FE13: Paralogues 11 & 17

mark_asphodelOr, I've recruited Wednesday Addams and The Batman.
First off, may I say how beautiful it is to see Lucina Aether the shit out of something with a Bronze Lance? Yes. Very nice. Also, she and Henry!Inigo make a most attractive couple; Inigo's in-battle moves and voice make him quite the appealing young man.
So, the Nah Paralogue took FOREVER on account of the goddamned magic walls. That was tedious as hell; I finally began having Anna burn through the Rescue Staff just to move people along. It made a good testing grounds for little Trickster Morgan and her lock-picking skills, though. Nah herself is a nice kid, though in between the clothes, super-serious demeanor, the braids, and the crumbling haunted manor, I couldn't help but think of Wednesday Addams. Her dynamic with her parents is refreshing for not being gooey and accepting; she's exasperated with Nowi in a "my mom is a stupid hippy" way and takes on her father over what the hell he saw in Nowi to start with and why did they ever get married. Like I said before, it's nice to see the Gen 1/ Gen 2 thing develop in ways that FE4 didn't go.
Kjelle is possibly my favorite FE armorknight ever. Pairing Up with Mom, Dad, and Sis works wonders in this.
So after recruiting Nah, I dragged my also-rans off for a Champions of Yore run to work on making Maribell/Lon'qu and Libra/Tharja sprogs to complete my set. I guess I'll need to make a Gaius/Sumia baby, too, as IIRC I've used up all other her potential suitors. Oh, and there's the whole Ricken/Panne thing I abandoned halfway through. The CoY 1 map produced Titania's Axe and Finn's Lance, so I'm making real headway on the legacy weapons collection now.
I do like Lon'qu and his supports with Maribell have been cute enough so far. I just haven't really needed him since Lucina showed up, and now I have a glut of little swordies running around, so he got relegated to the B-team. And Maribell has been a damn liability because troubadours can't fight back in this. Meh.
Ricken, by the way, was my first unit to hit Lvl 20 promoted (I haven't been messing around with Second Seals on this playthrough) and he's pretty frickin' solid. I had a feeling he'd turn out well and I'm very happy with him, but right now I'm trying like hell to get my other tome users some Exp.
I toyed with the idea of REALLY leveling my B-team on the Gerome Paralogue, but that shit turned out to be A-team only. And how. Fortunately this was the precise point at which Cordelia hit Lvl 15 and got Galeforce or I don't think all the villagers would've lived. (Cordy/Stahl continues to be adorable and unstoppable). In between Cordy's bag of tricks, Anna's abuse of the Levin Sword, and the fact that Henry got some Elwind crits and even doubled a few beasties, we all made it through that chapter on the fourth try. I cannot imagine what that shit's like on Lunatic. Morgan and her mother were pretty adorable fighting together; their supports are kinda weird but they look so damn cute.
Oh yes, Gerome. Um... so, apparently he's The Batman? Mask. Dead parent angst. The stagey voice. Did I mention angst? Again, props for not being all soppy over a reunion with his parents, but even so I'm glad I wasn't planning to pair him with Lucina or anything like that. -_-
OK. I guess I'll abuse my C-team and B-team on CoY again, then get my A-team ready for Chapter 20. Fun.

Date: 2013-02-18 03:20 pm (UTC)Damn. I knew he was in the game, but I always associate him with Kain, so it's hard to imagine him doing someone that doesn't read as. . . well, Kain-like, I guess.

Date: 2013-02-18 11:42 am (UTC)I was wondering how in hell he could've been so much worse than others on the team with the exact same speed. Note to self-- force-feed him stat boosters on the front end.

Date: 2013-02-19 12:59 am (UTC)Inigo is really absurdly suave; he's also really grown on me from his supports too. I will say that Gerome's paralouge was pretty much the absolute bitchiest and I fully abused Galeforce wielding Mummy/Daughter combo of Cordelia/Severa
