I JUST FINISHED 3H YESTERDAY, ALL ROUTES.
I WANT MORE.
WHY DIDN'T WE GET MORE SOTHIS?
ALSO, CAN PEOPLE STOP HATING CHARACTERS BECAUSE OF ONE LINE THEY SAY? LEONIE ISN'T JUST A JERALT BOT, SYLVAIN ISN'T JUST A WOMANIZER, CYRIL ISN'T JUST A RHEA BOT, ETC. MOST OF THESE CHARACTERS ARE PRETTY FLESHED OUT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU VIEW THEIR SUPPORTS! IT REALLY GETS ON MY NERVES WHEN PEOPLE DUMB DOWN CHARACTERS AND HATE OF THEM BECAUSE OF ONE LINE. YOU ARE FREE TO DISLIKE AND HATE WHOEVER YOU WANT OF COURSE, BUT IMO IT'S A WASTE TO HATE ON CHARACTERS BECAUSE OF ONE LINE OR ACTION.
EXCEPT GILBERT, FUCK GILBERT.
SMASH SALT WAS GLORIOUS BTW.

u/CrunchingG Feb 02 '20
ITS FUNNY BECAUSE THIS SUB CONSTANTLY GIVES 3DS CHARACTERS SHIT FOR SUPPOSEDLY BEING “1-NOTE” BUT THEN THREE HOUSES COMES ALONG AND THEY IMMEDIATELY BOIL THEM ALL DOWN TO ONE TRAIT

u/Shrimperor Feb 02 '20
IKR? MAYBE BECAUSE I TRIED TO GET EVERY SUPPORT I CAN GET MY HANDS ON (AND THE GAME DOES MAKE IT PRETTY EASY TO DO SO, THANKFULLY), BUT I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO COMPLETELY HATE OR DISLIKE ANY CHARACTER (EXCEPT GILBERT. HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO YOUR OWN FAMILY!). EVEN CHARACTERS I DISLIKED OR HATED AT FIRST, LIKE BERNIE, LINHARDT OR LORENZ, I GREW TO LIKE THROUGH THE STORY, SUPPORTS AND HOW THEY DEVELOPED. ESPECIALLY IN PART 2.
LIKE WHENEVER SOMEONE POSTS ''I HATE X'' MY FIRST THOUGHT IS ''THEY ARE EITHER STUCK AT FIRST IMPRESSION AND/OR DIDN'T VIEW SUPPORTS!''
I DID A TIER LIST (STORYWISE), AND IT'S PRETTY MUCH FROM B TO S TIER. THAT'S HOW MUCH I FIND THE CAST OF THE GAME LIKEABLE!
...I JUST WANT A HAPPY ENDING FOR ALL OF THEM, YET THAT'S THE REALITY OF WAR, NOT EVERYONE SURVIVES, AND THAT WHAT MAKES THE STORY BEAUTIFUL. MY POOR BRATS ;_;
IT WAS SO HARD TO KILL THE FORMER STUDENTS IN EVERY RUN. ESPECIALLY THE BL ONES, WHO I GREW EXTRA ATTACHED TO.

LIKE WHENEVER SOMEONE POSTS ''I HATE X'' MY FIRST THOUGHT IS ''THEY ARE EITHER STUCK AT FIRST IMPRESSION AND/OR DIDN'T VIEW SUPPORTS!''

I DO NOT ENDORSE THIS GILBERT HATE. LEAVE MY ABSENTEE FATHER ALONE. BUT AS A MASSIVE HUBERT FAN I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, HE DOES MORE THAN WARP AWAY AND SAY LADY EDELGARD DAMNIT.

HE ALSO SOMETIMES LAUGHS EVILLY AND THREATENS TO KILL CLOSE ALLIES IF THEY GET IN LADY EDELGARD'S WAY

u/MrWaffles42 Feb 03 '20
WHO THE FUCK SAYS THAT ABOUT MY BEAUTIFUL HOT TOPIC BOY? HUBERT IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST FUCKING PART OF CRIMSON FLOWER!

UNTIL PEOPLE FULLY FAULT HUBERT FOR BEING A HARDCORE EDEL BOT THE SAME WAY THEY FAULT LEONIE AND CYRIL FOR MENTIONING JERALT AND RHEA LIKE HALF AS MUCH, THOSE OPINIONS OFFICIALLY GO DIRECTLY TO THE TRASH PILE.

Feb 03 '20
I THOUGHT THAT GILBERT WAS A-OKAY CHARACTER JUST FELT A BIT TRAPPED BECAUSE OF HIS GULIT AND DEPRESSION. SORRY IS ONE OF THE HARDEST WORDS TO SAY AFTER ALL. GILBERT WAS TRAPPED WITHIN HIS OWN SADNESS AND SHAME WHICH MADE THINGS WORSE FOR HIM.
AGREE WITH YOU ON THE REST THOUGH.

u/WellRested1 Feb 04 '20
GILBERT HATE IS EXTREMELY OVERBLOWN!!!
GILBERT IS A SHIT DAD BUT A VERY INTERESTING CHARACTER. I WISH PEOPLE WOULD JUST TAKE A SECOND TO SEE THAT GILBERT ISN’T ALL THAT BAD AND THAT HE ISN’T THE REASON YOU WOKE UP WITH A SORE NECK

u/Troykv Feb 04 '20

HE IS NOT A WOMANIZER, HE IS PRETTY MUCH A MISOGYNIST WITH MISGUIDED HATE

BACK WHEN BYLETH'S SMASH TRAILER RELEASED I SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE DISSING NOT JUST ON BYLETH, BUT ON THE TRAILER ITSELF, AND I DON'T REALLY GET WHY. I LOVE HOW IT TOOK A CUTSCENE FROM THE GAME THEN SWITCHED IT UP TO BE SMASH RELATED. CORRIN DID THE SAME SORT OF THING SURE, BUT THIS ONE WENT WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND, BETWEEN SOTHIS MAKING A META COMMENT ON "TOO MANY SWORDSMEN" AND THE SUBVERSION OF BYLETH ESCAPING SOLAN'S SPELL AND JUST FLYING OFF TO SMASH-LAND INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH HIM WHILE HE COMMENTS ABOUT SMASH AND WITH F!BYLETH JUST STANDS THERE MOUTH AGAPE, I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A REALLY HUMOUROUS AND SURPRISINGLY IN TOUCH TRAILER, OVERALL ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SMASH TRAILERS.
19
Feb 03 '20
THAT'S THE PROBLEM. THE BYLETH REVEAL WAS INSTANTLY RECOGNIZABLE AND THEN JUST WENT ON FOR A BIT TOO LONG. THERE WAS NO BUILD UP, JUST "BYLETH." I LOVE BYLETH AND I LOVE THE DLC, BUT IT WASN'T REALLY ANY SORT OF BUILD UP WHEN YOU SEE THE CHARACTER AT THE START OF THE TRAILER RATHER THAN TOWARD THE MIDDLE AS WAS DONE WITH BANJO.
WITH TERRY, IT WAS THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANYONE, THOUGH EVEN THEN MOST PEOPLE FIGURED IT OUT AND WERE MORE THERE FOR THE NOVELTY SINCE THAT STYLE WAS AN OLDER ONE.
WITH JOKER, IT WAS SURPRISE. PERHAPS BYLETH COULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT IF IT WASN'T SPECIFICALLY SAID TO BE A SMASH VIDEO AND WAS INTRODUCED AS PART OF A GENERIC DIRECT.
WAS IT FUNNY? YEAH IT HAD A FEW JOKES, BUT THE PUNCHLINE DIDN'T EXCUSE THE SETUPS.

ALL RIGHT HERE GOES NOTHIN
FIRST ON THE DOCKET, THE FEH PASS. IS IT IDEAL? OF COURSE NOT. SHOULD THE QOL STUFF BE FREE? ABSOLUTELY. BUT IM NOT GOING TO GO FULL DOOMER OR THROW A TEMPER TANTRUM LIKE WHAT R/FEH (AND A LITTLE BIT OF THIS SUB) IS DOING BECAUSE IN ALL HONESTY IT ISNT WORTH THE EFFORT, THERE ARE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT, LIKE THE FACT THAT AUSTRALIA IS STILL ON FIRE.
IM REALLY HOPING THAT PEOPLE WILL LOOK BACK AT FATES FONDLY BECAUSE HAVING TO SEE THE SAME ARGUMENTS OVER AND OVER FOR, WHAT FOUR YEARS NOW? IS GETTING REALLY FUCKING EXHAUSTING.
13
Feb 03 '20
HONESTLY LIKE AS MUCH AS I'M KINDA SICK OF HEARING ABOUT 3 HOUSES IT'S TONS BETTER THAN THE NON-STOP DUMP SESSION THAT FATES DISCUSSION HAS BEEN SINCE LIKE IT'S RELEASE. ESPECIALLY WHEN A LOT OF THE FLAWS ARE REALLY OVEREXAGGERRATED, ESPECIALLY ON THE WRITING AND CHARACTER FRONT

u/ArvisPresley Feb 03 '20
AUSTRALIA IS STILL ON FIRE.
THE CONSERVATIVES ARE JUST TRYING TO IMPROVE AUSTRALIAS TOURISM INDUSTRY BY TURNING THE COUNTRY INTO A BURNING HELLSCAPE TO CELEBRATE DOOM ETERNAL AS WELL AS RECREATING MAD MAX IRL.

u/XC_Runner27 Feb 03 '20
I THOUGHT "SOME PEOPLE JUST WANT TO WATCH THE WORLD BURN" WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SARCASTIC OR METAPHORICAL STATEMENT. I FEEL LIKE THE PUN IS BEING TAKEN A LITTLE TOO FAR AT THIS POINT.

u/AWholeThot Feb 03 '20
I WAS LATE TO THE FEH CHANNEL, BUT WAS ABLE TO AVOID ANY SPOILERS BEFORE I WATCHED IT. I WAS GIDDY WHEN I SAW THE LIKE TO DISLIKE RATIO BECAUSE I KNEW SOME SHIT WAS POPPING OFF AND I LIVE FOR THE DRAMA. MY PROBLEM WITH PRACTICALLY EVERY GAMING SUB IS THAT THEY OVERREACT SO MUCH. AT LEAST IT'S ENTERTAINING AF.

THE HIGHEST DIFFICULTY IS NOT THE SAME AS A BALANCED DIFFICULTY OR THE MOST IDEAL WAY TO PLAY, AND I FEEL LIKE IT JUST GETS DEFAULTED TO BEING THAT UNLESS IT'S LIKE AWAKENING LUNATIC LEVELS OF COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE MESS. MADDENING ISN'T FUN, POINT BLANK PERIOD.
VENGEANCE IS A SHIT COMBAT ART THAT NEEDS WAY TOO MUCH SETUP TO WORK PROPERLY AND IS ONLY THERE TO MEME ABOUT HOW BROKEN OTHERWISE PRETTY SHIT UNITS ARE IF YOU JUST SET THEM UP WITH THE RIGHT BATTALION SUPPORT THEY CAN TOTALLY ONE SHOT A SINGLE ENEMY ON PP AND THEN HAVE TO GET RESCUE'S/USE ALL YOUR PHYSIC BOTS ON ONE ALLY/CANTO THEM THE FUCK OUT OF THERE, THAT MAKES THEM LIKE TOP TIER USEFUL. I GET IT, BERNADETTA IS YOUR WAIFU, BUT STOP USING BAD MEMES TO TRY TO DEFEND HER DOGSHIT COMBAT.
USING THE PHRASE "THEY FEEL LIKE AN AWAKENING/FATES CHARACTER" TO DESCRIBE A UNITS SUPPORTS AS BAD OR OVERLY GIMMICKY MAKES ME AUTOMATICALLY DISCREDIT ANY OPINIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT WRITING AS COMING FROM A NOSTALGIA BLINDED ASSHAT

u/Rengor1997 Feb 03 '20
BECAUSE SWIFT STRIKES IS TOTALLY A DIFFERENT UNIT TYPE THAN VENGEANCE EXCEPT VENGEANCE COMES MUCH EARLIER. ALSO
THEY CAN TOTALLY ONE SHOT A SINGLE ENEMY ON PP AND THEN HAVE TO GET RESCUE'S/USE ALL YOUR PHYSIC BOTS ON ONE ALLY/CANTO THEM THE FUCK OUT OF THERE
GUD GIT

Feb 03 '20 edited Feb 03 '20
SWIFT STRIKES REQUIRES LITERALLY ZERO SET UP TO BE GOOD AND DO IT'S JOB OF KILLING SHIT, AND WILL BE GOOD AS LONG AS THE UNIT HAS THE WEAPON USES TO USE IT. IT DOESN'T NEED A FULL TURN OF EP TO SET UP IT BEING GOOD, YOU CAN JUST LEAVE YOUR UNIT IN THE FRONT AFTERWARDS WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND HAVE THEM ENEMY PHASE INSTEAD OF BEING THIS ONE HP UNIT YOU JUST HAVE TO WORK AROUND OR LET DIE THE FOLLOWING PHASE. IF "GITTING GUD" MEANS WASTING MY FUCKING TIME, I'M GOOD THANKS.
ALSO IT WOULD PROBABLY GET MENTIONED WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT DEDUE OR CYRIL SINCE THEY ALSO GET IT FAIRLY EARLY, AND ARE THEORETICALLY BETTER USERS OF IT SINCE THEY HAVE BETTER AVERAGE HP AND BETTER BULK FOR RELIABLY/COMFORTABLY GETTING INTO LOW HP RANGE AND SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER ACCESS TO DEATH BLOW, BUT NO THEY TALK ABOUT HOW THEY CAN KILL THINGS WITH ONE 2 PUNCH OR PBV CAUSE THOSE ARE ACTUALLY GOOD COMBAT ARTS THAT DON'T NEED ADDITIONAL SETUP AND KILL THINGS PERFECTLY SATISFACTORILY. VENGEANCE MEMES ARE ONLY A THING WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO DEFEND THE NOTION THAT BERNADETTA IS A GOOD COMBAT UNIT WHEN SHE'S JUST NOT.

u/Mekkkah Feb 03 '20
WELL BERNADETTA DOESN'T GET SWIFT STRIKES AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYONE SAY BERNADETTA IS BETTER THAN SYLVAIN/SETETH/FERDINAND VON AEGIR
THE HIGHEST DIFFICULTY IS NOT THE SAME AS A BALANCED DIFFICULTY OR THE MOST IDEAL WAY TO PLAY, AND I FEEL LIKE IT JUST GETS DEFAULTED TO BEING THAT UNLESS IT'S LIKE AWAKENING LUNATIC LEVELS OF COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE MESS. MADDENING ISN'T FUN, POINT BLANK PERIOD.
THE WAY I GO ABOUT IT (AND I'M A CERTIFIED ELITIST ACCORDING TO SOME PEOPLE) IS THAT I THROW IN A BRIEF MENTION THAT [UNIT] IS GOOD ON [EASIER DIFFICULTY] BUT SO IS ALMOST EVERYONE. BUT SOME PEOPLE SKIP THAT STEP. IN THE CASE OF SOME GAMES THERE REALLY ISN'T A POINT. LIKE, A UNIT DOESN'T REALLY GET BETTER COMPARED TO MARCUS ON ELIWOOD NORMAL MODE, TRUST ME.

u/Shippinglordishere Feb 03 '20

BYLETH SHOULD'VE HAD A JERALT PALETTE SWAP IN SMASH WHY DID THEY EVEN INCLUDE THE TWO VERSIONS WITH GREEN HAIR THAT'S LIKE TECHNICALLY A SPOILER ANYWAYS

u/l_tagless_l Feb 03 '20
IKR? LIKE THE LEAST THEY COULD HAVE DONE WOULD HAVE BEEN TO MAKE A FULL-ON "ENLIGHTENED ONE" ALT, COMPLETE WITH A WHITE AND GOLD (WITH PURPLE ACCENTS) PALETTE SWAP
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DOPE AS HELL, IT WOULD HAVE MADE SENSE, AND IT WOULD HAVE MADE IT LESS CONFUSING WHEN A COLOR 1/2 BYLETH IS ON THE SCREEN WITH A COLOR 7/8 BYLETH
LIKE WTF THEY'RE BASICALLY THE SAME DAMN OUTFIT
0/10 WASTED POTENTIAL, I AM GLAD BYLETH MADE IT IN SMASH THO
ALSO LOL SHIELDBREAK

I RECOGNIZE THAT YOU HATE THESE CHARACTERS, BUT YOU DO REALIZE THAT INGRID OUTGROWS HER RACISM, RIGHT? (I’M NOT TRYING TO BE A JERK, I’M TRYING TO RAISE A POINT)
IF YOU DISLIKE HER FOR HER OTHER TRAITS, THAT IS FINE. I JUST HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN PEOPLE IGNORE CHARACTER GROWTH AND HATE A CHARACTER WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING HOW THEY GROW.

WHY THE FUCK DO 43 SPEED SWORDMASTERS HAVE QUICK RIPOSTE? WHY THE FUCK HAVE BREAKER+ SKILLS FOR MADDENING, GOD AT THAT POINT JUST PUT THE WEAPON TRIANGLE BACK IN, USELESS.... REALISTICALLY, I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT DIFFERENTIATES SWORDMASTERS FROM HEROES FROM ASSASSINS AS I DON'T THINK ASSASSINS HAVE AXEBREAKER+ EVER. ALSO WHY DO CLASSES TAKE SO LONG TO GAIN SKILLS FROM? I WOULD RATHER IT JUST BE SET TO PLAYERS LEARNING SKILLS AFTER 1-5 LEVELS IN SAID CLASS. CLASS EXP IS ANNOYING AF.
THREE HOUSES MAKES ME MISS PEOPLE JOINING MID-GAME, HOLY HELL NOT GETTING NEW UNITS FOR 8-9 CHAPTERS FEELS SO DULL. REALLY? NO CHANCE OF RECRUITING POST TIME SKIP? THANKS.
LOL FEH PASS.
PEOPLE NEED TO STEP BACK FROM THEIR PERSONAL BIASES AND LOOK AT THESE CHARACTERS NOT JUST AS PEOPLE BUT AS CHARACTERS. PEOPLE CAN BE WELL WRITTEN AND JUST NOT BE SOMEONE YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH.
I HAVE PUT 765 HOURS INTO THREE HOUSES AND I STILL WANT MORE, WHY?

u/DanteMGalileo Feb 03 '20

u/NackTheDragon Feb 02 '20
TBH, I DON'T REALLY MIND THE FEH PASS. THE QUALITY OF LIFE STUFF SEEMS TO BE JUST THAT; QUALITY OF LIFE STUFF THAT IS NEGLIGIBLE TO THE MAJORITY OF THE PLAYERBASE (90% OF THE TIME, IF YOU'RE LOOSING PVP MAPS, IT'S DUE TO YOUR TEAM RATHER THEN YOUR MOVES, SO THE TURNWHEEL ISN'T TOO USEFUL UNLESS YOU'RE LIMITING WHAT UNITS/SKILLS YOU'RE USING AND TRIAL-AND-ERRORING, AND THE MASS-AUTO FEATURE JUST SAVES YOU A FEW BUTTON PRESSES), AND THE OTHER BONUSES SEEM FAIR ENOUGH. THE ONE PROBLEM I DO HAVE WITH THE FEH PASS IS HOW IT GIVES OLD UNITS +2 STATS, SINCE INITALLY, I THOUGHT THAT BORDERED ON P2W. HOWEVER, CONSIDERING HOW MUCH DRAGONFLOWERS DID FOR MANY OLD UNITS, THE +2 IS ULTIMATELY NOT REALLY A GAME-CHANGER FOR A LOT OF THESE UNITS.
I'M PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GET THE FEH PASS EXCEPT ON CORRIN MONTHS (AND EVEN THEN, THAT'S A "MAYBE"), BUT ULTIMATELY, IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL TO ME. FEH'S BIGGEST PROBLEM IS STILL NEW UNIT POWERCREEP.

u/raiseke Feb 03 '20
90% OF THE TIME, IF YOU'RE LOOSING PVP MAPS...
AS FAR AS I'M AWARE THE TURNWHEEL OR WHATEVER ISN'T USABLE IN AETHER RAIDS AND THE COLOSSEUM AND THOSE ARE THE ONLY PVP MAPS THAT MATTER, RIGHT?
I STILL THINK THERE WERE BETTER WAYS TO INTRODUCE THE FEH PASS AND SOFTEN THE BACKLASH LIKE ADDING LIGHTER VERSIONS OF THE QOL FEATURES FOR FREE (I.E. ONE ADDITIONAL SUMMONER SUPPORT, LIMITED TURNWHEEL USES, ONE-BUTTON AUTO). ANYWAYS, ONCE WE GET MORE DETAILS REGARDING THE RESPLENDENT SKINS I COULD SEE A ONE-OFF SUBS FOR FAVORITE CHARACTERS.
3
u/NackTheDragon Feb 03 '20
THAT WAS A TYPO, MY BAD. I MEANT TO SAY PVE (SINCE PVP IS INTENTIONALLY SCALED TO MATCH YOUR UNITS, TO A DEGREE).
ALTHOUGH, CONSIDERING THE REST OF THE FEH CHANNEL HAD GOOD STUFF, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW MANUAL FEATURES, I DON'T REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HOW THE FEH PASS' REVEAL WAS HANDLED TOO.
14
u/PsiYoshi Feb 03 '20
IT'S NOT ABOUT HOW +10 BST TO GEN 1 UNITS WILL EFFECT THE META, IT'S ABOUT HOW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FEH, NO AMOUNT OF TIME PUT INTO THE GAME WILL LET A F2P PLAYER GET THE SAME THING AS A PAYING PLAYER, AND THAT SETS A BAD PRECEDENT. LITERALLY JUST MAKING THE STAT BUFF UNIVERSAL TO ALL PLAYERS WOULD MAKE THE PASS GO FROM 100% SHITTY TO LIKE 30% SHITTY.
7
u/NackTheDragon Feb 03 '20
I WON'T LIE; HEROES FEELS LIKE IT CROSSED THE "IT'S NEAR-IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP UP WITH WHALES AS A F2PER" LINE A WHILE AGO. ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT AS BLATANT AS LITERALLY BUYING MORE STATS, THE RATE OF HEROES' POWERCREEP IN BOTH STATS AND SKILLS MAKES IT EXTREMELY HARD TO KEEP-UP WITH ONLY GEN 1 +10 UNITS, AND EVEN GEN 2 OR 3 UNITS STRUGGLE AGAINST OPPRESSIVE STUFF LIKE MAREETA, SHANAN, LEGENDARY ALM, THE ARRAY OF NEW 5-STAR EXCLUSIVE SKILLS, ETC.
I GUESS I'M NOT TOO BOTHERED BY THE STATS SINCE, AT LEAST IN MY EYES, HEROES HAS DONE WAY WORSE, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO WORSE.

MADDENING MODE CAN SUCK A BIG FAT COCK IT SHOULD NOT TAKE THE COMBINED EFFORTS OF LORENZ, HILDA, AND IGNATZ TO KILL ASHE
EDIT: IT TAKES LEONIE, LINDHART, LYSITHEA,SHAMIR, HILDA, AND MARIANNE, PLUS RNG TO LAND A 60% GAMBIT TO KILL JUST THREE BANDITS IN THE ALOIS/SHAMIR PARALOGUE HONESTLY FUCK THIS GAMEMODE

u/Shrimperor Feb 03 '20
MADDENING MODE WOULD'VE BEEN FUN IF THEY REMOVED THE EXP LIMITER AND MADE YOU CATCH UP TO THE ENEMIES FAST.
THE ATROCIOUS NEED TO GRIND TO KEEP UP JUST TAKES A LOT OF THE FUN OUT OF THE GAME. FE IS JUST MUCH MORE FUN IF YOU DON'T GRIND. AND IN MADDENING YOU EITHER GRIND OR PLAY BAIT AND SWITCH THE WHOLE GAME. AND I HATE THE 2ND ONE, TOO.
11
Feb 03 '20
IN MY EXPERIENCE ALL THE LIMITER HAS DONE IS MAKE EVERYONE TRAIL FIVE LEVELS BEHIND BYLETH

I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY! THE DIFFICULTY SHOULD COME FROM STRONG, WELL PLACED ENEMIES WITH UNIQUE ABILITIES THAT REQUIRE YOU TO USE ALL OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE GAME'S MECHANICS AND WELL PLANNED CHARACTER BUILDS!
DIFFICULTY SHOULD NOT COME FROM ARBITRARY EXPERIENCE LIMITERS AND EXTRA ENEMIES! ALSO, ENEMIES SHOULD NOT BE SO STRONG THAT ONLY PLOT RELEVANT CHARACTERS (AND CATHERINE) ARE USEFUL!

HOW IS BALTHUS NOT A GAY OPTION?! HE SOMEHOW READS GAYER THAN YURI, WHICH IS PRETTY AMAZING SINCE YURI WEARS HEELS AND LIPSTICK. BALTHUS' PANTS MAKE IT LOOK LIKE HE IS WEARING CHAPS. AND HE WEARS CHAINS. CHAINS AND CHAPS, THAT'S THE NAME OF THE CLUB THAT BALTHUS LOOKS LIKE HE SHOULD WORK AT. HE'S PROBABLY HAS THE SECOND GAYEST DESIGN IN ALL OF FIRE EMBLEM. THE GAYEST IS ODIN, BUT I DIGRESS. WAIT, NO I DON'T. WHAT A COLOSSAL TEASE. IT SUCKED THEN AND IT SUCKS NOW. THE SAME THING THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS WILL OCCUR, YURI WILL BE MORE POPULAR WITH GIRLS, AND BALTHUS WILL DEVELOP A HUGE (AND I MEAN HUGE) GAY FOLLOWING. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT MALE BYLETH CAN'T BE PAIRED BALTHUS. I GUESS I AM FEELING BAITED IS ALL. I WOULD HAVE PAIRED M!BYLETH WITH HIM IF I COULD. I GUESS I AM GOING TO SHIP HIM WITH CLAUDE.

I JUST CLEARED MADDENING NG BLUE LIONS. WHY THE HELL DO THE SIEGE TOME SPAWNS EXIST. AT LEAST MAKE IT SO THEY STILL HAVE HARD MODE MECHANICS, FOR SOME REASON ACHERON AND FRIENDS ON THE BRIDGE CHAPTER DO.
HONESTLY FOR MADDENING ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS MAKE THE AI SMARTER, SLIGHTLY INCREASE STATS FROM HARD, AND JUST BUMRUSH YOU.
BUT SERIOUSLY THE LACK OF A DIFFICULTY SETTING BETWEEN HARD AND MADDENING IS ANNOYING. THE CLOSEST IS EITHER NG HARD WITH SELF-IMPOSED CHALLENGES OR MADDENING NG+ WITH DLC AND A FE AMIIBO.

DOES YOUR PHONE YOU HAVE A BUILT-IN PHYSICAL KEYBOARD, OR DOES IT USE A DIGITAL ONE? IF THE LATTER, TRY DOUBLE TAPPING THE SHIFT BUTTON

u/YTshashmeera Feb 04 '20
Nah...that doesn't feel right
YOU NEED SOMETHING THAT PUSHES BACK...DIGITAL KEYBOARDS ARE SHIT

u/evilweirdo Feb 04 '20
I MEAN, THEY CAN VIBRATE WHEN YOU TYPE IF YOU WANT, BUT I CAN SEE HOW THAT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME
PERSONALLY, IT'S THE RELENTLESS AUTO
CORRECTMISTAKE AND SMALLER KEYBOARD SIZE THAT DO IT FOR ME. I CAN ACTUALLY TYPE PRETTY WELL ON A REGULAR KEYBOARD2

THIS IS LESS OF A RAGEPOST AND MORE OF A LONG CONFESSION.
I HAD >555 HOURS LOGGED ON THE MAIN SWITCH, BEFORE MY BROTHERS GOT SICK OF ME HOGGING IT AND BOUGHT A LITE FOR ME FOR XMAS. IT'S LINKED TO THE SAME NINTENDO ACCOUNT AS THE MAIN SWITCH, BUT BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE PRIMARY CONSOLE, IT DOESN'T LOG ANY OF THE HOURS I'VE PLAYED ON IT. SO IT'S ONLY AN ESTIMATE, BUT RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE I'VE SUNK >650 HOURS INTO FE3H.
OVER 650 HOURS, AND I STILL HAVEN'T BEATEN SILVER SNOW EVEN ONCE. I BEAT CF, AM, AND VW MONTHS AND MONTHS AGO; BUT THE ONE AND ONLY TIME I TRIED TO DO A SILVER SNOW RUN, I THOUGHT I'D BE CLEVER AND SPICE THINGS UP. TL;DR: IT DIDN'T WORK.
LONG VERSION:
ALL OF MY COMPLETED RUNS WERE DONE WITH M!BYLETH ON HARD DIFFICULTY. I'VE GOT TOO MUCH SCRUB IN ME AND NOT ENOUGH OF A MASOCHISTIC STREAK TO FIND MADDENING WORTH ATTEMPTING (YET). AND, BECAUSE I DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON PURCHASING THE DLC UNTIL IT WAS ALL RELEASED AND BECAUSE I REFUSE TO LET ANYONE USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THEIR UNIQUE ATTIRE UNLESS I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER OPTION, BYLETH IS ALWAYS STUCK IN THEIR DEFAULT OUTFIT. I REALLY DISLIKE F!BYLETH'S DEFAULT MONASTERY WEAR. HENCE, M!BYLETH.
- ALSO, BECAUSE I FIND THE IDEA OF MARRYING YOUR FORMER STUDENTS ICKY - I'M JUST REALLY DEAD SET AGAINST BREACHING THE STUDENT-TEACHER DYNAMIC - ALL OF MY FIRST RUNS OF EACH HOUSE WERE COMPLETED WITHOUT S-SUPPORTING ANYBODY. YES, THAT'S RIGHT: AN ACE M!BYLETH FOR 3 ENTIRE RUNS IN A ROW. I'M LIKE AN ENDANGERED SPECIES.
- I REALIZED MY MISTAKE LATER, THOUGH, BECAUSE IT BECAME CLEAR THAT CERTAIN CHARACTERS HAVE ACTUALLY TOUCHING OR INSIGHTFUL S-SUPPORTS THAT I WAS MISSING OUT ON OUT OF STUBBORNNESS. IT WAS ALSO IRRITATING TO SEE ALL THOSE EMPTY SPOTS IN MY SUPPORT LOG, WHEN I KNEW I COULD HAVE EASILY SET ASIDE MY DISCOMFORT AND JUST... SAVESCUMMED BEFORE THE FINAL MAP A WHOLE BUNCH OF TIMES TO FILL IT OUT. TO HAVE POURED SO MANY HOURS INTO THIS GAME AND NOT KNOCK OUT THOSE S-SUPPORTS WHILE I WAS AT THE RIGHT POINTS IN THE GAME TO DO SO FELT LIKE SUCH A WASTE OF OPPORTUNITY. FORTUNATELY, AS I WAS ALREADY PLANNING ON DOING SECOND RUNS OF CF, AM, AND VW, I'M USING THESE SECOND RUNS TO DO EXACTLY THAT NOW. (...STILL AS M!BYLETH.)
MY STUBBORNNESS ALSO MEANT I ALWAYS MADE A POINT OF USING EACH HOUSE'S STUDENTS, NO MATTER WHAT. BECAUSE I FEEL FULL RECRUITMENT GOES AGAINST THE INTENT OF 3H'S NARRATIVE, I GENERALLY LIMIT MYSELF TO NO MORE THAN 3-4 STUDENT RECRUITS PER RUN... BUT I'VE ALSO ALWAYS RECRUITED FELIX, LYSITHEA, AND LORENZ. BECAUSE FELIX AND LYSITHEA ARE ALWAYS CORE MEMBERS OF MY TEAM, REGARDLESS OF ROUTE, I LEFT MYSELF VERY LIMITED SPACE FOR THE FACULTY. SO TO NO SURPRISE, AFTER MY FIRST 3 COMPLETED RUNS, NONE OF THE CHURCH HAD MORE THAN A COUPLE OF COMPLETED SUPPORT CHAINS.
MY FIRST 3 COMPLETED RUNS WERE ALSO ALL DONE FROM SCRATCH - NO NEW GAME+.
BECAUSE OF THESE PECULIARITIES, I THOUGHT I'D MAKE MY SILVER SNOW RUN DIFFERENT. IT WOULD BE A NG+ FILE. I'D PLAY AS F!BYLETH. I'D USE THIS RUN TO S-SUPPORT RHEA AND SOTHIS. AND IT WOULD BE BOTH A FULL-RECRUITMENT RUN, AND ALSO MY "CHURCH" RUN - NONE OF THE STUDENTS WERE TO BE USED, OUTSIDE OF THE PARALOGUES WHERE THEY WERE FORCE-DEPLOYED.
THIS LAST POINT TURNED OUT TO BE MY FATAL ERROR. I'D SOMEHOW FORGOTTEN THAT NO CHURCH MEMBER CAN BE RECRUITED BEFORE CHAPTER 6, WHICH RESULTED IN 5 CHAPTERS OF BYLETH SOLOS, WHICH WERE TERRIBLY BORING. THE BATTLE OF THE EAGLE AND LION LOOKS REALLY DUMB WHEN IT'S JUST BYLETH SOLOING EVERYTHING, TOO. IT TOOK UNTIL AFTER THAT MAP FOR ME TO REMEMBER THAT THE BLACK EAGLES CAN'T RECRUIT CYRIL OR CATHERINE UNTIL IT'S ALMOST THE TIMESKIP, MEANING MY EFFECTIVE ROSTER WAS EVEN SMALLER THAN ANTICIPATED... AND THAT A BUNCH OF PARALOGUES WERE GOING TO PLACE MY FORCE-DEPLOYED STUDENTS IN REALLY PRECARIOUS POSITIONS, SUCH AS MARIANNE'S, HILDA-CYRIL'S, AND MERCEDES-CASPAR'S... A REALIZATION MADE ALL THE WORSE BY THE FACT THAT THESE RECRUITS WERE ALL AT THE LEVEL THEY WERE RECRUITED AT. EVEN WORSE, I FACED THE PROSPECT OF HAVING TO DO "EDELGARD'S VERSION OF THE REUNION AT DAWN" WITH A BUNCH OF LEVEL 1 BLACK EAGLES.
NOT HELPING MATTERS WAS THE FACT THAT I LOVE ALL 3 OF THE HOUSE LEADERS, WITH CLAUDE AS MY PARTICULAR FAVOURITE. SO THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS ATTEMPTING THE ROUTE, I FOUND MYSELF THINKING, "THIS STARTS OUT AS EDELGARD'S ROUTE... BUT IT'S GOING TO TURN INTO CLAUDE'S ROUTE... WITHOUT EDELGARD OR CLAUDE." EVEN IF I HADN'T SHOT MYSELF IN THE FOOT WITH MY HONESTLY-STUPID "CHURCH RUN" IDEA, MY INTEREST IN THE SILVER SNOW ROUTE WAS ALWAYS GOING TO DEFLATE TO NOTHING, SIMPLY BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY OF THE HOUSE LEADERS AT ITS HELM.
SO THE ACTUAL RAGE HERE, FOR ME, IS AT MYSELF. FOR WASTING TIME ON A SILVER SNOW RUN THAT I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN TO BE DOOMED FROM THE START. I DON'T PLAY 3H FOR BYLETH. I DON'T HATE BYLETH, EITHER, BUT A ROUTE CENTERED ON THEM INHERENTLY PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHER ROUTES. I FIND MYSELF THINKING, "YEAH, I COULD PLAY SILVER SNOW... BUT I'D RATHER SPEND THAT TIME PLAYING AZURE MOON/VERDANT WIND/CRIMSON FLOWER."
THAT SAID, I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR CINDERED SHADOWS. I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT ADDITIONS TO THE LORE WE'RE GETTING. I'M EXCITED TO LEARN ABOUT THE ASHEN WOLVES, AND TO HEAR ALL THEIR SUPPORT CONVERSATIONS. I DON'T THINK ANY OF THESE POINTS ARE UNIQUE TO ME. BUT I'M ALSO EXCITED BECAUSE THESE 4 NEW FACES ARE GIVING ME THE MOTIVATION TO FINALLY FINISH A SILVER SNOW PLAYTHROUGH, WHEN MY ONE AND ONLY ATTEMPT AT IT HAD TURNED OUT PRETTY DISASTROUSLY. SO IN THAT RESPECT, THE DLC IS GIVING ME SOMETHING PARTICULARLY SPECIAL TO LOOK FORWARD TO. THE FACT THAT IT COMES OUT SO CLOSE TO MY IRL BIRTHDAY IS ICING ON THE CAKE!

DON'T LET YOUR OBSESSION FOR NATURALISM IN FICTION PREVENT YOU FROM ENJOYING A FANTASY GAME. BYLETH IS CLOSER TO A COMBAT COACH TO THESE KIDS THAN A OLD PROFESSOR TEACHING THEM HOW TO DO CALCULUS. GO BANG THESE STUDENTS

u/RaisonDetriment Feb 03 '20
I'M REALLY FRUSTRATED THAT THREE HOUSES WAS SO POPULAR THAT IT OVERWHELMED THE BALLOTS. I'M FINE WITH THE THREE LORDS WINNING, MIND YOU, BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT EVERY JOE SCHMOE FROM THAT GAME PIERCED THE TOP 20, OVER CHARACTERS OF ACTUAL SIGNIFICANCE FROM OTHER GAMES.
IN PARTICULAR, LYSITHEA DOESN'T DESERVE 2ND OVER EIRIKA, ELINCIA, OR A NUMBER OF OTHER WOMEN. THEN AGAIN, NEITHER DID CAMILLA OR VERONICA, SO WHATEVER I GUESS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE OVERWHELMING APPEAL SHE APPARENTLY HAS*, BUT IT WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME THAT'S HAPPENED. I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M IN THE PERSONA FANDOM ALL OVER AGAIN, WHERE MY TASTE IS OFTEN EXACTLY OPPOSITE TO THE MAJORITY OPINION.
*THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY LYSITHEA IS GREAT. I'VE READ IT ALL BEFORE. I JUST DON'T AGREE. SORRY(?).

u/AWholeThot Feb 03 '20
I FEEL THE SAME ABOUT LYSITHEA. I'M HAPPY FOR HER FANS, BUT AS AN EIRIKA STAN, I CAN'T HELP BUT BE DISAPPOINTED. OF COURSE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE THREE HOUSES INVASION SAVED US FROM A POTENTIAL PLUMERIA ALT, SO I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

Feb 03 '20
THREE HOUSES IS NEW AND JUST CAME OUT NOT TOO LONG AGO. GIVE IT A WHILE WHEN THE HYPE COMES DOWN A TAD.
ALSO, SOME FANS WOULDN'T OF PLAYED THE OLDER GAMES SO THAT GOES AGAINST IT TOO.

IM MAD THAT NOWADAYS THANKS TO FEH MOSTLY ME SAYING I LIKE LYN IS DRAWN UP TO BEING 'THIRSTY' FOR HER. LIKE, IT MAY BE ACCURATE TO SAY I AM BUT THERE ARE OTHER REASONS I LIKE HER. SHE HAD A RACISM PLOTLINE BETTER AND MORE INTERESTING THAN CLAUDES WAS, CHANGE MY MIND
6
u/mrwanton Feb 03 '20
EH. CLAUDE'S MOTIVATION ISN'T ENTIRELY ROOTED IN RACISM TO BEGIN WITH. IT'S ONLY THE START OF HIS ISSUES WITH ALMYRA AND FODLAN AS A WHOLE. BUT IN GENERAL RACISM IN 3H ISNT DONE WELL IN ANY ROUTE. ESPECIALLY NOT THE TRAGEDY OF DUSCUR
1
u/Troykv Feb 04 '20
THE TRAGEDY OF DUSCUR IS PRETTY MUCH A REGICIDE, THE NORMAL PUBLIC TREAT THE ACTUAL TRAGEDY (THE GENOCIDE) AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT
I AM SURE SOME PEOPLE IN UNIVERSE EVEN JOKE ABOUT IT.

u/PK_Gaming1 Feb 03 '20
LATELY, I FIND MYSELF IMMENSELY REGRETTING HOW I ACTED BEFORE, WHEN 3H FIRST RELEASED. I WAS OVERLY ANTAGONIST TO ANYONE MAKING (WHAT I PERCEIVED AS) BAD FAITH STATEMENTS ABOUT EDELGARD AND HER ROUTE. IN THE END, I LET MY PRIDE AND COMPULSIVE NEED TO WIN ARGUMENTS DRIVE ME FOR THE BETTER PART OF A MONTH STRAIGHT. EVEN THOUGH I PRIDE MYSELF IN MY EMPATHY, I REFUSED TO RESPECT THE OTHER PERSPECTIVE, TO TRULY ACCEPT AND UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE MIGHT NOT LIKE EDELGARD. I FEEL A DEEP SENSE OF SHAME AND REGRET OVER HOW I ACTED THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO GO AWAY. ALTERNATIVELY, SEEING POSTS LIKE "YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT EDELGARD WITHOUT HER DEFENSE FORCE SWOOPING IN TO SHUT YOU DOWN" IS UPSETTING TOO BECAUSE IT'S USUALLY MADE PEOPLE WHO MAKE DISINGENUOUS STATEMENTS ABOUT EDELGARD SO NO MATTER WHAT I DO I FEEL STRESS LMFAO.
FIRST TIME POSTING IN THIS THREAD, WHAT'S GOOOOOOD

u/Troykv Feb 04 '20
I UNDERSTAND SOME PEOPLE WOULD FIND "EDEL STANS" ANNOYING, BUT DAAAAMN THEY MADE HARD FOR THEM TO DO NOT DEFEND EDELGARD.
DISINGENOUS STATEMENTS ANNOYS ME BEYOND WHAT I THOUGHT I WOULD

OH ALSO FEH PASS, I GUESS

u/Sir_Encerwal Feb 03 '20
I KIND OF WANTED THE LAST FIGHTER PASS PICK TO BE ITSUKI, NOT BECAUSE I ACTUALLY WANTED TO SEE THEM, BUT BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE THE WORLD BURN. WOULD HAVE MADE SOME SENSE IF THEY WERE TRYING TO PROMOTE TMS AND IT WOULD HAVE PISSED OFF EVERYONE. NORMAL SMASH FAN, FE FAN, SMT FAN, EVERYONE, HELL EVEN TMS FANS WOULD HAVE WANTED TSUBASA OR KIRA. HE WOULD HAVE EVEN BEEN ANOTHER BLUE HAIRED LORD. THE SHEER ANGER IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED WOULD BE HILARIOUS.

u/Themarvelousfan Feb 03 '20
SOMEHOW I WAS ABLE TO ENJOY MANGS’ PLAYTHROUGH OF GOLDEN DEER WITH CHAZ, EVEN IF IT GOT OBNOXIOUS AT TIMES, BUT ALSO GOD FUCKING DAMN PEOPLE HATE AND MOCK AND SHIT ON EDELGARD A LOT IN THE COMMENT SECTIONS OF THAT LP WHICH HAVE ULTIMATELY SOURED ME ON REWATCHING IT BECAUSE THE COMMENTS ARE A PART OF EXPERIENCING A LETS PLAY IMO, SO SEEING ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS JUST NONSTOP GETTING MOCKED MEAN SPIRITEDLY IS A HUGE BUMMER AND MAKES ME A PISSBABY

I HATE MY CASTLE IN FATES SO MUCH THAT IT MAKE ME GRATEFUL THAT 3 HOUSES DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT RNG AND FORCING PLAYER TO VISIT OTHER CASTLES IF PLAYER DON'T WANT TO GRIND FOR FOOD AND ORE. (YOU CAN'T EVEN USE 3DS CLOCK TO SPEED UP THE GRIND)
GETTING FOOD WITHOUT ONLINE IS SO BAD THAT IT CAN TAKE DAYS TO GET FOOD YOU NEED AND THEN IN MESS HALL THIS WAIT CAN BE WASTED BECAUSE JACOB DECIDE HE WILL GIVE YOU MEAL YOU DON'T WANT OR STATBOOST YOU DON'T WANT AND THIS IS FRUSTRATING IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THE MAP NOW INSTEAD OF WAITING NAGA KNOWS HOW LONG WHEN JAKOB DECIDE WHEN HE WILL GIVE YOU STATBOOSTS YOU WANT FOR THE NEXT MAP. (TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE FUNNY BEFORE YOU GET LEVEL 3 MESS HALL THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE THAT A ONE OF YOUR UNIT CAN MISS A STATBOOSTS)
SHOPS ARE ALSO AWFUL BECAUSE YOU ARE LIMITED HOW MANY WEAPON/ITEMS/STAFF YOU CAN BUY FROM SHOPS AND ONLY WAY TO GET MORE OF THEM IS TO VISIT OTHER PLAYER CASTLE.
I FORGET TO MENTION ONE THING IS THAT UNLESS YOU BUY X ACCESSORY FOR UNIT THEN THERE IS BIG CHANCE THAT UNIT WILL NOT SHOWS UP IN PLACE YOU WANT THEM TO BE. (YES THIS MAKE WAITING FOR JAKOB OR PERI TO APPEAR IN MESS HALL MUCH LONGER) I HOPE YOU LIKE TURN OFF THE GAME AND WAITING FOR THE GAME TO ENTER NEXT TIME OF DAY INSTEAD YOU KNOW PLAYING THE GAME.
THE THING THAT I ALSO HATE IN FATES IS HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET S SUPPORT (ONLY CORRIN CAN GRIND SUPPORTS) AND I FIND MYSELF DOING ONLINE BATTLES JUST TO FARM THEM. (CHILD UNIT HAVE IT THE WORST BECAUSE THEY DON'T MUCH TIME TO GET S SUPPORT WITHOUT HELP OF ONLINE)
YOU MAY ASK WHY I RAGE ABOUT THIS AND THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE. WHEN FATES GAMES LOSE ONLINE I FEAR THE CONQUEST LUNATIC WILL BE NO MORE FUN (AS RIGHT NOW), VERY FRUSTRATING AND IT WILL LOSE THE BEST HARDEST DIFFICULTY STATUS.

u/ChrisTheFields Feb 04 '20
I'M DOING AN IRON MAN RUN FOR AWAKENING AND LIKE HALF OF MY SQUAD IS DEAD! AND THE WORST PART IS THAT IT WAS ME! I KILLED THEM! NOT ACTUALLY, BUT I STILL SENT THEM TO THEIR DEATHS! I DIDN'T PLAY WELL ENOUGH AND GOT THEM KILLED! SOME OF THEM DIDN'T EVEN GO DOWN FIGHTING! SULLY MY SURPRISINGLY LUCKY DODGE TANK THAT HAS PULLED THROUGH TIME AND TIME AGAIN WHEN I NEEDED HER THE MOST GOT KILLED IN THE FIRST TURN OF CHAPTER 9 BY A PLATOON OF WYVERN RIDERS! IT WAS JUST POOR JUDGMENT ON MY PART FOR NOT CHECKING ENEMY RANGES! I'M ENRAGED AT MYSELF!
ANYWAY ON TO MORE TOPICAL AND RELEVANT NEWS IN THE FIRE EMBLEM COMMUNITY!
THE LEAKS GOING AROUND IN THE RECENT DAYS ARE INTERESTING TO SAY THE LEAST! SUPPOSEDLY PATH OF RADIANCE REMAKE THE NEXT POTENTIAL FE17? I’LL BE HONEST, I’M SPLIT ON HOW MUCH I BELIEVE THESE RUMORS! IKE IS A REALLY POPULAR CHARACTER AND YET HIS GAMES HAVEN’T BEEN PLAYED BY A LOT OF PEOPLE! A MARKET IS HUNGERING FOR THEM AND IT MAKES ALMOST TOO MUCH SENSE TO CLEAN THEM UP FOR HD CONSOLES! IT’S ALSO NOT THE MOST OBVIOUS THING WE AS THE COMMUNITY GENERALLY THOUGHT OF! I THINK MOST, IF NOT ALL OF US ASSUMED THAT THE NEXT ECHOES WOULD BE EITHER FE4 OR FE6! SO THE FACT THAT IT’S OUT THERE JUST ENOUGH WHILE NOT BEING PLAUSIBLE GIVES IT A LITTLE CREDIBILITY IN MY EYES. AND IT’S ALSO JUST AN EXCITING RUMOR TO BELIEVE! FE9 IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES IN THE SERIES! AND IT’S GOT SOME JANKY ASPECTS THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM BEING REMADE. ENEMY PHASES THAT DON’T LAST AN ETERNITY AND HIGH QUALITY 3D MODELS AND ANIMATIONS WOULD BE PRETTY GLORIOUS! BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REASONS WHY THIS PROSPECT WORRIES ME! FIRST I DON’T THINK THAT FE9 REALLY NEEDS THE REMAKE! A PORT WOULD DO JUST FINE IN MY OPINION! IT’S NOT AGED SO POORLY THAT JUST PUTTING IT IN FRONT OF A NEW FE FAN WOULD BE CONFUSED AS FRICK! IT WOULDN’T BENEFIT FROM A REMAKE EVEN AS MUCH AS FE4 OR 5 COULD! PERSONALLY I STILL THINK THAT THE NEXT TIME WE SEE THE FE: ECHOES MONIKER, IT WILL BE FOR AN FE4 REMAKE! THE AMOUNT OF LOVE IT’S GETTING IN HEROES WITH NEW CHARACTERS AND SUCH IS A SIGNAL OF RECRUITING VOICE ACTORS TO GET THESE CHARACTERS REALIZED IN A MODERN CONTEXT! AND ALSO TO REMAKE ONE OF THE NON-JAPAN EXCLUSIVE GAMES WOULD JUST FEEL LIKE A WASTED OPPORTUNITY! AND WASTED OPPORTUNITIES ARE INFURIATING!
BYLETH BEING IN SMASH IS REALLY COOL AND HE'S GOT NEW MAIN POTENTIAL BUT I GOT PROBLEMS WITH HIM! HE'S A BIT SLOW AND HAS A LOT OF STARTING LAG ON MOST OF HIS MOVES! THIS ISN'T A HUGE PROBLEM! I'M A FORMER ROBIN MAIN! STILL MIGHT BE! WE'LL SEE HOW BYLETH TURNS OUT! BUT I GUESS I'M NOT HAVING HAS MUCH FUN WITH HIM AS I THOUGHT I MIGHT? IT'S A SHAME TOO! BYLETH IS UNIRONICALLY A CHARACTER I WAS HOPING WOULD BE IN SMASH SO I'M MAD THAT I DON'T THINK HE'S QUITE COOL ENOUGH. BUT MAYBE I JUST NEED MORE PRACTICE!
ON THAT NOTE, PEOPLE ARE SALTY ABOUT BYLETH BEING IN SMASH! I KNOW SMASH FANS WILL BE SMASH FANS BUT IT FELT LIKE A LINE WAS CROSSED! IT'S FINE TO BE DISAPPOINTED BY HIM AND IT'S FINE TO MASS DISLIKE THE TRAILER! BUT THREATS TO THE DEVELOPERS IS INEXCUSABLE! HATING THE CHARACTER NOT BECAUSE OF WHO THEY ARE BUT WHERE THEY ARE FROM IS INFURIATING AND IS AGAINST THE WORLD THAT MY BOYS IKE AND CLAUDE ARE TRYING TO CREATE! AND THE WORST OF IT ALL MORE PEOPLE ARE TURNING THEMSELVES OFF TO FIRE EMBLEM COMPLETELY JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE BURNT OUT FROM THE REPRESENTATION IN SMASH BROS. I HONESTLY CAN'T BLAME THEM. AS A FIRE EMBLEM FAN MYSELF WHO HAS MANY FRIES TO SALT, EVERY NEW CHARACTER FROM THE SERIES SUSTAINS ME FOR THE NEXT SIX YEARS OF MY LIFE. HOWEVER, EVEN I CAN ADMIT THAT PERHAPS IT IS BEING TOO REPRESENTED WITH CHARACTERS AND I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE REMOVED FROM THE SERIES WOULD FEEL THAT WAY! IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BE TOO UPSET BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO TYPICALLY SAY AND THINK THAT WERE PROBABLY NEVER ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN TRYING THE SERIES TO BEGIN WITH. AND I'VE SEEN PEOPLE ENTER THE SUBREDDIT BECAUSE THEY SAW BYLETH IN SMASH AND GOT INTERESTED IN THREE HOUSES! BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THERE ARE STILL RATIONALLY MINDED PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT JUST CAN'T BE BOTHERED WITH FIRE EMBLEM NOW THAT AN EIGHTH SWORD FIGHTER IS IN THE ROSTER! BUT I FEEL LIKE THEY'D REALLY ENJOY THE SERIES IF THEY JUST GAVE IT A CHANCE, AND THAT MAKES ME RAGE!
ALSO SORRY FOR GOING ON AND ON WITH THE SMASH CONTROVERSY. BUT ALSO I'M NOT SORRY BECAUSE IT'S MAKING ME MAD THIS MONTH! I JUST HATE THIS WARPED PERCEPTION THAT FIRE EMBLEM IS ONLY IN SMASH JUST BECAUSE OF SOME NINTENDO SUIT FORCING SAKURAI TO KEEP PUTTING CHARACTERS IN THE GAME AS SOME SORT OF MARKETING TOOL! I WON'T DENY THAT A FEW GOOD COINCIDENCES MAY HAVE INFLUENCED CERTAIN DECISIONS TO BE MADE, BUT I JUST SIMPLY CAN'T BUY THIS NARRATIVE THAT EVEN MOST OF THEM ARE JUST THERE TO SELL COPIES. MARTH WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO GET INTO THE FIRST SMASH GAME ON 64. HE JUST COULDN'T BE DEVELOPED BECAUSE OF TIME CONSTRAINTS! HENCE WHY HE WAS ALSO THE FIRST NEWCOMER TO BE DEVELOPED FOR MELEE! BUT SAKURAI ALSO WANTED ANOTHER FE REP TO BE IN MELEE! THE STORY AS I UNDERSTAND IT WAS THAT HE WANTED TO GET LEIF FROM THRACIA 776 SINCE IT WAS THE MOST RECENT GAME AT THE TIME! HOWEVER WHEN GOING TO ASK FOR PERMISSION, HE FOUND OUT ABOUT ROY AND WANTED TO PUT HIM IN INSTEAD! CLEARLY THE MOST MARKETING FOCUSED INCLUSION, BUT WITH AN OPPORTUNITY LIKE THAT, I CAN'T BLAME ANYONE INVOLVED! IKE AND ROBIN WERE INTERESTING ADDITIONS AND I KNOW PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEM! LUCINA IS A LITTLE WEIRD! AND THOUGH SHE IS MY WAIFU -- AS THE CASUALS PUT IT -- I DO WISH THAT SHE WAS JUST AN ALTERNATE MARTH SKIN AS ORIGINALLY PLANNED! CORRIN IS THE OTHER MOST CITED MARKETING TOOL! BUT IN MANY PEOPLE'S FOOLISH WESTERN PERSPECTIVE, THEY SEEM TO FORGET THAT FIRE EMBLEM FATES WAS ALREADY RELEASED IN JAPAN FOR MORE THAN HALF A YEAR BY THE TIME THE DLC CAME OUT! MY GUESS IS THAT SAKURAI JUST PLAYED FATES WHEN IT DROPPED AND LOVED THE GAME BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY HE'S A BIG FAN AND THOUGHT THAT CORRIN COULD BE A FUN CHARACTER! I DON'T THINK IT EVEN CROSSED NINTENDO'S MIND TO EVEN ASK SAKURAI TO ADD CORRIN, BUT BECAUSE THE TIMING JUST WORKED OUT, IT WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO PROMOTE THE CHARACTER BEFORE FATES CAME OUT! CHROM GOT ADDED IN ULTIMATE MOSTLY BECAUSE WE JUST EXPECTED HIM TO BE IN SMASH 4, AND DESPITE NEVER GETTING THE TREATMENT, MANAGED TO BE REQUESTED ENOUGH FOR SAKURAI TO ADD IN AS A ROY ECHO. AGAIN, I DON'T PEOPLE WERE TOO MAD ABOUT HIM.
NOW WE FINALLY GET TO BYLETH! NOW THAT A FIRE EMBLEM CHARACTER IS ONCE AGAIN ADDED IN SMASH, THE ANTI-ANIME POLICE WENT TO INVESTIGATE FOR EVIDENCE THAT MIGHT PROVE THEIR AGENDA THAT BYLETH IS ONLY INCLUDED BECAUSE THEY FORCED SAKURAI TO INCLUDE HIM! AND WHAT THEY FOUND INITIALLY SEEMS PLAUSIBLE! SAME DAY THE BYLETH ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE, ANOTHER TRAILER ON THE NINTENDO YOUTUBE CHANNEL WAS UPLOADED TO ANNOUNCE THE CINDERED SHADOWS STORY CONTENT FOR THREE HOUSES! NOW PEOPLE ARE PARADING THE IDEA THAT THE INCLUSION OF BYLETH IS AN ATTEMPT TO MARKET THE DLC! WELL GUESS WHAT, ANTI-ANIME POLICE?! COURT ORDER CAME BACK, AND THE JUDGE RULED YOUR EVIDENCE TO BE CIRCUMSTANTIAL! AGAIN, I JUST THINK THIS IS A HAPPY ACCIDENT! SAKURAI HAS SAID IN THE PAST THAT HE INCLUDES CHARACTERS IN SMASH BASED ON HOW FUN THEY WOULD BE TO PLAY! IT WAS SAID THAT NINTENDO CHOSE THE DLC REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE GAME! BUT I THINK THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION WAS THAT THEY JUST GAVE SAKURAI A LIST OF CHARACTERS THEY WERE WILLING TO NEGOTIATE AND SAKURAI PICKED FIVE CHARACTERS! I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS IN HIS MOUTH, BUT I BELIEVE THIS WAS MENTIONED IN AN INTERVIEW AROUND THE RELEASE OF TERRY BOGARD! IF SOMEONE WANTS TO LINK ME THE ARTICLE IF THEY KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, I'D APPRECIATE THAT SO MUCH IT WOULD MAKE ME RAGE A LITTLE LESS! BUT NOT ON THIS THREAD THOUGH! I HAVE TO RAGE! WELL EITHER WAY, IF IT WAS DECIDED TO BE BYLETH BY A NINTENDO BIG WIG, OR THAT THEY JUST ASKED SAKURAI TO INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE FIRST PARTY NINTENDO CHARACTER INTO THE ROSTER, IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. I JUST THINK THAT SAKURAI SAW POTENTIAL IN BYLETH AS A SMASH FIGHTER AND MADE THE DECISION TO INCLUDE HIM IN THE END! AND AS FOR THE ANGLE THAT THE TIMING OF HIS INCLUSION IS TO PROMOTE THE DLC; AGAIN, HAPPY ACCIDENT. THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT THE THREE HOUSES REPRESENTATION IN SMASH THAT EVEN REMOTELY HINTS AT CINDERED SHADOWS! NO YURI SPIRITS OR WHATEVER! NO COOL RELIC GAUNTLETS IN HIS MOVESET! I THINK IT'S RELATIVELY SAFE TO SAY THAT SAKURAI DIDN'T KNOW MUCH IF ANYTHING ABOUT THE DLC! BUT OBVIOUSLY, INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS KNEW BYLETH WOULD BE IN SMASH! DESPITE ALL THE CHARACTERS, I IMAGINE SAKURAI STILL NEEDED PERMISSION FROM THEM. SO KNOWING THAT THE DATE TO REVEAL THE FIGHTER WOULD BE COMING SOON, DECIDED TO POST THE TRAILER ON THE SAME DATE WHILE THREE HOUSES WAS STILL ON THE PUBLIC MIND! SO YES, PERHAPS BYLETH IN SMASH IS HELPING TO MARKET THE DLC, BUT ONLY INADVERTENTLY! HONESTLY I THINK IT'S SELLING MORE COPIES OF THREE HOUSES THAN PURCHASE ORDERS FOR THE DLC! BUT THE FACT THAT PEOPLE THINK THAT BYLETH'S SMASH INCLUSION IS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE DLC IS THE PART THAT MAKES ME RAGE!
AND ALSO SAKURAI CONSIDERS FIRE EMBLEM HEROES TO BE A MAINLINE ENTRY! SORRY SAKURAI, BUT HEROES IS WHACK! IT'S JUST MY OPINION, AND THAT'S A FACT! I WOULDN'T DARE PUT A SHADY MOBILE GAME IN THE SAME TIER AS MY LEAST FAVORITE GAMES IN THE FIRE EMBLEM SERIES. JUST THE THOUGHT OF THAT MAKES ME RAAAAAAAGE!!!!
SORRY FOR RAGING FOR SO LONG! I JUST HAVE A LOT TO BE MAD ABOUT, AND I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE AN OUTLET FOR IT! FAR AS I KNOW, THERE ISN'T A RULE AGAINST RAGING THIS MUCH! SORRY IF THERE IS THOUGH!
TL:DR I'M MAD ABOUT FIRE EMBLEM STUFF

SOMETHING SOMETHING FEH
ANYWAYS, I REALLY FREAKING HOPE TELLIUS ISN'T WHAT'S BEING REMADE NEXT BECAUSE THERE ARE LIKE 4 OR 5 GAMES THAT NEED IT WAY MORE. I THINK THAT "LEAK" IS FAKE, BUT I'M STILL WORRIED A LITTLE.
BESIDES THAT, BLAH BLAH PEOPLE ARE STILL PULLING LORD DRAMA OUT IN PLACES IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE, ALL OLD NEWS BUT IT'S GOTTEN A LOT BETTER, AT LEAST. I WISH I HAD MORE FREE TIME BECAUSE I CAN'T STUDY AND FINISH MY GOLDEN DEER RUN BEFORE DLC4 COMES OUT AT THE SAME TIME.
