've asked the last two guys, and now I ask you: Favorite armor knight / general in the series?

Brom! He's a solid character and a pretty good unit, but not gamebreaking.

Favorite FE archetype?

What is your favorite of the laguz races, design-wise?

Cat laguz. Lethe, Ranulf, and Lyre all have some of my favorite laguz designs.

Yours?

Beninja'd by five minutes. huh. Question still stands though.

I like the wolves the most, but that's because I love these animals in real life, too.
Nailah especially looks great when transformed. White wolves are very elegant, I find.

But I honestly like all the laguz, the wolves are just my personal favorites.

I like the Tigers, myself.

If your least favorite FE got remade and addressed the majority of your problems with it, would you buy and play it?

Sure!
It's not like I think the entire thing couldn't work at all. I would probably be very skeptical, but I think I'd give it a chance, at the very least.

You?

Probably not; some games, such as Thracia, FE6 and FE8's flaws come from lack of polish, factory limitations and weird decisions-The base games themselves can be fixed very easily by polishing them up and making minor changes-Nerfing Seth and buffing enemies in FE8, for example, and buffing hitrates, nerfing thrones and getting rid of all ambush spawns for FE6 and 5.

FE9's problems go far beyond weak enemies and slow animations-The maps in general just aren't very good, and the game would need to basically not look like PoR for me to consider getting it. Some of said changes would be: Faster animations that show the chances to hit, etc., nerfing the heck out of Titania, removing Super Canto, buffing enemies, far, far fewer enemies, earlier access to convoy/shops, general QoL improvements, removal of the ambush spawns, changing the way Laguz work, cutting the amount of text down a lot, and so on and so forth.

 

I may have asked this before, but which EO game is the best to start with, in your opinion?

You did, but that's no issue!
I'd say to get used to how the game works and to get a feeling for what classes are like and how a team works, the Untold games (Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millenium Girl or Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight) are your best bet, since their story modes feature pre-made parties with preset classes, which are great to learn the ropes.
I started with The Millenium Girl, and I think it was a good game to start off with, since the party the story mode gives you is by far the most balanced, whereas Untold 2's party could be a little harder to grasp for newcomers.
So, yeah. I'd say start with The Millenium Girl and play the Story Mode at least once to get a feel for how the game and classes work for you.

tbh it's probably just 'cause of my low expectations. But still, I think the difficulty is okay, (the first chapter after the route split was rather annoying, though) and it has overall been quite fast-paced and enjoyable.

 

Do you think FoW has ever been done well in FE?

[DragonFlames]

I can think of one map where I didn't mind it too much, and that is the Chapter 4-1 in Radiant Dawn, the one where you're in camp and enemies are attacking you and you have a giant bonfire in the middle. I do recall not exactly disliking that map.

And I will say, about FoW in general, it does add to the atmosphere of a map, annoying as it might be from a gameplay perspective.

Well, Berwick did a fantastic job with it, (really hope FE copies that soon~!) but in terms of mainline FE, I think the only time I haven't been punished by FoW while playing blind is ch. 9 of FE6. Usually it is just annoying and/or frustrating.

By sheer coincidence, actually. I was looking up stuff about Fire Emblem, and Serenes Forest popped up.
Then I saw that it has something of a "stat calculator" for child units in Awakening that I've been using to determine which pairings I want to try out, and I discovered the forums only a short while later.

Well, my first FE was FE8, which I chose because I was told that it was worse than FE7 in basically every way. I absolutely loved FE8, so I was looking forwards to FE7, which I expected to blow FE8 out of the water.

I really, really, really didn't like it. The plot was super weak, and I just didn't enjoy the gameplay. Overall, it was super disappointing.

HHM has sort of reinforced this point. I did enjoy it quite a bit, up until New Resolve. After that, I enjoyed only a very select few maps. And Then Cog of Destiny happened.

...Yeah...

 

How did you get introduced to Atelier?

That is a funny story, actually.
I got Nights of Azure, liked the character of Christophorus so much that I wished she was playable... then I heard that a Warriors All-Stars existed, which had characters from almost all of Koei's IPs AND a playable Christophorus (Arnice was also playable, which helped, of course!)
That game also had Sophie and Plachta from Atelier Sophie, as well as a gallery where you can read what each game a character is from is all about. And I really, really liked playing as Sophie and Plachta, and that, combined with the fact that the description of the Atelier series sounded very interesting to me, prompted me to buy Atelier Sophie. And I did, and I fell in love with it.

How did you get introduced to classical music?

Same question to Sooks: How did you find SF?

I’d known about it for a long time before I joined, because when I play a game for the first time (and even subsequent play throughs) I have a ton of questions (as you well know by the teehee thread 😂) and half the time when I would Google them, I would end up at the wiki, the other times I would end up here. So one day when there was a question of opinion that naturally wouldn’t be found on the wiki, there was no answer online... anywhere, and so I came here and with the plan to ask the question, get some answers and then delete my account. (That question was the most efficient way to complete the Blazing Blade support log btw 

.) On my way to go ask that question I saw the introductions thing and I thought we were supposed to do one, so I did just that. A user asked me who my favorite Three Houses character was which I really wanted to respond to because I like gushing about three houses characters bUt I had exceeded my amount of posts for the day so I kept the account. While I was I bored I logged back on and made my way to forum games just seeing what was up around here (unable to post) and thought they looked fun, so after replying my favorite three houses characters I went on to... I think it was Ban the User Above You? and the people there were nice and cool and so I stayed.

....and that’s my origin story 😂

My grandfather likes it, and I also play for my region's youth orchestra. Much to the dismay of everyone else. That really got me into it, though.

If I had to pinpoint one singular element, it'd definitely be the relaxing, welcoming atmosphere the games have. They build a world where I would very much like to live in.
I also really enjoy the characters, the character design, as well as of course, the gameplay and godlike music. But as I said, by far my favorite aspect is how relaxing it all feels.

I can tell you the exact moment I knew "yeah, I love this" when I played Atelier Sophie. It was when I left Sophie's workshop at night and was treated to this sight:

Along with this music playing in the background.
No joke, I legitimately put the controller down and left the game there for a good 30 minutes, just to take the relaxing atmosphere in.
To this day one of my favorite things in a video game, silly as that may sound.

Do/did you go Trick-or-Treat'ing on Halloween?

Urvan. I like axes, the gold accents are a nice touch, and it's Greil's axe. I'd say Ragnell, but that appears in both Tellius games.

I never went when I was little due to Halloween not being big enough where I live. It has been getting bigger in recent years, though, and so I have started giving candy to those who do go trick-or-treating a few years ago.

Most memorable video game moment?

Hmmm... if there isn’t stuffing I’m not attending.

[Randoman]

 What's the oldest video game that you're able to play and enjoy? For example, Super Mario Bros. (released 1985) is probably the oldest game I'd be able to play and enjoy. But anything from 1984 or earlier, such as Atari 2600 games, I'd find too boring to be able to enjoy.

20 hours ago, Benice said:

What about you?

That's a tough one, even though most people would think I'd be able to describe myself personality-wise the best.

Well, I try my best to be a good, level-headed guy and a good friend to others. Though I probably get kind of annoying to my friends when I try to call them and catch up with them every 1 or 2 weeks. I also tend to not talk much around my family, though I talk a good amount around friends (and I try to stay mindful of if I'm talking too much and try to let my friends get a fair share of talking in). I also try to keep things clean, in terms of avoiding dirty/inappropriate jokes. I do have quite a vengeful/bitter streak, but I try to keep under control. I'm also honest to a fault, though I do try my best to keep a balance between honesty and tactfulness or try to avoid talking altogether.
