I didn't realize until reading this comment! These are great!!

Cursed? What could possibly be more blessed than my trio of forged weapons (UwU OwO and ÒwÓ).

Also want to add for my run I made Gray and Tobin their canon classes of mercenary for Gray and archer for Tobin and also did not use any pitchforks to reclass

@@LostBlade776help those are their canon classes?? Those are the ones I happened to make them into 💀💀

@@OrigamiAhsoka Yeah Gray, Tobin, and Kliff all have canon classes which the game references in Ram Village of you interact with some stuff around Ram Village it mentions Tobin's archery, Gray being a swordfighter, and Kliff practicing magic although both Faye and Atlas do not have canon classes there is nothing like that for either of them

The suggested classes for the villagers kind of blow though. Gray should be putting his strength points into Hunter's Volley, Tobin should be using that base speed + early Excalibur, and Kliff's worse class is probably mage. I think he's a great Merc because he's basically guaranteed to double enemy DFs in the lategame

@@ellachino4799 I don't remember how good mage Kliff is but I think merc Gray is really good and archer Tobin is alright

It’s because they realized the neck is what makes you vulnerable to magic. They had to make great sacrifices to become the most useful class in Echoes.

That's easy for me

Atlas, Catria, and Pall all do that. But I think what they intend is for players to go fight shadow sword guy, then realize that their buddies won’t take such tomfoolery, re-recruit them, and THEN take on Grieth. At least, that’s how I think the thought process went. I can’t speak for game designers, but I get the feeling as someone who has worked on games.

@@theoreticallymoss that is something i highly doubt, mostly because that feels to me like bad game design. i think a lot of players would assume you couldn't immediately re-recruit them, i personally panicked when atlas left, and immediately soft reset my game, reloading my save file from before attempting the map. i didn't even finish the cutscene. also on that same logic, the player already has three recruits telling them to go west, so i think the devs just expected them to do that before even trying to continue north. the last reason i highly doubt this …i didn't know atlas wasn't the only one to leave, the reason being (besides resetting mid cutscene) is that when i finally beat this map, i managed to lose both my pegasus knights in the process. this map is easy if you do it later, but either i suck, or it's really hard when you do it first, because i found it so hard i genuinely thought i was sequence breaking by tackling it first, and would've given up immediately if i didn't want that shadow sword. honestly the more i think about it, they probably just intended it to be easy, possibly as a way for players to calm down after throwing them against the literal max amount of enemy units the game can handle.

You’re definitely not the first person to mention not knowing what retreat does, though the game never does properly explain it. I only knew because I have a tendency to play RPGs too quickly and thus have to find every possible cheesable mechanic due to being way underleveled. Echoes was no exception to this.

You probably know this tbh but yeah

Yeah, I’m well aware. It’s just more worth while to hope for good RNG on additional stat growths than hitting a bare minimum (which was extremely helpful in this case).

@@theoreticallymossit does seem like it worked out well Also I didn't know about the Secret Shrine, thanks for the info lol

I could, but also killing Zeke is funnier.

@@theoreticallymoss also something something exp

I stole it (my dump of Echoes was corrupted, so I had to re-dump my cartridge, so there are various render errors until a certain point).

​@@theoreticallymossI see. Well, I have your nose

actually the best entry in the series

@@rainingrotom oh aye? How do you figure that?

Such a concerning take
