(Japan ...saw no official release and was obtainable only on a Nintendo reward program five years later b/c Advance Wars died in Japan. The Japanese title seems to literally translate as "Lost Light" so closer to Europe but not the same.) Opening text... US Europe Our world is destroyed. Our world is destroyed... Fire rained from the sky. After the meteors struck... The land burned... ...the land blazed... The earth shook... ...the earth shook... The oceans raged... ...the oceans boiled... The devastation was total. 90% of mankind is gone... Dust covered the earth, blotting out all traces of the sun. Dust covers the earth, blotting out all traces of sunlight... It seems impossible that anything could survive. What will come next? No one can answer that... But amid the destruction, there is hope... But among the destruction, there are survivors... Slight differences, but why did the US drop that statistic?🤔 I'd personally say the third-to-last and last lines are smoother in US too. And this is only the beginning.😝 16 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Jo honorary FE lord. Her? Unusually peaceful.

Not good for me right now.😅 But, me checking this very topic, I'll re-post this which I had posted earlier this year.: Chapter 08 US Europe Lin: You know, Will, you should be grateful that I'm such a nice instructor. Lin: You know, you should be grateful that I am acting as your teacher, Ed. Will: Oh? Ed: Why do you say that? Lin: Mmm-hmmm. When I was in the Rubinelle military academy, I had very strict instructors. If you missed a question, they'd have you doing push-ups and running laps. You're practically on vacation in comparison. Lin: When I was in the Laurentian Military Academy, I had much stricter teachers. If you didn't pay attention when they spoke, they'd have you doing push-ups... Really, you have it very easy. Will: Wow. Well...thanks for being so nice. Ed: I'm very grateful, First Lieutenant Lin. Lin: Once I forgot how many ball bearings are in a tank thread, and my instructor screamed at me. Not nice screaming, either. Nasty stuff. Things you're far too young to hear. Lin: Why, once when I got a question wrong in class, I was screamed at for ten minutes. Those teachers didn't mince their words either. My ears were ringing for days... Will: Ok, now I'm scared. Ed: I really do appreciate your teaching methods! Lin: Don't go storming across that bridge. Let the enemy come to you. Build some indirect-attack units to weaken them as they approach. Use transport copters to move soldiers into distant cities and factories. Then focus on producing additional tanks and indirect-attack units. Once your force is ready, move east as a group and engage the enemy. Lin: There's no need to rush to cross the bridge. Wait for oncoming enemy units. It would be a good idea to produce indirect attack units for this job. Use Helicopters to transport Infantry units to capture cities and factories. Focus on producing additional Tanks and indirect attack units. Then go east and engage the enemy! Will: Understood! Ed: Understood! Lin: Now give me a thousand push-ups! Lin: Now give me twenty push-ups! Will: Uh...OK? One...two...th-threeeeeee... Ow ow ow...F-f-f-foooourrrr... Ed: Wh-What?! Lin: Will? You can stop. I was kidding. Lin: Just my little joke... Will: ...Huh? Oh! Oh yeah, I... I knew that. Ed: I was worried for a second... Lin: Stop by again if you want more tips. ...Or exercise. Lin: Come and visit the Briefing Room again when you want more tips. DoR knows how to do funny better.😄 Context- the War Room/Briefing Room in DoR/DC is an optional advice column that provides map-specific tips for every campaign battle (something AW can do but FE can't, due to fundamental differences). It's an unexpected, easily missable treasure trove of silly dialogue too.😆 ...'Course I won't recommend Lost Dark Days of Light Conflict Ruin to you, as evangelical as I could be.😛 I think you have some inclination towards disposable-unit strategy since you like that old Command & Conquer thing (albeit that's real-time vs. AW's turn-based). But, knowing it's entirely possible to like Fire Emblem and dislike Advance Wars, despite being SRPG & pure Strategy sisters from Intelligent Systems -as in Ruben's case- I won't nudge you towards it.

Interdimensional Observer Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I didn't want to go back to the old GBA OSTs until after I was done with both of Re-Boot Camp's campaigns, but... This is... an eclectic jazzy sidegrade. I was expecting rock music, but I didn't get that and I don't mind that. However... ...the original is... It has a slightly gritty scrappiness to it, and an upbeat vibe that doesn't flinch at a little Black Hole invasion trouble. And then, around the 22 seconds in, it blossoms into warmth, coziness. It's a blanket of aural comfort to me, it makes me want to 😭, but in a good, nostalgic way. 16 minutes ago, Armagon said: How fucked up must the world be if they're calling it Wars World? Look upon humanity Armagon, do you not see the history of Man is the history of war!? Do you not real- *purges soul of misanthropic/order-demanding villain from my body*. And yet they say in AW1 that things have been at peace for quite some time.😆 Plot was never the strong suit of Advance Wars. Outright nonexistent prior to Advance Wars actually. Meaning: Famicom Wars, Game Boy Wars 1/Turbo-2-3, and Super Famicom Wars. It started lighthearted with AW1, got a little more serious with 2, crept again towards greater seriousness with a little bland environmentalism with Dual Strike. And then overhauled to anime for Days of Ruin. Between Dual Strike and DoR, things went towards Pixar/Western children's animation with the England-developed single-player 3D RTS Battalion Wars games ("Assault!! Famicom Wars" in Japan). Which I also own both of. 6 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: Oh, there was one today. Fairy.

There were some nice ideas in Wargroove for sure, like lower costs for naval units and the invention of amphibians. Critical hits and secondary abilities for units weren't bad either. And yet, the game still never jived. The campaign even on Normal seemed arduous, and the game, despite lower unit costs in general, felt like it was continually starving me of sufficient funds. -But then this was just me.🙃 4 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: ...maybe second best faces.

If I may add my two cents, I dislike the "if you don't try it you might miss out" argument because, by that logic, we should all go play every single Call of Duty right now.

There were times it was all I could do just to be able to tell what was happening. Eat your heart out, MK8 anti-gravity. And yet ironically, it was the second easiest level on the cup. Hardest was probably the last one. 14:14 hurt me as much watching it now as it did last night. Funny how Princia was the one who almost snatched victory from me. Girl got a taste of glory a year ago and didn't want to give it up. ...Also, Miss Arrow's expert video is super fucking horny.
