For the longest time I remember hearing nothing but people talking about Soleil/Ophelia and other supports of hers with females like they were ten times better than any she had with males. I was never interested enough to check, but it seems I should've known better; however much Treehouse tried to salvage her more controversial supports (and even then they're only 'meh' level now, nowhere near great), it doesn't seem to be able to make up for how terrible she is with the other girls and her own mother. Not to mention the fact that they gutted her male supports for no reason; I'm willing to bet none of them could possibly be as bad as that Ophelia one (
and I can't believe people would ship that over some of her better supports, like Kiragi...or what used to be her S rank with Kiragi...). I find it sad that after all that whining others did over the Japanese Soleil controversy, I actually miss some of her better written Japanese supports over what we were ultimately given; I appreciate what they tried to do with Corrin, but I could care less about that one and wish they'd left it alone if it meant her other supports wouldn't have been sacrificed. I guess she was never going to be anything more than a disappointment no matter what. Depressing, since I liked her character design from day 1, only to be a badly done trope... :<I'm also not a fan of most of Jakob's, but even though he's still mean to Felicia, I can appreciate Jakob/Felicia a little more than the others since there's a bit of familiarity between them that he lacks with other women, which makes me think that theirs is more realistic in that he'd be condescending but very willing to help her out with her maid skills. To the point that he considers any failure of hers a failure of his, and he won't give up on her till she achieves her dream of being a better maid. Doesn't excuse him still being a general jerk, but I found it to be more in character than his supports with most of the other women, who he lacks any familiarity reason to be so condescending to on the outset. That, and his non-jerkass supports were with people I preferred with others, so its the next best thing for me I guess.
A
nd while I don't hate them perse, I do find Xander/Charlotte and Takumi/Oboro to be very overrated and overdone in general.I'll probably have more when I find more...

Niles and Leo have such good chemistry. They're one of my favourite Lord/Retainer pairings.
They do! I'll admit, before I got to read their stuff, I wasn't expecting much (thought it'd be another typical innuendo filled one) but I was really blown away with the depth of character for both. I really like Niles (and Odin by extension too) waaay more than I ever thought I would; best retainers~!

Ammie translated Leon/Zero and wow I'm impressed
granted I'm not surprised bc Leon/Zero just screams good results but I love it
OMG I LOVE IT! I already liked their main game supports, and this just brings it full circle! Quality supports, those two, as usual~!
I need moar translations for their other respective convos! Its hard waiting...T^T -
Seriously IntSys?
I think that's the secret theme of the artwork for this game... -
Wow, even more characters?! That's great!
Though I'm wondering about the context of Setsuna's CG...?… I am mixed.
On the one hand, Hoshido didn't get screwed over wholly in this map, since Tsubaki and Setsuna were the secret choices.
On the other hand, if they were going give us two Hoshidans anyway why not just keep going down the damn poll? I mean, it just doesn't seem to make sense at all, their choices, and Nohr still got their top two men and top favorite girl for DLC while Oboro is the only "legit" Hoshidan and top Hoshidan dude got passed over. I mean, you guys can call me a salty Takumi fan all you want, but I am seriously confused about the priorities here! I really, REALLY don't get it and I'm more annoyed by the principle of how they decided to pick the winners more than anything else.
I kind of agree TBH. While its nice that they got some more Hoshidans, and its good for Setsuna and Subaki fans, they really should've given higher rated characters more of a priority. I don't even remember what place those two got....were they Dev choices?
And its ok; I would've been just as salty a Leo fan had the reverse happened, which could've been considering Takumi ranked first in all the previous polls. Speaking for myself, I'm also pretty sad that we didn't get Takumi and Azura since I really think they would've looked great, even with getting Leo.Though I suppose I have that at least. -
Ohhh WOW! They all look so FINE!!!! Leo especially.... >///<Geez, now I really wish they made even more art for all the characters. I'd love to see their hypothetical halloween costumes. I'm very pleased with how good the vampire motif fit the Nohr siblings though, especially Leo and Camilla~!

I love this rendition, especially the instrumentals; I like seeing Amalee's interpretations of songs, and this one is great! I can appreciate some of the new lyrics as well.
However, I think I'll be in the minority on this one and say I like the original better; Rena's and Renka's singing are still my favorite voices to listen to with this song, and while I understand that this was written before the localization came out I still prefer the lyrics we got in the game since I feel they reference and represent the events of the game better
(especially the Revelations verse, since the original hints at Anankos being the one singing the song while these new lyrics don't appear to reflect that at all; that was one of my favorite parts of the song, and it not being in there kinda disappoints me in the end).Still a lovely cover nevertheless! I'll certainly add it to my list of music to play while working on stuff, which includes other Amalee covers as well.

Ugh, my mom had to go to the hospital... and here I am just worrying...
Oh dear, I hope she's ok... :<

no no no
not that sad violin
the mlg one
also Senpai no offense but since you reply like
once every 4545465534 years(even though I know you gots that disorder) it still takes 2 forever to get progress
again, no offense
No offense taken. I know I have an appalling span of attention when it comes to hanging out here, but unfortunately I have lots of daily obligations that I already have a hard time keeping track of; everything else tends to fall by the wayside. Even so, that's no reason to unleash Monokumas on anyone. If it weren't for my upgraded defenses, I'd go mad from the endless "upupupupupupu"-ing. DXStill, now that Senpai has had a break, Senpai shall notice you again~! -
*
Senpai has [temporarily] stopped noticing you* -
I've invested in anti bear protection in the last year fyi
-
if silva doesn't reply in the next fifteen minutes, then we can assume that her house essentially got blowed up ded by a monobear
i will prepare the funeral and her will if it happens
oh wait she replied
damn, I missed
>:P

So you also go to a Japanese restaurant for you birthday. I always go to a Japanese restaurant in Ottawa for my birthday.Glad you had a good day! Where are you in Fates? I just started Revelations after finally overcoming the Conquest Endgame.
And how's TP HD? I kind of burn myself out on TP by collecting all the Poe's soul, all the bugs and all the piece of heart + completing the cave of ordeals. Never touched the game again after burning through a fully upgraded rupee pouch as well as 2 great fairy tears to beat the final floor with 4 darknuts.
I remember you threatening to send out Monokuma's at Silva's house in the past.Yup! Its a thing~! XDI'm still in Birthright about 2/3 of the way through (
still reeling after having to fight my husbando from another life, so I'm taking a break by tackling the child paralogues and getting my team exp; they're actually harder than I expected at this level...). Hopefully I can get to Revelations soon so I can get something out of having it early(and absolve the pain the other routes forced on me).I took my time a little to get used to the new controls and appreciate the sharper, cleaner graphics, so I got to right before the Forest Temple before we headed out for dinner. Its nice so far, but i still think the Windwaker HD is more impressive. -
Senpai I'm going to beat you up for lying to me ;~;
:<
I fell asleep. Sorry.>_<

Draygon as in Super Metroid Draygon? If so, no it isn't. I'm curious as to why you'd think he's my favorite boss though.
Hi Silva
How was your birthday day?Hey, how was your day?
Yep.
I'm watching a SM speedrun, and the runner botched on Draygon, and it made me think of you.
EDIT: Also the question was slightly sarcastic because Draygon is lol
and how goes the catching up?
how was your special day?
Birthday was awesome today! Woke up to a nice breakfast made by my mum and my brother and I were simultaneously playing Fates and eating, trading stories and info on our progress in the game (and trying to explain to my mum just what we were talking about), then I got to open my gift when my sister got back from work; my mum got me Twilight Princess HD with the Wolf Link Amiibo, so I played that for several hours until we all went out to eat Japanese food as tradition.
I'm sooo stuffed; I really shouldn't have eaten that much. XDSo yeah, good day to be turning 23~!

Hallo
(

Senpai check your pm
And happy birthday
Will do.
Thank you Kohai~!

The map would be more manageable if you could save

Map B3 is "No Justice" (and I agree both it and Dusk Falls are great, though I really like most of the other map themes as well. And I don't know which theme between 'You of the Dark' and 'You of the Light' I like more.
Welcome to the 23 year clubMy problem is that Xander lacks in magical bulk and is easily doubled due to low speed despite Charlotte support. Meanwhile, Camilla had low HP and poor speed, though that is probably fixed since I completed her support with Keaton. And my main problem with having everyone blitzing through is the Hexing rod. Enemies hit hard enough without having to deal with a 20HP Xander or Corrin. I have a silence rod, but that leaves Elise wide open when I'd prefer for her to be safely paired up. And I figured out that the second Takumi would die since he's a replica, which share HP with the main one. Though both times I arrived at him after losing units, he procced vengeance and both times and one shotted Corrin.
My iPod is at its limits, both in terms of how much memory I have left on it and how little the battery lasts, but iPod doesn't make anything with more than 16 gig that isn't a 500$ iPod Touch, which I don't need.Me too, I initially only really liked Compatriot of Darkness, but after hearing enough of Brotherhood of Light, I grew to like it as well (gives me just the amount of chills and excitement i need to write a scene I've been imagining for my fic for a while).
My Xander was near impenetrable in defense and I don't know if he was res blessed but he'd shrug off most magic with a bit of timely healing
(I paired Xander with Peri, so its totally doable even without Charlotte). Keaton definitely helps her offensively and defensively, to the point I wasn't sure if I wanted them to dual strike or pair up. I don't remember having too many problems with the hex rod; my usual answer to that is to just let Elise soak up the staff uses since her res is so high it almost always misses and she wouldn't really mind getting hit with it since she shouldn't be getting attacked to begin with. I tanked the sides while picking my way down, so it all comes to proper planning and anticpating what your going to be hit with before each turn. The skills are also a pain though. Vengeance Critkumi is not fun.Meanwhile my Leo is sitting at a sad 24 in SPD, meaning he's the one that gets doubled.
Cap is 26, which my
baeLeo comfortably met, and with a tonic plus a few supports he'll be a god of magic and death.I'm so in love~ >///< -
damn i got owned
(๑꒪▿꒪)*
U feel me
I feel u
How do u fill a void? ;o;
I'm not sure sadly, beyond finding something as similar/even better to fill it with. Its why I don't watch void traps like Clannad and AnoHana. I'd never know how to get out.True, I could be doing much worse to myself, lol.
23 was probably my favorite age to be. I blame it also being my golden birthday. And I'm sure you don't look as bad as you try to sandbag yourself.
That is so nice to hear. I didn't want it to be another case of it giving someone stinging feeling about being mostly criticism, and the only praise was just at a general level instead of pointing out specifics for that end of the commentary as well. Like I told you in PM, I think, my box is always open if you want to dump off some fiction for review.
Don't ever be like me and break out the ice cream on especially boring or depressing nights.I honestly don't feel any different (though I've been saying the same thing since I joined this forum at age 19, so maybe that's the point of this stage in life?).
When you go to get a haircut and they think you're 15, it makes you wonder. They also thought I was 12 when I turned 18 that very day.Constructive Criticism is good criticism. I can understand how it might sting to get all your mistakes thrown at you, but its necessary for growth, and i like to think that I've grown up enough as a person to be more enthusiastic and receptive to helpful feedback rather than tunnel vision only on the negative feelings that criticism in general brings. What doesn't bring you down makes you stronger, I would think. I hope they can learn to see that too. And thank you for the offer, I'll definitely remember for future projects
(especially for next SF Scribbles or even for that Fates fic I'm burning to write).I actually liked chapter 20. Once I figured out how the wind thing worked, it was pretty fun and Fuga wasn't a problem (I one-rounded him). Chapter 10 kept me on my toes, but once I got a strategy going, it worked fine. Even Chapter 26, which I thought was pretty BS at the start, ended up being one of the high point of the game for me when the 'ah ha!' moment struck and figured out how to deal with the waves of generals and berserkers.
Despite being in the know about the Takumi Dragon vein BS for Ch 10, I still beat it on the first go, though I was scrambling a bit at the end when ALL the units decided to ignore their predictable "attack the player" AI and rush past me to get past the line. OnePunchCamilla is the only thing that managed to catch the pegasus knights and win the day. Ch 20 I also beat on the first try because turtling and proper managing/pre-empting all the dragon vein wind tunnels without screwing myself over. Might've been luck. The only other chapter I had problems with besides ninja hell was Ch 11, mostly because I was lazy the first several attempts and didn't check for skills.
Awakening made me soft.oh, silva shares her birthday with my sister
Oh, please tell her happy birthday from a fellow 3/6-er~! -
Have a terrific birthday today, Silva
it's honestly one of my favorite tracks in this game
and the only one i can actually remember through because sometimes the tracks got too repetetiveheeheeThanks! :)
My fave Battle track is a tie between Dusk Falls and the third Nohr theme (Map B3, can't remember the eng name). And the first (non prologue) Revelation map theme is great too, especially the calm version.
For a couple of months at least>v>Chapter 27 (Slime Monster) is easy. It's the meme generating endgame that's giving me trouble. I clear everything by turn 4 except the paired-up paladins, the hexing rod guy and the boss, but then get swarmed by said paladins and the faceless and end up having Elise, Felicia and Azura dying due to their terrible bulk.
I haven't played Okami, but I heard The Sun Rises and I liked it enough to put in on my iPod.
Welp, for now were equal in seniority. >:PDem memes. All the memes. That chapter seriously had me screaming at my 3DS #BlameTakumi and #TakumiDidNothingWrong at the same time and different parts. I don't remember it perfectly now (I finished it in one go), but I remember having several close calls. I had most of my heavy hitters gung ho their way through the map (XanderTheTankBro, OnePunchCamilla, Keaton:Camilla'sPetDog, BookBro
BaeLeo, and DragonLadyCorrin, along with my glass cannonsand beautiful sonsForrest and Kana). I had Jakob, Felicia, and Flora as staff bots and Azura for support. Elise is awesome in that her magic was so through the roof that she could heal well and attack splendidly, while being a reliable dodger (though I had a heartattack or two with the edgy hitrates in this game). Everyone else is pair up fodder for their spouse, since dual guarding against waves of nasties seemed to be the priority. Then when you get to the edge of the all powerful meme barrier, rush Takumi with all of the awesome people (Camilla excluded sadly because no Iote's Shield) and OnePunch him to submission (you don't have to fight his dual clone, it vanishes when you defeat the "real" Takumi, destroyer of memes.I really should invest in a music device instead of always streaming my music off Youtube. -
I've been OKAY! Super relieved from finishing a long time art project ^__^
B-but now I don't have anything to colour or edit when I'm super bored ;u;
Nice, but yeah, I have similar issues when finishing a book or game....what do I do with that time? DXSilver, in case you didn't know, this was about you so...
Happy birthday
again, my friend. *Party poppers and mild confetti go here*Oh, lol, I actually thought you meant someone else.... *flies over head spectacularly*Sankyu!
I love poppers and I go nuts for confetti! Fun to keep throwing~!8DMEEEEEERRY BURFDAY SILVA ( ´▽` )*✲ﾟ*
THNAK YOU~! ^_^

Good late evening Silva
And Happy Birthday!
I tend to take my time in FE maps unless it requires me to rush through it, so I had no problem with chapter 24.
The only chapter I really had problems with in Conquest is the Endgame. Screw the Endgame.I liked this song ever since I heard it in one of the trailers, and I like it even more after hearing it in-game.
Hallo Luux~! :D
Thank you!
Now were even again!XDLol, which part of the endgame?
Slime monster or the birth of the memes?I like the song too. Love the obvious Okami throwbacks to "The Sun Rises".
Kinda wish it plays on maps other than Birthright...Revelations perhaps? -
Well, this fellow is decent this evening, I hope you're doing well.
I'm waiting for a friend's birthday, so I can metaphorically shout happy birthday to them.
Hallo! That's wonderful. Its always nice to be decent in the moment!
Bad/Horrible support conversations!
in Fire Emblem Fates
Posted
Jakob/Mozu and Jakob/Azura are indeed very nice.
Camilla/Keaton is, sadly, not as great as I'd hoped, but there are worse imo. And at least the S Support opened on these memorable lines:
Keaton: I think you need a strong man.
Camilla: ...You have ten seconds from the end of this sentence to reconsider that remark.
