Well, I want to hear the people's voice on the topic of which Pegasus Knight from FE7 is the best. I just got Farina for the first time on my Hector file and I definately like plopping down 20000 to get her skills, she's definately my pick.

Also, Who is the strongest of the 3? So far I've come to the conclusion that Farina is strongest, But I havent use Fiora yet so I'm not sure about her, Florina definately isnt, But damn is she fast.

Fiora > Florina. Her resistance growth is simply godly... and I use her every playthrough now.

I tried to support her with Eliwood once... and failed. Probably because I ship Eli/Nini and didn't try hard enough. *shot*

As for Farina, she's a pretty awesome unit too every time I trained her, but you can't get 3 delphi shields. Eventually, one has to be picked, so...

I end up staying with who has the highest stats close to endgame. Meaning... Fiora and Farina are duking it out 90% of the time.

To me, Farina will forever be a dirty money-whore who can die at the mercy of a ballista before I ever hire her (I usually finish the chapter she's in before she can reach Hector anyway).

I don't care how much stronger she is, I primarily play rank-runs in FE7. And the funds rank is annoying enough to maintain without arena-abusing (which ruins tactics). I don't need that whore taking my money.

As it is, she's not infinitely better than her sisters.
20/20 comparison courtesy of 6 FEA numbers (assuming they we're to reach 20/20):
Farina:
HP:49.2 Pow:22.8 Skl:23.3 Spd:25.8 Def:18.7 Res:22.0 Luck:22.1
Fiora:
HP:48.4 Pow:20.8 Skl:25.0 Spd:27.2 Def:14.4 Res:24.3 Luck:15.6
Florina:
HP:44.8 Pow:21.4 Skl:24.2 Spd:27.5 Def:11.7 Res:19.3 Luck:25.9
That Defense lead is quite impressive, but we ARE talking about Pegs. They're certainly not taking every hit that comes their way. And other than that, nothing particularly stands out. The added Strength is nice, but I doubt it would be the difference between a kill for one and not the others very often at all. All of them have a Strength-boosting affinity anyway, with the majority of their supports returning the favor. Speaking of supports, since Florina and Fiora are around for so much longer, they're much more likely to already have supports by the time Farina comes around (and besides her sisters, Farina's supports tend to be slower than those her sisters have with others). Let's not forget that if I were using her sisters, they'd have a pretty big level (and stat) lead on Farina to begin with until she catches up. She's even losing in some areas (not exactly convincing me that she's worth the money). And if you were to only use one peg to use, picking Farina would deprive you of using your peg for the longest amount of time - time when having that flier would come in handy.

I'm not fond of Farina's personality either...

My choice if Florina simply because she's around the longest. I'm quite fond of both her and Fiora though. And they support each other very quickly (Florina/Fiora is Fiora's fastest support, Florina's second fastest behind Lyn).

In terms of "power" though, that Defense lead does look nice on paper. But I'll stick with Florina for the majority of my peg-needs.

On another note, five of Florina's seven supports provide full crit. Fully support her with people other than Ninian or Farina, and that's 25 added Crit to her name. Fiora can attain it too, although she has fewer options to reach it with. NONE of Farina's options provide full crit. Fiora and Florina can reach 42 Crit... without Killer Lances.

In the end... out of 3 playthroughs, 2/3 I used Fiora... as a peg/falco knight.

But I never used that kind of unit endgame. I stuck with my tanks, my fast hitmen, and assassins... and CANAS.

Canas > Peg knights against magic users.

But when I did use her, Fiora was the best.
PostPosted: Mon Dec 22, 2008 11:37 am


Oh well... for me, Florina was most certainly the best. Once again, I'm not sure about the cold hard stats, but, Fiora died really easily and quickly... on top of that, she didn't seem to be able to avoid anything either. Florina, however, though she is hard to raise at the start, she was excellent for me towards the end.

Farina's good and safe, I think. A dependable unit and all, but, my favourite is still Florina. Farina is probably my favourite in personality though (then comes Florina) but I find she comes in too late.

On my playthorough now...

Florina and Fiora are capped at skill. They're working on getting there with speed. I have them around 20/13 or so.

They're A supported. They're both critical hitting beasts who give no sympathy to their enemies, and dodge freaking ballistas.

Now I can't choose between them. 3nodding

On my current playthrough, Florina is kicking a**. I plan on taking her to endgame.

I usually use Florina because she consistently turns out better than either of her sisters. However, if I'm trying to get supports for one or more of the sisters, then I'll change who I use.

It depends on your luck.

Florina's more sporadic. Her strength is low, but her luck and resistance are high.

Fiora is usually more stable in growth with higher defense and skill.

Farina I think usually mazes out strength. With her, it also depends. If you get all three, use the one with the best stats.

And I forget, which one... but one of them ALWAYS mazes out speed. Upgraded, Fiora always maxed out strength for me.

Fiora honestly gets no appreciation, fanbase or otherwise. She really is an awesome unit, and A supported with Florina, they just destroyed the Limstella map (I forget that chapter's name, it's the one before Endgame.)
PostPosted: Wed Feb 25, 2009 10:50 pm


I pick Florina! Not only do I like her better as a character, but by the time I get Fiora, Florina's has already surpassed her, and I never see the point in using her older sister. I agree, Fiora doesn't get enough attention, and it's sad. But I can't help it personally if she's no help what-so-ever in the level you recruit her in other than to see easier.

And Farina costs too much, so I've yet to be able to use her. Though I do like her black dress better than the white ones.

Really? She actually always nearly-maxes strength for me. XD

I've only used Fiora and Farina once, but I was rather pleasantly surprised. Farina turned out better than Florina on that file, but I'll obviously have to try a few more times before coming to a conclusion.

I prefer Florina not just because you get her first and can get to her a higher level and more experienced faster but also because she always turns out amazing for me. One play through I had I didn't even need to give her the fili shield to be safe from archers, her defense and speed took care of that. I've never used Farina before but for me Fiora rarely turns out well. That or she kicks butt against magic users and swords wielders but other than that...

Farina. >.> She's like a female Hector on a flying horse, with the speed and resistence that he lacks. Least, that's how it was for me. Plus, her supports were freaking hilarious.
Florina'd be a close second. It's a very, very rare occasion that she actually takes damage, and I like that.
And Fiora's... well, I can't say anything combat-wise, because I've never actually used her, but that's because she is the most boring character in that game. >.> Well, okay, next to Hawkeye. IMO, of course.

And I've been distracted at numerous points in this here thing, so I'ma just go with what I've said.
