Board 8 > Looking back, I realize why I was so bad at RPGs.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why did Golbez kill me in FF4? Why was I cannon fodder for Algus in FFT? WHY DID MY OSWIN GET KILLED BY A SNIPER IN FE7?

Simple. I'm not cut out for this genre. I've spent more time being bored by random encounters and grinding than spending time actually fighting. On the other hand, I kill at pIatformers, fighting games, and action/adventure titles. I don't know if it's brain chemistry or what, like how some people are geared towards certain subjects and not others.

Either way, I think I've managed to solve my own mystery. And for the record, history and English were my favorite subjects in school; I blow at math. >>

Only thing you need for RPGs is patience.

Thanks for that, Durango.

Hey Topic Creator, do you have a girlfriend?

You were so bad at RPGs because... you're bad at RPGs?

Which are, funnily enough, RPGs.

So your boredom with grinding and random encounters is why you got Oswin killed in FE7, a game with no random encounters or grinding. Impressive feat.

Yes it was. I even managed to win HHM mode after having 11 characters left and losing several of them in the last chapter.

I assure you, my dear, all Ace Detectives are perfect gentlemen!

You realize all you have to do to beat Golbez is summon Titan and he automatically dies

We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable

Simple. I'm not cut out for this genre.

It took you years to come to this conclusion?

I don't think you're cut out for solving "mysteries."

Ironically, you mostly CAN'T grind in most Fire Emblems...

There's always hope for better things in life. But you can't let anything, friend, lover, God himself, be your hope. You have to be your own hope.

I tried to once.

Took you only slightly less time than figuring out the "mystery" of the FF4 Hovercraft.
