But still, they definitely make a point to emphasize that mercs get paid more than regular soldiers. Regular soldiers apparently get paid even less then Derrick.

If Colin were Mark, well first I sell everything and then use Gold Rush to increase my current Funds by 50%, I save my money and use Gold Rush again, and then I use the Silver Card to buy a lot of stuff for half price. And then I use Power of Money to OHKO the Fire Dragon with base Str Rebecca whilst still getting 30 Stars in Funds at the end.🤩🤑 24 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: Huh, I actually liked most of the cast, even if they are kinda in "stereotypes" per se. But I respect your views on it, we have different tastes after all! I like Flynn, he's just always portrayed as being in the wrong. I like Judith, she mostly cool, Karol and Rita are fine. Estelle is generic, like Natalia admittedly, but Estelle has Special Girl toss on top of it and is an extra wallop of cliche unfortunately. Raven is genuinely eh to me, and Love Shot is not really good enough as healing when the game denies me Estelle. Patty, she is cute, her fishy language is fine, but it grows repetitive over time because she doesn't have a whole lot else. And Repede is good, albeit I kinda wish he did have a mysterious backstory. 14 minutes ago, Armagon said: Wait......you lose rank points in FE7 is you use resources the game gives you? Funds is a rank. Funds is combination of liquid assets, your Gold total, and the total value of your solid assets, all your weapons and items. Therefore, the Funds rank cannot be cheesed by selling everything you don't use. Selling that extra Guiding Ring you don't intend for anyone to use is actually a bad thing. Because the Guiding Ring is worth 10k Gold, and you sell it for 5k, you lose 5k off the Funds rank by getting rid of it. Using an Angelic Robe on someone means kissing 7k down the drain. Every swing of weapon? You just used up money. Therefore, if you pay attention to the ranks in FE7, you will horde most of stat boosters, promote as few characters as possible, and limit use of rare and expensive weapons. The handful of Arenas in this game are great because they let you print new money and can help with the EXP rank too, just be careful not to spend too many turns there to avoid hurting Tactics.

The sad piano probably fits the situation, but when the only context for you is Dry Ass it's just... hysterical. Not gonna lie, I reacted similarly at first, but then I realized now I get to call him "Dry Ass" when he gives me bad advice, so it's not all bad. Sigh... At least they respected August.

Dryas is apparently the name of two phases of a specific natural historical ice age, which in turn are named after a genus of flowers, which in turn is named after the dryads, which are Greco-Roman tree nymphs. How about "Darius" instead? As in Darius the Great, the second great king of Achaemenid Empire of Persia (modern Iran). Although he was a man with no real claim to the throne, who had to invent an official story to hide his usurpation of the true heir. Not like he needed the lie, a monopoly over the use of military force overrides the need for a good story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armagon Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Yep, that sure is low framerate Polygon Pictures alright. In comparison to the Godzilla anime trilogy, this seems to have more life in it. But i can't see any promise in this. Pacific Rim should've been a standalone movie tbh.

Sidereal Wraith Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) So this is what Twilitfalchion wrote about me: “Your smile is like the radiance of the sun. The sound of your lovely voice rings as clearly and beautifully as song of a lark in springtime. The warmth of your touch is like the heat of a campfire crackling on the coldest of nights. Your beauty transcends both the natural and spiritual, and is something I adore beyond what words can express. You surpass anything mere words can convey, the standard to which all other objects of affection are compared.” I’m flattered that he has such feelings about me, even though I’m already taken. Although I will say that everything he wrote about me is 100% true. Edited February 5, 2021 by Wraith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
