I don't know where people said he had some of the worst growths in the series. I can tell you the last time there was a large rating thread for Genealogy, he was considered one of the worst units. As in he had the lowest rating of the entire cast. Poor guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's... not what I said at all, actually. I said (not other people, me) that Hannibal's growths are the worst in the game. That's a fact. A fact that should not stop you from using him, because his beard growth y'see, that's the highest in the game, and everyone knows beard is the best stat. 2 hours ago, Sooks said: And he’s an armor knight.

I mean, objectively speaking he's... I dunno, he defends the base castle from the last stretch's dracoknight invasion really well, so I could see that as an argument to put him above Arden, but beyond that... But the beard, man. He's one of two people in Genealogy with facial hair, and poor lil' Oifey and his handlebar just get put to shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler ...... I mean you can get away with fighting none of them. I know I had Hannibal with the rest of my forces, little as he did. Arden also has THE POWER OF PURSUIT and the enemies are just bad. Blast from the past right here. Edited February 28, 2021 by Dayni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spara Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 So, I just checked what the chest in 11-1 of Berwick had, just to see what I missed out on due to no thieves... It was a Vanishstone. A VANISHSTONE. DAMNIT. That would be so good for 12-m, but maybe there's one still in the shop I can nab... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightBow Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The Vanishstone is rather handy to help Czene reveal the enemies in the forest near the eastern ballista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I had Hannibal with the rest of my forces, little as he did. Arden also has THE POWER OF PURSUIT and the enemies are just bad. The POWAH is debatable in the same way as Sophia's guiding ring in FE6 is debatable. Sure, both are extremely good items (heck, Arden's even more so), but can you really give the unit points for it when the only reason they're the only ones that can get it is because the developer felt like it? It's not like it's something that Arden or Sophia can accomplish due to their own merits. They don't even have to fight, they just have to walk there and be otherwise useless. A green unit could do that. On the other hand, defending the castle that one time is legit utility that Hannibal can pull off at base... But if you're fast, you skip that part altogether and Hannibal gets to do absolutely nothing the entire game. There's arguments for both being better than the other, I feel. There's no argument that they're both the bottom top two of Genealogy, that's for sure. 12 minutes ago, Spara said: So, I just checked what the chest in 11-1 of Berwick had, just to see what I missed out on due to no thieves...

BrightBow Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Arden is actually genuinely decent on the prologue map. Probably in the first half of chapter 1 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably in the first half of chapter 1 too. I mean, yeah, he can function... But at that point the question becomes, why drag him around to be "decent" instead of letting the actually good units get all the experience? On the other hand, Hannibal isn't going to be doing much long-term, so sending him back to base in chapter 9 to defend so you have the full might of your good units to face the dracomaster squad is a legit good use of the guy. Mind, I'm trying to argue for objective utility in fast play here. This is a field that is... pretty much completely foreign to me, so please bear with me. How did we even get to this point? Arden and Hannibal both good cause memes, there we go. I mean, Hannibal doesn't even get memes, but he does get the Jugdral Beard. Good enough in my book.

BrightBow Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) It might be needed to rig that outcome. Since the final boss has Awareness + Wrath. So it's difficult for characters without Awareness themselves to survive. To say nothing of the issue to even deal damage in the first place.

Venger_06 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I hope they enjoyed the time they spent together while it lasted... Anyway, I've done three pairings.

null Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 That's OG Paper Mario fans biggest complaint. And I would agree, considering Sticker Star and Color Splash had the same issue. Why battle if all you get from it is coins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I can apply this to any other games with combat that don't give out EXP. Like Zelda. Most fights in Zelda don't actually give you anything apart from a few rupees so why bother? Origami King isn't an RPG so I don't mind the lack of EXP. It was a problem in Sticker Star because that game did try to be an RPG.....wait, no it didn't. Sticker Star just sucked.
