I'm liking that it's different too. Rasche in the above two vid I post was being a bro who is acting plain old crazy nudist (which I found quite funny). Which itself is different from a jolly gay guy (who I could feasibly see as a bro) waking up in the morning and making breakfast at the stove wearing just an apron singing a tune and swaying his ass as he flips the pancakes. It could just be traditional Japanese onsen culture at play in XC3 (and possibly Finnish/Scandinavian as well, given their traditions of hot springs) for the difference with Lanz here. However, it could be something more. Factoring in the unimportant parts of the conversation I left out, and what you've said in general, I get the impression that being living tools of war, that the XC3 cast is removed from societal norms to a degree. There are certain things that define "innocence", and some but not all of them are a lack of understanding of the norms of society. Thusly, Lanz (and the others) is possibly/arguably innocent. Which one would not expect of a matured male with a hulking physique, it's a trait that in fiction you would more commonly associate with children, up to maybe age 16 in JRPGs/animanga given Sagi and Rex. Purity in one whom it is not expected, one with strength and masculinity. Given Lanz is clearly physically and mentally a rational adult able to give consent, that possible purity is an attractive prospect.😊 Like he's a giant teddy bear and you're waiting for him to snuggle you.😘 1 hour ago, Newtype06 said: Because I wanted to share the news that not even Rune Factory was safe from the degeneration of the Internet Dwellers... That was me making a slight "gay guy can't understand why someone would want to look at a nekkid gal" joke.😛 57 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: Y'know... I don't get why this bothers people. Honestly curious. Gameplay options primarily. In 3H, with DLC for War Cleric, females can't be good with Gauntlets, because they don't get Brawler, Grappler, or War Master. It's is quite annoying that an entire (new) weapon type is inaccessible to women. As said above too, lance-using men can't be great fliers either since Peg and Falco are female-only. Hubert can't go Gremory either, the only class with Dark Magic Uses x2, b/c female only. Gender-locked classes deny characters in reclass-having games their full set of options. And not with any real in-universe logic (Pegasi don't like men because... it just is!), nor any sense intended of gameplay balancing through what is locked to each gender. You could also say aesthetics, but it's more of a distant second for FE. It's more of a reason in MMOs and life sims, where some Final Fantasy XIV fans love their Male Vieras and men dressed as sexy as 2B and wouldn't want a world where they couldn't dress like that.

I didn't even go into the point of Mad Dog symbolically being so determined to get Sundown to the degree he'd ride a horse that's the personification of violence just to get a bounty. Which if that doesn't fit him to a tee what would? I generally understand your reasoning though. Won’t it make more sense to have Jules de Grandin and Samual Trowbridge instead of Holmes and Watson?

A branch reaching out. I should try at least. Take a step in the right direction. Despite it all there's a feeling still. A feeling that I can still trust again. It could have been all the above. .......... Perhaps an overly trusting attitude. Mayheps it was to avoid acknowledging the fact that I let myself follow this course. Maybe I hopes I would not be made the fool, but that had definitely not been true before now. Then why let it be so taken to heart? I had let myself open to such foolishness. Become vulnerable to it. No, for I had left my guard unattended at some point. If I am more than merely acting the fool is it being taken advantage of? Only to end up being deceived and tricked so simply. If I came to this thread seeking merriment and a succor to a world uncaring. All this to make me wonder if I had been betrayed. A pun so cliche that by acknowledging that it is this sentence becomes cliche? A piece that left mere bafflement as to why it was used? And for what? A wild goose chase that took you more time to prepare than for I to open? I come to the thread expressing frustration. As if levity was the answer I seeked in the moment. What makes it so certain I was opening up spoilers looking for puns? Okay that's actually a banger though. 6 minutes ago, Awoken Dayni said: Nothing serious, but it certainly explains PoR.

"Prankster children"?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petard Quote A petard is a small bomb used for blowing up gates and walls when breaching fortifications. It is of French origin and dates back to the 16th century. A typical petard was a conical or rectangular metal device containing 5–6 pounds (2–3 kg) of gunpowder, with a slow match for a fuse.

Shrimpy -Limited Edition- Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 A bit late (sorry was xenoblade'ing) but when it comes to gender lock + customization i think there should be something equivalent, like how Fates did it with Priestess (Female only, A Staves B Bows) and Priests (Male only, A Staves B lances), otherwise they learn the same skills and fulfill same roles. Don't want Male Pegasi? Fine, but give us Male only Griffon Knights or something fulfilling same role. Same when it comes to Warmaster, Gremory, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punished Dayni Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Spoiler Oh shit all the Odios are in the room. Also the Lord of Dark resists Holy. Huh. Well, worse than that using the attack that's said to be what felled him proceeds to get Retribution, which can deal 400 damage on Hasshe. Hasshe! That or you get super lucky and he only hits you twice in the multihit move. All this to say the Lord of Dark fight is cool. And then Hasshe spits out blood. Well that's a bad sign. .....And he's dead, having kinda gone back on his misantropy. Side note, the purple lights that guide you in the right direction? Nice touch.

Punished Dayni Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Spoiler Do I cause fear in Royal Guards by attacking them? As in regular attacks can cause Fear in them and they run around as such?
