Really, though. Some Robin Social exhibition matches could be cool. Doesn't need to be streamed or anything; just need to have the replay recorded or something. Also, I think since we mostly all play Robin, it would be cool to have non-Robin matches like @ LIQUID12A LIQUID12A suggested so we have variety. Robin mirrors to see who has the rights to a colour palette could be funny, though.

It was. You're welcome. :happysheep:

I ship Lissa/Maribelle and Lon'qu/Maribelle (those convos are hilarious).

I need to get more DLC. I haven't gotten any in forever.

Also, Awakening is my first and only FE game. Anyone have recommendations? (I only have a Wii U and 3DS.)
I liked FE7 and liking Path of Radiance quite a lot.
I think there's a version for FE7 3DS.
Path of Radiance is only for GC, though, I think.
can't say anything, because I'm using emulators for all the older FE games

Sorry, Robin Social thread, but I must bid farewell. For now.

I need to cut off Gangrel's manhood. And feed it to the goats. And then offer him in bloody sacrifice with a screaming cacophony of 1,001 Damned Souls. And then rip his soul from the deepest pits of the 666th Hell and condemn him to an 666 Eternities of Torment by forcing him to watch the Nyancat. And nothing else.

And that's only what I'm going to do to him.

His *****?

You don't want to know...
Only look at this spoiler if you want to:cheep:
Gangrel comes back pretty much alive at endgame as a spotpass chracter you can recruit. He turns out to not be that much of a jerk and is even funny sometimes.

Gangrel's an unrepentant, revel-in-his-evilness jerk, but is it wrong that I'm kind of amused by him for that? He's a terrible person, but he's a fun character. In terms of the major villains, I prefer him to the others.

Thanks.
Also,
Gangrel also seems a bit depressed and even suicidal. I mean, in the aforementioned Spotpass level, for example, he attacks you at close range even though he has a Levin Sword. You have to talk to him three times on three separate turns to convince him to not only stay alive, but join you.

I do need to get used to these controls more, and I honestly think that playing All-stars or Smash run isn't helping too much.
For Glory can be a bit jerky too, sometimes.

Do you mean like those grade-school crushes where the boy annoys the girl and the girl pretends to be annoyed?
Who's pretending?
What is the average chance of reviving an ancient god upon a sacrifice? Statistically speaking.
Roughly a 30% chance, but it uses the Lunatic+ RNG.

Gotta get used to Arcfire landing in a weird angle. I never seem to hit with it properly arrrgh.

Yeah, I hated Gangrel at first as well for what he did but as I get to know him more, he grew up to be one of my favourite villains. Also, he is super funny.
I mean have you read his hot spring conversation with Aversa XD

There's FE7 (and Sacred Stones in non-American territories) on the Wii U eShop. I would recommend Radiant Dawn, but it's really expensive online. Here's to hoping they'll port it to Wii U like the other Wii games!

I wouldn't mind fighting some of you guys and gals here. Just lemme know when you want to clash!

I liked Gangrel because I was so happy that Emmeryn would finally stop talking.

I'm sorry.

That said, chapter 10 was still emotional.

See, this is why I want my goddamn Wii U already. My recorder is sitting in it's box doing nothing. :sadsheep:

I'll second FE7. It's not hard to grasp and get into, and it's just plain good. I still need to beat it. I think I was at Chapter 21.

I also want to try Sacred Stones and Path of Radiance eventually (and Radiant Dawn, but not until after PoR and I've heard RD hard as heck).

Hmmm, I am a 3DS only peasant so if you wouldn't mind that...we could play sometimes.

Holy **** it is. When I bought it it was like $20, but that was a year or more ago.

I can't recommend buying the Tellius games at their current prices. But I still endorse playing them. Wink.

And I suppose I'll fight too, if you all don't mind an incredibly anticlimactic battle and have someone else to record it. 3DS FC is up. I'll add Wii U later. Now it's there too, but I'm nowhere near the Wii U right now.

thank god I wasn't the only one
I actually never cared much for Emm, not even when she
"died"
It could be because the game didn't show much of her at that point enough for me to like her as a character, imo.
I only started to like her a bit more
after you can recruit her. and that's more because I felt bad for her, Lissa and Chrom. All the "..." in dialogues did become a bit annoying at some point, but I still felt that neither she, neither her siblings deserved that

I'll always recommend Sacred Stones for anyone who is coming from Awakening. Out of all the international games, it is the most like Awakening, and has an awesome soundtrack when you get past the limitations of the GBA hardware. A world map with optional battles and sidequests, and a level of difficulty more in-line with what you are familiar with.

In my horribly jaded opinion, Path of Radiance is the best you can get, but you know.

I didn't have strong feelings for Emmeryn as a character (and I totally called her dying), but her death made me emotional more for what Chrom and Lissa had to go through, since I did care for them a lot. It didn't help that he and Robin S-Supported after that chapter... Awkward. Not to mention Robin having to deal with her strategy failing to the point of not only Emmeryn dying, but all those Pegasus Knights. Maybe it's how I characterize Robin in my head- if someone dies in battle, she takes it personally in my headcanon.

Actually, the death that surprised me more was Phila. I thought she'd be recruitable later.

Gangrel was honestly a better character when he was a tortured man who turned into a murderous sociopathic monster, and was ultimately killed by the thing he set out to destroy.

Making him sympathetic sort of ruins him IMO.

She was on a slippery slope when I first got to see her. Felt kind of like an upperclassman in some anime and it was way too unrealistic to see how highly everyone regarded her, but I could appreciate that she expressed accurate historical knowledge to back up her station and at least make her position as a diplomat believable.

I was mostly neutral until her execution, where was basically like "Oh, my noble, selfless, righteous sacrifice has had no impact on anyone! Woe is me!" It might not have been the intent, but at times it sounded like she was praising herself and grasping for a moral high ground. True sacrifice is when you expect nothing in return.

I agree with @ Shaymikyu Shaymikyu that I felt for Lissa and Chrom, though.

Damn, good point. I just remembered her. Called her biting it, but I was still kind of hopeful right up until she got shanked.

I'm aware the moment was supposed to be sad...but I really didn't begin feeling for Emmeryn until Don't Speak Her Name started playing. The only times video games have broken me like that, the music played a very big part.

Nintendo should sell Path of Radiance on the 3DS eShop. It's barely more than an N64 game in terms of hardware requirements. It is above an N64 game in graphic quality, which is not a big deal considering graphics processing is the strength of the 3DS given its cost.

I liked Phila. I, too, thought she would be recruitable.
Actually, I kinda expectec Phila and Mustafa to become spotpass characters, seeing as they had revived guys like Gangrel, that at first would be undoubtely hated.
But no:054:

I agree with @ Shaymikyu Shaymikyu that I felt for Lissa and Chrom, though.
The roots of my problems with Emm comes from the fact that her personality is too flawless.
She is too unreastically good.
She doesn't feel like a human to me. They should've just made her a Goddess, like Naga. You can't relate to her in any way, and some could go as far as to call her a "Mary-Sue".
Robin for example is an all around good guy, but he has flaws in his personality, his insecurity outside of battle for example is a glaring one. and he can be kind of a troll sometimes. Ricken's B support comes to mind.

I am not a terrible person for playing these games in a emulator, right?

I thought Phila might be Spotpass, but I didn't know about Mustafa. On one hand, he was very sympathetic and I'd have loved for him to have a happy ending. On the other hand, unless he divorced his wife or this was an alternate Mustafa like Yen'fay, he'd break the everyone can marry Robin rule.

I'm insanely happy that Flavia and Basilio can be recruited, though. I adored most of their dialogue. Shame they can't support non-Robin people romantically. I'd love to marry Basilio to Olivia or Sumia or some other softer girl.

and yes, I'm still salty they don't let you do that.:sadsheep:
That would be one heck of a couple, and their child would kick asses.

If we could marry them to each other, I'd do that even over what I mentioned earlier. They were practically made for each other.

I'm glad I found those Tellius games when I did, and I was barely lucky with Path of Radiance as it was the only copy that I encountered around these parts. 0_0

Hmmm, I am a 3DS only peasant so if you wouldn't mind that...we could play sometimes.

XD Ah, it's been ages since I played the 3DS version, but I wouldn't mind giving it a go. Just... uh, give me time to familiarize with the cramped controls again. :p

I actually was interested in PoR back when it was first shown in Nintendo Power. To this day, I am kicking myself for not seeking it out.

Who do you feel more sorry for:


Guy who does terrible, unforgivable things but

survives the well-deserved beating you give him and becomes a peasant until/unless you recruit him

or

Capturee.PNG


Guy who almost destroys the entire universe but is legitimately sad when his plans go up in smoke(literally) and watches said plan crumble in anguish and to (awesome)poignant music, but lives.

Just gathering opinions.
