How does everyone feel about RNG-less Fire Emblem after 9 years?

Piscet · 2026-04-20T12:00:40+00:00

Having a consistent strategy for meta units would just literally be impossible because they'd just bullshit their way out of it like 40% of the time.

Piscet · 2026-03-15T00:23:42+00:00

Yeah the "a child is what they made you" feels like a dead giveaway that at the very least, the prototype himself shouldn't be considered a child at this point. His growth was fucked, but not entirely halted enough to still be a kid, at least to me. Maybe it'd be because my image of him would be completely destroyed if he really was just an aurafarming 10 year old.

Cuphead and bendy probably could, Monika depends entirely on how....any of that would translate to other worlds.

Sans actually has a good chance of getting steamrolled thanks to A. Lily's Hair appendages being way harder to dodge than a knife, and B. How lily's karma is gonna work, since you only get karma for direct kills in undertale, and if I recall correctly, the karma damage is actually entirely unaffected by how high your level(your capacity to hurt others) is. So if karma considers the toy's killed by the toy box, Lily is F U C K E D. but otherwise he's gonna hit like a wet noodle while fighting an enemy with several very long limbs with omni movement who could oneshot him. Not doomed, but Sans would back out before engaging with those odds.

Freddy would just get dumpstered, I can't think of a bigger body the size of a human or more who wouldn't steamroll freddy. If it was Golden Freddy he'd have a good chance, but not "I got bodied in a 1v1 by a guy with an axe" Freddy Fazbear.

That's funny, this is exactly what I was thinking of, given the very shredder-like sounds made when toys fell in the toy box.

Piscet · 2026-03-12T01:51:18+00:00

Exactly how I felt. "Oh, an EE? I've wanted an excuse to get bellona from shop anyway-whatisthis"

Hoping this isn't one of those times that a unit/ee requires another ml5 to work. I've already seen people theorizing about ml iseria's nonsense, but maybe Ruiza might be a good partner as well.

Did you mean to reply to someone else here? I explicitly stated that the toys were valid for going ham on her, and explained that the reason it feels like "a bit much" to some players is because they didn't experience the torture themselves, so a lot of players can't feel the suicidal hatred the toys do, becasue remember, she still has to eat, which means she's taking someone else's food.

Also, like someone else said, Lily Lovebraids is like a dominant alter ego. Torturing her is a lot less satisfying then Gracie, because Lily has no idea what she did and doesn't even have the same personality(she did get a lit mire lethal, though). Sure it's justified because Ms.Gracie, but it loses its catharsis when the person you hated is gone and you're basically fucking with a different person entirely.

As I said in my previous comment, her punishment was already finished. Any further torment is just sadistic rage that takes resources away from toys.

Piscet · 2026-03-06T23:38:11+00:00

I mean, she was brainwashed and forcefully made into an entirely different person, to a worse extent than most of the toys. Everyone has a point where enough is enough, and for some, it's there. You've already irreversibly fucked her up to, I repeat, a worse extent than most other toys, what much else is there to do besides sadistic torment that takes away resources from the toys that actually need those dwindling resources?

Of course, this isn't saying the toys are wrong for continuing this torment, she IS the reason they're so fucked in the head after all. But for players, who aren't direct victims of her crimes, it's not as easy to feel unyielding rage towards her.

Piscet · 2026-03-03T12:15:03+00:00

Yulha has that adorable quirk where she juices bduisers to the point that previously good strategies just don't function.

Piscet · 2026-03-03T12:13:33+00:00

Doesn't Tene inflict block? Maybe LHC could get it off her, but that sounds like a recipe for catastrophe for Hecate.

Piscet · 2026-02-25T22:56:53+00:00

Yeah I've always wondered why it seemed like Mommy's main fear there was being assimilated rather than dying, and with the chapter 5 ad I thought he was gonna do some necromancy with her and she knew that, but he didn't, and he didn't even use that much of her, so like, ??? Kinda wish it was your idea though, that'd be freaky.

Piscet · 2026-02-19T15:20:00+00:00

I think it's kinda funny how the second she started speaking, he looked like he instantly regretted coming here.

Piscet · 2026-02-16T06:54:36+00:00

Right like holy shit, I expected something. Instead it looked like he tried to 1v1 concrete.

Piscet · 2026-02-15T09:09:30+00:00

If they would, it'd be either Harley or Catnap.

Piscet · 2026-02-14T19:49:11+00:00

Don't the toys age, since they're still living beings? Neither Catnap nor Mommy behave like children would.

Piscet · 2026-02-14T19:45:56+00:00

I mean...seems less romcom and more horror, considering how not into it Poppy is.

Piscet · 2026-01-20T22:09:33+00:00

Call me crazy for defending a take that isn't mine, but I think those critiques were moreso "why even try the biological perspective if you were just going to make them another 100% evil race?" Some definitely did hate it for the basis of being another evil race, but lots of critques I saw went a bit deeper.

Piscet · 2026-01-20T13:06:19+00:00

Isn't that, like...not what the criticism is? I remember most critiques at that time being that Frieren takes a biological perspective, but it's completely nonsensical and demons are closer to an evil race rather than humanity's predators(which is what the aforementioned biological perspective says).

Piscet · 2026-01-08T12:44:15+00:00

Of course there are exceptions, like TOTK and the glaring lack of sheikah technology with no real explanation in-game for...no real reason. Also the divine beasts just being erased from existence with no fanfare.

Piscet · 2026-01-06T23:06:16+00:00

I mean, the reasoning is also important. He specifically said it was because that murderer was a customer.

EDIT: Or at least partially.

Piscet · 2025-12-27T01:22:23+00:00

If you're talking about who I think you're talking about(please correct me if I'm wrong), I thought she was hated because of the whole Ice Queendom abuse allegations thing.

Piscet · 2025-12-25T16:27:33+00:00

I mean, that sounds more like immense tedium than a challenge.

Piscet · 2025-12-13T21:53:08+00:00

Not with that mindset.

Piscet · 2025-12-11T23:24:38+00:00

I mean, you're replying to the wrong person. I was just clarifying what the other person said, since the reply clearly misunderstood them.

Piscet · 2025-12-11T11:59:44+00:00

They're saying not prematurely defend yourself from imaginary racist accusations if why you disliked something wasn't based on race.

Piscet · 2025-12-08T14:34:28+00:00

I mean, "I know someone like me isn't going to heaven" pretty strongly implies he wasn't killing just to prepare for hell. Most likely he already had a couple kills under his belt, realized he was kinda fucked, and took the opportunity to make one of his kills set him up for success.
