When you're in the mood to fill out surveys
I'm in my office with Steve while he debugs some code that Cute Coworker Joe, now demoted to Jerkhead Coworker Joe, kindly left for me to deal with. Meanwhile, I'm fidgety and in the mood for filling out surveys so here's a hundred-question one for Fire Emblem 7 lovers that I stole from The Wind in the Grass, a Lyn/Eliwood fan site.
1. Name, please?
Anne.
2. How long have you been playing FE?
Since sometime before finals last semester. I know this because it distracted me from them quite nicely.
3. Have you played the entire FE series?
Nope, just FE 7 and a little of FE 6.
4. Seeing how Rekka no Ken is set 20 years before Fuuin no Tsurugi, have you finished the latter before playing? If so, how many times?
I haven't really played Fuuin. Roy gives me hives.
5. Give us the name of your Rekka no Ken one and only favourite character, please.
Matthew. <3
6. What’s the charm in that person?
Matthew is the stereotypical gentleman thief that I love so much. He's clever, witty, and also very caring - he did save Guy's life and he's totally in love with Leila. I love how he looks out for Hector, too. I find that when I write FE fanfiction I keep being drawn back to Matthew because I love to be inside his head; it's such a rich place to be.
7. Enter your three favourite Rekka no Ken guys.
Matthew, Hector, Lucius.
8. Enter your three favourite Rekka no Ken girls.
Vaida, Rebecca, Louise.
9. Who’s the strongest character on your first playthrough?
The first time? My Wil was wicked strong. He would kill bosses all by himself. I must've gotten really lucky, because I've never had anyone that good since (with the exception of Hector the Broken).
10. Who turned out to be the weakest character, despite your best efforts?
I would say Lowen, but I never gave him my best efforts. I'm going to have to say Nino. I *tried* dammit...
11. Do you use the arena often?
Not really. I'm playing on the cart so it's not easy to exploit and I'm always nervous about characters dying.
12. How’s the tutorial in Lyn’s part?
Lyn hard is fine. I wish her story was longer.
13. What did you choose for the strategist’s name the first time around?
My own name, Anne.
14. What do you think about the name of the first boss, Bug?
He bugs.
15. Do Sain and Kent turn out like you’ve imagine them to be?
They're really cute together. Kent is such a tightass that Sain brings out the best in him. I love the idea of Sain playing Cyrano to Kent and Lyn.
16. You think Serra and Erk really disliked each other?
I think they were attracted to each other but really, they are just both too bitchy to ever make it work. Though if anyone can lighten up his angst, she can.
17. State your wild ideas on why Florina hates men, please.
Ooh, wild ideas eh? I think she has a Miranda-like complex, where she was raised exclusively around strong women and has never really had much experience with men... to her they are very different and strange. I also think she may be a little bit gay... maybe just a little.
18. Do you think the sudden ending of Lyn’s part is odd?
Eh, it's fine considering it's not the real story.
19. Were you annoyed at Wallace’s forced promotion?
Sure, but you can choose not to in hard mode.
20. How the heck did Dorcas and Natalie ever fall in love?
Dorcas is really quiet but I think he's not really *stupid* like Bartre is. He's got that 'protect my loved ones' thing going and I can see how she'd be attracted to that. Their relationship is really sweet, I think.
21. Did you level Bartre up on your first time around?
No, I hated him actually.
22. Hector and Eliwood get their support talks really fast, don’t they?
Yeah, but that makes sense. They've known each other forever.
23. Hector-Eliwood-Lyn...who’s the strongest of them all?
Hector. Without a doubt. The man is a beast.
24. Not counting Wallace, who’s your first class changed character?
The first time through it was Raven, Oswin, and Erk.
25. Did you inadvertantly kill Darts off your first time playing chapter 16 Gaiden?
Nope. I avoided most of those pirates like the plague.
26. And on the same note, did you attack Fargus?
No, but I've always wanted to. ^^;
27. Did you go to the rumored Chapter 19 special?
Not yet, but I'm on it! Currently working my way through Hector hard after doing the Nils level 7 thing. I can't wait to see it.
28. Who did you use the Afa Drops on in your first game?
I always give it to Lucius. He becomes pretty godly.
29. Did you find every treasure in the Nabata desert in your first run?
No, and I still haven't. I did manage to get the Light Sword on my first playthrough though.
30. When you meet Fa in the house in the Nabata desert... what do you think she’s doing there in the middle of nowhere?
I have no idea. I thought she might be related to Hawkeye somehow.
31. Did you know Vyda can be recruited, or did you just kill her outright?
Missed her completely. Then I eventually figured it out.
32. Did you manage to rescue Nino and Jaffar safely the first time around?
No, I just got Nino. I was confused and that level was hard.
33. What do you think of the Assassin class?
The best class I think. Just all around good and the chance for an instant kill makes them wonderful. Pretty much strictly better than swordmasters, who are pretty good too.
34. With all those uproar about Jafar being a lolicon, how old do you think he really is?
I think he's actually quite young. Like 16 or 17. That might explain part of why he's dealing with all these emotional issues and things. Damn puberty screwing up your heartless angel of death.
35. Ursula’s Thunderstorm is quite cool, eh?
Yeah, she's pretty good.
36. Do you wish Ursula can be on your team?
Yes and no. Since she's pretty much evil, I'm not sure I'd really want her around. But she *is* really good in the way that Priscilla will never be. Alas!
37. Is there any character in the Black Fang that you wish can join your team?
Linus and Lloyd!! Uhai would also be cool because he'd have some neat synergy with Lyn and Rath, I think.
38. Do you think Lloyd and Linus are powerful? Who dealt the finishing blow?
Yes, and in Hector's route they are downright broken. It's always *really* close when I'm killing Lloyd, usually I have to surround him and hope nobody misses. Actually I think Eliwood dealt the killing blow last time I played.
39. Who did you give the Dark Contract to the first time around?
Legault, because I didn't like Matthew. Man was I wrong.
40. Who did you take with you in the final chapter?
The five defaults and Lucius, Canas, Florina, Vaida, Pent, Oswin, Sain... Umm... can't remember exactly.
41. Did you use Athos before he finally croaked?
Yeah, I had to. *sheepish*
42. What do you think about Ninian’s resurrection?
I think it spoils a perfectly good and well-done death scene. It really disappointed me the first time, because I didn't have an A support with her and Eliwood and I was expecting her to just stay dead. I think it would be better if she only came back if Eliwood was in love with her (or if he just didn't kill her at all if he had the A support!).
43. What’s your thoughts on Ninian and Nilus?
Ninian is fine, though I think she is too soft-spoken for my tastes, and looks far too *young* too. Nils also looks too young I think. But I adore Nils, and if he were a bit older... *drools*
44. What’s your war rankings on the first time around?
I don't remember, but it was bad. I think I got a B or C overall.
45. How many % of the support conversations did you get the first time?
4% I think. I wasn't trying too hard for them the first time.
46. Tell us the track number of your favourite Sound Room pieces.
I don't remember! And I'm far too lazy to open it up. I don't listen to the Sound Room much anyway.
47. Your favourite supports?
Raven/Lucius, Renault/Lucius, Hector/Matthew, Guy/Matthew, Serra/Erk, Pent/Erk, Louise/Guy, Vaida/Canas (this is HILARIOUS), Heath/Legault, Eliwood/Ninian, Nino/Jaffar, Kent/Sain, Sain/Rebecca
48. In order to give this FE a perfect finish, do you have enough will left to get all the support conversations?
... Maybe? I dunno. I don't try very hard for them, honestly, but I think at some point I'll go for it.
49. Any support conversations that make you laugh?
Well, a lot of them are funny. Serra/Lucius made me laugh. Canas/Vaida had me rolling on the floor. Legault/Heath, Guy/Karel, Matthew/Serra, Raven/Wil are all pretty funny. Rebecca/Wil is cute, and I like Rath teaching Wil to ride a horse in Rath/Wil.
50. There’s two new characters in Hector’s route : The Pegasus Sister Farina and the princess of swords Karla. Met them yet?
I got Farina (triangle attack, yeah!) but I didn't get the right stage for Karla, unfortunately.
51. Which is your favourite route, Lyn’s, Eliwood’s or Hector’s?
Hector's! I love Hector's. It's so much more full, and it's the longest of the three, and there's all sorts of fun secrets to do. And you get *three* Wolf Beils!
52. Who is the REAL protagonist of Rekka no Ken?
Eliwood for sure. It's always his story.
53. How many modes have you cleared?
Lyn normal/hard, Eliwood normal, Hector normal. I'm in Hector hard right now. How would I describe it? HARD.
54. Ever want to change the name of anyone? And to what?
Erk... should be Elk *shakes fist at naturalization team* Same with Lowen/Rowen. And Lucius/Lucea. Lucea is his name dammit! It's supposed to be girly!
55. Anybody you dislike?
Hmmmmm... not really, actually. Even the annoying characters are pretty charming in the end <3 Karel kind of annoys me, but I know he gets better.
56. Any support conversations you wish you didn’t make?
Lyn/Rath. I love them as a couple, but their conversation was very disappointing.
57. Your favourite couples, please.
Raven/Lucius, Rebecca/Wil, Lyn/Rath, Matthew/Leila (yeah yeah, I know it doesn't count, but humor me), Nino/Jaffar
58. What’d happen to said couples after the ending? Share your thoughts.
Well, in my opinion Raven would return to Cornwell and sell off the remainder of his parent's estate, except for a small plot of land which he'd give to Lucius. Then he'd wander around until he found himself, decided he was tired of angst and came home to live with his loyal retainer. <3 I think the ending for them just describes them as wandering off together, which any Victor/Flik fan knows is secret code for "wandered off to have lots of hot yaoi action".
Rebecca and Wil are just cute together. They have lots of archer babies, one of which ends up in FE6.
Lyn and Rath return to the plains and have Sue. The end!
Matthew and Leila... well, after she dies I think he will take a long time to come to terms with it. He may never really get over her, but I think he could eventually find someone he could settle down with.
...The canon ending for Nino and Jaffar is that he fathers her children, then has to take off because people are hunting him. It's very sad... I have this idea in my head, though, that he runs into Matthew somewhere along the way, who eventually helps him elude his pursuers so he can return to Nino.
59. Who is the best girl for Eliwood?
Ninian. The game seems to want you to think so anyway.
60. Who is the best girl for Hector?
Lyn. Though I don't really see him with any of the choices you get for him. But at least he has chemistry with Lyn. ;)
61. And who’d make the best guy for Lyn?
Rath, I think, since in plot events they seem quite taken with each other. And she is the chieftain's daughter, so it makes sense she'd end up with Sacaen 'nobility'.
62. What do you don’t understand the most about the ending, if anything?
What happened to the Prince? I haven't played FE6, so I'm curious about what is happening there in Bern. Maybe I should play FE6 just to find out.
63. Which enemy character has the most lasting impression on your mind?
Ursula... Sonia. Sonia's chapter was just so hard. I struggled with it for a long time before getting the hang of it.
64. What’s your favourite part of the game script?
The scene where Ninian dies... that is just perfect. It is done really well for a death scene. The scene in the desert with Nils and Hector is precious. I also like the part where Hector teases Eliwood about Lyn and calls him "lover boy". ^^
65. The most interesting map is?
I like Sonia's a lot, because I always have overleveled fliers.
66. Which map gave you the closest call?
Light.
67. What do you think of the weather system?
GUH. I am STILL stuck on Hector hard 14 because of that $#&*(@ rain.
68. What do you think of the enemy behavior?
It's fine. The AI isn't half bad, especially in hard mode.
69. Which weapon do you constantly abuse?
Mani Katti, Wolf Beil, hand axes for knights and javelins for fliers.
70. Sword users : Who did you use more between Guy, Raven, Karel, Karla and Harken?
Used Guy and Raven the most.
71. Pegasus Knights : Who did you use more between Florina, Fiora and Farina?
I've had some really bomb-awesome Florinas, so usually her.
72. Thieves : Who did you use more between Matthew and Ragalt?
Matthew <3
73. Who’s the strongest Social Knight/Paladin?
Sain, usually.
74. Healers : Who did you use more, Serra or Priscilla?
Serra, because bishops are better than valkyries I think.
75. Archers : Wil, Rebecca, Louise, Rath... who’s the strongest?
Rebecca and Wil.
76. Magic users : Erk, Lucius, Kanas, Pant...who’s the strongest?
Kanas is because of Luna, but usually Lucius is all around better.
77. Axe users : Barthre, Dorcas, Darts, Hawkeye, Gaitz...who’s the strongest?
Darts. Berzerkers own.
78. What’s the most emotionally touching event?
Leila's death... Matthew's reaction is so calm and controlled that it just hurts my heart to watch. Ninian's death is also very sad... mostly because of the one cgi where Eliwood is holding her and Nils is kneeling in anguish. That's a very intense moment.
79. Any bugs to report?
No.
80. What do you think about the advisor system?
It's hilarious.
Eliwood: What do you think, Anne?
Me: Well, I...
Eliwood: Yes, we should approach from the north!
Eliwood: I want you to name our child.
Me: Okay, I think...
Eliwood: Roy it is!
81. What do you think happen to Karel in that space of 20 years?
Maybe he found religion.
82. What did Karla find in Bartre that made her fall in love?
He's the strong, stupid type. Maybe he's good in bed.
83. What do you think happen to Zephyr in that space of 20 years?
He had a really fucked up family. I'm not at all surprised that he ended up evil. The poor kid survived *how* many assassination attempts? Most of them ordered by his own dad?
84. Do you think a little less happy ending would’ve been better?
I think it's good the way it is. At least this way you can feel happy before things *really* get bad in FE6.
85. The parents of character X is actually character C and N! What’s yours?
Roy = Eliwood + Ninian
Lilina = Hector + random noblewoman
Lugh/Ray = Jaffar + Nino
Wolt = Rebecca + Wil
Sue = Rath + Lyn
86. Did you link up Rekka no Ken and Fuuin no Tsurugi?
No.
87. If you (the advisor) CAN fight, what would he/she be like? Class? Stats? Good or bad? And have supports with who?
Name: Anne
Class: Shaman
Stats: Generally good defense and resistance, but magic somewhat low
Good or bad: Ehn, she'd be okay but Canas would be strictly better.
Supports with: Lyn, Hector, Eliwood, Canas, Pent, Sain (because in my game she is female, hehe)
88. Can you write a joke support conversation, and clearly list between who and who?
AUGH! Okay okay, but it's gonna be lame.
Sain/Vaida
C Level
Sain: Oh! And who is this new member of our fair troupe! I am Sain, knight of Lycia. I am most pleased to meet you.
Vaida: ... What a strange little man you are.
Sain: You are some kind of wvyern knight? A fine steed if I do say so myself.
Vaida: ... Do you know something of wvyerns, knight?
Sain: Well, not as such...
Vaida: Oh. Then stop wasting my time. *starts to leave*
Sain: Wait! Fair sir!
Vaida: ...sir?
B Level
Sain: ... *has his eyes closed* Huff... huff...
Vaida: *enters from off screen* There you are!
Sain: Augh! *backs away* Y-you!
Vaida: What, scared I'm going to hurt you?
Sain: After last time? Y-yes! I-I didn't mean to call you a man! I just... it was an honest mistake!
Vaida: I'm very sought-after in Bern, you know!
Sain: Oh yes, I'm sure!
Vaida: A fine catch for any man.
Sain: For any man, of course!
Vaida: ... You don't... think I'm pretty?
Sain: ... W-why... o-of course you are... A v-vision...
Vaida: Really? A... vision? Why... I never imagined... *she leaves*
Sain: ... whew. I thought she was going to lose it again...
A Level
Vaida: Sain!
Sain: Huh-? Augh!
Vaida: Sorry to scare you, sugarbuns! It's me, your Vaida!
Sain: "Sugarbuns?"
Vaida: *she moves closer* I've been thinking about what you said...
Sain: W-what did I say?
Vaida: And I think I've made up my mind. I *will* marry you, Sain!
Sain: M-Marry me!?
Vaida: We'll be happy forever! Two knights of warring nations united in love!
Sain: M-marry... oh brother...
Vaida: Now give me a kiss, snoogums!
Sain: I... I have a headache! *he flees*
Vaida: ...Sugarbear?
*To be continued*
1. Name, please?
Anne.
2. How long have you been playing FE?
Since sometime before finals last semester. I know this because it distracted me from them quite nicely.

Nope, just FE 7 and a little of FE 6.

I haven't really played Fuuin. Roy gives me hives.
5. Give us the name of your Rekka no Ken one and only favourite character, please.
Matthew. <3
6. What’s the charm in that person?
Matthew is the stereotypical gentleman thief that I love so much. He's clever, witty, and also very caring - he did save Guy's life and he's totally in love with Leila. I love how he looks out for Hector, too. I find that when I write FE fanfiction I keep being drawn back to Matthew because I love to be inside his head; it's such a rich place to be.

Matthew, Hector, Lucius.
8. Enter your three favourite Rekka no Ken girls.
Vaida, Rebecca, Louise.
9. Who’s the strongest character on your first playthrough?
The first time? My Wil was wicked strong. He would kill bosses all by himself. I must've gotten really lucky, because I've never had anyone that good since (with the exception of Hector the Broken).
10. Who turned out to be the weakest character, despite your best efforts?
I would say Lowen, but I never gave him my best efforts. I'm going to have to say Nino. I *tried* dammit...
11. Do you use the arena often?
Not really. I'm playing on the cart so it's not easy to exploit and I'm always nervous about characters dying.

He bugs.
15. Do Sain and Kent turn out like you’ve imagine them to be?
They're really cute together. Kent is such a tightass that Sain brings out the best in him. I love the idea of Sain playing Cyrano to Kent and Lyn.
16. You think Serra and Erk really disliked each other?
I think they were attracted to each other but really, they are just both too bitchy to ever make it work. Though if anyone can lighten up his angst, she can.
17. State your wild ideas on why Florina hates men, please.
Ooh, wild ideas eh? I think she has a Miranda-like complex, where she was raised exclusively around strong women and has never really had much experience with men... to her they are very different and strange. I also think she may be a little bit gay... maybe just a little.
18. Do you think the sudden ending of Lyn’s part is odd?
Eh, it's fine considering it's not the real story.
19. Were you annoyed at Wallace’s forced promotion?
Sure, but you can choose not to in hard mode.
20. How the heck did Dorcas and Natalie ever fall in love?
Dorcas is really quiet but I think he's not really *stupid* like Bartre is. He's got that 'protect my loved ones' thing going and I can see how she'd be attracted to that. Their relationship is really sweet, I think.

No, I hated him actually.
22. Hector and Eliwood get their support talks really fast, don’t they?
Yeah, but that makes sense. They've known each other forever.
23. Hector-Eliwood-Lyn...who’s the strongest of them all?
Hector. Without a doubt. The man is a beast.
24. Not counting Wallace, who’s your first class changed character?
The first time through it was Raven, Oswin, and Erk.
25. Did you inadvertantly kill Darts off your first time playing chapter 16 Gaiden?
Nope. I avoided most of those pirates like the plague.
26. And on the same note, did you attack Fargus?
No, but I've always wanted to. ^^;
27. Did you go to the rumored Chapter 19 special?
Not yet, but I'm on it! Currently working my way through Hector hard after doing the Nils level 7 thing. I can't wait to see it.
28. Who did you use the Afa Drops on in your first game?
I always give it to Lucius. He becomes pretty godly.
29. Did you find every treasure in the Nabata desert in your first run?
No, and I still haven't. I did manage to get the Light Sword on my first playthrough though.

35. Ursula’s Thunderstorm is quite cool, eh?
Yeah, she's pretty good.
36. Do you wish Ursula can be on your team?
Yes and no. Since she's pretty much evil, I'm not sure I'd really want her around. But she *is* really good in the way that Priscilla will never be. Alas!
37. Is there any character in the Black Fang that you wish can join your team?
Linus and Lloyd!! Uhai would also be cool because he'd have some neat synergy with Lyn and Rath, I think.
38. Do you think Lloyd and Linus are powerful? Who dealt the finishing blow?
Yes, and in Hector's route they are downright broken. It's always *really* close when I'm killing Lloyd, usually I have to surround him and hope nobody misses. Actually I think Eliwood dealt the killing blow last time I played.
39. Who did you give the Dark Contract to the first time around?
Legault, because I didn't like Matthew. Man was I wrong.
40. Who did you take with you in the final chapter?
The five defaults and Lucius, Canas, Florina, Vaida, Pent, Oswin, Sain... Umm... can't remember exactly.

I think it spoils a perfectly good and well-done death scene. It really disappointed me the first time, because I didn't have an A support with her and Eliwood and I was expecting her to just stay dead. I think it would be better if she only came back if Eliwood was in love with her (or if he just didn't kill her at all if he had the A support!).

Ninian is fine, though I think she is too soft-spoken for my tastes, and looks far too *young* too. Nils also looks too young I think. But I adore Nils, and if he were a bit older... *drools*
44. What’s your war rankings on the first time around?
I don't remember, but it was bad. I think I got a B or C overall.
45. How many % of the support conversations did you get the first time?
4% I think. I wasn't trying too hard for them the first time.
46. Tell us the track number of your favourite Sound Room pieces.
I don't remember! And I'm far too lazy to open it up. I don't listen to the Sound Room much anyway.
47. Your favourite supports?
Raven/Lucius, Renault/Lucius, Hector/Matthew, Guy/Matthew, Serra/Erk, Pent/Erk, Louise/Guy, Vaida/Canas (this is HILARIOUS), Heath/Legault, Eliwood/Ninian, Nino/Jaffar, Kent/Sain, Sain/Rebecca
48. In order to give this FE a perfect finish, do you have enough will left to get all the support conversations?
... Maybe? I dunno. I don't try very hard for them, honestly, but I think at some point I'll go for it.
49. Any support conversations that make you laugh?
Well, a lot of them are funny. Serra/Lucius made me laugh. Canas/Vaida had me rolling on the floor. Legault/Heath, Guy/Karel, Matthew/Serra, Raven/Wil are all pretty funny. Rebecca/Wil is cute, and I like Rath teaching Wil to ride a horse in Rath/Wil.
50. There’s two new characters in Hector’s route : The Pegasus Sister Farina and the princess of swords Karla. Met them yet?
I got Farina (triangle attack, yeah!) but I didn't get the right stage for Karla, unfortunately.
51. Which is your favourite route, Lyn’s, Eliwood’s or Hector’s?
Hector's! I love Hector's. It's so much more full, and it's the longest of the three, and there's all sorts of fun secrets to do. And you get *three* Wolf Beils!
52. Who is the REAL protagonist of Rekka no Ken?
Eliwood for sure. It's always his story.
53. How many modes have you cleared?
Lyn normal/hard, Eliwood normal, Hector normal. I'm in Hector hard right now. How would I describe it? HARD.
54. Ever want to change the name of anyone? And to what?
Erk... should be Elk *shakes fist at naturalization team* Same with Lowen/Rowen. And Lucius/Lucea. Lucea is his name dammit! It's supposed to be girly!
55. Anybody you dislike?
Hmmmmm... not really, actually. Even the annoying characters are pretty charming in the end <3 Karel kind of annoys me, but I know he gets better.
56. Any support conversations you wish you didn’t make?
Lyn/Rath. I love them as a couple, but their conversation was very disappointing.
57. Your favourite couples, please.
Raven/Lucius, Rebecca/Wil, Lyn/Rath, Matthew/Leila (yeah yeah, I know it doesn't count, but humor me), Nino/Jaffar
58. What’d happen to said couples after the ending? Share your thoughts.
Well, in my opinion Raven would return to Cornwell and sell off the remainder of his parent's estate, except for a small plot of land which he'd give to Lucius. Then he'd wander around until he found himself, decided he was tired of angst and came home to live with his loyal retainer. <3 I think the ending for them just describes them as wandering off together, which any Victor/Flik fan knows is secret code for "wandered off to have lots of hot yaoi action".
Rebecca and Wil are just cute together. They have lots of archer babies, one of which ends up in FE6.
Lyn and Rath return to the plains and have Sue. The end!
Matthew and Leila... well, after she dies I think he will take a long time to come to terms with it. He may never really get over her, but I think he could eventually find someone he could settle down with.
...The canon ending for Nino and Jaffar is that he fathers her children, then has to take off because people are hunting him. It's very sad... I have this idea in my head, though, that he runs into Matthew somewhere along the way, who eventually helps him elude his pursuers so he can return to Nino.
59. Who is the best girl for Eliwood?
Ninian. The game seems to want you to think so anyway.
60. Who is the best girl for Hector?
Lyn. Though I don't really see him with any of the choices you get for him. But at least he has chemistry with Lyn. ;)
61. And who’d make the best guy for Lyn?
Rath, I think, since in plot events they seem quite taken with each other. And she is the chieftain's daughter, so it makes sense she'd end up with Sacaen 'nobility'.
62. What do you don’t understand the most about the ending, if anything?
What happened to the Prince? I haven't played FE6, so I'm curious about what is happening there in Bern. Maybe I should play FE6 just to find out.
63. Which enemy character has the most lasting impression on your mind?
Ursula... Sonia. Sonia's chapter was just so hard. I struggled with it for a long time before getting the hang of it.
64. What’s your favourite part of the game script?
The scene where Ninian dies... that is just perfect. It is done really well for a death scene. The scene in the desert with Nils and Hector is precious. I also like the part where Hector teases Eliwood about Lyn and calls him "lover boy". ^^
65. The most interesting map is?
I like Sonia's a lot, because I always have overleveled fliers.
66. Which map gave you the closest call?
Light.
67. What do you think of the weather system?
GUH. I am STILL stuck on Hector hard 14 because of that $#&*(@ rain.
68. What do you think of the enemy behavior?
It's fine. The AI isn't half bad, especially in hard mode.
69. Which weapon do you constantly abuse?
Mani Katti, Wolf Beil, hand axes for knights and javelins for fliers.
70. Sword users : Who did you use more between Guy, Raven, Karel, Karla and Harken?
Used Guy and Raven the most.
71. Pegasus Knights : Who did you use more between Florina, Fiora and Farina?
I've had some really bomb-awesome Florinas, so usually her.
72. Thieves : Who did you use more between Matthew and Ragalt?
Matthew <3
73. Who’s the strongest Social Knight/Paladin?
Sain, usually.
74. Healers : Who did you use more, Serra or Priscilla?
Serra, because bishops are better than valkyries I think.
75. Archers : Wil, Rebecca, Louise, Rath... who’s the strongest?
Rebecca and Wil.
76. Magic users : Erk, Lucius, Kanas, Pant...who’s the strongest?
Kanas is because of Luna, but usually Lucius is all around better.
77. Axe users : Barthre, Dorcas, Darts, Hawkeye, Gaitz...who’s the strongest?
Darts. Berzerkers own.
78. What’s the most emotionally touching event?
Leila's death... Matthew's reaction is so calm and controlled that it just hurts my heart to watch. Ninian's death is also very sad... mostly because of the one cgi where Eliwood is holding her and Nils is kneeling in anguish. That's a very intense moment.
79. Any bugs to report?
No.
80. What do you think about the advisor system?
It's hilarious.
Eliwood: What do you think, Anne?
Me: Well, I...
Eliwood: Yes, we should approach from the north!
Eliwood: I want you to name our child.
Me: Okay, I think...
Eliwood: Roy it is!
81. What do you think happen to Karel in that space of 20 years?
Maybe he found religion.
82. What did Karla find in Bartre that made her fall in love?
He's the strong, stupid type. Maybe he's good in bed.
83. What do you think happen to Zephyr in that space of 20 years?
He had a really fucked up family. I'm not at all surprised that he ended up evil. The poor kid survived *how* many assassination attempts? Most of them ordered by his own dad?
84. Do you think a little less happy ending would’ve been better?
I think it's good the way it is. At least this way you can feel happy before things *really* get bad in FE6.
85. The parents of character X is actually character C and N! What’s yours?
Roy = Eliwood + Ninian
Lilina = Hector + random noblewoman
Lugh/Ray = Jaffar + Nino
Wolt = Rebecca + Wil
Sue = Rath + Lyn
86. Did you link up Rekka no Ken and Fuuin no Tsurugi?
No.
87. If you (the advisor) CAN fight, what would he/she be like? Class? Stats? Good or bad? And have supports with who?
Name: Anne
Class: Shaman
Stats: Generally good defense and resistance, but magic somewhat low
Good or bad: Ehn, she'd be okay but Canas would be strictly better.
Supports with: Lyn, Hector, Eliwood, Canas, Pent, Sain (because in my game she is female, hehe)
88. Can you write a joke support conversation, and clearly list between who and who?
AUGH! Okay okay, but it's gonna be lame.
