The FE12 Lord Promotion Rant
Jun. 4th, 2010 10:11 pmAs soon as FE12 was announced, the whining commenced. Marth, it seems, needs a promotion this time. Or Ike's stat caps from FE9, whichever.
Uh, yeah. How 'bout not?
Now, if it were purely an issue of weaponry, I could get behind it. Marth is at a disadvantage being locked to swords, and in FE11 his terrible MAG growth made him darned near incapable of getting use out of the Levin Sword, which meant he was locked to Melee combat. Er, melee combat. So allowing him to use something else-- I don't care if it's STAVES-- would be a boon. Bows, lances, the Star Rod from the Kirby games... yeah, I can see the advantage.
But no, people appear to be obsessed with the idea of promotion in and of itself. That, and the damned horse.
( That's Fin on the horse there. Use your imagination. )
