You were bright enough to think this but you didn't think to just... not post?

Stop giving Ana advice, even when actively solicited. It never ends well, it's New Years' Eve, and I'm tired.

If you've beaten FE15 on Hard and FE16 on... Maddening? Then yeah, FE8 on Hard will be fine and FE8 on Normal would probably be dissatisfying.

People like her as a character. Some people find it satisfying to plump up a terrible unit into a very strong one with many green numbers. Nobody has thought she's a Good Unit by any metric since 2007. Decouple yourself from the idea that to like a character or to find them satisfying means that they are somehow playing the game wrong.

This thread needed to be left to its death.

If you would like to post your hot take on why contact wasn't made, as multiple people have by now attempted to do, consider that you are very unlikely to be in possession of all the facts, and that you are, by contrast, very likely to have your post hidden and ten points of warning added to your history.

Taking in the evidence, my judgement is that the Project Exile script was considered and publicly communicated to be complete and open for use by its team members, including Miacis. Creative control remains Cirosan's, and without having the time to do a deep reading of the text I take Miacis at their word that the script fixes were just that; fixes. I would encourage Cirosan to re-open communications with Miacis and reach an accord with them. In the meantime, this thread is not about to become a public discussion on who holds the rights to the script, and warns will be thrown around freely and immediately. We're six minutes into the 25th. Merry Christmas.

This tangent is going to go on forever. It is now over.

I mean that unless you put the five hundred images in every update under a the thread is very quickly gonna become too unwieldy to scroll through and load.

Spoiler tags are really useful and you should consider making use of them.

Jyn Erso.

Newjack by Ted Conover is a really good insight into the US prison system. Investigative journalist tries to get interviews, is stonewalled, tries to get a look in, is shown a Very Obviously Prettied-Up version of reality, decides "fuck it" and just signs up to become a prison guard himself for a year. Worth reading.

the videos thing is cute you guys should keep doing that

Yeah, Farfetched ain't happening. Surprising, but fair given how they've seemed to focus on popular units throughout the year more organically.

What the fuck is a 'medic'?

The implication that it is strictly optimal to get minimal blood in your mouth is cowardice, and betrays the feeble American fighting spirit. The true berserker aims for the lower end of the Decent Spatter tier.

lenient moderation does not work, this thread is already in the Not Worth Saving pile, goodnight

you don't fuckin say. If I'd got to this before the replies I would've locked it since it's a transparent excuse to lay down some #GamerHotTakes. As it stands, stick to characters (or broader IPs). I will be watching.

I plunked away at things on a computer every once in a while, and the house had a PS2 on which I played mostly FIFA 01 and 06 to death. But one day I got a DS, and that was the first experience of something truly being Mine. Final Fantasy 3 was the game that came with it. FF3 is genuinely terrible, but I made fun from noise, and am still fond of it. Just... have no desire to go back. I got hooked on FE because my mate had a GameCube and on that GC was FE9, so I used to bully him into playing it when I was over. We got to the finale and couldn't beat it because our Ike was stat-screwed (I mean, also we were terrible at the game...) and restarted, eventually beating it at the second time of asking. Around this time I got curious and figured out how to emulate FE8, so that was the first one I played directly.Then 7, then 4.

Enough focus is put on the One Time Byleth Cries that I do feel 'never cried' was literal. And it was unnatural and did freak Jeralt the fuck out. I mean, if a baby never throws tantrums, wine mums complement them on being well-behaved, rather than look for an exorcist. As far as more mundane questions... guesswork, combined with, like. You can generally tell when a baby's shat itself. But Byleth Never Fucking Cries, Ever, And Never Did is a deeply important plot beat to them, and I feel like ', except for special occasions' weakens that significantly.

I appreciate the thought, but nah. Also, thicc tip, just use 'they' pronouns instead of the long, unwieldy and occasionally inaccurate he / she. My personal headcanons are... implied strongly by the story in any case. Byleth doesn't quite sit right with the world. She's a little off, a little ... not-quite-reacting to things in certain ways. A lot of the time the game will deny her the straightforward love-and-peace-and-hug-it-out dialogue option, or it gives her the option to attempt jokes with really awkward timing. She doesn't quite get people. Also, let's be real, it's not all sun and roses with Jeralt. He's a fixture in her life, and she still has a strong sense of loyalty to him, but... is he a good father? Let's be real, he's pretty obviously not. They're always kept at arm's length, or at best with an awkward, forced camaraderie; I mean, that's basically the crux of Leonie's criticism in any case, that Byleth sees Kinda Shitty Dad Jeralt Who Never Told Her That Religion Existed instead of the idealised version Leonie's built up in her head. Speaking personally, that... resonates with my experiences. I'm estranged from my father, but that doesn't involve fights or shouting, just... a lot of awkwardness. Grinning and bearing it. Except that Byleth doesn't really grin, just stares blankly. byleth is important and i love her

ok boomer son of a bitch that was gonna be my mic drop before the thread delete but i keep forgetting which section i'm a mod of

WOD is a really good resource. It's all in Spanish but you can pretty much parse it with context regardless. The couple of chapters I saw with reinforcements were all finite, and I'm pretty sure there's no truly endless spawns.
