Chrom and Camilla are paired up together in Heroes' opening movie, so I'd say that shipping chart checks out. Apparently Lucina's cheating on one of Roy or Xander though.

So was CamusZeke not wearing a mask in Gaiden either or have they just finally given up on pretending it's not him?

They should just go all in on their lovely roster decisions and let you play as a tag-team of Dolph and Macellan or whatever.

Re: roster chat, you know who would offer something really unique mechanically and also serve as that out of left field character that no one expects? Xane. I'm not sure how exactly they would implement his gimmick, but it has the potential to be really cool, and while he's mostly just this weird one off character in Shadow Dragon, he actually has some plot relevance in New Mystery.

Julia is cool because she has a character arc told almost entirely through a gameplay mechanic. Gameplay/story integration is one of the areas where fe4 really excels.

ashnard is literally riding an evil dragon and wearing a medallion with the power of a dark god, i get your point (the final boss is still a person who you have actually been introduced to) but

Rajaion wasn't evil, just hopped up on berserk drugs. :colbert:

He was probably kind of a selfish rear end in a top hat, though, since basically all the named Goldoans are in their own way. (yes even Kurth (okay maybe not Gareth))

Actually Lifis just straight up being an immoral rear end in a top hat makes him cool and interesting, especially in the context of Thracia's theme of "Your ragtag army is fighting against impossible odds and needs every bit of help it can get, regardless of who it's from."

Extremely hot take incoming, but I feel like it almost would have been better if they had just been totally upfront and unapologetic about the incest instead of washing the player's hands of any responsibility for their choices. Like, incest is definitely weird and gross, but if two siblings genuinely want to bang it out I'm not actually sure what grounds I have to object without just devolving into :biotruths:, ethically speaking.

Tharja if her supports weren't such a goddamn mess and contradictory with Noire's :argh:

I mean, wasn't that kind of the point? That our version of Tharja is so much more well adjusted than the version from the everyone dies timeline that their respective behaviors would appear completely contradictory from Noire's perspective?

Anyway, I'm total poo poo at picking favorites but I voted for Cervantes every day of CYL because memes are good.

The dumbest thing about this is that even if you accept at face value the premise that Lincoln=bad and Confederacy=good, the argument still doesn't make any sense. The extent of the Ashnard comparison is basically just "they both had four generals and I found pictures where they look vaguely similar to their counterparts," which amounts to jack and poo poo, and crap like "Ike worked to unify the continent of Tellius, while Abraham Lincoln worked to divide the "United" States of America" is just completely false on both counts regardless of how warped your worldview is. The stuff about Sherman is mostly spot on, though, I'll admit.

Echoes' nonexistent map design is somewhat redeemed I feel by enemy stats scaling well enough that an empty box where the enemies charge at you can still pose a somewhat interesting challenge. Of course, they still mucked this up by forgetting to actually put enemies in half of the empty boxes.

I really like the desert map in 9, because I'm a sucker for weird side objectives and figuring out how to get all the treasures AND max out bexp is a fun puzzle, even if it's probably more optimal to just kill things instead. Same goes for the stealth chapter. I can take or leave the priest chapter though, probably because it's so close to the end that gimmicks feel unnecessary.

Honestly, more than any character, what I want most from smash in terms of FE rep is some stages. Give me a Grima's Back stage you cowards.

Cattail Prophet
Apr 12, 2014

Someone joked about it earlier, but Riven Bridge is probably genuinely one of the most iconic and recognizable locales in the series, even if it is for the wrong reasons. It doesn't really have any potential for interesting design that isn't already filled by Bridge of Eldin, though. Other stage ideas:

Whatever the name is of the castle where the Black Knight fight takes place. Black Knight could show up to fight Pyrosphere/Wily's Castle style, and when you kill him the stage falls apart.
From Fates, people mentioned Valla, and I think Notre Sagesse and Fort Dragonfall have potential too.
Any of the GBA endgame maps.

Shadow Dragon was actually my first FE, and in that context I thought it was fine, although I don't think I knew about the gaidens at the time. Subpar for the series? Sure. But I don't, like, regret playing it or anything.

Inflammatory posted:

remember when people hacked hyrule warriors to swap characters' movesets, so you got link doing all of lana's cutesy dances and poses, and how funny that was? now imagine somebody doing that for fe:w and how no one would care, aside from i guess the possibility to play as cordelia with a moveset that doesn't blow rear end.

Iirc this wasn't actually hacking. It was a weird glitch that I think ended up getting patched out, and it had something to do with going into co-op mode and screwing around with the character selections somehow? Also I think you could only do it with Link for some reason? Your point still stands though.

Hey, you were using smash's lack of story as justification for why Ike in smash is a fundamentally different situation from Ike in warriors, but this statement you made about warriors' story also applies to brawl, aka the smash that introduced Ike.

Chrom is a... Roy echo? Everyone assumed he would be an Ike echo if he got in, but in retrospect, Roy is definitely a better fit. Chrom's fighting style really isn't quite as heavy as Ike's, so Roy makes a nice middle ground between him and Marth/Lucina.
