1. Dorothea 2 Manuela 3 Edelgard 4 Rhea 5 Mercedes 6 Leonie 7 Hubert 8 Marianne 9 Constance 10 Jeritza Yep, seems about right, although honestly the next few (with Dimitri, Claude, Felix, Ferdinand) are really not that far behind the top ten. I like all the characters a lot, basically. Anna is dead last for me, just because she's barely a character in this game.

Eimi posted:I think the first time Raph showed up he was against Dedue or something and since I don't really care for either of them I just hit tie and I never saw his picture again. If you hit tie, I imagine the program doesn’t ever show one of the tied people because, you know, you rated them both equal so why would it bother doubling the number of choices. If X=Y and X<Z, then Y<Z without needing to take the time to ask.

1 Edelgard 2 Felix 3 Lysithea 4 Dorothea 5 Seteth and Sylvain 7 Ashe 8 Dimitri 9 Hilda 10 Mercedes Roughly what I expected, really, other than maybe being a bit surprised Mercedes is this high. Even more expected was Gilbert dead-last, because he's the worst. He's below the DLC characters and I didn't even get the DLC.

1 Leonie 2 Dorothea 3 Edelgard & Claude 5 Hilda & Sylvain 7 Lysithea 8 Constance 9 Hubert 10 Catherine & Shamir Contrasted to my tier list from a few months ago.  Well Leonie unsurprisingly shot to the top after Golden Deer. Hilda and Sylvain did a bunch better after that playthrough too, as did Catherine. I don't know why I rated Hubert so low the first time, when I was comparing him to others I found myself pretty hard pressed on people I liked more than him.

Closed the window before I thought to get the whole list, but: 1: Claude 2. Dimitri+Marianne tie (I... yes, they belong together) (stuff I didn't make a note of) 41: Edelgard+Jeritza tie 42. M!Byleth What I remember of the middle seemed more or less accurate. E: The only other paired ending I've gotten that I ended up liking that got a tie on this list was Seteth+Leonie at #22.

I got 1) Edelgard 2) Dorothea 3) Bernadetta 4) Hubert 5) Flayn 6) Ferdinand 7) Dedue 8) Seteth 9) Hanneman 10) Petra Dedue was a bit of a surprise, but I really like him and felt bad putting anyone else over him. Bottom 3 ended up being Ignatz, Jeritza and Golbert who seem to be fairly consistent with other people

Are their previous Fire Emblems with good stories? I've been pleasantly surprised by the relative maturity of TH compared to something like Final Fantasy. Some of it is dorky, but the worldbuilding is solid and the web of character relationships has me drawn in.

If you like the *sort* of story 3H has, there’s the two Tellius games, Path of Radiance (GameCube) and Radiant Dawn (Wii). And really just Radiant Dawn, but its a direct sequel to PoR so you get some added context and so on that way. Genealogy of the Holy War (Super Famicom) is somewhat grim but I hesitate to recommend it. It’s interesting as a glimpse into the history of the series and does some stiff no other FE does.... but there’s a good reason for that in most instances. Also tends to play into that sort of Game of Thrones thing of some plot points seeming to be exist more for shock value under guise of realism than because it enriches the story.

VC2 is a lot like Three Houses in story set-up. And they're also tactics games, but incorporate semi-real time 3rd person shooting. Here's my list, but take it with a grain of salt because I haven't played Blue Lions, yet and have only poached 3 of their characters into other routes: 1 Claude 2 Caspar 3 Dorothea 3 Lysithea 3 Manuela 6 Edelgard 7 Hubert 8 Shamir 8 Alois 10 Raphael And a four-way tie for 11th between Annette, Bernadetta, Hilda, and Leonie. (I would probably swap Raph and Leonie.) Scrub tier was also a four-way tie of Cyril, Gilbert, Hanneman, and Ignatz.

More seriously, VC2 is real bad and stupid and shouldn't even begin to be compared to 3H.

Hey, I said "story set-up," not "story execution."  But yeah. The characters aren't good, but I enjoy the mechanics, so I still played the poo poo out of it. That said, it's a PSP game, so you might as well just go for VC1 + 4, anyway.

AlternateNu posted:Hey, I said "story set-up," not "story execution." If you want a PSP game with the mechanics of VC2 but an actually bearable story/characters, VC3 is right there (but with the bonus of less RNG grinding for rare drops like the early-acquired-but-lategame tank cannon that can oneshot everything you run into for 3/4 of the game)

Ike is also unique still as the only FE protag who’s not a chosen one and/or secretly noble, which is nice. Also, Ike is gay, which is another great way the Tellius duology is like 3H.

1 Dorothea 2 Annette 3 Ingrid 4 Dimitri 5 Dedue 6 Hilda 7 Sylvain 8 Bernadetta 9 Lysithea 10 Felix I don’t know why Mercedes didn’t end up in the top 10, I feel like I would probably slot her in between Hilda and Sylvain but she ended up in the mid teens for some reason. Everything else is pretty dead on.

Hunt11 posted:He still has very plot relevant parents though. Yeah but only his dad Was Somebody and with the day Daein society is structured it’s entirely possible that he was not noble. His dad was Extremely Good at Swords and his mom was So Peaceful She Can Hold the Evil Artifact. This is a lot less significant than other FE protags, including the one he shares billing with in RD.

Radiant Dawn was a pretty amazing hodgepodge of ideas, some of which worked better than others. I poached a couple characters I didn't really need from the Dawn Brigade and ended up just benching them because I already had the roster I needed, which made subsequent maps harder than they needed to be, and I never regretted doing so anyways. 1: Edelgard 2: Ferdinand 3: Seteth 4: Hubert 5: Hapi 6: Bernadetta 7: Marianne 8: Petra 9: Raphael 10: Caspar With Gilbert, Lorenz and Sylvain at the bottom 3, below the nobodies. I always knew the Eagles were my fave house, but hadn't realized by quite how much.

Also 3H Blue Lions: Dimitri becoming a rage-filled madman is awesome! I can see how he'd serve as a villain in Edelgard's plotline. Claude as of the start of part 2 is a non-entity, which makes it seem like there's a whole story going over there I want to check out too.

VC1 and 4 are very good games. 4 has more QoL improvements but the gameplay is 95% the same between them and more properties should do fantasy WWII. VC3 is Japan only but there are fan translations floating around and it's a PSP game.

In terms of good plots, VC1 and 3 are definitely the best, and their maps are probably the overall best as well. VC4 is still pretty decent, but has a couple incredibly dumb parts pop up as it goes along - and they are coupled with some incredibly lovely map mechanics on certain maps (hi, how do you like us spawning a super tank with a dumb attack-while-moving armor piercing machine gun literally right next to you?). Still, VC4 is still pretty alright. VC2 is just garbage. From the story to most of the characters to the insanely tedious required grinding, it's just bad.

Amppelix posted:I hate to tell you this but the story in VC1 isn't good either. There's barely a story to begin with, none of the characters are interesting, the way they handle alicia and the valkyria powers is complete crap, and to top it all off they kill off the best character of the bunch. Selvaria was the most popular VC character by far. Of Sega game characters with staying power outside of their games there's the Sonic cast hanging over internet culture's head like a sword of damocles, there's Kiryu and Majima being surprisingly memetically enduring, and then there's her, just sort of standing alone and to the side as the outlier.

I unno bruh I just happened to be ruminating on how the dynamics of Sega's internal development studios had changed over the years and was thinking about what each team's been bringing to the table. Well, specifically thinking about RGG Studio who makes the Yakuza games, Sonic Team who are exactly what it says on the tin, and Sega CS3 who made Valkyria Chronicles. Just by coincidence I was lurking the thread while wondering about Valkyria Chronicles, then saw you mentioned killing off the best character, and you didn't necessarily mean Selvaria but it immediately put into stark relief that she is basically going to be VC's mark on broader culture at large. And she was killed off in the first game. E: Huh CS3 got folded into the same division as Sonic Team in 2018.
