Archers were equally buffed and nerfed like everything else. They gained both weaknesses and strengths. Also now they reallly REALLY demolish Pegasus Knights, since they use lances.



And honestly if you don't have something by your archer to assist them to begin with, you're using the archer wrong. :laugh:
Additionally, Pegasus Knights also got a few buffs with that triangle change. While it is true that bows now do a number on them, they now have a complete advantage over magic (especially wind) since stat-wise and triangle-wise, they have a leg up on them. The trade-off was that they don't like bows all that much. Wyverns (or their counterparts here) also got a similar buff and nerf. They are now much better physically due to their better defense and neutrality on bows while they suffer more against magic.

So overall, it's doesn't seem to be a change that has given a clear advantage to one class, they all got their sets of buffs and nerfs that they'll have to adjust to.

You know what I love about FG ? Using the opponents mind and use it to win. Especially with Little Mac. Thanks to his bad reputation of being an ancient "OP character", people despise him, just like in his games. Using this makes a lot of people underestimate the little boxer, thus throwing their game off when they are in a disadvantage.

"Think like the ennemy" never had that much sense here.

I'm bored by the way.

Has a Fire Emblem game ever used old-timey guns? That might work, I don't know for sure though. Maybe maces or clubs could work.

Not counting ballistias, guns were never introduced in Fire Emblem.

Modern FE is also known as Advance Wars. :p

I know about Advance Wars. Which is why I was wondering about old guns, like a Blunderbuss. If they already used Ballistics, then it shouldn't be too far out there right?

What year are the FE games on? The blunderbuss was invented in the 17th century, and are they even situated in the real world? I mean, there's magic and pegasus....

With all the changes in If, 3rd tier class promotions from PoR/RD should make a come back.

Not sure, it seems to be just some fantasy land. I'm trying to think of another long ranged fighting style that could be introduced without being too jarring. But I can see why older-style guns would still be a bit too out there, given the setting.

Jugdral had weapon fixing and Gaiden didn't have durability.

Obviously, IS is introducing methods of balancing for the lack of durability.
I only say that i dislike it cause I've never played Gaiden so I'm not used it. I'm still getting the game and will play the **** out of it.

Never heard of the Hatbox Ghost? :p People should google things. It's a neat bit of Disneyland lore. :D
Googled it. It is an animatronic in Disney's Haunted Mansion ride whose head vanishes and appears inside a hatbox. It appeared in the ride's debut, but was removed due to outside lightning ruining the effect (the ghost's head is illuminated by dark light, however the light from outside made it visible). It was readded May, 9, and now works properly. This is for you curious people who don't want to look it up. :yoshi2:

Forty six years he was gone. Now he's finally back and I couldn't be happier.

I have a hard time playing FE for one reason only: I can't stand losing partners and restart everytime someone dies.

I feel a lot more happy and willing to help out of a sudden. I think it's because I did well in my Biology test, or maybe it's just this new avi filling my heart with happiness... :yoshi2:

Phoenix mode looks horrible. It's like playing a Dark Souls game where you revive 10 seconds after dying without losing anything. What's the point?:yoshi64:

I feel as though Phoenix mode only exists to make people feel less bad about picking Casual. :laugh:

In Phoenix mode, downed allies revive the following turn.
So, no challenge at all in the game. :yoshi64:

Just watch IS removing Classic Mode in FE15, only keeping Casual Mode and Phoenix Mode. :p
No, but Casual Mode is already too easy, Phoenix Mode will make it a breeze. And yes, I know I can play it on Classic.

Would the new Fire Emblem game make sense if I have never played any other Fire Emblem?
