Thanks, and any questions you can always ask, plus gl to your runs. I don't have any plans to return to this game anytime soon though. If I do it would be to get a perfect normal Ode run with ~6.5B, but I personally enjoy the mainline Castle Shikigami games more and end up going to them instead.

That'd be sick. Ode is so fun to play but difficult. Selma (and Nur to an extent) feels very natural for scoring in this game, whereas Kim is a bit more nuanced, probably because of the difficulty Shiki has compared to here. Maybe I'll have to try beating down evil sometime in Shiki for score 8) @@Mishimachine

You just had to change icon, didn't you, baf?! 😡

1. If you mean about the bottom gate, I would only use Perceval if he can survive a ballista hit even with arrrowbane, maybe food could help though. Vanish stone Larentia sounds really good here though. I haven't used vanish stones much, but have thought about how powerful they can be put to use. 2. I think if you had to make a choice, Gram is almost always the best one unless it's late enough game that very soon getting or having Reese's other personal weapon will suffice. Something like this might be up to personal taste or style though, since it's hard to go wrong with a +3 weapon. If you had a full repairstone though, you could repair the Brymranger first and use the leftovers on the Gram so it is simply useable in a pinch or as a miracle charm.

It's actually refreshing that Faramir expresses such an attitude. Even a heroic person like him can hold a backwards attitude. I'd rather have a diverse set of people with different beliefs and biases than everyone being unrealistically progressive. Also, he's not just doing it for the sake of being mean. Faye's stats in STR are rather shakey and if she's unlucky in level ups, the player will be forced to depend on equipment to boost her strength and it's realistic that females will always be inferior to males in pure strength. And he's the only one who expresses this opinion. Almost everyone in-game don't have a problem with women being warriors.

​@@arielhachinto3064 I am not criticising the game for writing a cast with different or disagreeing opinions, nor am I saying that every character necessarily needs to be progressive in a medieval fantasy setting. It's healthy to have a roster that doesn't always get along because that's how you get interesting conflict and character drama. My issue is that I don't think this is interesting, so I am criticising Kaga for importing the same sexism that existed in our world into his fictional ones without consideration for whether it would make sense given the presence of all the various magical spells, weapons, and bloodlines that exist in his world. It just feels like the story is saying one thing but the gameplay is demonstrating another - and, speaking of which, if we want to talk growths, Faye has the exact same STR rate as Faramir at 25%. It's not like he's walking around with 40%, like Arthur, you know? I'm not frothing mad at Kaga or anything, I just think it's an outdated trope that was getting old even in the 2000s.

​@@PureAwesamness I don't think it's an outdated troupe at all nor does he write women to be inferior, just each to their own natures while also not being stiff as even you acknowledge with Brigid, who has a very motherly and feminine side of her shown in FE5 while also being blessed with holy blood strength. Faramir doesn't say these things to bring her down, he dedicated his life to protecting her for his master and he both wants her to realize that it isn't some game that she imagines in her head, as well knowing it would instigate her to grow as he sees her potential. Magical fantasy also doesn't just wash away all sense of normal human interactions clean. I also find the use of these traditional archetypes while also bringing out the characters personalities to be much more compelling than the vast majority of things today, and I feel like trying to force how you think things ought to be instead of how the world is like rips out all emotion in writing. You claim that not everything needs to push a progressive idea, while also saying anything else is outdated.

​@@Mishimachine Please do not twist my words to make me out to be arguing the points you want to argue against. I never said, "Kaga writes women as inferior." I said that Kaga uses a trope that's showing its age a lot, and that I don't feel it carries the same narrative weight as it would in our world given the abundance of fantasy relics and magic. This is not the same thing. Similarly, I did not say, "Everything needs to push a progressive ideal and everything is outdated." I said, "Not every *character* necessarily needs to be progressive in a medieval fantasy setting." Again, these are not the same statements.

Even if women could fight as well as men there is still comparative advantage to not putting their lives at risk in combat because they represent a reproductive bottle neck that men do not. Some people theorize that the reason that men are stronger than women in our reality is a consequence of this and the fact that weak men all died.

They only appear if Faye is recruited, as she is a forced deployment then. Dean is a strong contender with vengeance, otherwise you may have to rig crits with Lynette/Reese adjacent bonus. Daoud's battle cry could help as well with setting up pulverize (with a vanishstone so he moves next to you if the turn movement is weird even). Miracle charm deathmatch Volo can also rack up some chip damage safely. You can even shoot him with a ballista, but that alone wouldn't be enough.

@@Mishimachine thanks i managed to beat him but i took my sweet time to stack odds on my side as i didn’t even have daoud or faye or dean ! more than a 100 turns and lost 4 guys on last 2 turns against the boss as i was running short of everything… what a game ! was quite tough for me to get money and i was always short to resupply…

@@remitemmos9165 is there a new game+ or any reward for beating the game?

@@Henderson711 the reward is beating the game, good enough! no, no new games plus but replayability is there for a second playthrough or more since you can make so many different choices.

@@remitemmos9165 I just wanted to know if there was an option to keep your gold, items, etc.. I was 10 chapters in but hadn't played for almost a year so I wanted to know if I should stick it out or restart.

You're not wrong about IS falling short with innovation. Kaga essentially making games he personally wants to make as a passion instead of games that are sure to sell, and experimenting with these ideas are not something a large developer would be willing to risk. Tear Ring Saga, as much as I love that game for instance, has some maps that are the worst, and ideas that are really cool but sometimes fall short in ways. Without this experimentation, it's impossible to meaningfully innovate outside just small tweaks. This did happen a little with IS though with Awakening going into Conquest. They really did a good job perfecting those ideas with the pair up mechanic, but the package as a whole is lacking because a story managed by a committee pulling in all sorts of directions instead of an artist's vision usually ends up scattered.

The few reviews Berwick Saga gets usually praise it for an excellent strategy game. Even reviews that don't like the game (due to the fickle RNG and being unforgiving for first time players) still find time to praise it as a very good game but with flaws. The real problem is that the game has poor visibility and only niche players ever bother to actually show it. Even among the FE youtubers who praise Kaga seem to be reluctant at best to even touch the game.

I was so nervous he was gonna end me again that I tunnel visioned and didn't see the cannon load when the rocket shook.

@@Mishimachine I'm surprised you did the bomb strat again after last time lol

@@wabbyleg I learned exactly why it didn't work after that, so I was confident of that one.
