If you think that's odd, you haven't seen Xenoblade X OST names Just the tip of the iceberg. Sawano always does this with most of the songs he composes so it's not even exclusive to Xenoblade X. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Okay, so I just downloaded Citra. I had a game lying around and ran some tests. I get a consistent 10 FPS. I can't play like this. And I'm not about to go fishing for a Conquest cartdrige just so I can burn my eyes out on my 3DS's tiny screen, so... Yeah. I don't think I'll be playing Conquest any time soon. A shame. Damn, that's rough. Even though FPS doesn't matter too much in a grid-based SRPG, 10 fps is still too low. I just saw you didn't actually try Conquest yet but shhhhh. 3 hours ago, lightcosmo said: The awful FPS might be game pending, as FE games dont tend to run as much, the odds of worse FPS are lower. Also consider that their graphics are usually below average, so it wont have to run those as hard, either. This feels like a good time to bring up that people overestimate emulation capabilities. Sure, something may look low-end but at the end of the day, your PC or phone was not designed to run whatever game it is you're trying to emulate so problems may arise. NES, SNES (and anything before), GameBoy and GBA are like the only stuff that comes to mind that runs 100% perfectly on emulation. PS1 and PSP is also very good but i got occasional slowdown on the audio when i was emulating Xenogears and while i was able to emulate the PSP Trails games just fine, emulating The Force Unleashed on PSP had some slight problems. 1 hour ago, Sooks said: So is Touhou like a genre of games or a series? It's a series.....kinda. The shmups are the main games and by main, i mean it's the actually official stuff. Stuff made by the sole creator. Everything else is a fan-game but Touhou is unique in that department in that fan games are allowed to be sold as legitimate games with no fear of copyright strikes or anything.

null Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) The music (the Bad Apple remix specifically) is how I discovered the franchise in the first place. Touhou 7 (recommended for beginners) has been fun, for what I've played of it. The fighting game is a blast to mess around in too. And I'm not even a fighting game kind of guy (beyond Smash, that is). Edited January 5, 2021 by twilitfalchion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's also this weird slowdown that would make any action game utterly unplayable. Again, it's not like you need precise inputs to play a SRPG, but slow game speed is already one of my biggest complaints about Tellius. Slowed down FE is not what I need. Still, I'll grab Conquest and see if it works any better than the random game I had lying around (Star Fox 64 3D, for the record). Like I said before, slim chance, but worth a shot nonetheless. 15 minutes ago, Armagon said: This feels like a good time to bring up that people overestimate emulation capabilities.

GC/Wii, DS and PS2 have great emulators as well, but that's where you begin to need a beefier computer to be able to run them properly. Citra is for an even more modern system, so I can't say I'm that surprised. Edited January 5, 2021 by Saint Rubenio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benice Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Speaking of Citra, I find it odd that my seven-year old computer that had 1.75 GhZ could run FE games on Citra at about 80% he intended speed, but my new three-year old one with about 3 GhZ runs them at about 50%.

Saint Rubenio Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) While digging around, I have found that there's apparently a "swimsuit + marriage" patch to Fates. No idea what it's about.

Acacia Sgt Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Yeah, gonna agree that makes no sense. Heck, even if they decided to only give Kana an option each per gender, they still did it a bit bad. Like, both options are from Hoshido. Should've had one to Nohr, as it were...

Saint Rubenio Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Okay, so good news. After 30 minutes of hassle, I finally got myself Fates. For some reason that I cannot comprehend, this works perfectly. The weird slowdown that Star Fox suffered from is not present. Emulators are such fickle beasts. Welp, guess now all I have to do is finish Death of the Outsider, and then I'll finally see what the whole fuss is about. EDIT: Just testing to see if the game really runs well or if it's just the title screen.

There are some slight slowdowns when fading into battles, but from this five-minute test, nothing that will severely impact my enjoyment of the game. I even upscaled the internal resolution a little bit so I don't feel like I'm looking at the game through dirty glass and it still runs well! The real problem is that I'm going to make the ugliest Corrin possible and spend the rest of the game giggling at them like an idiot. Seriously, those hair options are amazing.

Not like I'd know in this case, I haven't used Citra. And good luck dealing with it, Fates might have a decent game system, but execution is certainly something I'd argue about.

It's the necklace of Azura's pendant. At the end of the intro video, her pedant breaks off, and some of the pieces of the necklace did as well. So they're the broken pieces also falling with the pendant. Since the necklace is a chain of interconnected... whatever those tube-like things would be called.

They’re pieces of Azura’z necklace that is broken on the title screen for no reason, because the game spends the entire plot pretending like her necklace is important and special with it’s only confirmed power being that it refreshes your allies in battle and never even once mentioning where it gets it power from. Expect that a lot in this game, FYI. Some research reveals that they say something about it in the Hidden Truths DLC, which you should also expect. But that’s only if you trust GameFAQs.
