https://youtube.com/watch?v=eYlu4ib5g74PoR animation skip patch is currently in progress. Battles now take only over 1 second with animations turned off.

The scope of this patch, for now anyway, is actually more ambitious even than what's shown here; it's not just overworld combat animations, it's things like speeding up armor knight movement with animations on, too. Very good stuff. Between this and still using emulator speedup because PoR will still be on the slower side anyway the combat forecast patch, anyone playing PoR on Switch 2 is going to be getting a markedly worse experience. Unless the Big N actually integrates commonplace GC emulator features into their shitty subscription service, which they probably won't.

Only semi-related, but I've never liked being told to judge PoR with the benefit of emulator speedup and patches for 2 reasons:
  • every game is way better with speedup and patches
  • I'm a petty vindictive bitch and PoR fans have been arguing it's better than every other FE game in every way long before Dolphin was viable
My bitchiness is way less valid the longer emulation is by far the cheaper, better, easier, and more available experience, though. PoR is potentially in the center of some emulation and service drama the more normies and, by extension, Nintendo realize this. It's not just a PoR problem either, it's a common Gamecube RPG problem; Pokemon Colosseum, XD, Skies of Arcadia, Yugioh Falsebound Kingdom just off the top of the dome were slow games even for the time, and that was before we had YouTube Shorts and TikTok. Critics of the time would shit on RPGs that weren't 100 hours long or whatever, so a lot of them were padded out in ways that haven't aged gracefully.

Maybe I'm just being dramatic/autistic over what's ostensibly just a bonus for the NSO subscription, and noone will actually give a shit.
 
Chyat, we all use our first knights crest in Sacred Stones on Gilliam, right?

I think I did. Mainly because Seth is so busted there's no real rush to promote any of the cavaliers.
Gilliam is... alright, he's no Oswin. I don't typically use knights from the GBA titles for long because their movement is a bit tedious to deal with, and I'm really stingy with boots.
 
One of the reasons Cavaliers are so good in GBA is precisely because they can help out units with poor mobility like Knights.

Just rescue Oswin with a Cavalier and drop him with another Cavalier in that same turn so he is wherever he needs to be!
 
Since someone brought up GBA cavaliers, Lowen is a real conundrum. If you look at his growths, he's a mediocre-at-best unit on paper. I don't think I've ever had a bad Lowen, though. Anecdotal "turned out for me" experience is usually a terrible way to judge a character (Eliwood,. Erk etc.) but he always seems to end up somewhere between good and amazing when I use him.

If I had to guess I'd say it's partly because of his utility causes him to be a little overleveled, and partly because in a class designed to charge ahead into the melee having a lot of defense and HP goes a long way.

TL:DR: If you look up Lowen's stats on the wiki, you'd think he was terrible. But he is pretty great 👍
 
oh look at the comments, it's funny

Really only Tranny Boyle being belligerent. They're all riled up lately though, just saw this on the newest Speedwing shitpost:

EDIT: Seems like every comment that's not directly antagonistic usually gets hearted, so it's not like the rapist is getting any special treatment.

Right now /r/fireemblem is comparing Trump to |Insert FE Villain Here| because tariffs are preventing them from...preording the new Lucina figure. Figma? I don't care. So if you like reading consoomer brainrot about how Edelgard is Kamala Harris and /r/fireemblem is one of the few subs that isn't full of crazy republican apologists...somehow, there is still no shortage of that. No, I'm dead serious, they really are actually saying those things.

I've always wondered what makes these sorts of people drawn to FE of all things. While the past decade might've exacerbated it, it's not really new; at least from my recollection there always seemed a dedicated portion of the pre-Awakening fanbase that was obsessed with Ike's sexuality and race relations in Tellius.

Anime artwork + a game genre that rewards being autistic as shit.

You know, I'm not so sure the average citizen really appreciates being browbeaten by men in dresses.

I'd say it really exacerbated when Three Houses got released. It was basically a second "Awakening" for most people, as they became fans of FE because of it. It was a funny time to be there thinking about it, as I kept seeing loads of new people show up, and YouTubers I watched who never played a FE game before were making videos about 3H.

it gets funnier because this the "evidence" they claim to post was bupkis.

I just think they want some form of notoriety and think someone's an easy target.

Also, from what I've heart, Donlot and Speedwings are apparently in a relationship. Weird how they target two gay men.
