[night-of-eternity]

[night-of-eternity]

I believe the art speaks for itself.

Why Do YOU Love Fire Emblem?

It's hard for me to articulate, but I guess... the series just has a certain charm that I find appealing? Sort of like the Grandia series.

Or maybe it's because of the lots and lots of dragons, relative to other series. I am a pretty huge fan of dragons.

Maybe my love of the series is completely arbitrary.

Favorite OST/Song/Remix?

Awakening's OST would probably be my overall favorite. I can find fault or nitpick just about any other part of the game, but not the OST

And finally, an old favorite:

What should the next FE be like, if you designed it?

I'd keep the MU system, but nerf the MU's class selection. MU might be the actual Lord of the game, too, so his or her basic class would be Lord, with the direct promotion being (whatever) Lord. Reclass options and stats (starting, maximum, and growth rates) would be determined by questions about, say... the profession of said MUs parents, what sort of education he's had until then, and so on. I suppose I'd still allow for the MU to hypothetically obtain a class-set as broad as Robin's, but it would definitely be a power vs versatility sort of deal. Basically, a super-generalist FE14 MU that could reclass into anything or almost anything would have mediocre starting stats, mediocre growths, and mediocre caps compared to a more focused MU.

Kids... dunno. A split-generation game might be interesting, ala FE4. Or maybe not. Definitely no time travel.

Regardless of whether kids are still in, keep the S-supports, but limit each character to a smaller set of potential suitors. Except maybe--and this is a big maybe--the MU.

Pair-up stays, but gets modified. Pair-up partners would no longer directly boost the lead's primary statistics; to compensate, the boost to hit/avd/crit/crit avd would be increased. Basically, characters don't magically get stronger when partnered up, but they do fight better.

Galeforks either gets moved to a gender neutral class (thinking... horse archer, perhaps?) or axed completely.

Addition of a new skill 'Snap Shot' for snipers that will give a certain chance (based upon skill, most likely) to retaliate against range-1 attacks.

Inclusion of a male manakete.

Wait, no! A MANakete. Yeeeeesss...

Inclusion of an adult female manakete that is actually story-relevant.

Allow for some minor amount of grinding during the story if a player's determined (something similar to the Risen encounters from Awakening), but generally limit grinding & DLC to the last few missions & postgame.

More varied chapter goals.

Muscle Wizards

Gonna cut it off there, even though I can think of quite a number more.

[night-of-eternity]

Muscle Wizards need to be a thing in the next Fire Emblem. Hop to it, IS.

BAAAAANEBLAAAAAADE

It's almost 7 AM and I haven't had the nine point five gallons of coffee I require to be sane function, so here's some fluffy kittens BAAAAANEBLAAADES strikethrough abuse an amusing Warhammer 40k video I happened upon.

Credit for the video goes to Bruva Alfabusa.

Scene/Moment that made you go ‘RAEGQUIT’

Pretty typical, but I've ragequit after the RNG decided it would be funny to have that 1% chance to crit... ya know, happen. When that happens at like 3 AM in the morning, I usually just NOPE out of that session and go to sleep.

Day 26 - Scene/Moment that made you go ‘awww’?

I DO NOT GO 'awww'. EVER

UNLESS I'M SAYING "AWWW YEAAAH."

Or have caught sight of a cute animal, such as a ferret or a fox.

Favorite Archetype?

It'd either have to be the Jagen archetype--specifically the Oifey sub-type--or the Camus archetype.

Finished Fire Emblem Awakening yesterday.

This is what I thought during the entire gameplay with Japanese voice.

Something Epic

FE:A, Lunatic, Chapter 2. After numerous failed attempts, the RNG god(dess) finally took pity on me and granted Fred and Avatar a downright miraculous string of rolls that more or less resulted in them completely steamrolling almost all the enemies on the lower half of the map during the enemy phase.

Meanwhile, the babby squad (everyone besides Fred and the Avatar) fought a pitched, desperate battle against the one or two enemies that didn't go after Fred & Avatar, emerging heavily injured, but with no casualties. Chrom & Lissa both gained levels.

Not a very epic description, but I'm tired and sick right now, so screw fluff and details.

Something Silly?

Beating Lunatic Classic and making this account specifically for c2ii's new years lunatic challenge, then being so freaking lazy that I couldn't even be arsed to post my tactician.

...

Okay, some waifu indecisiveness was involved there, too. I wanted Tiki, but since the game had turned into "Chrom and Avatar's happy fun-time murder hour" (read: I duo'd pretty much the entire game after a certain point), the rest of my team was... not exactly competent, meaning that paralogue 17 would've required quite a bit of grinding.

Laziness and indecisiveness are my mortal enemies in life.

Which Country would You Live In?

I would say "whatever country is peaceful", but this is Fire Emblem, meaning that there approximately 3 bandits for every peasant, at least two wars going on at any given time, and usually a dragon, demon, sorcerer, or deity causing mayhem or preparing to cause mayhem.

So... Regna Ferox, I guess. At least then I'll probably know how to fight, and I could always aim to be...

Yes, thank you, Shatner.

Prettiest Cutscene?

I dunno, one of Awakenings CG cutscenes, I guess. Choose one, they're all pretty.
