  1. That was a pretty cool video. I appreciated the comparisons between versions, and some of the measured comparisons/assessments of other Let's Plays/resources.
  2. If I had a nickle for the number of times I had to hear some nonsense about sol exactly like this, I'd have enough for a nice dinner and a show. To be fair, the newbies need to see the order of things around here. We can't all be experts in the Serenes Forest lore.
  3. Dang, you mean Gabriel Knight, the adventure game? I kinda wish they'd just make adventure games again. Or FMV games. I personally wasn't that interested in Gunvolt, so while I think Mega Man 10 was alright and the Zero games have a reputation of their own, I'm not really sure that's what I'd like to see. That's also a track record of basically just making more Mega Man games, and while I like Mega Man games I would prefer something that shakes it up a little more for each release. I think Mega Man 11's attempt to do so was a little flat and would like to see some better-integrated improvements.
  4. I hope the Dale character has a cool orange hat and sunglasses.
  5. I am actually working on something, but it's more inspired by the September prompt than this one.
  6. If you'd asked this six or seven years ago, I wouldn't said "take Mega Man from Capcom and give it to someone who will actually make a new game." However, Mega Man 11 has come out since then and I was kind of underwhelmed, so screw it. Give Mega Man to Nintendo so we can get a good new game.
  7. I personally do see how this satisfies the actual market sense of competition, since someone buying those games is probably already buying the games they're based on (to the extent they are currently being sold) and competition implies some degree of choosing one thing over another. I don't know, man. But they didn't make Zelda into a franchise by copying Adventure. They made a game to replicate the feeling exploring games- and they copying themselves and making worse games for it.
  8. Why don't you hold these nuts in your mouth? That was inappropriate, I apologize.
  9. Dithorba is also in Heroes with (if I remember right) basically the same design, so she'll probably keep that. I honestly have no idea though, I'm not sure there's been a chance for a character to be introduced to the west by Heroes first and then a remake of their game, so they may decide they don't want to hold themselves to those designs. The Heroes designs have been pretty loyal to the FE4 ones from what I can tell though, so we might not see any race-swapped characters and Isaach probably won't be given any Arab flair. Echoes gives us a weird precedent here where some palette swaps stayed palette swaps (namely Barth and Garth), so it's not out of the question that the same happens for some of these characters. I'm assuming the triplet bosses with have generally similar designs, though it'd be cool if the portraits at least had them in different poses.
  10. This thread seemed really interesting but now it's really long, so I'm just going to my make suggestion without commenting on other people's (undoubtedly neat) ideas. Divorce mechanics. Probably not a fit for the deterministic approach that Fire Emblem lets players take over character relationships, but if you can get 1% crit on the battlefield I think it would be fun to have maximum disaster in the out-of-battle stuff as well.
  11. I ain't reading all that but I agree with the title alone.
  12. AnonymousSpee d Please help m e.
  13. Fascinating find. Had I the will to do so, I'd try and reproduce this just to confirm if that's the case. Maybe hack an enemy with Forseti and see if that works.
  14. Ravager OP baybee let's go. Also, every laguz in FE10 is capable of throwing hands. That said, if gauntlets were a colored weapon, there'd really be no mechanical reason (only flavor and a different icon) to have them be different than existing ones. If I recall correctly though, you've mentioned them being colorless.
  15. People have been doing that in the form of YouTube Poops for twenty years. Yet this is why I have the mixed feelings mentioned in the opening post. While a sympathetic mindset, it's ultimately a damaging one. You'd prefer they made a sequel when they had a good idea for one (an idea which built on the original) rather than just so there would be another. Art for art's sake is an empty phrase, yadda yadda yadda. You know what, I forgot about that one, as have most people apparently.
  16. I'm not sure we should (or should not) separate those two things. Like, I wouldn't get mad at a fictional character even if I found their source material abhorrent. Which sounds like I'm contradicting myself, but I guess what I mean is that poor/good writing produce Ryoma, he isn't separate from those things.
  17. "Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles..." I mean- Alright, but here's my take. I'm not the editor for the original author. I'm not here to assess his attentions or how effectively he conveys them or make a cost-benefit analysis between his artistic integrity and the demands of his publisher. Those things are neat trivia, but they are ultimately external to Fates. In fact, unlike a historical document like the Gospel of Luke, they are not even in the same universe as the events depicted. All because there was some "good reason" someone had to put it in the story doesn't mean the story isn't worse for having it.
  18. Silence, boner man. This child is incredibly based. Stink, Duke Mayo is under attack by the evil forces of Dodongos. I'm going to the kitchen to aid him.
