ping Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Oh, not to mention that "Petra" is a fairly common name in German. Just the male version of "Peter". Somewhat out of fashion (I'd say you mostly find it with women between 40 and 60 years old), but not really a name that signals "from a faraway country" for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punished Dayni Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 4 hours ago, Armagon said: Yes, this is basically the gist of it. Plus, if you do get to finish everything you wanted to do, you can just skip the remaining days and progress the plot/beat the game. In hindsight, i don't know why i wrote "Like Persona 5, Atelier E&L has the story split over chunks and you have deadlines at the end of these chunks. Even if you complete the primary objective, you still have to wait before you can advance to the next chapter" because you technically don't have to wait if you really don't want to. But the point still got across, so it's fine in the end. Okay, that's fine. 3 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Bro: LET ME SPEAK! Hero: Bro... Bro: I'm tired of being your bro.

Course, you are right homophobia is still very prevalent if you flip through the other articles there. I'll be honest, I was on the site to see if there was anything added to the photography section for Pride Month. A dose of cold reality to go with it is unwanted but deserved. Things are getting better, I promise ye that much. Hell, it wasn't that long ago when the f word was used regularly, and now it's properly recognized as a slur. 13 hours ago, Benice said: Wow, I hadn't a clue that they stretched out that far...

It's just funny to be on the receiving end of the "far away = mysterious" trope for once, instead of the usual "German = harsh/angry". Not too different from simple Chinese words as tatoos, really. (and honestly, silly naming schemes are great fun.

Saint Rubenio Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Two things. 1- I was wrong. Karajan is good at combat. Remember when I said I played chapter 5's hardest iteration so I could get a tome for Karajan? It's a 3-range, brave nosferatu. He also got a three-times brave tome, for good measure. So now Karajan's good. Disregard that Accorte can use it too, it's better on Karajan. 2- He got another move point. Another one. On a 3% growth. He's one point away from capping move. Conclusion: When this game comes out, use Karajan. All of you. Even the ones that won't play the game. Mod Karajan into your game of choice and use him.
