Agro Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 After thinking it over, taking away the weapon durability is probably going to add more strategy to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I mean, let's be honest, was it ever really an issue enough to affect strategy all that much? I don't remember it being so outside of certain instances like the Dawn Brigade in RD lacking funds, and even then it was a minor hindrance at worst. Also, I really like the look of this unnamed Brave Hero: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 That's it, basically. At this point it's only in the game because that's one of the two things Fire Emblem is known for... I mean besides permadeath... which is what phoenix mode takes away lol. But yeah, this sounds more interesting. No more putting my best unit out in the middle of nowhere so they can massacre the entire opposing team when they all run at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I think it'll be cool. Before, weapons were pretty much a straight tier system and you tossed the weaker ones away and never looked back unless you needed to train a low Weapon Mastery level, now it'll be better to pick and choose depending on what downsides the stronger weapons have.

Also, I really like the look of this unnamed Brave Hero: Hmm, yeah thinking about it that's true. I kinda...idk, I just liked the idea of limited supplies. But I guess it never really was limited. I suppose the idea of it was more what I liked. Also yes. That character. He kinda looks like a cheesy stereotypical American movie star and I love it.

Agro Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Fire Emblem really does a good job of getting the character design to match the personality. Though you could also argue that's a bad thing for stereotyping reasons, but still. Pretty cool that I can look at these characters right now and be like: We're gonna get along. I'm not gonna get along with this guy. Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 As long as he doesn't end up someone like Zapp Brannigan or something, I really want to like this guy. I can't think of anyone in Awakening who's character I didn't like, though, so hopefully they'll do as good a job of making everyone likable in If as well.

I would love it if he was just Zapp Brannigan. More from a comedy standpoint than an actual standpoint, but I would still like it if they had a gag character like him.

Agro Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I didn't like Vaike, so you can imagine how I'd feel towards this guy, who looks like the kind of dude that would take Vaike and Inigo's worst traits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 They've clearly brought back Captain N's Simon Belmont. Though if we're talking gag characters, I'd want Gaston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Characters now have character-specific skills locked in no matter their class, I've been wanting something like that for awhile, so that's cool. The guy's name is Harold. He fights with the belief that he’s a hero of justice; his one flaw is his exceptionally bad luck. I like it. EDIT: So of course there's already Harold appreciation out on the internet, and I see someone mention he should be voiced by Patrick Warburton. That would be amazing.

FUCK Characters now have character-specific skills locked in no matter their class, I've been wanting something like that for awhile, so that's cool. So if this makes different characters better for different things, then this is very very good, because Awakening had issues with specific skills needing to be on every character to make them good, essentially.

I wonder though. Cause it says the Parallel Seal doesn't change level, so will we not be able to max everyone's stats in this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Exactly. You can go back and forth between classes of the same tier, so you're not stuck with a class change if you end up not liking it, and (I assume) it will allow you to get skills of all the branches, but you can no longer return to an earlier level to further increase your stats. Honestly, I like it. Second Seals made the game way too easy since you could make everyone incredibly strong, and made the completionist in me want to train everyone to their full potential, so this will simplify my training like in the old games.

Hmm, yeah no second seal is fine by me. I never reclassed anyway. Except to make Vaike a Barbarian and end the game with max HP without even trying. XD I like Harold, seems like a fun character to write. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Yup. Well, so much for her being the waifu.Then again, there's also Felicia and Kazahana. I'll take either the maid or the sword-wielding bodyguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Something I wanted to point out... Second seals are still there they just got renamed to Parallel Seals o.o" Unless I misunderstood something Parallel Seals can only change you from class to class within the same tier (like switching between Paladin and Great Knight), while maintaining your same level. So you can't infinitely train a unit to max their stats anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
