To the point that I genuinely cared about what ending each student got (especially in the case of certain students Killing the other students hurt so damn much (since i did no recruit runs for all routes).

null Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The game knew how to hit me right in the feels more often than any other FE. That's why I love Dimitri's arc so much, and I absolutely adore characters like Marianne as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codename Shrimp Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Shrimpy's first week in 3H (Boy that map had me thinking like 30 Minutes each turn thanks to Thracian Dragon Squad that could one shot 75% of my party. That again Enemies were generally very strong in 3H when it came to having high ATK values. Edelgard was like my tankiest unit btw) Spoiler Shrimpy last week in 3H Spoiler 6 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: This was one of the reasons I didn't recruit anyone on my playthroughs, in fact. yup.

null Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 When I do play CF, I was thinking Byleth/Edelgard only. I like my solo runs, even if that isn't strictly a solo run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightcosmo Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 41 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: I consider 3H to have the best Story and Characters by faaaaaaaaaar series wide. Only RD comes a bit close, and it has the whole blood pact thing. But all three routes are the same thing in the beginning. Not sure i'd say that's the "best" story. And part 2 also has alot of reused ideas. VW and SS in particular. They needed alot more unique ideas for each story, imo. Would have been much more interesting that way. Not just storyline, gameplay wise as well. Maps are reused a ton in 3H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Gremory Edelgard for Luna... She does learn Luna, right? xD Small Rant Why doesn't Edelgard Canon class learn magic IS WHY? Also a combat art idea i had that i want to implement eventually. Tree Cutter Axe. Reverses Terrain effect (so -avo becomes +avo) and deals effective damage to anyone on Forest Terrain. (And Maybe even remove terrain xD) Just a thought i've been playing with hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since Character development is different from route to route. And even with some of the problems 3H story had, It's way better than most other FE. Usually they barely scape the 5/10 for me when it comes to Story. There are some outliers out there, but most of the time it's ''Le bad dragon mind controlling someone'' It's why, despite hating Fates story, i don't mind it that much. Most other FE stories aren't much better. They all fall into the same traps. Only Tellius, 3H and Berwick evade those traps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different meaning one character says something similar to another one from a different route, only in their words. Xd I just find the characters to be lackluster in 3H, the supports weren't great. The character "gimmicks" are still a bit too noticeable as well. By noticeable i mean not always handled the best. But FE8 doesn't have a dragon controlling anyone as the final boss isn't a dragon. Also, FE9/10 don't have dragons, and neither do 4/5. And no, Julius is not a dragon, and neither is Ashnard, not the real kind anyway. Fates story isn't bad, it's characters are bad.

Codename Shrimp Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I still need to finish that game. I am pretty late into the game, however the Map i am in has me crossing a bridge with Ballistas and Mages (with long range magic attacks) on the side... Problem is... Games uses an AT system, and Cavs (including Mc) have very Wait values while Mages have very low ones. Trying to cross the bridge will get my sniped by Mages and Ballista. And while i could take em out with my own Mage that has MP absord and Area L Thunder Magic, it will lead to like 5 Turns of just healing and sniping xD 4 minutes ago, Sooks said: You played CF first?

Interdimensional Observer Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 7 hours ago, Benice said: Sorry! But also kinda not, 'cause she's my least favorite in the franchise... Heh heh... I'll go. I wouldn't say Mia is my least favorite character in the franchise, but I would say I'm not fond of her. A perky girl sure, but not any depth, and she is kinda mean to Largo in their support together. Characters don't need to be deep, but even so, Mia doesn't have surface charm that specifically interests me. Just now, Sooks said: Wait what’s a draft? A number of players agree to split up the cast of a given game and play through it using only the characters they pick + any freebies the draft allows. Meaning, to use 3H, if Drafter 1 picks Sylvain when their turn comes in the draft selection order, nobody else can use Sylvain on the draft without a turn penalty being inflicted for their use. Byleth would be a freebie anyone can use. The core goal of a draft is simple, to do the best you can with what you have to work with. Because other people will be taking good characters from you during the draft process, you inherently won't have the perfect team. Ideally, you'll finish the game with the lowest turn count compared to anyone else who participated in the draft, but you absolutely don't have to.

I don't dislike her, but there's very little to make me really like her either. Haven't seen the Largo support, but yeah. She's fantastic as a unit in RD though. That, at least, improves my opinion of her. I'm more of a Marcia kind of guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
