Social "Time to Tip the Scales!" - Robin Social Thread

Panne and Yarne have never impressed me terribly, but Yarne does get my second-favorite crit quote of all time.

"No, you go extinct!"

 

[Chapter Serf]

How worth it are the Spot Pass characters? Like the ones from the other games and such?

Pros and Cons of Marrying Nowi:
+ Most adorable wife
+ Nah jokes
+ Manakete Morgan
+ Good support conversations
- 5-10 years in prison

Not remotely. Other Avatars from StreetPass, however, can be quite fun from time to time.

I object on the grounds that he has yet to sing-a.
About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a.

I can handle on my own, but thanks.

 

[Célja]

Get Rektcalibured.

 

[Rikter]

That is honestly the main reason I never liked Micaiah unable to double for like the entire game. That and all the other things to make her oh so unique and everything felt so forced. Then again I disliked the entire Dawn Brigade chapters for the characters you had to use aside from Nolan and Jill.

 

[Hong]

That Thani tho.

Loved that spell for one-shotting stuff.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Aside from gameplay department, wuite a shame how Micaiah fell pretty much on shambels with the story and character relatability department (from what I've heard)- I really like her design.

They could have really used fixing and stitching her up to at least feel as natural as the lords before her.

 

[Hong]

I liked that you had a non-lord lord, as with Ike and the heroes of Gaiden.

But woooooooow she really has nothing going for her in terms of personality.

Wonder how Robin would fit into that...

 

[Rikter]

But Robin could double attack. That obviously makes up for all of the blatant over forcing of the character.

 

[Hong]

Pretty sure Robin only displays a realistic example of strategy maybe once in Awakening with the whole bootleg Fire Emblem thing. Like, do the writers really think it's not silly for Robin to somehow be so convinced that Flavia can throw an axe a billion kilometres into the air with not only so much precision to hit a target, but be guaranteed to incapacitate them? Barring in-game tactics (which are so ridiculous in Awakening, with its vastly de-emphasized positioning), Robin actually seems to be a horrible Tactician given all the examples where Robin displays tactical ability, it's so ridiculous and written in like half-an-hour.

That aside, Robin basically:
Conquered two continents
Is branded
Could in theory descend from Goldoans, much like the Manakete could descend from Goldoans
Defaults as the rightful heir of Plegia
History is... very complicated, with different outcomes. Still knows nothing about their mother and stuff, which is kind of sad.
Is the Avatar of a God.
Can't read minds, but can "see things" others can't
See the future? Robin has lived it.
Can have any hair colour s/he wants basically
Nothing on the magic bird thing
No canon romantic pairing, but is seemingly irresistible to everyone. Can bang the descendant of Soren's possible lover.

Robin annihilates both of them in terms of power. Can literally destroy the world in her or his sleep.

But Robin could double attack. That obviously makes up for all of the blatant over forcing of the character.

And then everyone tells Robin how good s/he is at double attacking!

Wow Robin!

You are so incredible at double attacking! You're a natural at this!

Ah. This fact takes me back to the times where we'd have discussions over Robin's chances of getting in, etc, etc. Good times, good times.

Soren turned into a girl and married Ike? That explains why Ike wasn't interested in anyone else, not even Elincia.

Figured I'd join in on the picture stuff.

While out of the current context, I'd still give the nod towards MIcaiah and a number of other lords over Roy.

You forget, Robin's faith in others is his true power. His faith gives others strength to do things that would otherwise be impossible. That, or Flavia is just a really good shot.

And I'm pretty sure Robin has his moments, like turning the Shepherds' own ship into a bomb that destroyed an ENTIRE enemy fleet, or turn his fellow Shepherds into meat shields while Tiki does....whatever it is she does

 

[Hong]

At the time, my avatar was:

Get it? "Watching over Robins?"

... Whatever.

Also Diablo, the Lord of Evil, VS Ganon, the King of Evil, would be interesting. Neither could kill each other, though I suppose ol' Dibbles would "win" in the sense he can just imprison him and walk away, since his imprisonment spells, while not as hard to dispel, are faster. Eventually Ganny would break free assuming he is stronger than the Nephalem, though.

Don't worry Hongy-senpai I think your current avatar is amazing.

Nah, she's not .

You don't even get the Patrick Star Boo GIF.

smh.

 

[Drakonis]

Also Diablo, the Lord of Evil,(...)

Weeell, technicly... *puts on nerd glasses*
Diablo is the lord of terror, not of all evil. And Bhaal has him quite handily beat on the power part ever since he escaped Taal Rasha's tomb and shed his mortal coil.
Unless you're going for the Diablo 3 version. Which is more like an amalgomation of all the great evils, so that hardly counts.
And the only terryfying thing about that was that it didn't know when to shut up. Really undermined the fear factor when all I hear is "OH I DIDN'T NEED THAT DEMON LORD FOR MY PLANS ANYWAYS, I'LL KEEP WAITING HERE AND SAY THIS A COUPLE OF MORE TIMES WHILE YOU SLAY ALL THE VITAL PARTS OF MY ARMY!"

Wow, that got surprsingly ranty. And I like Diablo 3. Bottom line, Diablo is a lot more intimidating when "Not even death can save you from me!" or even "laem yreve retfa hteet ruoy hsurb dna selbategev ruoy tea!" is the only thing he says.
Of course, Diablo still looks pretty dang rad in all his incarnations. So that avatar gets a

from me!

On a different note, I also did some more work on this:

Ah. That's cute :3.

Hm, no wonder I didn't know who is was. I have never played any of the Diablo games. He does look cool though . I guess now.....

IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!!!!

BWHAHAHAHAHA. Oh, I can't stop cry! How does that work?!

I'd wager Virion could very well be the one in Flavia's place at that moment, but I suppose IntSys thought Flavia was a better choice, for some reason, because Virion could have been disabled via being "killed" in gameplay (Virion can't be killed because he's plot important at some point, even if it's pretty minor imo, but like all the mothers, he won't be playable anymore, as he is wounded.not that it matters. archers arent very good in awakening) at that point. Still kinda stupid, because any archer npc could take his place. I'd say IntSys just wanted to make Flavia and Basilio more important in that mission.
It's for that reason that I think the bad writing is to blame in this and other cases. At least, in game universe and canonically, people say Robin is extremely talented for war tactics, even if most of the examples weren't really good, so...

Spoiler

I did like that thing he did with the fire emblem and Basilio's "death" and the flaming ships, though.

I suppose Robin doesn't give much tips on strategies during actual game parts because they wanted to keep his pseudo-semi-avatar identity, but I'll always call BS on that.

oO Oh my, so making your OC with FE:A sprites has become a thing now?
Bleh, I'm too lazy right now for that. Maybe later.
