Robin (Fire Emblem) Ability

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Starting at 9:05, Robin starts talking about how they can analyze people and see the flow of battle

And what ability would that be?

Ignoring the fact he's just making sense of the gameplay, what would it be? Outside of really good strategy making on the fly.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

I don't know where to go with seeing the flow of battle, but probably just being able to analyze people

I believe the ability you're referring to is called Pre-recognition? Anyway, I'm not sure if that entirely qualifies as anything beyond game mechanics; though, I suppose Avatars are supposed to be "The Player."

 

[TheJ-ManRequiem]

I was thinking precognition at first but none of that actually qualifies for it, he's not seeing the future after all.

Except Robin blatantly says that they can see these things @Medeus

I was thinking it was some form of limited precognition at first, but I don't really think it is

@JSW

It might just be a reflection of game mechanics or Robin's tactical and analytical ability to be honest, since they say, "I must have studied this somewhere."

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Robin says that they can even analyze power, pretty blatantly in fact

 

[Reppuzan]

We could call it a form of extrasensory perception then, given that they're able to size up anyone's general powers, specialties, skills, and equipment with a glance while maintaining abnormal spatial awareness on the battlefield.
