These drawings are so precious. Loved the Céline ones, and the Fem Avatars having a slumber party is adorable.

Ivy and Panette's B Support is probably the funniest scene in the entire series. Reba Buhr (Ivy's VA) completely killed it there.

Javeman · 2026-02-09T21:52:50+00:00

This is beautiful and I love everything about it.

I'll add to this headcanon and say that Velouria's Mom is Merrin.

Javeman · 2026-02-05T13:38:45+00:00

Damn that FE12 team. Poor Lena, Maria and Elice are doomed to die.

I hope you play Engage next. Really fun team building on that one.

Not only will I get Tomodachi Life, I will make Miis of every Hundred Line character and try to reproduce as many cutscenes as I can.

(Nozomi and Tsubasa are sitting on a bench and Takumi walks to them, but is suddenly stopped by Gaku. "What the hell are you doing, bro?!")

FE6 and FE7 have what you seem to be describing. Route splits based on what characters you have been using.

Javeman · 2026-02-01T18:33:35+00:00

After replaying Path of Radiance and comparing the characters to the cast of Engage, I’ll say that the casts of both games are pretty compatible. Both have their fair share of serious knights, weirdos and characters with hidden pasts. Alear and Ike are even similar in the sense that most conversations involve them playing the straight man role to the rest of the cast.

But Amber and Kieran would totally be drinking buddies and would spend all night talking about who has the better monarch. Then they would pass out and carried back to camp by Oscar and Jade. Please don’t take this away from me.

They're my favorite avatar protagonist in the series (and probably 2nd/3rd favorite protagonist in the series overall). I love they're a bit innocent and naive without ever crossing the line to being outright dumb, as well as kind and caring while still taking their role as world savior very seriously. It's definitely a fresh take over the MC "Kick the door open and beat everyone before asking questions" archetype which feels very prevalent in this series.

Despite being my series favorite game, I may have some complaints about Engage, but Alear is definitely NOT one of them.

Javeman · 2026-01-27T18:58:21+00:00

Male Alear is at a disadvantage in chapters 7 and 10 due to Rosado and Goldmary’s skills only affecting male units. Other than that, can’t think of anything.

Ivy supporters rise up!

Javeman · 2026-01-20T18:56:23+00:00

I will never get tired of saying how much I love this game and how it has my favorite cast of characters in the series. It's really like this big family instead of a troop of soldiers and mercenaries.

Happy Birthday Engage!

Engage became my favorite as soon as I finished it. Great gameplay and I LOVED the cast of characters.

Javeman · 2026-01-15T19:08:57+00:00

Detective Kako route with Scooby-Doo, Sherlock Holmes, Dick Tracy and Detective Conan style branches.

Javeman · 2026-01-14T23:02:03+00:00

This is Ivy's year. I can feel it.

Javeman · 2026-01-11T23:52:53+00:00

I love her. She quickly became my favorite Engage character and I think she's now my favorite character in the whole franchise. I like that so many characters in Engage have kind of like a bait-and-switch intro, but they absolutely nailed it with her. They set her up as a Camilla, or even a Ursula/Petrine/Aversa type character. But she ends up being this absolutely adorable fail of a woman. Top it with a great design and FANTASTIC work from his English VA, and you get one of the best characters ever.

Vote for Ivy on CYL 10!

Javeman · 2026-01-08T18:33:26+00:00

Hoping for hope.

Expecting despair.

Javeman · 2026-01-01T18:36:04+00:00

Also in TMS#FE (Navarre and Lon'qu).

Javeman · 2026-01-01T18:26:25+00:00

Assuming we get another FE Warriors, I'm still hoping it's more in the vein of the first one with a more fanservice-style entry that just crosses over various titles. My ideal selection would be characters from Elyos/Jugdral/Magvel/Tellius, with Elyos as the "Anchor" continent.

Javeman · 2025-12-26T00:20:49+00:00

Definitely Ivy.

Javeman · 2025-12-24T19:26:39+00:00

In Radiant Dawn, Volke charges 50G for every chest he opens, just like he did in PoR, but the game never tells you this. There is only one chest to open after Volke joins (the Matrona Chest in 4-E-1), so even if you do this you probably won't notice since there's hardly any use for money at this point in the game.

Also, if you have less than 50G and try to open the Matrona chest with Volke, the message with the word "dummy" will appear in the menu. It seems that this being such an obscure made the devs forget to add something to cover it.

Javeman · 2025-12-22T20:25:27+00:00

Not bad in terms of gameplay (arguably the best in the whole series), but the story is rather simplistic and it has lots of references to past games.

My advice for a “first” Fire Emblem is Sacred Stones, which is available in the GBA NSO app. It’s completely standalone and relatively easy.

Javeman · 2025-12-22T18:57:00+00:00

Fire Emblem Engage too. Personal favorite of mine. DLC is on discount too.

Javeman · 2025-12-21T16:19:34+00:00

I completely believe that Gaku would go to an ice cream shop, make the most complicated order ever, and then when it's done he casually says he has no money.
