I tried starting up a Lunatic Classic run, and I died in the tutorial fight when missing a 94% chance to hit... This is a very fast rage quit from me, but I don't need this stress in my life right now.

Oh god, I can't count the number of times this kind of crap has happened to me. What was wrong with True Hit? Why, Intsys? D:

I swear that not only is Fates' RNG operating on a cursed algorithm, but that it's retroactively cursed the RNGs of all my other Fire Emblem games. I put down Fates for TWO DAYS to beat Radiant Dawn, and somehow Mia got two three-percent crits in a row, followed by having to restart an Awakening level a couple days later because Chrom missed a 95% hit.

On that note, why was Awakening's early-game so deadly? It was practically impossible to get through one turn without somebody's HP getting knocked into the red.

Because you literally had about five people in any given mission.

[JoshuaFH]

Because you weren't abusing Frederick.

[SOLDIER First]

Frederick abuse isn't necessary after the first few levels, though. Until you can reliably grind people (aka when you always outlevel Risen teams on the first few chapters) he's an enormous EXP black hole, despite his usefulness.

Because you weren't abusing Frederick.

I'm still used to adding Seth to my regular team around Chapter 13 or so and using Baitgan as a distraction, I guess.

The older games taught me too well ;_;

You want to talk about FE RNG?  The first English FE game for GBA, the one with no subtitle, my brother solved the RNG through intuition.  He could tell me, reliably, when people would hit and when they would crit.  We were like 12

how

[JoshuaFH]

12 yr old brains are basically tiny supercomputers.

He's not a black hole if you unequip all his weapons and let the AI attack him because he can't fight back.

[Neonivek]

Play Rekka no Ken.

What is that some sort of Fire Emblem game that takes place in the MUCH more interesting Fire Emblem past that a large number of their games hype up?

[SOLDIER First]

It's a prequel to Binding Blade, actually. You play as Roy's dad (or his friend, or his other friend who is a girl (but lots of people say the latter's story is essentially just an Extreme Handholding Simulator)) and you get to choose whose story you want to focus on, with them all being different.

He's not a black hole if you unequip all his weapons and let the AI attack him because he can't fight back.

But then you have a crowd of enemies who are more than happy to go after your vulnerable non-Frederick units the next turn, and if Frederick isn't killing some of the enemies he aggros it's a little pointless.

[Twinwolf]

The friend-who-is-a-girl's story is pretty much a long tutorial. Which you have to do before you can get on with the main story.

[SOLDIER First]

ergo extreme handholding simulator

[Nighthawk]

Wait, you guys are talking about Fire Emblem 7, right?

Yeah, Lyn's story is most definitely a big ol' tutorial. But she shows up and becomes playable in the other stories, too, so it's not like she's neglected.

FE7 is awesome, though. You get to simultaneously use three lords. Three.
