Acacia Sgt Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Alright, Freak Sheet defeated. I read u that the remake added a i e serving as a shortcut between the stee le and the town. I remember that one of the biggest com lains from eo le about Chapter 4 was all the back and forth through Twilight Trail. Though the shortcut isn't unlocked until a fair bit, it's certainly still convenient as it avoids the last two tri s. Now, ho efully I don't find another Amayzee Dayzee as I backtrack, hahaha.

I see that "co" usually gets translated as "ko" here "Mexiko, Kolumbien" and also on that note, does the "ia" not exist either? I'm always fascinated by how languages spell different countries' names. Ireland in Spanish is "Iralandia" but Scotland is "Escosia" and this is how I found out Nova Scotia essentially means New Scotland.

The Monroe Doctrine specifically excluded anything that still belonged to Europe. The Doctrine was more that only the US was allowed to meddle with the affairs of recently independent Latin America. Even then, it was the British who actually enforced the Doctrine, since they wanted the now open markets, as Spain always blocked them off from them.

Interdimensional Observer Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Scenario 47- Spoiler A very short intro on this scenario. Akito and Erina at a lunar Nergal facility. With Ruri on the Nadesico C, Akito is sure they’ll win. Erina still can’t imagine that Akito would ever become so dark, he says it is what is and departs, the silent Lapis Lazuli girl showing up at the end. At the Martian ruins, the Martian Successors receive word of their forces’ mass-surrender, inconceivable! Tessa relays that Lacus’s songs of peace and Yurika’s feedback have subtly influenced the Boson-Jumping Successors, making them more amenable to making peace. The captive conscious ladies are feeling more confident about what’s about to happen now. Neue Warter then arrives via the Boson Jump. The Archangel and ReHOME can’t be fielded as they jump in at a different location and are fighting the Successors there. Kusakabe orders the Martian fortress to fire on them, and nothing happens, they’ve been disabled. A CG of Ruri shows up and Ms. Inez does her favorite thing for the first time in a long time and explains the Electron Fairy system that allows Ruri and Omoikane to engage in cutting edge cyber-warfare. Most of the Nadesico cast gets a word in before the final battle against the Martian Successors begins. …Although I don’t see Hokushin and the Hokushin Six for some reason. Maybe this isn’t the final battle of TPoD after all, has Kusakabe been a pawn and he will be sacrificed by Hokushin or that researcher dude Tessa was talking against to summon Satan the ancient Martian? Or maybe Hokushin is the inevitable wave two? The four Super-styled robots from TV Nadesico have their HP inflated to +20-40k and their values upped, the Jovian battleships over 30k, the Kagurazuki has 89k. And of course, everything has a Distortion Field. Once I defeat Kusakabe, Ruri orders his arrest again and he surrenders. This sounds fishy.🤨 Hokushin and his Six appear in the northwest. Though he is worth 20k, Hokushin has less than 40k HP and the Six not even 15k each. They are difficult to hit, but Strike mitigates that. Akito shows up with Lapis in her ship and I can control both. Kusakabe turned blue too and is now a stationary unit with about 20k HP, I can’t let him be destroyed. When Hokushin is taken out, he regenerates health so Akito can hit him twice, once with Distortion Attack, and once again shedding the Black Sarana’s armor for a Aestivalis Distortion Punch, the dynamic finish emphasizing eyes crying oil. Next, it’s Aria and Applicant who instantly steal Kaname and Tessa. Aria mocks Kazuma, Applicant drops a Trailer Tenet on them since he knows they know now. They try taking Yurika, but she Boson Jumps herself and the Calculation Unit into the Nadesico C. The Database duo leaves and I’m left with twelve of their troops to kill (the surrendered Kusakabe withdraws here). A very easy finish. With the fight concluded, the heroes ask Akito to come back. He feels like an utter failure for letting the things that led to this happen, and speaks of the death of some girl that I never heard of before. Akito refuses to shed his darkness. Inez then starts talking from the ruins to Ruri’s surprise, explains she is the girl Akito knew, but b/c Boson Jumps involve time, she got sent to the distant past, the ancient Martians sent her back to her own time -but some years earlier, and her missing memories came back only after the Lizard War. Her younger self then appears for some reason, the adult Inez gives her something, and she goes away. Off the battlefield, Yurika wakes up, her first impression astonishing those who didn’t know this glorious captain. Akito left Lapis -who tells Ruri she’s a Nergal product made to help Akito- to help Neue Warter. Lapis will take Yurika and Lacus back to Earth, Neue Warter will follow once they get Chidori and Teletha back. The Nadesico cast believes that Akito will indeed return to them sooner or later. So that’s the end to Martian Successor Nadesico: The Prince of Darkness? From a gameplay perspective, well maybe I had Super expectations for drama of what’s a Real series.😅 I had all my SP left on a ton of units thinking there would be something truly menacing around the corner. From a narrative perspective, not great either. Part of it is my own error- there is no Lucifer of the Fourth Planet 👿, which I had envisioned could’ve been some evil Martian of yore sealed in the ruins. The title referred to Akito’s sorry state, my bad!😆 Kusakabe voluntarily surrendering strikes me as odd, unless on the remotest chance SRW is keeping him alive so he can offer help to someone else. Hokushin was merely a bloodthirsty Jovian? No hint of anything else?😐 The most interesting thing to come out of this, was learning that Le Cain’s strange return in J, was in fact nothing new. This was a letdown after the wonderful prior scenario only in-universe minutes before. -Well the end was disappointing, the beginning was still cool. And at least Yurika can live a normal life again!✌️ 5 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Probably in the next game. The realization dawned on me- Ryusei was in Alpha 3. There MUST be a scene where he goes 😍 over KoRyu & AnRyu. 3 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Alright, Freak Sheet defeated.

I live close enough to Downtown Orlando that the bus network is actually alright. The benefit of living in the boondocks, would be that unless you regularly go up and down rail-free razor-thin mountain roads, your necessary level of constant awareness while driving is lower. Fewer people = fewer vehicles = lower chances of collision. ...Which is why I curse my fate for living somewhere that's more of the opposite.😐 Me, with my not-great reaction times, with a mind that can get lost in itself too easily. The license is only the beginning, being in a vehicle alone on a daily basis, nobody else as a possible preventative measure against my deep-seated flaws, where I live. ...It's only a matter of time until 🚗⚰️. -Well maybe nothing that bad, but I'd think I'd want to get in the habit of praying.📿 -And I know this is being preeeeeeety defeatist, though I would argue "realist".

And at least Yurika can live a normal life again!✌️ Pretty much, yes, the movie ends with this battle. Kusakabe does surrender... but doesn't flee. So W is doing something new here. Hokushin also dies here, but SRW tends to have him still be a menace after this battle, so not surprising he lives. Now, regarding the movie... it still doesn't have exactly a happy ending. Despite the battle being over, Akito sulks off (Lapis still following in tow), even though he was finally reunited with Yurika. Yeah, as if we needed more evidence the movie was very... questionable in its story decisions. Now, all I can say is that W goes for a more unique approach to post-PoD stuff than other SRW's do. So Yurika, Lapis, and Akito leaving... you won't see that in VTX. 1 minute ago, Interdimensional Observer said: The realization dawned on me- Ryusei was in Alpha 3.

Well, it wasn't that bad. I managed. Though when I was coming back with Vivian, I encountered another Amayzee... though it fled instead. Good thing since I had less than 20 HP. Though unlike before, I took out a Life Shroom from storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iirc they used to be more loose, but they made them more strict to limit the poaching. There're also matters with nations that share a nationality (like UK), so there more requirements than just citizenship (usually living there for a time or some kinda clear connection - which 99% of the times is the case when you hold the nationality) Edited June 16 by Codename Shrimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
