Maybe one day, we'll get a fully voiced remake of Sacred Stones. I REALLY wish they keep the same VA for Valter.

@MetaMario:

Hahahaha! I've seen that role mentioned, apparently the replacement isn't as good?

Bailey has voiced Lucina for a significant amount of time - Awakening, Smash 4, Codename Steam, Project X Zone 2, first round of Heroes - so I'm glad there's a very-convincing soundalike to take up the role. I believe Tipton is her understudy; she even took over the role of Kid Trunks for Dragon Ball Super.

Wait, Project x Zone 2 was dubbed in english?

@Ruin:

you did recruit Oliver, didn't you?

Nobody recruit Oliver.

Oliver recruits himself

So why is is Corrin x Xander an option when they have plenty of conversations in their own game as it is, and why is it only barely behind Matthew Mercer x Matthew Mercer (obviously the japanese fanbase doesn't give a crap about that but still)

At least the original characters aren't getting the love they don't deserve.

Got back on Echoes to have some fun with reclassing and actually beat Thabes Labyrinth and forgot how fun the game could get.

Used one of Forsyth for lulz (the guy is trying so hard! he deserves another chance!) and he ended up a surprisingly good gold knight.
Made Mathilda a falcon knight and she was more of the same with the added bonus of flight and ORKO almost all terrors.
Then I made Est a mage because most characters of her archetype are this class anyway. That and letting her have more level-ups to make use of her growth rates.

On the other hand, the DLC characters turned out pretty underwhelming, gameplay wise at least. Seeing how they're pre-promotes and in many cases have lower stats than their class bases, I couldn't get any use out of them (granted, this is post-game)

@MetaMario:

Part 2 is done.
[hide]
Short and sweet, I like that it focused on the other side of post-war Tellius - an inexperienced Elincia trying her best and dealing with rebellion and distrust. Elincia as a unit is pretty damn useful - flying + healing + Amiti is OP.
Honorable mention goes to Haar, who is nearly unkillable.

Unfortunately, the main drawback is that units rotate around a lot, whereas part 1 had a consittent roster.
-I wanted to give Marcia and Astrid as much EXP as I could but I suspect they're gonna be mediocre later on.
-Laguz were already kinda disadvantaged in PoR, so here Lethe and Mordy sadly do not fare any better. They did whatever damage was needed of them.
-Kieran is completely solid (and better than Makalov, who can't double a damned thing), but he needs a little more speed. Geoffrey is one of your best units in part 2, and as such he carried most of his titular map.
-As for Neph and Brom, the latter was essential in plugging the eastern side in Elincia's Gambit. The former helped Haar to the west via Javelin finishing down the ledges. HOWEVER, Nephenee has gotten strength screwed. An energy drop had to be used to get her to 18 str, which is shaky. I will focus more exp on her later.
-Leanne was refresher/10. Thank goodness for battle saves; a Wind Edge killed her on one try. And Nealuchi was more useful than Lethe and Mordy, but still limited in the same laguz way.
-Danved is not Devdan.

On turn 12, I decided to go for the kill; Haar chipped Ludveck and Elincia Amiti'd him to death, which fits.

And after that cool cutscene (ps. everyone except Shinon has lol for voice acting), it's time for part 3, where the game really gets interesting. The only complaint is that the war against Begnion doesn't seem like as natural of a flow, narratively, as Pelleas's rise to king led to part 2.

Oh yeah, Ike and pals. Let's see.

they nerfed Mist into the ground ;_;[/hide]

The Greil Mercenaries' return is still one of my favorite moment of Fire Emblem.

Astrid got nerfed so badly in Radiant Dawn, to the point of being unusable. This game just too wasn't kind to cavaliers period.

And Haar can beat the game by himself.

Good old Fiona. Can't damage with an iron lance, can't aim with a javelin and struggles to lift a steel lance. And the game is so kind to her that nearly half of the maps in her route screw over cavaliers.

What played the biggest part in making Radiant Dawn difficult is that nearly half of Micaiah's units are worthless.

Wham bam, it's time for another adventure. Came today in the mail, ~2 weeks after I had got PoR!

Hope you enjoy it! I think it has a few issues, but it's still one of my favorite in the series. Easily the most ''epic'' out of all games that made it overseas.

Finished Shadows of Valentia, the main story that is. Final Boss was a tad tricky. My mages could deal a crapton of damage but they couldn't handle the counterattack. Luckily, I managed to lure him to attack Genny's crappy summons instead.

Might just be one of my favorite Fire Emblem. The characters have enough personality to make them distinct from one another and the support conversations actually felt natural.

Trying to get through the bonus dungeon now. It gets unbearably hard after the halfway point but it has some very interesting lore.

@Jabberwok:

You killed Shinon? Boo!

Not that I use him, but still.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

Also Cecilia is just FE6 Marcus with magic and quite frankly a disgrace to Pent and all of Etruria.

The worst thing about killing Shinon means you miss the base conversation in which he's drunk off his ass.

@S.C.:

Well, except the Duma Faithful.

Heck, at least they're motivated by something. Jedah genuinely belives he's doing good by shaping the world into what Duma considers utopic.

Garon, Hans and Iago seemingly only lived for no other reason than making poor widdle Corrin sad.
