My friend and I are doing a draft run and it’s looking pretty funny.
So context:
Me and my friend are currently doing a co-op draft of Engage. One small problem: he has never played Fire Emblem before. Not only that, but he’s never even seen Engage’s characters. So based on nothing but vibes and a few gentle pushes from me (as in he’d actually pick early game units besides just Main Character), he picked his roster. Also the order in which you see it is the order in which we alternated picks, with him starting, then me, then him, etc. that is the exact order we picked. Don’t ask me why his second pick was Jade. His mind was an enigma during the draft.
NP is my friend, SO is me. Again, he has no idea what these units do, their personality, their specializations, their classes, absolutely nothing.
Any thoughts on this?
Edit: Apparently I need to put a little bit of clarification on this to provide background since I explained it poorly. First off, while it is true that this is his first fire emblem game by name, he has played and completed both Dark Deity games. In fact, that’s what made him want to try out fire emblem proper.
Second, I failed to explain what a co-op playthrough was. I stole the concept from Speedyhawk’s co-op runs of Fire Emblem. Basically, I control half the army, and my friend controls the other half. We also did this because he wanted to play a fire emblem game, but he couldn’t shell out the money for a switch and the game, so he still gets to play vicariously through me while still experiencing it (which is also what we did during Dark Deity, with him carrying me around).
Thirdly: while we did make specific rules for the playthrough (most of which benefit him), the main rule was that the rules were subject to change, especially if it’s taking away from our enjoyment.
I didn’t realize this would be a divisive topic, but I just wanted to show off me doing a stupid thing with my friend.
