he did a bunch of character art for the ds ones, then instead of using that art they went with those awful 3d renders in-game

Doctor Goat posted:he's a piece of poo poo and i think all archers in the series not named rebecca are shinon in radiant dawn is good for an archer but any unit without the ability to counterattack at melee range is at a severe disadvantage because a lot of fire emblem strategy is in enemy phase management and they dont really get to do much of that

6 hard is definitely more difficult than 7 hector hard mode, minus one or two lategame units being unexpectedly made excellent thanks to poorly thought out hard mode mechanicsbabypolis posted:if dodgy enough they can be good at holding a line since you wont counter kill dudes in front of you but you can shoot and kill anyone trying to snipe from the back. but yeah they are kinda weak and i dont get why intelligent systems treats them as if they are op giving you 1 or 2 each game with terrible growths i mean yeah if you just want to plug a hole thats fine but you will pretty much always have a non-ranged unit who's either just as dodgy or fairly tanky and will actually kill poo poo as well as plug the hole. in the post-gba games you can also just unequip a weapon on a melee unit if you want to do that same thing so archers dont even really have that going for them

6 has its charms and some maps i really like but its hard to argue 7 isnt a better thought out game in most respects and it compares most unfavorably if you play it directly after 7, which is when most americans play it for the obvious reason

darealkooky posted:if they release good fire emblem games for like 5 bux or whatever they charge for gba games on the nintendo funstore then nintendo won't be able to sell as many 40 dollars + DLC copies of fire emblem awakening given that awakening like doubled the second best selling fire emblem in sales, i dont think thats much of a concern

darealkooky posted:in 7 if you don't go to a random house in a side quest you don't get canas, the only person in the whole game who can use dark magic athos can too but thats a technicality being one of two characters who can use dark magic is notable when the thing that kills the final boss easiest is one particular dark tome this is one thing i like about 6, there's an alternate character + prepromote for nearly every class. now, whether those characters are worth an iota of your time is a different question

Doctor Goat posted:you can't get an infinite number of any item you want this + stats being lower across the board so effective damage vs flyers mattered more + 1-2 range swords/axes/lances typically had high weight and poor accuracy relative to damage

flyers are so situational a thing to specifically guard against. pegasi can be handled by just about anyone due to being made of wet paper and wyverns are better handled by mages due to not having resistance worth a drat. and its not like the good archers can take damage for poo poo either, both mages and the archers that can actually do things survive based on dodging

it still wouldnt work because a lot of the strength of pair up is being able to hide a more fragile unit, or pair a slow but powerful unit with a flyer, so unless they went back to like unit weight and move penalties i dont see it ever being remotely balancedDoctorStrangelove posted:gently caress you pair up was a lot of fun, it just needed to be more balanced with high levels and support ranks. what about it did you even like. what about its inclusion changes the game for the better
