The FE5 cast rules and is a perfect example of doing a lot with very little, wich is why I love the old FE game.

Like take Ralph. At first glance he look like an extremly generic pre-promote : mid but usable base, generic portrait. But that the point ! He is the embodiment of the common folk that still choose to rise against atrocity. Or the Leonster knight scrub squad. Yeah they suck, because they are just a bunch of guy cosplaying as knight while Dryas remince of his "glory" day. Do you think it is a coincidence the two shitty cav you get are named like knock-off Abel and Cain (it's Alva and Kain, btw). Shannam is a garbage swordmaster who only worth is buying thing 50 % cheaper, because is a conman ! He is pretenting to be Shannan ! Xavier and Misha are horribly to recruit because they do not want to be recruited (You want to kill Xavier because his recruitement is the worst objective in the franchise ? Good news, he also want Leif to kill him !)

But my favorite example is Eda. At first glance, she is just a unpromoted, worst version of her brother who join as the same time. But here the thing : one, she has the best death quote in the franchise, and two, she is actually the perfect embodiment of one of the game theme. You see, while Genealogy is mostly focused on divine bloodline and a continental spaning war, Thracia take step back, being about one rebellion in one province in much smaller map (there a map in Thracia that take place in just one tile of chapter 8 of FE4), and one of it main point is that everyone can be a crusader( Ced just write it out in his chapter 23 dialogue) And here the thing : Deen and Eda are, physically, carbon copy of Dáinn and Njörun, despite having zero holy blood. So does holy blood really matter ? And what does it say about the high and mighty nothern thracian when they founder reincarnation is born in south thracia ?

Also she has a weirdly gay ending

1, 5 and 12?

!!!

Which is your favorite game? How about least favorite?

Favorite! From what I've played, by far Blazing Blade and Genealogy! Blazing Blade has such a lively cast of characters, I love the animations and colors!!! Colors are really important for me! It was also my introduction to the series!

Genealogy - it's just. the sheer. The story is big and there are so many details and I love finding these and picking them apart and well. I've always loved myself a good tragedy. I do wish the characters got more, but honestly it was an snes game.

I'm afraid my least favorite though would have to be fe11, shadow dragon. it's not a bad game really, i just dislike the graphics from what I'd played (though, I was starting to warm up to them), and the reclassing system being so open was... interesting as someone whos only modern fire emblem is engage (and even that was scary.)

Overall not a bad game though.

As for other games though. Three Houses. I've not played it, but the sheer exposure exhausted me and a lot of the fandom is scary. It's also a very big game and personally we don't have the most time.

5. Which titles have you played?

Ah. I'm afraid I've only fully completed a few, and tested the waters on a couple others.

Completed -

Blazing Blade, Sacred Stones Ephraim Route, Engage.

In the middle of -

Genealogy (start of ch5 - yes i know the Happenings.), Binding Blade (ch 7), Mystery of the Emblem (fe3)

Tested the waters of -

Path of Radiance, Shadow Dragon

12. What's your favorite class?

That's a tie between mage/sage and cavalier/paladin (and adjacent for both). I love the mages for the sheer power and color they bring, and I love the cavs and adjacent for their movement and weapon triangle coverage. If they don't have the latter, then they usually make an impression on me another way! (Finn. Alva. Cain fe5.)

Soldiers already were playable in their debut in Fire Emblem Gaiden long before Salem in Thracia 776. The "Loldiers" of FE5, are the lance version of LoL!Archers, which are enemy exclusive from FE4 onwards but have a playable counterpart.

In TRS, Enemy Loldiers still exist as a separate class from playable soldiers just like LOL!Archers and BowFighters, as well as Dragon Riders and Dragon(Wyvern) Knights. Infact TearRing Saga has a whole roster of weak early game enemy counterparts to your classes, with the exception of Pegasus Rider, they all wear the same uniform as Loldiers.

All things considered this makes it weirder that in FE5, there is no playable equivalent to the Soldier. One would really think they'd give you a Lance Armor at least, especially given the unwanted Lance Knights, FE5 constantly throws at you?

Imagine if Kein and Alva were soldiers, than people might actually remember and consider using them if only for the novelty alone, huh?

Gods how could I forgot Gaiden lol

Granted, for thematic purposes, Kein'n'Alva being lance cavs made sense - but yeah I would have wanted a soldier.

Maybe Dalshin or Ralph!

Joyeuses Pâques and all that. When not otherwise occupied with entertaining and nominal displays of reverence (not in this case at the same time, though that’s always fun) my weekend has been taken up with the Project Exile patch for FE5. I’ve gotten up through Chapter 14, because even with Action Replay this game still manages to be a pain to play. Worth noting is that I’ve only encountered one or two notable glitches. The Crusader scrolls are the buggiest parts of the patch, and more than once the game crashed on me when I tried to read the tooltip on one or when the cursor landed on one in the armory. The armory itself has bits of glitchy text fairly often, although nothing else that breaks the game. So far I’ve encountered only one instance of the text wrapping incorrectly as the older patch did rather often, in a cutscene in Chapter 14. It’s still vastly more playable than the older translation. Thoughts on the script:

Like Project Naga, this patch uses a smaller font than the old patch which is much more pleasing to the eye and allows for more text to appear at once. The menus also look smoother as a result.

Most of the character names are faithful to recent localized sources like Heroes, but there’s a few that have been changed that I actually kind of like and hope IS takes a look at again for a remake. Stuff like Safy -> Safiya (sounds like Sophia/”wisdom” while also retaining the similarity to “sapphic” that they really should do something with), Carrion -> Callion, Perne -> Pan, Machyua -> Macha (still not a great name, but at least I have an idea of how to pronounce it), and Cain and Alva -> Kane and Alba (it would not surprise me at all to learn that these guys’ Japanese names are identical to those of the Archanea Christmas knights - and localizers have been doing their best to obscure that bit of laziness ever since)

I never liked the name Manster District, as a district is to me a municipal division and not an entity large and autonomous enough to be its own country. The translator goes for Northern Thracia instead which better expresses the point that both sides think of the peninsula as one entity divided over an extended family squabble over who gets to rule it. The preeminence of Manster is however preserved in a somewhat odd way, when August(us) refers to it as Leif’s “native Manster” while talking (mostly) about the city during the escape sequence. His point is that the Empire is conducting child hunts in the territories they control, including all of Northern Thracia, but it’s odd since Leif is everywhere else identified heavily as a scion of Leonster specifically.

Kempf no longer makes memes, and even more miraculously his battle tactic that gives Chapter 11x its title gets a rename that actually means something. No more Murder Hollace!

The sexual and romantic ambiguities come largely intact. Nanna’s is referred to early on as both Finn’s daughter and his “ward,” a term one normally does not use for biological children. Homer might swing both ways, but nothing is done with Dagdar and Marty and in fact the script implies that Dagdar has the hots for Eyvel earlier on. There’s less of an implied threat of rape in Tina’s introduction, or at least it’s obvious that the only person is implying rape at all is Saf(i)y(a) leaping to conclusions. Finn remains as impossible to parse as ever.

Bit characters like Ronan and Hicks and even generic house NPCs get some much-needed flavor added, in the form of colloquial dialects and slightly stronger character moments. Other highlights include Fergus talking down to Leif and Karin as children (he is a few years older than the rest of the Gen 2 cohort) and Tina commenting on Salem’s dumb hair.

If the script is indeed unfinished I guess I’ll find out in a few chapters, but so far this is really an exemplary work...pasted onto a nightmare of a game.

Is it me or Jugdral’s best mom forgot her pants in Cipher?

:’(

I knew they wouldn’t keep Hirota’s art style but removing pants? meh too about the cool/fashionable tunic Jugdral’s best mom is the “mayor” of a rural village of peasants, unless every peasant put their meager resources together to buy her a fashionable tunic and oh is it a boobplate

at least her pose is dynamic - even if quite frankly i wonder, is it a flag she’s holding? Eyvel doesn’t fight for Leonster’s liberation (or maybe this is a “picture” of Eyvel once she’s been depetrified?). But it’s an Eyvel art and Eyvel art is always appreciated. Always.

Tanya/Tanja’s cool - where are those apples coming from but tbh Nanna’s the best of the three, i love the details on her dress! and her pony rocks 

But hey, at least, no one got hit with the moe hammer and I pray to Naga that no one will even if i’m 100% sure Mareeta will lose her pants too
