral titles, seemingly didn't inform them much about the politics and church of Fodlan (I can understand the church from stuff I heard about happens later) since Blyeth has to have it all explained. I dunno I just felt like it should have been a relationship more awkward than just on Byleth's emotionless side on some fashion where they're somewhat distant before the start of the game, with that explaining why they never really cared enough to seemingly explain basic world building stuff to Byleth and really only fighting stuff. (since it does come across really awkward at times of "how has Byleth never heard this before?") Also 3H should have just ditched Avatar-S-rank Locks, While I do think it's silly having everyone be bi for the avatar, stuff like Manuela (and apparently Claude) still acting flirty with the "Wrong" gender of Byleth, doubly so if that character does have a gay option with someone else, feels incredibly unpolished to the point where it honestly seems like we only had Male Byleth at the start or that Byleth's gender was going to depend on the route somehow, it simply doesn't feel like Byleth being the "wrong" gender in a route wasn't considered much of the time and it sticks out much more than "Everyone gay for the Avatar."

Axie Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) unpopular rant possibly: why do some people lose all nuance when talking about difficulty? newsflash: everyone is usable in every fire emblem game if you just want to use them. that doesn't make birthright like path of radiance all of a sudden now lol. the nature of fire emblem is getting easier the more you play it, but not many of the games are actually that easy on a blind first play. also i could not possibly care less about the twitter ramblings of whether characters have too many fans or haters or whatever. just enjoy the games and respect other people, you guys.

zuibangde Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I think it’s safe to say that both groups of Edelgard fans/haters have an unhealthy amount of toxic people. Another potentially unpopular opinion is that unlike the Tellius or even GBA games, I don’t see TH aging that well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm of the opposite mind: I'd rather we have fewer, or stop making them all literal tome weapons with more Might than most spells. Some strong range-locked magic weapons would be a cool addition though, like a lightsaber or a red-hot axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
