Is it actually? O.O If so I'm sorry, I've never heard it used in a derogatory form, and only meant to use it as a shorten form of the word.

It's a pretty popular derogatory term used in certain SEA countries when talking about Japanese people. Especially popular among the younger folks within informal settings.

Go look up American media during World War 2. Proper way to shorten it is JP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany81707 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 On a less depressing note, is there anyone fluent enough to tell me when the date rollover is on the fortune-telling? I know CYL was sometime around 3ish, maybe (I'm in GMT +8, so I think that's 7AM at GMT+0), so would this be around the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure Japan time is GMT +9 (which, ironically, means that Japanese time is much more convenient for me than American/European), so that'll be around 11. I think that's 11AM... sorry, I'm not too good at remembering whether noon or midnight is 12PM. I'm fairly sure it's the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just want to roll like crazy, click the bottom button. Then, click the red orb, followed by the button at the bottom. If you want to reroll, click the button on the left. I clicked the button on the left a lot. Kept getting bad luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPN just feels more appropriate as we seem to abbreviate most, if not all, nations to three letters. So basically just link my account. The luck doesn't do anything, right?

I'm starting to think Ryoma's too mainstream already. Good thing I have Reindhart and my 5* Neutral Eliwood that's been doing much better than I expected. :) I like being anti-meta, at least in some way. It just makes me feel like I can prove something to those whales who only want meta heroes and winning against whales as an F2P is always a pleasure. :P Edited April 28, 2017 by Lyrai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes Australia 'AU', which is taken by another fandom term, and Europe 'EU', which I think may or may not refer to something related but not identical. Also, I'm using Lilina too.

Skala_Bundet Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I have to agree that not providing certain tweets to the whole player base is not the best business model... but alas. Being patient and waiting is always an approach . Otherwise, if people really care, they can provide feedback and ask (civilly please ) if there couldn't be more tweets and similar for other languages/regions except for Japan (the young people's Internet culture wants polls and tweets (and other things they can be internet trolls about )). Anyway, it's nice to see new content (also smaller things like the arena changes) constantly being added in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedEyedDrake Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 So Ryoma is the only unit in the pool of red units that has a "supreme luck" category to him, right? Just want to confirm whether this is the case or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur97 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Luckily for my wallet, I can live without these focus characters (even if I would really like a Hector). Gotta start hoarding my orbs again after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When talking about gaming regions, I believe JP (Japan), NA (North America), EU (Europe), AUS (Australia), and SEA (Southeast Asia) are pretty standard (all caps for all of them). Of those, JP is the only one that refers to a single country and can be also be used to refer to a language, which is what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
