Put on some god damn pants Fjorm, for fucks sake it gets cold during the winter.

in other news, I have been entirely unsurprisied by book II of fe heroes story so far. I appreciate the directness, and its not to poorley presented so far (barring dumb design choices but hush), but its certainly just as lifeless and predictable as i thought it would be. saritire... thats his name right? anyways, evil garondork is just as much of a generic evil dick so far as i thought he would be. His daughter has no personality or reason for me to care about her existence so far, in fact for a second i fooled myself into thinking she was like his royal guard captain or something considering her dialogue until i read her description and sighed in disappointment, but hey thats what future chapters are for but way to fail to build intrigue, still good on you guys for not just making her severa 2.0, and Loki... well Loki is a playful sexy seductress which is the type... c of sexy seductresses i guess (type a is usually conceited i guess, type b is masosadist i guess... idk this is arbitrary) so shes just there to probably turn out to either be manipulating things, actually be serving someone else which is my hope personally, or be completely inconsequential which is my bet on what happens. 

Other then that im glad theirs a greater sense of agency going on, and some actual fucking direction now (figuring out how to beat the generic evil flame king and his empire of evil) but on the other hand Im not feeling the stakes ya know. Veronica and embla in general probably dont need his help, and things havent really gotten more serious since its basically the same “askr and all the words will be in peril if the villain is not stopped” as before only now with more fire. Its the same crossworld war, and frankly veronica is a much more interesting villain then any of these other fucks, possessing insecurities and sympathetic elements, but also showcasing ruthlessness and presenting a clear threat to the player. Instead, shes been increasingly shoved into the sidekick villain role to make way for bruno and his fucking garbage nonsense so he can wangst it up with alfonse because hot, and now shes also been shoved to the side by a generic dickbag asshole. I can only hope that changes with more story content, but so far i haven't been wrong with my assumptions and frankly i have seen no reason to suggest that their planning on something different.

And of course, this brings way back to Fjorm, who i honestly dont have much to write about but thats only because she hasn't given me much at all to even fume over. I hate her design, not only because i dont like the design work itself but also because its basically just sharena 2.0 and also because its a fucking stupid outfit for someone from a stock generic ice kingdom thats presumably in winter yearlong or at least cold enough to make sure their ice castle doesn't start melting during the summer. Sure, maybe one could fanon it as a magic connection or whatever prevents her from being cold for some inane reason, but that certainly not the actual reason for the design itself and even if you had cold immunity you would still probably want pants of some kind when you have to traverse through a bunch of snow year long and can we pleaaase just stop with the garter belts! other then that, personality wise i find her as enticing as samon paste, her motivation well easily understandable is generic as hell and the only thing i can hope for from her is that we actually get to know more about her country down the line when she gets the spotlight, because right now i give less of a shit personally about her then i do sternlin. Shes not even that great gameplay wise, since outside of her ton of skills and her unique special (which i would want to switch out with something useful anyways like say iceberg because damage reducing specials in feh are near worthless) shes got little going for her with a mediocre stat spread, only two actually worthwhile skills (her weapon with a built in distant counter and atk/def bond though that ones debatable) and the legendary boost is probably gonna be pretty worthless as well outside of maybe building sp faster.

speaking of gameplay wise, im liking the upgrade system, and weapon refinary looks alright so far, cover all the weapons soon you fucks, but some of the refining stuff... worries me i guess? like, i can see how a built in fury for eldgian, freeing up his A slot, might seem like a good idea but he already has fury as a basekit skill and fury isnt that enticing of a skill for most people to begin with, baring very certain builds. wouldnt it have been better to say, give him a magic damage reducing skill or a built in distant defense to upgrade mystletainn with, considering that was similar to one of its effects in genealogy (+20 to skill, +10 to res, and the critical skill) and to better play into his tank like build? I know id probably upgrade the damn thing with the res stat boost anyways, especially since it gives him more additional hp then going with the built in fury. I suppose you could run a double fury eldgian if your... insane, but again im curious as to why the built in fury. atleast its a built in fury 3, and hey i like how refining a normal weapon just gives you dew equal to the sacred crystals or whatever spent to make normal weapon, and i like how its all not too expensive, and another note fuck yes psychic is decent now but now im probably gonna have to look for a rehabilitate plus for my maria because my main team works heavily around the support buffs and my maria dont have the pow to effectively run psychic+...

also probably gonna pass on the fates kids banner, none of them particularly excited me and my banner pulls suck ass anyways, but also nice going on not even giving them a chapter or paralouge of their own, and revealing them way too early ahead of the banner so hype wont be as high when the banner does come out.
