Twisted Tactician Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) Hello there fellow FE fans! Thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself. My name's Des, and I figured I'd make an account since I lurk here so much. I got into the series a few years ago when a friend saw me playing Lord of the Rings: The Third Age on my Game Boy Advance. She was so right when she said I would like Fire Emblem; since then I've beat Awakening and started both Sacred Stones and Birthright. I'm waiting for my download of Conquest to finish as I type this. I play the games for the story, but I find few things in life as satisfying as cooking up a crazy strategies and seeing if they work out the way I imagine. Some of my FE Favorites (based on the games I've played thus far): Game: FE 13 Character: Donnel (but Eirika is a close second) Boss: Candace Class: Kinshi Knight Weapon: Levin Sword Item: Boots I've been playing video games since before I could read, so they're kind of part of my identity at this point. In terms of favorite series, Fire Emblem is second only to the Elder Scrolls. As for real life...I recently graduated from college with a BA in economics and am eager to start my new job as a data analyst in the next month or so. Happy Holidays everybody! I can't wait to get involved in the forums here! Edited December 24, 2017 by Twisted Tactician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Karnage Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Nice to meet you, I'm a year out from graduating from college. Hope you have fun while you're here. Like many of us here would say, lower your hopes for Conquest's story, but keep them high for its gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Tactician Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Thanks Captain, and I'll keep that in mind. I can usually see past crummy stories if the characters are memorable enough. I'm probably going to do normal/classic like I did for Birthright; I'm anticipating it being just the right level of challenging for me!

Twisted Tactician Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Dandy, I see your Yee Haw and raise you one Boy Howdy! I come from a rural area, I think that's part of why I like Donny so much. He reminds me of some of the boys I knew growing up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking about that last mission at the Black Gate is enough to make me curse out loud at the RNG...Frodo always took his sweet time destroying the ring and all my units would die in the meantime. I am a Reina fan; she's my favorite Fates character so far! I like the Kinshi Knight class to begin with, and Reina owns it! I enjoyed her supports with the avatar and how they showed her tendency to soften in demeanor when she's off the battlefield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Welcome to Airport 1001! Please remember to wake that slugabed up! ...and to look out for the always bored scythe-toting overseer. Anyway, what else do you play?

Haha, I always had the feeling the RNG in that game was out to frustrate the player and it got worse in the later missions. You're the first person I've heard mention Reina who doesn't dislike her. Finally! I like her quite a fair bit. I like how her supports with Corrin show a different side to her than her first impressions; it's a shame that her supports were limited to just Corrin.

I play games across a lot of genres, everything from Fallout to Tony Hawk to Stardew Valley. Right now, the non-FE games I've been playing the most are: Morrowind Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Mass Effect 3 Dragon Quest VIII Madden 18 I'm also super into Elder Scrolls Lore and have been making art and stories based on my most recent Skyrim playthrough. My character has a Tumblr and everything because I have a lot of free time right now.

I'm a little sad to hear that she doesn't have a big following! Yes, I also wish there were more supports. It would have been fun to see her interactions with Orochi or Kagero...they could have reminisced about serving Queen Mikoto or something.

Hyrule Warriors/Legends Bravely Default Dragon Quest VIII Fire Emblem Warriors (actually, I had just gotten this, but I'm gonna be putting a lot of time into ) Smash for Wii U Rune Factory 4 (and for that matter, the series in general) The Atelier series in general Endless Frontier and EF EXCEED Stella Glow Also, please don't try anything you see the Mythbusters do at home. EVER! Oh, and since you're familiar with Dragon Quest, has this crap ever happened to you? https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/583527-dragon-quest-viii-journey-of-the-cursed-king/44516060 Note the first post in said thread as well as the title.

I know that feeling - largely because playing Fates gives me that feeling. Edited December 27, 2017 by Levant Mir Celestia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! The one DQ game that I played to the very end was IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies. That crap got really frustrating. Iirc, one of my dudes had a skill that blocked the enemy from running so I had to bring him along for some of the "defeat X" quests, especially the ones with metal slimes.

Well, if you see it at GameStop or whatever, I'd definitely pick it up. Wait, you have gotten unlucky to the point where metal slimes are among an enemy party that got a free turn and saw them flee immediately?!

After 200+ hours, I'd seen just about every level of stupidity that game had to offer by the time I finally lost the game chip. Between that game, Fire Emblem, and Civilization, I've learned to never underestimate the cruelty of an RNG.

Luis Liberato Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hope you feel at home here also if you want a great Fire Emblem game based on story Genealogy is one of the best but since its crazy hard to play I suggest Echoes I love it hope you like it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
