Have you @Interdimensional Observer?

He has not from what I've seen. Although I'm fine being left off it.

The Sun could be singing jubilant broadway show tunes, or the sky could be raining volcanic brimstone and meteors, it doesn't affect me. Whatever the course of Fire Emblem is, I'm fine.

I try to avoid excessive attachment to any video game franchise. I'm sure if the Xeno franchise put out a total bomb of a game, Arma would taking the complete disservice unworthy of the franchise's sacred name far worse than I. I'm no ascetic who has renounced the world, yet a pinch of the religion's anticonsumerism can help avoid unnecessary petty frustrations over material things. That, and as they say- nothing lasts forever. Every video game franchise has a chance to decline, a chance to die, don't get hung up on its present direction and future.

TBF, I had a pretty darned late blooming with eros and video games. Maybe b/c closeted unaware homo, definitely Asperger's at fault. For all my pivotal, most cherished years with FE, none had me drooling over menfolk, none.

Make that three. They slow things down and they're pretty lazy, it's a thin strip of unmoving head. 

If you're going to do cut-ins, make sure they're more dynamic than that paltry garbage FE has been doing. And make absolutely sure the animations surrounding the cut-ins are excellent.

-Which is to say FE has no need for cut-ins at all. The franchise is fine with only minimal flashiness.

Oh absolutely considering your DA was the first thing on DuckDuckGo.

(Seriously, using that search engine yielded mostly results that seemed to lead to you)

DuckDuckGo?

I wonder then how exactly it works, since other search engines at least bring up the actual Chrono Cross AcaciaSgt's... alongside some other me stuff mixed in, heh.

Funny you brought up the SRW cut-ins since even they started basic and remained so for years.

Maybe at most the Newtypes had the flash effect, but they were also just "mostly static portrait moves in for a second" before the actual attack.

Poor FE trying to follow SRW footsteps only to be thrown shade at it...

It's just for your initial reaction if you feel like you had one worth mentioning,

I've felt little to none of that personally full stop. Certainly I like characters in the series, but not in a way you could link to eros.

I mean the character I resonated the most in FE was kinda in retrospect because of the timing with what I most cared about them and a certain person who I've mentioned before. Related spoilers:

Killing my favourite character offscreen in the end.

  I don't know personally, but the image search (using text) was very limited when I checked DuckDuckGo to stuff I could link to you.

If I had a guess, it could have been making AcaciaSgt one word.

Yeah, that was neat. Though it also tends to be the kind of thing I can never be arsed to sit through, personally. In every game with lore books I nab all of them, go "okay now I got em, I can read them later" and then later never comes.

Aye, I feel that with my ADHD. In fact it was only when my brother played that I had read through all of them because he did.

But at the very least you have a vast cast of characters who say a lot of different things, some of which containing the same lore but in a voiced format and I made sure to listen to everybody on my run.

All the characters appear in both routes, they are just recruited in different circumstances.

Well then there you go! She gets a second chance.

But I will show no mercy should she fall again.

agreed. even better just like SRW, they had dynamic animation for a sure-kill attack. i mean, they technically did it with Assasin in FE8. you could tell its a special attack even before they introduce skill in FE game. 

 

dang.. this particular atelier game demanding my attention like never before

I jested then but I have genuinely questioned my sexuality because of Fire Emblem.

And more seriously, I do think it should be normalized for straight people to ask themselves questions like that, even if they decide by the end that they're straight.

L'Arachel modded into The Two Towers would be perfect.

If I ever get Photoshop to work or learn more on how to use Gimp I'll try and make a more high quality image taking a LoTR poster and putting a bunch of Sacred Stones characters on it.

4 hours ago, Punished Dayni said:

Yeah I wouldn't worry too much about it if you're getting used to it, that's absolutely true.

What in particular would you say is different from Photoshop in your experience?

When I was making that thing it was mostly just control and hot-key differences that I wasn't familiar with. I'm sure there's tons more stuff if I looked into it more.

I wouldn't let this happen to me thanks to the power of save states.

So far I've only been using save states when making risky gambits, and even then I haven't needed to use them and all the deaths that have happened were because of me being stupid.

...Or of an random axe guy coming out from the fog and sniping Franz.

Seriously or not, it's not something I'd turn to FE for.

Then again I'd be fine seeing the back of avatars. Wonder how much of a character Alear will actually be.

[BrightBow]

Are they going to be a piece of shit with dialog or a piece of shit without dialog. Only time will tell.

Alear had dialog. in the Japanese trailer he talks abit longer/more words

also cant believe English dub Framme actually even more high-pitched and annoying sounding. didnt expect they could achieve that

Because you were already spoiled about everything?

Jesus I forgot about this one too.

No I've purposefully kept away from most Fire Emblem circles (Aside from this one obviously) as to avoid spoilers on older games. It's just that I need music and visuals to get me to feel a story, which are things this certainly has, no doubt, it's just definitely a game of it's time.

Fair enough.

Okay, I can give a pass to Byleth a little for having no character on the basis that if he did, it might not have made much sense for them to choose certain routes, but if Alear is in a one route story that means one of two things.

Either they will be a poor character with unlimited customization, like Corrin, or a great character with little to no customization, like Robin.

...Or the double whammy of a poor character with no customization.

i actually like the new 3D model pose for battle preview. now it looks like a prep screen from fighting games. especially the one that fusion with Celica with floating tome. seems like it will change depending on their state (normal or fusion, showing actual equipped weapon/tome)

I like it and the fact that animations seem to be good again. Like, did you see that split second of Vander in the trailer? He swung his axe, and his horse didn't spin like it's a fucking helicopter rotor! Ain't that amazing?

2 hours ago, joevar said:

never thought theres other like me that doesnt care about crit cut-in. it gets boring fast. just showing different attack animation for each char and each weapon is enough to tell thats a crit

Yeah, it's not that I dislike it, I just don't care for it. It adds nothing. Crit quotes are a different matter, but... eh, I can live without them. While I like listening to them on a vaccuum, I find that I tend not to hear them much at all ingame. I always seem to just happen to skip any battles where someone gets a crit...

No, that's not possible. None of the companies involved in the making of this game are capable of doing both things at the same time.
