Instead of removing the pair system. How about improving it? Give it some sort of weakness. i.e. splash damage

It's interesting but the problem is that you just pair up all your units up now. Rarely do you leave them unpaired unless you're going about this true classic style.

Now lets say...if it worked like this. 

Pairing units happen side by side to each other and once paired, the pair cannot move, and the characters don't merge into tiles. Rather they keep their 2 tile space. Useful in creating strong walls then without being a super mobile snowballer of death. Seriously double Galeforce too op. The fact that the pair takes up 2 tiles can also be interesting to employ in positioning, and the stat bonuses come at a cost of mobility. There's not much of an opportunity cost in FE13 if you decide to pair.

Primarly used as a defense front tactic. It would be an interesting step from what we do now which is just put 2 bulkies in a chokepoint. Fire Emblem's worst maps tend to be the defensive ones because the strategy behind them is usually the same each time. We already have a lot of offensive options, I want to see some more defensive ones.

(Just a thought, I really want them to make an escape bum rush map for once, enemy reinforcements flanking you from 3 sides and you have to plow through one side in order to escape)

They could simply make the enemies pair up, too. Then you'll be complaining it's too tough, lol.

If they could pair up but needed to stay grounded that would be fine. If they paired up and proceeded to move 9 units to attack your healer....then I'd be pissed.

Well pair up is not required in normal (I only used it once, no joking). But now that I'm playing on hard, there has been situations where unless I pair up, my unit is most likely going to die. Pairing up is practically necessary in the first chapters (unless you only use Frederick).

The most annoying thing about pairing up (and adjacent units as well) is that those units can also attack. I personally don't like that, sometimes you want the pair unit to attack and sometimes you don't, not really consistent. I wouldn't mind if they leave the pair system in future games, but please don't let the pair unit attack >.>

You gave me some shivers here

Sounds like something EA would do

And now it becomes the first Fire Emblem to reach a million copie.

Great comeback.

EA would cancel it if it did not reach 3 millions. And it would be out every year with little changes.

lol  I was going at the angle they sick of making fire emblem, so they release limited stock hoping it sell out and others would forget about the game resulting in poor sales, menaing they could bench the franchise and do something new. But fans demanded more copies lol.
