Curiosity and Bad Ideas Afoot....

So, as of a recent conversation, a friend of mine started talking about Awakening, dude's finally playing it for the first time, and he's asking me around about pairings since he doesn't know everything about them. I go explaining the basics to him for each character, all their quirks, their bad sides, so on. And I start to wonder, out of everyone here that's played Awakening, who do you guys pair with your Robin? Cause to be fair, I'm actually quite curious. And to be honest. If you haven't played Awakening. Who would you pair with your summoner?

I think mine's an obvious pick. Olivia. Their supports are nice. Recruitment chapter for Inigo has the pair interacting. And in Fates Inigo mentions something that kind hints at Rob but I'll stay away from things that aren't explicit.

Gaius but Inigo is also a good choice. Chrom ofc is another one

Oh God you have inadvertently started a waifu war.

On a side note, I'm Cordelia and Robin all the way, why? because you gotta feel bad for her and her and robin feels like the only true support where she gets over Chrom (that summer scramble convo is just 10/10). Also I'm a sucker for redheads.

Well the title kinda points out to it being an inadvertant waifu war.

And I can see why Cordi. She's cool. I just wish she wouldn't mope so much.

Awakening is shit, the pair up feature completely shits over the core concept of the franchise, if you actually cared about your friend you wouldn't let him play trash.

I don't see how it's a trash feature. Unbalanced maybe but trash is a bit harsh.

Also anything you call trash I honestly find gold. Because that's how little sense you make xD

Its trash because, just like reclassing, it removes any semblance of individuality in units, and again, turns units into balls of stats that steamroll everything. It's even worse inf ates because the entirety of the fates games revolves around the concept of pair up, and is balanced around it. It's a bullshit mechanic that couldve been made fine if there were more restrictions on it that made it something other than wearing a character like a backpack for massive stat bonus without any penalty.

While I agree it is far from being the best FE (that title belongs to FE4 and FE2 in second (not echoes)and is by far the most unbalanced FE. Awakening like it or not saved the franchise and brought a bunch of casual gamers into the series. Casual is also the best word to sum up awakening. its got colourful but not too in-depth characters (which is good for a casual player because it allows for more self-insert). Awakening is popular because its easy to understand and have fun playing without having to think strategy (at least on hard). To conclude awakening brought in casuals which honestly tend to be the majority of players and those who keep the series afloat are the casuals.

On a side note to everyone who says awakening is easy, go play lunatic plus. The first 6 missions rely purely on RNG bullshit.

There are a few well done characters but as I said. Very few.

On a side note, Lunatic + is horrid. End of story

Dont remind me the bs 20%+ crit rate plus near 100 hit that "masked marth" had, i almost made it without losing anyone and Chrom had to get crit-ed DX.

Same thing happened. Hurts me Everytime

>Awakening like it or not saved the franchise
Argumentum ad popularum. Just because something is popular doesn't mean its good, perfect examples of this are socialism, justin bieber, hillary clinton, pork products (excluding bacon), apple products, soda pop.

The My Unit concept is also terrible because it straight up made the entire game revolve around YOU, rather than the characters itself. I hate chrom and just about every other nufe character, but id rather the game just be about them rather than have a My Unit. Casuals ruin everything, this is a fact, look at every other franchise of anything and look at what happens when they casualize things.Communities fall apart as new people that don't care about the franchise come in and wear down everything until situations are glorified coinflips.

>have fun playing without having to think strategy
THIS IS A BAD THING. The entire franchise is about strategy, remove strategy from it and you get a shitty visual novel.

OP asked a question. If we don't have an answer for it, then we shouldn't respond. I don't see why we're filling this thread with unnecessary argument.

The Q&A and becoming filled with stuff like this lately. Can't we just talk about FEH and have a good time?

Varies for me tbh. Favorite is definitely Tiki tho, with Cherche as a close second.

Chrom if I'm playing as female Robin,Maribelle if I'm playing as male Robin.

Brady because his "Tough guy" act is 💘😭. Oh and Vaike because the same reason except he has like a lot of confidence, or maybe it's just stupidity💕

Lucina for non-optimal. Kellam!Nah for ultra insane defense Morgan, and Nowi for optimal.
I like using defensive units.

Lucina for that sweet Aether on Morgan
