    Going to save all of my quartz for Scathach later on in the year, I must have her no matter what! 

    Pretty much what I'm doing..  I must have Scathach in either her Lancer or Assassin form.

  2. I haven't bought Pokemon cards in a loooooooong time.  I bought them quite a bit in high school just for random purposes.  And like any kid who grew up during Pokemania, I had a lot as a kid.

    If I do buy them again, it's gonna be for the art because a lot of the artwork is good.  I love the full art cards and some cards that actually tell a story somewhat.

  3. Favorite fighting game?

    I haven't yet played a Mega Man game. Which would you recommend?

    Depends on what you like.  If you like platformers then Classic, X, Zero, and ZX is for you.  If you like a more RPG approach then Battle Network and Star Force might be for you.  Action-adventure? Legends.  So you got lots of games to start on.  But I do recommend Classic and X for sure.  My soft spot for Battle Network is yelling for attention, but I know it's not a super popular Mega Man series for a lot of fans.

  4. Like, that others don't like:

    • Pelleas - He's not a popular character, especially since he's more often than not in the shadow of other mages of RD, but I really like this guy.
    • Python - I don't think he's necessarily disliked or hated, but a lot of peoples' experiences with him weren't good, meanwhile my Python has been awesome.
    • Camilla - The difference I see between Camilla and Tharja is that Camilla at least has some sort of reason to be obsessed with Corrin, if only it was explored more..  But unfortunately we won't get to see her backstory.
    • Ike - Yeah, I put him here because from what I've seen from the vocal majority on SF, he's not a well-received character for quite the number of people.  But I like the guy.  I'm not gonna write a whole story for it here though.
    • Micaiah - Not the most popular lord character which is unfortunate.  I feel like she has a lot of potential that just couldn't happen (because yes, I will admit that Ike and Yune did overshadow her upon their introductions) and it was just a lost opportunity to create an amazing lord.
    • Sophia - What can I say that hasn't already been said before?

    Don't like, that others like:

    • Tharja - Tharja honestly is just a stalker/creep on Robin just for the sake of giving the player a character who is so devoted to them.  To me, it's really dumb that her whole character is basically based on that.  Also, poor Noire..
    • Alm - Just...so many characters in Gaiden/SoV worship the very ground he steps on. Yeah, the guy's gone through some stuff, but he just wasn't a character I resonated with the more I played.  I definitely related to Celica more than I did Alm.
    • Inigo/Laslow/Soleil - I'm not a fan of the playboy type of characters.  Always flirtatious and whatnot.  It's annoying.  I give a character like Gatrie a pass on this because he doesn't have a lot of luck when he tries.
    • Shinon - I've honestly never really used him.  I almost always use Rolf in PoR and RD.  I don't mind his initial attitude towards Ike and the Greil Mercenaries because it made sense to me.  But his general attitude to everyone is just so...bleh to me.  I don't know how to explain it.
    • Soren - I've...never had any good luck with Soren.  Soren hasn't really been a solid unit for me ever and he just fails to be as amazing as some people make him out to be.  I do enjoy his story though.
  5. If you played Mega Man, which series was your favorite? (Classic, X, Legends, etc.)

    Same question you asked.

    I'm starting to collect dice now.  Like DnD dice because there's just something so strangely satisfying about the colors of dice and also the sound when rolling them.  I dunno, but I like them haha.

    So is it a bad idea to play act 6 or...

    Like others have said, completely your choice to play Act 6 since once you beat Act 5 you technically beat the game anyway.  Act 6 is just an add-on.  But I would recommend at least one cleric and a couple of mages/priestesses.  Seraphim helps quite a bit when dealing with the monster units.  If I can remember correctly, the team I had going into the Thabes Labyrinth was Celica, Alm, Sonya, Kamui, Saber, Palla, Python, Delthea, Genny, and Lukas.  What also helps is knowing what items your characters are going to have equipped since skills are a pretty important thing when going through the labyrinth.

    As for the team to bring, completely your choice.  Different people have different playstyles.  Hell, I brought Python with me (since he's being notorious for not doing well for others) and he was MVP against the boss in the labyrinth.

    And for improving, it really depends on them game.  In Awakening's Hard Mode, use the highly defensive characters for bait and then take them out with the units you want to level up.  After a while those units you'll use to defeat the enemy will be able to hold their own especially if they're paired up with someone.  Overall, look at the enemy's stats, skills, etc. to get a better picture.

  7. Favorite Mario character, and why?

    Same question (favorite book/book series?).

    I honestly don't really have one since I haven't read a book in a long while that wasn't a textbook (and even then I never finish it).  But I did really enjoy Ready Player One a lot for the geeky references and story.

  8. I treat amiibo just like usual gaming merch.  Even though it has some functionality depending on certain games, they're just merch of some of my favorite characters.  I got all of the Smash Bros. Fire Emblem characters and I bought a random Ryu amiibo because why not?

    When I was in Japan I saw some Monster Hunter Stories amiibos that I thought about buying, but didn't because I have no idea why considering I had leftover yen.  But all in all, they're just merch to me like almost any other figurine.

    I know right. Even Sara had more plot relevance than Sonya and Manfred barely appeared in Thracia 776! But they were hamstring with the way she was recruited in the original game. The only way around it would have been to also massively expand Deen's role in the story or have Sonya recruited elsewhere and replaced her with a new character as the minion of Grieth.

    Yeah, it would've been hard to make her more relevant...which is saddening.  I wouldn't mind seeing Deen's role being expanded, but there's not much to expand upon unless they want to add stuff.  I could even see Sonya taking on a mentor-ish role for Celica, kinda like Saber.

    Though I would think it would've been cool if you chose to get Deen instead of Sonya, that Sonya later becomes a Witch like her sisters because they could've gone with the family united through death/evil thing...but they probably just wanted to keep it true to OG Gaiden.

    Speaking of which, it really sucks that Sonya's tied to the Samson-Arran archetype. The fact that she's Judah's daughter should be a way more important plot point deserving an actual role in the story and a glimpse into what the Duma faithful are like at both their best and worst.

    I forgot to mention this, but I felt Sonya should have been more relevant.  I get that she's supposed to fill a certain role, but how can the daughter of one of the main antagonists of the game not be more important?  And not to mention she fights her sisters too.  If anything, Sonya probably should've had way more screen time than most of the other cast that wasn't Alm or Celica.

    If they don't use obvious Vampire!Leo I will feel very dissapointed

    I thought this too.  I'd like to see Dullahan!Berkut or Black Knight, Frankestein's Monster!Benny, and Witch!Ilyana.

    It would also be fitting for Velouria and Keaton to fit into a Halloween theme considering they're basically werewolves.
