AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I can sort of see your thoughts about Grima. It might be because he doesn't have any feet. I did think he looked odd, but not... hummingbird. That's a cool image though.

I understand Yuri Lowenthal voicing lots of different characters. Guy's gotta' eat. My only problem is that 90% of them sound the same, meaning every character he voices (save a few odd ones out) immediately reminds me of his more iconic roles.

Most people immediately go "Yosuke from Persona 4" but my immediate reaction is "Ben 10." So it's a little weird.

Oh my god, he was Ben 10. Now I can never unhear that.

I always associated Ricken with Professor Layton since his voice actor also did two major characters in two different games (Future Luke in Unwound Future and Randall in Miracle Mask).

Ricken, Donnel and Gregor are characters I pretty much never use. Something about them just rubs me the wrong way. It's definitely the accent for Donnel, combined with him using a pot as a helmet.

I think the pot's kind of hilarious. Plus he gets 30 levels as a villager, plus another 20 as whatever you promote him to.

I don't ever use Nowi, Tharja, Gregor, Miriel, or Maribelle. Mostly because they kind of fell behind. Maribelle, though... she's just such a bitch.

I can definitely see where you guys are coming from with some of those characters. A lot of them I only ever used to get support conversations, because I love support conversations and I've spent dozens of hours grinding specifically so I can see more of them.

While I don't ever really use Maribelle because she's not really all that strong, she has definitely grown on me character-wise. I can say the same for Nowi, and maybe even Donnel, too. Maribelle, though, is sort of one of those characters you really do get an obnoxious vibe from, but after seeing her interact with some of the others, Vaike and Frederick in particular, I started to kind of like her. Not to mention her kid is fantastic in just about every way.

Your aversion to Gregor, though, just confuses me. I love Gregor.

Oh no, I fucking love Gregor. I just don't use him because he fell behind (aka I'm too lazy to catch him up).

I actually compared the very low leveled Maribelle to the much higher leveled Lissa, and noticed she would probably have better stats once she got caught up, so now I kinda use both of them, but take Maribelle when theres only room for one.

Meanwhile, the only non-cleric mage i've had for a while is the self insert character. I was going to use Ricken, but I think he died or something.

Also why is Vaike the only person in like the entire game who can use an axe. Dunno if its just me but his stats are terrible, oh and hes also underleveled compared to the rest of my party because there's so few lance enemies.

Wyvern riders use axes, too, though.

To be fair, you don't get a single one until you kill Gangrel.

But Donny's the true hero of the story

I can't figure out who to pair Nowi with, any pairing with her I can think of seems wrong.

Also, I have Chrom with Sully, Protagonist with Maribelle, Lissa with Virion(wouldn't have done this but they were already at like a B level when I decided to start pairing people), and Stahl with Cordelia.

Nowi does well with Inigo because she threatens to eat him if he ever cheats on her.

...What? Nowi can't marry Inigo, he's second generation. Can she?

Probably meant Nah I bet. Either way, Inigo/Cynthia is better in my opinion. He gets jealous that all the girls swarm to her silly heroics, showering her with gifts, while he can't pick up anyone ever. Plus I thought the S rank convo was great.

Oh, right. Yeah I did mean Nah. My Nowi married Lon-qu because I thought they had a pretty good lead-up.
