Oh yeah, I forgot Toña's supposed to be a diminutive too lol. People in rural areas just never call people by their actual names. Heck, sometimes I have trouble remembering my grandmother's name. Everyone calls her Maruja and I don't even know why.

Maruja? That's a nickname for Maria. Used often in Galicia.

Eres Gallego?

[Eltosian Kadath]

Van Zeiks is definitely right, this is the era of blood types, not DNA, our colored blood is merely suggestive, rather than definitive proof.

Edit: I love how Ryunosuke is the only one surprised that Eggert Benedict is clearly a fake name. Then again, in the Ace Attorney universe it doesn't sound that out of place.

There's the interesting thing I brought up before. You go up there with your super anime tech that the genius loli pulled out of her ass, and then Van Zieks just goes "so what? We don't know how precise this toy of yours is, it doesn't work as proof" and he's just right.

[Eltosian Kadath]

Now one of the Jurors recognizes our mysterious accomplice...but I am definitely going to have to stop things off here at this clear save point, and hour recess of court.

[Lightchao42]

I finished Trails of Cold Steel III, it was pretty cool but I'm not sure how much it qualified as an "ending". Together, we shall write the end to my posts about CSIII. In ink, black as despair.

Spoiler

Rufus's backstory turned out to be surprisingly interesting. No wonder Duke Albarea wanted to be in charge so badly, he must be pretty insecure. Also Sharon is a villain now, the universe had to be corrected after you got to use her overpowered crafts. (Though she'll probably be redeemed eventually.)

Back when I played Cold Steel II, I thought it would be cool if Cedric gained control of Testa-Rossa... I just didn't think he would do it as a villain. He is now Sooks's least favorite character. I can’t believe Xenoblade 3 stole the Sword of the End from Trails all along.

As it turns out, Osborne wants the Great One to create more conflict so humanity can evolve. So he was Senator Armstrong all along? Black Alberich may or may not be immortal, given how he claims he helped create the magic knights. Either "Black Alberich" is a title and he's speaking on behalf of the previous Alberichs, or he's a body jumper (i.e. Xehanort) of some kind. I like how the technology used to create the Orions ties back to KeA's creation, since she's also a homunculus.

Georg and Alberich were mad that there weren't enough deaths in the past few games. It was so underhanded, the other villains were upset about it. How will Rubenio ever play the series now? Even the funny comic relief girl sacrificed herself, I need to lie down for a bit. (Though Georg will probably be redeemed eventually.)

Rean achieves Sin Devil Trigger and the Nameless One gets Evangelion Unit-03'd, also Rean accidentally triggers the end of the world. I can't believe CSIII was just Evangelion 2.0 all along.

Duvalie realizes that going along with this doomsday plot probably wasn't a good idea. How the Great Twilight advances Ouroboros's plans is unclear, but they likely want to obtain the Great One somebow.

I should've expected that Osborne would have his own Divine Knight, apparently the strongest of them all. Now there are six of them, though the whereabouts of the Auric Knight are anyone's guess (unless Rufus has it).

It turns out Musse was the mastermind behind everything, at least among the good guys. I should've seen that coming too, teehee.

Lastly, rather than Azure Siegfried being antagonistic and mysterious for no reason, he was actually missing his memories. Crow regaining his memories was hype, even though there were only three minutes left in the game by then.

Since the game told me to rest for now, I will continue tomorrow.

IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT

Yeah it's a good investment but also it depends on the PC/laptop. Average joe who likes to play video games but also needs a PC likely isn't gonna have the latest in gaming PCs but rather one for every day use. And if they have a Mac because "Industry Standard"? Lmaooooooooooo.

As things are right now, if you have the money, the play is have a high-end PC and a Switch. There, you have 99% of the gaming market covered, leaving the 1% for mobile games and actual PS/Xbox exclusives.

I use a Mac for the every day bit, plus OpenEmu works pretty good and PlayonMac works for about half the games I try to put on it

 

I’ve been pondering gettin another laptop though to with more memory and a faster processor to use just for games and switch over the ones on the Mac, plus have more memory to add more

Lmao “three powerful lords”. Someone needs to break the news about Lyn and Eliwood.

Lmao “unravel the mystery of the black fang” NO DONT PUT THAT IN THE TRAILER, PEOPLE WILL ONLY BE UNDERWHELMED

I mean, not counting Lyn Mode, we learn about them as early as the third chapter of the main story.

Congrats!

I was paranoid the entire time that I somehow made a mistake along the way.😅

While I prefer playing aware of them, SRW secrets usually make me overly concerned about fulfilling them. Despite the fact that meeting the requirements of secrets are usually not difficult, even if they've a lot of steps like the Great Zeo. Like, I know the next fight requires Tekkaman Blade get a boss kill, not a challenge whatsoever, but my mind's emphasis on fulfilling it ends up exaggerating the size of the task.😆

6 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said:

Well, also since this was Zeorymer's debut. MX did tried to do more.

Correction- MX was Zeorymer's debut.

6 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said:

Well, it is kinda what happened in the OVAs. As Masato was the side winning, Kihara tried to take over him permanently, but Masato managed to stop him. Since the actual Kihara was long dead, and the battle was a mental one, then there wasn't gonna be much fanfare to portray in SRW.

SRW does love dialogue though, and dialogue describing events SRW doesn't have the budget to depict.

I think what made it abrupt to me is that it didn't follow the cliched procession of resolution. There wasn't an inner battle where the hero side and the dark side confront each other, argue, and then either the hero accept their flaws and stop being anxious about them, or banish their dark side for eternity. Masato's victory happens without him saying much or directly confronting Kihara. Maybe I'm just too used to the rote-standard approach.

6 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said:

Ironically, this is actually more than what the OVA did. After Yuratei learns the truth, she just lets Masato come in. Who then has the Zeorymer self-destruct, this killing them both and Miku. So... it actually had no battle, more or less. SRW having us fight Yuratei at least makes the thing have an actual climax.

Not a happy ending. Thanks for the fix, SRW.

I think it was K or L that I saw with a secret that saves the entire Fafner In Azure cast whoever they are from being killed off. Like, why did SRW do this? Even it's part of the source material, SRW doesn't mind undoing some tragedies, not infrequently without player input.

-Just asking on this topic, if you had to compile the ultimate hypothetical "Super Robot Wars DE" (DEath, DEcay, DEmise, DEnial, DElirium, DEception, DEsecration, DEpression, DEspair, DEsire, DEstruction, DEmon/DEvil) roster, which licenses -maybe 10- would you include?

This is good.

Assuming MaRiemake sells well enough, they could recycle the engine/assets for the rest of the Salburg trilogy if the original vibe in those two games was the same, they'd be able to knock those out quickly. Whether or not the stylings of MaRiemake would suit the Gramnad duology as well, that I do not know. And for Iris... shall I prepare for Gust you my list of suggestions?😛

You must've missed the FE where the Dragon Knights Hospitaller use spears with bags of IV fluid (thank ancient dragon technology!) attached to them. Keeping alive at 86753 years via elixir taken intravenously, whilst keeping the young generations from getting the opportunity for doing the same.

Rufus' backstory kinda lost weight when he said "actually i'm not your brother, i'm your cousin" as if that actually changed anything. Just felt like Kondo being like "what if i made something up".

It's certainly something common to happen, specially when they're multi-step secrets that span a good chunk of the game. Since there's no way to check if you've done everything right.

Imagine if FE did that. Well, it has, but not to the extent SRW does.

Hmm, I see. If I recall, he wins by kinda absorbing the Kihara personality, becoming a blend of the two, but with the Masato persona in control. So yeah, not quite the standard way to end things usually.

On that topic, there's actually not a whole lot of fighting in general. Like, the trio of Giso, Rockfell, and Saiga only get a verbal beatdown from Kihara, related to the flaws he imparted on the clones, and then just one-shots them with Meiou.

And yeah, the story certainly had a downer ending.

Haha, well, it's what SRW does. It is on the idealistic side of things. Still, it does let some tragedies to still unfold, depending on things. MX is actually notorious for not only letting a bad event to still happen, but to make it playable to boot. And this right after doing the usual "prevent bad thing" with a different thing right before it, so it hits even harder. But as it is, it's on the minority side of thing for the most part.

I have a feeling these "names" are more like nicknames and the like, that are used more than their actual names.

Like, Cookita sounds like someone spelling in English the word Cuquita, which is the diminutive of Cuca. Which is both an actual name and a nickname/shortening for Carmen or Concepción.

ChaCha... now that one could really be a nickname, but of what I can't really tell. Maybe the sort of thing that would be revealed in the show proper I'd guess. What I can guess now is that the fact the second C is capital means it could be a two-name nickname.

Meant that mostly as a casual "darkest/bleakest/most suffering/most murderous mecha animanga" ask. But then I suppose there isn't exactly a shortage of options to consider. Blame the ask on a passing, unserious thought of "would Zeorymer and Ideon go well together in an SRW?".

Anyway, I wish this made me feel anything, but aside from the fact that I don't care for this game or Nintendo Online, at this point I just don't see how this is special. We got 7 and 8 on the 3DS, on the Wii U, and now the Switch is just following the trend. These are really easy games to re-release, they just have to slap really lightweight ROMs in there and watch the money roll in.

So yeah, wake me up if they re-release an untranslated game. Preferably without dirty FOMO-exploiting tactics.

...Oh wait, I just googled it and there's literally an actress from the Philippines that calls herself Lotlot De Leon. So I guess there's precedent... But her name's Charlotte. I guess this one's called Carlota, then? Still doesn't feel like something a Spanish speaker would adopt, but it's less outlandish than I initially thought.
