Does Niles have any non-terrible supports? So far any interaction I've seen between him and a female character has ranged from rude to creepy to straight up "ey babe, wanna bang? I'll show you a good time. ...Well, then gently caress you. loving prude."

I wanna unlock his ostensibly cooler daughter, but I can't bring myself to inflict him upon any of the virtual characters in my video game box.

His supports with Elise, Effie and Leo are all pretty good.

His one with azura is just them sitting around talking about how they're both lovely assholes that try not to interact with others.

wait how is keaton's outfit out of place in the setting??? i genuinely don't understand



he has it unbuttoned but it just looks like a normal medieval dress suit? it's got the puffy sleeves, it's got the right kind of buttons. the weird belt things on his pants are kind of off but im not an expert on medieval men's fashion and it's not like they're a super prominent part of the design.

Setsuna, Felicia and Beruka are probably the worst overall.

Rinkah and Nyx are bad for almost everyone but can potentially make some good kids. Rinkah!Ignatius and Nyx!Rhajat, Ophelia, Forrest are all good and give good stats and classes.

The key is to match them up with characters whose growths they won't hurt too much, of which they generally have a few to choose from. Rinkah won't hurt Silas, Hinata, Takumi or Kaden too much; generally they'll lose either HP or Strength (except Hinata who loses both) but make up for it with Skill, Speed and Defense. I'm not really sure why they decided to make HP and Strength the weak stats of a muscular warrior woman, but I've found the best approach to be balancing stats out rather than trying to double down on whatever the father was already good at. It's kind of case-by-case, though, and it's generally not worth worrying about on any difficulty. Just pair up people whose supports you like.

Or so I say but I'm also the guy who will sit there and fiddle with the Inheritance Planner for far longer than I should trying to come up with an ideal team.

depends on avatar's boon, but it makes a wolffsegner kana which can be very good since velouria has good growths on her own and can be put in a non-gimmick class but kana is kinda eh and can use the beaststones as a crutch

At this point I probably won't do anything other than +STR -Luck because all that strength really helped on Birthright Hard and probably helps on Conquest too.

Taken independent of context if you show me that image I'm gonna assume your game is set in some kind of 20th/21st century equivalent setting. It's a pretty basic litmus test. Not as dumb as Fredericks suit armor combo in Awakening but Awakening is like some kind of art design natural disaster. Keaton merely has the honor of "looking like a dingus".

maybe not like the 1200s but fates isn't really going for that early of an aesthetic? the design cues have always been a 1500-1800 grabbag

Not those kinds of suits, no, they most certainly did not. Early modern you'd have more of a case, but that's not really the time period Fire Emblem calls to mind.

This is a medieval dress suit. It's basically the same thing as Keaton wears but buttoned more formally.

Basically that stuff Endorph said.

Can confirm it makes a good Velouria, though it's kind of hard to ruin Velouria as her base growths are absolutely amazing. Having a second strong durable frontliner with draconic hex was pretty helpful on my lunatic run.

Agreed though that would still be closer to the time period Fire Emblem is typically evoking than the goddamn French Revolution. High Middle Ages would be the best touchstone.

Keaton looks like a guy who should be serving shots in a bar. :shrug:

Fire Emblem characters these days are modules of quirks designed to be shipped. If that doesn't bother you, hey, that's great. For me they're something distasteful I kinda try to not look directly at.

He went up to the cashier to purchase the suit with the finest of his rocks, but along the way he got lost and wound up in the middle of hoshido.
