Thor Odinson Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Someone more well-versed with Japanese culture please correct me if I'm wrong (I don't want to spread misconceptions) but from my knowledge, I believe it's more of a cultural thing than anything else. Shared hotspring type bathhouses are very prevalent in Japanese media, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JupiterKnight Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) If I recall right if you enter the bath while your husband/wife is in there the two of you stay in there together. Edited November 3, 2015 by JupiterKnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) given how often people walk into the wrong gender bath time, those knives sure are necessary Annoying anime trope is annoying. Anyway, I liked the Felicia-Belka comic. It was very cute and actually made me chuckle. EDIT: I am getting gimmicky character vibes from these comic strips, though. Are most of the units in this game this one-sided, or are they not as bad as Awakening's cast? Edited November 3, 2015 by Leif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time the Crestfallen Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 In my opinion, the characters have a lot more depth than you'd expect from initial impressions. They might seem to play annoying anime tropes straight, but if you read their supports they're much better and well-rounded characters than the ones in Awakening (the fact that you have to read supports for any of this is another problem, but I digress...).

NekoKnight Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 The whole shared-bath thing seems a little strange to me. Maybe maintenance or something might be a problem, but when you can create buildings out of nothing, I don't see why you can't have separate baths. Someone more well-versed with Japanese culture please correct me if I'm wrong (I don't want to spread misconceptions) but from my knowledge, I believe it's more of a cultural thing than anything else. Shared hotspring type bathhouses are very prevalent in Japanese media, at least. For practical, day to day bathing purposes, people would (at least in the modern day) have private baths. Going to a public bath is a social outing and/or special place to relax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Mage Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 But are they said to be public baths in the game? I thought they were hot springs. And, if I'm not wrong, hot springs baths in Japan are usually in groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 There are sentou (public baths) and onsen (hot springs) in Japan, but functionally they are practically the same. You soap up, rinse off, and relax in some hot water. Fates uses the word 'onsen' specifically but I don't think it makes a difference.

The DanMan Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 A little late, but anything where Luna isn't a tsundere is a win in my book. And the Belka/Felicia comic is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frelia Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) The Luna and Belka/Felicia comics are pretty good. Poor Felicia though. Edited November 3, 2015 by Frelia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinehollow Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Tsukuyomi doesn't like being called short,huh? I hope he does an Edward Elric style freak out if someone calls him small.Or a half-pint beansprout midget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landmaster Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Tsukuyomi's first one reminded me of one of Ricken's Supports with Robin~ I liked both of his comics~ XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyainou Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Nice call back to Ricken's Robin support. I like how it shows the differences between Tsukuyomi and Ricken, or at least their settings. Its good to see he's not just a boring carbon copy, ya know? I actually really worried about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meiyu Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 yay finally it's Tsukuyomi's turn. It also surprises me that I actually find Felicia funny in every comic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturnal YL Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) I don't like Tsukuyomi thus far (if you don't want to be treated like a child, stop acting like one and at least eat your veggies!), and I was wondering if these comics will make me like him better. I was not disappointed. Spells can be constructed just like that!? Feels like a mix of programming and engineering to me. I've always wondered how magic works in Fire Emblem, especially since the previous games had durability. I thought they were spending the actual writing materials if they can't just memorize the contents and cast the spells freely, and Jugdral calling the used books empty tomes seems to support this.

JupiterKnight Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 If I recall right she's like that on the battlefield, unlike Pieri who slaughters the enemy and the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Mage Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Those comics make me wonder about the relationship between Mikoto and Yuugiri. Mikoto didn't seem like the type that would have a murdeous woman as a bodyguard, but then again, that ruthlessness is probably needed to be the queen's bodyguard. Who knows what sort of craziness you run in this job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyvern_Lord Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) This comic really undersells her hard-on for killing dudes "The moment when my naginata pierces the enemy’s skull is my favorite." "If I could become a dragon like you, Kamui, I would have killed many more people." "the person who did this had their throat ripped out in turn."

CocoaGalaxy Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 The Yuugiri ones are pretty interesting though, maybe it's the art style..I find it somewhat uh...refreshing, though not necessarily in a refreshing manner, just .....new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
