Tell me about this cute elf, then. Convince me that she deserves a love thread.

>Convince me that she deserves a love thread.
Because I want it and my will is above anyone's.

>>9801314
She can learn kung fu

>>9801319
Her ears, cute.

I also require additional information on this elf and her game.

>>9801409
Game is on the post. Play it.

>>9801452
More like it's Fire Emblem but doesn't suck

Sorry but i like horses better

>>9801452
It's fire emblem but better

Man of taste. Mae > May btw

Why is Sega still ashamed of Shining Force's existence? With Fire Emblem's success, it would be reasonable to give it a try.

Isn't she a round ear rather than a knife ear? Coulda sworn her in game portrait had round ears.

>>9803492
The portraits in 2 zoom in on the face too much, cutting off the ears.

>>9802030
I love SF but 1-800-COME-ON-NOW

>>9803489
Fire Emblem isn't a goldmine, even with the massive Smash Bross publicity, the series is only moderately successful.
Also Shining Force has almost no weight to its name at this point, making a new Shining Force is just as valid as creating a whole new IP.

>>9803508
I meant success regarding what Nintendo must be investing on them. They don't look like they cost too much to make.

>>9803506
Not that anon, but back in the day, Shining Force had a lot more personality due to the world and characters. I like both though. Fire Emblem's come a long way.

>>9801312
I'm not going to deny Sarah's greatness but she's not the BEST SFII girl. Pic related

>>9804175
I always thought Mithula (that was her name, right?) would join the Force eventually but she never did. : (

>>9803506
Fire Emblem was always shit and if it wasn't for Smash and Nintendo nobody would give a fuck about it.

I still can't get over how she was cucked in the ending.

>>9805621
I can't get over how cucked she is by being featured in that awful fucking drawing.

>>9805621
>cucked
go drink bleach

>>9803508
I blame Tony Taka for no other reason than I can. I just wish Kajiyama were still around

>>9801314
She's a mage whose best class upgrade is to turn her into Magic Bruce Lee.

>>9805413
Mitula. I mean she's a goddess, so it would've borked the balance. Would've been amazing as a secret character, though.

>>9806258
She's a cleric who turns into magic Chun-Li, thanks.

>>9805369
Oh yeah!!

>>9801314
she doesnt. she harbors a love for the MC, despite them almost never actually interacting. she's a dick to the guy that actually loves her. her base portrait is homely at best. her battle sprite is just robes and hood. she's a healer, and early game she falls behind unless you save 1hp scraps for her to clean up. all of the other healers provide more utility than her. if you promote her to vicar, she looks like a fat pope because the sprite is modeled after frayja, one of the other, better healers. if you promoter her to master monk, her sprite is sexy, but thats because its modeled specifically for sheela, again one of the other healers. she's fucking useless and outclassed in every metric. only retard simps bother catering to her to make her any kind of functional, but again, with the same sort of effort they could be using a better character instead.

>>9806970
Imagine being this someone likes a character

>>9806970
I remember playing the game and being gobsmacked at the ending where she gets pissed and storms out of the room once Bowie makes out with the princess. There's literally zero indication she had a thing for him before then.

>>9806005
Yes, the artist is to blame for Sega abandoning the series after 3 and then digging it back from the grave just to turn into a bunch of generic action RPGs that no one asked for.

>>9801312
Karna is better.

>>9806970
Glad to see that you're both autistic and bad at the game as usual.

>>9803489
Because Camelot went "fuck SEGA"!

Into the trash it goes then, thanks for the info m8.

>>9807459
>>9807462
built for orcs.

>>9806592
>she's a goddess, so it would've borked the balance
Yeah. In my head, and keep in mind i was a kid at the time, i thought she might lose her powers and join the force. But no.
Instead, we got shitty ass Taya.

>>9808845
I used to think Astral would be recruitable at some point.

>>9808917
He does.

>>9807063
if i remember right, there are a couple of lines when you talk to her or others in headquarters or something. maybe the nazca ship, or the boat when you land at grans. its something really small, and i dont even recall if it is hinted at from talking directly to her (like her being bashful or something), or if it was from talking to somebody else, but it is vaguely alluded to.
>>9807359
you have no valid counterargument. you're just a salty bitch that refuses to face facts and simps for her anyway.

>>9808462
Apparently not given the lack of SF R34.

>>9803506
I played both series and good lord, FE is the blandest most boring SRPG ever. Always kept dropping them halfway. The new ones are even worse.

>>9803508
>Shining Force has almost no weight to its name at this point, making a new Shining Force is just as valid as creating a whole new IP
Extremely retarded take, but that's what Sega probably thinks.

>>9809573
>Series have 2~3 games that are considered good, but also went under the radar for most people
>Another 30 games that range from average to mediocre
Ah yes, bet people will be hype to hear Sega is adding another title to the series.

>>9809637
A lot of people remember those 2-3 games fondly. And the SF threads pop up on /vr/ pretty often.

Sarah really gets cucked so terribly. Bowie will really drop his cute childhood friend/classmate for some rich girl he doesn't even know? Also, as an elf she'll be young throughout his life span while the princess is already more than halfway to hagdom.

That all said, May is the best girl

>>9809658
People love the original games, but they won't DO anything with that timeline/set up. That GBA port probably would've done okay if it had been advertised at all, or been easy to get. Back in the day I had to go on a fucking hunt to find a store that had it, and that was when it was new!

>>9808845
C'mon, anon, Taya tries her best.

>>9810036
>cucked
end yourself
