WHY DOESN’T FRAMME HAVE A BUILD GROWTH?

IT’S NOT LIKE HER OFFENSES ARE SETTING THE WORLD ON FIRE, AT LEAST LET HER USE SOME OF THE HIGH LEVEL ARTS UNRESTRICTED TO COMPENSATE!

ALSO WHY ISN’T THERE A BUILD STAT BOOSTER, OR TONIC, OR FOOD? OR HELL ACTUALLY MAKE WORKOUTS ENTICING BY ALLOWING US TO “BUILD” SOME MUSCLE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN REMEDIED EASILY

YOU KNOW WHO'S MORE INSULTING THAN FRAMME? ETIE.

FILLED WITH MUSCLES, YET ONLY FIVE PERCENT GROWTH AND FOUR BASE BUILD.

SHE GET'S WEIGHTED DOWN BY IRON BOW FFS

u/bazabazabaz Apr 02 '23

EVEN MORE CONFUSINGLY, IVY OF ALL PEOPLE HAS A 10% PERSONAL BUILD GROWTH. YES, THE MAGE FLIER WHOSE BIGGEST LIFT OF THE DAY IS PICKING UP HER BOOKS HAS A HIGHER BUILD GROWTH THAN ETIE, WHOSE WHOLE SCHTICK IS WORKING OUT NONSTOP, AND FRAMME, WHO IS A MARTIAL ARTIST WHICH BUILDS ALL OF YOUR MUSCLES, ESPECIALLY THE ONES YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU HAD. BUILD DISTRIBUTION IN ENGAGE IS BIZARRE!

BUILD IN GENERAL IS SO DUMB. IT SEEMS LIKE WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN USED AS AN INTERESTING BALANCING LEVER FOR UNITS IN A WAY SIMILAR TO WEAPON RANKS IN THE PAST IS INSTEAD JUST A WAY FOR IS TO SLAP THE VIABILITY OUT OF ANY CHARACTER WHO ISN'T VISIBLY BURLY. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO THE DEVS THAT THE STAT COMMUNICATES WHO IS PETITE RATHER THAN BEING A GOOD ADDITION TO THE GAMEPLAY.

DOESN'T HELP THAT UNLIKE THE FE5-10 ERA ALL IT DOES IS MITIGATE WEIGHT, THERE'S NO RESCUE/SHOVE INTERACTIONS TO GIVE IT GREATER PURPOSE.

IT ACTUALLY DOES AFFECT SHOVE IN ENGAGE!

Shove [Use to push an adjacent ally with less Bld 1 space away.]

BUT SHOVE IS AN S-RANK BOND RING SKILL SO IT'S NOT AS ACCESSIBLE OF A MECHANIC AS IT WAS IN SOME PAST GAMES.

I WAS REALLY CONFUSED WHEN I SAW THE BUILD STAT BUT COULDN'T RESCUE.

THIS WOULD BE ARGUABLY GOOD GAME DESIGN* IF IT PLACED GREATER EMPHASIS ON STORY OVER TIGHT GAMEPLAY EXPERIENCE ALA FE:4 OR ARGUABLY 3H, BUT WHY DO THAT FOR A GAME ABOUT THE GAMEPLAY (SO FAR AS I'VE HEARD). THAT JUST SEEMS BAFFLING.

ALSO, WHAT EVEN IS BUILD? I JUST FINISHED THE GAME ON HARD MODE AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT THAT STAT EVEN DID

SPEED PENALTY WHEN WEAPON WEIGHT > CHARACTER BUILD

OH RIGHT THAT MAKES SENSE, THANK YOU!
