From what I remember about Extraverse Shinji he isn't in the same situation as Fate Stay The Night at Emiya's house's Shinji.

Interdimensional Observer Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 5 hours ago, Shrimperor said: Really...? XD I find myself needing heals quite a bit against Bosses. I couldn't even defeat bronze face without leading with Sharla and playing a support role for that fight haha. Maybe when i get Riki, whoever that is, i shall see xD If you're in for a protracted fight, then Sharla is good for her healing. But given the near-instant automatic HP regeneration after every battle, wandering and fighting ordinary enemies doesn't require her if you kill everything fast enough. And with Sharla, she's almost a self-fulfilling prophecy, in that she has limited offense, which means you can't be as fast with the kills, which means you get into longer fights where the heals become more valuable. Everyone in the game is perfectly usable, Sharla included, so play as you will. 1 hour ago, Armagon said: I think the worst part of the game though is the villains. The party members were so good but the villains were so lacking in comparison. None of the villains were neither compelling or entertaining and it made the personal conflicts between them and the party members fall flat. Even Velvet's final confrontation with Artorius didn't have the impact i thought it should. It may also have to do with the fact that the villains barely appear in the plot though it's not neccisarily the cause. Villains in the Tales, judging from what I've played, aren't usually the best. Going on a rough spectrum from worst to better: ToP- Never finished but Dhaos is simple b/c very old game. ToG- Never finished but the plot in this game is safe and super-duper dull, and the villains are unfortunately the same. ToV- Not one consistent villain. The 1st arc ends with a grunt. The 2nd villain is blander than blandest blandness yet the game tries to make you feel actual anger towards them for a reason other than boringness. And the 3rd is a nice person- but they and the third arc overall doesn't belong, it's not the story that should've been told. ToSDotNW- Ehh... I'm not sure what to make of them. ToAb- Its central villain is dry despite an in-principle tragic backstory, though his underlings are of varying quality, one of whom I actually like. ToS- The main villain winds up being a ginormous pity magnet, who never could've gotten their dreams fulfilled despite a massive amount of planning, time, and effort going into making them happen. ToS was my first Tales, and I guess I like them. The minions are a generic bag however. ToX- I like the setup of the final villains, but I don't like one of them, even if the other is very likable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) You people really know how to make me feel like I'm back in 2012-2014 or so... 8 hours ago, DragonFlames said: So... what to do against enemies who constantly spawn copies of themselves or a group that severely outnumbers you, when you have nothing in the way of AOE, a limited pool of MP to heal, and only two characters who die surprisingly quickly? Because I'm stumped. At that point of the game? Run away, really. Until you get spells like Dazzle or Snooze for crowd control... yeah. 2 hours ago, Wraith said: I know this maybe out of the blue, but what the hell is going on with the FE YouTube community?

That's a weird way to spell Dolce and Margaret. 8 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: ToP- Never finished but Dhaos is simple b/c very old game. Even with how old Phantasia is, I wouldn't call Dhaos simple. Of course, he would get more fleshed out through spin-offs like Narikiri Dungeon and supplemental material. Even then with just old SNES!Phantasia, he's not. Spoiler Since he's a man desperately wanting to save his own wold, which killed its own Mana Tree due to constant war which led to someone inventing the Mana Cannon. But when he finds a world with another Mana Tree he could procure a seed from, he sees the inhabitants starting to misuse mana as well, and after attempts to reason with them failed, he's felt he had no choice but to force them to stop. Which leads to a war with the locals... which leads to them inventing their own Mana Cannon. It's a mess of a situation, but that shows it's far from simple.

Four and half days ago? Seriously I will follow this chat and post when it could become essential. But for the most time I will do nothing here aside of lurking. Tomorrow I will have a longer break, but I will take the time to go out for trips on every single day (if the weather lets me). This has been summer goddamn awful so far. It has nothing to do with summer in the slightest. It was so cold and wet that I even had to drink tea today. Feeling really week today. Was close to the moment to vomit, but a pill prevented it thankfully. It shall become better the next days at least, so I can see the one or other place. Bruxelles and Gent were on my to do list since I never have been there before. Hopefully it will turn out decently.
