I've actually played the remake, and it is pretty fun. I will agree that it seemed like the Avatar wasn't as implemented as well as they were in Fire Emblem: Awakening and Fire Emblem Fates, but I didn't really have a problem with them, and I rather liked the beginning chapters focusing on the 7th Platoon.

Still, I'm glad they had the Avatar system in the game, since it would pave way for the other playable Avatars, both characters I really liked.

So, I've been wondering if the Hot Spring has any actual gameplay purpose other than making my Avatar an Accidental Pervert. Every time I've gone in there, I've encountered a female character and gotten chased out.

So why was Effie such a muscle freak or whatever it's called in the English dub? I saw the Japanese version of the Treehouse stuff and she barely mentions her muscles or even working out at all.

[up][up]The biggest draw of the Hot Springs is that, once you grow it to Level 3, you can recruit Izana in Birthright and Conquest, or Fuga in Revelation. Other than that, no other gameplay purpose other than just seeing characters interact with each other.

Fun fact: if your Avatar is married and their spouse happens to be in the Hot Springs when your Avatar walks in, they won't run out of the Hot Springs.

[up]That's probably a question best answered by the people behind the localization.

I heard she was really different in the Japanese version.

Ehh... sorta? Her supports are mostly unchanged, it's just the deeper voice and battle quotes that were changed so she's less demure and more into training and muscles

Ah, I see.

On another note, am I the only one who thinks the generic unit portraits in this game are way too cool-looking to be just random units? I capture some and use them just because I like their designs.

I'm actually basing future Fire Emblem OCs off of the captured units I've found so I can imagine personalities for these units I'm way to devoted to training.

The unit designs and portraits are very well designed and put together.

I don't think Effie's changed as much as people make her out to be. And I can get why she'd be less sweet and fluffy when she's, y'know, fighting.

I think most people's issues are her supports make her seem more like a Dumb Jock when in the Japanese version she was drastically different.

Also: The Contralto Of Danger Effie's got going on is way too deep. Like, I legit thought that was a case of Cross-Dressing Voices and that she was voiced by a dude until I found out she's voiced by Marisha Ray (Oboro and Mikoto) and I'm like "what"

I don't mind Effie changing a bit, but they should have gone whole hog and made one of her voice clips "Do you even lift?!"

I just caught a Wyvern Rider named Wolfgang.

I like how you use "caught" like it's Pokemon. tongue

I never bothered catching any generics. I like capturing the bosses though.

I love catching bosses, and I recently started catching more generics because I like their portaits.

Or if they have a skill that puts them above other generics. -stares at the Rallyman I never successfully captured-

Speaking of Wolf-related things, the implementation of the Wolfguard in FE12 was also rather strange. The recruitment chain was clever, but making them inexplicably all weaker than their own Mooks, who will, naturally, try to cut them to pieces as soon as they defect, just seemed like Fake Difficulty to me.

So...

Guess which idiot is still playing Awakening and trying to beat Apotheosis?

This idiot.

Finally got back to it.

Lot one person on the second part due to a stupid move.

Lost more people on the third part with the archers due to those damned archers having counter (I should have Mired them as quickly as possible, but I didn't, choosing to focus on the Tricksters instead, and that cost me).

I got to the fourth part, took out the Falcon knights to reduce the healing, and only had one mage to take out, but he kept living, and had really low health, so he was able to activate Vengeance and wipe out anyone who got close to him.

Eventually I let Chrom get a bit too close to the action and he died.

So I suck. I think I know how to do better. I'm so close.

It's a few days until my birthday (and my Avatar's). I want to put this game away as a present to myself, since I have no money to buy ANY games I wanted at all.

Maybe, one day I'll catch up to the rest of you and actually start Fates as well.

I captured a Great Knight with Sol, Def+2 and Luna called Reinhard. Although I guess Benny could do the job just as well, there was just something interesting about this guy.

It's a shame his generic portrait still shows him in red armour.

So how does everybody think an Elibe remake(s) would go? A discussion on the FE Reddit made me think about this. The Tactician would likely be playable, for one.

I'm guessing that was on Hard mode?

I want to do a hard playthrough in the future to net me some nice catches.

[up][up][up]I still really hope FE15 has both male and female generics in each class in the opposing armies.

[up][up]Depending on how it's handled, it'd be pretty interesting if the two games were folded into one longer go in the style of Genealogy.

Yeah, Hard Mode.

When scouting, you have to be pretty careful. They love to throw out advantage weapons like beastslayers, swordcatchers or dual naginatas, hence you've got to carefully examine what's coming.

So on the subject of the Awakening, going through the script, Gangrel is actually not motivated by the previous war at all contrary to popular belief, his true motive was to unite against Valm.

RE Konk Fan 7: I love the captured units too, I'm even raising regular generics for the heck of it. I wish the bosses at least got more lines, though.

RE Hamburger Time: Oftentimes on the Lunatic difficulty, recruitable units are recognized for how much weaker they are to the books around. Take Astram, and his significantly more powerful Mook underlings. As for an Elibe remake, FE 6 definitely gets changed the most both in terms of plot, and gameplay.

RE Ekimmak: The portrait for generic units often isn't accurate, especially after promotion. Most oddly generic outlaws sudden wear their hoods down after conversion.

Kind of a shame. My favourite thing about Disgaea, a very different turn-based SRPG, was making a huge army of generic units. Finding out that the generics I capture were just an afterthought... kind of a letdown.

It's a very new process to Fire Emblem, is why, and restricted to two characters in the game.

Makes me wonder, can Orochi and Niles support each other? I benched both in my Revs run.
