i hate fire emblem 8 but
Mar. 11th, 2024 10:55 am...but it's kind of fun when i don't look at all of the problems.
i'm playing a romhack of fe8; the princess' lament. nothing has changed so far but i'm rockin with seth's PRF and the fact franz has a light brand. was that in the og? probably not. i'm having fun with it anyhow and getting all giddy and shit when valter shows up as usual etc etc
but i really don't like fe8. like, i'm a hater and an elitist about fire emblem in general but i'm not going to shit on your favorite game if it's your favorite game. but i really am not a fan of most of the characters and god i hate lyon. he's not even a bad character i think it's just out of spite because everyone is like AWAWAWA MY WIDDLE BLORBO etc etc and that stuff makes me roll my eyes... so by association i spose? but i don't have to have a reason to hate on a character.
and as much as i talk about elitism (or at least think about it IRL) i really am not very good at fire emblem. like sure i did my fe11 hard 5 ironman, but it took me like four dozen runs to get one where it was passable (and even then most of my characters died early on); i've played fe15 so many times with different challenge runs, fe3h maddening mode was frustrating but every time i did a map it felt good (still have not finished it... one day i will (no i won't)). but like. strategy games *are* hard. i literally don't blame anyone for complaining about ts because it takes a lot of resets for a great run.
but like it's sooo frustrating when people won't even try to play it because it's tooooo hard. i'm a very big fan of play the game how you want to. i absolutely love turning on the infinite money and exp cheats in fire emblem to see my characters hit things really hard. i love putting on infinite hp if one of my characters keeps dying but infinite hp will let me play the last turn to beat the map. in other games too i LOVE one-hit ko, no encounters in jrpgs. like. i love cheating. but when people complain about the game being too hard and giving up like. i feel like there are other options!!!
so YEAH. i love cheating!!!!!!!!! and fe is infinitely more fun when your favorite glass cannons aren't dying every turn and you don't have to reset 1000000 times over. i love cheating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
