Well, you can't make the game too similar because you risk everyone accusing you of ripping off another one. But the turn-based SRPG games aren't really that rare. They're usually more like FFTactics though. The problem is finding good ones. Because if people can do whatever you can end up with Stella Glow and I can't think of any other ones from the 2010's.

Look, I know Days of Ruin was a change-up but it's still a good game even if it didn't have Lash or Sonja

also please don't tell me if it came out before 2010 i don't want to think about how long it's been since the last Advance wars

Besides Nohr likes to wear purple
We all know what purple means in FE.
And Hoshido wears red.
Again, we all know what that means

Hoshido is the bad guys and Nohr is uh

single-voting is easier for me cause i can't decide on 6 characters anyway so by the time i've clicked Hayato the other 5 are just randomly decided by clicking wildly

I'm glad that Mozu's probably getting benched. I'm still mourning Subaki, and Setsuna getting dropped is sad even if she's not too great as a unit.

Also, this is just BR Hard. It's kind of easy. BR Lunatic has some bite early on, but even that fades eventually. It's just a much easier route than CQ and RV.

Basically, this is our best bet to saddle Tae with a garbage team.

i hope mozu sees play on at least one path, she's a real cool girl

I haven't played Birthright but I would assume a lot of it is general bias against pre-promotes in Fire Emblem games.

for better or worse, this game will beat that out of you, the best units on both sides are all pre-premotes

Fates in its infinite wisdom gave us just enough husband/wife combos to where if Male Corrin marries one of them there won't be enough to get all the kids unless he marries a Corrinsexual. Apparently they didn't learn this lesson from Awakening I guess.

a subtle hint that getting the kids isn't worth it, top tier game design

Rinkah's dedication to gaining HP makes me think of my current run of Awakening where Kellam over the course of 20 level ups has always gotten speed, making him faster than Lucina. Sometimes the RNG just breaks, I guess.

that kind of random variance is an example of the RNG working perfectly fine tho

Yes, it's wrong because Locke actually has a character (and a semi-valid excuse to call himself a treasure hunter in that you actually see him spelunking, even if he is prone to mugging his enemies) and is a good guy, whereas Candace is just sort of there to be a bandit (no matter how hard she denies it- it'd help her case if she didn't use Insane Troll Logic to "justify" her actions) and is an enemy.

arthur is the best character in the game, and i can even conclusively say that having seen the utterly forgettable ones from birthright now

unless revelations introduces new characters, which i guess it should but probably won't

How can you say Arthur is the best when Effie is right here?

i remember Arthur's gimmick, and it's good as heck. also he has interesting supports and i like how he's basically Captain America working for the bad guys but still being virtuous.

Basically he's the only actual hint of nuance in this game, I let him marry whoops this might be spoilers and they have a good support chain

I just think he's funny because he has deliberately dumb lines with good VA, which kinda doesn't stand out in Awakening but kinda makes him top tier by default here. But yeah, for real though he isn't really very good at all, but every mage except Revelation Hayato and Leo aren't very good. Which is kinda hilarious.

My Leo was adequate at least, i wanted to use all the royals tho so I wasn't gonna bench him no matter what

I used Archer Mozu and while she was very good I think it's more interesting to show off characters we didn't see in Birthright so get rid of her

Bench Mozu, she's had her turn and Niles is the only archer you need.

I actually thought Conquest's dialogue is fun and shows off a lot more personality, and while the plot is kinda dumb at this point it was uh... forgivable. Sadly it steadily gets worse and worse until it just becomes plain dumb.

tbh i checked out when corin went up to garon and was just like "oh please love me again"

like there was no way to make that justified other then i guess the writers wanting an ultra-realistic look at kids with abusive parents, which i have the strangest feeling wasn't the actual intent
