If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

Totally empty quoting.

In my experience they have the exact same information as the website in front of them, with the added bonus of being filtered through a retail worker who can miss or misinterpret "placeholder".

I wouldn't say I totally believe it, but it did make me snort that the counter girl tried to justify it as "It IS three games" because... I know, and I know they're three different games, I respect IntSys a helluva lot for that. And I know with AUS pricing that Each version of Fates is probably going to be $75 dollars. But the point of the special edition is to make me feel like I got a good deal, not drain almost a week of rent

Please explain yourself because this just seems wrong.

From the Awakening thread:

Zoran posted:

Since I'm already talking about this, I might as well explain why I prefer male Robin and female Morgan. It's true that female Robin gives you one extra Galeforce unit. However, she's never going to be special. Sure, she has all the classes, but class access only matters if you're going to finish in a given class or you need a skill from it. Like all female leads, Female Robin almost always wants to run LB/GF/Proc/Proc/Faire. The thing is there's a bevy of second-gen girls who can do that much better than she can: Sumia!Lucina, Chrom!Cynthia, Virion!Severa, Lon'qu!Severa, and Gaius!Kjelle or Gaius!Noire have clearly better stats and also have all the skills and finishing classes they could want.

What you get from female Robin is a mediocre female lead and the possibility of a super-powered son. The extra action per turn largely goes to waste because Apotheosis doesn't have high enemy density—on a full team, you probably won't even use all your available attacks every turn. Morgan can be a fast Galeboy, but the mechanics behind dual strikes mean that he only wants to take the lead once per turn.

For male Robin, on the other hand, having all the classes really matters. He doesn't personally care about speed because he's always in the back, so you can give him +4 Str/+2 Skl or +4 Mag without sacrificing the ability to double anyone. (+Spd can still be a good option for Morgan's sake, though!). He can pick any supporting class as needed, and—uniquely among males—he can have ALL of the accuracy skills along with high Strength. And if you go magical and marry Lucina, he can lead despite not having Galeforce because he comes with V/V built in.

Unlike her male counterpart, female Morgan has unique options beyond just making more math happen. It's possible for her to get Aether (in which case she makes more math happen than her brother anyway). Galeforce+Tomefaire Valkyrie is basically her personal class; the only other one is Henry!Cynthia, who doesn't have the +5 speed needed to really take advantage of it. And as the only lead unit who can have more than +6 speed and marry a Berserker, she can be a better physical lead than anyone else.

Male and female Morgan end up being roughly equal in terms of potential, but male Robin is special in a way that female Robin isn't.

Well if she's a DLC unit then she'll probably only be able to marry the avatar so that'll technically be her only option again, sorta.

On a similar note Maribelle should also replace one of the returning Awakening characters because she too is the best.
