Sacred Stones diverges in the middle so you either follow Eirika or Ephraim. Each time I choose Eirika.

 

In Blazing Sword there's also a second playthrough where instead of playing as Eliwood you can play as Hector and do his story. Fates obviously had the three separate games (like a proto-3H in a lot of ways). And in Genealogy of the Holy War how you play the first half (which characters you pair together, etc) directly impacts the events of the second half. But in a more limited way than Three Houses. In fact, Genealogy is probably the closest to Three Houses. And Genealogy kind of lays out the groundwork for the kid system in Awakening and Fates.

 

 

Just figured out how to quote.  Doesn't everyone pike Eirikas path?

Maybe. But that doesn't mean that there isn't a second path. Or that I've cleared the game 5 times never choosing that path or literally deviating from any of my other options like which characters to support with one another.

I said what I said as well. And I'm far from the first host to take part in the final rankings. Nearly every host has actually, yet you come at me for some reason. LOL.

Other hosts in rankdowns that I've played include their rankings as part of the public nominations, which have significantly less impact. Yours count as if you're a ranker, which is not the case.

Youre going to distribute these so that I am not writing 32 write ups correct?

 

Yes. As I said, if I see that players have too many, I will re-distribute them to even them out. LOL.

 

I'm just going through the motions for now and will figure that out once all the reveals have happened.

Wow. Tom positively responding to something I said? LOL.

 

If you had voiced a concern, I would have taken that into account concerning the rankings. I feel like I've worked my ass off as a host for this Rankdown and made it very unique and fair. There were no public members following along to submit a ranking, except for CGF who was a past player. So I didn't want to include CGF as a public ranker to come back scorned as heck. LOL.

That's fine I probably wouldn't have filled it out anyways.

I've genuinely never heard anything about Valkyria Chronicles. That is the only game in the finals (besides FE games) that I do not know much of anything about. 

 

 

I don't like shooters but it is so much fun.  Its like a shooter RPG.  I am happy I was able to bring it this far though.

Shooter RPG? That's interesting. I might need to check this out tbh.

 

61st for a game from a series that does not seem massively popular is really good.

I bought Valkyria Revolution the other day during the game stop sale when they had buy 2 get 2 used game sale. I am guessing they are similar games it's kinda fun the little that I have played of it so far.

I think Valkyria Chronicles, despite having 3 sequels, 2 spin-offs, two anime series (based off the 1st and 3rd games respectively), and manga adaptations of the first three games kind of flew under the radar in the west. It's about $20 on the Switch.

 

I think Tactical RPGs are not as popular in the West as they are in Japan (and in turn I think RTS games tend to be more popular in the West than in Japan).

The second and third game blow.  The first game is brilliant.  Lots of animated cut scenes.  

 

I have heard great things about 4, that its similar to the first game in everything that made it great.  Haven't played 4 though.
