^^^^ I think you'll actually find axes to be extremely rad


They're cool when paired with swords though, how strange



Horses get cooler the less armor they have. I think you'll find FE's coolness equations to be far more complicated than the mechanical equations

Let's talk about something less contentious, like mount order.

Pegasi > Wyverns > Horses > peasants who have to walk everywhere

Dragons/wyverns are the best mounts in both stats and coolness.

I forgot griffins, the order is

Pegasi > Wyverns > Wyverns (FE8 class that's actually wyverns) > Horses > Peasants > Griffins

Lances > Bows > Axes > Swords

Also, Pegasi are cooler than Wyverns and it's a shame the stats don't reflect this.

Anima is the best, but only some of the spells in some of the games. You will find this is true because nothing is cooler than ice magic.

Swords suck. If you like swords, you are bad and boring sorry.

Let's make a compromise: swords are boring because all heroes in all media ever use swords. But that doesn't mean swords can't be cool. Deal?

I will now be really dissapointed if IF lacks a spell category that involves summoning raging badgers at your opponents, a stampede of cows, swarms of hornets(although they already did that one), and the like.

Here's some more of my opinions:

the character art has improved on a technical level with each game, but the actual designs themselves peaked with 8/9

the barefoot thing is good, possibly the only good aspect of Kamui's design

butlers are better than maids

honestly, ive made fun of the doom and gloom posters so im reserving judgment just to not be a hypocrite, but my first thought is that i really, really, really hate this.

the entire thing i like about FE is that systems are simple, but now every random weapon has some sort of weird effect that you have to keep in your head.

As a frequently doom and gloom poster: smug:

Actually I'm completely ok with this because it's not like FE has any mechanics you really need to think about.
