Your Roy is cooler than most of mine. Even if that Defense needs to shape up a bit.

Fir desperately needs her HM boosts more than most characters. The others are generally still good or at least fair without them (except one guy who's useless either way), but Fir is just so weak on normal. Of course, both Fir and Rutger struggle to reach their already low Str caps even on HM, but having just run through the game I don't find it a big deal as long as they hit their averages anyway. Rutger has his supports to make him strong and Fir dodges enough to be a viable tank even if she doesn't quite hit hard enough which is fine with me. I'm sure if I was trying to craft the optimal team she'd not make the cut, but I'm not a fan of some of the stronger characters anyway.

Berserker-man is an even bigger rear end in a top hat on hard, but with that kinda crit the power of his swings aren't as important as on most other bosses. Looking forward to the next few maps for sure!

I'm also going to savestate here and see which one of these gives me the nicest thing. And you know, that bow is nice, but we already have one that's still in good shape... and I've heard things about status staves.

Hmm... I'm wondering whether or not I support this decision, and it's a tough choice. Restore staves are certainly not a bad thing to have.

You should have Lilina grow facial hair as well and have her compete with Roy to see who has the most by the end of the game. You can base it on stat total or something.

Also I didn't notice that Ogier had his speed growth boostged until he got the +2 in this chapter.

Without changing her bases or growths, making her a Sage would be an improvement. She's a complete poo poo unit that should not be used past the map she's required for, and it's a map that actively hinders her one possible use. Being a Sage would at least remove the hindrance.

While sage would make better for that one map, having an 8 move healer can be pretty useful when all your other options are poo poo. As a dedicated staff/rescuebot her mobility is a big plus and she's actually pretty good in that role if Clairine fails to perform (likely).

Just boost her movement by 2, no need for class changes.

Also get rid of her from the sprite, and make her a talking horse healer.

One option for Cecilia could be to keep her bases the same but give her sky high growths. It would even make thematic sense because you could say she had to work her way back into fighting shape after being badly injured.

Cecilia starts with Pent's 20/20 averages, but she gets hit with a fon slot seal which unpromotes her and sets her down to the average level of your other characters. She then slowly unlocks the seal for the rest of the game, progressing at what is coincidentally the exact same rate your other characters grow at.

gently caress wait, wrong game.

I'm not sure why people act like it's so hard to make Cecilia usable. even ignoring that she's a decent staffbot in vanilla, it was pretty trivial to do it. if anything I'll probably have to nerf her for the final version, or at least script her learning Light and dark magic as optional side quests.
