This is the Fire Emblem that finally got me into the series as it was one of Ambassador Program offers for the 3DS and I enjoyed the heck out of it. Helps it one of the friendliest one for leveling as it has a tower map you can revisit to get weak units leveled up.

I actually thought you were talking about Stahl because I genuinely forgot Kellam even existed
I've forgotten most of the characters honestly, or only remember bits and pieces. But I remember that guy.

Still haven't finished it either. Got bogged down at some point and never got back to it. For some reason I have a really bad track record for abandoning 3DS games halfway through.

Vanessa being the primary murder vehicle in this is interesting because in a run that isn't swiss cheesed with RNG exploits she's never ever good

Fates managed to have one of the most boring casts in a series that's full of boring casts which was really impressive. Also immensely disappointing after awakening but what can you do

I feel like if you had any semblance of taste you wouldn’t like Fates. The plot was just unbearable.

I got hooked on FE via Awakening. I think I barely got halfway through Fates Birthright before I couldn't keep caring.

I love and buy most musou games but I just couldn't bring myself to buy FEW. the weapon triangle thing seemed really annoying in the demo and as a non-fan I couldn't really pick a character to be like "yeah I'll buy this poo poo to play that guy" like I did with, say, Hyrule Warriors

Isn't Fates the game where you drug a lesbian to fall in love with the male protagonist.

The boring part isn't even the game itself or the runner/couch. I love these dudes and all but the fact that he's "just" manipulating RNG a whole bunch and knows exactly what's gonna happen, even down to "hey this character is gonna hit their 2% crit chance riiiight HERE!" just kinda makes it boring. Like someone else said earlier, this is just a slow and manual RNG manip TAS.

I think I had to quit reading the LP of Fates during Revelation because all the characters sucked and I hated like half of them. Even though I’m a fan of musou games, I missed FE warriors cause too much Fates representation.

FUCK THE ISLE OF APPLES. FUCK THEM IN THEIR STUPID ASSES.
Fire Emblem is trash

I love me some tactics games but FE really is garbage. Every mission is some annoying gimmick that kills you on your first play through but is trivially easy to counter if you know it’s coming. More enemies come in from the left! from the top! from those houses! from the ship! Etc.

i mean yeah but it's wild to me that someone can memorize the exact cursor movements needed over every single tile for so many missions

I don't know why they keep flipflopping on bullshit move-on-same-turn-as-spawn reinforcements because it's the worst mechanic in every game that has it

Some games even can't decide on their own based on difficulty settings

Is this one of those playthrough "speedruns" where there isn't much to speed the game up and a lot is determined by RNG?
