Yes, for levels this big, in-map saves should always be there.

Or Mila's Turnwheel. drat, is that one of the most amazing things to come out of Echoes.

As usual in Fire Emblem, character names can change fairly significantly in translation in order to try and communicate an idea better.

My personal Fates favourite is 'Zero' becoming 'Niles', as in 'nihil'.

Wait, I thought it was supposed to be 'Niles' as in 'Nil'.

Oh, just realized I forgot a few child characters. I won't spoil any we haven't seen, but...

Eng -> Jap
Kana -> Kanna
Forrest -> Foleo
Asugi -> (This one's kind of confusing. My sources say it should probably be Gurei, but that romanizes out to Grey. Gurei is also an anagram of Gaius's original Japanese name, Guire.)
Midori -> Midoriko
Kiragi -> Kisaragi (Fun fact: When I saw that name, the first character who came to mind was Jin Kisaragi from Blazblue who is... not like Kiragi in any way, shape or form.)
Percy -> Lutz

why didnt they name him usagi

probably because that's primarily a girl's name (not that boys can't be named Usagi, it's just less common. Like guys being named Bridget.)

I always just used Kaden as a Peg Knight-like role. He's got the speed, skill and resistance of one.

*Raises glass of wine* To randomness! And to FE Switch being way better than this piece of poo poo!

Someone stick a fork in me, I'm done.

And the worst part is that I have officially lost all faith in the possibility of FE Switch being a good game because of Fates. Congrats, IS.

Echoes is good though

Yes, this is true, but it's a remake of an existing game with an established plot. It also wasn't perfect. Still good. Just not enough to raise my hopes for FE Switch.

Dwyer is even funnier if you have a mother with black hair, because then he ends up looking EXACTLY like L from Death Note.
