Fuck Fire Emblem's avatar system

All these units kissing my ass constantly because Im supposed to be some mary sure naive about the world chosen one fuck boy. I can't tell if they're really my friends or if they just want all my cash by how deep every characters head is up my booty.

It compromises the story, the protagonist, the antagonists, and FE's reputation. All so /vp/ can pretend marry a 2d portrait.

I remeber when FE had a good story. Maybe not Matsuno level, but still servicable. At this point, it's Shonen animu: the strategy game.

FUCK IT ALL!!!

>anime

No thanks

The funny thing is that the girls aren't even good, so it fails as datingshit too.

I like Corrin's personality in supports. But fuck 9's writing is so amazing in comparison. Are casuals really allergic to well-developed settings?

You can blame waifufags and shippingfags for this.

I agree with everything you've written. There were a lot of potentially good things in the setting and premise of Fates but they were all suffocated by the way they handled the main character - more Awakening style self insert dicksuckery.

>All so /vp/ can pretend marry a 2d portrait.

/vp/? why /vp/?

Yeah, really needs more people who won't take your shit

Nothing here I disagree with.

So, Fates is really so bad?

Remember this shit?
This shit was good because it didn't lower its self and pander to the waifu dipshit crowd. It was made with care and fucking heart, instead of a greedy cash grab to get Otaku's money.

when I knew that the story was going to be shit and never stop being shit

>blind Hard mode Classic
>Rainbow Sage level
>killing everyone, my Nyx dies
>whatever she sucked
>finish level
>omg you guys we won the battle without killing anyone! we just knocked them unconscious with our fire magic and our axes and swords
>Hinoka : "grr you're still evil though"

fuck this, forever. this is lower than a child's understanding of a moral dilemma

I thought Robin was fine desu

The worst part of all that is that FE is dead and got reduced to a mobile casuals game for half normalfags who just love the epic waifu maymay.

Awakening was a fucking mistake.

The story is the worst fucking thing I've seen

user probably meant whatever /vg/ thread is going on about FE waifus at the moment.

Kind of agree. On the one hand, the writing is abysmal and suffers both from the format and the inability of Nintendo to put down a decent story. On the other hand, you are basically signing up as a Mary Sue - even moreso than Awakening - so I can't argue too strongly about Nintendo giving exactly what they presented. I can only state that it worked out poorly.

How many decent writers does the industry really have anymore? Most of the good ones were fairly mediocre and better known for fittings some good moments into the limited space of a cartridge rather than epically thought-out worlds. Sure, I'd like it to be better written, but realistically there aren't many people in the industry who could even do so.

That, and supports are a terrible way to present a character's personality.

The story is pretty lackluster. Gameplaywise, it scratches that Fire Emblem itch.

You should play Other M.

The gameplay was good.
If you played Conquest
on Hard Mode
and skipped the story.

So, yes it was bad.

Fortunately I do not have a 3DS, but this makes me sad because FE like this one were great games.

Story is ass but Conquest has the best gameplay I have ever seen in any Fire Emblem game, period.

I liked that I could grind in FE: Awakening but the story was so bare bones basic you could see it coming a mile away.

then you faggots should have bought those games so Nintendo didn't have to stoop to that level.
It's your fault, don't deny it. Cucks

It was also a very easy and rather simple FE game to play

>wahhh FE is dead wahhhh
>Literally the most popular its ever been right now

Fucking love this meme

This pissed my off so much. Like, it could have been a choice you make during gamplay and you get some gold or junk based off how many units you don't kill. So you have to decide which you need more, exp or gold. I mean, this is all top of the head bulshit, any amount of actual thought could produce a better outcome than what was given.
And all this after how much fun I had with chapter 10.

Can i read somewhere a summary of the story? I'm fucking curious now.

>I remeber when FE had a good story
I don't. I remember it being competent but dull and unmemorable. Not really high on my checklist of what I want from FE.

The guy who wrote this is not a vidya writer. He was brought from outside and was supposed to be kind of a big deal in japan. They even did a whole Iwata interview with him.

I was impressed at how he managed to write a story that makes Awakening look like Shakespeare and a main character who makes me long for Micaiah.

Game has some good maps, though.

I did buy it mother fucker. It was you Otaku bitches who should have bought it, but waaaah no waifu no buyfu. Waaah the story is too realistic and theres no beams like in my animaymays

>I was impressed at how he managed to write a story that makes Awakening look like Shakespeare and a main character who makes me long for Micaiah.

Because like 60% of his background lore and stuff got cut out of the game for some reason

>tfw we'll never get to see the story as he envisioned it

4, 9

No one ever gave a shit about your dead series until they changed it. Kill yourself faggot, we control FE now.

The story is pretty sad, but character interactions are passable as long as the MC isn't involved. Gamplay and satge design is perfect in Conquest, and decent in Birthright.

Im planning to do lunatic conquest. Am I making a huge mistake?

Are you implying Awakening wasn't made with heart? To me it felt like they put every ounce of what they were capable of into that game because it could have been the last one.

>weeboo shit
>expecting a good story

t. perma virgin waifufag

1. Sweet strawman.

2. If you don't think FE has always been generic animu and waifus, you didn't play any of the games.

Slightly off topic

When are we going to get insane amounts of customization or a "life to anime" level of customization where it takes your face and makes a custom anime model from it?

I fucking hate the preset options avatar has

>This is neo-FE's target audience
You can have it

Don't you have a dakimura to go hug?

Can't you just intentionally gimp your avatar? Like having luck as your +stat and reduce your stats via stat editing

IIRC I heard something like he made the story but then ISIS came in and gutted the majority of it. It legit would not surprise me if they axed everything but the setting, because that setting is 10/10 in my opinion.

cool

the cuckery is strong with this one

9 is in my top ten games of all time. Story and characters both were dull and unmemorable. I remember being amazed playing the others and discovering how bad they were in comparison to something that merely did its job, then finding out people praised 9's plot. I guess it's relative?

>a smash slot was wasted on this

>not even fire emblem fans like him

I think that it's great, but not perfect. Lots of skills and classes are skewed for enemies, trial and error maps due to reinforcement triggers (and for me, enemy skills because I'm a retard who doesn't pay attention), dual attacks are not as good as pairing up in general, lack of weapon durability eliminates some of the fun resource management that there used to be, supposedly strong weapons have drawbacks that are not really worth it since characters can hit hard with bronze or iron, and some maps that are more gimmicky than solid. I also don't like the way supports are built, but it does make the game require more strategy.

None of this, even combined, makes Conquest a bad game. It was a blast to play and very rewarding. But I fucking loved FE10 as well, especially part 1. Replaying that DLC map from FE10 really made me miss that height mechanic and also stuff like Canto for mounted units.

You need sex.

It should have been the last one, because all it did was draw shitfuck otakus and retarded censorship-demanding SJW kids and ruined the gameplay and dialogue and characters and fucking Fire Emblem taking over Smash Bros and HOLY FUCKING JESUS DICK I'M STILL PISSED OFF KILL FIRE EMBLEM KILL NINTENDO KILL EVERYONE!!

I just got to that level
>Rinkah one shots all squishies, has a 6-13% crit chance against all my units
>plus her '''''''''club'''''''' is ranged
>archers have fucking counter

Why does this map exist

Real fire emblem fan here, I'm way more ok with Kamui being instead of fucking Roy. Worst game, worst protag and on top of all he's a fucking clone. At least Kamui's play style is fun and unique

I can't believe the writer got paid to write something like this.

>fun resource management

lunatic is similar to lunatic in Awakening where the most optimum strategy is to use as few characters as possible to funnel all the exp to them. The beginning will be harder than the rest of the game because of this. I know people who prefer it that way, but I can never get into it.

Enough with the "Roy is so bad OMG!", his only problem is his late promotion, then he becomes an engine of destruction. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with his personality and character.

I'm actually so happy weapon durabiliy is gone. I hated that, it was so tedious.

FE10 was great though, despite all the wonky balance issues among its cast of characters.

I didn't even go to the archer block. Fuck that noise I'd rather miss out on exp.

>Roy
>Personality and character

I still think Lucina was a worse idea than Roy. The fact that she is just Marth without any tipper makes it even more dumbfounding.

At least people asked for Roy.

> At least Kamui's play style is fun and unique

Kamui is one of the least interesting characters in the game. Yes, they are not a marth clone, but by that logic everyone in the game besides lucina and roy deserve praise.

This also implies that any other character they could've chosewould'nt have been unique. I guaruntee you if any other franchise got a rep they wouldn't be the 240242th character with a counter

How did you deal with Rinkah?
Or did you just roll the bones?

Honestly I was just going to get Effie a a stack of healing items and let her javelin the whole room to death

tfw they remake the Telius saga and incorparate an avatar and marriage and you can invite mist to your room

I used Effie with a Javelin, she was able to solo all of the archers, leaving just the "boss" to clean up.

Censored in the NoA version.

>The name is Conquest.
>You do not conquer anything.

Nice name, Nintendo.

Duckie's mouth looks like a sideways vagina. Would kiss with my dick/10.

I don't even remember. I think it was Effie.

The goal is to "conquer" notjappon

This. Roy at least had differences in Melee and in 4 was Luigified to be only a semi-clone with a very distinct and different way to play. Lucina is an alt costume given separate life because Sakurai wanted an easy-mode Marth for the bewginners and because no tipper means she needed to be separate to track her online stats.

If you have half your team gang up on Rinkah, she shouldn't be too much of a problem since she doesn't move.

And pair Effie up with someone that gives +Def and she shouldn't even need the healing items.

That lore would have to pull a lot of weight to make up for the retarded protagonist and general idiocy of the story.

Is there any reason it seems like every enemy in conquest has a crit chance on me or is it just because I have some units with abysmal luck?

It feels like I'm stuck facing against 3% instant death in every battle.

>yfw we'l never have Tellius levels of background information, lore, and world building.

>He wanted the "if" title

That should be normal for FE games in general.

please no

...

Ugh, don't. Its too painful.
Now its old ugly evil king wants to kill and conquer pure innocent good hearted notjapan. Thats all there is too it. Thats all there fucking is.

>Implying Oboro, Hana, and Belka like Corrin.
>Implying Not Severa isn't just using them to get her yukata back

Fuck off is SoS worse than SD or Gaiden, FE6 is objectively the best version of FE1 to play and you know it.

...

You'll look at this. And you will see what has been, and what will never be again.

Everything they have besides level design or animations that dont look terrible

And the worst part about all of this? Most of this is information that is told to you in-game over PoR and RD.

>"conquer" notjappon

I see, there is no way even if you're the hero the enemy army.

>Story and characters both were dull and unmemorable
4 u

>cutscene where corrin asks everyone to jump off the cliff
>no one objects to it, not even takumi

This is nice and all, but to set the record straight, Tellius was the ONLY FEverse that had this level of care and craft. Every other game's world was shallow.

Are any of the dlc classes in fates worth using?

And Fates was the shallowest of them all. Hell even Elibe had a bit of depth to it with the Dragon's Gate, Legendary Weapons causing issues with the laws of physics and the Ending Winter, and The Scouring.

Roy has less fucking character than FE2 Alm, and his late promotion means he has to be babysat because his stats aren't very good and he's not able to promote and get higher stats, and at the same time he's sucking up EXP to put towards nothing.

After his late promotion (which is an understatement, given he promotes FOUR CHAPTERS BEFORE THE END OF THE GAME) he gets a 20 use sword and is still underleveled.

>Character randomly dies on the way down for aboslutely no reason whatsoever.

I really hope whoever writes the next one realises that you can't just throw in a death scene and expect it to be poignant, if it's out of nowhere like that then it just looks retarded

Lilith's deaths in the other routes also suffered from this. There really was no reason for her to just show and bite the dust.

You mean Otakus. Fire Emblem sold out to Otaku culture because they realize they wouldn't survive otherwise. FE:Fates is the biggest disgrace of IS.

at least it serves a purpose after a few chapters

Otakus don't care about anything as long as they get their cliche anime girls.

How boring.

Conquest has good gameplay, but it legitimately gets better if you skip cutscenes.

Plotholes and people always acting like retards.

You need to die right alongside Aqua.

all of them. They are really good so that people can buy them.

The brothers really should have been the main characters.
