On that note, why Gilbert, for example, has no facial hair at all is beyond me, honestly. xD Gilbert's design feels weird. His face just screams "I need a beard and then I'll look good" but then he just... kinda doesn't, because modern FE despises facial hair for some undiscernible reason, so he's extremely ugly instead. I mean, heck, take a look at this fanmade design I just found on Google: He looks so much better, it's not even funny. Meh...

Codename Shrimp Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Seteth is one of the main reasons i can't agree with Edelgard, and pretty much proves her hypocrisy. Speaking about beards, i read somewhere that japan doesn't like facial hair much or something. Dunno if true tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! 4 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Jkjk, i just don't like beards much myself and before Corona tended to shave asap And I'd consider myself somewhere in the middle. I think there are certain 'face types' that fit beards, and then there are those which don't. My own face is one of those. Not that I could ever grow a good-looking beard in the first place. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if true tho I've seen this too. It certainly lines up with most Japan-based media I've seen. Just another reason Berwick Saga is the best game ever: They let Ward have a proper Endgame Ready Beard despite him being a main character. ...You know, I don't think Japan'd like Banner Saga very much. There's exactly three males in Banner Saga with no facial hair at all, and one of them grows a proper beard as the trilogy progresses. It's great. No, it's not the only reason I like the trilogy so much... though it is one. 3 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: That does look a LOT better. It fits really, really well.

The guy gets an actual development arc outside of supports, I really liked that, and his reactions to Flayn's kidnapping made me feel for the guy. Great stuff. Plus, he has a good design. If only he had more of a beard than that... disgraceful chin moss. Eugh. This has been your Ruben Talks About Three Houses Without His Eyes Going Red post of the month. Cherish it. And where you still hates soul patches. Even if he somehow doesn't look like a dickbag with one. (Also, yeah, imo the seeming cultural association with beards and factors like: age, uncouthness and a seeming dislike for the uncleanliness that they also get associated with does affect their not being in media as much. Yes, I know that there are people throughout history with beards big and shit, but in an era where shaving is arguably easier it contributes. Japan in particular seems to have a disinterest in beards and with the arguments of beards being not clean it's highly unsurprising that beards are cut out of the picture) 15 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Gilbert's design feels weird.

Benice Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I genuinely think that this fight is one of the biggest reasons they remastered Judgement just two years after the release.

That's Guan Yu, a military general from China's Three Kingdoms period. The description of his 'peerless beard' in one record (as well as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel placing great emphasis on it) led to him having that in pretty much all of his depictions in modern media (except the ones where they made him a girl and yes, that is a thing, and I don't know why). ... And on the subject of Guan Yu and Dynasty Warriors... here's the music post for the day! Shu isn't my favorite faction, but their theme song is one of the best.

On the one hand I should have planned before trying to use it, so I was dumb and probably pissed at least someone off. On the other hand it's closed now and the appliance it was attached to to keep it closed is free to be removed, so there's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, who thought of that?🤔 I did read of one person found the game ho-hum, but then found themselves lost in a Wikipedia rabbit hole reading about the various warships, and were left wondering what the girls in the game looked nothing like the vessels they claimed to represent. So somebody learned some military history, that's a positive. Now if they decided to add historical wooden warships to the game, the girl who is the Swedish Vasa should have one of the largest "upper decks" in the game. The historical Vasa was a powerful state-of-the-art galleon ghat symbolized Swedish ambitions ...and sank shortly into its maiden voyage, from a perfectly ordinary gust of wind. The Vasa was so top-heavy, and thus imbalanced, that it took next to nothing to make it capsize. Now salvaged from the bottom of the Baltic, it is a popular tourist attraction, and historical evidence that wasteful government spending isn't something new. 7 minutes ago, twilitfalchion said: -------- This is the second track from Bug Fables you've tossed on here recently, have you actually played it?
