Welcome to Gaia! ::

Of course I haven't read the script, but I know that the character description on Serenes Forest describes Tiki as being "Usually calm, with a 'little girl side' that slips out on occasion." Having a childish side or being childish isn't the same as having the brain of a kid. Though how the game proper expresses adult Tiki really can't be said until the darn thing comes out. I'm saving myself for the release.

Well, FE4 had Dew for pairings and he definitely makes for a similar situation to pairing Richt (and it becomes even more common in Gen 2). And even with the American translations, things like BoydXMist and JaffarXNino are fine despite the at least questionable age difference. Granted, those two cases have set age differences whereas Richt could go with a number of possible choices. But none of the child-bearing options would make for too big of an age difference. They'd be the gender reversal of BodyXMist, basically. Older female characters like, say, Flavia, don't have kids unless it's with MU.

There's also a spoilerific reason it wouldn't be as bad as it seems I'll have after the colon: the kids are from the future. So Richt would certainly be older by the time anything adult happened.

Are we talking FE4 or FE13? The gap in generations for FE4 is 17 years (plus, a substantial amount of time takes place between each chapter which can make it VERY confusing). Especially with FE5.

Timelines in FE13 are more complicated as far as I can tell in FE13 for spoiler related reasons but I'll say it like this: there is no gap between a Gen I and Gen II in FE13 playing the game so it's sort of a character by character thing as far as I know.

...methinks she'd probably be better off Resire tanking Nosferatanking. Although I've personally never had any issues with her hitting, since her main purpose for me to has usually been handling groups of Armors with poor evasion anyway.

Falaflame & Holsety > Naga this time.

I DO love how they've included the legendary weapons from so many games into this though.

Indeed. But a class change is no big deal.

Granted, I generally only use her against armors and mages so they either have poor evade, weapon triangle disadvantage, or both. I'm also a fan of charisma botting (and generally find Delmud to be a lackluster unit to raise, so he's generally utilized on units that need the help; between that and the possible addition of Nanna, Laylea and some leadership bonus, there are definitely enough tools at hand to get her to hit). Skill Rings I give to Shanan and Lakche to increase their activation rates for Shooting Star even higher, allowing it to go above their natural cap.

And 5 is the amount of speed you need to be faster by in order to double. As doubling isn't necessarily easily done in this game in a lot of situations, I think that puts Holsety above Naga for turning a speed tie into a double. Can't say for certain until we actually HAVE the game, though. Falaflame definitely takes the cake though since it's technically a 21 power tome. I also want to wait until formulas are out before estimating the value of crit in this game. Is it like Radiant Dawn where enemies actually have an existing Luck stat reducing your crit rates or the GBA games where you can just stack a bunch of +crit features and destroy everything?

I've given the Chapter 6 one to Johan before, but now prefer it on a Swordfighter or Myrmidon simply to make them even better. Much as I kind of like Johan, he's never going to be one of the big guns.

For almost every FE, it's 4 speed to double. FE13 has it at 5 to double, though. And it does serve as another tool for that purpose. Not every class boosts speed, Stat Cries eat up a turn, etc...

The Love that Lasts the Longest...

...Is the One that can never be.
