Endorph posted:also if you play maddening on fixed exactly once its basically random, in that you've never played with the characters like this before. iunno why they made that decision but its not that big a dela if you play the games ten times like me. I think they want to guarantee a baseline level of “fairness” for maddening at least on the first time around

i read a like 30 chapter one of tatiana and zeke from echoes that made me appreciate those characters more but i lol'd at the ending author's notes where the author went 'i played mystery of the emblem and did zeke really go all the way to archanea to break up with his clingy ex'

I ended up liking plenty of the ladies that I had to agonize between Goldmary (horrible woman) and Ivy for the S rank, I never felt like there were was much ship energy from the supports I saw. Diamant/Alfred and I was going to say Citrinne/Lapis until their A support torpedo'd that. I guess Chloe/Merrin but I didn't see their A to see if that gets blown up like Citrinne/Lapis. Otherwise not much ship wise, from what I saw at least.

Yeah this is why I qualified with what I've seen, since I didn't use Panette at all beyond her introduction. Her design is really one of the ones that just stands out negatively for me and doesn't click.

maybe people also arent writing fanfics because you're way less likely to see the romantic a supports since unlike 3h where most had that energy here its fairly arbitrary. that said pretty much all of kagetsu's are extremely romantic, as are most of alfred's with guys. rosado/seadall also stood out to me. maybe this game is also the inverse of engage in that most of the homoerotic energy was saved for the men actually, with all due respect to felix and sylvain

Fixed growths in FE9 were so bad that I don't think i'll ever be able to accept them. Even if apparently Engage's implementation is better.

Augus posted:you’re right they should patch the timed reinforcements to be infinite and give 0 exp so that even the really depraved maniacs get the picture I think games should generally strive for effective solutions that are also fun. A player having to sit down and police whether they're enjoying themselves enough isn't the best experience. It is worse when, like in my case, I couldn't see a solution that was more obvious than what I was doing. And before someone wisecracks with "go faster" for the fifty billionth time, that is an option I looked at and that didn't work well. Firstly, because often the wave buildup behind me would be lethal when I needed actions to handle the boss and secondly because long term it would weaken my army by depriving them of experience. (I specifically did do this on the Ike paralogue because the reinforcements were impossibly overwhelming and the defensive position given is terrible) I think we're wrongly focused on reinforcements mechanically anyway. There are just a lot of enemies in Maddening and they all take a while to take down. I did not think that chipping them out with assist damage was very engaging, but there weren't other obvious ways of handling that volume of attacks. Others found handling them that way to be interesting. Natural 20 fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Feb 4, 2023 |

I did not think that chipping them out with assist damage was very engaging, but there weren't other obvious ways of handling that volume of attacks. Others found handling them that way to be interesting. I think it's just tuned *a bit* too much for me. Maddening has: Better AI, more enemies, higher stats. Any 2 of the 3 would be challenging, since even on hard the bosses are still challenging, but all 3 is just a lot. I'd prefer better ai and either higher stats or more enemies. I'd love being able to choose which of those I get, like Celeste difficulties with MADDENING being defined as all 3 or something? I went down to hard and other than the bosses it's not just not quite challenging enough. I do appreciate the corrupted wyrms not being an actual boss anymore though.

Endorph posted:i mean 200-some fanfics in the first couple weeks is a good amount its just that 3h was like a supernova event in terms of fanfic. i think it might be the video game with the most fanfic on ao3 period? If you count FF.net FFVII wins with 40k+17k from AO3. That's if not counting franchises (Pokemon and KH win massively then) and consider that those fics aren't majorly about the FFVII compilation. That said holy poo poo that's a big amount of fics for a single game. There's prob more 3H fics than the rest of the franchise combined.

Eh there's over 100k Fire Emblem fics on Ao3 alone. 3 Houses makes up a decent minority but its still only like 40%ish of the total. Awakening and Fates also have a ton.

I wasn't really willing to dump a lot of my characters for the likes of Lindon/Saphir to abuse it. It's really clever though.
