[OOC] Fire Emblem: The Motes of Light [Powerpeon & Light]

[Light]

Nah the little kids wouldn't have classes. The King and Queen you can make some kind of promoted Lords if you want. Or just King and Queen.

[Powerpeon]

Did not think I'd have so much to say about King Ardias; feel free to correct contradictions between his bio and any of the lore you came up with so far.

[Light]

Looks fine to me. Sorry It's taking so long to get started.

[Powerpeon]

It's okay; take your time. I was thinking for a moment I was overdoing it. <_<

[Light]

USUALLY I'm super active and writing pages. But I've been making and running a lot of RP's lately both on here and in person with Dungeons and Dragons. My brain is a but fried. Nevertheless, I do have an actual series of plots and narrative ideas for this one, so don't worry.

Just rewarding myself to some ps4 and taking it slow for a few days.

[Powerpeon]

And that is perfectly fine. Besides, Fates is coming out in a week, too. It's gonna be a case of "whelp, looks like everything siezed for a week."

[Light]

Sweet Naga, I know. I work at Best Buy sooo I'm running in at 10am on a day I'm off from work and snagging a copy of both versions for my brother and myself.

[Powerpeon]

And here's hoping Amazon doesn't have supply problems like they did with Awakening.

[Light]

Ehehe just come over here I'll get you a copy and we can play it together XD

[Powerpeon]

Nah, it'll be fine. I hear Fates basically has online multiplayer; I'm going the Nohr route, for a preference of characterization. Also because I don't get Takumi's appeal.

[Light]

If you get the cartridge of either Conquest or Birthright, you can buy the other as well as Revelations as DLC for $20 each.

[Powerpeon]

Yeah. That's essentially what I plan on doing. The premise behind the Nohr campaign makes more sense to me though—without going into too much detail why, it boils down to Corrin knowing his Nohr family a lot more closely—too close to just up and abandon them, asshole dad or not.

[Light]

I'm getting it because I heard it would be more challenging.

[Powerpeon]

I'm not expecting it to be Thracia 776-hard, mostly because the engine isn't built for the sort of dick moves that Thracia had, but if it's as challenging as FE7 or FE9/10, I'd dig it a lot.

I mean, the main difference already is that Hoshido just has open-wandering and grinding.

But hey, we're both Nohr—now the question remains: Male Corrin or Fem Corrin? >=3

Edit: Oh my god I was looking through your items list and you have status effect staves. Ohhhh boy this is gonna be fuun!

[Light]

Male

Yeah I tried to get real in depth with those. Did you see all the spells too?

One does not reclass a King. That's regicide, practically. Maybe. Okay, not really, but the guy's gotta keep his title for life.

@Powerpeon

Lol

[Powerpeon]

FemCorrin here.

Oh yes, I saw the spell list too; nice on adding frost spells, and bringing back Bolting and Purge and not making Eclipse suck as much; Swarm and Mire are such boooooooring Seige spells, after all, and we've been plagued with them for three games now.

A little disappointed with Luna, but then it's one of those tomes that's either the most broken thing in the game (I mean, 1/2 resistance ignored at 0 MT means that it's kind of permanently bad, even with FE7-levels of hit, but not quite Sacred Stones-level of bad because at least you can hit things with 75 hit) or kind if mediocre. I'm nonetheless now officially undecided if I wanna pick up Dark Magic on Catherin when she promotes.

I think I'll leave that up to her character arc, when it unfolds.

[Powerpeon]

Although now that I look at the spell lists, I think dark magic might be the key, since the majority of it seems modeled more after FE7's rendition of Dark Magic —which is to say, the kind incessantly called "ancient magic" and sort of implied to be a Deal With the Devil kind of scenario.

[Light]

Well, post GBA Dark Magic was a little lack-luster. Especially Awakening. I also wasn't too happy with getting rid of Light magic. I've also tried to overall balance the game against magic, since it really is absolutely overpowered in most of the games. The real problem is that everyone has bad resistance. Most classes have fairly decent or better Def save for magicians. But even then, most magicians have only slightly better Res than everyone else. What I did was try to reflect similar levels of Def and Res across the board. Magicians have similar Res values to the Def values of martial classes, and similar Def to their Res values. Just kinda made Res more believable across the board.

IMO as it should be.

[Powerpeon]

I do hope we run into a cool dark magic user of Canas's temperament~.

Edit: because nerdy dark mages are my jam.

Edit no 2: Well, not just nerdy dark mages. Henry was amazing, and with a little bit of rewriting Tharja would have been amazing.

[Light]

Ezeras is supposed to be a scholar of all magics. His base class was Mage and his reclasses will be Monk and Shaman but he's a Sage now.

EDIT
Actually, go look at my character archive. He's in there, but he's normally an elf.
