Didn't think I'd be dragged into a battle immediately after Chapter 5 and couldn't save, but thankfully, Restore Points on the WiiU are a thing. 5x was actually pretty enjoyable though, even with just four units. Loved the music in that chapter as well.
You still go to the save screen, just not the back to the map.
There are other chapters that do this, except without the army swap
Also, Orson is better than Seth, he just can't get any exp in that one chapter and it takes a long time for him to get back
I like how the music changes to a pretty heroic tone once there is only one enemy unit left
All the GBA games do that, I find it a pretty nice touch but it's not something I ever missed in other games
I'm curious, what's everyone's opinions of Ephraim and Eirika as characters? In a scale of 1-10, 1 being Corrin/Roy-level of unlikable to 10 being Hector/Ike-level of awesome, where would you rank them?
Eirika is a 6, nothing special but I don't get annoyed by her as much as others. She's also a Myrmidon, effectivelly, and I love those, specially ones that have a Prf weapon that deals effective damage against horses and armor
Ephraim gets a 4 from me, ironically, I dislike him more than Eirika: one for the fact that he... really doesn't have anything going for him other than being reckless(though I do like how that trait of his is shown to be a flaw later on. Eirika has some growth during the game even if she does do pretty stupid stuff) and the second being that he can trivialize his entire route just hecause of HOW GOOD he is.
I mean, Lords are supposed to be good but not supposed to solo the entire game. Yeah yeah, Seth is in this game too but you have the choice of not using him while Ephraim is forced to be in every chapter if you choose his route.
He's also the source of all the incestous implications between the two in the game.
