Victory remains in sight but I also have a save state ready for me to save these two. I've allowed myself resets this run if they are convenient so I'll leave the hand of saving certain units purely on if it's simply worth it or not, which is a question I rely on to you fine folks.

Do you think I should go back and save these two? I know Amelia certainly has strong fans.

I know some of us have been making those calls, but you have been trying to ironman these runs to be best of your ability, I'm actually not sure which way to lean.

Boulder's not the most outstanding character, but I like how... normal he is. He's just a nice guy who has a talent for guiding people. He's not perfect, though. You should see his supports with Colm. The kid drives the poor man nuts.

Already I'm far more invested in this plot than the beginning of Eirika's route. The dynamic between unwilling soldiers of Grado and Ephraim is very interesting.

Ephraim's route generally has the better plot. It focuses on better things, I think.

Well, it's headed... somewhere. It still looks a bit like a wrinkly tomato, certainly far less professional than the eye from the repository, and the scaley texture kinda melts as it goes down, but I think it kinda sorta works? I do like the new tentacles. They work better with the perspective.

I guess this is what Bob Ross meant when he said "we don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents", because this entire thing feels accidental lol

Unfortunately, I won't have much time today to work on it, because saturday's going to be busier than my weekday. We gotta collect grapes as per the rural tradition, so I'll have no time till tonight. Maybe. Depends on whether I'm able to hang out with my friends or not.

W sounds good, but its Originals should appear in 3rd OG whenever Banpresto announces it, which should be soon hopefully, we're due for it.

For all the criticisms I see of people saying that jumping into the Trails series via the more recent games is a bad idea, 3rd OG would be an even bigger nightmare.

Ah...I remember this song.

Not too long ago had I listened to this for the first time yet it still feels an eternity away. I particularly remember listening to it in the car on a quiet nightroad trip to the coast. So much in my life has changed since, it almost feels like another world entirely, though outside of that personal stuff it was also I time when I was still new to Fire Emblem. I didn't know much about the games, the history, or the community, all I knew was that I recently played this fun game called Awakening that had an interesting character named Tiki with one of the most beautiful songs I had ever listened to in a video game. I looked up her theme on youtube and found a playlist of all the themes in the series' history. Listening to those, and especially this one, not knowing much about the older games at the time was a magical feeling as the mystery of the older games and what they were like or what stories they told and how that related to the newer games, it was thrilling. 

Now that I know more about the games, that magic has all but withered away despite me still having not played much of the older titles, but whenever I listen to this song it transports me back to that time of ignorance and wonder. I've talked about how the next Fire Emblem I'll pay was probably going to be either Genealogy and the game that follows or Path of Radiance and the game that follows, but truth be told it's up in the air on which one I'll play next. The only games I am decently sure I wont be playing anytime soon are the Elibe games and another route of Three Houses. As of now...Mystery of The Emblem certainly sits nicely in my head as I listen to this song...

...Uh, anyways, back to Aethelred or whatever his name was.

As I thought about it more, I decided that I already did my Ironman playthrough and should just focusing on having fun messing with character classes and growing supports, so I went back and managed to save Tana and Amelia with the cost being that Seth had to steal the XP of all the cavalier units.

Oh boy, a ship map? Gee that sounds fun!

in the time theres no new SRW, Macross copyright problem solved,  Fafner in Azure finally finished-finish, Evangelion movie completed, Code geass got new movie with some upgrade, and some other obscure mecha shows i dont know. i hope they pick some of those in next game.

It'd be great to see Macross again. Just use archived voice clips of Roy and it'd be fine. Original/DYRL needs to show up again. Or at least use Plus again.

Quote

actually not X... im holding off from playing it at first, then i completely forgot about it until you mentioned it. thanks for reminding me, i guess?

ultimately its personal reference but i like V's OG mecha, theme song, and line-up more than X hence i played V first. its also the first time in the series afaik where Final Boss has unique, voiced, dialogue lines for every protagonist. ultimate fanservice and peak cheesiness really

Yeah, of the two people tend to prefer V over X. Admittedly, the whole Al-Warth thing had its issues, and then there's the overfocus on Wataru, which also some people weren't that keen about.

Also, how are you handling the... well, blinking frames. Or you're just letting it be. Is that why its eyeball is red? Is the poor monster in need of eye drops? XD

Oh, your town has a grape farm... or actually your family does? Is it just a grape vineyard or like an actual winery? If the latter, be sure to hire the guy named Cliff. Don't want him to leave town forever once winter comes.

Does that means you're team Violet once Pokémon Gen IX comes out?

At least you can count on the game having a glossary/encyclopedia. Not that it'd make things that much better, but it'd at leats be something.

Only if they actually change them to be proper outfits. Since if I recall, they just slapped the censored outfits over the "unequipped" default one, so it looks... kinda bad, actually. Like wearing double-layer.

Status staffs in the GBA games only use 1 RNG. Which means 18% actually IS 18% and not 6.66%.

This is something that can be easily felt with even as a casual player, I'd say. Status staffs always have lot hit chances, yet they connect all the time. Meanwhile regular attacks with the same hit chances never do.

This actually makes more sense than where they're recruited in Eirika's route. They encounter Eirika in Port Kiris, head the complete opposite way and find themselves in Grado. In Eirika's route they just sort of teleport ahead of Eirika even though they, again, headed the complete opposite way.

Macross Plus! i would even want to believe if people said the animators sweating blood when making it. the animation is just that superb imo. also best Dogfight animation ever exist afaik, with Yukikaze following it closely by virtue of 3D animation. the story also feel very mature, just like the OG macross iirc which i really appreciate unlike newer stories. and then theres the gigantic, naked, holographic AI woman 😊.

OG player? interesting, that would be even niche afaik. but is there any reason why they dont release it worldwide, other than not enough interest to gain profit? im really interested OG series where Masaki and Shu exist, but reading the plotline always gives me headache. 

if you want to try mainline, maybe try Z. its the one with most ambitious story in mainline (not saying its the best, mind you). with storyline spanning over 5 games,... the only real bad thing of Z is: the release are spread all over the place in terms of platform, just like the cursed kingdom heart.

I always think the version from SDatBoL makes the manaketes seem like they're aliens. NES soundfonts for you.

One track from MotE I think has an outsized impact would be this, imagining someone telling the story of that game around a fire with this playing as they do.

I haven't see it myself, but woah, really? But yeah, it'd be neat to see that one at least in SRW again. Seven and Frontier have showed up more in comparison, so if Macross comes back, better use one of the older ones.

Best I recall, it was still licensing issues. Just, Voice Acting and Music ones. So either pay through the roof for those, or pay money to make their own. Either way, it wasn't deemed feasable.

I think it's best if he starts with the standalone ones. Tackling the multi-game ones should be best done later. Not to mention, no Z game has a fan translation yet, which is why he brought up AP and J. He even only has played the OG games with fan or official translations to boot.

right... i will put it on my wish list at least.

i would recommend watching M Plus even if someone not a fan of mecha. because its (almost) not silly somehow despite being a Macross. its also very much standalone story after all. Seven is weird.. riding fighter jet but cant attack but can buff & debuff allies/enemies the protagonist alone has so many song compared to other series featured in SRW, Lmao. Frontier is understandable, its the most successful of the bunch

sorry, cant help it. Z2.1 and Z2.2 is the one that i manage to complete even without understanding what the story, or even what button i just press(moon rune).

huh.. why is her hair remind me of someone...
