Probably because anybody can grow wings regardless of their base stat growth unlike other FEs.
And that is reflected in the enemies to an extent.

And on top of that you get innate Canto, dismounting with basically no opportunity cost, and the flying classes have great growths on top of it all.

STATUS: SCOTT IS AN IDIOT

RoyalScion posted:

You can’t recruit Rhea, you have to pick correct choices in dialogue and/or feed her items to get her to upper support ranks. B rank is locked until he beginning of chapter 7 and A rank is locked until the beginning of chapter 11. You can only s rank her on church route.

For obvious reasons you can’t rank her up at all after the timeskip so you have a hard stop of support ranking right before starting the halter 12 mission.

That would’ve been good to know sooner. That’s awful.

If it's any consolation, I would describe her A rank as utterly creepy, and not in the Annete-song-subject kind of way .

Rhea's A support is basically her just staring at your eyes and breathing heavily while going "hehehee finally.... finally hehehee" while Bylthe gets increasingly freaked the gently caress out, and if you tell her "n-no it's fine" she just keeps going

I was kind of expecting more from a support but it's just like heavy murderer vibes.

Yeah I don't think anyone really thought a JRPG pope figure was going to be the most upstanding character but I still wasn't prepared at Church ending where she declares that she's blood-related to both your parents, calls you "mother," then dies. Been thinking, you could probably replace the whole church of seiros with a vampire blood cult and it'd come off as more overtly villainous maybe but somehow /less/ creepy.

Flyers are always busted in every FE and it's no surprise that I'm a game where everyone can be a flyer, everyone is at their best flying
If there was a magic flying class then literally everyone would want wings

I just don't understand why they would give the flying classes great growths while simultaneously gimping the speed growth of every single cavalry class

It's creepy but I'm fine with it since half the game is dealing with everybody's mental issues.

I'll never get tired of KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM, Dimitri is great.

Although I think overall GD is the best route Claude is the most boring lord (relative to the others in 3H) in the game full of crazy people and as such he's not nearly as entertaining.

this glorious monument

I know every game has mechanical imbalances but after 200 hours this games faults are making me sad.
Non-Magic users:
On foot (hands you a pair of knuckles unless girl in which case hands you a flying horse/wyvern)
On horseback (hands Bernadetta a bow and everybody else their pink slips)
On wings (hands you a raise)

Give me a weapon master class whose innate ability is auto sword/axe/spear breaker or something. Jeez.

I do find it funny how Fates bent over backwards to stress that nobody is blood related and you aren't loving your real sibling meanwhile Three Houses lets you marry the woman who's an amorphous mix of your daughter and your mother.

on my current run, I've finally come to understand this comic

if you are capable of being a brigand, congratulations, you are now a brigand.

It was even worse in Awakening since grinding was unlimited and there was no hard level cap so you could go nuts leveling every class a character had for the various skill unlocks. Also, be glad this game doesn't have children and the nightmare euthenics that naturally result from optimizing them.

The funny thing about the galeforce thing is you really hard to work your rear end off to get that and by the time you did they really didn't need it at all because the way the stats worked they'd be so jacked beacuse one of the parents had to be level 15 dark flier to even pass on the skill!

I mean I still did it, but, you know.

Some of the overturned DLC maps were a lot easier if you have enough Galeforce to field a full team. But yeah, for the main story, even on Lunatic grinding out GF on everyone would leave you way over-leveled.

The interesting thing about Edelgard is, on her route at least, she's completely sane.

"This may have been a mistake."
So quick question (early game): I just finished a mission on 9/7 where I went into an underground passage and beat the crap out of a dark knight. Suddenly the game decided that no, I really didn't want to spend the next 3 weeks managing my people and having fun with the whole aspect of growing my students, and that instead I wanted to skip straight to 10/4. What gives? Did I screw something up?

The game explicitly warned you about it advancing the story. You can choose to just end the day instead of pursuing the obvious plot thread and waiting until the end of the month where it automatically happens.
Otherwise it ends the entire month early.

Ah, cool, got it. I didn't understand that when the game said it would advance the story that it would kick me to the next month! I'll go back and redo that whole section then.

My postillion has been struck by lightning.
I love this game but it has so many stupid little UI issues. Would it be that hard for the game to keep track of who I assign adjutants to instead of reassigning them to the first characters on my roster and making me fix that every single battle? Or to let me use stat boosters from the convoy instead of loving around with my characters' inventories to make room for them?

Or having some easy place you can see your professor level at (and exp), or being able to quickly switch between character pannel/classes easily, etc etc. Just so many awkward UI stuff.

Meanwhile I took the opposite tack of, all the grinding made me so overpowered I figured I'd just not use galeforce to maybe see some semblance of excitement? But I also played on hard and again ground my face because if the game lets my grind to get "perfect" classes I loving will no matter how unfun it is. (I'm really loving happy we don't have another galeforce)

fake edit: shipping for galeforce is wrong though, you're support to ship for character dynamics drat it. I don't care if it gimps the kid. :colbert:

Fed Rhea enough owl feathers/goddess statues to unlock the B support

slightly amused that the whole thing is largely just "hey, quick question, are you my mom yet? are you almost her?? has she begun overtaking your consciousness yet??? no? awww."

The monastery sections were pretty fun pre timeskip, but it feels like a slog now. More points to do stuff with but less people to interact with. I'm just spending the excess points in the tournament, at least money is actually relatively tight so money grinding isn't superfluous.

in my mental model of Garreg Mach, Seteth is one of those office workers who look like they're putting in 60 hrs/wk but at least 50% of that time is him at his desk scratching out sideprojects (in this case, The Illuminated Lives of the Saints as illustrated by Bernadette)

she missed an attack with a 91% hit chance, how :psyduck:

e: just looked up her spell list and loving lol she's getting the bench after Eagle and Lion when I lift my recruitment embargo. Her only claim to fame is Fortify*, and Mercedes has that and more.
