Armagon Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Finished both seasons of K-On. Is a good one. Can definitely see why it's held in high regard. One of the things i love in any story is when the main cast is just really good friends and that's something i got here. No real complaints although i do find it a bit odd how the second season doesn't end with the graduation. There's three more episodes after it that take place before the finale and i felt like they should've been OVAs instead. Ah well, not too big of an issue. I'll probably watch the movie tomorrow and then read the two sequel mangas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I'm not fond of Rean in CSI and II (I tolerate him in III though), Corrin is leagues below him in my books. The most bland protagonist in videogames I've played yet.

Milla is on Yuri's level or awesomeness if not more so! Worth the money, easily! Milla Maxwell Lord of Spirits is very good indeed. I assume you picked her route over Jude's? I did and I never did go back to go see his, although the split only affects a few points, albeit ones that I should watch on an LP at least. Milla and Yuri are fairly distinct, but his badassery and her divinity make them both great on the surface. When it comes to depth... I might give the edge to Milla, not that Yuri didn't have an unusual shred of development stemming from his personality deviating from the norms for a JRPG protagonist. As for Jude, I found him cute, and not bad in any way, but subtlety loses to awesomeness. Being a fisticuffs MC gets a half-point too. 1 hour ago, Benice said: I really should have gone with Luck as a boon, you're right, at least if Birthright is as easy as people say. I'd say it's curved. Starts fine, not too hard, but not easy. Then there's a handful of consecutive chapters in the midgame where the enemies turn inexplicably weak. And then things ramp up again in the lategame. Going up to Hard and Lunatic adds a few more enemy reinforcements in at least two of the lategame maps. It's never Conquest in terms of map design, nor do enemies really ever get that many skills on them, but thats Birthright for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pre-split chapter is never not annoying to me, almost makes me want to skip the pre-Branch of Fate stuff. Kaze is too frail, Corrin has to everything but isn't invincible and can't be everywhere at once, and Rinkah... well if you love underdogs, as I sense you might, you may wish to use her in BR (or Revelation). The poor warrior woman and lone default Oni Savage is in by a class that specializes in Str and tanking, yet her HP is very low, her high Skl and Spd are ram the low class caps, and low Res doesn't help either. I recognize more than others do that Fiery Blood salvages her Str, on someone with better stats that personal skill would be rockin', yet it only brings the stat to averageness. Rinkah is Lot-ish maybe? I feel she takes time to get off the ground too, her high Spd growth doesn't help her double in the earlygame, where her not high Atk presents another problem for getting kill EXP. Most often, Rinkah winds up a Defensive Stance backpack for me because +Str & Def are rare for a DS partner on BR.

Benice Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Y'know, part of the reason I'm not enjoying path of radiance is probably that most of my units have been badly speed screwed. To the point that Mia is the only unit who can double. For example: (Note that I'm rounding up, so some cases aren't quite as bad as they seem.) Spoiler Ike: Level twelve at chapter ten: -4 speed off of his average, with merely + 2 magic and + 1 strength compensating for that. Boyd, level 18, is -2 speed, average HP, (capped) -4 luck, (Not that it matters) and +2 defense. He had great levels right away but has had really bad ones since around level ten. I gave him the speedwings, so he can take out some soldiers in one round, though. Oscar: Level nine, but he's already -3 strength and -1 speed. Soren: -1 speed, -2 magic at level 9. Ilyana: -2 speed at level 12 Rolf, (the obvious MVP of every efficient run): -1 speed. But hey, at least my Marcia is godlike even though she's only gained three levels. Maybe I should consider investing in her... Or maybe I should consider just using the units with better bases simply because the RNG ain't being too kind to speed.

XD --- On the subject of Corrin and Rean, here's my honest hot take: Corrin can't be the worst Fates character to me when Xander, Ryoma, Takumi, Leo, Hinoka, Camilla, Azura, Jakob, Dwyer, Kiragi, Forrest, Laslow, Caeldori, and Soleil exist. And with Rean, it's kinda the same. He's bad, yes, but there's also Alisa, Rufus, Osborne, Lechter, Claire, nearly the entirety of Ouroboros (except Duvalie and McBurn), Crow, Aurelia, Josette (as of Sky FC), George, and Angelica, all of whom I consider either equally bad or worse than Rean is. And then Otsuu trumps them all in terms of awfulness by virtue of being the main character of her game. Thank goodness Mary Skelter isn't IF/CH's main thing. And if they ever make a Nep x Mary Skelter crossover, I hope they don't put Otsuu in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNG has not been on your side. Almost every one of my units could double fairly early on and got to doubling quickly when I got them later. BEXP should help fix the slower units though.

So technically she would be in a tier on her own! ZSS is my second main, just not played nearly as often as Lucina of course. Bottom is characters I dislike a lot, which is why Yoshi is on the bottom! The bottom characters don't play a way I don't like or don't suit my style, which is why they are there as well. I'd say D tier is where it gets to where I start to really dislike them. Also, as you will notice, I don't like heavies very much! I'm very picky when it comes to choosing characters I like to play.

I never could get Soleil in Fates (since his father sucks), so I can't argue here.

OG Class VII as a whole is a bit of a mess within the story. They had their chance in the spotlight, CS2 denied them that chance by basically rendering everything they do pointless, because of the lol Deus Ex Machina NPC saves, and CS3 made a very botched attempt at redeeming their credibility, which - in my opinion - came across as somewhat desperate and didn't work whatsoever. This is why I thought new Class VII was a necessary step, because the "old guard" already failed. But they didn't really do anything with or for new Class VII, either. But I ranted about this extensively before, so I'll spare you the sermon. XD 5 minutes ago, Julian Teehee said: I never could get Soleil in Fates (since his father sucks), so I can't argue here.

Shrimpica Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 The problem with Corrin and Rean is that they both suffer from the Black Hole syndrome Everything must be about them. Everyone must follow them. Everyone must love them. Everything is just a Checklist for player instert/worship Their existence alone makes the rest of the cast much worse. anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
