I mean, I get that they're reserves but you get FOUR Cavaliers and 3 Paladins
Actually, FE6 in general just throws way too many units of the same class at you, one prepromote and 2 unpromoted are enough for most classes(and I just got my 4th Archer, no thanks, Klain is doing fine). I'd like a prepromote General but I don't think there is one
You do get a prepromote general later. You get a prepromote in every class except Wyvern rider. (unless you could trial map units)
Took IS until FE8 to realise no one does Ironman Runs anymore when the number of units drastically decreased
I know plenty of people who do ironman runs.

Either way, more units = more choices/options. Having a ton of one type of unit to pick from doesn't really seem like a problem to me.

So in my rpg all characters and enemies are a certain element. There's 13 elements(but 1 is enemy exclusive)

Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Dark, Soul, Blood, Poison, Ice, Lightning, Energy and Neutral. Every element is strong against 2 and weak against 2 except for Neutral which has no weaknesses. Attacking an elemental weakness does 150% damage and no party member is Neutral element.

Fire- Water & Wind
Water- Lightning & Blood
Wind- Ice & Lightning
Earth- Water & Ice
Dark- Light & Soul
Light- Blood & Dark
Lightning- Earth & Energy
Ice- Fire & Energy
Energy- Dark & Fire
Poison- Earth & Light
Blood- Soul & Poison
Soul- Poison & Wind
Yeah some don't make sense but cut me some slack!
That reminds me of an element system I made based of the planets:

Attributes.jpg
Matchup Chart.jpg
Matchup Chart.jpg
Species.jpg

iirc, it was for a monster catching game idea.

Basically, species determine the zoology of the creatures, and you can combine two species for more unique subspecies. So for example:
Homonid+Anything gives it a human-like form. So Homonid+Fairy=Angels

And then each sign is like the typing or category. So an Angel under Saturn = Dark Angel for example.

Each sign has a Yin and a Yang, each one with two elements. And a creature can only learn techniques from that specific sign.

In addition, each star sign tends to have general properties and characteristics that pertain to it, outside from the two elements of each one.

On a general level, like the colors in MtG, the Signs each have different philosophies and concepts that pertain to each monster. Gaia for example is strong and nurturing. Mars is aggresive and reckless, etc... This also reflects in the general stat distributions. For example Gaia tends to have very strong Physical attackers, Mercury very Speedy monsters, Venus tends to use diversionary tactics and ailments to gain the upper hand, etc...

Sol
Special Sweepers, Burn Damage, Life-gain through self healing or healing allies. Can buff allies. Good resistance to Special attacks. Can cure ailments. Does best in longer battles.
+POW -STR
+RES -END

Luna
Very balanced and flexible fighters. Jacks of all trades. High INT, good planning, good foresight. Mind reading, mind control, and illusion. Strong special attacks. Excellent at setting up traps, and dealing with difficult situations.
+INT -STR
+RES


Mercury
Swiftness and Agility, Insane Speed, Evasiveness, good coordination and perception, flexible fighters on any field. Can Fly. Easy to raise. Can overwhelm slower foes with rapid successive attacks and greater speed.
+AGI -POW
+INT -STR

Venus
Status ailments, Attraction and seduction, powerful poisoning, confusion, debuffing, redirecting attacks, weakening foes in order to make them easier to kill. Can buff allies. Makes use of counters.
+LCK -END
+AGI -RES

Gaia
Physical sweepers, boasts good physical defense, second only to Jupiter, can terraform the field to suit to their advantage. Able to Poison foes, and cure allies. Good at binding foes. Boasts some of the most powerful physical fighters.
+STR -POW
+END -LCK

Mars
Stat buffing, and Raw Power. Hits hard, hits fast. Relentless destructive force. Aggressive physical fighters, poor coordination and planning, easy to confuse or corrupt.
+POW -RES
+STR -INT

Jupiter
The Protector. Specialists boasting the strongest defense and very lengthy casting times for powerful Special moves. Also known for their great luck.
+END -AGI
+LCK -STR
+POW

Saturn
Corruption, Instakill, Life-Sapping, Confusion, Evasiveness, underhanded tactics, Decay, bypass defenses etc. Bad luck, slow gains.
+RES -LCK
+AGI -INT

I never wrote one for Pluto, since I added that later, but the idea was frail, uses regen, and reanimation, and Ice techs.


I may wind up using this some day. I think I remember making a variant of this planet=element system for my Muse comic's magic system as well. Where each sign was essentially a Patron worshipped, and that's how you gained access to those attributes and techniques. etc...

You do actually get a prepromoted General named Douglas, you recruit him in 16x. He's actually decent for both a general and prepromoted unit. As a result he has good starting stats, but his growths are meh. All 30% except for HP which is 60%, luck is 20%, and resistance is 5%.

@Shishœ look at Karel's growths and his starting level, prepare to scream

Also, just got back from Assassin's Creed. I am truly amazed as Ubisoft did something I thought was impossible, never before have I only had a single thought when I was watching a movie. That thought of course, being "Meh". The ONLY time I didn't have this thought was when I accidentally bit my tongue when chewing popcorn

Is this what counts for journalism these days?
Like, I'd argue they had a fair point if they were arguing something like Ike shouldn't be there twice or something.

But this just comes off as "think my thoughts please."

if thats the case I hate the voting because Niles Leo and Jakob arent 1st, 2nd and 3rd

Also I have a legit issue as to why Ike and Marth are there twice

Well, Ike and Lyn are my fave FE characters, so I'm quite satisfied with the results. It's the 2016 election all over again, lol. Bring on the salt!!

I'm honestly surprised Lyn and Hector ended up being so high on the ranking. Not that I'm complaining.

From someone that hasn't voted for a single male character, I'm completely apathetic toward who gets picked

Oh, so you do get him
I checked the wiki and it said you need to have him alive by the end of 16 but he wasn't in the recruitments list so I thought he didn't join you

I already know about Karel
Not like I'm gonna use him because 91% crits feat. Rutger is all I need

I just hope that FemRobin stays in the top 10 at this point.

I know she can't win, but I'll take a December calendar. That's what number 10 for each gender gets, right. . .?

????

I mean, I'm not usually the kind of person to claim that someone's a newbie(I started with Awekening and Fates after all) but.... Has this guy played any FE games other than the new ones? Because Chrom's a much more boring choice.

To be fair, he is pretty bulky. Just don't bring magic near him or anyone who has a high critical rate near him.

I usually incapacitate him with sleep staves.

I've heard that apparently a popular strategy is to trap him in a room with Lalum since Douglas will never attack her or Elphin.

Edit: Either way, it's got nothing on Xavier's recruitment in FE5.

Question:

Would you play a Smash-like platform-fighting game that was more competitively built, but also had original characters instead of Nintendo characters?

Oh yeah, 3D btw, cause I know RoA is a thing.

Who himself was an Hector expy, except Ike worked, Chrom had his chance and fell flat on the groind because the game tries too much to make him look like he'a short tempered but makes him a noble and chivalry leader at the same time so he just ends up becoming a mess

Maybe not competitively, but yes I would. I'm a sucker for games that clone the gameplay of games I already love to play (I like to call them "unofficial sequels")

I already own a number of Smash clones.

Literally anyone, though personally, I'd vote Hector if I were you. Badass Axe user as a protagonist who's ****ing invincible

If with 3D, you purely mean graphics. And BrawlOut, while absolutely ****ed due to Paco, still exists. The Nintendo characters don't make the game, they're pretty much there for the sake of guaranteed sales. Think about it, what sounds more appealing: "Nintendo's experimental fighting game" or "Nintendo's experimental fighting game...WITH NINTENDO CHARACTERS"

With Ike winning, I feel like this is a perfect portrayal of what's going on:

Ehhhhhhh, I'd say that's not really the case. To me, here's what makes Chrom unique. He's a big goofball who has pies and ****, with Uncle Sam pics of him spread around the camps, etc.

Also, fun fact about me: Whenever I hear The Devoted, I imagine Ike riding a toy horse and wielding a squeaky hammer utterly decimating a huge ass army of knights, ninjas, dragons, wizards and more all by himself

Umm...did we play the same game?

They literally never even TRIED to make Chrom seem "short tempered." Unless you're talking about his "Now I'm angry" mid-fight line, which doesn't even fit as that since it's more of a heat-of-battle declaration than anything, I'm not sure where you got that. Beyond that the only time Chrom even really raged at anything was the Midmire map, but considering what'd transpired the chapter before, it was entirely justified. And even then it was more of a subdued rage, and not at all a fly-off-the-handle type of thing.


Chrom's whole thing was never to be short tempered, but instead just a nice guy who genuinely looks after his soldiers like family. He's the straightman in a ragtag group of misfits, while also being a powerhouse in combat. Temper was never an issue with him. That was never his character flaw; his flaw came from his over-reliance on intuition than anything else.

Uhh.

Yeah okay thanks.

Can I vote for Link? Is he an option?

He's got a sword- he should be an option. And he's got the fire rod and emblem shield. Clearly Link is a plausible option. I'm voting Link.

Fixed.

Because if we want to get technical, Nintendo's experimental fighting game would have Nintendo characters by default.....since Nintendo's the one making it. :p
