Finally beat Conquest and started Revelations. I thought Lunatic/Casual would be fun.

I was so, so wrong.

Yeah, a dead character isn't dead, but there are way, wayyyy too many enemies and all of them seem to have amazing stats despite being really low level (and thus giving awful amounts of xp). Rather than turtling extremely hard to keep anyone from dying, I'm now turtling extremely hard to keep literally everyone from dying.

Might switch down to Hard/Casual at this rate.

Lunatic's practically impossible if you aren't completely sure what you're doing at all times. A guide might help.

Finally finished collecting all the kids. They're... interesting. Most of the ones I have are broken as hell--the only ones I can think of who are worse than their parents are Ignatius (because he can't match his dad's, like, 50 defense), Selkie (Hana as a mother gives her piss-poor Strength), and maybe Kana because I went for a +Magic build making Nohr Noble and dragonstone usage viable. My favorites are probably Shiro--I managed to get a roughly 60% chance of Rend Heaven onto him--and Ophelia, because she has a roughly 75% chance of getting a critical hit at all times thanks to Mjolnir. I'm still looking for skills and supports to crank that up to 100% or so... I hear you can get it over 100 if you do it just right.

Also, is it just me, or does Mitama's portrait look screwed up? Her head looks like half as big as everyone else's.

Additionally, whoever voiced Nichol, show yourself! I know you're somewhere around here! the joke is that his defeat line is "it was inevitable"

[Tawa]

Sorry to doublepost, but has anyone around here found isolated versions of the critical hit cut-ins, without any faces?

Holy WTFbar, the Fire Emblem Fates/Conquest story sucks donkey balls, when you make a character like the Avatar the main character.

The Avatar's personality is the equivalent of cowpie.  To be fair, I really don't like the Avatar's personality type. 

What set me off is one of the support conversations with the blue haired singer girl.  Avatar killed an assassin the first time around, then the 2nd time, Avatar freezes, unable to kill the second one cause of guilt.

It was already bad enough in the storyline where the Avatar 'wins battles by not killing anyone'.  Gets to have their cake and eat it.
What a world, where you can use weapons made for killing against fodder and weaklings competent enemies and not kill any of them.  Won't even give a nod to life changing injuries that are likely to happen...

Seriously, they could have done something with that.  Make it a conscious decision of the player.  Lunatic mode could well be using only non-lethal weapons.

@Chapter 13

... Ogre Tactics is still the gold standard.

Beruka: "You won't survive this!" *Crits*
Enemy: *Death scream*
Corrin: "Actually, you didn't really kill him, because killing is wrong."

> Trained assassin
> Never holds back
> Promises the enemy will die
> Lies

Damn it, Beruka. You're supposed to take your Killer Axe... and KILL!

[Haspen]

But don't you know, people die when they're killed, therefore killing is wrong .<'

I thought that killing would make them like me, but it doesn't.  It just makes them dead!

[Nighthawk]

Hilariously, the story would have a heck of a lot more weight to it (and thus be vastlyslightly improved) if the characters actually admitted that they were killing all these people in order to eventually end the war. I would be a lot more invested seeing Corn question his choices when his journey toward peace is littered with corpses. It's an old conflict, yeah, but at least it's compelling.

If they really wanted to go the extra mile, they could make it so that in the Conquest/Birthright routes, you legitimately kill the lead units. Corn would be straight up killing his own family for the sake of those that he chose to side with.

On top of adding a whole lot of drama, that would also give the rest of the lead units a PROPER reason to fight you. You'd be getting toward the end-game, and the last of them would be like, "You betrayed your family. You killed my brothers and sisters. Now I will kill you."

I dunno about you guys, but I would feel pretty conflicted about what I was doing at that point.

[SOLDIER First]

That is a much better story idea, but there's the problem that the entire point of Revelations is uniting everyone, so if you're legitimately killing them (which is mandatory to recruit half of the characters in Revelations) it's a little difficult to pull off.
