Just read Book 1 of Mystery of the Emblem. Fazit: Me likes.

Story: I liked it.

Things that were not so good: Needs more Jeigan. Needs Sheeda as main lord.

People I liked: Sheeda. Rena. Chiki and Bantu. Midia and Astria.

Also, looking at Jeigan´s sprite at serenesforest: He looks like Solid Snake. What is that grey streak over his face? Does he have an eyepatch (which would make him a hundred times more awesome)?

Also no. 2: Marcus and Jeigan totally should meet. It would be glorious.

Edit:

Alright, finished Book 2 earlier but I had things to do so I couldn't write down my thoughts earlier.

I have to say, storywise it's also good, but feeling-wise I liked Book 1 a teensy bit more. Mostly because it felt like there was some story low in the middle of Book 2. I dunno, it was strange. However, the whole thing with Hardin was more interesting than "only" Garnef in part 1.

Book 2 has one big plus though 8D Moar Jeigan. Yay~ Also, I stay true to myself: I don't really give a fuck about the main protagonist. XD Sheeda was also still awesome, even if she wasn't there that much. And Chiki <3

To break it down like above:

People I liked: Jeigan. Sheeda. Chiki. Sheema/Samson. Hardin. A handful of minor characters you only see once XD (I again stay true to myself)

Things that were not that good: The strange story low. The massive info dumps that could've been distributed better.

Things that I loved: The "ending" you get when you did not collect all the shards. Hehehe >8)

Also, semi-related to this: I finally found out the exact reason why I do not like Innes. Dunno if I'll make a post about it. I don't feel like it at the moment. Hm, we'll see...

The "Old, single man adopts a child and they are an adorable family unit" is a trope that appears in most FE games, isn't it?

And I fall for it every time, goddammit.

But it's so cute~ FE4 has Hannibal and Corple (or Sharlow), FE6 Douglas and Lalam, FE7 Marcus and Lowen (yes, that counts for me. And they're the funniest duo), FE8 Duessel and Amelia. I don't think there was something like that in 9/10 and I can't think of such duos in the other games. Daw, so squishy cute~

I actually like most of the replacement kids more than the... how would you call them anyway? Originals? Anyway, it doesn't mean too much, because until now I don't have too many reasons to like anyone as of yet. Celice is fun at times, Oifey feels like Seth-lite (why did they call him tactician at the beginning? Though, as I see it, it was more like at 14 he was a knight-in-training and since he was not ready to enter battle, he was concentrating on strategy and was good at it. That's why he could only be the "tactician". He was only 14, though, and still didn't know or could do too much. I believe he did more background organizing rather than battle arrangements. And in the second part he's a bit more like Seth; does know his shit, but there are "professionals" (Innes and Levin) who can do that better than him so he concentrates on other things. He's more of a advisor, if at all. So.) Oh, and I do like Shanan. He is also fun at times.

Fandom-unrelated:

How did "Schnaps" turn into "schnapps"? Where did the second "p" come from? o.O
