Off-topic, am I alone in wanting a re-master of Radiant Dawn? Or is nostalgia just fooling me. Sacred Stones too.

I think you could just port the GBA games to the Switch but full remasters, as opposed to remakes, for PoR and Radiant Dawn would be good.

Radiant Dawn need more than a remaster imo. Path of Radiance they could just update the graphics and QoL and make no gameplay or script changes though

I'd love a Sacred Stones remake if only for having Mark Whitten voicing Lyon the whole game through.

Though the GBA art is perfect so really they could just voice the game and not change anything else. Also on being forced to fight Edelgard that would require a lot more rewrites because otherwise it would feel contrived. Like the tragedy there wouldn't be fighting her, it's that you can't join her, because she's right even on the other routes.

cheetah7071 posted:Radiant Dawn need more than a remaster imo. Path of Radiance they could just update the graphics and QoL and make no gameplay or script changes though oh, and the game needs another axe user. the game has a weird issue where, like, heres every axe user in fe9. titania: the most busted unit in the game boyd: totally fine chapter 1 fighter, no complaints *deadspace for 10 chapters* kieran: axe cav. *deadspace for 10 chapters* largo: totally fine prepromo berserker haar: totally fine prepromo wyvern lord. jill and the cavs' promotions alleviate this somewhat, but still, a guy who joins between boyd and kieran's join chapters would alleviate the problem massively. there's a pirate in chapter 9 with an intro scene for no real reason, a relatively normal looking design compared to most generic pirate bosses, and battle and death quotes that paint him as more comedy relief than scourge of the seas. just make that guy playable and give him a couple comedy supports with like, devdan, largo, brom. easy enough fix. speaking of supports implementing the cut ones would be ideal. quote:Stefan/Tauroneo, Sothe/Volke, Astrid/Tanith, Tanith/Volke, Ranulf/Tauroneo, Lucia/Titania, Marcia/Mia, Mist/Tormod, Mist/Volke, Muarim/Stefan, Nephenee/Mia, Oscar/Astrid, Reyson/Ulki, Kieran/Lethe, Gatrie/Bastian, Geoffrey/Kieran, Geoffrey/Bastian, Haar/Sothe, Haar/Ulki, Ike/Zihark, Janaff/Reyson, Janaff/Sothe, Shinon/Mist, Devdan/Makalov, Elincia/Jill, Elincia/Lucia, Elincia/Muarim, Elincia/Nephenee, Elincia/Tauroneo, Boyd/Devdan, Calill/Shinon, Brom/Geoffrey, Brom/Makalov A few of these are pretty random (I've got no idea what Stefan/Tauroneo would be) but I like a lot of the ones here, and there's references to them in both FE9 and even FE10. (There's that gag where Mist is worried about Volke that Mist/Volke would presumably play off of, Sothe/Volke could explain why Sothe's so much better at knife fighting in FE10 besides just 'he got older,' Geoffrey/Kieran would explain why Kieran became Geoffrey's right hand man in FE10, etc.) And there's some I just wanna see, like Marcia/Mia or Calill/Shinon. Oh, and a playable crow besides Naesala, but that one's just me liking crows, there's no real gameplay distinction between crows and hawks that isn't already expressed by the gameplay distinction between Ulki and Janaff. But these are minor enough tweaks that it would still be a lot less than a full remake. Endorph fucked around with this message at 07:19 on Mar 4, 2021 |

o yea wrt remastering the fes (it would rule if they were all on the switch!) i feel like 6-8 probably wouldn't need it besides like, turnwheels, danger zone, skipping enemy phase... uhh maybe remove the support limit or like, only have a certain number active at a time??

i mean keep in mind its less about what they 'need' and more about what the company feels like they can profit from. fe6 (and honestly fe9) would absolutely be big money makers, theyve got roy and ike. theyd probably want them to be impressive and feel new so people can go 'this is impressive and feels new' in previews

Fe9 was made easier during its localization process and western release, right? If that's the case, what are y'all-who-played-it's thoughts on its hardest mode, especially in relation to the Lunatic equivalents in the other entries in the series? Is it a tough but fair escalation of the game's mechanics, or is it more just dumb and silly?

Once you get past Oliver's wild ride every other chapter has like 6 siege tome sages you have to tediously bait out, it's pretty good before then though. I unintentionally iron manned it without losing Ike once so it's not like it's super crazy outside that one mega chapter Clash's bullshit

One fun quirk of Maniac mode is that since Tanith's reinforcements are generated using the same method used to generate enemies, they scale with difficulty. Her falcon knight is your strongest unit until nearly the end of the game.

The big thing with FE9's Maniac mode is that there are an absolute shitload of enemy units, and they are annoyingly sturdy, so it just makes what is already the slowest game in the series even slower. It makes using units that aren't Titania and units abusing the crit bug forges something you want to avoid if only to maintain your sanity.

On the flip side, I'd also play a game where Eirika and Ephraim's roles are swapped

Rerelease FE9 with a speedup button and the cut supports and I will buy it no questions asked. Then give me FE10 but with actual supports. Supports supports supports. Supports.

Supports are for seeing characters you like interact with each other. Please just put development in the main story

Radiant Dawn doesn't necessarily need supports, but it does need some sort of dialogue involving the new characters. Like, I like Danved's character design and the brief bit of dialogue he does get, but an introduction cutscene does not a character make.

With how many characters are in FE games, it's impossible to put development for all of them in the main story. Some FE games manage giving the characters besides the main lord(s) relevance in main story dialogue better than others, but still. FE9 is probably the ideal for that, and there's still people like Makalov who wouldnt even exist if supports didn't. I don't think there's anything wrong with putting character development in supports. Over relying on them is a problem, but three houses isn't at all an example of that imo. edit: and fe10 absolutely needs supports. the fact is every fe game does, at this point. it doesn't need every character to have 20 or anything but name a personality trait of leonardo's. go ahead.

I finished Fire Emblem Thracia 776. It's good. The last map is very difficult. Thank god I had 6 A rank staff users to help me sling warps and rescues and sleeps and silences to get through that mess. RIP to Alfred, who died in chapter 19 because I was having exactly none of it after having just recruited Xavier, and Conomore, who also died in chapter 19, because I didn't recruit him for similar reasons, and I assume that staying on the Empire's side means after the war he was summarily executed.

permanent character death doesn't mesh well with having every character in story scenes after their introduction. I guess you could have everyone be "too hurt to fight" instead of dying but that gets weird after enough people die

tbh I dont think they're all bad per se but the usual complaint about how bloated they feel is how repetitive and tropey the C supports are, which kinda supports the general issue with supports as character development; you have to write them so they can be seen in any order and so many of them establish the same character traits in order for that to work.

Yeah I kinda wish the character writing was just... there and presented in a logical way rather than locking it behind supports when you increase your support level your units should instead perform an increasingly complex series of handshakes/fistbumps commensurate with their support level or now that we're firmly out of 2D-sprite-animation land maybe some unique little animations that play out in the attack/defense phases when you park your units in Support Range of one another

i've always thought supports are a pretty logical way of handling that kind of thing, two characters hang out on the battlefield together often enough and they start chatting with each other. the way some supports frame the proximity as coincidence and others as orders from a commander is fun. i suppose less so in three houses where non-byleth supports are selected from a menu though
