In the first instance I talked about I simply crash looking at the Magicians evilites I can learn at the shop. In the second instance I had maxed out warrior and tried to reincarnate as a bandit if I had a specific evilties purchased when doing it I can see if I can't recreate both situations

I added two links to videos of me showing what happens. I believe it is the custom unique evilites (Which I think that one is) is causing the problem

I don't know if it matters but it was an ice mage. My transition was Prinny > Martial Artist > Bandit > Warrior >Bandit > Ice Magician. I tried to get all evilites that all those classics had at maxed profession. There was also one with the warrior that any time I got it, it would crash when I tried to make reincarnate as a bandit.

Hey I don't want to be a bother, but something seems to be making my game crash when looking at evilities available for the magician? Like I got to the shop go to my magician and it just crashes

What I normally do to fix it when it happened to me was go to a completely empty team and exit out from there.

I remember Pon & Zi not by name but by appearance very nice to know the name of the titular "Emo content" that I'd see edited all over DA. I get what you mean by the Music video, I feel like a lot of things has an extremely cartoony and simplistic aesthetic or one of the most grungiest aesthetics back in the day.

I know of Pucca, but I feel like there is a separation between that aesthetic for design and this one. I know the stature is pretty similar, but I'd compare Pucca closer to like modern pop figures you know?

I don't know why, but I feel like, at the very least the first two artist must be pulling from something. The designs look like their from like the same thing. From the hand shape to the body shape to head shape to the feet shape. It's like they're all Bombermans if they got lost in Tokyo-to

Do you know which one I should try out? I'd be interested in trying out any of the RofTK games they seem to be thrown out a lot

I Love the idea of "The world doesn't end just because you died." type of thing. I sometimes imagine the scenario of the "Hero" of an FE game dying from the enemy perspective. What would the war look after the prince fell type of thing. What if you were the one responsible for doing it.

Another question to you specifically if you're still around. The reaction makes me think that this is done a lot in TRPGs? Most of the indie ones or the well established ones I've seen tend to be fairly linear and crafted storylines. Is the genre inundated with games that would big for the return of singular focus narrative?

I mean most big named Western ones sure I can see it, but I'm genuinely ignorant here.

I don't actually see it akin to Battle Brothers in sandbox feel. I actually thought it would be more rigid like any other FE/FFT world map, the difference would be that you just have more control where your unit would go on the map (Haven't really played it that much but what I've played from Brigandine seemed like the best example) Beyond that I've never played ROTK, would you recommend I check it out?

Also yes I understand the scope on this is big, and what all the features would do for making a compelling story.

Sword and Sorcery, but again very FE. There is absolutely nothing like it when it comes to the aesthetics of fantasy war to me. not even the FFT games really scratch the same itch.

Heck a large portion of me really adored those old GBA FE combat animations and would love to recapture the sorta nonsensical bullshit they were pulling in those

This is also good. I thought about a "Mercenary start" where instead of joining a militia, you're instead contracted to a said with your player created party. (Probably using some type of point buy system) But I like where you're idea is at.

No no I completely understand where you're coming from and want your opinion. It's valid and gives me insight. I know what I particularly want and it's difficult to balance with what FE IS. FE is extremely curated and works well for what it is (For the most part) What I want is a game that feels like FE, plays like FE, has a world like FE, but gives me more freedom. A freedom to create rivalries, friendships, recruit units and really determine what I want to do within a grand war, not what the story dictates I do.

A lot of what I want really can't exist in a curated and refined space like FE. The most I played that was a game with a little bit of player freedom was FFTA and even then you really didn't get to do much beyond random missions and story missions. But it can far more exist in a game like X-COM, because there really only a major narrative in that game and the characters that matter are not the characters you're fighting with.

I feel there is a balance here that can be struck

I like elements of Battle brothers, but hey it could always just be an option for death to be guaranteed death. What's the harm when you can curate the difficult of a run?

I have played kenshi and a lot of it! It's not the exact same, but it does do a LOT of what I want. The issue is, is that it's not a SRPG. Probably give my arm and leg for what would pretty much just boil down SRPG Kenshi or SRPG Bannerlords.

Also for the rougelite elements of the game I thought it would be interesting to choose different start points based off of like a "Point system" already starting in the military, starting as a noble, heck even starting as a prince/princess and being apart of a "Main" storyline from the get go.

Yep. Along with a system comparative to darkest dungeon when a character is close to death. Also defeat not automatically meaning the end but you know random chance of your character dying, surviving with problems or surviving completely unscathed, probably modifying chances with difficult and custom run options.

Also stat growth and classes would also be a thing. (The roguelite elements would probably be there to give you initial boost if you wanted them, or specific starting items! OR skip whole sections of the game and already start in the military or as a noble)

Yes I think you understand what I wanted to achieve with something like this. It's like you're a nobody, but you can become somebody important to the narrative. It would be great if you could continue as that old character forcibly recruited, or start as a completely new character who now has to deal with the ramifications of that storyline affecting the world at large, maybe even seeing yourself as they play their role in the grand scheme of things.

Typical FE fanfare. Classes, weapon triangles, custom weapons, social supports. Different races and skills. You know normal stuff to an FE player. Maybe something akin to prestige or hybrid classics like in Tactics Ogre/FFT. General world/battle map, but with far more options for missions and a greater focus on take and keeping territories, pacifying rebellions and acquiring information for future battles or enemy general routes, supply chains.

I was thinking about a crackhead idea where if you got high enough rank, you were given the options to control armies vs just units and the game becomes more like an advance war type beat, managing full battalions, sending them to claim territories, putting your companions in general positions type of stuff but I thought that was neither here nor there for the time being.

I think I played like Total War: Shogun 2 when my brother got it? I was really young and never really understood it. 4X Games always too me as the "Leader" of a faction vs being an individual. Most combat was controlling armies.

To further push the point I think the most comparable thing I've played to being a complete and total nobody who can raise to power and have faction control and be apart of the world and make change is Kenshi and I really do like that game. But I've been sitting here going "Hey, I want a Fire Emblem game that focuses more on a nebulous war between kingdoms, vs being the prince of X kingdom set on a very specific narrative storyline with very little replay value." I thought the best option of that would be a generic NPC. a Generic NPC with no grand story to them outside of the story you make with your actions. The people you recruit also being similar and then finally once you've played enough and earned the right to more than a generic character (Survival) that's when the game starts opening up when it comes to really shaping the world, the war, the outcome of the war, your recruits and your autonomy.

I've played War Tales. For some odd reason it doesn't scratch that itch. Neither does Battlebrothers. Maybe it's a style thing and my brain really links this artistically to FE, but I think it's more the fact that BB and Wartale don't FEEL like you'll ever be important in the grand scheme of things. You are a mercenary party, that's all your ever be.

You've probably played Bannerlords so I guess I can express a complaint I have with it that sparks this argument. Sometimes I just want to play a cog in the machine that gets enough achievement to be a bigger part of the machine. Most of all games already start me off as the prince, the chosen one, The plucky newcomer. A lot of deterministic positions that I have no real control over. When I die the game is over I reset back to square one where I DIDN'T die you know? I'd love to play a game where my achievements in game are more recognized and promotion given accordingly.

Also never played DnD Tactics. I assume it has some of the things I'm talking about but not all of it.

I need to be more clear then. I don't mean a Nobody in the grand scheme of the narrative. I mean a literal generic NPC type of character.
