could just pull some astral plane bullshit out i mean really are we bringing logic into the game *only * when it comes to gay pairings for some reason

Option 1. gently caress it it's a video game I dunno you passed on dragon powers via magic.

Option 2. Make them the avatar's secondary class, give them a different paralogue.

Option 3. At least give us Nina.

Even if you wanted to assume you couldn't pass down magical dragon powers in a gay relationship, just make Kana's base class be like Strategist or something in that case.

ways for gay people to have kids with each other are already being researched, in the real world, with science. In a fantasy setting with incredible magic that can do stuff like instantly cure wounds, teleport people, create stone golems, and completely alter the fabric of reality, I don't think it would be a plot hole for a gay wizard to have, at some point, devoted his life to how to make gay babies, and succeeded in figuring out how to make gay babies.

the pair-up system in fates is cool because you usually don't want to be in guard stance and the dual attacks make you focus on the positioning of both your units and the enemy.

I think there are a couple of scripted instances of them going into it, but I don't think it's something the AI can just do on its own. Probably because for their purposes (Slowing the player down and trying to wear one of their units down) it'd pretty much always be the best option

Or, gently caress, there's more than a few folklore stories about childless couples being blessed with a random baby out of loving nowhere, so just give them kids because the universe or the gods answered their fervent wishes and those kids just happen to share their parents' traits because they were literally made of their parents hopes and dreams.

yeah sadly it's mostly just units of the same type paired up, though there's a couple of instances of mid-bosses getting paired up in odd combos. Peri and Laslow do it like three times in Birthright.

also, the weird thing about Effie is that her actual dialogue in her supports is pretty much the same - all sweet and kind, kind of unaware of just how ridiculously strong she is - they just gave her a really unfitting voice to try and trick you into thinking she's a sully repeat? it's bizarre. I guess she's a little shorter with people in some of her conversations? But comparing those skinship lines to


quote:

Effie: Twelve people? Goodness, no. This is simply my lunch—nothing more.
Avatar: I see. Well, Elise is lucky to have someone like you on her side.
Effie: Thank you for the kind words! I do hope I'm doing an adequate job for her.

is kind of weird. It makes me think maybe the right hand wasn't talking to the left hand.

Effie's voice doesn't match up with her really placid appearance and it's weird. I think it was said she was originally very soft spoken and I think that would work a lot better.

So if hybrid str/magic isn't great does that mean doing +Skill isn't a good route?
Although I'm probably just going to start with Birthright on Normal to get back into FE mode so does it really matter?

Your lv10 skill as the first class is a skill based proc for 1.5x damage

+Skill gives more activations for your level 10 skill so sure go for it. Especially on Birthright Normal.

he was just a generic stoic swordsman in japanese, they added all sorts of weird pickle lines to his my room clips but didn't add them to all of his supports, just his romantic one with the female avatar, so he just looks like a lunatic.

I haven't played a FE game since the one that was on the GBA, but love both big anime boobs and strategy RPGs. Managed to snag a FE NN3DS and got a copy of Conquest since there are other 3DS games I was kind of meaning to play at some point.
