Post ITT and I will assign you a fire emblem character

[Maestro]

ohmigod I love this, also what're the divisions in the OP? looks roughly like "console/generation" but I didn't play some of the older ones so I'm unsure

/in?

[Maestro]

Didn’t even remember the character bc I only played the DS remake but

damn OP is good

bc Excal/wind spells are my fav

Thank you! Happy New Year

Sacred Stones best Stones

I thought Ephraim & Eirika were such cuties when I first played that game - Ephraim’s crit animation was a contributor to my bisexual awakening I think

[Maestro]

omg wait cute!!!

I'm still hoping for a newer-gen remake of Gaiden :/

Edit: I am a fool; after Googling, I should totally get Echoes/Shadows I am so out of the loop I didn't realize it

was

a remake

[Maestro]

weird? how-so?

[Maestro]

that's the funny part; I've been pulling out an old save of the cartridge I have now and then recently, looking at some online resources which say (and I think I agree) it basically doesn't matter who you invest in bc you can get anybody to close-to-max stats if not max stats anyway, over time HOWEVER the one thing I liked doing was planning out otherwise-impossible skill inheritance stuff with the children characters ... just more Seals (which are infinite if you're using SpotPass) XP/Gold (also infinite via Outrealm/DLC maps) and time needed for some of them, less for others

I love Donnel & anybody that could be a Manakete or Dark Mage; I think the fun of the newer games with free-er reclassing is just investing in who you want, even supports-wise since they're mainly based on turns spent near each other in battle still, right? i don't rly remember specifically heheh

[Maestro]

what's a good number to invest in then, ig

I think the best thing (in Awakening) is to pick which characters you despise the least that can support eachother (& ones that can have children characters), bc you'll want them to be supporting and/or paired up, even, bc it's OP as hell, so given Ariel's spoiler, best idea is probably

5-8ish pairs of 2

& some other good/favorite units - Manaketes & most non-Dark Mages are good

[Maestro]

Manaketes are not as OP in Awakening as in other games, IIRC
