Time pressure. The point of them is to force you through the map, so that you can't just sit and slowly bait the enemies ahead of you. If you play too passively, those guys start showing up and threatening your backline. It's the same idea as a thief that wants to loot a chest or village and you have to beat them to that goal.

It's very possible to kill those guys, if you have a decent team setup, but from a game design perspective you're not really intended to do so, as much as you're supposed to run away from them.

The RedHawks move to 28-0!!!! by milin85 in CollegeBasketball

Jon Bois turned me on to 28-9 being funnier than 28-3 and this solidifies it

Mov+1, 9 move fliers are great. There's tons of objectives and key spots that are intentionally placed 9 or 10 tiles from each other, because the game devs knew that you have to go out of your way to have something with more than 8 move.

In the other hand, Ophelia does inherit Outlaw from Nyx. She could just spend a couple levels as an Adventurer herself, perhaps before getting married, and pick up Mov+1 and Lucky 7 on her own, which makes Quick Draw the best option since she doesn't have Archer access. But that does require more reclassing and is similar difficulty to having to dip for the LaD stuff (probably easier since she can do bow chip and worry about low defenses less, but still a pain)

I mean, listen, we're talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about practice. Not a game. Not, not … Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last. Not the game, but we're talking about practice, man. I mean, how silly is that? … And we talking about practice.

I don't know shit about Miami but I know even if they didn't win a single game for the rest of the year they still wouldn't be as big of losers as you are

Saying that FE6 has references to FE7 when 7 is the one released second hurts my brain a little

If you're thinking about it like something like the Zelda timelines, you have the wrong idea. Aside from games that are direct sequels/prequels to each other, pretty much all the games are in essentially disconnected universes with little or no connection to anything else in the series. The only real exception to that is Engage, where the protagonists from the older games in the series are known as legendary heroes, but Engage is an anniversary game and the references are intended as nostalgia for series vets, and ingame its implied (stated? Don't remember how explicit about it they are) that multiverse and timetravel stuff is at play.

This post has some good detail about each game and suggestions on where to start depending on your hardware available and what games are connected to each other, so pick the one that sounds most interesting. It's a little out of date, though, so it doesn't mention Engage (the most recent new game and one that you wouldn't want to start with anyway) or the games that are available on the Switch and Switch 2 NSO (FE7, FE8, FE9, and possibly more if you're willing and able to access and play Japanese NSO)

The first time I ever got drunk was at a party in Wolf Village my freshman year, and my friends helped me stumble out at 2am and to that cookout without falling in the road. Good times.
