>>717614673They did improve them in the 3 newest games, but they used to suck real fucking bad. Even in these entries besides 3H, they still are a unit type who rarely get to function on the enemy turn, which is still pretty bad.
>>717614017While very stupid, I can understand why they did that.
>>717615093I can too but I like to give it shit anyway.
How can I make my game to where speed/dex doesn't dominate?
>>717615018It's the opposite, archers have a worse track record than knights in pretty much every game. Strangely though, the prepromoted snipers are usually better than the prepromoted generals you get, though
>>717614445One of my favorite tropes is characters using dark or seemingly magic for good.

>>717615749Rusty and Boobs Ninja are basically neck in neck for best unit in the game, yeah. I'd personally give it to Boob Ninja because status stacking invalidates like 98% of the game's enemies.

>>717613392 (OP)Can I blogpost about Final Fantasy's class system, I've been playing through the OG games for the first time and I'm peeved
>FFI has you choose your classes at the beginning>FFII has you build your classes instead (eg using magic increases INT, reduces Strength)>FFIII lets you actually change classes whenever you want (but at a cost)>FFIV says "nah fuck this trend" and does a complete u-turn (zero customization, no class choices at all)>FFV does another u-turn and holy shit, you can create ANYTHING you want>FFVI has done another fucking u-turn and seems to be back to IV's "fuck you, you're playing what we want you to play" styleHow could they find perfection in V, then go back to how IV did things?
>>717613392 (OP)It's hard not to make speed and mobility the most overpowered things in a game. That's just the nature of how they work as concepts. Hell, it's even true for real life somewhat too.
>>717617662FFVI actually does a mid-way choice with Espers influencing stat growth and magic movesets
>>717617662Did you just never equip magicite or something?
>>717617910>>717617949I'm like an hour into the game, just the vibe I've initially gotten with a few characters coming and going (just like IV was the entire game)
But phew, I've got something to look forward to then, cheers
>>717617662If you like FFV's class system, you're going to love FFT. Also get used to it, FF goes back and forth on the job system a lot.
>>717618187>you're going to love FFTNeat, glad I've got that to look forward to then. The plan was to keep going through the mainline series, wasn't sure how I'd handle spinoffs (holy shit there's a lot), but that's one to note then
What's the best fire emblem for the DS?
Though there isn't much reason to play FF6 characters to anything but their strengths. You could make Celes do stuff other than Magic, but why? You just teach everybody the strongest spells too.
>>717613392 (OP)Fire Emblem is a game where choke-points can have disproportionate influence on the battle.
And yet people will insist Generals are shit. Ridiculous.
>>717613392 (OP)Kongol in legend of dragoon. Shame be cause he looks so cool
>>717618563Most games don't have maps with choke points this abusable or they have enough time pressure to make this sort of play unfeasible.
>>717617662The trend of the early FFs were very fun.
>Even - Story Focused>Odd - Gameplay FocusedYou can even see the building blocks in each game as the systems get expanded upon. But then after VII they kinda gave up and just went story-focused forever. Which is a shame, because I'd have loved to see how the job system evolved past V in mainline. I guess Tactics would be that, which is great, but is another end point because Advance and A2 do their own thing. Materia is somewhat an attempt to combine Magicite with a more traditional job system but it never hit home for me the same way.
Needless to say I think V is the peak, but I wish you the best on your journey through FF.
>>717613392 (OP)>He doesn't park his knights and generals in chokepoints for ez exp for the rest of his units. Knights and general have low speed is a pro since they usually can't double and steal exp by killing an enemy unit.

>just ignore them and use the loot you get from drops and chests and shops
>>717618563Nigga what is there to choke? The giga paladin you get right at the start in half the game doesn't need to be cowering in a corridor, he demands to lop off heads out in the open. Or maybe on a forest tile.
The games are way too fast paced and the enemies too nonthreatening for chokepoint tactics.
How can make this type of unit good?
>>717618420You can technically make everyone do anything but by the time you're done, you could have finished the game 20+ hours ago. Also, Terra/Celes can do anything due to gear options unlike the others being heavily pushed towards phys/magic.
>>717619129Chokepoint tactics are definitely useful in the earlier games. Hell, Chapter 2 of FE1 practically screams at you to do it.
I'll recommend Crystal Project to anyone that loves FFV and III
>>717619024The problem with Thieves in FE is you don't always need them if the map doesn't have doors or chests and most of them have bad stats so you have no reason to use them outside of getting chests and stealing statboosters. FE has had solutions for this as far back as FE5 with Tina's Thief staff, they don't necessarily need to be that strong but you can make the Thief a useful unit people want to deploy in ways other than combat and lower the annoyance of not having a Thief for a good stealable.

>>717619313Wasn't thinking of FE Thieves, I actually find them more useful than your average Thief in other RPGs.
>>717619264If you're choking, not a lot of things can reach you anyway. So chokepoints honestly make armors look even worse. Their shtick is high defense, and defense loses value in proportion with fewer consecutive attacks. A Cleric can often choke a point just as well as a General.
>>717619510That's why DSFE had the ultimate solution of giving them Bows.
>>717615553I remember never using the armored knight guy for the whole game but I maxed out his support convos or whatever they're called in Stella Glow and he randomly gets a +2 movement buff. That instantly makes him more useful but now he's 30 levels below everyone else.
The game encourages you to use witches but most of them are slow aside from Hilda and Popo.
>>717619510>A Cleric can often choke a point just as well as a General.im starting to understand why you shitters spammed stat boosters on all your healers in the relay

>>717621225I hate Skill Emblem in GBA hacks so much because the UI isn't designed to be checking on them constantly.
>>717618406Shadow Dragon is a very basic remake, think FireRed/LeafGreen. It's a game that you can just jump into because there's very little story or dialogue, even characterization. The most you get is the latest recruit telling Marth that they're hooking up with his army. You pick guys you think are cool and work with their middling at best growths.
New Mystery does have story, but they fuck it completely by slobbering over Kris' knob. If you don't care about or can ignore that, it's Shadow Dragon gameplay but better.
>>717621225>>717622213There's a more vanilla version of Sacred Trilogy if you don't like skill bloat.
>>717622248It's a fucking crime that Kris is the only Avatar that gets a pseudo-personality quiz (I know it's only Past/Present/Future but you know what I mean) that determines some starting stats/growths. That's so much fun, especially to min/max, and it's only on fucking Kris.

>>717615174Look at the ways they do dominate in other games and don't go down that path. The instant it starts netting more actions or evasion and hit chance are tied to it makes those stats too good to not invest into them. Hence why some other game systems have strength contribute to hit chance on melee weapons/strength based gear.

>>717617662final fantasy games where you can freely build your characters how you want are also easy as fuck because the devs have 0 idea you aren't little timmy the retard that made the stupidest choices possible so they have to lowball every boss design and can't come up with anything specific because they don't know what tools you have. meanwhile ff games where the characters are more set in what they can do like 4, 9, 10 and 13 have fights where you actually have to think sometimes.
unrestricted job system in a game like 5 or tactics is like eating candy for breakfast, its really novel for a while but you end up feeling empty and kinda want to go back to normal after a while
Never beating those meta whore allegations.
>>717613392 (OP)the problem is that armors are designed around being enemy bosses that camp thrones first and playable units second, which is why they can't be THAT tanky and theres a bunch of weapons that exist specifically to kill armors becase they don't want your run to get softlocked because you literally can't kill generic evil empire commander #21
>>717615238Sniper is usually one of the first pre promotes you get in alot of the games so they get to enjoy a bit of time of being ahead of the enemies and most your party stats wise which helps make up for their short comings.

How would you change dancers, if at all?

>>717633325>>717633480Sure, but should they keep being able to fight, or should they go back to being lemons that can't fight?
>>717618563Iโve always been a general Chad but really only recent game I can think of where they were good is ironically conquest on account of giving you some characters with good growths and having the pair up system to make up for their movement/allow them to serve as a bulwark for flimsier characters.
But games usually start spawning waves of enemies that give no xp forcing you to move fast
But really if Wyvern Knights werenโt so goddamn ridiculous while having the same bulk as generals the class might have its place.
>>717622870Putting him on wyvern Kagetsu is just ridiculous though, you can send the strongest character on the map essentially anywhere in engage mode who later has the bulk and speed to consistently quad with brave weapons.
You just engage and get a free nuke anywhere you want
I mean I know itโs not the fairest argument since you can put anything on Kagetsu and have him be your best character but still Sigurd + Wyvern knight broke things. Especially since cavalry was nerfed in general in engage.
>>717634515I like them fighting, since IS has done a good job of making dancers have stats that fit their class. Azura especially is fun to fight with since she's extremely frail but can hit like a truck if it's safe to do so (mostly useful for dual strikes), and her not being horrible at combat means that people who don't want to run dancers can reclass her without it essentially costing a unit.
>>717627713Stick him on whoever you want to have absurd movement and a free canter. The build is great for your braver users to free up SP too.
Override actually can be pretty absurd with enough strength, a lot of enemies start popping up and lining up more than youโd expect. You can hit some pretty ridiculous amounts of enemies on maddening potentially even one shotting flimsier in the row. Or the ridersbane can delete cavalry in the row.
Fliers are best for him for override imo even if itโs a niche skill, a place for it will appear eventually
>>717634868>higher strength growth than both PoR Ike and RD ike

>>717634397Etie isnโt actually horrible like some other early characters but she is victim to their being much better str options.
Chloe: Overrated or Rated?
>>717634853I thought about wyvern kagetsu + sigurd. My only real problem with that is by chapter 18 is if im running kagetsu and an armor unit (i run either louis or diamant) both of the armored units will benifit more from the dex increase and defense increase compared to wyvern kagetsu who will have around 20def compared to general louis or diamants 28-32 def.
Also no s ranked weapons so less effective override vs armored units.
Kagetsu wyvern i always end up using byleth (luin on kagetsu wyvern could be the best engage weapon in game) or lief.
Next run i think its time for general kagetsu to make an appearance. He should be absurdly good at that given his bases + has a 40def, 50spd, and 30str personal growth. So he will hit 50str, 70def, and maintain 50spd growth as a general.
>>717614801Alcryst is for annihilating thieves and siege/staff mages off the map before you even move
>>717635506she is an early game pegasus knight. so idk pretty mid and serviceable but will fall off pretty soon if you don't feed her kills
>>717622870>general DiamantPlease post your general Diamant, I want to see it.
>>717635506People want her to be Marcia/Florina/Palla so bad and she just isn't. Engage is not that kind of game.
>>717633098Make them break dancers.
>>717635506Underrated. She's very cute.
>>717635506Fat ass and big boobs good but not great
>>717613392 (OP)>if you are going to build a slow tank they have to be invulnerable and deal counter/ passive AoE status effect damage, plus have 3 super transformations to be viable>the devs will do everything in their power to nerf this buildYes I realize this is actually a fire emblem thread.
>>717633843>>717627713Yeah this is the way. A lategame Sigurd Louis or someone equivalent can scoot across half the map and assassinate the one mage/staff user in a pack that might cause any concern and be relatively out of harm's way, or unleash the pain train with a well timed override
>>717613943>>717616448Only for Speed. Better off raising as Hunter.
>>717635506My take on Chloe is that she's good because of the fact that you can build her for very low investment, but she actually benefits extremely from fixed growths, because she's liable to get STR/MAG screwed on random.
>>717613392 (OP)Does anyone remember Yggdra Union? Fuck that game was hard. No matter how you built your units or equipped them, it felt like battles were a 50/5 coinflip.
Any unit that doesn't have a horse is dogshit in these games
>>717635506Rated just right, good for the entire game and scales well even if thereโs some strength issues at points. I think with her you either commit to wyvern knight give her str or go for the Pegasus class that gives magic growth
And you have to give somebody early xp so sheโs the only real candidate
>>717633098I actually really liked three houses implementation of dancer.
>Unit is falling off>Make em a dancer>Have a shit ton of other utilities in the game like rally, batallions and shove so that the best option isn't always to just dance your juggernaut

>>717631157Banner of the Maid is the only one I've played with anything approaching merit
>>717636065I bought it on sale a couple days ago. Pretty early in it, but I've read a couple guides and I still for the life of me do not understand its mechanics. It's the most opaque shit. I almost want to hold it up as a case study in how tactics games can get up their own ass in their complexity.
I will probably go back to it in earnest after finishing up UFO 50. Surprisingly that has a much more coherent strategy game in that is weirdly deep but easy to understand (Lords of Diskonia).
>>717635467No there really isnt its quite a close race actually. She is one of the better str options. Especially in early game. Etie will start with 10str, have a 55 str growth. By the time she hits level 11as an archer she will be at 13 str. You get amber who has 15str at level 11 and a tard strength unit. Only units who beat her out in early game are louis and amber. Kagetsu and zelkov are both cheater units and if you keep etie as an archer til lvl 17 she will have 16 str. So one behind kagetsu and 1 ahead of zelkov.
>>717635506She's rated just right, never seen people push her as a huge combat unit. She starts off pretty good as one, and then becomes a utility unit that can still sometimes contribute, especially with Levin sword. I feel that she is consistently worth being 1/3-4 units that you feed early game
>>717636195Not that guy, but Rutger is kinda overrated a bit. He's mostly carried by HM bonuses and FE6 SM being cracked, but I still don't really bother using him beyond the early game much.
>>717636097Eliwood. Fucker sucks ass as a unit but then has the gall to act like he killed the dragons, ludo little fuckstain.
>>717635775I cheated by using him with tiki on a run where i was armormaxxing. If you run general diamant you want to use dracoshields on him. He will be relying on speed to prevent him getting doubled until around ch 17 where he getting doubled by warriors.
Very respectable general, especially with sigurd, sword power, and something else like pairup.
>>717635467Meh, the gap between Etie/Louis/Amber is pretty small, its just that the boys are a bit easier to promote than she is. Panette is the only one that's clearly better than all of the high strength options.
>>717635506A bit of both. She's one of the best early game options you have for long term usage (Chloe, Amber, Citrinne are the most common picks with Louis not too far behind), but you really need to give her a damage boosting emblem for the last third or else she falls off hard. Also, MK Chloe isnt worth going into right away.
>>717636097Shanna, maybe Florina
Not because of their personalities or anything, but because they are the shining example of LTC faggotry skewing perceptions on unit strength and trickling down to fags who don't even LTC when they open their big dumb mouths to discuss tiering.
>>717635982Ninja is the best to raise people in specifically because speed is the god stat and FFTA in particular loves to shower you in nonsense nukes or instant death options. Weapon Atk+/Turbo MP and Dual Wield if you like to basic attack will more than fix your damage output

>>717637027Yes just use lucina or lyn on her.
>>717637027Lyn still gives her bonus speed and hit. Secret Books and Goddess Icons are also not competitive.
>>717636438>but I've read a couple guides and I still for the life of me do not understand its mechanicsIt has a randomness factor where even if you get it just right and know which items to equip ahead of time, one wrong coinflip and you've fucked your morale for that unit for multiple chapters, if not the whole game. Fucking brutal. But the PSP version has a difficulty setting, I think, been a long time.
>Lords of DiskoniaI'll check it out, thanks.
>>717636951I like Shanna since her stats are deceptively good, but I agree for Florina. Using her often feels like insect surgery due to just how many things can go wrong in a single turn with her.

>>717636073Hey big Guy...
>>717637397Tiki is unironically a bottom tier emblem. Why complain about her when you have game breakers Micaiah, Lucina, and Lyn in the base package?
>>717637397All the game ruining emblems are in the base game retard.
>>717637235>t. LTCfagSkipping maps isn't impressive
>>717637606She is good in casual play, retardo
>>717637334Theyโre all part of Eliwoodโs harem
>>717637517Why does Emblem Tiki get sucked off so hard? Is it because of the growth boost skill?
>>717637656If you scrimblo her up in Lyn mode, I guess she would be. However, if you take off those training wheels, she's bench juice.
>>717637305Go sub to his onlyfans then. You can watch him slay the Dragonโข up his asshole.
>>717637728She has that extra life skill and a ghetto version of Corrin's freeze
>>717637728She's the "number go up" emblem and that's like catnip to casualfags. Never mind that growth rates are not that important in Engage, and she only raises them by 15, and you have to keep the dumb useless skill equipped the entire game to even notice the benefit, when you could have a skill that actually does something in the meantime.
Her emblem itself is also pure filler, pretty much ruins the wielder's combat by turning them into a giant chicken. I guess the nicest thing she has is the extra life bar.
>>717637606>um actually skipping maps does not make you a good unit because I say solmao
>>717637517>>717637542I'm not complaining about Tiki, i'm complaining about the DLC as a whole.
>get to chapter 11 on vanilla maddening>you are running for your life>get to chapter 11 with DLC>you have a bunch of emblems that trivialize the map.It's just dumb as shit
>>717637963>Look at me, I'm avoiding playing the game>Now suck me offFuck off, you're no different from a speedrun tranny
>>717637942I used Tiki on Timerra for my "DLC only, no base game Emblems" ironman and thought they synergized really well together for more Sandstorm procs, Sandstorm working off Tiki's engage weapons, and turning Timerra pleasantly bulky in a run where I couldn't just warpskip/Astra Storm cheese the harder stages
>>717637996Chapter 11 is really a very easy map. I swear it gets overrated on a vibes level.
I get your point overall, though, I just don't think 11 is even remotely a good example. It does trivialize an actually difficult map where you also don't have emblems, though (22).
>>717636807>BLD 19Just incredible.
>>717638142it's ok, there's nothing wrong with playing suboptimally, just don't pretend your style of play has any bearing on what makes a unit good
>>717631157Super Robot Wars
>>717638240>Playing optimally is when I rig the game to avoid playing it(lol
>>717613880Tactics Ogre did ninjas as pretty middle of the road.
>>717636951>LTC faggotry skewing perceptions on unit strength and trickling down to fags who don't even LTC when they open their big dumb mouths to discuss tiering.It's bizarre. How does it make sense that 99% of fire emblem discussion is about some gimmick mode that NOBODY plays? Seriously there is not even a single person in this thread that does LTC runs yet the vast majority of posters will judge units on the basis of LTC according to what they heard from some other guy who also doesn't play LTC.
>>717638286Ninjas are solid in every version except for Reborn.
>>717638340It's because LTCfags got a massive ego when they opposed grindfags for calling their playstyle optimal, and they ironically fell into the exact same trap as the grindfags did.
>>717638340>How does it make sense that 99% of fire emblem discussion is about some gimmick mode that NOBODY plays? Because...you made that up. You're attacking a bogeyman. Retards always do this. If you dare say flight or a mount is a useful trait in Fire Emblem generally, they call you an LTC tranny. Tell me how having a strong flier in Living Legend ISN'T useful if you're playing slow, please.
>>717637027Is it an ironman? If you don't have the option to reset/rewind, and you're playing without the Somniel, you have to pay much closer attention to the crit game, and that sort-of makes lucklets unappealing. That's not to say Ivy can't work, just that you'll need to take care not to expose her to crits. Remember, engraves aren't your only option for shoring up hit rate, you also have supports to help with that. Alcryst, Zelkov and Panette all give her hit+15 with just a C support, while everyone else gives hit+10.
>>717633730>still using shitterswtf is wrong with you
>>717636097Roy.
>Weak as a unit>Late promo that forces you to ferry him across the map with his 5 move and inferior stats>Hard carried by his busted ass weapon that can break if overusedHe's only remembered because of Smash, he'd be on Leif's level otherwise, maybe even below Leif.
>>717638761>Alcryst, Zelkov and Panette all give her hit+15 with just a C support, while everyone else gives hit+10.Do they have to be like adjacent or two spaces away for this to work? Or is it just if they're deployed together?
>>717636097Alfonse
Engage has his sword, so it counts.
Genuinely the worst Lord in FE, none come close. Name something you hated about another lord, and he's done it.
>>717638340because the average /v/tard thinks anything less than 100 turns per map = LTC
the average casual doesn't even care what LTC players do, it's exclusively people who want to pretend to know what they're talking about who then have a breakdown over people who actually do, and need to make up some strawman to feel better about themselves
>>717628291The original IV is very easy, only got harder in the DS version.
9 is also super easy because of how busted some of the mechanics are.
for me, it's myrrh and ephraim. loved using those two in sacred stones.
>>717638810Leif almost made it into Smash, being the latest FE lord during part of its development. God, imagine that timeline. Roy is such a milquetoast twerp.
>>717638713>LTCfagsNo, I can understand LTCfags defending their playstyle to the death. The problem is that those LTCfags don't actually exist. Instead you have casual players that take more turns that you or I do yet still pretend that units are not viable if they take an extra turn to complete a task.
>>717638824Jade looks like THAT?
>>717638810>>717638964It's ironic because the way Roy is characterized by Smash and the Smash community is closer to Leif than it is to canon Roy.
>>717638810I like treating him as a King piece, but even I wish he promoted before the literal end of the game. There's no reason why it should've been delayed that long.
>>717638832It has to be adjacent tile for the effect, unfortunately they didn't go with the 3-tile system here. They are useful enough that you should be trying to get the most out of them though. They are quintessential for doing the FX chapters, because most of your units will have 130~140 hit at best, and some of the dodgiest foes have 60-70 avoid.
>>717638964Smash did an amazing job with Roy's design, it will be hilarious if FE6 ever makes it into the west, people will finally realize that Roy is actually fucking trash.
They couldn't have given this to you a few chapters earlier?
>>717638964>Leif almost made it into SmashPretty sure Sakurai confirmed that was never true.
>>717639234Did something change? People have been saying it for years.
>>717639032Those are the armchair variants of LTCfags. A common trait among them is that they spend more time on wikis and their hugboxes than actually playing the game, so they will constantly miss the nuance of actual gameplay.
>the nuance of actual gameplay: "stop being mean to knight amelia >:(!"
>>717639395tldr; a guy made it up as bait years ago, and multiple interviews since then proved his leak was always fake.

Also like don't you need an unpromoted Florina or heath to rescue drop hector and hawkeye?
being able to rescue drop hector and hawkeye and being able to reach side objectives is relevant in all but the most casual playthroughs

>>717641878sometimes you want to drop hawkeye into a spot you can't reach without a flyer so he can kill dudes there and sometimes you need a flyer to get to villages and shit
>>717641918rath is more of an ltc tranny thing, like he has slight utility in being able to rescue drop but I'd say the fliers are more impactful
>>717641967What are those times exactly that I specifically want Hawkeye to do that instead of all my other combat units? Also, Florina is not the only flier in the game, you have 3 more that are all more competent, with two of them joining soon after Florina.
>>717641967These people legitimately don't understand that a unit can be a useful and valuable deployment without ever seeing combat. It's hopeless.
Florina hate is so forced
>>717642016There's nothing more ltctranny than using an unpromoted Florina just to rescue specifically the biggest promoted Hector and Hawkeye. Rath can actually exist as a real unit instead of a taxi.
>>717641937Counterpoint: He looks cool and has the greatest edgekino amv the series has ever produced
>>717642209Countercounterpoint: He's a loser, and that amv should have gone to Eir.

>>717642082hawkeye has 16 con, literally only florina and heath can pick him up, the other 3 fliers can't. And I've dropped him on or near mountains before. he's decent because he's tanky but doesn't always double and can mountain or water walk so sometimes it's petter to send him somewhere than to send like pent or harkin and marcus has other shit to do
>>717642094yeah I guess so
>>717642190rath is a pretty shitty class and can't fly. most of his utility is rescue dropping. other than that he only really works if you can put him at like 2 range vs 1-2 range enemies
>>717640892Those satellite things in the transformation were so unnecessary and off putting

>>717642601deploying florina for rescuing hector is perfectly fine on the one map it's actually relevant (victory or death)
>>717642310yeah the seethe over the fliers is dumb as shit
>oswin>hector>raven>canas>hawkeye>pent>harkinand to a lesser extent
>nils/ninian >jaffar are all pretty good combat units, but a lot of times you need to drop them into the area they have to fight dudes in if you don't want to slowly grind up the map or if you want to secure side objectives like chests or villages
>>717642601heath doesn't show up until later and you can't rescue drop hawkeye if heath promotes.
only like a handful of units are any good in combat and you want them fighting dudes on enemy turn anyway so rescue dropping strong, durable units who have shitty movement speed like oswin, hawkeye, pent and harken to better spots so they can kill dudes is based
Why did games like Awakening and Fates go so hard on reclassing shit when there's no need to make uber characters?
>>717642884because it's fun
>>717642884Replayability.
>>717642798>Heath doesn't show up until laterHe shows up before Hawkeye, the only unit for which this retarded aid autism is required, shows up. For other units, you have Fiora who has real stats and who can rescue the non Hawkeye unit just fine
>B-but Heath can't rescue Hawkeye anymore if he promotesNeither can Florina. Not promoting just to have flier rescue for 1 fatass is extreme autism, and isn't warranted when he's not the only unit who can fight.
>>717642782Sure, but that's extremely niche and doesn't make Florina a good unit. It just means that she's the flier who sits on the bench for the entire game instead of getting promoted.
>>717643005heath is good enough in combat it's worth using him and promoting him so he can fight enemies and get to objectives that you can only easily get to with flying. florina is good because there is a bunch of side objectives you need to get to but don't need combat or you want to send hawkeye there and this way you can promote heath.
do you not use ninian or nils? Like there are always tons of extra roster spots half the time
>>717643141you cant get heath until chapter 21 so for the first bunch of chapters florina is either your only flier or you need have 2 and can use her sister/heath for side objectives that need fighting and florina for jobs that don't require combat
who are you going to take, some filler like dart or guy?

>>717642942Having small route splits adds to repeatability way more imo
>>717643536Alfred deserves nothing, but neither do most of the people down there.
Why does FE7 have so many early game useless filler units but then gives you like god mode dudes at the end?
>>717643569Eh, that just gives you one extra playthrough. And then on repeat ones you're gonna usually pick the maps you like more, or if it's a game like SRW you'll just pick the ones that have the secrets you're hunting or that uses more of your chosen roster.
taking a break from fe to play some other strategy games, triangle strategy any good? I have it on my backlog and remember sliding off it when I heard there was a supposed golden route and when it felt like new recruits where completely unconnected to the rest of the game
>>717643567it's not LTC shit, you retarded tranny. there are a bunch of maps with side objectives like villages or chests and fliers like Florina let you get the items from those villages or chests without combat.
And if you don't rescue drop guys like hawkeye or harken get left behind or you have to move the speed of your slowest unit
>>717613392 (OP)>Game has armor mechanic>Game also has block mechanic>And elemental-resist mechanics>But armor caps out at 30% damage resist with minmaxxed setups>Blocking makes you stagger and take 4x damage on the next hit>Elemental resist caps at 50% with minmaxxed setups and there's no resistance for poison (most dangerous element in the game and most common in the endgame)I just don't fucking get it, why does every fucking game need to be dodge/parry slop?

>>717645805Yeah, that's why you send the fast strong unit to go take care of the side objective while the rest of your army handles the rest of the map. You do this on Merlinius' Gaiden, for example.
>>717645836instantly on the lord obviously
>>717645047Who exactly looks the same?
>>717645843isadora is slow
>>717645851I played it years ago, you gay retard. the game is over 20 years old. you are clearly retarded, you must be from yurop
>>717645836Whenever i get them in older games, theres usually always a unit that's close to a benchmark, newer games i tend to just hold onto them
>>717645881>objective is on the other side of the mountain they literally show you how to use fliers to get side objectives in the first few chapters of FE8 with saving the one manlet and getting that one hoe from the monster village
>>717645946Do they? You can beat that map just fine without ever using Rescue.
>>717645893The one thing that Isadora isn't is slow. Again, you're only exposing yourself as a retard who doesn't play FE7.
>>717645984they literally do, they tell you to rescue drop one of the units in the second or third chapter of FE8. right after you get your first flyer you have to fly over the mountain and save a green if you are playing with the tutorial on
>>717646008she is slow, you gay retard. she doesn't consistently double and she's frail

>>717645794trading some str and def for spd and mov is a great deal when 1 or 2 mov is massive.
>>717646054>actually knowing what the tutorials tell you to doEmbarrassing. Anyway, you don't have to Rescue Ross to save his life. You don't even have to move all that fast either since there's only a couple enemies over there and he'll use his Vulnerary. If they actually wanted to teach you that you have to use Rescue, they would have made it so Ross got ORKOd.
who cares, just use whoever you want to

Here's a question for REAL fans. Do you like stealing lockpicks?
I think it's cool and challenging to get an enemy thief's lockpick before he unlocks any chest or door. I always had more lockpick uses than I ever needed.
>>717646054>16 base speed>50 speed growthshe's not slow, she just gets killed by her fucking 6 Con. slap a body ring on the poor girl
>>717646120It's nice to do to sell their Lockpicks since they're usually worth a good amount.
>>717646054Isadora is as fast as a level 20 Kent. Play some FE7, retard-kun.
>>717646104>no they don't teach you to do that, >well actually they literally do, but that's not the point reeeeethey also make it so there's a stat booster on like the 5th map that you can only really get by rescue dropping the thief because otherwise he gets raped

>>717646213birthright
or lower the difficulty
>>717613392 (OP)Still my favorite unit from Fire Emblem. I will quarterback one down the field until he's breathing down the neck of their officers through full plate mail.
>>7176462133HRT is perfect for you
>>717646213Who the fuck told you to pick CQ Lunatic for your first game?
Awakening, Sacred Stones, FE7 are all retard friendly first FE games
PoR is slightly (very slightly) harder than those, but still a good first FE
>>717646207Lyn Mode forces you to do a lot of stupid things. A tutorial isn't necessarily right. The game itself demonstrates there is no need to rescue Ross to save his life, which you can see by playing the chapter.
>>717646213Thracia 776.
No, really. The game does throw a lot of bullshit your way, but gives you a lot of bullshit to fight back with
>>717646213Just play it on hard? Lunatic CQ is one of the more difficult FEs to go through
>>717646240why did you post the scrimblo meme character and not the actual RD archer?
>>717646304you need to rescue the thief in like chapter 5 if you want him to be able to steal the stat booster without getting raped and gaped
>>717645887Clanne and Framme
>>717646078I'm starting to think that as long as generals have low movement, they'll never feel worthwhile to use. How do you balance them other than making them impervious to physical attacks?
>>717646120I steal every lockpick no matter how little tactical benefit there is to doing so. If it's not nailed down, I'm getting the loot
>>717613392 (OP)Only if you're some kinda faggy speedrunner. Generals, snipers, and swordmasters are the best units in every game.
>>717646373they are twins.
>>717646358Base Colm can survive one round. Hard Mode Saar has 18 MT and base Colm has 18 HP and 3 DEF. He lives with 2 HP.
>>717646191I didn't know they were worth a lot. I never tried selling them.
>>717646426I do so as well. It's really fun.
>>717646345If it weren't for this character, I'd be a schizo hating on RD all day every day. He's saved my life.
>>717646443You misspelled Hero there. It's the class of the biggest Chads in FE.
Florina is a C- tier unit
>>717646419You create a need for their sturdiness, game would need better map design, enemy design is already there as they can be very useful in cases like CQ or engage, but once you know the maps it's better to just have a better mov, better offense unit/class. If there was a need to defend a point they'd have a use

>>717646896>you need to use a flier to get to the rapier village on the erika chapter with the pirates early onThere you go, you finally have the first time in the game you NEED a flier. IIRC a Pirate Ross can also sufficiently lure the Pirates, but I'll give you this one. If I don't deploy a flier or have that, I'm never gonna get that village.
>>717646603It's a mage that has an energy ring. If you're playing casually you can simply walk around the map with your team, steal from the mage, and kill him. But if you're doing a specific LTC challenge you might rescue drop seth across the map and steal the energy ring without clearing the nearby enemies.
Many posters on /v/ watch youtubers like dondon doing ultra specific challenge runs and then internalize those strategies as the ONLY possible ways to play each map. These posters never actually play the games for themselves, or if they do they simply copy strategies 1:1 without any consideration for the different circumstances of their playthrough versus the specific gimmick run they watched.
>>717646896I use Vanessa to kill enemies instead, since she can actually do that well unlike Florina. For Colm, I just have him run over the river.
Who cares, just post porn
>>717646946some retards think all fliers are bad because they play easy mode and reset when anyone dies and take 90 turns per map

>>717646304No it doesn't.
>>717647134nothing to see here
>>717647072LTCs got started because people were arguing

>>717647185The first game that ranked you on your turn count was Genealogy.
>>717647124she can rescue drop hector and hawkeye and harken, that makes her better than like 80% of the units who aren't harken or marcus or pent

>>717647326she's literally just as bad as florina at killing shit unless you invest a ton of exp and stat boosters on her, fag boi
>>717647282If you're answering a question on when something like LTCing started, then it has a history much older than FE7. Frankly it has a history older than Genealogy as well, clearing the game in less turns is as objective of a metric of better play as you're going to get and people were already playing like that in FE3 and other SRPGs.
>>717647282True, but that doesn't stop it from being the best Japanese European fantasy game.
>>717647387no one fucking speaks nip. the first FE game was FE7
>>717647237Rescue dropping Harken isn't hard, funny how you have to try to pretend she's special for doing so. Again, having a dumbass niche to rescue 1 to 2 fatasses specifically when unpromoted when other units can do so, promoted or not, is a meme. I'll stick to the other fliers and mounts instead of deploying a liability for the sake of babysitting a unit who quite frankly doesn't need it.
>>717647423Right now you have the same mentality as a child covering up their ears saying "I'm not listening!".
>>717647350>35% strJust use stronger weapons as the game goes on if you need to. Not common, because SS has garbage enemies
>25% defThat's as much as Franz, even at base. How is that bad again, retard-kun?
>>717647437>when unpromoted when other units can do so, promoted or not, is a meme.other units can't that's the point. only Florina and Heath are the only fliers with 16 aid and if you promote heath because he is actually good at combat he no longer has 16 aid. if you want to rescue drop fat ass characters like hawkeye you need someone unpromoted or you need rath
>>717647359Vanessa

>>717647448no one speaks nip, you actual tranny. the first FE game was FE7 most people started with FE7 or FE8
>>717647618Vanessa doesn't double shit when you get her. you have to use the retard squad to set up kills for her and again, there is shit you can do with fliers that doesn't involve combat
>>717647605You can also use Eligood, or unpromoted Sain/Kent alongside Rath to rescue Hawkeye. If your only use is "can rescue a very specific unit when unpromoted", then your unit is shit.
>>717647497it was a trap.
she doesn't have 25% defense growth.
YOU DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW SHIT ABOUT THE GAME HAHAHAHA
>>717647660I started with FE8 20 fucking years ago and at that point nearly every old game had a translation already which I played because I love Fire Emblem. You're just a pretender.
>>717647695none of those characters fly
>>717647732you, are a tranny

>>717647763They fly when I turn on my ignore terrain codes.
>>717647072>why do people who don't do them care so much about them?The problem is that most modern 'meta'fags are citing 'meta' that is only relevant when you are playing an LTC, which almost literally no one actually does. Actual LTCers like donlot don't beat the games legitimately in the first place, so these strats are not actually relevant to the meta of playing the game normally like the vast majority of people do.
>>717647857>Actual LTCers like donlot don't beat the games legitimately in the first placeHuh?
Stop fighting and watch this shit
>>717647660Vanessa doubles every enemy on her joining map and next several maps with the Slim Lance, retard. With 1 speed level, she doubles most enemies with the iron lance as well
If you play the nip version, she's even faster and doubles most enemies at base with the iron lance
>>717647894Save states and RNG manipulation rigging are not legitimate play.
>>717647902thats kinda sick. game?
>>717647938she doesn't kill them. I had to set up kills for her with the rest of the retard brigade
>>717647947Dondon does do RNG manip but everything is single-segment. Which I was thinking about recently, and playing with an RNG counter and the same RNs from the beginning kind of defeats the purpose of doing it single-segment, doesn't it?
>>717647697I had a feeling that was wrong, but I gave your numbers the benefit of the doubt since I didn't assume you'd be pretending to be retarded. Not that 5% changes much (lol
>>717613640Speed is speed. Dexterity is skill, which is a complete memestat.
>>717648058Loses to silver blade
>>717647980>she doesn't kill themNeither does most units not called Seth kek. However, she deals the most damage to them and tanks them just fine.
I want to FUCK eirika and ephriam
>>717648136Only in Genealogy where Iron, Steel and Silver are strict upgrades. In other games many people lack the CON to wield the Silver Blade.
>>717648145yeah, so she's part of the retard brigade and you either need to grind, like florina or use her for noncombat, like florina

>>717648428Damn, Marcus is part of the retard brigade...
>>717648463marcus can reliably kill units on his own for most of the game
>>717617662The major complaint with ff4 was that it locked you into very specific rosters at every phase of the game, while ff6 mostly tries to give you a large selection of character types where you can pick and choose your preferred party.
Coincidentally, (base JP 1.0) FF4 with its tightly controlled party is also the only FF game with tight balance at every phase of the game, where boss difficulty matches the flow and ebb of the plot hand-in-hand.
>>717648483No he can't, he's too slow to do so in both FE6 and FE7. That's why you run the other cavs as his backup.
>for most of the ga-ACCKKK!
>>717648492Games always try to bite off more than they can chew. It's exponentially harder to balance more factors.
>>717647995there's no real difference between that and using cheat codes to dodge and critical every time
>>717648576>weapon triangle disadvantage
>>717648635There is. The single-segment stuff is probably more of a personal thing to promote reliability of strategies.
>>717648182>CONsilver blade weighs less than steel blade in fe6
>>717648182silver is lighter than steel in every game with blade type weapons, except Engage where that specific weapon doesn't care about build because it ain't doubling regardless
>>717646998>Many posters on /v/ watch youtubers like dondon doing ultra specific challenge runs and then internalize those strategies as the ONLY possible ways to play each mapSo fucking true, and it's how we got to see kino like pic related during the relays.
>>717618563Very few sections of any fire emblem game actually involve the idea of protecting your territory from the enemy, most focus on doing the opposite and carving a path through enemy territory to an objective.
>>717648773single segment is absolutely meaningless in a game like FE where you can easily copy the actions of a TAS
>>717624146Maybe that could work as long as it's the version that causes you to crit every time.
>>717648846Kek, getting Seth killed is straight up impressive.
>>717648972Seth is bigly overrated.
>>717648846Relays proved that gameplayfags are a bunch of frauds.
>>717647995>single-segment??? How does he know how many RNs he needs to burn to force an outcome then?
>>717649010Strangely, despite being utterly busted to hell and back, yes he is. People assume that you can just ignore strategy completely when, in truth, you can only ignore strategy 90% of the time.
>>717649103With the RN counter. He doesn't do arrow manip all that much, though that doesn't mean things aren't manipulated in other ways.
>>717649103there's a RN viewer overlay
>>717649145>the RN counterThe what?
>>717649183It's an external tool.
>>717649202>an external toolOh, okay. So again, not legitimate play. Basically the same as save states.
>>717647072Low-turn-count is a pretty standard challenge run for strategy games, its the natural thing math and stats people do when they start to get bored of normal playthtoughs of their math and stats game. The people worshipping it are retards who think that it is somehow an optimized version of standard play rather than a challenge run designed to see if you can beat the game with fewer resources.
>>717649239I never staked a claim on its legitimacy. In fact I initially said it's as good as that too.
>>717646472Hero is solid too
>>717649108I've never played fe8 but isn't that game piss easy? Titania and Seth mostly get the credit they do because they're games are easy.
>>717649268I wonder why fe moved away from turn count based challenges? Maybe difficulty settings make it kind of pointless.
>>717649367Because Echoes is a great game.
>>717649316Yes, but there are a few things that are dangerous even for Seth to brute force, as rare as they are.
>>717649367There's stuff to talk about.
It's not cordial, but it's stuff.
>>717649367My wife is NOT a slut, anon!
>>717649367>Best FE7 pegaslut>Also best FE7 girlFiorachads stay winning
>>717649316Seth is really just hilariously better than the "growth unit" shitters you are stuck with for the first half of the game. He falls off quickly, having okay defenses and solid speed but not enough damage to effectively deal with later chapters, but at this point the game also starts dumping other powerful prepromotes like duessel and myrrh on you.
>>717649442>pegasus unitCanon slut, right next to dancers and female mages.
turncount as a basis for challenge is retarded if you sacrifice reliability, obviously a strategy that causes you to die 99.9% of the time isn't a "good" fire emblem strategy that normal players would aim for. But there are very few turncount-based challenges that also factor in reliability and those are respectable as long as you recognize that it's not the only way to play.
