Saint Rubenio Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Look at little Zola on his way to redemption! Really wish he'd just join the team proper, that'd be great, but... oh well. Also, Setsuna has the same strength and speed as Reina. Well, actually, scratch that, she surpassed her in both stats after gaining another level. She's level 15 unpromoted, by the way. What an absolute unit. I'm so glad I stuck with her. Azama doesn't understand how lucky he and his daughter are. Also also, Rinkah and Kaze married. I was already looking forward to getting Candace, but surprise surprise, the shenanigans affect Kaze's paralogue too. Because fuck me, that's why. Urgh... 36 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: Well... you are choosing not to use the actually good characters, 'sides Hinoka that is. Speaking of her... Uhhh, so she's gotten four levels and she's still at base strength and speed. She can tank decently well with the guard naginata, but she deals shit damage to everything. She... might hit the bench too, because she's just not that great, I'm afraid. Shame, I like her design, but it's just not to be it seems, and Scarlet appears to be right around the corner.

Saint Rubenio Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Damnit. They ruined Zola's character arc. I can't believe it. I'm more disappointed about that than anything else in Fates's story.

Saint Rubenio Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Incredible. The AI just did what I thought I'd never see it do. It moved back a unit that was blocking a spot so that Xander could move in and attack Rinkah. ...Thankfully, defense stance once again proved Shrimpy wrong by saving Rinkah's life, but... holy shit, this sort of advanced play is not what I'm accustomed to from a FE AI. Clearly I need to start listening to the game and get the hell outta dodge already. I mean, Fishtail was taken to the exit by Reina, I just thought I'd be stubborn and stick around for a while. ...Okay, maybe let Setsuna kill a great knight before we go. 7 minutes ago, WraithReborn said: ...Wha?

Saint Rubenio Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Why is nobody stabbing Camilla? She's right there. Run her through and be done with it. Why did we let her get the jump on us? Why is everyone an idiot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was. There was one museum I wasn't allowed to hit up because nice weather outside, high admission, and the museum being ginormous. Still, there is always next time. If you ever opt to visit Boston, I could offer a little advice. 8 hours ago, Armagon said: Playing through Blaster Master Zero 3, now that I have a few Metroid games under my belt, has definitely solidified for me that when it comes to Metroidvanias, I prefer the "Metroid" part over the "Castlevania" part. For those who don't know the difference, the "Metroid" part of the genre is the genre at it's purest: exploration and action. The "Castlevania" part throws in RPG mechanics into the mix, whether it's levels or crafting, etc. And they definitely change how the game is played. I understand the leaning towards Metroid within the genre, and for me I think I like it more because my gaming menu is already heavy with RPG experiences. I've read a lot of praise (never universal ofc) for Hollow Knight, which reads like a Metroid-leaning Metroidvania. Although I've also heard some criticism the bosses are too hard and checkpoints a little too spaced out, which turns me off for fear of being unable to complete it. There is also a sequel in the works called Silksong, but the devs have said nothing about it for quite a while, resulting in fears that it's in development hell.

Saint Rubenio Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Reina landed a 21% on Camilla. That's right, show her who the real queen of the skies is. Rather easy chapter. There was a bit of a scare when Camilla activated a dragon vein and wrecked Oboro, but thankfully, the general in range didn't move, for... some undiscernible reason. And there we have 'em, Scarlet and Benchwarmer. Well... actually, I might want to keep Benchwarmer around to marry someone. His son's paralogue has a capturable boss, you see. He ain't gonna see a blade, though, you can rest assured of that. Edited July 30, 2021 by Saint Rubenio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Fates AI is actually somewhat intelligent as opposed to, say, Tellius AI thinking having 0 hit on a target that ORKOs them is a perfectly viable one, or FE12 AI being hellbent on dealing damage above all else. Though at least the latter is somewhat menacing at times. Totally unrelated, but I last night, I made a horrible, horrible decision. HSoS again, but this time it's an ironman run. On Orthodox.

I'm up to Ch4 now, only death was one of the pirate bros getting hit by a double Multichance proc from Zade and dying. I really, really want to keep Bald Wario alive when Ch5 rolls around so he can fund my army. Spoiler Also, remember that part in Chapter 2 where Adonsphair shows up and acts spooky? Well, the armor knight there spawned and immediately fucking ORKOd it. Can't say I expected that. 3 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Fates once again proving that it's the best FE, story and characters be damned.

I'm going to give Rinkah a seraph robe, because outside of her low HP she's my best tank. Somehow. Is that also weird, or is her defense growth super high or something? iirc defense is her only good stat. …she has a 45% personal speed growth. Huh. Quote Azama and Hinoka, of course! If you say it's bad, I need to see it for myself so I can laugh at it. iirc the funniest one is the S-support, so yeah. I mean, they’re all bad, don’t worry, but just a heads up. 3 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: She's unironically good in my run, because I can't have a normal team, it seems.
