Path of Radiance for Gamecube is also really good and leads into Radiant Dawn for Wii which has a very legit difficulty. Awakening couldn't hold my attention at all, the grinding+ shipping tropes were a turnoff. i haven't tried fates but i'm kind of interested in the weirdness of this new one

i never finished fates but it's better for sure

that th one where staves can miss? thats some real bullshit

yeah there's a miss chance based on skill i think? it's actually good in some weird cases because it doesn't use the staff but still raises weapon rank based on staff level. also sometimes you double-use staves which is super annoying

status staves always work if the user's magic is better than the target and the status lasts all map so if you get hit by sleep you can pretty much get hosed unless you brought a restore

also hit is limited to 1 - 99% but the rng is totally hosed up so you can get hit like 4 times in a row at 1%

oh and horse guys have to dismount inside which means they have to use swords so you don't have any lance users on castle maps, it's loving stupid

also stats cap at 20 post-promotion too so everyone who doesn't completely suck poo poo ends up with maxed out speed and will still get hit by things because max 60 evade is poo poo

never played it, sorry :(



you might have known this, but in most FE games, the displayed accuracy % is a lie. the game actually rolls twice and takes the average of the rolls when calculating hit chance, which means that an 80% hit chance is actually a (1 - 0.2^2 = ) 96% hit chance, and a 1% hit chance is actually a 0.01% hit chance. this is because human intuition is really bad about probability.

anyway, sounds like this game doesn't do that? what a weird thing to take out

they started doing that right after thracia lol
