I will find you and get you to show us your Paella ways. (I have still never tried Paella).

Apparently it's already outselling the new Pokemon for this month. And I mean, sure, it's 2 months old and also universally hated, but hey. We're beating Pokemon in any capacity! That's incredible!

Well "universally hated" is a stretch cuz the people that played it seem to like it, and the competitive scene seems a lot of fun and I am enjoying being present to see it develop.

I find it hilarious how everyone in the reddit post is going "4 HOUNDS PLAYABLE YAY OR NAY." I know a lot of people want them, but with the massive villain energy they exhude I honestly wouldn't have too high hopes.

 

And "S-SUPPORT where"

Everywhere xD

I'd expect then myself.

Good to know. Having an idea of when ought to increase my tolerance for waiting my impatience indicates I check for gaming news too frequently anyhow.

I have several questions:

We're saying the older folks don't wash?

I think it has everything to do with Marvelous/Hakama's decision to let you see NPCs taking baths.

In prior games (minus maybe 4, which as I've repeatedly said before I never played), the most you got was seeing NPCs standing next to the entrance to of their gender's bath. You never actually saw them in the pools.

  • Letting the NPCs go into the Japanese-styled baths themselves would be weird if they stayed dress in their normal clothing.
    • Going in as one would IRL would raise the game's rating unacceptably high without:
      • Lots of steam
      • Or, having characters instantly shed their clothing once they were submerged up to their waists or mammary glands in much-deeper and more opaque water than is presently ingame.
    • The developer presumably didn't want to make 16 bath towel/robe costume models either. (That 16 includes the two kids, maybe they would've been kicked out of being seen in the baths if it were towels instead of swimsuits as the decorum.)
    • And thus they resorted to using the swimsuit models while in the baths. Which is a suitable solution, I've seen it used before.

It's fair to say that older folk do bathe of course. It would be very weird if they didn't. Rune Factory Frontier had them doing so offscreen, since I remember Marco the kid still has to bathe with his mother (and share a bed with her), and I think Rita mother of the chubby bachelorette Eunice goes for soaks with her daughter. And on the male side there is old man Nolan who does absolutely nothing it seems except stand in the bathhouse why does he exist when Melody alone runs the place?

The issue, is that the devs probably just didn't want to waste resources making swimwear for the older people. Ignoring that Terry and Elsje have no reason to not be dateable. And they robbed us of Palmo in a thong!

Thus, you never see the old folk in the bathhouse whatsoever, even if they could've sorta resorted to the old solution of standing by the baths as if they've getting ready/just got out. No player is seriously going to linger in the steamy waters and question the realism/immersion of it seeing an old man stand in the changing area, but never actually change.

2 hours ago, Punished Dayni said:

Are all possible times in the baths covered?

There is nothing stopping the game from putting in multiple people at once.:

20230110132119-1.jpg

Four of the bachelors enjoying an evening cleansing, with room left should Reinhard want to join in. (Murakumo can't, he usually washes himself early in the morning alone, presumably b/c he is the only one who runs the inn & baths and has to man the counter.) The minimap also indicates three of the ladies are in it together on their side and it looks like Fuuka will either join in or is leaving. 

I also really wish this game had a "fashion armor" option like Xenoblade right now. That hat might give the best Def value ATM, but it looks ridiculous.

2 hours ago, Punished Dayni said:

Is there a reason we're seeing the kids?

I suppose they just thought that little kids ought to enjoy playing on the beach during the summer, and therefore deserve swimsuits. And then slipped them into the baths since they could?

Julian and Hina are treated well. Nothing distasteful in this game for the two children. Though Cecil does look ~14 despite being a marriage candidate. They wouldn't be the first children with swimsuits in the franchise, since I do remember Candy and Marco had them in Frontier (I don't think the ToD kids did).

Speaking of that... I always thought it was pretty stupid that more countries don't use two surnames. One surname makes it VERY easy for "John Smith" situations to occur. Two surnames lowers the chances of it significantly. Be like Spain, people. Embrace two surnames.

With LGBTQ parenting a thing now, that might become more commonplace. But then would Isabella and Maria have children with quadruple surnames?

 

1 hour ago, Acacia Sgt said:

Because at some point we were hardcore Catholics, of course!

Isn't that also partly why (I would imagine terrain and climate also played a major role) Spain embraced pork as its national meat? Antisemitism and Islamophobia at the dinner table.

Also since when the hell do these games have a cancer warning?

SQMNLIC.png

Typing in the link, it presumably means the plastic and other materials used to make the physical game card might be carcinogens. The list of said chemicals numbers 900+. 

This said, it is a warning put in place by California, the big left-leaning state that might be a little overprotective (better than the opposite though). And I doubt it'd the thing that causes a tumor in anyone. It's only a game card, you put in the console, you take it out, that's the brief physical contact you have with it, nothing else, no real chance of being contaminated. Not like you're using it as a posterior plug.

So these are public baths in a very apparent sense.

All reasonable points, sometimes what might seem obvious if you think realistically adds more to the scope of what is a small part of the game, more than may be considered worthwhile.

Unless you're licking it.

I'm pretty sure it'd just be passing down one surname as usual.

I mean, here kids just take their dad's first surname for their first, and their mom's first for their second. Not sure how it works with LGBTQ couples. Maybe they toss a coin.

Well that didn't take fucking long :lol: I expected Loghain to lose patience with the king sooner or later, but I didn't think he'd just let the mindlessly destructive quasi-demonic force murder everything. If he's actually looking for a power grab, being the queen dowager's dad, I expect very bad publicity, given how unsubtle he was about it, too. Curious to see where this goes, reactions in the thread suggest that he's not just an asshat, after all.

TIL the game changes the color of the bottom screen depending on your character’s gender. That’s dumb, why can’t you just pick the color yourself (iirc you can’t change it)?
