[Create Your Own Holiday]

Personally, I think every Wednesday should be a day off in the same vain as the Weekend. THAT WAY, it seperates the working week and makes it more manageable by giving you the much needed break in between. And then it's like everyday's a Thursday or Friday unless it's Wednesday or the Weekend!

The dentist said to avoid hard foods for two days, so I should be fine in that regard.

Especially since I don't really eat hard foods in general.

What makes this great is I'm only seeing it now so, problem solved? XD

From what my toothless dad has told me, it's a matter of getting used to it. Once you do that, you're fine. Really hard foods will still hurt though.

FOR EIGHT MONTHS!

EIGHT

FUCKMOTHERING

MONTHS!

ANYWAY, I HAD A DENTIST APPOINTMENT TODAY, AND I MENTIONED THAT I HAD ONE LAST BABYTOOTH AND THAT IT HURT WHEN I ATE, TO MY IMMENSE FORTUNE, AN APPOINTMENT AFTER MINE WAS CANCELED, AND THE DENTIST SUGGESTED, "Hey, I have free time, you keep complaining about that tooth, how about we take 20 mins and pull it out?"

AND I FINALLY

FINALLY

LOST MY LAST BITCH-ASS TOOTH!

ABOUT FUCKING TIME!

Call me crazy, but I'm getting the impression that you were immensly bothered by it.

[Let's talk about AI]

Heck apply it to all units and auto-battle might be a more viable option.

Y'know, after thinking on it a little more, I realize it might be wiser to implement certain strategies for the AI to use and have them assigned to a combination of the stat values and their personality. If you have the enemies with a certain personality in a position you think you have him, he could have a different strategy based on his stats and perhaps remaining health. For example, a Pragmatist AI might switch to a Coward's strategy of retreating if its Defense or Resistance is lower than its Speed while its HP is lower.

That still doesn't help things much. Is a unit promoted at level 20 considered to be at a higher level than another unit promoted at level 10? Or are they both treated as being the same level?

Fates treated promoted units as 20+ current level. So a level 5 Hero is considered level 25. Maybe do that?

1 hour ago, NinjaMonkey said:

Which would usually be your Lord unit i.e. what normally happens anyway. Also, how do you define "stronger"? Is Soren with capped magic (40) stronger than Ike with capped Strength (37)?

Base it around the offensive stat of the currently equipped weapon. In this case, yes as Soren's most offensive weapon being a tome would put him higher than Ike's most common offensive weapon. Things could be shifted by giving Ike a Sonic Sword though. That shifts your opponent's strategy and makes you have to plan around those unit types when using your strongest units.

[If weapon swap was a thing, who would have what]

Interesting perspective.

With Navarre, his base moveset captures his trademark anime speed perfectly, and I can't help but wonder which backup style would best suit him. Perhaps Ryoma's would be a good fit (and it would also help with Navarre's frankly awful dueling). 

That's the one I was thinking. I don't think Marth's or Chrom's would fit his style very much and it's clear that the Twins style is made to seperate them from other characters (not that Navarre would have a shield for the gimmicky attacks it's used in) it helps narrow it down, frankly.

[If weapon swap was a thing, who would have what]

7 minutes ago, Etheus said:

For the most part, I was thinking in terms of existing movesets that characters would swap between. With, for example, Owain using Robin's moveset, Ryoma using Oboro's, Lianna and Olivia using Azura's, etc.

 

There were some exceptions for movesets that simply don't exist yet. Such as Hinoka and the bow. In these situations, we would get a new moveset. If this were done with a FEW2 in mind, they would share said new moveset with another new character. In this example, Hinoka would be taking Claude's moveset.

 

In terms of changing movesets while keeping the same weapon type, that would certainly be helpful in a few cases, like Tiki who simply couldn't conceivably use another weapon. In other cases, it might be immersion breaking (ie: where did Chrom learn Hoshidan swordsmanship?).

I'm not saying to take every character and keep them with the same weapon type but change the moveset. I'm saying that for characters that logically don't have a simple idea of what to switch to, such as Linde,  it'd be better to switch them to a pre-existing fighting style that's different from their default.

Chrom fits with the Lance for example. I actually think Navarre could benefit from the style change however as it fits more with his devotion to the blade.

Combining the concepts leaves more to play around with. That's what I'm saying. 😃

[If weapon swap was a thing, who would have what]

Maybe instead of giving every character a new weapon, some could simply change their fighting style with the weapon type they have.

For example, Linde could switch her fighting style to Robin's.

Certainly, some characters should have weapon swaps but overall, I think that those that don't should have a nice gimmick to mix things up for them a little.

[(slight spoilers) Is it actually possible to sustain an injury in a way that prevents the use of swords but not the use of axes?]

Y'know, stumbling on this topic just now has only made me want to see more two-handed axes in the series at some point. By which I mean perhaps a subset of axes that are heavier, do more damage and have a unique animation that has them being held with both hands. I don't recall seeing all that many up to now and I find that a little weird.

[Your favourite female Wyvern Rider?]

I'm gonna sound unoriginal but I'm just gonna chalk it up to people sharing great taste. I like Jill for her character development and because she's pretty invaluable when you recruit her each time. In addition to that, my experiences with her have always been positive and I'd love to see her in a second FEW title.

I'd like Vergil from Devil May Cry as a Mii Swordfighter costume with Nero as a seperate possibility who could be used for all 3 types.

If only because I want Dante as a fighter.

Rodin could be a cool Brawler too.

[I created a "custom" class tree]

I'm gonna have to look at this properly when I get onto my laptop in a while. There's a few ideas I'd like to throw around myself now.

[Scripted Deaths for Player Characters]

Personally, I'm all for it from a narrative standpoint but  personally try to collect as many units as I possibly can when playing through so being forced to lose one, no matter who it might be and even if I don't use them, would make me feel very much "Aww, man this sucks." The only exception I can really say I'd approve of it for is if the character canonically survives and returns in a sequel a-la New Mystery.  There is also of course this to consider:

What if i play blind, i am soloing or almost soloing whit that unit and then i lose it on friggin chapter 18 when there is no chance to train everyone else? This is pretty easy to happen if, say i am using mostly the lord and the Jeigan.

In general i am againist playable characters deaths because the hit you take in gameplay is not always justified by the "story improvements", unless you have an expy joining right after like Kratos and Zelos in Tales of Symphonia, but if a random person dies, you have to design at least a sub per class.

As well as tweaking the dialogue for the character deaths to all thusly be written and portrayed in-character rather than having someone that's a little too self-absorbed go off and potentially sacrifice themselves for example.
 

2 minutes ago, Flere210 said:

It's much better to just kill a predeterminated character and then write them in a compelling way. It's not guaranteed that the player would care, but sometimes the player does not care particoularly about their S rank(case in point, me). And i can already watch the discussion "SPOILER: don't have any support conversation before chapter 18 whit any character except for one you hate".

Kaze only requires an A Rank though.

@Light Strategist I was being a bit sarcastic, because IRL I am a pretty easy going person.  I would never really punch somebody in the nose for saying stuff, but yes I have had the rest of the things I have said happen to me IRL.  It is just really hard being a type one diabetic right now, because no one cares about how if something happens to screw up the calculations I make with my meds I can die and anyone that doesn't know me very well would not call the paramedics until it was too late.

Being flat about it. I know for a fact that I couldn't handle being in your position. What I eat is so narrow-scoped that I'm sure that unless it's salty, it's more than likely full of sugar content somewhere. I'd legitimately wind up dead from being in your position just because my diet is so narrow. (And truthfully, I'd also rather not talk about it.) You're far stronger than you're credited for being and I have no choice but to give you that much. You deserve so much more than what people seem to be giving you and the fact that people are berating you for something that's out of your control is beyond disgusting. Keep your strength and fortitude high. Too many people these days lack those qualities.

The thing is I explain until I am out of breath, but no one cares.  I have never gotten an apology for the stuff people have said even after explaining.  I have tried non aggressive means for most of my life to no affect.  I have had it with being the "nice" and"bigger" person, I want to be able to use my fists to do something since people Hate type ones so much it drives me crazy because the uncaring has been causing people like me to die.  

But that's... so sad... although now that I've slept I've got a passive/aggressive method of attempting to educate those dickheads. The only thing springing to mind is forcing them to consider being in your position. So much so that it makes them literally start to squirm with the inability to tolerate the idea. Drive home to them why you kick far more ass than they can comprehend.

You know, like my post about persecuting infidels. "Hahah, how intolerant! It's funny because we know it's a bad thing even though we get so upset about less important things than religion."

'Cause if our responses to this thread weren't meant to be jokes, I'd have said something like education reform or prison reform. You know, we'd talk about actual political issues and not silly pipe dreams, and the thread would be banished to hellish shadow realm known as Serious Discussions.

Sort of. I was just trying to make it clear that I seem to be at odds with myself, advocating peace and then making an immediate 180 going from:

"No, don't hurt them! They are too foolish to understand."
to
"YEAH! FUCKIN' KILL 'EM! TEAR THEIR THROAT OUT AND WEAR IT AS BELT!"

Makes me seem mentally all over the place. Which to be honest I'm not sure about...

[Extra Data]

31 minutes ago, Baron the Shining Blade said:

3DS save data is always stored on the SD card, though I don't have any DLC for Fates CQ so I can't vouch for save files 4-9. Unfortunately, even then, an SD card with 3DS save data cannot be used on another 3DS system unless you perform a System Transfer, which...kinda requires the original system to be functional. 😕

Wouldn't swapping out the motherboard resolve the issue you're thinking of though?

It's been a long while since I've used my 3DS or anything but I think the Extra Data is also stored on the SD card. I'd suggest waiting for someone better informed before acting on that information though.

[What else do you want to be a human right or have some sort of legal policy?]

In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have had that in the same post I'm advocating peace in. It almost seems tacky and indecisive.

With all due respect, what exactly would punching someone in the face teach them? All it expresses is that what they have said has made you angry. There are other ways to handle things like that. I can't think of any at the minute but I'm sure there are less aggressive solutions.

[What custom moves from SSB4/moves from past games would you give to Echoes?]

Just throwing in this idea as a little what-if concept but:

If Morgan was an Echo for Robin, I'd give them Thunder+ and some of Robin's other customs from Smash 4 just because they'd actually reflect the diversity of an Echo rather well and it'd help acknowledge the idea that Morgan is still young (being the youngest child in Awakening if I'm not mistaken) but also incredibly powerful as they easily have the most potential just through Robin's potential partners.
