My main gripe with Revelations was that especially when it got to later units like Laslow and Odin, they didn't feel up to where the game was at the point where it was, especially when you have characters like Ryoma, Xander, and Leo introduced fully promoted (not to mention with good weapons to, but that's a duh), and then you have Odin here at Lv.12 Dark Mage and me being the lazy bum I am didn't want to go through so much effort to have to train him in order to use him. (Overshadowed, that's the word I'm trying to think of duh, I'm dumb.)

 

Ophelia's fun tho, agreed. I'm so happy she inherited her father's antics for theatrics (but maybe that's because I find it annoying yet endearing at the same time.)

Yeah tbh I feel like magic users throughout have been pretty nerfed in Fates, think I only used the royals magic users in my story playthrough plus Nyx but she was hella fragile and did not see much action. Sakura with shining bow wrecks everything though lol

 

And my fav children personality wise were definitely Soleil and Nina haha ;P

I haven't tried Shining Bow Sakura yet, probably will later tho ha, considering I do like my magic weapons. Maybe it was because I ended using stuff like Bolt Naginata and Flame Shuriken way more tho.

 

I didn't like Soleil that much, but maybe that's because I didn't like her father that much either and association got to me. I liked Dwyer and Asugi however, for what reasons I have no idea lol. Nina was hella funny to read tho.

Yeah tbh I find most magic weps pretty useless unless they're already a base magic user since the damage is always gonna be less then if you're using normal weps or fighting generals lol. Even for my Camilla, her bolt axe was hardly ever use and I just changed her to a Wyvern Lord post game since it gives better STR and SPD.

 

Ahh okay, I also like Mitama cuz of the way she speaks in poem lmfao. Who would you say is your fav character in the game?

Mitama is a fun one, I really enjoyed how her and Dwyer kept bickering back and forth lol.

 

I can see why some people would think that the mag weapons aren't that good, it's probably because I just really enjoy hitting people at 1-2 range because I don't want to use Javelins and Hand Axes. Wyvern Lord Camilla sounds boss, I have got to try that.

 

Hmmm, if I had to pick some fav character in Fates, ignoring obvious husbando bias, I'd probably say Leo or Felicia. Hbu?

Yeah you can't double with ranged weps anymore so magic weps is a good alterantive I guess.

 

I'm always partial to comical characters haha so anyone who has a weird/funny archtype I love like Arthur, Setsuna, Izana etc xD

For me and comical characters, I'm mixed and I don't really know why. Like I dislike Arthur and Setsuna but I really like Izana and Azama.

Ahh okay, tbh I can't say I really dislike anyone in the cast, at most just neutral feelings. I like them waay more then Awakening though, found most of Awakening's cast pretty bland >.<

I actually like Awakening's cast more, but maybe that's because that was the game that got me into FE in the first place.

Fair enough, my first FE game was FE7 on GBA. To be fair, I never really got any of the children in Awakening so have missed out on them but from the base characters can't say anyone really stood out for me, maybe just Maribelle cuz of her snobbish princess demeanor

That's fair, I only liked Maribelle (and well, most of the cast) because I took the time to grind out almost everybody's supports up to A as well as obtaining the children, hence why I'm so biased towards Odin (via Owain). First impressions really do stick for quite a while tho I admit, I used to have the same opinion of Maribelle you had.

Have you played the Fates DLC that shows how Odin, Selena and Laslow came to be in Fates?

Haven't played it, but I have read some spoilers and the like of it, but nothing comprehensive at all.

It's not bad, gives some more insight into the final boss but yeah nothing too substantial so you're not missing out on too much.

Oh good save a little money then

Because we all know that I'm gonna splurge the moment FE15 comes out and become broke once more

They'll probably be at least a few years away haha, I wish they'd release all the DLC from Japan first and maybe even some challenge maps, all of my units are 20/20 and I'm just grinding eternal seals for no reason really just to cap stats

Apotheosis when IS, gotta put my dodgetank Ryoma to the test lol

low key wouldn't mind if they got rid of the children in the next games. they were nice is awakening and okay in fates but they're not a necessity and if i have to recruit 13+ extra characters that i know i'll hardly use in every game henceforth then i'm gonna be really salty.

Ikr right, like they can be cute and all, but to go through the additional time and effort to train them up to speed, sometimes you're just like "no". Still did it anyways because I'm a scrub and married Owain darn it 

[blazeaire]

I don't mind the children and you're not forced to use them if you don't want to (besides Chrom's) and extra characters is never a bad thing imo and they balanced them more in Fates anyway so they're not all OP like in Awakening so they're even more optional 

 

Plus we all know shipping is a big part of FE fandom anyway

Actually, I'm curious. Since I only know 2 games in the whole series, how many other games had pairs in them and were they different?

In terms of children only Fates and Awakening had them plus an earlier game in the 90s, other games you can S rank characters too but they'd just recieve extra bonuses when they're near each other (pairing up was also introduced in Awakening)

For me and comical characters, I'm mixed and I don't really know why. Like I dislike Arthur and Setsuna but I really like Izana and Azama.

 

I'm actually the opposite, I like Arthur and Setsuna but Izana gives me a headache and Azama is too mean for me, though he can be funny in his convo's with someone who can sass him back lol.

 

I've made my opinion on children in FE known in this thread before, but yeah, I hope they don't come back, I didn't mind it in Awakening but in Fates it was so ham-fisted and stupid how they shoved the children in the story, like, I don't use them anyway cause so many unit so late just overwhelm me, but introducing concepts like that in the game kinda drag it down for me story wise, like if they have a reason to include them that's fine though I do hope they move away from it, I mean, considering the popularity of the kids I know it might not happen but eh~
