-Ah, yes, the Onigiri thing makes sense now, thank you. I figured it has the stats that it does for good reason, but I had to ask. I'm so excited for the final release! Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see where the story goes from chapter 21.

-Hey now!

-So I've thought about this, and I'm not sure why it is, but looking at the Onigiri sword I'm not sure why it exists. Does it have some special hidden property? Its stats are inferior to that of a Killing Edge and don't come close to a Steel Sword.

Onigiri: mt 4, hit 65, crit 10

Killing Edge: mt 9, hit 75, crit 30

Steel Sword: mt 8, hit, 75, crit 0

-So what's weird to me is that besides throwing in a One Piece reference, I don't understand its purpose. I mean, sure it has a 10 crit versus a Steel Sword's zero, but the halved mt and the low accuracy doesn't quite balance it out, IMHO.

Oh yes, the title is... meh. It's a long story. It's alternate title is "Fire Emblem: Dissidents Blade". I created an alternative title because it felt more Fire Emblem-y, funny enough. @Ledah no, it doesn't. Sorry, I'm not a fan of that.

-I've run into something I failed to notice last time I played,and I wanted to bring it up.

-In Chapter 8, when Siegfried can rescue Anakin, Ace, and Eduardo from the jails and they join your party temporarily, I noticed that whatever XP Ace and Eduardo gain from anything and levels included are gone when they rejoin in Chapter 11. However, Anakin's XP carried over. This made him around level 15 and Ace at 1 or something.

-It made me feel kinda bad because I love Ace and I focused on leveling him in that chapter, but all that XP was wasted when I could have used it on other team members...Is this intentional? Because if it is, I'll make sure to not use them, but that seems like an inconvenience.

Meh, I don't get why everyone thinks it's hard, but oh well. Sorry! Don't try hard mode, bro! And I don't get how it's "very much like a FE game" but "isn't very Fire Emblem-y" at the same time. >___>

-I think he may have referred to the title? Saying that "Tactics Universe" doesn't sound like a Fire Emblem-like title.

-First off, I couldn't be happier that the man in charge took the time and thoughtfully read and responded to me! That was my main mission, lol. Blazer, I knew you were a reasonable person when I emailed you a while ago about my patch troubles with Tactics!

-Now I understand why you've made some of the choices you've made, and the thing that's hard when trying to review the game for you is that the copy you have is much more balanced and complete and I don't know what I don't know, frankly. But I can respect that you consciously made certain decisions, like the lack of axe-users or how you said every character is worth something. And that I can get behind because you're the master of this hack, so you can take what you know about FE and tweak it, so you don't HAVE to have useless characters! I'm planning on playing again soon, so I'll try to use other characters to see how they turn up. That's the beauty of FE's replay value.

-By the way, love Roman the Myrmidon. Such a cool design! Just makes me sad that I recruit him and the patch ends *shakes fist at the heavens*.

-Keep up the good work, man. This is shaping up to be my favorite FE yet, and I've played most of them!
