I haven’t tried Bow Hanneman myself, but I always figured his best feature would be brave-effect magic with Magic Bow Hunter's Volley

Gunter is only a Jeigan in one route. Though him rejoining partway through Conquest with massively boosted stats is really funny. What kinda stat items was he popping offscreen.

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
I'm replaying FE7 and I realized that there is still one question that I have never seen answered in all of my seventeen years playing this series.

what the gently caress does Prf stand for

(I also learned that you can check shop inventories from the prep screen, but not mid-chapter, a thing I also did not know for seventeen years)

So you know how in Radiant Dawn 3-4 there's the mission where you need to burn the Begnion supplies in the senator's camp? And there are all the green unit Horses that you can release to rampage around the camp?

Just found out yesterday that mounted units can Rescue the horses. Which brings up some...interesting visuals.

Yeah my wife is replaying RD for like the third time and she's made it her goal to steal everything she possibly can this time, even to the extent of save-scum Disarming certain items. It takes her like three hours to finish each mission but to be fair she's coming away from every match with Heather's inventory completely stuffed.

I've also been replaying RD lately, mostly just trying to play around with cheats in Dolphin. So far I've only managed to get infinite money and BEXP working.

Incidentally, did you know that if you BEXP Muarim all the way up to level 40 he'll cap every stat? I just thought that was interesting.

I too wanted to get off of Mr. Fuga's wild ride.

That level alone probably took longer than every level before it combined.

Also to fuel the Ike x Ranulf shipping, the first time Eternal Bond plays is 3-4, which is the first map where Ranulf is a playable unit for the Greil Mercenaries and the goal is "Get Ike and Ranulf to the top of the mountain together."

Honestly it’s a wonder Conquest was initially as praised as it was with the one-two punch of Fuga’s Wild Ride and The Stairway of Golems.

I don't remember having as much trouble with fuuga & the staircase. Or rather, not any more notable length than the rest of the maps.

Revelation, however. I felt the burn.

Because vets were coming off Awakening which they absolutely hated, so anything Not-Awakening/Birthright was considered amazing.

Hey that's not fair, chapter 8 was a relatively small fortress with 4 characters and a ton of enemies. Totally different!

Mustafa being in the game on its own wouldn't be that crazy (so far as one-off bosses people find him memorable) but he's a banner unit too (albeit a demote).
As an awakening unit he beat out:
Kellam
Vaike
Miriiel
Ricken
Gregor
Basilio
Flavia
Laurent
Severa
Yen'fey
Priam
Excellus
Cervantes
Validar

Also normal versions of Noire & Inigo

You say that like that would make it harder and not just tedious since Revelation enemies are kind of just weak trash to be bulldozed over by the units with good bases.

Oh to be clear I am saying it in the scenario of "this would be really tedious" because more than anything else, this is the Revelation calling card.

Yeah, marcus is great. Keep in mind that since there's not unlimited exp and theres no pairup for him to function as a statstick you shouldnt like, have him literally solo maps. (This is NOT telling you not to use him at all, just use him for specific objectives where you need to kill some enemies quickly, or bailing people out of trouble)

Ya I kind learned that from my first Awakening playthrough. Investing in more than one unit is better, it reminds me of Pokemon, ya you could have a overleveled starter but at some point you get checked by someone and it's not as fun as using a bunch of different Pokemon .

Rev has pretty high enemy quality once you’re into Valla, which really only serves to make its gimmicks that much more tedious
