I don't know about you folks but I always feel slightly uncomfortable when a video game says my real name, especially to refer to a character that definitely isn't me. I never have used my IRL name in game. Either I stick to the default if available, or I blur together a composite name made from other games I've played, or, I resort to the one name I've used for years, but have no idea how I came to know or like. 7 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: And here I am still waiting for FE to use my name... I on the other hand it don't like it when I see my name being used on fictional characters. I know it to be 100% irrational, but ever since I was little, I've always felt like they "stole" it.😑 17 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: Thats why you use a name that already exists in-game, so when they say its funny sounding, they are speaking about themselves as well! I recall the time I read of someone who did this with FFVI. Renamed the entire ensemble cast "Kefka". A quirk of the days without voice acting.

Acacia Sgt Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 7 hours ago, Edelguardiansing said: The only Pokemon professor in the entire of Unova. Is it the same with other professors? Like do they get a single math professor per region or a single history professor and there's literally no one else furthering that academic study throughout the entire region. Hahaha, no, that's just for Pokémon Professors. Granted, it's not like we see that many schools either, but that falls under Law of Conservation of Detail. When we see a school it also tends to be a Pokémon School for up and coming trainers or so. 7 hours ago, Edelguardiansing said: Strikes me as far too generic compared to the female design, especially since he doesn't look that different from what the male trainers look like in the other games. I guess. Still, I'm fine with it myself. 7 hours ago, Edelguardiansing said: Actually no I came up with the idea of naming it Edelgard after I chose it, I just prefer how Snivy's line looks. Ah, I see. It's just that, well, I couldn't help but find it ironic you'd choose the Snivy line. 7 hours ago, Edelguardiansing said: Oooh, what game was that? Best I know, games that do that are the Mother/Earthbound ones. If there's others, then I can't recall. 4 hours ago, Punished Dayni said: So wait, I was, but am not anymore?

Interdimensional Observer Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Expected of the franchise, yet still kinda disappointing that RF5 didn't have a competitive mini-game to kick off the arrival of summer. Seeing the marriage candidates in their swimsuits isn't so thrilling when you can just invite them to your house and change them into it there. And in my gayse, walking into the baths at the right times already let me see everyone I'd be interested in in their swimwear. (Compared to ye olde Runie Factorie, the characters are much more hygienic I've notice. IIRC for Frontier and ToD (IDK 1-3) all characters who use the baths use them just once a week at a specific hour of that day. RF5 is more like daily bathing with the specific time of each weekday possibly varying from each other. Although this only applies to the bachelor/ettes and the two kids, the non-romanceable adults never bathe it seems.) So, I spent the ingame day fishing on the beach instead, catching my first compact crustacean. Not like I could've hopped into a dungeon to progress the story, as I had finished on the last day of spring the dungeon that concluded what the game ex post facto referred to as "Chapter 1". The last bachelorette candidate oddly hasn't show up yet, though I think I might take a two or three days' break from RF5 at this convenient break point, as it's all I've been playing since I downloaded it. 2 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Ah, just one week for Engage. If Engage is why Nintendo hasn't released a Direct for the coming year yet, then could it have released yesterday? I have a long list of games I need to finish or haven't even touched, and I dislike hype. Nonetheless, the mid/long-term forecasts for new Switch games is rather thin right now, and I impatiently want to see that corrected.😆 Amuse me with new announcements, entertain me with more details of what is presently known.😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are all possible times in the baths covered? Is there no hint they have their own and the public baths are implied to be for the youth? Is there a reason we're seeing the kids?

Ruben's funny because it seems to be pretty rare elsewhere in the wordl, but here in Spain it's super common. Everywhere I go there's always two or three other Rubens. I've also seen a multitude of other Rubens sharing my first surname. Though my second surname is a lot rarer. Speaking of that... I always thought it was pretty stupid that more countries don't use two surnames. One surname makes it VERY easy for "John Smith" situations to occur. Two surnames lowers the chances of it significantly. Be like Spain, people. Embrace two surnames. 5 minutes ago, Punished Dayni said: FIFY That doesn't even work. In Spain it wouldn't, at least. I dunno about Mexico, but in Spain Js are pronounced very heavily. It's not a soft G recolor like in English, which is why the change from George to Jeorge always made me mentally retch a bit.
