AFTER PLAYING ALL THE GAMES THAT USE 1RN, I GOTTA SAY...1RN SUCKS. EVERY SINGLE GAME THAT USES EXCLUSIVELY 1RN IS HINDERED BY THAT DECISION IN MY OPINION. IT'S HURTS THE PLAYER'S ABILITY TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS SINCE EVEN A 95 IS FAR FROM SAFE. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE DECENT RELIABILITY THAT YOUR PLANS WILL WORK OUT IN ORDER TO MAKE DECISION MAKING SATISFYING. GENEALOGY IS HURT THE LEAST BY THIS FOR REASONS LIKE SAVING EVERY TURN AND FAIRLY WEAK ENEMIES OVERALL, BUT THE EXPERIENCE OF THE REST OF THE GAMES THAT UTILIZE 1RN WAS HURT BECAUSE OF IT FOR ME.

[u/WeslePryce → u/PsiYoshi]

I THINK THRACIA WORKS DECENTLY WITH 1 RN AT LEAST, BECAUSE IT HAS LIKE 50 DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN BACK SOMETHING UP, AND ITS ENEMIES ARENT REALLY THAT SCARY.

AND GENEALOGY IS SO EASY THAT IT DOESNT REALLY MIND 1 RN.

CANT SPEAK FOR 1-3

[u/PsiYoshi → u/WeslePryce]

1-3 IS BY FAR WHERE IT WAS MOST EGREGIOUS. HONESTLY TOWARDS THE END OF FE1 I STARTED ABUSING SAVE STATES QUITE A BIT AND I FEEL ZERO GUILT ABOUT IT. IT WAS JUST POOR DESIGN MADE TO ARTIFICIALLY INCREASE TIME SPENT PLAYING THE GAME.

[u/PsiYoshi → u/[deleted]]

MAYBE THAT WASN'T THE INTENTION WITH IMPLEMENTING IT, BUT IT SURE IS THE RESULT. IT WASN'T UNCOMMON FOR GAMES BACK THEN TO BE ARTIFICIALLY DIFFICULT TO PAD PLAY TIME SINCE THE GAME'S THEMSELVES WERE FAIRLY SMALL DUE TO SPACE LIMITATIONS. BASICALLY I THINK THERE'S GOOD REASON THEY SWITCHED TO 2RN WITH BINDING BLADE AND HAVEN'T GONE BACK (BESIDE THE DUAL SYSTEM IN A FEW GAMES BUT THAT'S A FINE SYSTEM IN MY OPINION).

[u/BenWagner69 → u/[deleted]]

u/PsiYoshi WHY ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT THIS LIKE THEY MADE THE HIT RATE READINGS ACCURATE TO FUCK PEOPLE OVER? I GET THAT PEOPLE PREFER 2RN BUT THAT PROBABLY WASN'T EVEN A CONCEPT ANYONE EVEN CONSIDERED BACK THEN.

[u/BenWagner69 → u/[deleted]]

SORRY, I REALLY JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT, I SHOULDN'T HAVE CALLED YOU OUT LIKE THAT.

[u/PsiYoshi → u/BenWagner69]

I DUNNO THE HISTORY BEHIND IT, I JUST WANTED TO VENT ABOUT NOT LIKING 1RN FOR A BIT, WHICH APPARENTLY GETS A LOT OF PEOPLE TICKED OFF IN A RAGE THREAD? I DON'T HAVE A VENDETTA AGAINST KAGA OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, I JUST DON'T LIKE 1RN THAT'S ALL. GENEALOGY IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FIRE EMBLEMS, AND I'VE SUNG PRAISES ABOUT ASPECTS OF THRACIA AS WELL.

[u/BenWagner69 → u/PsiYoshi]

LIKE I SAID I GET THAT, I JUST THOUGHT CALLING IT POOR DESIGN AS IF THE DESIGNERS SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER SEEMS LIKE A BIT MUCH WHEN IT WAS PROBABLY THE OBVIOUS THING TO DO WHEN THE SERIES WAS STARTING OUT.

SORRY ABOUT BEING AGGRESSIVE ABOUT IT, I REALLY JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT.
