Sunwoo Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 It's funny seeing Fjorm as the only one in this forging bonds (at least from what I've seen so far). They're making up for not giving her any characterization in book 2, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentinel07 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Another excellent FB story so far. This one seems a lot more personal, which makes sense given the troubled nature of the characters in question. Also nice that Fjorm is the OC that pretty much takes center stage.

Zapp Branniglenn Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Remember that Forging Bonds where Kiran creeped into the dreams of the Nifl royal family to feast on their inner thoughts? Heeeeee's baaaaaaaaack. jk, Kiran has no explicit or implicit role in this story. See how much difference it makes when you don't shoehorn the avatar into a story about other characters?

Cute Chao Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 So far, Tiki's story has been a bit meh to me. Berkut has been amazingly crazy and I love it. Not had any of Corrin's or Mareeta's yet, but from the starting one, I'm expecting Mareeta's to be good. Still wish Corrin didn't look so... eh. I wish she looked properly beserked like Mareeta and Berkut -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punished Dayni Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 It's pretty good so far actually and all my beasts get their turn in the spotlight. It's fun watching them tear it up too. FB Spoilers inside: Spoiler Marreta in this FB: MURDER DEATH KILL CRUSH DESTROY RAAAAAAAAAAAAA- Oh, what have I done? I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself, I found it pretty funny honestly. I've also gotten to her S-Rank already in my attempts to get the tokens. Corrin also getting to be the mediator across these really gives the sense that she's the most in control of herself. Kiran is likely involved by the end sadly, been mentioned a few times (Mareeta's A where he's specifically mentioned as someone she doesn't want to kill (I mean, I wouldn't want to be killed either but getting mentioned feels weird), he's being brought up in the All-B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercakete Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Fallen Berkut: Not all heroes are blessed. Me: True. I only give blessings to units I plan on using in elemental teams. No sense in wasting those resources. But seriously, does this mean we'll get a Fallen Fjorm sometime? That'd be neat! Maybe she'll be all icy and spiky or something. Rite of Frost and all that.

Etrurian emperor Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Perhaps they should have replaced the music. The usual cheery forging bonds song sounds so odd when its accompanied by Berkut screaming for his girlfriend or Corrin crying over not being able to protect people. But other than that its quite good. I don't think anyone expected Askr to have a forest of the damned and Fjorm could use the attention.

Landmaster Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Nice converstions so far, form what I've seen. Corrin has yet to speak to me, though. Thus, I have all the Accessories besides hers~ The flower is a bit lower on the character's head than I would have thought it'd be~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roflolxp54 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 There may be a recurring theme of character seeing the summoner as the ultimate hope for bringing their loved ones to Askr only to shot down by Anna telling them that the summoner has no control over whom they summon and even if said unit is summoned, there's no guarantee that that unit is the same one the character knew. First Sue and now Berkut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottservia Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Not gonna lie this has got to be my favorite Forging bonds event so far. You really do feel bad for each character and see how the power they've all have is so much of a detriment to them rather than a blessing. I especially love Berkut's role in all of this cause unlike everyone else who either can't control their power, are unaware of it, or didn't ask for it. He is exact opposite. He relishes in his power drunken madness and knows full well how to use the power he's been given. This makes him an excellent foil to all the other heroes which creates some interesting and unique character interaction that is honestly some of the best writing this game has seen.

NoirCore Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) Spoiler Not gonna lie, I liked how in Tiki's route her adult self stepped in. The two finally get to interact! Now when will adult Tiki and Marth finally talk? Also, this sorta reminds me how I want more crossover interactions like this. Maybe have mixed game banners from time to time for FB.

Nowi's Husband Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I'm loving the fact they they are interacting with each other even more than just with the OCs. It's all pretty sad, especially Tiki since she's so smol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landmaster Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Finished the FB~ Really enjoyed this one~ A!Tiki coming to talk to F!Tiki was a really nice moment~ I also liked just how much they appeared in each other conversations, like F!Corrin and Berkut~ Really nice and the Accessories are all amazing~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I gotta admit, the writing in this one isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Though Fjorm appears to be all by herself in this weirdo forest for seemingly no real reason, so that's kind of wtf to me. But otherwise, this all actually works decently.

This is the same game where the characters are in Hel's domain one second and then having a picnic outside of there the next, not to mention the last couple FB (again, the characters were in the realm of the dead at the time) were in Askr, too. Fjorm suddenly being in a scary forest is far from the first inconsistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 They keep learning good lessons in forging bonds. First they discover that team Askr talking to the heroes beat Avatar worship and now they're experimenting with having the Forging Bonds heroes interact with each other too. They even let non forging bonds heroes appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, not like we know what Fjorm does in her spare time. Maybe she wanted to explore a little. She's in a land where there's not just ice, snow, and more ice. Just as Fjorm was eager to befriend animals, she might have a desire to learn about a place that's new to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezzy Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 This forging bonds is a pretty big drop in quality, doing this for the Edgelord banner was a mistake. They should have nixed the Picnic banner, made this a Tempest banner, and had a real banner here. Maybe having a character struggling with their inner demons could be good in small doses, but this is edgier than a dodecahedron, and it just makes me roll my eyes rather than sympathize. Also, I wish we got more varied accessories than just 50 different hairpins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
