FE4/5, Continued
Jun. 12th, 2012 07:15 pmAfter completing the Prologue, I have only this to say:
<3 <3 Azel <3 <3
He does get some crap level-ups, though.
As for Sigurd... holy cow. It's like having Seth as your main character. If he can't literally ride farther, hit harder, and kill stuff better than every other unit, it sure seems like it. No wonder he thought he could rescue Adean (Aideen?) single-handedly. I did manage to get him killed in Verdane, though.Dammit, Ayra. I was beginning to think he was immune to everything except the plot.
So far I quite like the gameplay... the huge maps and masses of enemies would make this infuriating without the save function, but there is something very engaging so far in dealing with the character skill sets when it comes to fending off those masses of enemies.
As for FE5... dammit, how on earth does that Chapter 2 boss die? He's as annoying as Hyman in FE11, except with no convenient save point to make resetting easier. Do I have to give Evayle her Fire Sword back and let her handle him? I don't want to. :(
Leaf is probably going to eclipse Marth for "Number of Times I Have Seen the Game Over Screen." I can feel it.

Things that are not Fire Emblem: reading The Blind Assassin. Excellent book. It took a while to get my head around the story-within-a-story, but once I got into that, all was well. Very Canadian, but I'm into that sort of thing.
Also, Radiohead played the Detroit area last night for the first time since 1997. In other words, back when OK Computer was their hot new album, which really came home as they were doing "Karma Police" during the second encore. It was a brilliant, brilliant show, with both encores entirely deserved, spoiled only by the usual sort of shitty "fan" the Palace of Auburn Hills attracts. I hate that venue.
-x-
Playing games works its way into my dreams like few other forms of media. The night before last I dreamed about, of all things, Lex and Azel. Just... whatever.
