I do like a hard ass game, but it doesn’t pair well with having stuff to do and being busy, which is somewhat me now. Like major challenge when I get to play for so little at a time just makes me feel somewhat demotivated, since it feels like I’m never gonna finish. That thing some of y’all said where it was like “challenge is cool but I don’t have infinite time on my hands” I… I get it guys. Not sure though. Either way, chapter 18 hurts my brain. I tried to move my entire army to the left but you just get swarmed by the right so… Well, if you wanna play for challenge, theres always later runs or simply modding for actual balance in mind.

If you can tolerate indie games, then you should try " Astlibra:revision " it will come out on Switch. or if you have PC, you can buy it on Steam too rather cheaply. i would rate it 9/10 out of pure enjoyment. It is a whack game that a single developer thats as horny as any other JP developer, work on it for 14 years (!), has many different artstyle meshed together, use many free assets and even free music. but somehow it works! the plot also can put shame many bigger budget JRPG in terms of the plot twist it has. its not "so bad its good". its just very good game plastered with mediocre artstyle. and i heard the non-revision was.. way way worse, to the point someone volunteer to smooth out some artwork. i put my review in "whatcha playing" thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Well, in the Japanese trailer Alear mentions Sombron, admittedly hard to say if that's a confirmation or not. The fact we may have to fight against the DLC Emblems could very much imply more Fell Dragon shenanigans. After all, the Corrupted were shown already.

Yet, it's not like Link's Awakening has much else to use Rupees on? Other than the life potion. The economy is pretty limited in LA IIRC.

You'll see the vision eventually Hey I can believe the game has fun gameplay, but story is a whole other beast. On another note though, I believe I made one of these "personal top favorite games" lists on that same website, though I haven't touched it since even though I'm sure some stuff has changed. It's kind of interesting as personally I've found my list of games I like changes every five seconds, and very rarely do I end up actively enjoying a game for a very long period of time, so any list I make of my favorite games tends to be games I have a lot of respect for conceptually, aesthetically, and literally, but have a truly on and off period when it comes to how I enjoy the game itself. Because of this I even have thought of ditching the tierlist for my Fire Emblem runs and just let any reviews I make speak for themselves.

Acacia Sgt Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) I'd say, between Hortensia's high Res and Ivy with Thoron, I laughed in the face of Rexcalibur. At least, until Soren with Flare had the potential to one-shot Hortensia... but thankfully he missed. Still... I did not see it coming, should've been more careful there, pft.

Sounds like you need a gaming kaleidoscope. Some kind of program that'd convert your moods on games into an ever-changing array of colors and designs, with what is there seconds later being totally gone and replaced by something wholly different. Red and white in floral patterns might predominate now, but it could be green and purple triangles in a blink, which in turn are replaced by black with yellow fish. While I can assign numeric scores to games, I don't love making tier lists. To rank is to discern, to discern is to discriminate. That isn't to say it's a terrible thing, we're talking video games here, not IRL people. Few fictional characters or games fill me with bile (which I shouldn't generally try to feel IMO, it's likely not enlightened (there are always exceptions) to be attached so strongly to mere entertainment in a negative way), and I don't want to diminish things others might like. I wouldn't enjoy placing Ninian somewhere low on an FE7 characterization tier list, even though I personally would. Sometimes I prefer to phrase things as "this/they didn't click with me" and pin the blame more on myself than what the developers hath created. Sorting among favorites is different, yet also not an easy thing. I'm inherently indecisive to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like, reverse Houses, pretty much. 5 hours ago, Edelguardiansing said: Well luckily for you, you'll get to meet up with her real soon. You know the worst part about this? They chickened out. If you kill them with Byleth, you can spare them. It serves absolutely zero purpose, they don't join and their only further involvement in the story is sending a letter to Rhea apologizing. It's only there so you don't have to kill them. They wouldn't commit to making you do bad things in the bad guy route. For shame. 5 hours ago, Edelguardiansing said: Like be in a better story?
