[ Fire Emblem: Awakening ] – Love & Venting

I love pancetta too, bacon is so delicious!

I love pancetta too, bacon is so delicious!

I’ve made some light progress, after being stuck for frustratingly long!  Finally I was able to defeat one of the random monster battles, which gave me enough level ups and Support/compatibility increases that dealing with Chapter 5 was actually doable!  Also, I really must thank eschmiel for helping me out!!!  His advice to use Sumia, the pegasus knight,  to ferry the two hostages out from the enemy line and in to safety helps enormously!  No more desperate run arounds, haha.  I’m just so glad to be over with that chapter!

As you can see from the top picture, I finally got Chrom and my character, PANCETTA, to hit S-class compatibility!!  I love the little relationship interludes throughout the game; it’s a nice break from all the strategizing, and each compatibility level up helps my units on the battiefield so much, it’s 100% rewarding.  Definitely something you look forward to as a player.  Most of my other characters are only at around C-A support levels, but that’s totally fine… I’m still in the beginning of the game, and don’t want anyone to hit S and get married yet.

Marriage….apparently, if you hit S, your characters will not only have stellar support of each other in battle, they get married and have a kid!  It’s a cool prospect that I’m looking forward to, though I’m not totally sure how the game will explain giving me a playable character that was JUST born.  We shall see.  If you don’t want any [minor] spoilers for Chrom and your avatar, in terms of love, turn away now!

Chrom confesses – finally! – to PANCETTA that he loves her.  However, my logical tactician, pretty as a cyclops could be, rejected Chrom’s advances.  They had their duty to the army, there was a war to fight.  But if the two of them survive this all….they would be free to pursue their hearts’ desires.  Awww!  So she loves him too!!!  But that means no marriage yet.  Ecstatic, Chrom made this face…..

I'm almost surprised there aren't any red roses blossoming around his face! :P

Hahahaha.  Those two are now in pink bubble princey world.

After bragging to my boyfriend about hitting S grade, he sent me this article from Kotaku.com …. and then I boiled with rage :(  I’ve contemplated deleting everything below this part of my post.  It’s petty. I should not be so affected by some online stranger’s words.  But then I thought, to hell with it, it’s my blog….sure I wish I took a step back, cooled off, and made this better written.  But couldn’t delete it….
