Fire Emblem

I think it's been joked that Blade Lord Lyn is basically a dismounted Nomad Trooper.

I know she is closer to a Swordmaster, but yeah.

Lyn/Guy/Rath/Karel/Karla are all Sacaen, and Rath's the only one with a horse.

Hmm...I've never thought about this before.

In Lyn's case, perhaps she just rode Florina's pegasus everywhere?

Don't start with that. I have permanently attached yuri Shipping Goggles. I jump at the tiniest hint of Les Yay and I already think they're a great couple.

I think Karel and Karla come from a clan that prefers the way of the Swordmaster (that is, until Karel killed them all) and I think it is mentioned that Guy is going against the norm.

If it helps, FE6 has three Nomads (well, two Nomads and a Trooper)

I get the feeling all of the Lorca's horses were killed in the bandit attack. Lyn seems more proficient at fighting unhorsed anyway.

It's vaguely canon-ish, in a Revolutionary Girl Utena way. I mean, Florina straight tells Lyn she loves her at the end of Lyn's story, even if it was meant to be taken in a BFF way.

Can just say that I love the whole Great Plains Natives/Ainu hybrid thing the Sacaens have going on? 'Cause I love it to bits.

EEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

It's kind of implied in the same way that Raven x Lucius is implied, really.

I've always found it weird that Guy's title is "Mounted Swordsman"

I thought his title was Sword Saint. :?

It's both. His ending title is Mounted Swordsman, but the ending itself says he became known as Sword Saint (well, the phrasing they use is Saint of Swords, but whatever)

Nope that's Karel's.

And the ninjas step in.

And looking at his page on the FE Wiki, does Priscilla ever get a happy ending?

I think she does with Erk, due to him being Pent's apprentice.

Just the one.

Outside of her normal ending it's "And Priscilla cried and cried because her boyfriends all had to leave"

Priscilla has bad endings with every male she has endings with, except Erk (thanks to Erk's connection to Lord Pent).

The woes of being the adopted daughter of rich Etrurian nobles.

As I mentioned.

Guys, is it important at all to level Eliwood? Because he's 6. In comparison, Lyn's 13 and Hector basically just solo'd chapter 16.

If you don't want a fog chapter later on, yes. And because him dying is you know, a game over. And later in the game, you're going to have to deal with long range magic and ballista that will go directly for him.

This makes me sad. Oh well, his Royal Rapier moves are kinda cool I guess.

Also, I haven't gotten any support conversations. Aside from Eliwood and Hector's, which I assume is "Free". I must be doing it wrong.

-Pushes Lyn towards Floriana-

Kiiiiisssss heeeeerrrrr....

Eliwood and Hector have a really high support base and a decent support growth.

Lyn and Florina should happen within a turn for similar reasons.

At your point in the game, the fastest support outside of those two is probably Wil x Rebecca, which will require them to end their turn next to each other 17 times to hit C rank.

Isn't the "Lords' combined levels <50" version of Four-Fanged Offense only a fog chapter in Hector mode, though? I can't remember from experience...

Also if you're curious, here's support growth rates. http://serenesforest.net/fe7/support.htm

Note that two later characters start with A support; you get their conversations by having them talk on particular chapters.

, THANK you. Geez, I might have to waste more turns than I thought...

And I'm pairing Rebecca up with Lowen :P I knew that was possible because she's on the main page of the Fire Emblem wiki! THE MORE YOU KNOW.

I think we have just two or three guys who vote on those things. I try not to vote unless it's a tiebreaker by the end of the month.

I am not sure what point I was making.

The difference between FFO <50 for Eliwood and Hector is that Hector mode makes Lloyd really aggressive and has a Light Brand instead of a Silver Sword.

It's Fog of War regardless.

I think that counted as Techno Babble.
