Sooks Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Nephenee guess what. As an aside, I’ve had miracle and counter sitting around since I got them because I have no idea what to do with them. They both seem so incredibly useless that I just haven’t used them, because I have no idea who I’d use them on. I’m just waiting for some wonder unit to show up and be perfect for one or both.

I don't think it even matters for enemies because of it, as the one time it mattered in my experience they didn't even capitalise with a kill because they missed.

Nice to have another vice-laden character on board in the big old army. Since when was there a military of any size in the world without a racist or a petty wastrel? Like Shinon, Make A Love keeps Tellius from having a too goody-good army. And in way that is more realistic than someone like Peri. I also like his Astrid support chain in principle, due to how it gets modified if you send Marcia to the great cracker barrel in the sky. Supports with any measure of variable script is a nice touch. Now, do I want to hug Makalov? No, not at all. I don't like him as a person. But as part of a greater whole, yes I do. That's a good way to put it. It's why I sometimes call Volcens one of my favorite characters from Berwick Saga. Even though he's... Well, Volcens. Kind of a bad example, though. He's an opposing force, even if he's not a straight enemy, while characters like Makalov and Shinon are decidedly allies, despite their... issues. Characters always being good people unless they're on the enemy side would be boring. 17 minutes ago, BrightBow said: Should have just kept playing the map theme throughout any non-mini boss battles. They are pretty amazing. Plus, a lot of them just don't mesh well with the combat theme anyway. Like every time Clouds of War plays. It provides a really somber atmosphere that does not respond well to being constantly interrupted by... well, you know... Yes, that's the other problem. The map themes are so insanely good. Having them interrupted is annoying. 15 minutes ago, Dayni said: Add Monster you coward 15 minutes ago, Sooks said: But, your whole understanding is already wrong. Like you say the girl is completely out of his league, but within the context of the show it’s literally the other way around, except it’s not that simple because from his perspective, she’s out of his league. They both gain something from each other. And then you talk about it meandering for 20 episodes, and the romance doesn’t really progress all that much, but it’s only a side element of the plot. It’s slow to progress because it doesn’t get that much focus. If this is “anime romance”, the anime doesn’t have it. All right. Quote Yes I know you’re not being serious, but I just want to talk about the anime Ruben rants. The perfect excuse to gush about anime. You all should thank me for my services. Quote G. Have fun.

That man is metal, for a guy whose body is so fragile that he cannot fight at all. Honestly, one of my favorite things about Path of Radiance. Best refresher in the series.

Sooks Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Well, now that Marcia’s recruited Makalov, I guess I can bench her.

Sooks Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Wait, hold on, how does Vantage work in this game? Why is its description “allows this unit to attack first in all fights”?

Armagon Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Ok so for some reason, NoE deleted this Tweet So now we gotta make a distinction between BLADE, Blade and Blade. Thank you Takahashi, very cool. And then there's this info from retailers With this i can now piece together a piece of the puzzle. Those red markings that everyone has, that allows them to materialize their Blade. But such power comes at a cost, as it cuts their lifespan to a mere 10 years. But such a world can't sustain itself that way so i think this is what's happening: You sign up You get your Blade That marking is a clock of sorts (but they also have one in their eyes so idk?) You got 10 years to fill that up. If it fills up, you good, and you get to live the rest of your life. If you don't fill that up, instant death And now all of a sudden it makes sense why Mio is the only character who's 19. Most likely she began fighting at the age of 10 (child soldiers woo) and now she basically has one year of life left. This will likely be something her character will deal with. All of this raises the stakes considerably because this is probably the most dire timelimit any Xeno cast has had to deal with. Anyways ESRB info came out and some people are reading that it says "scene where character get stabbed, scene where character gets shot, blood" and going like "oh this is gonna be the darkest Xeno game ever" and you know anyone that's saying that hasn't played Gears or Saga. 7 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: This is 75% of Japanese Day 1 PS4 sales for 13SAR (which is an awful acronym, sounds like a virus). This, despite being ported over two years later, and Japan supposedly not buying into late ports very often. In summary, a relatively impressive reception for a late port in a niche genre. You love to see it. 7 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: My point is, high heels are a torture device and no woman should be made to wear them by societal conventions. But they do, because societal conventions are dumb. Formal clothing is dumb as shit in general, people really be prioritizing looking "good and professional" over their own health. Dudes in 10000000 degree weather Florida be buying long-sleeve dress shirts and shit, dudes in Florida be buying like ultra slim suits in 20000000 degree weather Florida, dudes in 30000000 degree weather Florida complain about their being too much space between their pants and their legs. Fuck formal clothing, if i could go back in time and kill the concept of formality before it takes root, i would. Sorry for the rant out of nowhere, it's just the complete irony i get when i work at a men's clothing store. 2 hours ago, Shrimpolaris said: i blame Sooks Oh yes this one. I have a story with this one. I liked it. But i think it's what jumpstarted my distaste for suffering (and it's also one of those "too sad to revisit" stories). Ironic isn't it.
