  1. The shotas I would want the most are Ewan and Nils, I think, if only because we haven't heard their voices yet. 

    Mostly Nils, actually, since he'd be the first male dancer, the first male dragon, hopefully an additional green dragon, and the holder if an additional dragon buff to make dragon emblem more viable.

    Shota archers and mages are too much of an archtype already.

    Either way, though, a balance of cute girls AND cute boys would be optimal, yes.

  2. As excited as I am for Sen III, I'm skeptical about how Falcom will manage to keep every character relevant. There are just so many of them. Like, at least Sen II had the excuse of "muh final dungeon." But in Sen III, they're more likely to be relevant throughout the main story.

    What I HOPE will happen is it'll work a la FC/Zero, where you're either forced to use to use a set party for certain parts of the game (FC) or have a set party with guest characters for certain parts of the game (Zero). 

    Having as much party freedom as you do in, say, the 3rd or Sen II is nice in theory, but I don't want that to come at the price of the story and character development.

    i'm not sure
    when i first came to the internet, i already had a lot of confidence in my reading ability, and i'm not sure if my writing improved meaningfully since then, as far as nuances go
    there's of course quite a bit of vocabulary -- especially memes and slang -- that i picked up in the past... eighteen... years...
    ...
    eighteen years...

    Not OldMan for nothing.

    It's something I was thinking about since I've only really inhabited the English side of the net, and as far as I'm aware, it's the largest side of the net, too, which is why I've never felt the urge to branch out. But I figured for the non-native English speakers, constant exposure to the language, even if only via casual/net lingo, would help them learn, since exposure is the best way to learn a language. I mean, I can say that watching anime/playing Japanese games as much as I have has definitely facilitated my Japanese learning.

    Like I've occasionally posted on Korean and Japanese side of the net, but not enough to say that they helped me in any meaningful way. Not to mention kanji is a bitch so reading can be a bit slow at times. .-.

    And I don't even know if discussions boards like reddit or forums like Serenes Forest exist on the Japanese side of the net. I mean there's 2chan, but I don't know if there's anything interesting there. I only ever occasionally lurk on 4chan. And even then, it's usually just the FE general thread.

  4. Question, question.

    For you non-native English speakers, do you think spending extensive time on the internet and posting on various discussion boards helped a lot with your English, or do you think you came in already knowing enough to properly communicate? In the case of the former, how much do you think it helped, and in the case of the latter, do you think your English levels have stagnated or do you think it's improving, even if only by a little?

     

  5. The PC and Evo versions of the Crossbell games are the best way to play them, I think. PSP graphics aren't bad, per se, especially since Kiseki games aren't exactly possess great graphical finesse, but they definitely could be better - which the PC and Evo versions are.

    Too bad Ao's PC version hasn't been released in Japanese yet. If it will be at all...

    so i just discovered falcom's old pc releases are available on dlsite... and on sale, to boot
    to get zero pc or not...

    It's definitely worth it.

    Also that 15 second CM had... a lot of stuff. Good thing I started up Ao again. I have two months to finish it now.

    And this arrangement is too good, hnnng:

    I... hope that's not the case about the slayers?? I would have also preferred a buff to Killers instead of adding something downright better but with worse availability.... ouch... Not sure if they'll be as good as Brave Bow or Wo Dao either way, though...

    and yeah, the Dark versions of the leg tomes look to be unique, sounds about right. 

    M-maybe they'll slowly phase out the weak Killer WeaWpons? Please do something, IS, instead of making it look like blatant power creep.

    Weird how they put the Wo Dao effect on a legendary tome, but I suppose I can't complain - it is a good effect. And the fact that Dark Aura only gives buffs to melees is a nice nod to the -blade tomes (or I supposed ranged units in general) being able to abuse the buff more.

    Any weapon triangle affinity granted by unit’s skills is negated.

    -TA is negated

    If affinity disadvantage exists, weapon triangle affinity granted by foe’s skills is reversed.

    - If opponent wta and TA on you, reverse the TA into Neutral

    I believe the gem weapons advantage would be negated, as well, since weapons are also technically skills.

  8. So... we just get a straight up better Killer Bow and Killing Edge?

    I know the Killer weapons were a bit underwhelming, but wouldn't it have been easier to just give them a few extra might instead of making an entirely new weapon?

    Also, Dark Aura and Dark Excalibur are probably going to be unique, right? Seeing as they don't have a + on their names. Which kinda sucks because they both seem like good weapons.
