Okay, yeah. I worded my points rather poorly here. So time for clarification. What I mean by gameplay doesn't count: I mean specifically for Fire Emblem, solely because there are so many variables in a single chapter that it's pretty much impossible to say which moves the army took, who survived, who got lost, what items got used, etc. Yes, you could argue that you make your own canon in the games, but if we took that into DB, then the Fire Emblem continuity would be even more fucked than the SMT franchise.

With FE, most people agree that the only parts that actually matter when talking about feats are the beginning of a fight, the end of a fight, the main weapon of the character (what they're best known for using. Example being Hector and Armdas or Wolf Beil), and the few constant variables in their stats (basically they use grwoth rates instead of the stats themselves) and the character-specific moments that they undeniably did (such as Lyn, Eliwood and Hector killing the dragon, a feat that only they can do. Or Eliwood killing Ninian with just one strike). This helps keep the characters simple, easy to use and still viable in a fight. Now on to the main points of your argument.

>" Bruh,even if you ignore mystery of the emblem these characters can dodge arrows point blank. " Except those arrows are by no means point blank. In the 3D games, everything is scaled down to make it look better. But in 1-8, the maps are big, they're supposed to be much bigger than they look and the archers have much more space to use their bows. If we put them in the 3D games, they probably wouldn't be able to fire because of how close they are. Point is the old games were better--I mean 10 onward is not a good representation of how the battles would actually play out.

>" Power kinda depends if you want to scale her durability to Camillas dragon veins tbh. " But... Why would you though? Sure, dragons are pretty tough in the early game, but they become fodder enemies pretty much as soon as you hit the midgame in most installments. Exception being the dragon at the end of Blazing Sword and the Wyvern Riders.

>" But seriously,this "all FE characters are regular humans" meme needs to die. " I agree wholeheartedly. They're not the strongest, but to say that they're normal humans is plain wrong. I mean if you want proof just look at Rutger's crit rate. No normal human is that lucky.
