On one hand, large stretches of nothing sounds awful.

But that could provide an interesting region.
I think there is enough Russian culture and history, and unique architenture they could fit into a region.

Including a harsh "Siberia" section

Also, imagine a region with a shown military

That section between Mt. Coronet and Snowpoint City (anyone who's played Gen IV...you know where I'm talking about....) was basically Siberia anyway. :p

I'm not into boxing, but Muhammad Ali is a name I've heard of too often. Something I'll always remember him for is that he was told "We don't serve *plural of N word* here" and he replied "And I don't eat em, now get me a hotdog"

In the movie "That Last Dinosaur"

They say a T-Rex moves at 3-4 miles per hour

When I take walks in the park, I walk faster than that

Well, a T-Rex could not have been running TOO fast. It only stands on two legs, so it falls more easily than, say, an elephant, and such a large body falling to the ground could actually kill the Rex quite easily. Falling down was probably a common cause of death for the large, bipedal dinosaurs.

One simple trip, and it's entire ribcage could break open.

Should I get Conquest or Birthright? I haven't decided yet...
I really don't like how My Castle in Conquest looks like a desert but I guess I like the dark theme of the characters more. Also this would be my first FE game.

If say I buy Birthright can I set Conquest music for My Castle? I love this.

I don't think you can, alas. But since this is going to be your first FE game, I'd recommend Birthright so you can get used to the basic controls fast and nicely.

You can't use the Conquest music in My Castle in Birthright, unfortunately.

As for which one to get, people generally suggest Birthright if it's your first FE game and that's what I did (I have the Special Edition but I started with Birthright). I've definitely been enjoying it and it's still perfectly challenging on Lunatic Classic. It's also generally agreed Birthright has the best story of the three games.

If you want more of a challenge and a more unorthodox plot though (Birthright's story is good but it's pretty typical), then go with Conquest.

Thx all. It sucks I can't have that music..
But if it has the best story I've gotta have that one then :)

Yeah, play BR if it's your first, Conquest will kick your ass even on Normal so it's recommended to do that after having some experience with other games
But Conquest's My Castle doesn't look like a desert, out of the three style options, the closest one is the Chevois Castle
Birthright has a desert one, which is the Wind Tribe Castle(and one of the best designs, map wise imo, I love the canyon with the bridges in the middle)

Also, you technically can listen to Conquest music in BR but that would require you to own both in the same cartridge and finish Conquest

As someone who's played every FE game but 5 and just watched through THAT.

Conquest will shove your face into the ground and say "Chew!" on normal in a "blind" run.

That makes me curious, actually...

What about Revelations? Shouldn't that one be the hardest of them all, considering it came out later than the other ones?

I like to think Conquest is the person that throws you in the ground, beats you up, says you're a worthless piece of **** and that no one loves you but you still enjoy all of it
Don't judge me

Nope.
For three major reasons.

A) Free Grinding. Even without Awakening's broken level resetting with Second Seals, being able to strengthen characters at YOUR pace makes it far easier.
B) Royals. Ryoma, Xander, Takumi, and Leo are all gods on the battlefield without argument.
C) There's really one map that sticks out in my head of being difficult due to raw design and not the units you have available so far, and it's because of two reasons: It splits your team up instead of one legion, and I rushed it a fair bit because I didn't have a real balanced plan to handle reinforcements. I basically face tanked this in Casual. But I had to reset plentifully enough just to CLEAR some maps in Conquest on Nor/Cal.
The Map in question is the fight against Sumeragi; because of the "transporters" and having to branch out to activate the seals.

It's funny because Pac-Man had the upper hand for almost the entire fight, but all it took was for Pac-Man to be hit by the very thing he's weak to.:laugh:

The only planetary feats Pac got going for him is tanking a planet's explosion in Adventures in Time and defeating Spooky. Not really convinced that King Galaxian is planet sized since I still own the game to this day and the size differences are too close to other building sizes bosses.

Not to mention he's only faster than light when using the Space Surfboard (which base form Kirby is equally fast when he can fight any of the knights from his series, Meta and Galacta included).

I was kind of sad with Pac-Man's performance. All of his moves were just pulled from Smash while Kirby had a lot more unique references/ power up. It seems the person who made it was really familiar with Kirby and just used Smash Pac-Man as a crutch.

I'm honestly really tempted to skip saving Effie and Arthur.

They were literally a corner space away from each other. Just out of range of some Wyvern Riders. Ryoma/Rinkah Replica and Takumi/Robin were keeping the endless Malig Knights that come from the bottom of the map at bay, being ready to one round them right at their spawn point. Hinoka was keeping the Dark Knights that spawn from the top right of the map trapped in a hallway they spawn in. She doesn't one round them, but she is completely invincible to them even when they do a Dual Attack so she's fine. Everyone else is just sort of hovering near Effie and Arthur, mainly so I can have them ready to slaughter the Wyvern Riders on my next turn, particularly Marth and Lucina since Falchion/Parallel Falchion are effective against dragons, and Wyvern Riders count as dragons. Oh, and since a good amount of IRL time passed since my last play session, the time of day in My Castle changed, meaning Scarlet took over the kitchen from Reina, meaning I could actually get some meal buffs for everyone. This makes the earlier part go by smoother and quicker. Also gave Lucina a HP Tonic so she could be more aggressive.

Everything is set up perfectly for Arthur and Effie to rendezvous, and I assume they would retreat after that.

So what happens on the Ally Phase?

Despite there being no Wyvern Riders within the path between them (which was a literal corner space), they decided to WALK AWAY FROM EACH OTHER, engage the Wyvern Riders, that they are WEAK TO, said Wyvern Riders happen to be on adjacent spaces so they counter with a Dual Attack, which kills Effie and Arthur in two separate fights.

Also that was the first time they ever engaged a fight in all my attempts. Normally they run away.

That's not difficulty, that's terrible design at this point. Like what do you even get for saving them?

Yeah, that was rather grating.
If they were going to use Pac-Man as in Smash, should have gone with Smash Kirby as well.

Didn't really enjoy it that much.

You can edit in a spoiler tag, you know...it's still right out in the open for other people to see.
Done.

Now I owe someone eggs within the next few minutes. She's gets rather cranky if they aren't done right.

I don't watch Death Battle and One-Minute Melee anymore.

Death Battle has gotten way too ridiculous and makes too many stretches these days. Plus I don't have much interest in the characters they have been choosing lately. And too many people take their word as law too.

One-Minute Melee is cool as a concept, but they just don't pick good match-ups that often that use the characters in any interesting way. The only ones that I liked were Link VS Sora, and Samus VS Mega Man, because they are thematically interesting match-ups, and I liked how they handled them (won't say what that means because spoilers). Plus the Link VS Sora one was actually surprisingly accurate, more than most Death Battles.

I just hope they never do one with Rosalina or I will get a headache. Both from watching the thing itself, and for all of the people who will tag me or message me with it or something.
