-- Anime was a Mistake.
I blame the doujinshi generation coming into its own. Once they made fanfics and distasteful art about a Fire Emblem Lord characters taking their army to the beach for summer break to the beach, NOW Fire Emblem armies really do go to the beach for summer break.
For youLooks pretty tasteful all things considered. At least it's not a loli.
e: I guess my main beef is that a lot of this stuff is metagaming / FAQ fodder. Sure, some good support matchups are obvious, but I only got the option to even see everyone's support options once I was 2/3 through the game.... and even then I didn't see which of the combos only give 1 point (so basically no chance of getting it completed without grinding) or something more reasonable.
Oh yeah, I didn't really care about the support stuff (and the only in-game mention was some tutorial NPC in a house saying "you should have good compatibility with your companions" or whatever), it's just a poorly-implemented and needlessly opaque system IMO. I also suspect that getting good supports is necessary to make it through the hardmodes...You'll find that lot of stuff from this era was really reserved for FAQ's and strategy guides. God save your soul if you want to 100% any JRPG on the PS2. For FE7 in particular, there was barely any mention of the support system at all. Hell, looking at the manual, the thing covers everything but the support system (even how damage is calculated!). I would simply treat the supports as extras rather than a main game mechanic. Trying to actually use them instead of just playing the game and only sometimes pair up units purposely, is just boring.
That's not to say I like the alternative in FE:A, where pair-up = win.
Though, I am curious as to how you got such low stats on Lyn. Typically, if you advance at the optimal rate of level 20, you'd at least get above 7 STR. The RNG isn't that damning.
