Well that was quite the ending. I knew Arvis was at least somewhat the villain and yet I still sort of believed there would be a peaceful conclusion. Interesting.

In other news: 

Pokémon’s twitter is now following the path of brand Twitter.

Congratulations. You have reached The Thing. The reason people sing the praises of Genealogy so much.

He breached the bro code really hard.

On to gen 2, then, where Oifey, Finn and Shanan grow up to be the biggest badasses. And I guess there's kid units too or something.

Scylla became a pushover more than I expected after the difficulty drop to Standard, it didn't survive the initial Power Gel + Volt Prelude + Weakening Curse (all from Grimoires) > Chained Benefit > Creeping Curse + Torpor Curse > Charge > Trance + Soul Liberator > Chained Benefit > Maddening Curse + Charge > Soul Liberator burst. All done in... 6 turns? Maybe slightly more. Still, I like venturing into the EO labyrinths too much to let unfair bosses slow me down.

I'd consider doing an EOU2 run with a Hexer again, this time accompanied by a War Magus so I could enjoy some lockdown instead of popping my ailments right away all the time, and maybe then do a Whip!Dark Hunter for Ecstasy fun. Add a Protector and maybe a Troubadour for one turn of Crusade > Ailing Slash + Ecstasy. -But I've still the story run to finish as well, so no can do.

C'mon IntSys. Do it. Do it!

I know for a fact that Fire Emblem fans will commit war crimes if FE4 got remade with chibi artstyle.

SO DO IT! I WANT TO SEE THE WORLD BURN!

You:

Seliph looks rather feminine in that sketch, which isn't unusual for him.

Chibi aesthetics may have a place somewhere in FE, not sure where exactly though. Who knows, maybe IS could get away with doing grimdark stuff they normally wouldn't if it was all giant-headed people.

Odyssey's mechanics are very good, but getting the stars (or moons in this case) personally doesn't really feel that satisfying because they are everywhere.

But both have their pros and cons. I jut don't rank Odyssey as high as most people.

I've considered doing a second SMO run for a while now, but for some reason, unlike the Galaxies or Sunshine, I can't ever muster the will to do it.

(Still can't believe Smash Ultimate actually arranged this track.)

I don’t know what it is with this game’s music, but I don’t realize how awesome it is until after the fact.

That’s it..? People say this is the best story in all of Fire Emblem just because of the ending?

I mean I thought it was great, but still. If it keeps this pace it might be the best FE story even though 3H is the only other good one. But I haven’t heard great things about gen 2.

It might already be if the plot didn’t randomly flip after chapter 3.

Yep! I mean not immediately but today, yeah.

He didn’t know that Sigurd and Deirdre were married?

  You ask me, Geneaolgy the best music in the series before the 3DS happened.

Part of me is asking where 3H ends up, with it maybe being a bit below.

And on the other post, first, spoilers so maybe edit. Second, apparently my response is a spoiler.

Well, people also praise things like Quan and Ethlyn's fate, the story-gameplay integration, the overall writing... There's better people to explain it than me.

For what it's worth, I disagree with... I think it was Shrimpy that called it Fates-tier? Yeah, I don't agree. Fates is so badly written, so utterly nonsensical, so reliant on deus es machinas to move forward, so morally bankrupt, so cheap-porno-like all too often... I think it may very well be the worst story in any game I've ever seen (of the ones where story is given focus, Mario doesn't count). Certainly up there, if not.

Gen 2 is more bland than gen 1. It lacks its tragedies, and Seliph is far closer to your average FE lordling than Sigurd was. But it's not Fates. It's very far from Fates. Miles above Fates. It's an okay story, not gen 1 but not among the bad FE stories either.

I thought I was the only one who didn’t know the entirety of fe4’s plot. But sure.

Uh...I'm not going to say anything because I don't think you've gotten there yet.

You'll see.

Oh, thank you.

I really like FE4's soundtrack as well. Disturbance in Agustria and the Army of Verdane themes especially are fantastic.

I had written an answer that the very next post said could constitute a spoiler. So I retracted.

I only know whatever info is available in the first five chapters + prologue. So that’s probably good, at least if it’s plot important. I mean “the truth” so sounds pretty special.

Good job!

Is this like the darker side of Super Mario Galaxy 2? Although I guess you haven’t played Odyssey, so you probably don’t know.

Yeah, and is generally seen as one of the hardest, if not the hardest Mario level.

Like in Champion Road you can atleast come with powerups for some damage boost, no such thing here xD

 

Well, there's the impossible pack, but that's Ninty on extra hard drugs while going full sadist mode

I’ve only mentioned this once but fe4 so far has been really really good. Like, already my second favorite fe good. If it continues this way, it might usurp Three Houses.

Despite my complaints, the gameplay overall is fantastic, I just think the Kaga-ness is easy to complain about. I do love the mechanics though, like the villages, the arena and the castles. The music is awesome and the story overall is good so far (again, despite me only having said negative things, it is great). So yeah, game good, at least second favorite fe unless it pulls an Awakening. The break between gens seems like a good time to organize my thoughts.

I'm genuinely surprised that you think that. Awesome that you're enjoying it.

If I'm being completely honest, I've been enjoying it quite a bit more myself this time around. I guess I just wasn't in the right mindset for it last time around. shrugs

That adds another one to the counter. 😂

But why?

From what I've seen, it's not common to like both the old and new style of FE. There are a few in this thread (myself included), of course, but overall not common.

Yes! Yes! Kaga elitist! Kaga elitist! Now, in lieu of Arden, you have to use Hannibal. Go on, chop-chop.
