  1. >Finn on TT

    >Canas limited as well.

    Sure IS, don't take my money.

  2. Adrift appears

    IS: Hey fans, we've got a new banner here set in Valla-

    Angry Fans: THE SALT MUST FLOW!

  3. And another thing, where was I at in playthroughs?

    SDatBoL, MotE II..... and nothing else left.

    Add the routes from 3H to bring it to 22 routes..... that's 20/22.

    Or if we talk just full titles 14/16

    Hadn't done this in ages, thought of it now.

  4. Didn't mention it but I finally tried Apotheoisis. Managed to unlock the secret route first try, decided I wasn't on the crazy juice yet and after a few tries got the normal route, which I cleared deathless up to the last wave.

    Still cleared, got Katarina finally and may someday finally try the secret route.

  5. Finally finished 3H with SS now. That fight was.... well, it could have been worse once I actually got to fighting Rhea and at least it wasn't as tedious as CF Also, there was some painful lag early on (I said it, you happy?). So final map is VW > SS > CF > AM.

    I'm thankful to be done, even if I'll have to deal with CS someday and try to see if I can actually beat Maddening beyond C1. This route had me questioning the light touch handling of the objective big plan villains more than I had before. For now, I'm just happy I can move on to other things.

    In the medium term? I've hinted at it and now I think I can really start prepping a big piece on the game of what I'd consider a personal rewrite of the routes to make them more distinct and try and throw some other ideas with it. I don't promise everyone will love it and any commentary could make me see something I missed so when I have something up go ahead. Despite that, no I absolutely don't hate this game's story. But you can tell a lot of its issues are tied to time and budget, it got delayed twice for at least 7 months it doesn't surprise me.

    As for the Rhea support, MY WORD I REGRET PRESSING IT.

  6. Finally finished Fates story DLC (get round to the class ones eventually). Think I'll be good with Fates for a bit now. Might discuss the game at last and my thoughts (though I wonder where)

    HoF for best story? Maybe. 

  7. Okay, so I've been playing 3 Houses like mad since Mid-January.

    Finished VW and Part 1 of CF so far, have got playthroughs for the other routes ready.

    Would like to ask if there's a big bunch of information relating to NG+ (I'm not using it for a first playthrough for any route though).

  8. Revelations wrapped up! 13/18 done (Have to uptick with SoV incoming)

    Also, wow that ending sequence.

    1. Punished Dayni

      Punished Dayni

      Also, will get round to DLC.... eventually. Revelations is far slower than expected.

  9. So, forgot to count SoV for the campaigns played through.

    So, there's DDatBoL, MotE Book 2, PoR and RD left. 14/18 done.

  10. So, having finally played to completion Reunion at Dawn in maddening, I have only this to say.

    Fuck Reunion at Dawn.

    It is the worst kind of difficult map and once you've dealt with the first 5 turns it evaporates so long as you've been able to have a sufficient amount of stuff to work with. It's challenging, but absolutely unfun in that. Your cast can be all over the place in terms of relevance and playing blind would be awful. If most of them are dead and Byleth and the lord aren't supremely OP you're fucked.

    Fuck Reunion at Dawn.

    1. Saint Rubenio

      Saint Rubenio

      Can I just say "I told you so"?

      I won't stop you.

      At least unlike you I finished it. 😛

      It also turns out if you recruit Ferdinand he comes straight back after Chapter 13 instead of waiting three months to do so. So that was nice.

  11. So, how about the end of CF huh? I was concerned I wouldn't make it at first, but after retrying 17 once (That gimmick caused me to flip the first time I saw it, but the second time I just outpaced the entire north of the map) 18 proved to not be as bad as I expected. 

    I somehow feel like I have more to ask about after that ending than for VW (where I had one question), but all that can wait because there's still AM and SS left.

    Also this credit music's making me think of pokemon, feels similar.

    So yeah, 2 routes left, to be precise their part 2s.

  12. So, I was playing for the last few days and just finished SoV Blitzkreig.

    Even if it was Normal/Casual, NEVER AGAIN. It was frustrating enough as is without not knowing how far off I was from doing it. Never mind the amount of times nearly everyone died. Though I can say pretty much everyone major died to crits, so that was fun.

    Next time I do anything approaching an LTC, might as well draft me up because I am willing to sacrifice everything after trying to use everyone, never again.

  13. So, just writing this status update because I noticed I apparently have 4200 posts.

    Just.... just wanted to have something to notice it with before I go past it.

    (It's like blaze it... but a decade of it, man /s)

  14. Three houses has issues.

    There are things that can be complained about across the board.

    But there is nothing as bad in it as the fishing. The fishing is the worst thing about the game, no question. There's no good in how it's designed, the gameplay is an awful minigame and the sheer RNG involved is a massive fuck you to the player. It absolutely should be redesigned from the ground up.

      For clarification, if 5% seems more like 0%, DO NOT FUCKING MAKE RNG WITH 5% RATES LIKE THIS

  15. Three Houses update, finished Part 1 on all routes. I have to say it's giving me a lot of material to consider and what I feel should be improvements. I already have an idea of a long essay on Three Houses.

    Also, fuck Reunion at Dawn. Just, fuck everything about it. I'll expand on it if people want, but know it's managing to anger me more than Nuibaba, even if it's the principle of the thing that's the cause of my anger instead of being an utter BS map.

  16. TIL holding B speeds through cutscenes in 3H.

    WHY ISN'T THAT ADVERTISED? IT HELPS WITH THE DAMM PARALOGUE SCENES SO MUCH.

  17. Well, it's been 9 months.

    I can finally say I've had my fill of 3H.

    Not because I found something more bullshit than Reunion at Dawn. I definitely did not. Just got to the end of my Maddening run and I feel like I've had my time. Raphael got MVP for the finale, because QR and Knuckles are fair, turns out the Linhart ending wasn't as bad as I necessarily expected (Certainly I don't feel like throwing up at the CG this time, so that's good)

    I'll probably post in the maddening thread with pics.

    I'm happy to be done.

  18. ...And of course SoV is leaking everywhere. Goodbye SoV subsection.

  19. Thracia Ballista were imported into Elyos, that explains this paralogue.

    1. Punished Dayni

      Punished Dayni

      The only way to outcheese Thracia: Fates Cheese.

      (Specifically Qi Adept's Ice Wall to block Leif from pretty much anyone at risk of getting Quad hit while I cleared the NE part of the map with three units, which was everyone not named Goldmary or Diamant I guess)

  20. Admittedly been busy enough the last while, so not much to say on here.

    But decided to pop on Mario + Rabbids to try and make progress. Got past the last map that bothered me a lot cleaner, then did another map similarly, then I got to the next map.

    Spoiler

    Nobody fucking warned me there'd be Rabbid Wario and Waluigi. Sorry, Bwario and Bwaluigi. Blech.

    Noped out of it after seeing that, partly due to that but also the realisation there's likely a sorta boss like structure to the rest of the maps and I am not up for that at the moment.

    (They didn't even get the proportions right, smhsmh)

      >They keep charging ahead when it'd be easier if they didn't move at all.

      >They keep dying and the one time I managed to get the generics dead enough for them to be docile I lose someone to the boss.

      >Losing nobody is a sub objective in this fucking map.

      I think I'm quitting Stella Glow because of green units. FE never managed that.

    3. Punished Dayni

      Punished Dayni

      First Stella Glow ticks me off because skeeviness and green units, now I manage to force myself to lose progress in another game because it trapped me in a puzzle I had already cleared. It wouldn't let me reactivate the door opener, so when it closed behind me, I was stuck.

      Oh, just to add a few more points, Spirit of the North is a game I do not recommend on Switch for a second graphically, because it is a shame the game looks like it does. People seemed to talk pretty positively about it's graphics, visual style taking inspiration from Iceland and music, but I don't think the latter matters much thus far and the former two are not something the Switch version does well at all.

    4. Punished Dayni

      Punished Dayni

      .....

      Well, I know I've had issues with Spirit of the North, but right when it's about to go into it's last act after several minutes of having to crawl in game because that was needed for narrative reasons, the game crashes out.

      This game is not worth it on Switch.

  21. Beat Engage by the way.

    Spoiler

    I took 2 and a half hours on the last chapter, the only one over 2 hours long, with the the only real stumbling block being on the first turn because units kept dying. Got all the convos, finished with Bond Blast, all that jazz. Shame I used all the royals, I could have kept them all out and still had a full team. Yeah, I had a problem before and it didn't go away.

    I ended up on 90 hours total.... which makes sense when you use a bunch of units, take time looking at supports, wandering the somniel and doing a fair amount of activities. For example the preps for the endgame took 2 hours and used 60,000 bond fragments to get all the emblem arenaing done. Ended up using the pact ring after all, I'm assuming being able to pick a bunch of female units means what I think it means, but I used it on Seadall, because he was the first unit I got to A rank and the only one before that endgame rush to get supports using rocks.

    I think I'll have a lot to write up before giving any serious talk on it and it'll be a while before I go back to Engage, that took a fair amount.

  22. Chapter 20.

    Spoiler

    So, you know how Griss says he'll fuck off and teleport in random places?

    I wasn't expecting him to teleport into the bottom right corner and charge right at my army. He hear one-shots Zelkov.

    Then fucks right off.

    This didn't happen last time.

    Yo what the fuck, that's hilarious.

  23. Conquest conquered! 12/17 campaigns down, #BlameTakumi

  24. FE3 Book 1 done now. 10.5/16? 11/17? Either one works
