Her and Dozla, yup. That one was a struggle because it's three chapters into Ephraim's route, and even if you're a vet, you don't want to build around an early chapter. Only other tough chapter was Rausten Palace one where you needed to defend the throne; it's fog of war, but it will be more if you protecting your promoted scrubs than rushing to protect L'Archel's uncle.

I never got to Sacred Stones but heck, I had trouble with Blazing Sword. I can't even remember how I beat it. Never got to start Hector's mode though.

Sacred Stones, compared to most of the other games, is very easy even without its grinding enabling. Though this is relative. Sacred Stones splits at the roughly two fifths mark of the game, then comes back together for about the last quarter, where it follows one of the two main protagonists, either Princess Eirika, who is an naive idiot blue headed cabbage of a woman, or Prince Ephraim, who is more protagonist material and has better chemistry with the main villain because he doesn't almost fuck over the whole world because he wants to have sex with him, unlike his sister. Ephraim's the one with the ship level, and his campaign is somewhat more difficult in general, and yes, this is where L'Arachel joins on that route, since she appears in both.

The thing that makes the ship level uniquely fucky is actually very easy to explain. You're locked on a strip of long and relatively narrow ship terrain being swarmed with flying monster enemies with a lot of movement, of both magical and physical attack types, from fog of war. Since you're also being boarded by another ship full of monsters this means you're being surrounded and engaged from every direction from fog like no other level in the game. In basically every other level you're able to channelize and bait the enemy reliably, but not that one.
Then when L'Arachel sails her boat up she's on the other side of the monster ship from you, so her Berserker bodyguard might not be able to protect her sufficiently.

Now I heard there is a ROM hack for this game which introduced a harder difficulty and appertaining can kick your ass. I need to check ot out soon.

I think this is the one, reading the description and the few comments from defeated players sparked my interest a little.

Thabes was hard, but it's totally beatable unless you get really creative with your endgame villagers (like seriously, make Faye a Cleric, get the Anew spell at Saint, and save the Peg. Knight shenanigans for the 2nd Playthrough)

Overclasses just snap that dungeon in two, and permacuck your units into similar models with no distinctions, unless they're Alm or Celica.

Maybe I exaggerated a bit: if you have previous knowledge and looped everyone and their mums as Dread Fighter, the last dungeon will be manageable. I played the game completely blind and made several mistakes: I wasn’t aware of the DF loop until I reached Duma. Also, I did the critical mistake of classing Faye as a P Knight because I didn’t know about Clair joining up soon.
Needless to say I struggled through the dungeon until I reached him…. Sadly because I didn’t know that Alm’s death = Game Over no matter what costed me doing the entire fucking thing again.
This time I shoved that Pitchfork down her throat and reclassed her to Cleric and I fared much better.

Just beat PoR and RD for the first time. Still have zero clue where the idea of gay Ike comes from.

I truly believe it came from that final conversation that both Ike and Soren had before starting the Tower or before fighting the final boss if you chose him. This convo is extremely missable and iirc it’s a post game thing and you must do ao many bullshit to unlock it alongside the true ending.
The summary of it Soren reflected on the first day they met when he was on the verge of death because he was thrown away like a trash. Also that Ike was the first being who helped him with food, since then he swore total loyalty for him ever since before breaking down in tears .. Ike gave him one big hug
Now the trannies being retards as usual interpreted that in a sexual manner because the only thing they ever think of is SEXO SEXO SEEEEXO. Never mind that Ike did fuck some random chick later in Awakening and had a son or at least allegedly.. if you missed that out or thought “where did that come from?” I cannot blame you, you will find about this in the DLC which I can imagine many didn’t bother or care about.

I like to refer to these types of maps as ‘enemy phase killers’.

There is no gay Ike, just retards who have never had close friends so they think any same sex friendship must be gay.

You would think after the Soleil meltdowns the homosexuals would realize Fire Emblem is never going to pander to them as hard as they want it to and find something else to go mess up.

All right, what’s that about? People thinking Inigo is closet gay or something?
 
Kurohige said:
Nah, Soleil was just so assertive in her advances towards cute girls, that it was nigh-aggressive sexual harassment (e.g. the infamous Soleil-Ophelia support).
Click to expand...
Oh, right. But it’s a fucking game, and her father is a massive flirt. (And does anyone care about that?) But Soleil isn’t even gay. Her S supports are all male IIRC.

Fates and Valentia came out at a time that people were becoming hypersensitive to this stuff due to Me Too, but when have Fire Emblem characters ever been perfect paragons of morality? Subtle character flaws are a core part of the series. Even lords are never really perfect. Marth and Ike are probably the closest. People were way too hard on Gray’s and Claire’s supports. Romance between two characters is a story, not an ideal. Luckily, I think most of that hypersensitivity is behind us.

Anyway, it seems these faggots only want gay characters portrayed in a very specific light. In the end, you find there’s little reason to pander to them at all as they are such a small part of the population and they will never be happy.
 
There was some retarded forced controversy in between Fates' Japanese and international release where a "lesbian" tranny lolcow on Tumblr gave a mistranslated summary of one of Soleil's support conversations with male Kamui where he gives her a magic powder so she'll see guys as cute girls to help her get over faiting over cute girls she sees, and claimed Soleil was a lesbian who was being forcibly drugged and given gay conversion therapy to be turned straight, and then Kotaku reported on this as fact. Treehouse gave a public statement about how anything that could percieved as lesbian conversion would be removed from the English version and they partially rewrote the support conversation. Supposedly, someone who worked at Treehouse at the time later said they took direct advice from said literally who Tumblr tranny about how to make the localized game less rapey.

Poor Grey, getting blacked by modern goytendo... same as Boey.. It's always a slow boil. Random nig in Tellius, a couple nigs in Awakening, then whoops we just blackened characters who have been around for 30 years. Almost like they had a quota to meet, maybe Treehouse's western cancer rubbed off on the Echoes development team.
