Never deployed Camilla, so it's not like I ever got in S rank range with her. But I also find the Elise one very difficult to top. How about the fact Birthright is all about choosing your "birth" family just for that fact alone? But pair Corrin with any of them and...

I was speaking entirely from a design standpoint. I don't know anyone's characters, and frankly, I don't think I care to know, given all I've heard.

Codename Shrimp Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Said boss fight that is my fav. ever ever took me ~50 Minutes on my first a few years back xD And not 50 minutes of padding, but 50 minutes of pure fun No, it's not a FE boss fight Edited November 14, 2020 by Shrimperor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caeldori and Hinoka look like fliers usually do, and the Fates merc outfit is my personal fav in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an actual family chart with a label that Mikoto and Arete saying they were as close as sisters without actually being sisters. What more clarity do you need? Also, cousin marriage is more socially acceptable over there, anyway... Edited November 14, 2020 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightBow Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) I tried Beruka, even though she looked like a Rey Ayanami clone.

I can't see her crotch, so that's already an improvement... As far as design, Mozu is covered up.

Since your PC can handle PS2, how about Xenosaga? Episode I hasn't aged that well but it should be fine. Alternatively, Episode III has a massive database cataloging everything that happened before so you could actually just skip Episodes I and II and play III. 45 minutes ago, Sooks said: There are arpg fans here right? You could argue Xenoblade counts as one so yes. Although for more traditional ARPGs, Ys is cool. Of course, there's also straight-up action games. Kid Icarus: Uprising and Astral Chain are very good, the former being my third favorite game of all time. 38 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: I played Octopath. I did the stories for the four main characters in my team, and the secret bosses. Then I got bored. I never finished it, but I think I got my money's worth. It was fun while I was busy exploring and didn't really mind the grinding along the way. Which... did not apply to the four characters I'd left behind. Mmm. I played the demo. Loved the aesthetic but the gameplay didn't do it for me. Probably has to do with the fact that the game is designed around not solo'ing and yet you have to solo the first boss for every character. This negatively hurts the support based characters like Primrose, the first boss deadass lasted like 15 minutes. 27 minutes ago, Benice said: Why is Claude's Master Class named after the Nazi attack on the USSR in WWII? Like, I know it means "Red beard," but I was wondering if I'm missing something... I didn't even know that, all that came to mind for me with the name "Barbossa" was Captain Barbossa from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I'll just say... Fates is nothing... NOTHING, compared to Crusader Kings...

If you hate or are uninterested in Kagasaga and Kaga’s games you’re on the right, but if you like them you’re on the left. That was what I as going for anyway.

But... in order for the drama to work, you kinda have to have characters you can get attached to. And for that, said characters kinda require a personality... or else the entire thing just falls flat on its face. Well, the entire thing also falls flat on its face if the characters are unlikeable, so it's a double edged sword.
