Capt. Fargus Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Dammit boy... got to thinkin today. Last runthru of ch 11a of Binding Blade, forgot to bring the damn Guiding ring for Clarine since she’s at level 19. Well that sure as hell aint no good for arena grinding. So I played thru it again.... after doling out all the promotion doodads I already had. And I’ll be hornswoggled, also even managed to git all the idjits rescued before they could suicide themselves Yea Im definitely liking that a little better 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interdimensional Observer Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 @lightcosmo Does it matter at all which of the Earth and Water (I'm assuming the Lakehaven one is water) trials I do first? I was about to do the Earth one, but changed course since I'd had side quest stuff out east to do. And I knew I'd be return west eventually b/c the Camelot Bridge and other area with an evil domain. Also, are any sidequests missable? I ask this since I trekked back to Marlind and noticed an old man who was a light blue dot on the mini-map saying the Iris Gem is in the town sanctuary. It looks like I might not have picked this Iris Gem earlier in the game, since the UI map legend doesn't tell you blue dots are sidequest-related people for a quest you haven't finished yet. I went inside the sanctuary but didn't see the Iris Gem anywhere, and since each has a skit associated with it, I take it I can't obtain the Gem since Alisha is no longer on the team. Would I be able to obtain the Gem whenever she does eventually rejoin? I have a feeling the Iris Gems might be affect the ending. No spoilers please!

Im fairly sure you can choose to do trials at your discretion, although I -think- water is technically the easiest? Assumed first maybe as well from what i gathered. I dunno how to answer this without spoilers but the game has quite a few missables if I recall. Its been a while ofc so my memory might be a bit rusty. I think they might be a requirement to continue eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armagon Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Daxter is the textbook definition of mid (review) Daxter is a personally unique game in that it was the one and only PSP game i ever had. Loved it as a kid but how does it hold up now that i'm an adult who has developed taste? ...I think Daxter is like the most mid game i've ever played. It's not amazing but it's not awful either but it's just right in the middle. Like dead center. Which in some ways makes it worse. The best way i can describe this game is that it simply exists. Almost everything in this game simply happens. Level design is whatever but they occasionally put in some new ideas so things don't get stale. But levels are simply just things you do. Maybe this isn't making a whole lot of sense but usually in good platformers, every level feels like it's own mini-adventure and it feels great to beat them. In Daxter, levels simply start and they simply end. There is no fanfare and the soundtrack is extremely forgettable and the overworld is devoid of any life. At least the combat's nice, if basic. Even the story is simply just something that happens and complaining about the plot in a platformer feels strange but everything you're doing in this game up until the end is completely disconnected from the original goal. Daxter says he'll save Jak and then just fucks around for two years. He literally ignored the main plot because of sidequests. This is the only Jak & Daxter game i've played (that's a lie, i played Jak X once) and it is a spin-off so it's not like i'll judge the series with this game. But man, sometimes games really are better when you're just a little kid who simply likes things. 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igraine, Ladylake (complete with a sword in a stone), Malory, Tintagel, Marlind looks like a corruption of "Merlin", Gaferis (Gaheris), Pendrago(n). The "magnificence" of that trend started in the 8-bit era of Western releases plastering ugly, unrepresentative "art"work on video game boxes. I do not understand it. 64-bit would've been at the end of this hideous era of advertising, I believe. Suikoden 1 concluded it with a bang. It leaves me speechless, mostly because my voice can't travel through the near-vacuum of the planet's outer atmosphere that Toran Castle reaches into. maybe zesty dev like arthurian legend? the moment soren must pull Lailah, i already expect the game will have another nod to arthurian stuff in other places or names. ------- i've read that somewhere thats because american very not into anime yet at that time so anything that resemble anime get westernized art they put effort to make it like that, but somehow forgot to just translate whatever subtitle below Suikoden is. misguided effort really 10 hours ago, Armagon said: Slightly outdated because I made this before Sophie 2, put it in between Escha & Logy and Ryza 2. i appreciate the tier list, but im not a fan (yet) so cant recognize any of it except maybe ryza which i dont know which one is ryza 1 or 2 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I shouldn't have said middle eastern and instead said Egyptian as that's where the belly dancer idea that most FE dancers take from originates.

Egypt still has a sizable dark skinned population. so for me it's not totally unreasonable to suggest Tethys being a minority in that department. Or you could say she comes from elsewhere, as belly dancing has taken route all across the Arabic world and beyond in it's own special form. If you really wanted to be accurate to the source material, perhaps she's a white girl who picked it up from watching youtube videos. Not-not that there's anything wrong with learning different culture's folk dances, especially for ones as cool as belly dancing. Hell, I'm a Native American and I've done Raas Baladi. Egypt's ethnic history is an interesting one though, and there it's good to think about how Egypt, despite being a single idea in our minds, has lived through many different forms, giving no one answer to what was the ethnicity of the Egyptians?

Saint Rubenio Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Tethys spinning somehow crashed my mobile Youtube app. Tethys spin is too powerful, what have I done. Speaking of Tethys, you know one little oddity about FE8 that I've always wondered about? This cursed-ass wink. Tethys does it a number of times throughout the game. How'd they do that? Blinking doesn't work like that, there aren't separate blinking frames for each eye. The text editor just says [Wink] and leaves it at that. Fascinating. 4 hours ago, Edelguardiansing said: Eirika watching Ephraim and L'Arachel flirt 4 hours ago, Edelguardiansing said: Eirika remembering her prf weapon is effective against L'Arachel 4 hours ago, Edelguardiansing said: These images hit different after having now played Sacred Stones.

Jehanna is a desert nation, so I made everyone that comes from there dark skinned. Just so I could spend an afternoon recolloring portraits and battle sprites. Still, nice to see it's sparked such an interesting discussion. The battle sprites are actually darker than the portraits, though. I did what I could - damn sprites have an obsession with using skin colors on weapons and clothes. Not to mention, half of them just plop a single pixel of white on someone's face, and then use that on their clothes and weapons. It makes darkskinned sprites absolute hell, I had to give Josh and Gerik bronze weapons just so it wouldn't look like they have... uh, something suspect on their face. I even had to repalette two people because I just could not make their palettes work! In any case, I really do feel like the darker skin suits Tethys a lot better, to be honest.

I'll be honest here, it's less to do with Koei Tecmo as a company. It's just I can't help associating them with Three Houses/Three Hopes. Which to some people would be a plus. But I burnt out so hard on Three Houses that when Three Hopes came out I was like "whatever". Which feels wrong when I remember how excited I got for games like New Mystery (which I'm still mad about not releasing here), Awakening and Shadows of Valentia. Or how much I enjoyed Fates over-all despite reservations about "splitting the game Pokemon style". The worst thing is the fatigue isn't even something that happened over the course of one playthrough. I went through the game 7 times to get all the supports. The only route I didn't do twice was Silver Snow. Then right after I finished... Jeritza dropped as free dlc. I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back as it were. The idea of going through Crimson Flower again just to use Jeritza and get his supports made me feel physically ill. I know that's a bit of an over-reaction. But I was sick of Fodlan. Something about Garreg Mach turns the whole thing into a naseous tedium the more you replay the game. Fates MyCastle didn't do that. It was simple and streamlined. It couldn't convey plot or lore in the same way... but it also didn't make me walk around halls with no threat or grand secrets for what feels like an eternity. tl;dr version being: I like the gameplay more than the lore due to the fact I like to replay games a lot... and Garreg Mach feels like it only added to the lore. On 9/14/2022 at 11:55 PM, Saint Rubenio said: Wholesome. Glad you're still enjoying that so much haha. Fun fact. My niece is very musically inclined despite her young age. She wrote three different songs about my dog. To existing tunes, sure. But the fact she can sing a song about my dog to the alphabet song's tune while having entirely different lyrics is really pretty impressive. More so because you only know it's to the tune because you recognize it from her singing. On 9/15/2022 at 1:17 AM, Saint Rubenio said: Why would I do that for a FE4 remake, though? I don't want a FE4 remake lol Unfortunately, the worst part of Engage is that it leds a lot of credence to the possibility of the FE4 remake. The elitists will celebrate this silver lining. Me, I'll sit in the corner with you anime scum and give it the cold shoulder. I only tolerated those maps just enough to beat them once haha. I wouldn't mind an FE4 remake. It'd have to make the gameplay quicker even if they didn't make a single quality of life change. Simply because unless it pulls a New Mystery I won't have to translate when I play... which isn't a very natural process to me. Plus, they could inadverdantly do something like fixing it so Arden could cross the mountains in Chapter 4 by making a path. You might say they'd never do this... but there's precedent. New Mystery of the Emblem removed some mountains by the forts in the pass towards the center of the map so Draug, Ryan, Gordin, and the cavs (who could no longer dismount) wouldn't need to be reclassed to pass the pass. Or maybe they could do something so crossing a certain desert in chapter 5 isn't a chore. You know. Basic, little changes even a purist won't throw a fit about.
