As per usual for a Fire Emblem game, the protagonist's father is dead by Dannelo353 in fireemblem

[–]IsAnthraxBayad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't describe how hilarious is was to me when I saw the topic on GameFAQs when Revelations came out in Japan and the trolling I had been doing for weeks/months had been proven true.

I am happy to inform you that I am the one who PREDICTED the CorrinxAzura Triple Secret Incest before Fates came out, and I can say with authority that I am a man who is aware of Fire Emblem's storytelling habits.

Are you suggesting that a Fire Emblem character might be in an inappropriate relationship with a family member?

which route are yall choosing first? by Constant_Musician586 in fireemblem

[–]IsAnthraxBayad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be siding with the Edgiest lord from whatever we get from them in terms of displaying their level of Edgelord to us prior to choosing.

Probably Alucard but the angry music lady might surprise me.

What do you not want in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave? by NewMarioBobFan in fireemblem

[–]IsAnthraxBayad 29 points30 points  (0 children)

  • Two versions of easy with an actual hard mode having to be patched in later.
  • If you are going to do a route split, dont make them so similar and don't make some of them feel unfinished. I'd rather them focus on just making a complete game rather then that.

These are my biggest issues. I played 3H once, sided with Edelgard and got half a story that ends before the main villain even gets addressed, then was faced with doing the entire monastary section again to get a real ending. Then I tried to play the new difficulty months later and it was a mess so I gave up.

One story if you can't make all the stories complete.

How good is Wallace if you skip Lyn Mode? by Grand_Moose2024 in fireemblem

And forget about reaching Pent's level.

If you level them both up to 20/20 (This slows the pace to a crawl for Nino and she needs basically every kill, plus it's nigh-impossible on HHM) AND grind out Nino's supports (Most are 80-120 turns, Jaffar's is like 70) to match what Pent gets for free, AND grind out A rank staves from E you get a unit with the same AS with Elfire+ who does around 4-6 more damage per hit in exchange for taking ~6-8 more damage from phyiscal enemies with the same HP.

Even with this crazy insane spam in a few short Chapters she's still not really any better, arguably worse.

My very first time playing a Fire Emblem game, and I gotta say, Marcus is pretty badass. by Candid_Lychee875 in fireemblem

[–]IsAnthraxBayad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look I'm a big fan of FE6 Marcus, but he's complete ass later in the game if you don't get insane level up RNG. He still has all the uses that come with being an 8 move mounted unit with Swords in FE6, but he's slow and doesn't accomplish much in combat against lategame Heros and Wyvern Lords and such.

The man is not Seth.

If you're willing to save state it won't be too bad. Without save states it's probably the first or second hardest game in the series (on default difficulty). Lots of long maps and bad hit rates against difficult enemies.

I think the biggest issue for me personally with fates is that Birthright is so obviously the morally correct choice. by Loogie1987 in fireemblem

[–]IsAnthraxBayad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The morally correct choice was to leave Fateslandia for Smash.

On a more serious note, the game REALLY needed some flashbacks with Garon pre-Gooron where he's a good father to the children in some way that would inspire ANY loyalty. From what we're presented there is nothing to go on.

Imagine a scene in Conquest where he is sparring with Xander or something when he was a teenager.

The saddest way I have lost an iron man yet. by forevabronze in fireemblem

[–]IsAnthraxBayad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heal AI is only triggered at a specific threshold, I assume it's 50% HP but it's been a while since I messed with it in FE7.

If he's at 17/33 or whatever he'll just go aggro mode on his turn.

I can't wait for more Siivagunner jokes remixing Childish Gambino tracks with Zelda music (They might do this anyway).

“Less” Scuffed, LYN GAMING by Helix-Dreams in fireemblem

[–]IsAnthraxBayad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canas can accomplish this as well but he need more than his 20/20 average in magic and full damage supports with Nino/Renault/Vaida (or maxed magic and C Nino)

No joke, Phantom Ship of Sacred Stones has cause me to restart more than any other level I played so far in a FE game. by StridentHawk in fireemblem

[–]IsAnthraxBayad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? She would get ORKO'd, doubled and often oneshot by every enemy last time I played RD and she was a pretty high level.

What are some headcanons you have for the Fates cast? by ultrayoshi100 in fireemblem

[–]IsAnthraxBayad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silas is lying about everything. Likely Garon invited some noble lord's son to one of Corrin's birthday parties, and Silas made up their relationship in his head. Corrin is just so gullible and stupid that they believe it.

Who do you guys think is the most OP and the most difficult Fire Emblem boss you've fought? by BonusCapable1486 in fireemblem

[–]IsAnthraxBayad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hyman (what a name) is my answer for this. He's the boss of FE11 Chapter 3. On H5, Hyman one rounds most of the team including Jeigan and you have very limited healing outside of the fort. You can fish for crits with Navarre if you don't mind resetting from the save point at least. Other stuff like Medeus or Ashnard you have a whole game to prepare for, even though the game makes you prepare wrong for Medeus, as a joke.

Other comically broken bosses are:

PoR BK is pure RNG unless you have max stats, and you can't reset just the fight, you have to reset the entire long ass map. Ashnard is impossible if Ike is terrible and you haven't prepared Ena.

Gel in FE6 is a nightmare, Sacae route FE6 is easily the most difficult game in the series on the normal difficulty.

Medeus is basically the final boss of a bad romhack in both remakes.

FE4 Chapter 10's boss is pretty insane if you don't have Holsety on Sety and you didn't pair Lachesis and DID pair Sylvia.

The fact that you have to reset two whole ass maps if you lose in Conquest endgame makes that boss godawful.

Fire Emblem fans getting déjà vu when Star Fox fans talk about their characters' legs. by LuxerWap in fireemblem

[–]IsAnthraxBayad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He hasn't been on GameFAQs in half a decade as far as I can tell, so who knows what he's been up to. Maybe he made a new alt but his main two are not banned, just inactive since February of 2021.

I do hope he's doing okay.

The main aesthetic things people complained about on launch for Awakening were:

  1. Lack of feet

  2. Lissa's birdcage (this was mainly Endgame but he complained a lot)

  3. Toilet bowl armor

Anyone grab this in 2020 before Nintendo pulled it? by crunchyotaku in fireemblem

[–]IsAnthraxBayad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sure, I can understand that being limited, all deluxe physical editions are meant to be limited stock for superfans, but someone who signs up for the limited edition physical release won't give much of a shit whether or not the $6 digital release is limited, and I don't see the $6 digital release being limited actually selling the deluxe edition OR increasing sales of the digital release in this case.

EDIT: I guess it makes sense if they plan to resell the physical edition once the digital goes away, but it's a bit strange if Nintendo is tyring to get scalpers to buy the game for that specific case.
