She's just wonderful. All according to plan. 34 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: The one that kinda irked me was Hana and Silas C. Silas just randomly decided he wanted to tell Hana that she sucks for no good reason. What? Why? This is the kind of crap I'd expect from that shitstain Leo, not you... It’s funny that you rag on Silas for this of all things, after getting his Elise supports. You did read them, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote It’s funny that you rag on Silas for this of all things, after getting his Elise supports. You did read them, right? I did read them. I saw no reason to rag on Silas for them. Quite the opposite - in a "meta" sense, it's Elise's fault. You see, Elise's character very blatantly exists (partially, I would prefer to think) to serve a purpose: To fulfill the "little sister" fantasies of certain parts of the target demographic. She's fanservice, just a slightly different kind than the likes of Camilla. Thus, I wouldn't hold that support against Silas because in it, Silas is not Silas - he's just a vehicle to expedite the "pretend onii-chan" scenario for the target demographic's enjoyment. Silas was picked because his personality is closer to suiting the scenario than someone like, say, Laslow. That's all there is to it, I think. There's more reason to chastise the writers of the game than Silas's character for that. Here, on the other hand, Silas is just being a dickhead because he feels like it. There's no reason for it, and he's characterized as a kind and polite person, so it's kind of a weird move for him to just randomly come out of nowhere and go "you suck Hana, your terrible fighting reflects poorly on your liege and makes me think she sucks too." It feels like they didn't have any ideas for this convo, so they just went with the first thing they came up. Which, apparently, was a diet version of Felicia and Leo C. ...Or, maybe I'm just a cynical asshole who reads too much into shit. I suppose that's also a possibility. But yeah, in summary, that's my reason for not feeling anything about the Elise support: The intent of it was so obvious to me that I just went "oh, classic Fates!" and took it in stride. When something like that happens in the same game as the "camera flies into Camilla's dirigibles" cutscene, there's hardly any reason to be surprised or to take it all too seriously.

Acacia Sgt Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 And it's back to robot cats for Future Garulea. Though looking not unlike the Dogu Cats. At least I see the resemblance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Rubenio Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I regret to inform that Mozu has suffered a tragic accident. Eh, Setsuna has gotten levels. I can still consider this a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rubenio Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Ahahahahahah! The reason Zola's plan failed in this route is that... he was too close to the real thing! Perfect! Also, he really gained five troops he didn't have before completely out of the blue and didn't question it. What an idiot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rubenio Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 God fucking damnit. I had a plan to exactly intercept the outlaw with the speedwing... and then my goldfish brain proceeded to completely forget in 10 seconds and use Azura for something else. So now I have to pray that the outlaw doesn't escape through the stairs, because if he does, I lose 20 minutes of my life. Great. Oh thank God, no, they have to exit the building. Phew... Gotta say, this game is being a lot more lenient with its thief routes than some other games in the series. 5 minutes ago, Sooks said: Don’t you want Kellam to exist?

Look, no offense to the man, he was a great support bot for Sully until he died in the final chapter alongside everyone else, but... Yeah, I don't think I mind. Kana can sit on the bench.
