I think Candace might unironically be good, actually. As a natural bow user, anyway! If you want her, you need to use Orochi. Thankfully, she does not suck at hitting things, usually (unlike Niles), so capturing with her should not be too hard to do. So long as she is well-leveled, of course.

Lightcosmo Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Behold my team of cute and deadly chocobos! XD Oh, and my 100% completion rate: I never actually showed off the finale of my FF XIII-2 playthrough so there it is. Never fully finished leveling up monsters but oh well.

See, all that comes to me is Pyrrhon from Kid Icarus Uprising This dude's great. If you can't tell by the artwork, he's one of those JUSTICE characters and he's hilarious. And then, because Uprising's English voice acting is super top-tier, his voice actor also voices another character in the game, Arlon You would not know these two are voiced by the same guy because they sound completely differently. Uprising shill moment. 3 hours ago, DragonFlames said: And then the "Sakura Five" that spawned from AI Sakura in Fate Extra CCC (although only three of them actually appear in the game): Does this count as false advertising? 3 hours ago, DragonFlames said: Passionlip (don't look this up) This is just the poor man's Hsien-Ko It's like the same kind of character type. They even have purple hair. 3 hours ago, DragonFlames said: Meltryllis (don't look this up, either) Aside from one questionable design choice, i expected worse when you said not to look her up. But man, these characters can really pass for Sophia Fire Emblem huh. I see what you mean about sometimes getting them confused when you see fan-art. 2 hours ago, DragonFlames said: The emotional weight, characters, and backstory behind it is what makes a fight scene amazing, not how flashy it is or how big the collateral damage is, or how large the explosions, or how powerful the combatants involved are. It's what the fight means to every party involved that makes it great and memorable. Me, the Kaiju fan Nah but jokes aside, those things are important yeah. I can excuse it in Kaiju movies because these movies are rarely known for their writing but in something else, the other stuff should matter.

Saint Rubenio Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) I always forget Fates has weird RNG until Ryoma dodges garbage man's 70%s for like 5 turns. It happens every time. 14 minutes ago, Sooks said: Give the second one the eyes and scar of the first one. Well, I already started, but... Yeah, good call. I can do the breach of fate trick and say that he got the scar when he ran into a tree branch while running from Xander and Camilla. He is clumsy, after all. 14 minutes ago, Sooks said: Knight, huh… I was pondering between making him a knight, or making him something else and then nabbing a generic knight. I find the generic knight portrait to be hilarious, he looks 80 years old. Quote what does clumsy do again? Bad skill. 14 minutes ago, Sooks said: Don’t let that fool you, she’s still garbage.

Saint Rubenio Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Oh my God what is chapter 5 in lunatic? Everyone is useless except for Fishtail, and Fishtail gets obliterated by the wyrmslayers, so I can't just solo the map with him. Jesus Christ, I can't beat this map, how bad am I? Oh wait, Rinkah does 4 more damage when she's wounded. Yeah, probably woulda been wise to read the skills, eh...

Saint Rubenio Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Holy shit, Ryoma killed Garbage man. Wow. Okay, so apparently the strategy is to given Fishtail the HP tonic (I would've never used it anyway), then get supremely lucky with Ryoma so he kills the boss and then goes after the enemies and takes out a mage or two for you. Oh, and sacrifice someone to pull them closer. There might be one spot where the HP tonic might've allowed Fishtail to just baaaaaaarely survive, but... honestly, I can't be bothered. They'll all come back in chapter 6 anyway. Who cares. Just now, WraithReborn said: Can you feel it Saint Rubenio? Your sanity being destroyed, eaten away by your own hubris?

Saint Rubenio Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 And there we go. Almost the entire team still died, but Ryoma's survival allowed him to kill half the mages, ensuring Azura made it. What a shitshow that was. But who cares, they all came back next map with their stats and all. When you know that happens, it becomes a lot harder to care about what happens in these early maps. However, Fishtail never recovered from the traumatic experience of watching everybody around him get torn to pieces... He has transformed into Zyne the 8th. Glory to Hoshido!

Saint Rubenio Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I think the best part about this Hoshido run is that I get to wipe the condescending smirk off of Leo's ugly mug. ...Oh wait, that's right-- He lives. I know that he lives. Because fuck it, Fates has to be hilarious all the time. Still, gonna be good to beat the shit out of him, at least. He's going to be the real disgrace by the time I'm done with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rubenio Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I like how the easier route starts with a way harder chapter 6.

Fuck the faceless. Didn't look like it to me... I mean, they were a little sturdier, but beyond that, it was the same deal: Pair up Rinkah and Fishtail, then let them tank stuff while Kaze debuffs the odd faceless and Ryoma steals experience.

Saint Rubenio Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I had to reset 5 times. Fishtail got the same HP and magic level in each attempt, somehow. I am really worried about him. He's growing as horrendously as Kabbãge in my first run, and we know how that ended. ...Also, I'm not sure if I should've been so happy to watch these idiots die. I had a big smirk in my face and everything when Elise bit the dust. If nothing else, this is gonna be fun for that alone... 1 minute ago, Maof06 said: Just kill Xander, bro. Ryoma can't one-round him and nobody else can reach. Actually, as it turns out, the strat is the exact opposite of this. Ignore the blonde moron and instead have Ryoma obliterate Leo or the cavalier next to him. Then Takumi and Hinoka, neither of whom die to Xander, can handle the one left. That way, we are able to survive long enough for Xander to charge recklessly and put himself in a position where we can easily dispatch him.

Saint Rubenio Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH RINKAH COULD KILL CAMILLA BUT THEN I HEALED HER LIKE AN IDIOT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH Well, that's a reset. I mean, doesn't need to be, but I want her to get that kill. Can't say I'm too upset about losing Fishtail's 5th HP and magic level. Perhaps this time I can see if there's any way to stop him from getting it yet again... Last I checked, the RNG in this game doesn't work like that, it changes on each reset, so I don't understand how he got the same awful level 5 times in a row... Am I just that lucky?

On lunatic difficulty, resetting chapters doesn’t reset level ups. iirc all levels are predetermined from when you recruit said character.
