And yet, I still enjoyed it. I've played through it three or four times now?
Wait, what? Since when? Maybe Xander and Ryoma during their introduction, but as they aren't really even close to being untouchable, there's definitely been more powerful units in other FE games.
I'd say Ryoma is pretty near untouchable, even on Lunatic. The solution to practically every problem Birthright throws at you is to just throw Ryoma at it and watch him mop up. Giving a unit like that a 2-range weapon was pretty needless, in my opinion. Xander is a decent tank with his huge def growth and personal weapon, but loses out due to his speed issues - he sure doesn't count as untouchable, if nearly everything can land a hit on him.
Though I agree that there are better overall units in other games, like Seth and Sigurd, but they also have other factors like availability over Ryoma or Xander.)
Minior is found near the Electric trial.
Oh yeah, I was thinking of Ryoma in Birthright though, I was thinking Ryoma in Revalations, since Birthright is so easy TBH, that it's not that hard for a unit to seem unstoppable. Not to say that Ryoma and Xander aren't great units, but they aren't broken, especially not to the point of breaking the whole game.I'd say Ryoma is pretty near untouchable, even on Lunatic.

I still preferred Birthright the most out of the three, though, personally. It was the most polished of them, I felt, and had something akin to difficulty scaling as you progress, while the other two are all over the place.
(finally, a discussion I can actually join in on!
Sorry to hear that, man. My condolences. *hugs*
Pikachu, in all honesty. Especially outside of any fandom when it comes to normal, everyday people. I just think pikachu is more popular to the point where even some random very casual soccer Mom can have AT LEAST a vague familiarity of what Pikachu is, even if not by name. Goku I'd say is more celebrated and popular within his own fandom than Pikachu is in its own fandom.(Which makes sense because with hundreds of pokemon that are loved by all different kinds of people, a lot of people are bound to greatly prefer something over Pikachu.)So here's an interesting question:
Which of these two would you say is the more iconic/recognizable/popular character, and why?

For me, it's Pikachu. Pokémon is just a lot more visible in popular media than Dragon Ball. Even someone who has never seen an anime or never played a game likely has a vague idea of Pikachu (or at least that he's a Pokémon.) Also helps that Pokémon spans a lot more forms of media - anime (which has a worldwide audience), manga, console games and mobile games (Pokémon GO is even in countries which never saw the anime, like Nigeria).So here's an interesting question:

Do you have a Jigglypuff?
Pikachu hands down, Pokemon is so popular now those days that even people who know jack **** about Pokemon will tell you they know Pikachu.So here's an interesting question:
Which of these two would you say is the more iconic/recognizable/popular character, and why?
Without a shadow of a doubt, Pikachu. In the US anyway, not only is Pikachu leaps and bounds beyond Goku in terms of recognizability, but Pokémon as a whole is leaps and bounds more well known than Dragon Ball is.So here's an interesting question:

IT HAS A LONELY NATURE
Nah, I would definitely still argue Goku is hands down the most popular and iconic anime character to date. Everyone in the world knows who Goku is, plus he's got a massive legacy, and is an incredibly recognizable character. The Dragonball franchise probably has had more games that Pokemon in fact. It also has two collectible card games, AR games, merchandize, a currently running anime series, tons of films, and hundreds of millions of fans.
Well, to be fair, how WOULD you make a balloon of Goku? But I suppose that's a fair point.Without a shadow of a doubt, Pikachu. In the US anyway, not only is Pikachu leaps and bounds beyond Goku in terms of recognizability, but Pokémon as a whole is leaps and bounds more well known than Dragon Ball is.
Honestly it's not even a contest here. After all, only one of these two had a balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this year, and for the past fifteen years.
Pikachu because Dragonball is still considered niche if we're considering all around the worldSo here's an interesting question:

I think my ranking would be pretty much the same, although I don't dislike the last one that much
I think the issue between the two of them is consistency in cultural presence.
I mean, the Power Rangers have a balloon, so humanoid characters aren't really hard.

Dragon Ball/DBZ was popular in its ninteties heyday here, but has dropped off immensely since then. The thing with Pokémon and Pikachu in particular is that it never dropped off. It's been marketed so aggressively that its popularity never died out. Waned? Yes. Died out? No. Outside of anime/manga/video game fans, which are a small minority of the GA, DBZ and Goku are, from my experience, solely remembered by guys born in the nineties who grew up watching Toonami...and that in itself is a small subset of the population.

I mean, there's no doubt Goku is pretty popular and well known. But Pikachu? You have to keep in mind that he's the face of a global trend and craze, that reached to people who'd otherwise never really touch any games or anime. It spawned a lot of merchandise and sales that last to this day, it reaches out to the VERY general and broad mainstream to the point where you have had people bringing it up in the news and politics because it was so 'hip'. After all "Leeeets Pokemon GO to the polls!" : ^ )
I don't but I believe I got a Igglybuff
Hey, mine is Lonely too
