In the beginning, all Fire Emblem players had one shared experience...and that was Marcus STEALING all the experience, leaving Rebecca STARVING and unable to fulfill her role as a 5-star super carry!! In the over two decades since Fire Emblem was first brought to the west in janky, early 2000s English, both the playerbase and unit viability discussion have evolved.
Now, Marcus is considered the best and Rebecca is considered among the worst, even though the game itself has not changed a single byte. But who gets to decide who is the best and who is the worst?! What does it even mean to be the best or worst?!
Are Elitists in their ivory tower choking new blood out of the franchise by trying to win imaginary internet arguments? Are Casuals descecrating Kaga's sacred vision by sweeping Eliwood normal mode with Rebecca?!
Join us for the MODERN day GameFaqs...a livestream discussion! As a professional Elitist, I will do my best to explain why I believe critical unit analysis is an essential part of the Fire Emblem experience for both new and veteran players alike.
This is the PREMIUM edit of the livestream discussion, including a showcase of the Evil Elitist superboss challenge!
Let's! Foruming!
