  1. I hope you're right that they don't implement this.. Even at the most generous feather earnings, T20 every week, top of tempest trial and in human dedication to the voting gauntlet around (12000 though you can get higher), will net you around 47600 feathers a month if we had any hero merits, quest, and Tempest rewards you can round that up to about 50000 and even at that insane number per month it would still take you 4 months (or more precisely 16 weeks) of spending zero feathers to achieve that number that means that you could have exactly 3 6* upgrades if you spent absolutely nothing a year. Man I hope this is not a thing.
  2. Something that has been on my mind as of late is about humor in Fire Emblem games the games it’s had many approaches to humor's over the year and in more recent years has had an increased concentration of it. I know humor is a very subjective subject and a hard thing to master but I still think this would be a interesting thing to discuss where Fire Emblem succeeds and fails in its humor. I think by and large Fire Emblem is not very funny It's humor by enlarged does not appeal to me especially in the newer games and I find that it's humor can be especially damaging in many cases because if you don't like a joke it's really hard to ignore because they shove it in your face a lot of times, didn't think that Kellam joke was funny the first time well too bad you're going to hear it another 200 times. I think one of the bigger corporates here of why humor can often be grating in Fire Emblem is the special quotes that are uniquely tuned to some characters because even if you even if don’t view their conversations you're going to hear their particular brand of humor over and over again. But then again there's been Fire Emblem convos that have been actually really funny, one really good example I think at least is Dart and Farina’s Support Chain in FE 7 not only is it funny how Dart thinks of treasure but it also is revealing of the character of Fargus and his crew. Pure pointless humor can also be cool as well I usually don't find Odin that that funny but in the support with Felicia he is kind of hilarious just because of how surreal it is of Felicia just pouring hot water over him it's ridiculous yet fitting to both characters and they play off each other well. This is when I think it's humor is best when it's more dynamic then static in nature. Take Kellam for example his joke is isn't it weird that this Knight in massive armor is hard to see and notice, the major problem with this joke is that doesn't have that many applications that really change it and doesn’t it play off other people's interaction very well, it is going to end up mostly the same therefore the joke is really one note. The humor is good when both parties can play up each other and add more to the joke beyond the surface level joke that has already been made. If FE wants to continue its growing concentration towards humor I think it needs to move towards characters that bounce off each other to humor situations (like Soren and Aimee, see Item Shop), rather than characters that are in and of themselves a joke because they can be very repetitive and in the many cases that they simply do not bounce off of the character in front of them they come off as flat.
  3. I wouldn't name Nintendo as a whole consistently always good they've produced some pretty bad things (see Wii Music) I would just sayt their are individual teams that Nintendo has that very consistent namely, Zelda Team, Mario Team, Retro Studios, Monolith Soft, and Intelligent Systems (Sticker Star and Shadow Dragon aren't really bad games and their more outliers then commonalities). Really it's the same as Sony has some good studios in some bad studios and some studios that finally get a good direction and make good games now (I.E. Guerrilla with Horizon Zero Dawn). Naughty dog is really consistent quality though I'd argue some of the Jak games aren't up to snuff. But Quantic Dream has made exactly one good game and that game Heavy Rain is kind of weird. But they have a quite a few good teams another belt like Sucker Punch(Infamous, Sly), and Media Molecule (though Dreams has been in purgatory forever and it's not looking that good). Publishers really can't have a completely clean catalog and none do individual developers can but with years of history it's hard to be a 100% hit studio even then that's debatable with every developer.
  4. No one should be subjected to 900 of anything collectible... Don't be cruel...
  5. If it ever is useful that's gonna be one terrifying bow because as it stands she one shots like all of them with horsebuffs and especially equipped with raven tome. I suppose this allows me to run her as a colorless counter without other horses present but I don't know when I would ever do that lol...
  6. Well boys and girls learn from me, always, always check to see if a skill is inheritable before you upgraded a unit to 4 stars because today I thought it would be a genius idea to give Michalis Bowbreaker 3 turns out Fliers can't inherit Bowbreaker... I completely wasted 2000 feathers... I ended up giving it to Cecilia who doesn't need it... Who knows mabye someday they'll be a grandhero battle with a bow I cannot oneshot with Gronnblade or outspeed and I want to take out on player phase (because otherwise I'd just use QR2 which she also has), I hope so because that was 2000 feather down the drain.
  7. I pulled off all the quest and infernal difficulty cancel affinity cost me a loss because I wasn't expecting it luckily Cecilia still survives with a decent amount of health with Ward Calvary and Fury 3. Ended up having to give reposition to Cecilia to pull off the strategy (so I could reposition Leo after he killed the axe), not overly upset about that one considering how much I use her. Quest Team 1(Lunatic): Lloyd, Sharena, Hector, and Kagero. (Lloyd got the kill here) Infernal and Second Quest Team: Sharena (got the kill here), Reinhardt(Lancebreaker 3), Leo(Axebreaker 3), Cecilia (usually Blade Build but used a special build of Gronnraven+, Fury, QR 2).
  8. Got a bit more though they should likely be skills instead. Some of these may be OP though... Parity: all Buffs, Debuffs, and Terrian Bonuses, are ignored during combat Nihil: all abilities that are only active during combat (Death Blow, QR, Vantage, etc) are ignored, combat otherwise resumes as normal. Nullify: all triangle and effective bonuses are ignored during combat. (May make Reinhardt, Hector, and Bridellia op) Shade: Combat cannot be engaged against this unit if another enemy unit is also in range. Provoke: Combat can only be engaged against this if it is in range. Edit: Now that I think about it Nullify a terrible, terrible idea. I'll leave it up for posterity though.
  9. Life & Death 1 Fury 1 Death Blow 1 Darting Blow 1 QR 1 TA 1 Cancel Affinity 1 I could go on really I could go with any good skill becoming a seal. As far as special things Armor Move +1 (increases move but exclusively to armor units)
  10. I also recommend TMS, Xenoblade Chronicles X, DKC Tropical Freeze and Color Splash. Metroid Prime Triology is also a great Vitual Console game to invest in.
  11. Okay Dokkie 5* only though I will not be showing any of my 4 stars. 5* not shown are Marth, Corrin, and Tobin, because there were superseded by the other three swords I have, Marth (his build is pretty close to vanilla) gets some use (not much), but Corrin (-atk) and Tobin basically get ignored.
  12. Welp when I pulled Reinhardt it renewed my interest in doing the tempest again because I needed to SP grind Reinhardt and he can do it there I am now in 50K and plan to make sure I stay there. Now my Reinhardt how has 3/4 full hero merit and almost 2000 sp. Who knew that the simple act of not taking the same for 4 units would make the tempest severely less boring (as I varied my teams a bunch). This is still a bad mode that should be severely cut down because it only worked out because I just happened to pull Reinhardt right when this would be convenient and he's one of few units that can beneficially grind through here without hurting the score.
  13. Here is my updated list of five star heroes. It's been a little bit since my last update so I have five new heroes (well 3 after sacrifices and merges), new stuff is signal by the underline. Pulls Marth +Def -Hp Lyn +1 (Merged with IDK) +Atk -Res M Corrin +HP -Atk Kagero +1 (Merged with +Def -Res) +Atk -Def Effie +Def -Atk Jaffar Neutral Bunny Lucina Neutral Cordelia +Res -Atk (Sacrificed for Brave Lance+ Est) Leo +Def -HP Hector +Res -Def Elise +Res -Def Cordelia +HP -Spd (Sacrificed for Brave Lance+ and Galeforce Effie) Genny +Res -Def (Sacrificed for Wraithfull Staff 3 Elise) Reinhardt +Def -Spd 16 total pulled, 3 Sacrificed and 2 Merged Upgrades Nino +Res -Hp (Sacrificed for Gronnblade+ Cecilia) Sharena Neutral Anna Neutral Cecilia +Spd -Atk Xander Neutral Tharja +Hp -Res (Sacrificed for Raudrblade+ Leo) Camus Neutral Est +Atk -Hp Alfonse Neutral Michalis Neutral Odin +Atk -Res (Sacrificed for Blarblade+ Bunny Lucina) 11 total upgraded 3 Sacrificed Tempest Masked "Marth" Neutral Tobin Neutral 2 total earned 29 Total, 21 after merges and sacrifices.
  14. Took me a couple tries but horse emblem is reliable as always. Anyways I did it with my shiny new Reinhardt (has mostly placeholder skills L&D 4, Lancebreaker 2, Goad Cav), Axebreaker, Deathblow Leo, Cecilia (Fury Blade Build, Hone Cav), and Camus (Fury Vant Build, Hone Cav). Take me a little bit just cause I had to make sure the AI I did what I wanted it to eventually found out that if I place Leo in the top corner Defense tile and the three other horses in the corner by the bottom tile with Camus on the tile it was pretty straightforward because that green mage would go at the bottom to a place where Camus could safely kill the red horse mage. Surprisingly enough for infernal I actually had to change it up a little bit and give Leo you a one plus one attack seal (in retrospect I could've just reequipped his legendary tome which I can't be bothered to spell) because that's the exact amount more attack he needed lol because he had to be in the top corner therefor unbuffed. But Goad Calvary + Death Blow and Axe Breaker is just enough to kill him when added to the seal thank goodness mine is not minus attack.
  15. Okay sell me I honestly can't see the difference so if you could elaborate on what is changed so much since the PSP days i'm all ears I honestly like to broaden my horizon's and give different genres a chance. I'm not in financial trouble or anything lol, just you know I can't afford every video game, gaming is a expensive hobby so I might have to pass on a different game if I buy this. Keep in mind I also passed on Hyrule Warriors despite being a massive Zelda fan due to my previous experience with the PSP warriors game. Is there older Warriors game I could get on the cheap that could give me a better picture of what Warriors games are actually like these days? Plopping $60 down on a game I'm not even sure I'll like at all is quite the risk.
  16. Look I'm all for supporting FE all I can (I even bought TMS despite my misgivings) but I have played a Warriors game on the PSP in the past and did not like it at all I found it boring monotonous and repetitive. Despite all the developer saying they are trying to make this appeal to a FE fans this game looks no different than every Warriors game I have ever seen. So in short I see no reason to think that I would enjoy this anymore than the previous Warriors I played as nothing has seemed to change. Really if this was a slower year I might be convinced to give Warriors gameplay another shot. But I just can't justify to myself picking up this game when I have so many others I still need to buy. I'm really even complaining about the roster that much frankly. Because for them pull a roster that would be appealing enough to me for me to shove away all my misgivings about Warriors gameplay as well as the tons of other games I still need to purchase this year on my tight budget (because I bought a switch which set me back a bit), would frankly require more Elibe & Tellius favoritism then the developers should ever justifiably provide. Maybe when they provide a complete edition during a less busy year I'll give the game a chance but as it stands right now I simply can't afford to buy games I am eh on this year.
  17. Cool that means my fourth slot is completely open next week. Basically I now have a perfect template team of Lyn, Camus and Cecilia (Who both have Hone Calvary thanks to receiving two additional Gunters now all my horses have access to it) there's nothing they can't kill Lyn is mostly there is a weight (Galeforce and being +1) but she does kill a couple things that Cecilia can have trouble with. Basically this team can swap out the fourth slot for any bonus character as the fourth person is completely optional. So I'll likely run either Xander, Hector, Kagero(+1), or Jaffar (Xander or Kagero most likely). Elise or Bunny Lucina would be fun but would lower my score to much. Anyways on another note my high score this week is 4844 so be heading back to T 20 i'll be likely bouncing back-and-forth forever lol as it seems it impossible to stay in T 20 with my score range (4840-50 usually)
  18. Back in the day it would have been FE 9 & 10 and Megaman Soccer. But I have lost track of the radiant duology (sadly) and sold the other one. The only other rare games I own now are Last Story special edition, and Xenoblade for the Wii but none of these yet sell for ludicrous prices though I believe they will someday most likely.
  19. It seems to chain challenge thread has fallen down so I'll just post this here. After several billion tries I finally beat 11 & 12 mixed it's so hard the low turn count maps are so stupid I had to put Axe Breaker 3 on Leo just to make this possible (yep just for one random axe). It took all three teams to make it possible. The first team to take me through past the defense map because my horse team can't handle it and the last team to finish off the final map which is really hard to finish everyone off in with one team as your vastly out numbered. I also specially outfit Camus with his Granni Shield and Speed +1 seal instead of his normal fury build (because of all the anti-horse weapons) as well as shoving Axe Breaker 3 on Leo as previously mentioned. My Teams: (kits are standard unless stated otherwise)
  20. Not really I had a couple times where I was forced out of lobbies but nothing else really. Just try again and/or reset your router it is probably only on your end. But I'm team ice cream so maybe it is something to do a team cake I doubt it I've played against plenty of members of team cake (I had a couple matches of ice cream versus ice cream not if sure this is common this is my first Spatfest as well despite owning the original game lol).
  21. Basically every five star I have with the exception Corrin, Marth, Masked Marth, Tobin, Michalis and Jaffar (Jaffar and Michalis are getting close though) all units listed or five star unless stated otherwise. So in order Sharena, Anna, Est, Camus, Cecilia, Clarine (4* my second rehabilitate healer), Lyn, Hector, Ursula (4* Blade Tome), M Robin (4* Tempest Trails), Olivia (4* only dancer planning to upgrade at some point), Nowi(4* Tempest Trails), Bunny Lucina, Kagero, Xander, Leo, Elise, Effie.
  22. This pretty much. Always been more of a X fan then classic fan. Back in the day I used to love editors and stuff but I just don't have time for that anymore so I'll just overall pass on this.
  23. I got my switch in just little bit ago as well took me a while to hunt one down but sadly I was only able to get one in a bundles with Arms (which actually turned out to be pretty great to my surprise), but I wanted at least one single player game so I did not pickup MK 8 Deluxe and got Disgaea 5 instead. So if we had a Arms one I'd be cool with that, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only person here that owns that lol. I may pick up MK 8 Deluxe a couple months down the line but right now I'm concentrated on making sure I can afford Mario Odyssey on launch getting a Switch, a pro controller, and all that shenanigans set me back a bit.
  24. Yesterday I decide to do what I actually wanted and not torture myself with this horrible mode anymore and play something that is actually fun for a change. I'm going to stick to that I don't care about the for the feather rankings anymore i'm just going to do the three times required for the daily quests and stop then I can't take any more than that, I have other things I want to play and other things I need to do. Maybe I'll give up near the end and just grind a ton to catch up but for now i'm done. I think from now in every tempest trail I'm just gonna only aim for the seal and then coast from there on. So yeah i am 46k and now I'm going to cost from now on only doing enough to fulfil the daily quests.
  25. Current Sitting at 43K right now but I'm gonna keep going for the feathers not sure if you're referring to only the people that do it in like the first week but if your questions about people that actually make it all the way eventually and get all the reward if they anything like me they force themselves to do it because they want the feathers (or Orbs). I bitterly hated every moment past like 20 K in both tempest trails yet I desire those feathers a lot enough to torture myself. I wish this mode would die, I dread playing anymore of this crap their so many things I'd rather play yet I can't stop myself because I want the rewards. I'm afraid if they don't tone this thing down I'm gonna completely burn out this game. This mode is the complete opposite of the reason I play this game in the freaking first place I play it as a little distraction game to play in between actual games not a game that takes all my fetching free time. This mode is becoming way too demanding of my time and I'm gonna have to stop playing the game if it gets any more I hope the developers start to realize that. Note: Yes I am self-aware enough to know this is partially my fault, but knowing that doesn't alleviate any of the torture that the tempest trail is every single time it comes up. I want the feathers and if it keeps going on like this I'm just gonna stop playing this game because I'm going to destroy it for myself because of my compulsive need to get them. All I'm asking is them to be more respectful of my time and not have this event be by its nature insanely time-consuming and let me have option to not spend the my bulk of the limited free time I have on a game that's not supposed to take much of it just to stay competitive.
