As it is, I can at least attack Catherine from range. 15 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Hubert gets eviscerated and just goes "aight, that's enough, imma walk now" and warps away, even though rewarp isn't a thing in Three Houses.

Sooks Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I don’t know what I was thinking when I said that Seteth was MVP. I should have done that joke where I swap out the MVP again, but instead of putting canto I should have put stride. Seriously, stride was how I won first when I was ambushed in the forest and then on the turn where I took that picture. So good! 36 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Ah yes, here we have the greatest Fire Emblem game at work. Ahahaha! It’s maddening though, when is there a good super ultra mega difficulty? I would like to point out that all the red tiles were Hubert’s range and he had meteor. 36 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Also, I like Hubert just chilling there. Did they seriously have nobody else to make the boss of chapters? Did they really have to use Hubert 12 times and make him retreat every time? On Silver Snow you only fight him here and at the enbarr chapter (not counting the pretimeskip Edelgard fight because obviously he would be there) since there’s no Dimitri paralogue or war of the Eagle and lion. 30 minutes ago, Armagon said: Tbf, on Silver Snow, it's not like Edelgard has anyone else. They could have gone full “I can’t fall here” meme and just made it always the death knight. Again. 30 minutes ago, Armagon said: The Crimson Flower version has Catherine which....i don't know which is worse. On one hand, Hubert is squishier but has Meteor or some other long-range. On the other hand, Catherine has 1 range but is a swordmaster in forest hell so.....pick your poison i guess. Well there’s already an assassin in the forest enemy spawns, so... You know, I’m surprised this chapter’s reinforcements were player phase spawns considering this mode’s track record. I mean the chapter still sucks, but still.

Interdimensional Observer Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 4 hours ago, Armagon said: Ah yeah, i've been meaning to ask about this. Because i've gotten a few Ex Combos but it feels like i did them on accident. Alrighty, next lesson!🙂 Ex Combos are a specific combination of one or more Special Attacks and normal attacks (and there are like 3 of them that require a specific kind of equipment as well). A couple of Ex Combos have little bonus effects, but most are purely additional damage. The basic Attacks in Ex Combos have to be specifically A or B or a mix, depending on the Combo. Milly gets Ex Combos that do not require Special Attacks, that is unique to her, and some of these use her one of her two exclusive 1+ or the 2+ or the alternate 3 (why isn't it a 3+?) Magnus. But don't fret about Sagi and Guillo missing out, they'll get one and a couple of tricks up their own sleeves respectively later. To use Ex Combos that require level 1, 2 and 3 Special Attacks, unless you reach a very high class level, you can't generate MP from the 1 & 2 Specials to pay for the level 3, since MP caps at 5. This is where MP Burst comes in. Activating it once MP reaches 5, will grant infinite MP for one character's single assault, but it will disable MP generation for a brief period afterwards. An MP Burst can carry over to the other two if they participate in a Relay Combo, meaning they have a piece of equipment with an "R" in the upper right corner equipped, and they're able to attack after another character without there being any enemies in the attack queue between the two heroes. A list of Ex Combos you have performed in the past can be found in the menu. A few Ex Combos can be revealed by purchasing them at the Coliseum in exchange for RP. Otherwise, it's trial and error to see what forms one. Those of the same element tend to pair together, like Heavenfall and Red Padma, but not always. Icefan doesn't pair with Twin Ice Auger, it's Firewheel that goes with Twin Ice Auger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rubenio Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Gotta say, I know this is just going to sound like Boomer Ruben at it again, but I kinda sorta agree with Brightbow on this one. It's a similar case to Path of Radiance for me. I see endless praise for the story and characters. Mind, I don't think this is unwarranted - they're pretty good, even if I do find them to be rather overrated. But when the time comes to talk about the gameplay, people say very little. "It's good", "it's fine I like it" or "I enjoy customizing my favorite characters." I don't think I've ever seen anyone truly praising Three Houses's map design or mechanic design. Quite the opposite, I've seen even big fans of the game who admit that things like the monastery and the maps aren't all that great, in hindsight. Now, for a change, I'm not just trying to rant at the wall here. I would be genuinely interested in seeing an indepth analysis of Three Houses's gameplay by someone who truly believes that Three Houses's gameplay is as excellent as its story and characters. Because, well, maybe I just haven't looked hard enough, but I've never seen such a thing, and... I honestly can't understand it. The game has such blatant, titanic design flaws that it baffles me people have so readily accepted it as the best game in the series and Better Than Fates™. Especially now that I've played Fates and, well, I dunno about the other routes, but Conquest's gameplay runs circles around Three Houses's sorry ass. So yeah, if anyone wants to yell at me about why I'm an idiot and Three Houses is actually amazing, I'd love to see it.

null Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I think 3H's success stems from taking it as a complete experience instead of trying to pick its individual aspects apart. Not that that's inherently bad, but when you look at a game as a complete experience (story, gameplay, characters, music, etc.), Three Houses stands pretty strong.

Not that that's inherently bad, but when you look at a game as a complete experience (story, gameplay, characters, music, etc.), Three Houses stands pretty strong. Ehhhh I have to disagree there. When I first played it, I really liked it, but the weak gameplay began to drag it down really hard in the later stages. And on my replays, this fatal flaw only increased my dislike for the game further and further. Of course, I personally believe that, when it comes to FE, gameplay is by far the most important aspect, and none of the others matter in comparison. I know a lot of people play these games mostly for the story - in their case, I completely understand loving the game as much as they do. I suppose the game just isn't for me, but I still think it's important to criticize, not excuse, the weaker aspects of the gameplay. Because if we don't, they won't improve on it, and I think better gameplay is something we can all agree would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
