Eh, doesn't bother me too much. Sumia is still quite relatable to me in lots of ways I don't see much of a problem with it. If I didn't constantly paired her up with Chrom, I'd be doing it with Male Robin instead, haha. Edited April 25, 2021 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Eh, Awakening goes a bit heavy on tropes sometimes, but overall I think the balance is done well enough between comedy and a serious tone that I don't mind it all that much. Something my opinion has changed on over time, tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her boss and the guy who keeps seeing that she is in way over her head and doesn't do anything to help her? Sure, why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooks Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) I just... don’t think someone tripping is funny... I’m not trying to say it’s immoral and how dare the writers make something that’s bad into a joke and if you find it funny you’re the worst person on the planet, I just do not think it’s funny.

It's like I said, if this wasn't a video game that depends on the number of units, then it would be brought up. But you have to pad the rooster and all that. No, Yuliya, being a child means squat in this SRPG. You can use healing staffs, so it's off to be playable on the battlefield instead of being an NPC at the field hospital.

It didn't come up because they didn't care about anything beyond surface level fetish appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, she can't trip on the pegasus, which where she would be fighting, so it's not something that impedes on her fighting ability. Reclassing aside but that's more a gameplay thing that doesn't get acknowledge on the gameplay. Now sure, the tripping would be bad when she's doing chores, which we know she does considering some of her supports. But again, video game. Let me enjoy the ridiculousness of the unlikely situation for God's sake! I enjoy fiction because it deviates from reality! It's the whole point!

Saint Rubenio Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 22 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: I mean, it's FE. It's playable if you're not plot-important else why are you even here? Only you get to be a non-combatant if you're enough important in something else. To be honest, from these first few chapters, I'd say it's worse than the average FE in that regard. They're trying to paint this as a close group, but then most of them just vanish after their introduction. Not to mention people like Sully, Virion and Miriel who aren't even acknowledged by the main characters. Even friggin' Shadow Dragon let Marth speak to new units that weren't recruited by him. Shadow Dragon did this better than Awakening. Shadow. Dragon. 2 minutes ago, twilitfalchion said: Eh, Awakening goes a bit heavy on tropes sometimes, but overall I think the balance is done well enough between comedy and a serious tone that I don't mind it all that much. Something my opinion has changed on over time, tbh. Again, I've only played four maps, but if the entire game is like this... I have to disagree, the game leans so heavily into the comedy side that it's impossible to take it seriously. The only time the characters ever behaved like they were in actual danger was during the cutscene with Lissa and Chrom running from risen in the forest. Everything else has been "haha anime humor" all the time, with enemies just sort of being there because we need gameplay. 2 minutes ago, Sooks said: I just... don’t think someone tripping is funny...

Yeah, I've got to agree with this. If it was more obviously cartoonish, then maybe, but Sumia just... sort of breaks her face against the floor in a really brutal manner, gets up and everyone ignores what just happened. It's... weird. 2 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: No, Yuliya, being a child means squat in this SRPG.

Hey, if someone developing this game actually took it seriously, it might have actually ended up being fun. Well, besides whatever studio that did the cutscenes. They obviously actually cared about their work. The contrast between them and IS' side of things is rather damning.

As long as two people interact with each other without intend to kill, you can always pretend the story was about "friendship", Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Rubenio Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hey, uh... Maybe I'm just being nitpicky here, but... Did nobody think of taking some sort of way to prove our identities before heading off to meet with potential allies? An emblem, a brooch, a royal seal, you know, something? This whole situation was so easy to avoid... Also, tell me I can recruit Raimi. Just now, Sooks said: Don’t you like Shadow Dragon? I love it, I'm just saying.

You think I am a Nintendo shareholder? You think they accidentally got a huge success by slapping a few words and pixels together? You should care because they actually made a game that did well, that would take quite a bit of effort. This didn’t accidentally happen, people can try to do things that you don’t like. Looking at how it did, they made a good game, so please stop. People put effort into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
