Hey guys!

I'm trying to get as many people as I can to take this VERY quick survey where you just enter some information about your avatar. If you have multiple, choose the first one or the one you're most fond of or something, as you're only allowed to take the survey once though I'm sure you could bypass it if you really wanted to. Please take it honestly so we can get a nice sample of people and then see what people's avatars are like without having to read through lots of posts etc; it'll give us a quick glance of what choices in avatar creation and development are popular and which aren't, amongst other things.

Thanks for your help!

Done.

I should stipulate (it should be easy to identify by my answer pattern) that the score I gave, though it's low by game review standards (where anything below 90% is "average"), that it is one of the highest scores of recent games. By comparison, I'd probably, based on my breakdown of scoring, give my #1 favourite game a 96 and the average game a 55-60. Where 9.2-9.3+ is "solid", anything exceeding 70 is solid for me, with 80+ being a suggested play.

Heheh, alright. Everyone kind of has their own scale, and so a large sample size will hopefully account for individual variations in things like that.

And besides, the rating thing is just for fun; it's more about the avatar questions. XD

Umm... Morgan shouldn't be an option in the marrying question because he/she is your child and cannot exist without marrying.

Sure I did. Beat normal, then accidentally saved over my file with a Lunatic file, and I saved over that with a Hard mode file because Lunatic can wait.
First I went with Miriel, now with Tharja on this glorious Hard run. Unfortunately, I got bored of Awakening due to playing it so much, so I'm waiting a while before I go back.

quick illegitimate child option for incest's sake

I filled mine in, surprisingly had one of the rarer ones.

What's with all the unfinished/not entered info, though...?

I believe in judgment of humans through their judgment of fiction, for nothing else tells better of their disposition freed from apprehension.

@Hatless idk, it might be that people started the quiz and didn't finish, failed to submit it properly at the end, or took a look at it but decided not to take it.

@King yeah I know it's reasonable I just <3 the game too much so XD don't mind me I'm the nub here tongue.gif

Er, I forget, are spoilers allowed yet?


Yeah, it's a great game, but I found the plot to be less... detailed... That's the best word I can come up with. I mean, not much is given to the back-stories of the villains, except for several, it just jumps from one story arc to the next(as in the "main villain). I mean, sure, the bad guy was secretly using all of the other villains, but Lyon and Nergal, for example, had more back-story to them. Well, I'm sure that the SpotPass content does, but meh. I still liked the plot, but I prefer some of the other games' more.
It's a shame there were no levels with Fog of War, or any with more than 1-3 allied units. I liked levels with those, like the support in the chapters where you re-recruit Rath, protect Dussel, work with Laguz to defeat the foes in RD. At least it wasn't all only red and blue, like the original games.

Why am I posting this? I might as well explain why I didn't give the game 10/10. It's a great game, yeah, but while it incorporated things from the later games9branching classes) and the romance system, it kept a lot of the things from the originals.(No fog, no/almost no allied units/only 1 type of magic, etc)
Of course there are the nerfs to Pure Water/Master Keys/other items, but those don't matter much, to me.
In retrospect, I should've given this game at least 8.5 or 9.0. Oh well, it's too late to change that.

@Kingultra there is a chapter like that with multiple NPC's but yeah the chapter goal conditions and amount of NPC's in general felt a little lacking, I think. For spoilers, if it's about something that's out yet and isn't super late-game, it's generally okay, if it's something major like the final boss or a significant plot twist, you may want to make a small note of the spoiler or put it in spoiler tags, and if it's about something that isn't out yet, e.g. the SpotPass chapters to come, use spoiler tags, please. Generally speaking I leave it to you guys to use your own judgment about what should be put in spoiler tags and what shouldn't, since you're all smart enough people to do so you just have to care enough lol.

I didn't really enjoy fog of war and most of the time it didn't make sense to me either, so I was okay with that. More magic types, they prob could have made dark magic a truly separate one, and included light magic, but oh well. I don't like where they split up anima magic into fire, thunder, and wind, though--to me that felt silly especially because mages could only use like one tome type then, and it just made it so frustrating and bland, and it was such a pain to level up EACH individual magic tome type to a high rank sleep.gif there's a lot more flexibility without those divisions, IMO

story-wise, I felt that the story was overall pretty good, it made sense, it was enticing, and it made me want to keep playing, but it wasn't like "holy shit this is an epic story of massive proportions and OMG I have to save the world or else QQ"... but I wasn't really expecting that, I mean it's a Fire Emblem game, and I play'm more for the gameplay than the other stuff. And the characters were pretty much all great IMO and I enjoyed that a lot more than the overall story... i.e. it felt more about the story of the bonds between the protagonists yes all of your allies are protagonists versus a story about the various great enemies and stuff. (Clearly they didn't feel like giving the enemies a ton of development... I mean Walhart, Mustafa, and Yen'fay all had plenty of potential, but it felt like it went to waste XD).

In general the improvements, additions, etc. vastly outweighed what it could have yet improved on and lacked, and no game is perfect, so I took it for what it was and rated it based off of that. XD
