Okay to be fair, I mostly just want to play through this again but decisions are hard for me. For those who don't know, Fire Emblem is a Strategy RPG. Basically what you get if your typical fantasy RPG was played like Chess instead. Everyone has various stats like strength and speed that have a chance to increase as they level based on a combination of their personal and class growth rates, and different weapons to equip which have a rock-paper-scissors relationsship with each other to grant small advantages in battles. Simple concept.
What's special about Fire Emblem is the fact that every character is unique, with a face, name, history and personality, hopes and dreams, goals for the future. And that death is permanent and utterly irreversible.
Because of this, the game throws a lot of characters at you, so you can replace the ones that fall in battle. But that always makes me feel bad. So I retry until I can win without anyone dying. Which leaves you with 50+ units total, where only a handful can be deployed on any given map.
So to make this a bit more fun, I figured group participation would be in order! If you like! You can collectively make certain decisions, like who to field on any given map, or who gets to Promote to a higher Class (kind of like Evolution in Pokemon) and when!
I can strive to be as informative as humanly possible, so even people with absolutely zero experience with the franchise can make educated decisions without having to go looking everything up or feeling like they're missing information. Let me know if this is something you guys would think would be fun. We can do it here, or over some other medium of your choice, if it has some way of facilitating something like this.
As always for those familiar with any given series, no spoilers! Not everyone knows things, even when they're old. If you really need to say something, or have a question about something specific that's spoilery, you can PM me directly.
Oh and...if I can persuade Heero, there might even be some NFRP-oriented rewards for the people who get involved regularly ;3
