You have the Blue Lion

The Jaspar Lion

He's only the Jaspar Lion because Rigels logo is a lion and theyre red And I think... the lion iconography is just all invented by the remake anyways

Almost like it's one of the best remakes a game could ask for

Crazy how you can go from the world building of Fates

to the worldbuilding of SoV

And if they ever remake fates, you can bet they will not care about the fact that the original manuscript was like

1000000s pages

condensed into that short game

Will they make Eirikas route fun

NO

It still cracks me up

he has no voice

in engage

and is just... there.

My headcanon is that he's actually not real

and is Eirikas tulpa

in NA it's SUPER awkward

because

they removed the petting

but they didnt remove the cutscene

so

the cutscene just plays

like you pet them

so you see their face

they say a line

sometimes a line about how you touched them

and then it just ends

They won't do this but

they'll make sure to rmeove

corrin and azura being cousins

The entire game is incest but youre not actually related to anyone

the only person youre related to

both (two) of them die at the end of conquest/birhtright

(though you can still have a kid with azura)

ignore the fact that lilith is your only actually REAL sibling

in the game full of sibling fucking

still the best gameplay in the franchise by far though

pair up in awakening is bad

really bad

pair up in fates is really good

why don't you like it

I think it's pretty smart way to give you 20 units without making it so that maps become you having giant chunks of units swarming in a deathball It also gives a use to units that can't reach something this turn, but it makes you think about their positioning

I mean that's fair but you lose SO MUCH damage by using a character as a stat backpack. You only really do it on characters that are incredibly strong already and just need a bit of extra speed/str/def or another point of mov You can also just not engage with that part of the mechanic. It's better that unless your unit is going to be taking a lot of hits in a turn, to ALWAYS seperate

because you gain a LOT of damage

There's alot of strategy because the fact that enemies can use pairups against you, for you to pair up when you're going to get hit by a lot of enemies to cut the damage down massively

Well for birthright you don't want anyone but Ryoma paired up. Unles you use Hinoka with a super big def unit and guard nagi, but she's better as a buff bot lol For conquest Camilla benefits from a strong backpack yea, but you need to think about who you're pairing her with, and make sure that unit is getting used, and for a lot of the early game you don't have the unit slots to dedicate someone to backpack only, so its better to use her to fly a unit then seperate then attack seperate. Leo does not want a backpack like takumi, and Xander wants a backpack no question

Pairing makes a lot of backpack descions hard unless you do not care about pairing whatsoever

Yeah, but you can think about them as lego pieces that are a lot stronger together than seperate, you can still seperate them. If I'm building Wyvern Elise+Odin, for the early game yeah I'm going to backpack elise into odin a lot, and have them be together a lot, but there's scenarios like conquest chapter 10 when I'd say want Odin to go on the left side all by himself
