here I am;

Finished with homework, about to play Radiant Dawn. Which by the way...

I'm at Part IV already on my second playthrough. Because yes, I can play it multiple times. Ike's series has to be my favorite Fire Emblem that I have played. Just because the plot is detailed and there are plenty of plot twists to go around. Like the fact that Almedha is Soren's mother. I mean, seriously. I didn't see that one coming. To get to that though, you need to do a bunch of unescessary crap first and throughout the game. Well, mostly from Part III. Like, sparing Pelleas, even though he's as useless as Meg. However, he is a dark sage. That's my only reason for sparing that sack of potatoes.
Anyway, Part IV. Pisses me off to no end. It probably has something to do with the stupid idea Yune had to split everyone up. I can totally see why she suggested it and you're stuck doing it, but still. With Ike as strong as he is (or how he should be, at least, depending if you strengthened him up like I did), he should be able to cut everyone down. Every single Disciple of Order, with the help of a few vulneraries and maybe the help of Soren (who's untouchable in my current game, without the thanks to data transfer).
I think what I hate the most about Part IV is that the enemy is unbearably tough, on any mode be it easy, hard or maniac. Not strong enough to defeat my strategy in keeping everyone alive, but tough enough for me to panic like all hell. And here's the thing: I don't use the herons at all either. I haven't got around to it yet, but I want Naesala and Leanne to have an A support (since I just started this part) so I might use Leanne on the battlefield, which I'm sure I'll regret once I actually try it and she gets killed. Also, I might use Rafiel to recruit Oliver, but still. It's hard to risk those herons. I just try to keep everyone alive.
Also, to think I might've killed Kurthnaga in Part III Endgame. He almost died because of Ike. Yes, everything is because of Ike, believe it or not. He's also probably the reason Soren looks like a girl. When they have conversations, Ike is so manly and toned, he makes Soren frail and vulnerable as well as feminine. Then again, alot of Fire Emblem characters are very adrogynous.
Since this is my second playthrough, I'm planning on recruiting Sephiran as well. But trying to trigger Ike's memory scene is a bitch.
I realize that I might have to play this a third time to get everything perfect. Maybe a fourth time. Sometimes, I'd rather not think about that :/

and wtf, Link riding trains???
I prefer Link riding on boats.
