Sooks Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Why chapter 17? Why? Three boring maps? Bleh! 4 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: That's for every cavalier. For mages you can choose instead staffs or knives. Wait… what? You get the option of extra healing and utility or knives? As in, the two might weapon based on strength and locked at one range for your mages? Why? Why would anyone pick that? Why is that even an option?

Acacia Sgt Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 And on the subject of mages, I've always went with staffs. I basically promote Soren and Ilyana and ditch Mist (who gets to reach a sufficient level and staff rank for you-know-what) and Rhys for the rest of the game.

But yeah, there's really not that many incentives to give mages knives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) The Stiletto is the only knife that's really worth it due to being anti-armor... but then, sages can just use magic against them, so... yeah...

BrightBow Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Just like in the GBA games, Steel Axes are E-rank weapons. As are Hand Axes. Unlike the GBA games, weight is negated by Strength. So the huge weight is not actually a hindrance in this game. Anything else is just not worth it, because of how hard it is to dig yourself out of that E rank. If Oscar learns Bows and Boyd promotes, there will be a followup to their event about coming up with a special move. They will then learn the Triangle Attack. Cute, but not much else.

Maps. 5 minutes ago, Sooks said: Why chapter 17? Why? Three boring maps? Bleh! Yeah. I mean, why are you surprised? The entire game is nothing boring maps. 5 minutes ago, Sooks said: Wait… what?

Why is that even an option? I'm actually going to defend this, despite being the PoR hater. The knife promotion exists precisely because it's useless. It's there to give an incentive to train the unpromoted mages and to keep the sages from being Pent, as they both have knives. That, and of course, meme knife Soren is funny, if you want to go that route. 14 minutes ago, Sooks said: Wait, I get to choose a weapon for Astrid when she promotes? Interesting. Uhhh… axes I guess? She could use the extra damage. This, on the other hand, it's just kinda there. Axes every time. No brainer choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly this isn't like Berwick Saga where events that are not tangled up in main story maps will simply occur whenever you meet the requirements.

Probably just another case of them trying to bring back an SNES mechanic in the dumbest way possible. In any case, the game is not doing itself any favors by having such few healers.

It's something. ...Wait, what SNES mechanic are we talking about here? As far as I recall, neither knives nor choosing the weapon type to gain on promotion was a thing in the SNES games...

No knives, sure. But weapon / magic hybrid classes were a thing. Knives are just bad swords anyway. It's not like they have any unique traits like in Berwick Saga.

Saint Rubenio Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Sooks said: There’s… a fourth map? No… nooooo…… Yep. Four maps. That's supposed to be the wooooow cool gimmick of chapter 17. It's actually four chapters in one, with a consistent team to which you add two units to the team per map, if I recall correctly. Of course, Path of Radiance is still Path of Radiance, so there's no difficulty and this really just means three extra maps of boredom before the credits roll. The consistent team gimmick doesn't even do anything, I mean, this is Fire Emblem, everyone uses a consistent team to begin with.

GuardianSing Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 There's something funny about the Ezio collection on Switch making you manually download each game in the collection separately. I can't tell if that's a Switch thing or Ubisoft being Ubisoft but either way it baffles me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
