BrightBow Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I wonder if the Gram at one point had the ability to ignore shields. Would be kinda crazy if it did, considering how powerful it already is. But on my latest run I couldn't help but notice that not only does it look like a Rapier but also does Rapier hitting noises. And between the Rapier, the Estoc and the Colichemarde, ignoring shields is otherwise a consistent property of that weapon family. Gotta say, though. Berwick's sounds design is just so sweet. In the sword family alone, you got different sounds for rapiers, standard swords and greatswords. As well as different sounds depending on the amount of damage you do. Which is also sold really nicely with different animations for getting hit and all kinds of effects. If you lose 90% of your HP in a single strike, the game most certainly makes you feel it.

Saint Rubenio Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 4 hours ago, Armagon said: You joke but i do not feel like it is that farfetched anymore. If they remove permadeath, FE stories can finally stop being above average at best. 3 hours ago, Imperator Squilla said: The one thing to destroy my hype lmao The duality of man. As for me... Yeah, no. I don't give a fuck about stories, IntSys has proven they are incapable of designing a game that is remotely challenging without permadeath. I appreciate casual mode as an option, but I tried it once for Garonquest and to me it's mindless. There is no risk, so there's no reason to think. You just throw units ahead and wait for the map to end. And I tried it with a harder version of what's already one of the hardest FEs! Besides, IntSys has also proven they are incapable of writing anything that goes beyond average, so the trade-off wouldn't even be worth it. I'll keep the good gameplay, thanks. FE stories are enjoyable enough. 1 hour ago, BrightBow said: I wonder if the Gram at one point had the ability to ignore shields.

I never even realized there were different sounds for weapons within the same weapon types. That blows my mind. The second part is so true, though. Never in FE have hits felt quite as devastating as they do in Berwick. It works wonders alongside the eternal looming threat of cripplings to make heavy blows positively hard to watch. Someone give the sound and animation designers a medal. 32 minutes ago, Armagon said: Giving Ivy a hug kills you instantly.

Realistically speaking, it'll just be Classic/Casual Mode again. Though maybe they could compromise. There is no permadeath but units that fall have to spend the next battle recovering. So there's still risk. Of course i have a job and college so i'd just default to Casual Mode for the battle saves. 5 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: The fact that so far the confirmed choices for mages are this, clown girl and forgettable shota saddens me.

Add a gold penalty for each instead of being incapacitated for a map and that's pretty much the SRW way.

GuardianSing Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Is there really no button to press to skip a battle? I swear it was in Sacred Stones. Ooh, I like that design. It was always curious to me that promoted Pegasus knights weren't called Valkyries. Feels like it would've been the perfect name to give to the units who are basically angels of death coming from the sky. This girl suspiciously looks like Ike's dead mom. Talk about Chinese court culture. 20 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: So not a full lost cause yet? We shall see... I'll hold off using any strength boosters in the meantime. 18 hours ago, Eltosian Kadath said: If you save the coins, and transfer data over to the next game, those coins will have a less silly use. Radiant Dawn transfers data from PoR? I wonder if I could do that on an emulator... 18 hours ago, Eltosian Kadath said: Yeah, you got a little unlucky, but there is also a method using smite and push to get Ike to recruit her on turn one. Fun fact, when I ironmanned Path of Radiance, I also lost Astrid turn one, as the first casualties I had was the BK bursting out of his house with Mordecai at the very edge of his range (also lost Ilyana, as she was close enough to Mordecai that she couldn't escape the BK's range either, but I digress), but without the ability to smite I couldn't get the 1 turn recruitment and lost her here too. ...Smite? 10 hours ago, Imperator Squilla said: Hey I'd love a Brazilian inspired FE nation, but only if it commits to it on the same level as Hoshido to Japan.

Interdimensional Observer Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Finally got into the mindset to resume A Portable. The infinite SP cheat doesn't seem to work for subpilots, or at least Hayato and Benkei, even when swapped to the lead. Otherwise no issues with the illicit power boost, spamming Love + Enable + Exhaust and God Slash let me send Don Zauther to the scrapyard quickly enough. Surprisingly "only" 190k HP, yet I do not regret cheating here, he ruined my wonderful binge of this game. Turned it off once I got to the intermission, hopefully I won't need to resort to that again. 52 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: Inb4 the spike is retractable. That actually would make for a decent femme fatale murder weapon. Find a man who has hormones, not brains, let him come in close for a impassioned smooch, then pierce his windpipe. 3 hours ago, lightcosmo said: Which law? No Jumping? No talking? No kissing? Xd 3 hours ago, Punished Dayni said: Pretty sure all the rules in that game could cover these 😛 If we outlaw Technique, then the Dragon Tech skillset is banned, which includes Jump. If we outlaw Chivalry, then Parley is forbidden, which presumably involves talking to the enemy as part of the persuasion. Alternatively we ban Hunt because Advice seems like it'd involve talking. Both of these skills are curiously prevented by Silence, whereas the rest of the arsenals of these classes aren't. Dragoons can't use Bangaa Cry either. If we outlaw Charm, then we ban the Lilith species's Kiss skill. So there you go: no jumping, no talking, no kissing. Doable in just three laws.
