Yes, this is true. It definitely depends, but it absolutely can be like this.

Mmm. SRPGs are the worst offenders when it comes to this. Lunatic FE is just stat inflation to the moon and it makes training anybody way harder than it needs to be.

Time to give it a try. 

Opening trailer shows they didn't nail the character design the first time. Cartoony, oversimplified, and rough are words I could use to describe it. Could be bias speaking but I do prefer how they refined it later. Emphasis more on Reiji than Xiaomu is understandable given Saya is more his antagonist, yet still odd in light of Xiaomu's greater popularity in due time.

Now, let me get underway, to my third & first meeting of the Shinra Duo + Saya (and her goons), and my fifth & second encounter with 'MOS. The first in Monolith's impromtu line of what is now five games spanning two genres to share a general combat system. All crossed, yet united solely in story by the presence of the aforementioned four.

CHANGE OF PLANS!😅

I didn't need inasmuch as to kill the first enemy to conclude I'm going to postpone NxC until December 25th at the earliest. 

First problem- the font. I'm alright with the frequent typos and text box overflows of this antiquated fan translation, those don't bother me too much. It's the l e t t e r  s p a c i n g. I'm sometimes "Font Sensitive" I've discovered with video games. Not all the time, but I became aware of this when trying to play XCX without an HDMI cable on the big screen, the lettering was too small. Combat menu font isn't as problematic as story text thankfully. Unfortunately, any translation is better than no translation at all XS I&II, and fan translations are already an ordeal, so I don't see the game getting anything better anytime soon.

I'd be alright putting up with the first problem, but I've realized I want to address the second issue before I actually play NxC- my lack of a controller. My PS3 Dualshock doesn't connect to PCSX2, and I'm not going to swap my Switch Pro Controller to the gaming laptop either. I had my concerns about going in controller-less here, but then I did make it through SRW OGs using solely the keyboard. Yet for NxC, the greater interactivity of combat makes that a big no. I will, thanks to store cash obtained when purchasing my gaming laptop, be getting a "complementary" 8Bitdo controller for Xmas, hopefully that'll readily connect to the emulator and alleviate this problem.

Until then, NxC is frozen. I'll keep Xenosaga hermetically sealed in its maintenance bed until then as well.

As for what to fill the 21 days until Xmas with then? Well, sure, I'll resume Xcode tomorrow, after another day of meditation so as to prepare for puzzle koans only a bodhisattva or better could solve. And besides that... I've other things in my backlog (Etrian Odyssey Nexus being the most bothersome one). I've also the inkling to eschew my plans to delay Kyosuke's Route until after XS Episode II and start and finish those 42 battles before Xmas. I would then delay the OG2 portion of OGs for a very long while, months, after XS Ep III as according to the earlier plan. (Berwick Saga is still on course to be after XS Episode I for those interested in that knowledge.)

Well @Interdimensional Observer, the good news is there are ways to deal with the OP bosses.

Spoiler

It's a superboss, you think I'm just going to put it in one spoiler?

Spoiler

This is impressive.

Shows the builds and all, but despite being level 1, that's irrelevant when he's going damageless as that doesn't alter Atk. It's also why he clearly triples down on the pin he does because it's super effective against Leo Cantus. The Groove boost also doesn't matter too much here because he doesn't use it much.

Use for my Switch, can confirm it is good.

Just be careful you don't knock off the cover on the lower triggers, did it to myself.

If you want who I think you’ll hate, I’m 10000% sure you’re gonna find Mayuri painfully generic. Not hate, but you will find her generic. I mean, maybe that means hate to you, idk.

That's the tuturu girl, isn't it.

It's 100% the tuturu girl...

This is not reassuring for this character. But, let's keep an open mind. Perhaps we'll be surprised.

Nope, enough Fates for today

Feeling this way myself, actually. Though not for the same reasons, of course. Too much difficulty, not feeling the challenge vibe right about now.

Enjoy peak FE gameplay however!

As it was my first Fire Emblem I understand well enough how...curious the story is.

I do remember it being a perfect evolution of gameplay though! I particularly remember the weapon triangle being far more relevant than it ever was in Awakening.

Although I thought that, but this line

Did warm my heart juuuust a little. (This being her first thought for “practical applications” of sending emails to the past.) Her voice actor also does a phenomenal job, imo.

Are you going to play Conquest? That’s the one that pretty much all of the teehee hype is about.

I'm still deciding I suppose. I played Birthright recently but that playthrough felt so empty that I kind of want to give it another try.

Much sooner than I initially conceived, and I still have my reservations about doing so, but I'll start that semi-awkward other version of OG1. I want to play something on my gaming laptop ATM, and if NxC is too jarring played on keys, I'll go back to the one game I know I can work with in the format. From Reiji to Kyosuke, not much of a shift at all.😆

Impressive, I like seeing people break the hardest challenges in games legitimately. But I'm not going to get to it right now, good to know of it if I need it though.

It's a good suggestion that isn't Black Cat set (the equivalent of Black Planets from the original) or Four Seasons builds like I've been using so far (Four Seasons are the pins talking about seasons from Gatto Nero, they all heal with light attacks and it stacks when you have all four), though of course it works off of being super effective as well, you would have to use different pins for other AD bosses.

Ngl, none of what I've seen from you and Ruben have convinced me that Conquest Lunatic is good.

Then again, I'll be using battle saves if I ever do that 😉

Yeah that was an issue for me too. You could tell this fan-translation is rather ancient and the game's niche status means it never really got updated.

I take it the translation for Exceed fares better.

Is it really more interactive tho? Most of it is just pressing the D-pad in a direction plus circle. I was able to get through just fine with keyboard.

Looking forward to see what you think of the Wave Element when you get to it.
