Garon is probably my favorite character in the game, because while nobody is really well written, at least Garon is so clearly having fun being a cartoonishly huge rear end in a top hat.

His happy portrait is also a goddamn treasure.

I don't know why this sticks with me, but for some reason Saizo saying "MY NAME IS SAIZO" is a fully voiced line, and something about the VA's inflection on it makes it sound like he's working a tech support phone line and he's really grouchy.

Also I didn't know the thing about the reinforcements not immediately moving, even on harder difficulties. That's fantastic because that's probably the most bullshit mechanic in the series.

This probably also would have made for a perfectly fine thread title.

Izana is my favorite character in this whole dang game (WHAT'S UP?) and I wish the rest of the cast had half the personality he did in his very minor appearances. He's like if Jack McBrayer was the Pope.

The required A Rank bullshit is the one thing I'm really glad I was spoiled on for Fates before it happened. But even when it did happen, I was playing with a friend, and neither of us were ready for the sheer amount of stupid that happens in this sequence. I'd figured Kaze would take a hit from Iago or Garon or something, but no, it is a random rear end crystal magic land mine.

Fates is a hell of a thing sometimes.

My absolute favorite part of Flora's idiotic death scene is Jakob yelling "SOMEONE GET SOME WATER" while everyone involved is standing in the middle of a snowstorm, next to a giant lake.

Also the way she stands ABSOLUTELY STILL the entire time.

Stuff like this is why I hope the "Avatar can marry EVERYONE" thing gets dropped from FE15. Or they could just drop the player avatar thing entirely, but after Awakening I really doubt that's happening.

(Although how much people love Robin VS how much they hate Corrin is always cathartic.)

Funke's portrait is amazing. I love that he just has that rose to pose with at all times for some reason.

I love the way the Stoneborn look, but they're just the worst to fight. More Ballista-likes? How'd you know it was my birthday, Fates?

I love the turrets and magic shooters set up in the middle of the roads in Nohr's capital, just pointing at the street to make it easier to slaughter people taking a stroll.

Before I played Fates and I saw Entrap I thought "Oh, that's kind of funny, it's like a reverse Rescue, that's a clever idea."

After this map I never want to see that drat thing again.

I think The Room Of Infinite gently caress You Lunge Ninjas is probably the most memorable thing about Conquest, at least on a gameplay level.

I just realized that Takumi running with Point-Blank on this route was probably the horrifying foreshadowing the world needed for what would become his reign of Close Counter terror in Heroes.

I think we can all agree a better late game map would have been an escort map where you have to kill off such distractions as waiters, mailmen, and brightly colored objects while making sure Garon finally walks across a long hallway to that loving magic chair.

I know that everyone's fixated on the Staff Savant skill but I think we're all missing the bigger cheat here, namely that Sorcerers can't use staves.

He's just moved here from the DS games, it's perfectly legal there.

The whole "Nobody can talk about Valla outside of Valla or they explode" is, IMO, the funniest part of Revelation's batshit insane "reveals".

Well, the ceremony I performed always requires something in return. Every message has a price, and the cost of this one was my life. I'd really like it if a bard wrote a nice song about my noble sacrifice...
Oh, Prince Takumi...I know I asked before, but... Make sure you help out Corrine, OK?
But...I...
What, you're still not willing? I'm dying here, and you're still unsure?




Whoever wrote Izana's scenes really should have just done the whole game, this dude rules.

This whole situation feels like the result of the devs going "Hey it's Awakening, you love Awakening, right? It's like your favorite characters and mechanics from AWAKENING!" and slipping on the world's biggest banana peel.
