Who is the best FE: fates character?

And why is it Arthur?

My wife Soleil is so cute.

pic is best character in birthright easily

best conquest character is probably Leo tbqh

I'm excited for every new Fire Emblem game and I played all the old ones since GBA but boy am I glad I skipped Fates.
Boy does it just not appeal to me, from multiple angles.
I don't like the art style.
I don't like the characters.
I don't like selling the game as three separate games.
I don't like censorship and cutting out entire gameplay segments.

I hope Fire Emblem gets back on track going forwards because I loved the old games. I didn't mind Awakening much either, I don't know how it went so bad so fast.

I'm going to skip out on Echos because it doesn't have an creatable MC to self insert as, it doesn't have romancing waifus or child units. Pretty much everything great about Fates and Awakening is not in Echos.

Hopefully we get a new main Fire Emblem game in the next few years. I want them to add an option where I can marry any girl as a girl instead of only giving me one option. Yuri romances are the best and Rajhat was my only choice.

Nice samefagging

Fates really isn't that bad, gameplay wise it's stronger than Awakening. Conquest has gameplay and a story structure similar to older games not called Gaiden and Sacred Stones, and has pretty fun difficulty for all of that. The stories for all 3 routes of fates are pretty horrible, but it fixes a lot of the problems with broken gameplay/leveling in awakening to some extent.

Plus the armor is a little bit better than awakening's shit designs, several conquest characters have armor designs reminiscent of older games which is pretty nice.

If you actually liked the GBA games, Conquest is at least worth a try when you run out of the other games and want more FE. Birthright is more of awakening, whether or not that's good for you.

At this point I doubt I'll ever play Fates. I'm not even sure what it is I dislike about the art style either but to me it just looks like a real step backwards from Awakening. Maybe the armor is better but Fates just looks forgettable to me.

And I don't want to upset anyone who likes Fates, I'll accept this as just me. So much of the game just turns me off instantly, I haven't given it a chance. It could be great and I don't really know.

I think Echoes could be really good if it does a clever job of taking the old and experimental elements of Gaiden and mixes it with the gameplay that they refined over the whole series including the convenience of the most modern games. I'm optimistic about the future.

I was same person that posted

>my authur "died" right at the end of the mission you get him
sorry pal

You mean Benny

>he doesn't soft reset when someone dies
I can't do that. Anytime someone dies I feel personally responsible.

I'd be up for them adding an automatic reset mode to the difficulty options instead of the phoenix whatever crap.

Something you pick at the start of the game like permadeath - except any time a character is killed the game immediately resets the the start of the mission with no/minimal loading.
Perfectionist mode.

It would just save time.

Then just play Casual

I also skipped Fates. After Awakening proved too boring to bother with for more than a single playthrough, I saw Fates being more of the same and decided to just ignore it. Hopefully even if every new game is the same way from now on, at least they'll keep up with the remakes and not fuck those up

As much as I like him, the guy can't hit the broad side of a barn.
My best unit was berserker Camilla or Xander. Xander's kid was surprisingly good too.

I want something between casual and permadeath though, where any failure forces you to restart the map.
It's what I'm sure many people do anyway, I just want a mode that saves time. It would also prevent you from ever accepting a death to slide by a hard mission, forcing perfection.

I only did that for lucina in awakening
im trying not to save scum on this run(which is hard because my last attempt i got to chapter 10 with only 2 units, thank god for the restart game at "the branch" option)

every version of fates is a better game than awakening. awakening's maps and pair up systems are too ass to ignore. fates are actually as good as previous fire emblem games, awakenings map designs are some of the worst in the series.

Is it better enough to demand being bought three times?

best girl
best wife
S-Rank unit

you're not a faggot, right Sup Forums?

revelations is worse than awakening

Best mom for Sophie

What's up nerds.

the fuck is up with his torso

Don't bully chinman

It's worth paying twice the price of awakening for a game that's three times as large with better maps

awakening is $40
conquest beats the shit out of awakening and is $40
birthright beats the shit out of awakening and is $20
revelations is about as good as awakening and is $20

this is all based on the assumption that you'd be willing to buy awakening for $40 of course, but fates is definitely a better value if you give a shit about good maps per dollar

Yeah seriously whats wrong with his torso haha we should burn him alive haha

can I just fap to the girls for both for 0$

I might buy a used copy of one to tide me over until Echoes.
Still salty about the censorship.

he was the first character that died and i didnt start over the map

What a boring fucking character, fuck axe users in general. I never use them

I want to have homosexual sex with Keaton!

>fuck Axe users
Heard you talking shit like I wouldn't find out

Go job somewhere else.

before >buying skills

i married him to mozu

Recently started Conquest on Citra, so far I like Camilla

Why is chapter 10 so fucking hard? I feel like Lunatic/Classic was a big mistake

Tell me, user. Did you do your Duty and give him his namesake Axe? +2 Defense is actually pretty nifty,even moreso on Percy.

He used to but then i handed it down to Percy

I actually don't remember many characters from Fates, they were boring as fuck and Corrin was a pacifist faggot

Which ones have you played before, also focus more on turtling, if you've been using Effie, then her, Corrin, and Camillla and her two retainers are invaluable for that map

It took a while for her to grow on me but she's stolen my heart

I love her

Don't forget Rallyman

Ctrl + F = No Oboro.

No wonder we keep getting poorly written plots and gimmick characters.

GBA ones: Binding Blade, Blazing Blade, Sacred Stones
I have been using Effie, guess I will just turtle around the green spaces and wait 11 turns, kinda wanted to take on the boss

yeah, it's difficult to reach Takumi, even on HM, plus his retainers can be a handful as they don't tend to go out on their own and Oboro's skillset can mess you up.

That's because I already mentioned how her and Benoit are the best couple in it, until she gets crippler crossfaced ;_;

Let's ask Japan.

Why is Takumi so popular? Fujoshi have the weirdest fucking taste.

Japs have shit taste in general, but fujos bring it to a new level.

jap girls like assholes beating them up

stop being beta fags

How are the house rewards? I know the closest one gives you a Master Seal, what about the others?

Japs love insecure, angsty and tsundere fuqbois. Takumi and Leo were pretty much designed around appealing to them, though Leo is less so than Takumi.

>neither side is related to you by blood
Why would you ever side with those Jap faggots then?

The monk truly is /ourguy/

To add on this, they are to Japanese girls what Yamato Nadeshikos/Moeblobs are to Japanese guys.

I honestly can't remember

>corrin nowhere to be seen
based nips

Doesn't matter if you're burger, euristan, or jap. It's just flat out impossible to like Corrin.

I don't think Corrin was even an option for that particular poll.

>Being a pacifist is bad

>I reset any time that a character dies

Do you tip your fedora at the same time?

Because you know you're just a child who forgot the words of our first President, George Washington.

>I was younger than you are now
>When I was given my first command
>I led my men straight into a massacre
>I witnessed their deaths firsthand
>I made every mistake
>I felt the shame rise in me

>But then I reset and everything was fine!

It doesn't work like that. Ironman run every run or you're a pussy. And no sacrificing your lords to force a game over either.

>implying it isn't

Some people just have shit taste

>being a manchild who has never seen combat who believes that war is still cool

if you think war is so cool why don't you go overseas and fight ISIS?

It is when they are only a pacifist in one route.

Some people like to write it off as Femui being canon for Conquest, with the idea that being female makes her more passive than Mamui, who is more aggressive in Birthright.

My only issue with this is that the best girls are mostly in Nohr, but Camilla is the girl that always loses anyway and none of the others are particularly attached to Kamui.

War in video games is cool though
I don't feel ptsd from blowing up 0s and 1s you stupid ass

For me, it depends on the game. In something like FE3 that gives you a fuck ton of units, I don't reset. But in a game like Conquest you're going to be fucked if one of your good characters die, I reset.

>who is more aggressive in Birthright
Only because Birthright is Corrin on Hoshido's side and Hoshido can do no wrong, so slaughtering Nohrians without a care almost every map is a-okay

Is it true that even the Japs hated that shit too?
How can you fuck up your "nippon stronk!" story so bad that actual Japanese people don't like it?

Also if you do game over you have to destroy whatever device you played it on. Actually no, you literally have to kill yourself.

That's how war works. Sometimes you lose someone who you were depending on. Make fewer mistakes if you don't like it.

That and it makes your playthroughs far more interesting. You're forced to come up with new strategies if you lose units who tend to carry you through the game.

>Ironman
>in a game so heavily RNG dependant
That's autism, you could lose your best units to a missed hit and being unable to clear the game, especially in Conquest. Hell, I am 10 chapters in and I already got some 90%+ misses followed by enemy 2% criticals

I understand playing Classic so you are forced to reset and you can't just steamroll the map by throwing sacrificial lambs though.

A more appropriate analogy would be deleting your save file. With your lord dead, presumably the army collapses and the cause dies.

>le rng is bad maymay

RNG is present in every aspect of your life. It's especially present in war. Not being able to deal with it is the mark of an inexperienced and unrefined commander.

This guy looks like the cute boy from a shota doujin I just fapped to, are they related?

Arthur has high likability but low attachment.

It's VERY esay to say "I like Arthur!" but it's not as easy to say "Of all the male characters in the game, I'm going to marry Arthur!"

That's the idea. He sacrificed his viability as a spouse for his instantaneous likability. I haven't met a single player that's married Arthur tbqh.

I imagine it's partially because Arthur and Effie generally seems like an amazing idea in Conquest, so most people probably just have them fuck

That's why life is unfair and bad while games are funny and good.

Wanting your games to be like life isn't fun in the slightest.

Because a lot of Nippons are huge westaboos that fawn over people with European features. Just look at how most of the popular characters are from Nohr. Also it was hamfisted to a point that it negatively impacted the story.

>i want a magical fairyland war where everything is perfectly predictable and characters always deal set amounts of damage so that my routine is not disturbed

literally autism

It's certainly not anyone from Hoshido that's for damn sure. Never met such a dull and uninteresting cast.

Nohr was alright. I liked Charlotte and Benny. But there's way too many retainers in this game.

It's also more likely to already have Effie/Arthur up to B or A support by the time you even get more characters, since Conquest is a little more stingy at the start and you're more likely to be pairing people to survive the harder game.

The guy looks so fucking stupid
He is way too fucking stylised in comparison to anything else in the game
And his son is fucking medieval Captain America or something

way better than awakening and gets natural access to ninja

>But there's way too many retainers in this game.
While you aren't wrong and it makes Fates' world feels really fucking small, at least some of them still have their own individual backstories. And Hoshido has Saizo, Oboro and Azama, who are basically the shining lights of Hoshido as far as I'm concerned, as much as I want to motorboat that senran's titties.

No one said that.
Randomness is fine, but not when I have to replay the entire game because I fucked up positioning once or RNG decided to forever cripple my playthrough.

Also being unable to tell between life and games is literally autism.

>Better than Awakening
>Still a shitty philanderer who fails at every turn
>Anankos gutted his Awakening stats
>Better

It's okay, you don't have to get defensive. Some people just aren't up for the responsibility of command.

AMERICA
FUCK YEAH

>No speed and def: the character

He gets fucking 1 rounded by everything. Fucking Arthur makes a better Hero than him.

>making him a hero
there's the problem
Make him a ninja for speed/avoid and he's a killer

he's fucking great as a ninja though

It's amazing how such a 10/10 fap fuel design was such a flat character.

He's really not.

he really is though

She has a few decent supports where she actually shows some personality, like with Odin where she starts geeking out with him. But sadly those are the minority.

That's how it always goes down. I guess she's Hoshido's Tharja/Camilla
Also I would also like to go on record as saying Oboro is easily the most interesting character in the game, and pretty fucking stronk as well

>It's okay
If it is, then don't make those posts

>ctrl+f mitama
>nothing
Sup Forums having shit taste is nothing new, but wew

You don't need to put pressure on yourself to actually do a good job of leading your troops if it's too stressful for you to do it properly, user. That's why there's Casual mode.

Like I said, it's okay.

Oh, don't mind me, just posting the most well-written Fates character.
