I'll use Lute until such time as Knoll is ready to go
And Normal. I don't feel like putting in the focus to beat SS on Hard, and I like the extra elbow room to experiment with teams without too much pressure.
(Natasha/Knoll is one of the ones that goes into more detail on the story, fyi)
I personally identify most strongly with text entries 1 and 3
Edit: This lady is singing the song of my heart, here: Post is titled: Fuck Ninjas

It was pretty different for me, in that I was in hook line and sinker pretty much immediately. I didn't read or watch anything about Fates, except for the E3 trailer, up to the point it was just about to release, and I had no idea or opinion on any of the characters. And then @Wyborn loaded up a youtube video with the Chapter 6 cutscene flash of all the siblings' faces, and the moment Xander frowned that little extra bit nineteen seconds in my brain went "He's so worried! Why is he so worried, he is the most worried about you out of all the people there"
aaaaaaand sold, nobody else stood a chance, I'm not even the least bit guilty
(That Xander is a merging of both A) (leader type) and B) (knight type) did really help move things along as well)

I have a +hp -luck corrin with monk subclass, got him renewal and switched back. I gave him my two talismans so he can have 30+ in both defense and resist and 50 hp and he is trucking right along now. couldn't do it with kanna because anna has crap defense. I would try it in lunatic except I can't beat fucking chapter 2 with a +hp corrin
And an archer walks up to her house
And caves the roof in, crushing her to death
What the hell?
This is what you get/if you take naps rather than lives/Farewell star-eyed girl
Azama comments that Mitama's might have slept through her house being razed
Meanwhile, in the alternate dimension of my last attempt, she lies crushed under the rubble of her collapsed roof
Haiku don't need to rhyme
And I'm not impressed with your writing. You want to impress me? Write a ghazal or a sonnet.
Or a sestina. Writing those is nightmarish.
I'm gonna talk straight with ya for a sec. Spoiled for Inquisition talk. Not really plot spoilers, but it just feels corteous to spoil talk about a different game when I'm in the Fire Emblem Thread.
For the straight dudes/ queer-ladies-who-don't-mind-playing-dude-characters/ people-who-are-cool-roleplaying-as-a-straight-male-regardless-of-real-world-gender-or-sexuality among us, there's a strong case to be made for playing it as Cassandra Date Simulator 2015

Whoooooops
That'll teach me to rely on some random gamefaqs thread for FE answers
Choices:
Charlotte
Azura
Mozu
Opinions?

I didn't like charlotte, but it does make their kid a monster
Also I've answered my own question from earlier and made my castle an easy seize and added it to the list!
Also I would pair Keaton with Charlotte, I remember it being pretty decent?
Edit: Nope I was thinking of Charlotte/Kaden. Well, Azura/Keaton is pretty good!
Who are your Conquest team one true loves?
Charlotte and Keaton is aggressively nonsense and Charlotte hates his guts
I dunno about Azura or Mozu but they can't be worse
Lessee here...
Silas X Camilla
Odin X Elise
Corrin X Xander (because I'm the worst)
Beruka X Benny
Effie X Leo (it should have been Benny!!)
Arthur X Selena
That's all, I think! Everyone else is benched.

Can't speak to the gameplay benefits of it, but I wouldn't recommend it
@Didgeridoo those are some solid matches!
Charlotte/Keaton is a pretty good support line, IMO.
Apparently Azura likes fox boys, so maybe she will like wolf boys too?
Mozu is the one true queen of Nohr and does not need to marry into the Wolfskin line.
Mozu/Keaton is good.
It's not a "mozu feels bad about not contributing/Mozu cooks food" support, so that already made it better in my eyes.
They're also pretty good for each other, which is to say Mozu seems legitimately interested in keaton, whereas I felt like my other keaton pairings were usually along the lines of "Oh no what have I done to this poor girl, i'm so sorry. No keaton stop giving her literal trash."
Also Velouria is great, aptitude makes her greater.
How's Arthur/Selena? I was going to try that one, but I paired her with Keaton instead

Hinata's like a Birthright Mozu, his are mostly great, too.
I treated the first Dragon Age as Alistair Dating Sim, so I'm pleased at the prospect of getting a new person to focus on. Fates is just... so neverending, though. Must try to advance the plot once again... I'll beat the next chapter tonight.

It's exhausting amounts of game.
It doesn't help that Birthright is practically begging you to have Ryoma easymode every problem you see past the halfway point, and a lot of revelations maps are gimmicky garbage.
But Conquest!
Most of Conquest's maps are pretty alright.
Why I fear the ocean.
But when I play revelations and start having to repeat paralogues and go through supports I've already seen, I suspect I'll deal with a bit of burnout
Everything after 18ish is like... ugh why.
Especially when they literally just re-use a gimmick you saw like 3 chapters ago if that.
Yeah. The general content of the convo is the same but it changes a bit based on the mom's personality/speech pattern.
Yeah, they did the same basic thing in Awakening, but it's much expanded here, and the kid's responses tend to change too. It's like every parent is Walhart!
