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

[Syrek]

To be honest, I'd prefer to wait until I get to learn more about both sides before I make a decision.

Though if I were to make a choice right now, I'd probably go with the side with Marx. As much as I like the Japanese style with the Lobster Lord, I can't get too interested of FE in the Feudal Japan style. (Even if they have some cute waifu's)

Like I said though, I'd like to learn more about them.

I'm with Delta Fist in regards to waiting until we learn more about both sides before making a decision as to which side I would prefer/join.

I mean, if I had to choose right now, I'd probably go for Lobster Lord simply because I'm a huge Japanese geek and I love Japanese culture. Although, for all I know, Lobster Lord could be a Lobster Doucebag for all I know. Therefore, I'll wait and see until I make a final decision on which side I'm rooting for.

I mean, Lobster Lord looks cool and all, but you can't compete with a man as fabulous as him.

Both sides have their own reasonably reason for being at war with each other
Having an ultimate villain is nice and all, but I can only take so much (mostly) black and white morality

I won't set my expectations too high, though, mostly because the chances are that the monsters must be someone's blame, but it would be extremely appreciated. You could at least see the PoV of each side without going all "This country is evilz and must be defeated to save the world".
It add tons to replay value, as well.

This thread gains so many pages, that's why I carry my Levin Sword!

Aversa's by a mile. My units tend to be OP enough that a mirror match is terrifying enough, but it's basically an escort mission for Aversa, too.

All the remaining paralogues are easy peasy.

In that regard I feel Priam's harder, on Aversa's I simply let Dual Guard and pairing bonuses do their magic, that and Forged Braves and Gales, it's funny that for my Robin isn't even the most broken unit or the better, don't get me wrong he is great but I find her daughters WAY more powerful, in this case Severa and Morgan, they both have more stats in almost every category and can do the same as Robin, I sometimes use this really risky ability set up: Arm, Galeforce, Counter, Vantage and one on these two Sol for a safer thank or Vengance to nuke anything, you can lose still but these alone don't need much help even without pairings to go even further you can make both Severa and Morgan Sorcerers with Nosferatu or Aversa's

Both are simple enough.

Aversa's chapter is simple if you use the bare-minimum amount of units and don't give the enemy anything too easy to work with. Archers, Dark Mages, and fragile units in general. Let the AI copy units they don't know how to use, but don't let your fragile units engage their counterparts: The AI will take disadvantageous engagements if that's the only thing they can do. The only thing you need to worry about is making sure Aversa reaches herself.

Priam's chapter has more at threat of the two. One of the simple rules of engagement are at play here: Engage the enemy afar, you can retreat to engage the enemy multiple times. Engage the enemy at home, you have nowhere to retreat, and your home will fall to ruin. Those that approach an opponent in wait are always at a disadvantage. In Fire Emblem terms, it means you'll probably need to have your units standing in range of only so many units at a time. Take on three, back up, take up three more, etc.

You'll have three to four possible areas of contention where the enemy approaches, depending on how you position your units, The central ruins are the most important feature of this map, and the tactician who holds it is at a great advantage. Ideally, your best tank (say, a Nosferatu tanker) can hold those ruins for as long as possible; more than anything, you just don't want to lose this ground, allowing you to govern the pace of the chapter.

The left flank should be contested with highly mobile units, like fliers. Should they be at a losing battle, you'll have a good turn or two to retreat and return if need be; the AI will probably go after who ever is in the ruins if you move out of range. As for the right side, the biggest complication here is without a doubt Counter. The enemy will approach in either one or two clusters depending on how you position your units. I think it is strategically superior if you have the majority of your highest ranged damage dealers functioning in the eastern side of the map, so you can destroy multiple enemies without having to afford ground.

I know you didn't ask for a strategic breakdown, though I genuinely felt neither was much challenge on Lunatic.

Thank you, I know these aren't exactly hard levels but if I had to pick the hardest of these 2 where my choices, your strategy is actually efficient but to be honest I prefer to defeat the clones in an "even" battle, as I said above I had an easy time just with dual bonuses + Dual Guard, the AI simply can't have those benefits and Aversa I only use rescue if she becames remotely close to the enemy.

On Priam's my way to play it is exactly controlling the ruins as you said Nosferatu tanks can come in handy here, I demolished most of the army at Future DLC 2 with a Sorcerer Morgan paired with her sister.

To be honest I have never recruited both Aversa or Priam just because I like to play those paralogues, so I never save after beating them.

And in case anyone is wondering why I pair sisters the simple answer is that none of Lucina, Cynthia, Severa or Morgan are married... I know the benefits, but I can't figure out pairings that I am happy with in the children generation on the parent gen it's always Chrom x Sumia, Robin x Cordelia and Gaius x Nowi.

Yes I am one of those few people that is not all right with marrying his best friend child from the future even if I am well aware it is just a game, and in a female Robin play she stays single...


@ Shaymikyu thank you very much for answering, I am not really sure if I have much to add that I hadn't said above, pairing are a powerful tool but rally teams can be devastating too!

 

[Elezir]

Anyway, I'm sure some of you alreayd know, but Bandai Namco is opening rights to some of it's older games to other (japanese for now) companies.

Not sure how much advice I can give on second gen pairings since my main run was female Robin and yours is male, but here are the ones I did on my first run:
*Morgan x Cynthia- my overall FE OTP.
*Laurent x Lucina- pretty sweet.
*Yarne x Severa- okay, I guess.
*Owain x Kjelle- I really liked it for some reason.
*Gerome x Nah- HILARIOUS, plus an awesome epilogue.
*Inigo x Noire- pretty amusing as well.

I have them planned for my other two runs, but haven't had the chance to go through with the pairings yet. Morgan x Lucina is SUPER sweet, however.

This. In awakening there were a lot of black and white villains. I mean sure Gangrel was sorry for what he did afterwards if you recruit him and Walhart was an extreme "end justifies the means" type of person, but Grima was just pure evil and wanted to destroy everything.

[Shaymikyu]

I'd rather see both sides be gray as well. Honestly, I'd be shocked if they fully vilified either. I could see the "Roman" side being the "bad" side if that emperor guy truly is the father of Marx, but even then, I don't see them vilifying all of the Roman side's forces.

Someone already tagged me with this - and I thought it'd be an April Fools' Joke. Seems like it ain't. (But I'm not holding my breath, I mean... it has even Pac-Man, what's their idea behind this?)

Imagine Nintendo or other companies trying some of these out - heck, what if we'd get Kid Icarus x Adventure of Valkyrie-crossover. Tower of Druaga re-imagined via Zelda-style or even by Square Enix would be rad as well.

Honestly now that you make me think I am kind of odd, I prefer for the children to have their natural hair color so some of my pairings in the parent gen only revolves around that and the inherance of Counter or Galeforce, so I pair Lisa and Vaike, Maribelle x Libra, Tharja x Donnel, Sully x Kellam, exceptions being Cynthia, Severa and Nah that simply can't inherent anything close to their mothers hair.

The children not mentioned are ones that I am still unsure, to be clear I have more that 600hrs in just my Lunatic file I just can't make my mind for all the pairings.

Then on second gen, I want to make this clear I like most of the males because of their personalities (except Gerome I am not too fond on the batman aura they give him) I simply don't see some of them fitting as husband for the females design wise.


So in all my plays I always pair the same every single time. At this point I can't think of Chrom marring another female but Sumia no matter if (f)Robin is more interesting storywise or Robin not married with Cordelia I simply find their beach dlc conversation one of the best in the game!

I am not a fan of male Morgan ( I find him too similar to Henry face wise) but his support with Nah isn't that bad

@~ Valkyrie ~ Can I ask you where did you get that Lucina gif? it is a video or just that image thank you!

Well, I think it's unlikely it's an April Fool's Joke, as the source is legit. Unless it's Namco's joke, and that would be jerkassness on their part.

Well, they must be under some kind of financial difficult or something like that to do it, as I know they really like their IP's. It also means they weren't planning on touching these IP's anymore (like Nintendo is doing with Mother) so decided to just let other companies use these and get some benefict from it, as opposed to just let it rot somewhere like megaman.
I'm interested in seeing how these will be used, of course, but I'm not all "OHMYGOSH" about it, either.

I went in mostly blind, so I wasn't aiming for any specific hair color, though some have really grown on me like Ricken!Nah.

And isn't Ricken kind of a redhead (for Severa)? Or since you married Robin to Cordelia, if you aren't dead set on him being white-haired, then make him a redhead.

I did Chrom/Robin on my first run, and then Chrom/Sumia on my male run. I enjoyed them both in their own ways. I think I slightly prefer Morgan and Lucina as siblings, but Cynthia as Pega Pony Princess is AMAZING. Plus, Sumia is my favorite female first gen character.

And yes, the Beach DLC conversation with Robin and Cordelia is adorable. Even with female Robin, it's super shippy.

Male Morgan seems hit or miss with people. I find him adorable, but I get why some find him bland. Female Morgan is HILARIOUS, though.

Considering ShiftyLook and it's fascinating run...yeah.

I do wonder what just it is they are going with all this, since most of the game series here have been well, arcade classics at best. None had any re-imagination more than some animated adaptations (with varying degree of success, but not enough to be remarkable or getting outersea releases). I guess it's sweet that they really don't want them to stay in dormancy due being pretty much iconic to their history and to a lot old-school people, but after ShiftyLook marketing via somewhat interesting but overridden with cringe-inducing things (wapanese and leet speak and somewhat average animations, but mostly nice-looking comics with varying art styles and contributing artists), I think there's more needed here if they wish to see these having any new light in the day.


Pac-Man though on the mix, that is even stranger. Though even if he's also the one driving around representing the arcade classics via Namco Roulette...

 

[RadiantTactician]

I don't really pair up the second generation much, outside of Lucina X Inigo. Their supports give me all sorts of feels

Male Morgan seems hit or miss with people. I find him adorable, but I get why some find him bland. Female Morgan is HILARIOUS, though.

Well the first time I played I also went blind, Chrom x Sumia happened because Intelligent System "told me" they should be a couple, Robin x Cordelia just happened the first time (my only mod to Robin appart for his name was his hair to brown so my Severa is brown haired) I refer to him as simply Robin because of Smash, the game simply put the default name on it proper place, so I prefer to refer to him or her as Robin rather than MU or avatar, it's like not calling Link Link because you can give him another name in my eyes.

Well Ricken and Gaius are both "redhead" but not the Cordelia redhead kind so since my accidental pairing with Cordelia grew on my and Severa has no real way to get a red hair (aside for red haired Robin) then I convince myself that Severa's brown hair match really well with her outfit.

I also really liked when Cynthia makes Chrom call her Pega Pony Princess, plus her sibling conv with Lucina really fits Cynthia's personallity.

Sumia is one of my favs too.

You are right with male Morgan, I simply don't like his face design, and he seems to be oddly tall compared to his young looking face, on the other hand I really like female Morgan design in particular I find really funny the Nah and (f)Morgan support

My pairings all happened accidentally too aside from some closer to the end. It was kind of fun that way. And brown-haired Severa is cute- I married Cordelia to Kellam on my first run, and that color looks good on her. Blue-haired Robin leads to my favorite Severa, however.

True, true. Severa has BRIGHT red hair in her official art.

True, plus there's the Harvest Scramble convo! Even when they aren't siblings, Lucina practically talks to Cynthia like a little sister.

And Sumia is adorable. I want to possibly do a male run with Robin/Sumia some day.

I'm the opposite. I prefer male Morgan's design, though female Morgan's common fan art design is PRECIOUS. Plus, again, she's hilarious.

I think Sumia takes more hate than she deserves as a character honestly, people find her support with Chrom boring, I don't see it that way, for me when you sacrifice your money, energy and time for the person you love, you are showing him or her how much you care, so for me it much more that just pies it's not because of the pies it's because of the time and devotion she shows for the one she loves I don't blame Chrom for falling for her.

Well every people have different opinions and taste, so I guess we both have a Morgan that we prefer

Well, my only problem with ChromxSumia's support is their S-support that I find to be rather...lacking.
but it can be fixed via getting Chrom and Sumia to A support before chapter 11, and then just waiting to get the incredible sweet and better confession they give to each other at the end of the chapter. It even has a bonus scene!
If you achieve S-support before that, you won't get that scene.

Same goes for , if you wish to marry her and Chrom, but her B and A supports with him are pretty...bleh. Even had more chemistry going with his Chrom support I already mentioned it, but when I did their support I half expected chrom to confess at the end.

But yeah, I prefer Sumia as his spouse. Olivia has some incredible cute supports with him, though, too bad you don't even get those if you actually marry the two (other than the fact the whole thing doesn't even make sense)

Well, I've never played as a male blue-haired Robin. I Streetpassed someone like that, though.

And yeah, poor Sumia. I feel like any character who's a borderline canon love interest of another, especially in a game like Awakening where you get options, will always be a target for hate. Even if I disliked Chrom/Sumia, I wouldn't take it out on her.

And Olivia in the scene where Lucina calls her "mother" is the most precious thing in the world.

I kind of agree that chapter 11 confession is better but I don't mind S support at all.

I haven't seen (f)Robin X Chrom support and all I know is that he sees her naked, blame the internet for that so I am not sure how that develops.

But aside that I always marry Chrom to Sumia, I find Chrom's and Olivia's to be really really funny. I also find really funny the C support between Kellam and Olivia, the poor guy nobody notices him

@ Shaymikyu you are right about the hate, it is so undeserverd, shipping wars are actually one of my less favorite things in everymedia. Awakening is a game when you make couples but I don't mind or push my personal picks on others. But I am a fan of canons.

For example I don't ship Palutena x Pit or any other character because in the entery game developer never actually made anyone a couple and the NES ending is non canon...

If you want to know and doesn't plan on doing it yourself, see it here.

Spoiler

Honestly, I'd say the only thing worth on that ship is M!Morgan having a sibling. I think Lucina and Morgan as siblings is really sweet to see, plus some minor but interesting changes on story dialogues, but that's about it.
Though F!Robin and Chrom's confession to each other at the end of chapter 11 is only second to Sumia's. (because it has no bonus scene) It's very well written and thoughtful, and makes me question why the hell their supports are so bad, imo.
Olivia is adorable, period.

 

[Pazzo.]

I'd rather none of them being complete dochebags. Because, c'mon, lets have some gray morality here
Both sides have their own reasonably reason for being at war with each other
Having an ultimate villain is nice and all, but I can only take so much (mostly) black and white morality

I won't set my expectations too high, though, mostly because the chances are that the monsters must be someone's blame, but it would be extremely appreciated. You could at least see the PoV of each side without going all "This country is evilz and must be defeated to save the world".
It add tons to replay value, as well.

I whole-heartedly agree.

I also hope that we don't have to choose which side we join right out of the gate. I want each side to present themselves before I pledge my life, liberty, and sacred honor.

Honestly, I'd say the only thing worth on that ship is M!Morgan having a sibling. I think Lucina and Morgan as siblings is really sweet to see, plus some minor but interesting changes on story dialogues, but that's about it.
Though F!Robin and Chrom's confession to each other at the end of chapter 11 is only second to Sumia's. (because it has no bonus scene) It's very well written and thoughtful, and makes me question why the hell their supports are so bad, imo.
Olivia is adorable, period.

Well I started a Lunatic+ play as female Robin so I am not sure if I will marry her or if I am going to be able to survive so I am skipping the support for the moment.

It's a bit hard to keep up with this thread when I finish writting something I have to reply again, this thread goes so fast with the post, the Palutena thread is so slow compared, it's not a complain in anyway, it's just new to me

Morgan and Lucina are so heartwarming as siblings, plus you get awesome blue-haired Morgan and that cute line when Chrom recruits him where he gets all protective of his son. And then you get that already heartbreaking scene with Lucina and Robin and it gets even MORE heartbreaking. That scene actually made me tear up a little the first time I went through it.

I agree that their supports are lame though. I wouldn't have minded them as some side thing like in the Scrambles, but as the support between the lead male and female? Heck, their Summer Scramble conversation is way sweeter. I wish that was more like what their supports were like. I still enjoy the pairing overall, though. Although, if we're going by supports alone, I prefer Libra or Yarne for female Robin, though I haven't seen all of her supports yet.

 

[Pazzo.]

I paired Robin and Panne on my first playthrough. Yarne as Robin's son was awesome.

More April Fool's jokes here.
It's mainly about animes and games, and worth checking out. Some of these are pretty funny

If I'd have to choose one, I'd pick Stahl. I liked their supports quite a bit.
Won't go into 2nd genration area, though. :v I think it's just...weird.

Taguel Morgan is awesome. Shame s/he doesn't get the ears, though.

HA. YES. A new Ninetendo direct today! I am so pump! I can wait-

Stupid time difference.

This one?

As far as I know, most people have already called it fake.

Hm yes, I though it might be a fake.

Yah.

Tis fake.

Though so. It just does look so fake.

I know your pain, Unknown Hero.

Soon, soon... I'm getting XC3D on release or the day after, but I've heard it's a huge game, so even then I might still have to avoid spoiler content for a while. And I plan on doing as many side things as possible and not rushing through the story.

I unfortunately have to wait a little long that you ;-;

You two do realize you could just listen to the music and not be watching the video, right? All the music in the video is music you've heard from Smash Bros. so there's no spoilers in terms of music, just a portion of the video content. Honestly, it's worth a listen given how good it is, even if you haven't played the game yet. Just don't be tempted to watch the latter half of the video and you'll be golden.

Oh. I though it was one of those things were people talk in it as well as play the game. That is what I was worried about.

That's what I would do personally. As I already explained to @ The Merc and @AirshBornely, listening to the orchestrated pieces of music is WORTH IT! Just don't watch the latter half of the video and you'll be fine. But, if you want to go cold turkey and not be tempted, I understand if you don't want to watch it given that you want to experience the game to it's fullest. I can't fault you for that. I'm very pleased to hear that the soundtrack is steadily becoming your favourite video game soundtrack. The exact same thing happened to me when I listened to most of the soundtrack. And yes, it's a huge game, like 60 hours or so if you JUST focus on the main story. If you don't then easily 100 hours or more. I would definitely explore all the side quests because they generally give you lots of needed experience and awesome equipment that you can't obtain elsewhere.

Well then, I better go bookmark it then.

Oh...you really need to play other FE games.
Libra and Soren aren't nothing compared to say, Reyson and Lucius.
Soren is the mild case there, really.

Yeah, I really do need to play some more FE games

Don't worry, my brother in Xenoblade naivete. Once I have emerged from the long trek from start to finish, I shall keep the details of my fantastic journey hidden behind a curtain of secrecy known as a spoiler tag so you may remain blissfully oblivious to the secrets of the experience known as Xenoblade Chronicles.

And if you really think about it, all this over a Mario in gold paint is kind of silly.

Breaking news; ahead of today’s scheduled Nintendo Direct, Yusuke Kozaki–the official artist for Fire Emblem Awakening and Fire Emblem if–has tweeted plans of a new Fire Emblem Awakening sidestory.

Dubbed “Fire Emblem Awakening Gaiden: MARS” (“gaiden” is Japanese for “sidestory”), the story takes place on the planet Mars in the distant future. For reference, Intelligent Systems once had plans to have a Fire Emblem game on Mars.

According to the story blurb, Chrom travels to Mars by means of an Outrealm Gate; his adventure begins with a campaign to rout the bandits of Olympus Mons.

Due to the involvement of an Outrealm Gate and since we’ve already got Fire Emblem if on the 3DS and Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem on the Wii U, perhaps this sidestory is not a fully fledged title and DLC for Awakening or if. Or maybe it’s not even a game…

If it's an April Fools joke, it's too realistic to be funny. If it's not an April Fools joke, the timing is poor.

Even if I just pass this as an April Fools...

Captain Chrom: Space Traveler.

Unfortunately, it's obviously an April Fool's, as the tag in the article gives it away instantly, even if the obvious fanart wasn't enough ;p /captain obvious and fun destroyer

But heck if I wouldn't buy that just to have some lulz.

I'd be quite intrigued how it'd even go like aside from the "set premise".

Here in Europe it's already the first April sooooo..I should really go to bed now, it's like 2am here and I am not tired. I guess I will count some sheeps

You don't name your blue haired Robin "Chrom"? because that would trick lots of people


I think Sumia takes more hate than she deserves as a character honestly, people find her support with Chrom boring, I don't see it that way, for me when you sacrifice your money, energy and time for the person you love, you are showing him or her how much you care, so for me it much more that just pies it's not because of the pies it's because of the time and devotion she shows for the one she loves I don't blame Chrom for falling for her.

Well every people have different opinions and taste, so I guess we both have a Morgan that we prefer

You know, I heard Chrom/Sumia's localized support is totally different from the japanese version which is apparently more romantic. Well I dunno if it's true but people should stop getting so hurt over it. We all have preferences and hating a character because of shipping is just silly. As for me FeMU/Chrom OTP but I like Sumia or Olivia with Chrom just as much if I do a male MU run, who I marry to Tiki.
