I don't see Square Enix playing nice, but if Xenosaga's on the table, I could see main cast making it in or T-elos. But I think xenoblade's more likely. In fact, I'm a bit surprised none made it in originally. Fun fact, I did the math and with 999 luck and justice at 9, you have a 0.59% chance of summoning kos mos off a legendary. Increasing justice to 14 gives you .69%, interesting. Assuming the datamines are right.

Interesting... I had no idea. I'm still a bit nervous to try it, but that's really weird....... I'm most curious about what they're going to do for DLC. Are the dlc blades going to be new characters or cameos? What on earth is there to make a story dlc about?

Yeah, this is the most annoying thing. Enemies can ambush you, but as far as I know, there's no way for you to ambush them. They also can always outrun you until you get way late game upgrades. As bubba said, the combat system itself is actually really good, it's just the game isn't balanced very well, so you don't ever really need to use it.

My quick review: The good: Combat is actually better than I expected. Most reviewers have been claiming it's too easy, which I haven't found to be super true. It's about as hard as Kingdom Hearts on normal mode, so not too terrible. Would have liked a hard mode, but it's still pretty fun. The locations are really well designed, and look really good, even compared to the previous game. Part of this has to do with how battles flow more naturally in dungeons (again, think kingdom hearts, you don't have break away encounters), which makes the dungeons feel a lot smoother. Towns are also a lot bigger, which is nice. Kingdom building is very addictive. Although I miss familiars, your city in this game is freaking massive. At level 2, you have 44 buildings you can construct, and it just keeps getting bigger. The bad: Chibi mode in your kingdom. This is the most frustrating thing for me. I want to be able to explore my town and see it close up, but you're stuck in chibi mode way zoomed out, so a lot of the details in your buildings are lost. It grates on me a lot, though I'm still enjoying it. Higgledies are just weird. The higgledies just don't work like familiars did. Idk. Maybe it's just me, but I really don't like them. Fortunately, you don't have to put any effort into them if you don't want to. The neutral: Army battles are incredibly simple. I don't actually mind this that much, since they do a reasonably good job of letting you apply your armies and showing off how good all your upgrades are, so I'll let it slide. It's not frustrating, but it's also not exactly fun, you just kind of blow through it without much thought. Overall: 8.5/10 A quirky fun, great visuals. My main complaints aren't that anything was done badly, but rather that some simple changes could have made it a lot better.

Not a bad idea. Though, if I do, I'd have to settle for a) not being able to grind legendary cores until I can get arduran back up and b) not getting extra copies the two exclusive aux cores Still might be worth it though. I'll think about it.

Legend of Korra isn't as good as Airbender, but that's like saying that getting silver in the olympics isn't as good as getting gold. I'd still recommend it over most other shows out right now. Now that we're several years out from it, my quick summary: Season 1 is great, though a little rushed. Looking back, I actually think it's my favorite, though it still has pacing issues. Season 2 starts strong, but then totally dips off course, but has amazing animation. Season 3 fixes most of the problems the other seasons had. Season 4 has a lot of great ideas that they don't commit enough to and end up ruining. So, watch season 1 (it's pretty short) and if you like it, at least stick through season 3.

Same here. I've spent over 500 cores (~100 legendary, ~400 rare) trying to get a Kos Mos on a 999 luck zeke... with justice as his highest idea (level 10). I love this game a ton, but I just want to fricking get to ng+ and start getting the torna blades.

I still am floored by how outright lies by the white house are just considered normal now. Sarah Sanders can literally say "they have a good working relationship and there are no changes" only for him to be fired hours later and no one bats an eye. Like, seriously, I know politicians lying has always been a thing, but this is just getting ridiculous.

@The Lord Of Gems: Just want to point out that they've never put any of the final bosses of games as a GHB yet, so I don't expect to see guys like Nergal or Medeus (though, technically Fire Dragon is the final boss, so I guess Nergal's possible) That said, here's my list. Limstella Ephidel Jahn (seriously, male dragon when?) Sonia Morzah Selena (the real one, not the stupid one with twintails) Glenn Fargus Dheginsea Kurthnaga Rajaion Petrine Zelgius Sephiran Oliver Hetzel Seven Heroes (Bramimond, Athos, etc) Linus (please don't screw up his art) Leila Ismare Carlyle Uhai Uther Young Zephiel Guinnevere Gale Areone Cyas Orson (dude would be so creepy) I guess that's a good start.

Thanks! I'm also glad we could keep this civil. I think we all want what's best for this country, we just disagree about how to get there.

I think you are absolutely right, but the two lead into each other. It's the cycle of capitalism, like how the economy crashes every 30 or so years. There is already plenty of competition in the ISP sphere, so I see no need to open it up further. And much as people argue that this is a business issue, I'm way more worried about censorship. If companies are allowed to shut off websites, even if that's not unconstitutional, it's still not a good thing.

There are a few problems with this rationale: First, collusion has happened multiple times in the past. While there's always a chance that it won't happen, that's only a chance. The thing about the market is it's not self correcting. This is largely due to the fact that companies, by definition, seek to maximize their profits, and will eliminate competition by any means necessary. This isn't an inherently good or bad thing, it's just how business works. If someone makes a better product than you, you can either a. make a better product or b. eliminate that company. The only distinction between these two options is which is cheaper. Sure you could lower your prices. But it's sometimes cheaper to just buy the other company. But the biggest thing is that I see absolutely no upside to revoking net neutrality. I mean seriously, what's the point?

Well, we're probably going to have a few months of litigation at the very least. I mean, they're already being sued by New York (the state, I think? Maybe just the city), so it hasn't really happened yet.

Heartily Agreed.

Something you have to remember is that this art is from a year and a half ago, before the game actually launched. None of these units were supposed to be armored originally, but it didn't make sense to reorder the artwork. A thing people get wrong about mobile games is how releases work. Art has to be commissioned months in advance (especially if they want to get high profile artists, which some games do these days.) Plus a lot of variations will get rejected, and so on. We already know that Robin and Tharja's arts date back to before the game was launched, back when it was supposed to release last october. They were probably going to be completely different units altogether.

Hilariously, I'd argue that if that bikini is made of metal, technically she is more armored than her base version, lol. But I think that she was switched to be an armor recently. I don't think that was the original plan when she was commissioned, which was over a year and a half ago, remember.

I did check on VGChartz, although now people are saying it's not as credible a resource. VGChartz gave Path of Radiance as badly outselling Radiant Dawn, with Shadow Dragon a bit higher. I believe it was POR: .58 mil RD: .49 mil SD: .61 mil SMNN... never mind: .35 I think. If someone wants to double check, they can. I'd like for everyone who posts claims to this thread trying to contradict me to post a source for their numbers. That includes you @Azure Sen I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, just if you're going to say something is "patently untrue", I want to see the numbers. Also, @Slumber is also right, most of the time. There are a few exceptions (like Sega) but Nintendo isn't one of them.

I am 99% sure it's Lissa, Chrom, Robin, and Tharja. The one on the left looks a ton like Lissa, which, if true, makes it very likely that they're going to go back to their "original" Christmas roster, which had Robin and Tharja. That's 3/4 out of awakening, and the character the one on the right looks most like is Chrom. Of course, if it's not actually Lissa, my speculation completely falls through. But I'm pretty sure it is. Also, @Jonahtron I think you're absolutely right, but what else would they do? It seems less likely they'd not do a tempest trial, so what else is there?

Failure isn't determined by sales numbers, it's determined by sales vs. expectations. Even if a game sold more than it's predecessor, it can still be a failure if it didn't sell enough to cover it's budget, or didn't sell enough to cover it's stock (number produced/number sold, remember, this was the physical media era), or didn't sell as well as their projections. Edit: Also, what are you talking about? I just checked, and Path of Radiance outsold each of those!! Edit 2: Well, Shadow Dragon did a little better. But still.

No problem. Yeah, I also hate it when people just throw out buzzwords without actually explaining them. That said, one minor correction: that's not how 911 systems work. They actual have a separate system for processing those that is created by an entirely different subset of service providers than those publicly available. This can be confusing, largely due to the fact that most of the providers are splinters of existing providers. Motorola Solutions, for example, is a completely different company from Motorola, even though they were once the same company, and have almost the same name.

Yup, that's where the mind naturally jumps from a name like that. I mean, it's a little rude to make assumptions, but still, the name is "edgelordweeaboo" I legit can't think of a more troll-y name than that. (other than mabye "IHateFireEmblem666")

Basically, Net Neutrality means that Internet Service Providers must provide equal access to all websites. That's the simplest definition. Internet is treated like electricity: you pay your bill, and you get access. They can't specify what you do with that access. If it gets repealed, Internet Service Providers will be allowed to either throttle (reduce access speed) or even simply turn off any website they don't like. For example, if the repeal gets passed, Verizon can just disable access to Netflix for all of their customers. Not even "you have to pay more for access" just, boom. Gone. Shut off. And if this sounds ridiculous, it's not. This is actually something Verizon did 3 years ago, to force people to subscribe to their own streaming service. This case led to the initial implementation of Net Neutrality rules. If you want to see how ridiculous things can get, check out the service in countries that don't have Net Neutrality. In some countries you have to pay for each individual website you want to have access to (like how cable TV works). $5 for Google, $7 for Google and Facebook, etc.

Lol. I have to wonder what people like him do when faced with reality. Like, he can keep saying, "the media is lying" till the sun goes down, but it's not going to change anything. Like, seriously. It's over. He has to know this.

I think other people have pointed it out, but there are three reasons for series nearly got cancelled: 1. Radiant Dawn 2. Shadow Dragon 3. Shin Monsou no Nazo.... you know. 12. I'm not going to try to get that one right. There are multiple reasons these three failed, but one reason stand above all others: The removal of support conversations. This is the single biggest factor. In the history of the series, no Fire Emblem game that had traditional C,B,A unique support conversations has ever scored lower than 85 on metacritic. And no Fire Emblem game without them has scored higher than 84 (including Shadows of Valentia and Warriors)
