Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Was Engage one of the FE games that had really poorly TL'd supports?
I've seen a few JP supports thrown around as bad TLs but they don't seem nearly as bad as Fates.

I'm really inconsistent on this
I hate localization, full stop. But we've lost that fight and changing lines about what food some character was cooking in their support doesn't bother me that much
Part of that might be that I just don't find most supports that special in FE games
There are good ones, but it's the minority
honestly true
Other Eastern RPGs do so much more, that it's surprising FE is still so old school
I feel like you can do a good SRPG story without having to re-invent the systems
maybe asking for good story and good characters together is a little more rare, but it's not beyond them
It's not on PC, Vanillaware is teasing they might finally port it
I'd like a good SRPG story, if FE wants to be basic, fine, but they put so much effort into all the non-gameplay stuff and it's only ever "decent"
Replying to taxes #tzfi I think Mauvier and Zephia are interesting despite everything the issue is mostly the fact it's important character+two retainers slop
Also, I didn't respond to this, but I really hate the retainer thing. I pretty much never end up caring about the retainers. They're usually non-characters compared to their lord.
