Sorry, but I'd like to be able to do a post about the cultural inspirations of Fire Emblem sooner than later. And at the very least I think it'd be interesting to play FE4 and 5 to see what carried over from those games into Kaga. See that's the thing, I want to play these games back to back because I want to make fun of it. My crusade against sexism didn't find much resistance in Three Houses, however Hilda did tip me off a bit, not because she was a poor female character but because she radiated big cis woman energy. It's harmless though. I think that's the point, how assumptious she is about gender roles and how silly it is. I thought it was going to be Manuela but I suppose the sassy pigtailed character trope tradition had to be continued. I can't wait to see how this side game explains the lore behind the Fire Emblem Awakening bride DLC No seriously, my first real impressions of Eirika came from that DLC. I am all too eager to get rid of it. At least FE7 was trying to tell an even remotely original story Nice, I made a whoopsie quoting. Anyway, yes, it tried. It most certainly tried. Honestly I can't seriously argue there, while I heavily dislike 7's story, at least it isn't "wooden plank with a headband talks to the most unlikeable old fart ever for 20 hours" 6 minutes ago, Edelguardiansing said: Heh.

It was followed by a manga that would be published too at V-Jump until 1998. There's also the anime cutscenes that were added to the game since the PSX port, if it matters. I did find a worse quality video to watch for it. But yeah, I was more surprised because despite it's Toriyama stylings I didn't know it had an anime anything outside the cutscenes. 5 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: If he is a villain, well I think this might be the first case for me of my hormones committing treason against my brain and justice. 2 hours ago, Punished06 said: God, why is Syrene so hot?

Lightcosmo Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 7 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: ...after a montage of presumably important NPCs, he shows up again. The look in his eyes screams villain, the same as ingame. His first impression is awfully antagonistic as well. Although he has a "I'm a free spirit, I don't care what you do, just don't get in my way, because if you do, you're f***ing dead" personality judging from that debut. Which doesn't mean he has to be truly evil, he might stand a slim chance of a being a later game final recruit when he finally respects what the heroes are capable of. I'm perplexed. I probably wouldn't be so were it not for one thing- he's shirtless. Honestly, I didn't think he looked like he's my type, and his merciless rogue could've-killed-the-hero behavior is unattractive. Despite the turnoffs, the bod kept my attention, thinking how happily odd it would be to have a Tales male playable who by default looked like this Since it really doesn't spoil the story in pretty much any way: yeah, he's playable in Zesteria. Obv i won't go into details for you, just don't want you to feel disappointed at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obv i won't go into details for you, just don't want you to feel disappointed at all. 😄 If he pares back his personality somewhat, then it'd be perfect. The how then becomes the question for this guy, that'll be keeping me entertained. Looks like he'd put the roster at 8 characters. Which is on the bigger side for a Tales team. Setting aside Xillia 2's three additions, Vesperia (barring the original Xbox 360 release, so maybe it doesn't deserve to count) and Symphonia are the last games to reach 8. In both cases, you could argue you the casts were maybe a little too big and had some irrelevancy problems. For Vesperia, Repede is a good dog, but without a nanogram of relevance or anything except doggy charm. Patty -though a later addition- is also pretty irrelevant to the overall story. For Symphonia, I feel like you could delete Regal and Presea and the overall story wouldn't need any significant changes, maybe Zelos could go too -were it not for his societal position. I'll be keeping my eye on the Zesty crew for relevancy issues. Though I'll concede that even in a smaller cast, like the more usual Tales 6, not everyone is super-relevant. For Xillia 1, Leia is pretty filler, Elise and Rowan both lost relevance after the first "arc" of the story is over (or the second arc? Do I break Xillia into thirds (in which case the first third is much longer than the latter two) or quarters?). 9 hours ago, Armagon said: He's playable in Berseria iirc. So there you go. Now you'd made me curious. Time will have to tell. -Though I wouldn't jump from Zesteria to Berseria right away, Tales are too long for that without suffering burnout. 9 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: I'd say yes, since I feel we'd end up with the same amount of time to determine a year, thus same day no matter the calendar. Yeah, I see my problem. That transposing lunar/lunisolar dates on a solar calendar are what make it look wobbly, the calendars themselves aren't (maybe special intercalary days that aren't in every year in a lunisolar adds a pinch of wobble though?). 4 hours ago, Punished Dayni said: Urge to find stick...... rising. Don't get the impression that I'd jump on top of any shirtless dude in a video game!😳 I have seen shirtless Sephiroth before, he does nothing for me, nada, zero, zilch. I might have a little appreciation for One Winged Angel the music, but you could toss the man in a trash compactor and I wouldn't shed a tear. The most famed villain of Final Fantasy, and while I can make positive and negative remarks towards the writing of Sephiroth from a detached intellectual's perspective, there is not a dram of personal affection nor enmity towards him in me. Heck, I'm downright antipathetic towards his inclusion in Smash, although not so much because of Sephiroth himself, so much as what he is- a second FFVII character when the rest of the illustrious-infamous franchise lacks for Smash representation. I would've had the same antipathy had it been Tifa or Aerith or Cait Sith or Cloud In A Dress, which says something about how little Sephiroth affects me. 19 minutes ago, Αυτοκράτορας των Γαρίδων said: I hate pokemon ice puzzles I'm not if I love ice-sliding puzzles, but I sure don't hate them either.

BrightBow Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Sadly the Freedom Planet 2 console ports are still a year off. So it's unlikely there will be anything relevant in the Direct.

Shrimpica Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 "Champ" Time! A cute Demon King, or smth. xD Well, as usual, my Party! Spoiler My starter, a high speed special spread attacker. Why i picked her? Simple WITCH! Do i need any other reason xD Carried me through the whole game, and also 10-15 levels higher than the rest due to ho much i used her... Despite that, important battles aren't that easily sweepable by her. Also, has a pretty cool ability: Positive. Whenever a stat is reduced, SATK increases by 2 levels. When that happens than it's a sweep... Mostly! Spoiler Despite being a Tank, she's more an offensive attacker with some Terrain setting/clearing roles. Learns the equivalent of shell smash, if you can set it up...sweep baby! Major Earth weakness tho...then again, half my team is weak against Earth! Spoiler Tanky physical focus attacker. The last one to join my team after replacing fast focus attackers that couldn't do the job well and just kept dying before doing anything. She can atleast survive, tank and then hit back, hard! Spoiler Zapdos is now a cute girl! Spoiler The tanky Moon soverign, saver of asses. Being tanky and having high SATK and access to healing, she saved my ass quite a few times. Spoiler Toxin staller We fightin on Rainbow Road or somethin. LET'S DO THIS! 16 minutes ago, Punished Dayni said: It's time. 3pm tomorrow here, might end up being in transit during it. bout time 9 minutes ago, Punished Dayni said: Me, not a British citizen.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 OH MY GOSH, Touhou Puppet Dancer Performance! I loved this game, and it has been the only Pokémon game I have played and beaten yet. Sadly I played an early version without the characters past T13. Seeing my beloved Junko is epic! I would love to play a more modern version of it, but sadly I have not found one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
