  1. Woulda been a nice opportunity to give him a character trait that isn't just "I'm extremely generic!" Once again. Recurring plot point. Thanks, Kaga. Ismaire compensates by being like, the most beautiful woman in FE. I almost cannot blame Carlyle. Almost. ...That, and she's a pretty baller swordmaster in the CC with an otherwise unobtainable sword (well you can get it as a rare drop from cyclops in the two dungeons but, details). It's just a shame the main campaign relegated her to Plot Device duties. They even made a special cutscene class that cannot fight for her so she doesn't WTA Caellach's sorry ass. What a damn shame. SS's lategame was rather lacking in prepromotes and she could've slotted right in with her rare sword. And it might've been a good opportunity for some of that coveted Magvel Worldbuilding if the two Jehannan royals could interact longer than 30 seconds. Genealogy is better in this aspect than the entire series, pretty much, except Fates and I think that's it? Female generics are basically nonexistent for most of the games, outside of strictly female-locked classes. This little gang of femme fatales alone puts Genealogy well ahead of the pack in that regard.
  2. Er... Okay, look, listen to me-- Nah but for real the smoking's a real turn off There's also Daniela, with her whole two lines, Candace who's just kind of a jerk, Catalena from RD who's a zealot like the rest of Ashera's faithful, Mitan from Engage who's a generic brigand minus the "ugly as sin" part, Nuibaba after her HRT, and uh... Yeah, there tends to be at least some slight Camus undertones for female enemies. A subtle manner of sexism, perhaps. Women are too pure and delicate to be an ugly evil dumbass like every other bossman, or some shit. That's more PoR being incapable of challenge in general. FE6 has a few really brutal maps and yet decides to hype up the rather mundane map, and specifically, its shitty-ass boss that just gets killed by a mage unable to do anything about it.
  3. Basically this is how I feel about it, as I've made clear before. The setpiece is pretty nice, but the forcefields keeping you from interfering drag the whole thing down. Oh right, and I forgot the stupid fucking forcefields don't even lift immediately after Mahnya's death. You just have to keep on waiting for the game to see fit to let you do things. "She's a really useful hostage, you see. That's why I'm going to do absolutely nothing to use her to keep her allies from murdering us all." Eyy it's my girl. Let's instead discuss the implications that this is a recurring trope for Kaga. Exactly zero, that's how much. Not even combat quotes, like many bosses in Gaiden. Lamia is the first female villainess to get any characterization at all. ...And, truthfully, as far as minor hench(wo)men in this game go, she gets more characterization than most. For the most part they're either "haha bad brigand", "haha bad mercenary" or "I'm just a general guy," but Lamia takes an overt pleasure in being an asshole that isn't there for the rest. More "haha evil mercenary" than "haha bad mercenary." Her brand of arrogance also feels different - a bit more subtle, and mixed in with some sultriness. There's also the fact that she has an all-girls band, which is a pretty unique tidbit. What I'm saying is, it's something. Puts her roughly around Clement as far as bossmen that actually have a personality in this game go (though I'd say Clement is more interesting due to the more grey nature of his situation). Worryingly, it also puts her ahead of more major characters like Lungbait and Report. tl;dr: Lamia cool. "Dragons are truly fearsome beasts. I can't believe we survived this battle. How can we ever win against beasts such as these?!" "Lord Roy, he didn't have a ranged weapon. Even Damas was harder than him." "But, Elphin... Dragons!" "His name was Ein, Lord Roy." I agree. It's nice that Rahna's nice. I'm glad she got to live.
  4. He last visited five hours ago, so he's around, at least.
  5. Kaga realized people prefered to avoid the Silken Knight event and decided he needed to encourage it more.
  6. That moment when Kaga is as good at Fire Emblem as me.
  7. Hey, don't ask don't tell. Yeah, she's a notch above Mr. I.M. "Extremely Insecure" Meen. Gives far less... well, that vibes and more "I genuinely love murder" vibes. Well... Woman's eyes are green Yep, definitely. The guy is very obviously Ignatius, with the identical color palette and similar voice acting. She's a bit more subtle but the color palette's very close as well.
  8. Find someone who loves you as much as Ignatius Mortimer M. loves being a minor troublemaker. You know, like he did.
  9. What if the forecast tells me I'm going to demolish the enemy, then I get there and it turns out I was just going to get a crit and now the battle is much more even and I'm not ready for that? No, I think I'd like an option to have the proper numbers shown to me. Is there such an option or not? And if not, how clear does the game make it when a forecast is the result of a crit, a low hit or any other "volatile" variable like that that could change on a whim of the RNG?
  10. Is there a button I can press to see the RNG-less forecast? If I'm preparing for a battle at a later point in time, I want to know what the chance of it going badly is - whether it'll succeed or not when the units are on opposite sides of the map is of no use to me.
  11. Wait... Oh right, I did see this when I was watching that one person - the RNG is displayed in the battle forecast, right? It just tells you if the fight's going to miss, if you'll get a crit and whatnot. Thinking back, it seemed... pretty damn unclear, to the point where the person playing struggled for a couple minutes before it hit her that her damage was weird because she was getting a heal mid-battle lol
  12. But you have to commit once you go into a battle, right? At that point you're just hoping whatever you send into combat can square up. I see. Very well, then.
