That doesn't mean much in my eyes, considering the difficulty of that portion of the game. Quote: A lot of her lategame durability win is also overkill. She could have 10 less avo, for example, and still not die. That's actually not true. Franz is not invincible, while Vanessa is. 100-Hit enemies do indeed exist in this game, in addition to 120-Hit Dracozombies. Yes, Franz wins offense by more than Vanessa wins defense, and Franz also has an earlygame win, which doesn't matter all that much. Overall, I'm not inclined to say that his leads matter more than flying, given the vast amounts of terrin in this game. The oceans, the bridges, the mountains--this game easily has 3-4 times the terrain that FE7 has, and, unlike FE7's flyers, Vanessa has no weaknesses except for mediocre Str, which is changed to above-average Str thanks to supports. Vanessa > Franz as far as I'm concerned. Also, Eph. Route Ephraim > Franz? I'm afraid I don't understand. Ephraim caps level and then is unable to promote; Franz doesn't possess this problem. The more and more you restrict your team size, the bigger and bigger this problem gets. Quote: I don't get the massive Seth hype. Early on, his stats may as well be 0 whenever he does nothing, which is most of the time. He's your basic mobile security guard/meat shield but that's it. When his EXP problem is (midgame) over other people still get priority for training because they still need to work towards promotion, and then endgame he loses in pure statistics to people like Lute and Franz. The ability to one-round virtually anything in the game for a big portion of it is indeed handy. Also, even though he gains little EXP, he's most definitely getting kills. There's no reason to deprive him of kills. No, people don't get priority for kills. There's no EXP Rank in this game, so there's no reason to give away Seth's share of the kills. If you have to do that, it just means that Seth is even better than his own stats would suggest; he's letting others be at a higher level by not needing kills himself. The first is just easier to measure, but the second is quite a degree better. Also, Amelia for bottom of Bottom Tier? Huh? I can't see that at all. She's actually decent once trained (as good statistically as the likes of Gilliam, Forde, and Kyle); the only difference is that she needs to get EXP to get there. Quote: If Neimi wins offense, and durability is arguable, Ross is clearly losing. Neimi doesn't have a big win in offense, however. Atk vs. AS; it's just that the AS matters more in more situations. The Atk definitely matters as well, and then once you factor in that Ross actually isn't stuck to Archer for half of the game, Ross is winning overall. Even her transition into Ranger, for reasons Mekkah named, isn't perfectly fluid.
