Shades

I won't miss it if this is true. If it's not? Then it's not. My life will go on.

Sometimes a man gets ahead of himself and rolls into town unannounced. Sometimes a man forgets to smile and nod to his neighbor. Other times he slows down, taking it all in as he realizes an important feature his person is missing in this city: an introduction. They're cheap, right? Or so I thought. Hard to place a man that forgets to give his name and shake your hand. Or is it? I'd say the former. The name's as simple as it is to place me, but I try to be as insightful as a dusty pair of shades. Does it always work? Is it easy to be precise and imprecise for the sake of context? Maybe. And maybe I'm a little less than what you took me for. Whatever the case, sweet cheeks, I'm here now. Maybe that crossed a line. Too harsh? Too direct? There it goes again, that lacking impreciseness I seem to fall short of. Guess I'll take this one on the chin and just dilute the boggy atmosphere I've stirred; as long as you can put your feet up and count sheep in that old smoky room, we'll be tight as a Russian knot.

I remember it was raining--fairly heavily, at that--and some poor bum's dog was giving a cool cat the nastiest fanfare I'd heard in years, but that's nothing new. Or was it? Maybe at the time I wasn't thinking straight...Were the answers right there? Couldn't have been. No...not there. They say the eerie chill of a foggy morning is the first thing that creeps up your spine and smacks you square in the jaw, right? Ominous signs...Ominous...That looming sense of dread. Never was a man for the supernatural or the cliche--the cliche being my least favorite of the two. But something was different; the dog, the cool mist of that uninviting summer shower, the melodious call of some forsaken taxi driver got that the hard slip. It was all...leading to something. Alarms weren't going off at first; took a trip around the corner for the world to start piggybacking its malicious intent. There she was: a brand new Buick with a shiny red coat with enough pizzazz to singe the eyebrows off your dead mother--no offense. That beauty was the most stylish model I'd ever laid my eyes, but I knew she was trouble the moment I turned that corner. And then the fanfares started again. Something crept into the back of my mind like a bad itch up your uncle's back-- you can't scratch it, you just keep fidgeting until you think you've won--and it sent an icy shock through me that would've raised my ancestors from a bygone era. Why didn't I realize it from the beginning? The dog. The rain. The mist. Uncle Eddy playing for the Dodgers. "Brooklyn!" was the word my mind was shouting, but my eyes made my ears too deaf from the crazy noise that smooth ride was churning out. My jaw dropped like a sack of bricks in the middle of October. I should've known it sooner. It was mine.

The lumbering giant heaves its final, unrequited breath as it hobbles silently into the night. Maybe someday we shall meet again, as old friends.

I demand a JoJo/FE crossover for its 25th.

Japan is questionable sometimes. I would personally like to see a remake of 4 on the 3DS. One of my favorite FEs next to 7. But I do agree that Nintendo needs to put some of the GBA titles on the 3DS.

The friendzone is a mythical place where Truman and Roosevelt sing lounge.

To be honest, I'd be pretty bored if it weren't for Luna+ and Einherjar. Literally, the addition of past heroes/villains from the series has kept me playing for a while now (can't get over the weird combos like pairing Nergal with Gharnef). Rest of the game is fairly "eh" outside of some of the DLC below Lunatic for me and this includes the story/interactions.

---->Possible?<---- to do Apo SP without GF, LB, Einherjar-only, no Pair-Up, no rally, no braves?

EDIT: Never mind. Ended up finding the answer after exploring the site's wiki.

Sage for my female MU. I love being able to fry a peeweakling with Valflame right before turning around to rescue or fortify my team. Just feels super handy (although Bride is probably better).

If we get Cervantes, I'm gonna need a genderless S-support where the Avatar has the option to sprout their own superfluous and majestic beard, ...Possibly with a +1 to both the Science and Fear stats respectively.

Ugh. I wish you could recruit -all- spotpass characters at level 1. I have this itch to make Camus my leading man but that would destroy the purpose of the run (I have this weird appreciation/love for Grandmaster Camus).
