Hey there handsome... Oops, I must go!

Wait a second, can I join your team, mr.hottie?

Well that escalated quickly. So much for "the newer games have some awkward S ranks".

Enemies are getting threatening enough that I'm remembering my incredible hate for same-turn reinforcements. There are absolutely the worst, I don't know why they brought them back, but thank Naga that they got rid of them again.

There are no cases of non-BS reinforcements though!
I can't make informed positioning decisions if I don't know when or where or what kind of units will be appearing. Giving me a vague "This chapter has reinforcements!" does nothing because I can't adequately plan around them unless I already know the details of their existence. I'd be cool with them if there was something indicating they were coming and what kind of units they were but if I was unable to attack them, but I don't think it's a scrub thing to not memorize what units come out of which staircases on which turns.
FE6 chapter 7's are okay because they should just be a "you don't want to fight these so push hard enough to not have to deal with them but they're still kind of BS because you don't know the turn they'll show up.
On a more positive note Robin now has all stats except Mag/Luck/Res capped so that's cool.

20, but I was complaining about that one map with the Valkyrie boss, I don't remember the number.

but chapter 17's reinforcements are incredibly obvious!
and that's one of the best maps in the game too

I mean, they obviously come from from the staircases but I still don't know which staircases on which turn with what kind of enemies or how long they'll come for.

Elincia R and R+.
that silly bold text in the R+ version is reminding me of mega pokemon cards lol
Yeah, I thought it was fine when somebody like Cynthia had it, but not every character needs it.

Playing through the first Fire Emblem on GBA, pretty much my first game in this series. Have some quick questions:
1.I just beat Lyn's story but sadly Rath bit the bullet in a very unlucky last attack by Lundgren in chapter 10. The story credits state that he slips out unseen since he was defeated. I have been doing a bit of reading since Eliwood's story just started and, without spoiling myself too much, I found out Rath returns in chapter 21. However, does that still happen if he was defeated during Lyn's story? Or any other characters by that matter?
2. Connected to the first, I am now aware that units can actually die in Eliwood's story if defeated. That's a very interesting mechanic for a game but is it really recommended for a first time playthrough to not save scum? I can see how the attachment to characters can develop and it makes deaths hit harder, especially if they are decently leveled up (not too disimilar to a Pokemon Nuzlocke challenge).

Eh? What patch are you using? I'm pretty sure that translation should be fine in the old popular paych, although apperently there have been newer patches made recently.
1. I'm pretty sure that characters that fall in Lyns story do return for Eliwood's story.
2. There's nothing wrong with playing straight through FE7 without reseting for characters, and I enjoy those sorts of runs for exactly why you said (it's Nuzlocke-ish in hoe it feels). It's not common though, and some may argue it's not that great on a first playthrough unless you feel comfortable with the mechanics.

I'm playing the new patch that came out quite recently.
As it turns out, the only one that isn't translated is the conversation that occurs if you let him approach you first. If Sigurd approaches him the conversation plays just fine.

man more artbooks i can't (reasonably) get my hands on
He has 5 right now (2 in the first Tellius set 1 Starter Exc, 1 Promo and this new one), still nowhere near Azura or Corrin territory (on the stream they had to promise no more Corrin or Azura cards in the two new sets featuring Fates cards). He's probably getting a R version like Elincia; in this set driving it up to six.
Basically, if you're a popular character from a setting or a royal in the case of Fates, you're getting assloads of cards.
Yeeeeeeeees.
Kind of tired of all the Fates stuff (they've been in what, 4 sets now?) but finally FE7!
Since the top 6 characters on the old character poll were Nino, Eliwood, Hector, Raven, Matthew, Lyn... Matthew SR card pleaseeee. With good art.

What old character poll?
Pretty sure Rath slips out unseen anyways. I believe if a unit dies in Lyn's story, they still return in Eliwood's, but have their stats reset or something like that. I don't know the details, but I think some people intentionally kill their units at the end of Lyn's story if they don't like their growths.
Yeah, it will be 4 out of 7 sets, and they take up two of the seven factions in game so far (Archanea, Ylisse, Hoshido, Nohr, Tellius, Elibe, Jugdral). They'll also have ~125 cards for each faction while the others will have ~100 except for Jugdral's ~50.

lol fuck Est archetypes
Also what are those star ratings supposed to be? They were there for FE6 too.

Looking at google translate, it is something about "Men support rate" and "Women support rate".
I assume it is some approximation of how well they did in the polls, separated by gender.

how popular they were among male and female fans
so blame the guys for wanting to raise another est

hmm I wonder, how many of the old games have these character polls
(although with every character adding up to 6 stars you can't actually see, let's say, Eliwood vs Hector's support among males, lame)

only one i know of is FE6's (hell, didn't even knew FE7 had one until now)

I don't think the FE8 site has a poll, but the early build screens contain a few small interests
Like the shaman and myrmidon that don't appear here in the final game
and early GK graphics (as well as the FE7 UI)
Is that implying Marisa and Knoll were suppose to appear earlier? pretty interesting if so.
IIRC there's also an early screen of FE7's Lyn mode that has a warrior present in the last chapter of Lyn mode. Somewhere. If I find it I'll show it.

Chapter 23 proved difficult to have Robin solo rout as a Dark Flier because of the assassins so I tried out Sorcerer to see what all this Nostank hype is about

Wait, I thought you were trivializing the entire game with Sorc + Nostank up until now?
You don't even need Galeforce to break it; just stick Robin in the middle of the map, mash start and win
