My issues are also magnified by the main character designs probably being the actual worst I've ever seen. That's really important to me in a game. I'd like to apologize to Luso Clemins and Rex for making fun of them for so long.

I paid attention to how I did in UotY because I couldn't help myself, and I imagine a lot of other people who did were the same. It was a bigger relief when I failed to advance through a round than when I survived, because that meant it was over.

The outfits are overdone. Too much unnecessary adornment, super bright colors, etc. I prefer FE when it's more grounded. Yes, it's always been anime, but there's a difference between anime and anime. It's especially egregious when you look the old characters they're bringing back as fanservice, and all of them look way less ridiculous.

Faces are harder to describe, but in general the female characters trend far more towards moeblob territory than in previous games. Bigger eyes, smaller mouths, rounder facial bone structures with less defined features, and everything is just flat-out brighter. It's simply not an art style I like or have ever liked, especially for fantasy games. And while this mostly affects the female characters, it's affected some of the male characters too. Marth looks girlier than ever, and Ike has no muscle mass. Ike! Look at how they massacred my boy.

These are things I could forgive if the plot looked good, but it frankly looks awful. Just a fanfiction fest. Zero reason to be excited for that considering the series has already indulged in crossovers multiple times.

My ranking list is honestly just Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn clearly at the top, and everything else is mostly interchangeable. Those games are the complete packages of story, music, and gameplay. Everything else has too many demerits in certain categories.

I have yet to play FE4 or FE5 though, which I suspect I'd appreciate. Remakes please.

Then you got lucky. The fight is 100% RNG. Even with capped Ike + Aether, if Aether doesn't activate enough times in a row while BK gets Luna, you just lose.

The actual worst part of the BK fight is that it's timed, and the game doesn't tell you it's timed. Fuck off Nasir I was one turn away from winning!

Still a 10/10 experience for the atmosphere though, even if it exposes how impossible it is to do memorable 1 v 1 encounters in a strategy game setting.

Can agree that FF12 looks significantly better than what I've seen of Scarlet.

We're getting to the point where not everyone is experiencing the same inconsistent issues as everyone else, which inevitably results in a lot of "it didn't happen to me, so I don't know why people are complaining." It reminds me of when Cyberpunk released and was borderline unplayable on PS4/Xbone while being serviceable on PC.

Actually that interaction that 99% of players will avoid has a lot of edge cases.

If you fight BK and he misses:
Black Knight: ...Oh? You avoided my blow. Will you be so lucky next time?
Ike: !!

If you fight BK, survive, and then clear the stage:
Mist: Ike, you stupid fool! Fighting a knight as strong as that...You idiot! I was...so scared...
Ike: Im sorry, Mist...
Mist: Who cares...
Ike: You were really frightened...Im sorry. I truly am...
Mist: All right...

If you use cheats to kill BK, the game doesn't bother to account for it though.

Honestly I never missed the supports in Radiant Dawn as much as some other people. The main story was very extensive, and the character relationships were already established due to Path of Radiance. Also, the base Talk segments > traditional support structure, because the Talk segments can react to the ongoing plot. Other FE games definitely need them (Three Houses without supports is barely a good game) but RD not so much.
