Nihilarian posted:The way heroes did it (before i left) was the worst. It was impossible to tell what any unit had at a glance, you had to check everything. And there wasnt a prep screen, where they might have put in an enemy list for easy checking Heroes started out with similar skill loads to Fates, but that just about worked because you only had to worry about four or so units. Then they bloated the individual skills so every skill could act like five skills. And they made maps have dozens of respawning enemies, with their own unique skills. It stops being workable pretty quick.

Amppelix posted:yes, that's what they're saying. you needed to get nils to level 7 during that very short time. (well, "needed," if you really want to see this one bonus chapter) Oh that's some requirement for 1 single line of dialogue. Also I just notice this in FE7 compared to Awakening. There are a lot more normal names versus fantasy names. Like whole of Black Fang have these exotic names than there is a dude who is a general called Brendan. Also Matthew the thief , even Mark the tactician. It's like having one of Aragorn's friends in the fellowship of the ring be called Bob. I don't really mind it but it's kinda funny.

For Elibe, a lot of the characters name draw from Arthurian Myth, French Myth (mostly the song of Roland) and a bit of Celtic/Welsh. It's how we had Lugh and Lleu but the latter was meant to be pronounced "Ray" which is also how you're supposed to pronounce Raigh his english localized name.

Camilla's name always messes with me a little bit because "camilla" (pronounced similar to Platinum Games' developer Hideki 'Kamiya') is what hospital beds are commonly called. Manuela in 3H was just unfortunate, though.

Even Awakening had a decent mix. Robin, Lissa, Maribelle, Kellam, Henry... I could go on, but at least half the cast have "normal" Anglo-Saxon style names.

Ya I guess those are pretty normal and lots of names have European ancestry but those names don't feel as common these days compared to Brendan except maybe Henry. Anyway this chapter 22 is hard as balls. Paul and Jasmine the axe bro bosses are tough as poo poo + they outspeed so many units. Unfortunately I have spent all the previous chapters feeding my cavalry units. I am having trouble reaching Pent + Hawkeye and getting the items near the bones.

Do you have a strong flyer for this? Usually I rely on Florina to spirit away Pent immediately. I wouldn't stress about reaching every item, though. I think Fila's Might and the Body Ring should be top priority, and the Ocean Seal if you're using Dart. The rest are good but there are plenty of opportunities to get a Hero Crest, I personally care little for the Light Brand, and Eclipse is basically worthless (entirely useless if you aren't running Canas at all.)

(Please skip if you've never played Genealogy and are following Metis' fantastic LP) I just finished replaying FE4 as a refresher for Professor Metis' LP: I had forgotten how much of a pain that fight against the triplets that accompany Ishtar's last stand is. Thank loving god Ares, Arthur and Ced turned out decent, because Manfroy and Julius + the deadlords were goddamn pushovers in comparison to these three, even when deciding to forego using Julia.

I think the only Mother of Roy that is meant to be dead between FE6 & 7 is Ninian ("short life", I think Bramimond's miracle was probably meant to be short? idk 100% tho). All the other wives are just like "drat i love Eliwood and also my son" and I think neither the epilogue or FE6 imply anything about them.

Hector/Lyn gets extra scenes and the most logical explanation for why Lyn's part of Lycia gets folded into Ostia in between the two games, so I think that's as canon as it ever gets.

Eliwood and Ninian are super obviously canon. Roy being part dragon makes a lot of FE6 have a bit more weight, on top of the fact that the main game basically advances along the plotline of them being romantic interests. Plus her dying explains why Roy's mother isn't around in FE6. For Hector, I assume Farina's meant to be the canon one due to being exclusive to his route, but who knows. All his paired endings are just find and replace jobs with Lyn/Florina/Farina's name as his wife so there's no real info to glean there. You'd think they'd bother to go 'and also caelin and ostia got combined' in the Lyn and Hector ending if it was meant to be canon. And Florina gets a unique scene with Hector too.

Caelin also comes across as a fairly minor territory even by the standards of the Lycean League, and by the end of the game has seen both a successor conflict and SEVERAL external invasions within a fairly short period of time. With Lyndis returning to Sacae in most endings, the minor territory that now has nobody in the line of succession, and has seen what would realistically be a fair amount of damage, getting folded into a major territory isn't remotely surprising. There are certainly unique scenes between Lyn and Hector, but those scenes are nowhere near as explicitly romantic as Eliwood and Ninian or get anywhere near as much story focus. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that pairing, but any of his pairings work fine and it's nowhere near as implicitly canon as something like Eliwood/Ninian or Chrom/Sumia, where the game beats you over the head with non-support romantic scenes.

Nothing terribly heavy, but it gives them similar lines to the other implied couples who show up. Eliwood talks some about how Lyn's a better fighter than he is.

I think a lot of them have too many flourishes, and too much time spinning the weapon around with one hand. And the Sol Katti adds in the boob physics for some reason. Although I do like the little flash of light you get when you start combat with a legendary weapon.

They're also mostly comically oversized to the point of insanity. Like Durandal is just casually longer than Eliwood is tall and he's swinging that poo poo with ease one handed.
