@Joe_Zone_Layer @tozzeh A dedicated archer would work fine IMO, there are plenty of range-weapon characters in Smash so it's not an unworkable idea. Could still make it a character that has a sword for some attacks. There's even a perfect candidate, we just have to embrace IS claim that Lyn is an archer

@tozzeh Ngl this is my hiccup with most "FE needs more diverse rep" thought exercises. Mounted units and dedicated archers wouldn't work great with the mechanics. Niches like "a manakete" or "a dark mage" would just mean more FE1-Awakening era due to picks like Tiki and Tharja.

also sorry, wading into discourse. twt is showing me the take that fe's representation in smash would be better with an antagonist, and...i'm sorry, who the hell would they pick? most antags do NOT have star power enough to justify putting in over some of the lords

@MovingStones_4 @Only1Aether @sunshineglade In Conquest, Corrin is taken by surprise by a Faceless rushing them from behind. In Birthright, they are facing Hans, actively pointing a sword at them... and yet still get surprised somehow when he swings his axe at them?

@MovingStones_4 @Only1Aether @sunshineglade Funnily enough this is genuinely the one and only thing I think Birthright executed worse than Conquest (though it sucks in both, since Lilith is a non-character): While in theory it's better for her to die to an actual character, the scene is laid out in a dumber way.

it’s kind of funny how in birthright you have to fight the siblings you’ve known for your whole life and in conquest you’re just fighting some really angry strangers who know your name

@FreyEmblem @sunshineglade To be fair, when you pick Birthright Corrin does make it pretty clear it's not that they're choosing the Hoshidans as their family, it's that they're choosing to reject the Nohrian invasion.

@sunshineglade This is why I have beef with the beginning of fates. Like OBVIOUSLY anyone would pick the siblings you know, why would I go with some random people who claim to be blood related to me when I’m with the people I’ve known my entire life??

@magatsuizanyagi You are actually the devil.

doing side quests is so rewarding and wholesome i cant believe i skipped half of them in sc and most of them in fc. i deserve death for that

@CrimBlossom1019 @FE_Red_Dragoon @Greenthunder200 I wouldn't really count Rhajat since she can also be recruited by defeating her and completing the paralogue.

@FE_Red_Dragoon @Greenthunder200 Rev has Shura, Charlotte, and Benny, and there's also Rhajat in her paralogue.

Not saying that it isn’t a problem but I think we have a tendency to forget how rare recruiting red units in fire emblem has been for a while now Excluding the remakes, but since radiant dawn, you mostly get all your units for free with a few exceptions so it’s not a new thing-

@magatsuizanyagi It's based entirely on X-2 having an inventor named Shinra

well that just sounds stupid. what’s the basis for this theory it just sounds like fans finding points of relevance and creating a “theory” off of it

@emblemcrave Soleil is the superior model: She actually gets dates

ROUND TWO: Family dynasty of flirtannnnng SOLIEL vs INIGO/LASLOW (Poll Below)

@DarkerDisciplis @makhaccino The idea you're a "tourist" if you have any criticism at all of how certain things are done in a game is such a deeply unserious one. I've been a fan of the series for years, played all of them and love them to bits... but I still think shit like Angelica's whole deal is bad.

@makhaccino "It's problematic and makes me feel icky, change it so I don't, no I'm not a tourist stop saying that."

@Ma_Zio_nga @fuj0han Well yeah that's a whole different thing from what's being talked about because she, y'know, actually embraces and uses the name Anthiese? Like, post-temple of Mila she's openly going by that name again.

@fuj0han What about Celica Fire Emblem whose real name is Anthiese but she went into hiding hence using the name Celica? That's something completely different, right

i hate hate hate when a character is revealed to have a previous name that they don't identify with and fans insist on calling them that instead. THATS NOT THEIR NAME!!!!

@scaramuccias @ChaldeaStargazr Including one incredibly funny line at the end, when the girls are getting all philosophical and Soujyurou asks if the guys should start talking serious stuff too "I see where this is going. Sure, bring on the cryptocurrency talk."

@scaramuccias @ChaldeaStargazr Only slight differences, with some of Tobimaru's stuff being prompted by a line from Gudao instead of Aoko.

i forgot how often male Servant in part 1 flirt with Mash because she is a cute girl while completly ignoring the fact that Ritsuka is also a cute girl... they really got better at acknowledging the fact Guda can be female in part 2

@gomyincubus If Gen 1 starter designs are so good, why'd they feel the need to give them G-Max forms with new designs :V

my god not only is he a larper he's a gen wunner

@linkkling It's not a male lalafell thing to be fair... it's an Ul'dah thing.

why are all the male lalafells in the story the evilest people ever

@ton4174 @Brendzun He also includes an acknowledgment that the whole Narmer business does probably tip the scales towards Ballas because it's so off the rails.

@Brendzun I mean Roathe made a point himself that his and our opinions are slightly biased because of the time we and he spent with each one Also realistically the Orokin kinda did fucked shit to ordinary people a ton Ballas was not the only one

Ballas killed his love Forced soldiers to become Warframes Restarted the war with the Sentients Turned a pregnant woman into a Warframe Turned a young girl into a Warframe Turned a father into a Warframe, made him kill his son Subjugated a solar system Roathe: "Nitohk is worse"

@hyperlyme Bard isn't even that good IME. The true powerhouse Master card is Paladin (I think that was its name anyway?) because card recursion is truly OP stuff.

Love Vantage Masters dearly but holy shit is Bard the most unbalanced card, you should not be able to seal every turn. I hope Vincent Florald gets drafted and dies in Calvard

@hyperlyme The part of Claire and Lechters behavior during CS4 that really annoys me is how they talk about how they feel bad about Milliums death but just gloss over that they were apparently totally on board with it when the plan was to kill Altina?

I do get what they're going for here, but right now the Ironblood pity party isn't working on me

@ShonkTeHonk69 @bowlympicshero @Midgar_Blues There is no "arguing" when each act starts, they are literally defined by the official guidebooks. Act 3 starts when the Weapons are summoned, and ends with Cloud waking back up. Everything after that is Act 4.

@bowlympicshero @Midgar_Blues I would argue act 3 stars at the latter half of Disc 2. After Cloud fully accepts himself and goes off to fight Hojo with the others. (I recommend doing that fight with Vincent and Red-XIII for some great extra dialogue)

They think Mideel is Disc 3 and no one is correcting it. I cannot 😬😑🤦‍♀️

@Loyal_Samwise4 @Midgar_Blues There is no Disc 4 (Disc 1 covers everything up to City of Ancients, Disc 2 starts at Aeriths death and ends with Hojo, Disc 3 is everything after that), and also this is during Act 3. Act 4 starts when Cloud wakes back up.

@Midgar_Blues It's obvious this happens on disk 4 duh. 😂 But yeah just goes to show they aren't beating the allegations of never playing the games.

@prolifefrenchie Realistically, every "pro-life" group actively works to remove those exceptions, which are only there because of pro-choice advocacy managing to push through holes in the anti-choice laws.

realistically, pro life laws have exceptions for cases like these.
