Because quite frankly, IS didn't realize how amazing a concept that is, and it took freaking Sakurai putting Corrin into Smash 4 to actually flesh out the "turning into a dragon" mechanic. Obvious sarcasm is obvious, but this is why I like to headcanon Corrin having her Smash abilities during the story.

Okay, that last line of the right panel is something straight out of Rick and Morty's mindset. "Boys can be adorable. Girls can be scary. I don't even know what's right and wrong anymore." "Here, have a beer. ALCOHOL MAKES EVERYTHING OKAY!"

I'm going to be frank, I haven't actually been able to get the game yet. I'm still abroad, and I want a physical copy. Having said that, I've watched parts of Let's Plays, and I've heard some of the voice acting. In my opinion, Awakening had marginally better VA all around. There weren't any performances that I would call explicitly "bad" in Awakening, while there are a couple that I really don't like in Fates (M!Kana almost makes me not want to use F!Corrin, it stoinks so bad). However, I've made it through Persona 3 and Fuuka/Ikutsuki, so I can handle it.

Right, I just thought that the first one was what was confusing people. I guess not, though. I mean, who am I to contradict one of the Norse pantheon?

If it hasn't been made clear already, the first "G" is hard. In one of the games I've kickstarted, Jotun, which is centered around Norse mythology, the narration is actually in some form of Old Norse, and it's pronounced "gi-NOON-gah-gap" in-game. As such, I'll vouch for that pronunciation.

You know what the CG art really drove home for me? Some of the children look much older than others. For example, Forrest looks like he's 10, while Shigure and Dwyer look like they're at least in their late teens. It's a little disconcerting, if you ask me. The art looks fantastic, though, and the 3DS themes makes me excited that we may finally be getting the official artwork for the characters! I really hope it's true.

He legit looks bored. It's a great picture, and it totally captures his personality, but seriously, he looks like he's about to fall asleep.

Hey. Stop hating on Awakening so much, guys. I liked it. Sure its story is generic as balls, especially for an FE game, but I could let it go because of the characters. But back on topic, even though giving the game one star reviews is a little overkill, I do feel like the game suffered because of the split into 3 games. Going back into Awakening for a bit, yeah its story wasn't anything new (and not the best, tbh), at least it was relatively simple for an RPG. Path of Radiance had a great story, and once again, it was relatively simple. Fates, by contrast, felt very bloated with the three separate storylines, not to mention that it was definitely hampered by the inclusion of children for inexplicable reasons. I hope that even though Fates is selling extremely well, IS takes the time to look at user feedback and take it into account when making their next game. Trim down the fat of the storyline, don't include features for no reason just because the previous game was the best-selling one in the series to that point...and keep the gameplay good. The gameplay in Fates is really good. Best in the series.

Because...butt stuff? I dunno, I'm not in Kozaki's head, I can't speak for the guy. It is an awkward pose, but I'm just happy that Kozaki's drawing stuff. It doesn't look bad, just a little...out of character, I guess.

I don't care what you think of her VA, Selkie is adorable, voice included.

Both have their good parts and their bad parts. I prefer the Japanese version of Azura's song (although the English version is still fantastic), but the English spoken VA.

So, basically like the Awakening book, where we don't focus on individual characters, so much as make little vignettes. I'm sold.

You know what I love the most about the localized version of this support? (Granted, it's still not the best support, but it's SOOO much better.) You know, other than Xandra? It was how the S-Rank felt like it belonged with the rest of the conversation. It was organic, it flowed pretty well with the characters and their respective mindsets, and A CHARACTER IN A SUPPORT ASKS TO TAKE IT SLOW! It fits so well with the progression, and honestly, I'm happy with that nice little touch. I'm glad they didn't just change the B-Rank convo, but rather sought to make a more well-written, cohesive conversation. In other words, it's true localization.

I'm kinda surprised no one's talked about Kaden/Azura yet. That support is absolutely adorable, and they have fantastic chemistry together. There's also the fact that Kaden is actually supporting Azura throughout the conversation, while also acknowledging the traits that make her unique. To the best of my knowledge, there's no other support that Azura has where anyone acknowledges that she may actually need help dealing with the craziness in her life, and the fact that Kaden catches on to this, and even goes as far as to encourage her to be a little selfish for once, is really sweet.

To paraphrase the words of the hypest man on YouTube playing the hypest playable anime in existence: I don't fight for Hoshido. And I don't fight for Nohr! I FIGHT FOR MY GOD DAMN FRIENDS!!!
