Obviously I need to use my Pokémon icons more! :P

Anyway, re: FE Contest, you can definitely join to comment and vote. Deffffinitely. The people in the FE fandom are sad because they don't get many comments on their writing, so they will squee with delight to see a new person.

Oh hey if you're an IkeSoren fangirl I know the right people you should talk to! If you see Amielleon around, she's a huge IkeSoren fan as well. :D Writes great fic, too!

FE7 had a horrrible plot. Well the first part was cheesy but good, and the main plot was like, "derp". I love the game though, mostly because I looove the characters. The franchise reminds me a bit of Harvest Moon because you have Options, which is nice. So you can get characters together AND play strategy AND have a decent plot. But the BEST plot ever has to be the combination of 9 and 10. They were really great together, and like you said, introduced cities slowly so you wouldn't forget them as easily as, say, the other games. (A close friend still confuses Bulgar and Badon from FE7, so if longtime fans get confused you know something's up!)

Use all the Pokemon icons! I have a disproportionate amount of Pokemon icons because I joined LJ for a Pokemon toy collector community. Come to think of it, I really need to get more FE icons, now that I have a paid account with more icon space...

Awesome! I am always looking for Ike/Soren fic.

Yeah, the FE7 characters are great! I always have a hard time deciding who to use on my team. The first time I played FE7, I had to restart the final chapter so many times because all my characters were under-leveled (due to me trying to train too many at once) and kept dying. On the 7th or 8th restart, I finally got to the dragon boss... who sniped and killed Lucius from 3 squares away. By that point I decided "screw it, I am not restarting again!" Poor Lucius. *When the credits said "Lucius: died in Light" it took me a minute to realize it was not some type of bad joke about him being a light mage.)

I thought the main plot of FE7 was okay, and even had some good dialogue in certain parts, but I generally skip it on my replays. Unlike FE9/10, where I read the plot every time.

I keep seeing people mention Harvest Moon. If I wanted to get into that series, which game would you recommend starting with?

Come to think of it, I should probably carry this conversation over to your journal, but I am lazy. Also, this thread is a few days old. I doubt anyone else is still checking it.

It'd be funny if secretly like, 20 people were following this conversation. :P

Harvest Moon is a good older game. TBH the only good versions were the N64 and the PS1 versions of the game, but I might be biased. My sister likes one of the Gamecube ones, too-- I could check the title of that one for you if you like.

Who are your favorite FE7 characters? Betcha can't guess who mine are. (/trollface.jpg) Obviously for FE9/10 your favorites are Ike and Soren! Or I'm assuming. Who else do you like? :D

I tried one of the Gamecube Harvest Moons and couldn't really get into it... but iirc, it was one that got mixed reviews. Even some long-term fans didn't like it. I do still own my N64 and a PS2. I'll have to see if one of my friends has any old Harvest Moon games that I could borrow...

Hmm... my favorites from FE7 are probably Hector, Serra (because she is hilarious) and Erk (because his name is fun and I love that he gets "stuck" with Serra). I like almost all of the characters though, and lately I've been looking for Karel and Lucius fic after reading their A support. The only characters I'm not too crazy about are Wallace, Lowen, and Marcus. I think I would like Marcus well enough if he was more useful. Too bad his stat growths suck. :/

My favorite from FE9/10 is definitely Soren, followed by Ike and Reyson. Other characters I like: Mia, Rhys (and Mia/Rhys; their support conversations made me ship it), Haar, Jill, Janaff, Naesala, Kurthnaga, Shinon, Pelleas, Micaiah, Sothe, Tormod, Zihark, Skrimir, Ranulf, Lethe... Well, everyone from FE9, basically except for Illyana, because I wish she would talk about more than food in her support convos. I like most of the characters in FE10 too, but I feel like the lack of true support conversations kind of hurt them on the characterization front. It feels like Pelleas, Micaiah, and Skrimir were the only ones who really got fleshed out. Even the characters you start off with, like Nolan and Edward, didn't get much in terms of character development.
