My love for Radiant Dawn notwithstanding, Hector is still the best Fire Emblem character for my money.

You're closer. But who was Haar closely associated with?

Kneel before her. Kneel and bow!



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Both of you:

No.

Beefcake.

Never finished neither of the two I played, so I can't say.



Above: still the best game of the year.

Yeah, Jill is definitely the better character of the two stat-wise, although Haar is a killer as well to bad of his low RES. But he's definitely my favorite FE character.

I had both in my Endgame team on my last radiant Dawn playthrough anyway.

I've played and beaten the three GBA titles, can't say the same for the NES and SNES games. Not sure how you could describe Radiant Dawn's difficulty as "lol" compared to the GBA games. Story- and characterwise Fire Emblem 9/10 bests Fire Emblem 6/7, Sacred Stones anyway.

I personally enjoyed Sacred stones the best mainly because of the branching campaign and the world map. I personally do not find Radiant Dawn that hard because you can save after every move. Also, Mia would get destroyed by Edward. Just sayin' :P

The hard save feature is disabled on hard mode as well as the weapon triangle and additionally the movement ranges of enemies aren't displayed anymore. The people who claim that RD isn't that hard usually haven't played it on hard mode, just like the people who keep saying that Edward destroys Mia. Bringing Edward to an adequate level in hard mode is a lot of work that doesn't really pay off, because having a good Jill for the desert chapter is more useful than a good endgame Edward. With Mia you don't have to go through such troubles and she always ends up with rock solid stats.

Still, his stats are amazing. If you can get him leveled up all the way, he is one of the most useful characters alongside Rolf and Astrid.  Way better than  Mia.

Mia maxes out almost as many stats on average, maxes a lot faster since she starts at a higher level, and maxes certain stats at much lower levels than Edward does on average.

Maxed out you can make an argument for Edward, but Mia will be better than him at most parts of the game.

Yay! Someone else who knows the awesomeness of Rolf! He needed a bit of TLC in the beginning of PoR, but midway through that game, he kicked ass for the rest of both games! And once I gave him a crossbow, he was a front-liner for me.

But the whole Mia/Edward thing? I never had much luck with myrmidons in either PoR or RD. Until about the midway point, they're good for me, but then their strength lags behind. A crit with a silver sword to do... 6 damage? And they were never too good for me at dodging, either- 2 hits and they were basically dead. No myrimidons (or sword masters) made it into my final team in either of those games. (Though I guess they were both more useful then Meg...) I worried less about Rolf, or even Soren, getting killed, if they could be reached by an enemy.

I also do not like using Laguz over beorc. They look dumb imo. Does this make me racist?

Doesn't Edward have an Earth Element support? If you put any ranks into his support he should be dodging like a lunatic.

Edit: No, wait, Edward has Light. Nolan is the one who has Earth out of the initial Dawn Brigade. Nevermind.

Still, you have had terrible luck with your myrmidons.
