I can at least look at a character and say "hey, this guy had good lines! All 2 of them!", which is a lot better than looking at a character you know has a lot of lines and going "Ugh, stop talking. Just shut up and die." 3 hours ago, twilitfalchion said: Marth, Shiida, and Jagen are all great characters. What do you mean you don't find them interesting?! That is unacceptable! /s You say that with sarcasm, but I'll take those three over quite an alarming number of characters from the newer Fire Emblem games. I'll spare you who exactly I'm referring to, because a) we'd be here a while and b) I'd rather forget those characters exist, so I'll leave with this general statement: A character can have a squillion lines and still make the prospect of staring at a completely blank wall for 5 hours look more entertaining by comparison.

Didn't think it would be that bad. RD has three options for animations: full, map, and no animations. With no animations at all, you're shown HP bars, damage taken/dealt, any skill activations, and hits and misses, but the units move absolutely not at all. That is what's exclusive to 2nd playthroughs. Map animations wherein you aren't transitioned to zoomed-in view, but still get simpler stabs, slashes, and spells, is selectable prior to a 2nd playthrough. -I think. It's been years since I played RD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a second variation of turning off animations where the models on the map don't move at all, from what I understand. That's NG+. But you can still turn them off and the units just do a quick animation on the map like in 3H or other games from a blank file.

DragonFlames Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I did it. I found a Way of Life that suits Jagen perfectly: Also, for Claude and Dimitri, we have...Assuming post-ending Dimitri here. Only Edelgard gave me a little trouble... Ultimately, I decided on neither. Just wanted to meme a little. Also, yes, I could have given Claude the Unparalleled Strategist title, because that's what the game presents him as, but... frankly, he doesn't deserve that reputation. "Hey, I have this big secret plan!" "What's the plan?" "Reinforcements I tell nobody about!" *slow clap*Yes, Claude, very smart. Sun Tzu would be proud.

Lightcosmo Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Tales of Vesperia: Spiral Draco is the worst extra boss I've every fought against. So many targets, and you have to kill them all to hit the main one, which only has a few hundred thousand HP. And the kicker? You get a few hits before he revives all the other parts, and it starts all over... again! This was stupid and I'm glad I finally beat it. Another kicker? If you use too many Mystic Artes, he drains all of your OVL and steals all of your OVL gauge as well! Its... dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather gifted as a politician (you kinda have to be to keep the outward appearance of a united alliance even when it isn't), but horribly overpraised as a strategist on the battlefield (the historical Zhuge Liang actually pretty much sucked at battle tactics, yet pop culture portrays him as this unmatched genius). Don't get me wrong, I support his ideals, but I can't honestly say Claude's "strategies" are all that smart.Unless everyone in Fodlan is an idiot who has no clue about basic warfare. 1 hour ago, Sooks said: Why do people spend time praising this...
