Fire Emblem Fates Revelation
/finally/ finished grinding every single s-support and recruited the kids whose chapters become a nightmare once the units are promoted (soleil, shiro, forrest, sophie iirc). revelation is proof that kids are entirely unnecessary in fire emblem fates as a whole because the amount of money, time and effort it took to grind even the most overlevelled units in the game was too damn much. at its core the mechanic is heavily flawed, because i can't see how you are supposed to get all units in the game without grinding because of how underlevelled half of your units are compared to the enemies you face in subsequent chapters. intsys dropped the ball so hard on this, it fell into a third world of invisible people
not to mention the explanation for kids doesn't even relate to the rest of the game. if fire emblem switch has kids again i hope that the explanation actually makes sense (given the story, at least), like in like awakening, and isn't bloody baby bubbles.
anyway cleared the next two chapters. aside from the low unit count i'm actually loving the valla maps, the replica map was certainly more fun the second time.
literally the game becomes royals plus whatever units you decided to level up from hoshido plus fuga even after i've grinded mostly everyone else to a point where their skills are actually good for the kids (whenever i get around to popping their bubbles). oh well
calling it now, anthony is an evil ~something~
