Fogado had Hold Out+3 though and it's like the one time in the game Hold Out actually did something lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It greatly annoys me when I forget to charge it like this.😑 Needed to find something to do with my time, so I took advantage of some perfect quietude and did some catching up on my reading.: T'was for the better.🤩 Reading about the life of the pious Roman-princess-turned-Gothic-queen-turned-Roman-empress/dowager-empress & power-behind-the-throne Galla Placidia was informative and entertaining. Her daughter then being the woman that famously offered her hand in marriage to Attila the Hun (Placidia opposed this) added irony to the amusement. As did the fact that Placidia had her female cousin executed for alleged conspiring with the Goths two years before she was captured/six years before she married her Gothic monarchal first husband. Thanks for the church in Ravenna BTW! What a shame Fire Emblem will be too busy endlessly rehashing overused tropes to bother looking for and slipping in such interesting IRL historical individuals. As they say, reality is often stranger than fiction. 5 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Our version of Kilroy was Here. Sure enough.

Seriously, look it up, the face they made him do there is priceless. 6 hours ago, Sooks said: But then I think about how cool and intriguing Castti’s story is, how fun concoct probably will be, and I just want to enjoy her as protagonist. They should’ve called her Oastti. Jesus her name is ugly enough as it is dude. No joke though, it's a minor nitpick but I like the names this time around less. Castti and Partitio don't even sound like names, Agnea is way too close to Apnea, Hikari is a hilariously generic name for a virtuous samurai and I cannot look up Throné's etimology because Google ignores the accent and defaults to looking for Garon chairs. The other three are okay, but sheesh. 5 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Also, now I get why they looked small. The manga begins when Clanne and Framme first became stewards... when they were around 12 years old. Going by the math done in the reddit thread taking the Day X labels. Does it contradict the datamined ages again or were they used as the base to do the maths? 5 hours ago, Lightchao42 said: Sure she's an amnesiac with a probably dark past, but have you considered "fight humans with giant iguana"? And she likes meat, like Timerra. That's true. I might have to make room for her just based on her cool hunter abilities.

Lightcosmo Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 On topic of personal attack skills, Corrin's is one of the best i think. 3 Range and the ability to stop enemies from moving and lowers stats by -4? How many units can this hit in total? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even when it's not hitting hard that much, it's very much worth it if there's a big group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that's how i feel, and comparing simply taking out only one unit is nothing compared to how crazy this is. The enemy simply loses a TON of milage due to how the game plays.

Acacia Sgt Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Also, my mistake, they weren't 12. Checking against the reddit post, they were actually 8 when first arriving at the Somniel.

Armagon Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Oh. Ohhhhhh ok. @Interdimensional Observer so the Iris fairy that you questioned why they were repping those games. Turns out the fairy was a semi-recurring character, first showing up all the way back in Marie. Gramnad was the fairy's first consistent appearances but they haven't shown up past Iris.

With bosses consistently being some of the toughest scenarios for every map, having a delete button that you lose nothing by setting up is good. Since when you get to the boss, your army will tend to naturally fall in position and you’re already gonna have Lucina equipped on someone anyway, it’ll be good. You might consider that too situational, but personally, I don’t think that’s too much so for it to not be good so… I guess it’s just a disagreement on that.

Saint Rubenio Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 TIL Lionel from Triangle Strategy. You know, this guy: is voiced by the same man that did Lee Everett from Telltale's The Walking Dead. That's... I actually cannot believe it. That's way more shocking than finding Kenny in Engage.

Interdimensional Observer Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) 13 hours ago, Armagon said: So Dusk and Mysterious are completely represented by each of the protagonists while Arland and everything before it has a few supporting characters. In addition, the Iris fairy, Pamela and Hagel also show up, the latter two because they're recurring probably. The game is a town sim RPG and a lot of the inhabitants are also just characters from across the series, though they only pulled up to Iris in that regard. For the Salburg and Gramnad characters, this was the first game in which they appear worldwide. Lilie and all of Gramnad in particular lack fan-translations. So as you can see, unlike Engage, this is very much an Atelier All-Stars game that just happens to have a few OCs. Sounds like it sure could please. (Which is bound to be easier to do than FE anyhow- b/c not a 30+ playable cast per game.) Thank you for the information. On the Iris front, I'm not sure why they felt like slipping Norn in, she isn't truly important (I suppose b/c wholesome cute catgirl), though I understand leaving room for a silly "extra" pick. Arlin would've made a better third from a plot perspective, but then the many alchemists would need to whip up some bandages b/c ouch he's edgy. As for the ancient alchemists, I feel sorry for them that this had to be the case, a lack of even fan-translations is sad. Fire Emblem is lucky to have had a diligent translation community. Since you named her, I finished a quest this morning that also revealed that Pamela's death is explained in AI3. A different cause of death from her AI1 self's, but in both cases she doesn't remember it nor anything of her past until the heroes bring her something that jogs her memory. 2 hours ago, Armagon said: Oh.

Turns out the fairy was a semi-recurring character, first showing up all the way back in Marie. Gramnad was the fairy's first consistent appearances but they haven't shown up past Iris. There isn't a single fairy, at least not in Iris. Rather, they're an entire species, one that ages slower than humans whilst retaining impeccable youthful appearances, and seemingly unexplained-ly all male. And the Iris games also decided that their Wood Manas look pretty much identical to the fairies, yet are completely unrelated. AI2 has a playable fairy, although I was confused at first b/c he braggingly gives himself the title "the Gun Mana", which contrary to American thinking is not one of the 13 elements that comprise the foundations of the universe. Edit: I'm guessing you learned that from the MaRiemake news today? B/c... They were a species first time around even. Much more color variety here than in the first two AIs, which relegated them all to wearing green (AI3 added some variety back). They remind me of the Harvest/Nature Sprites of SoS in this image -except two-tailed on the caps instead of one.
