In many ways it beats New Mystery, though having no map saves and a cast that I generally enjoy a bit less (not to say I have no favorites in Fates, but it's less consistent because the royals exist) give NMotE an edge. They're really close, though. I hadn't noticed you edited your sig. If you really enjoy it, great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Rubenio Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Wait a minute, when did the 13 hours I spent on Layton turn into 16 hours? 1 minute ago, lightcosmo said: I hadn't noticed you edited your sig. If you really enjoy it, great! Yeah, I originally had it placed lower, but on my second run I changed my outlook. It just has way too many things I enjoy and too few that I don't to put it any lower. It's pretty much just the lack of map saves, a couple of maps I don't enjoy and the obnoxious fanservice in a lot of the female designs that annoys me, everything else is good. Well, I mean, minus the story, of course, but as I've said many times before, FE isn't a series I go to for a story, so I hardly count it when rating a FE. Besides, its stupidity is way too funny, I can't in good conscience say I don't enjoy the story of Fates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rubenio Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Gotta say, for as infamous as chapter 10 is, I felt way more in control than I do in chapter 13. Holy shit, this map is hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Rubenio Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Okay, done. Hoo, boy. That was difficult. But once Orochi and Reina's squads fell, it was smooth sailing. Really, that outlaw heading for the houses was the toughest enemy, simply because he forced me to hurry through those two. Otherwise, it was a simple matter. I even got Charlotte a couple levels! Her starting gear is pretty meh, but she gets going quickly. Unfortunately, bringing Camilla to support Benny brought forth a terrible side effect: I got her C support with Elfuigi. I read it out of morbid curiousity. It was exactly what I expected it to be. Oof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda wanna give Nyx to Leo and Felicia to Odin, just to mix things up since I did the opposite before, but Odin and Nyx are already at B... Meh. Fuck it, I'm doing it anyway. Using the royals?

Fair, certainly a point on the level curve I don't disagree with, much as by far the worst of it is the initial E4 fight. As for SS, I will not say it for Vs. Red as I always felt that was one to train for anyways, but it's a slight bother in a Kanto where even in the remakes the region is treated level wise like it was for a player starting off from scratch. Thankfully trainers do not share this problem, but I realise this also affects gym leaders as plenty stay in a similar level region. But this never was a personal issue (and imo the solution to this should be gym leaders having teams appropriate to what level they see trainers, even as basic as tying to badges). Level curve is one thing, it'd be less of an issue if there were better ways to resolve it available to players regardless of which title. I still won't agree of the overrating on Cynthia for the time being, we'll see after the run. Edited August 22, 2021 by Dayni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say though, for as much as I criticized early!Felicia, I ended up kinda eating my words there. She was completely useless until the flame shuriken, but then she singlehandedly (well, with an Odin pair up, but details) kicked the asses of Orochi's whole squad. It was quite impressive! Jakob is probably still better, but she's more fun. ...just a shame that male Corrin is just straight up worse than female Corrin due to the marriage sim mechanic. Fem can produce two children for the price of one, while male steals a girl from someone else. It's just optimal to use fem Corrin lol. 1 hour ago, Shrimperor said: Can't recruit him, he stay a green unit Doesn't Keaton join automatically if he survives the map?
