    • RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes

      Togashi should try to summarize a fuck ton of these dialogues, and actually give us some more development each chapter. I don't mind having some dialogue heavy chapters, but if every single one of them are like this, and we literally go nowhere with any of them, it becomes a problem.

      If they see the ship is destroyed, they are less likely to approach, at least for people who have no attachment to their ships. Obviously getting the Sunny destroyed, would make Luffy flip shit, but they have no way to know that.

    • RE: SQUARE ENIX - Single Player RPGs are dead?

      @Green_vs_Red:

      So I'm currently going through Trope entries on FFXIII-2, Lightning Returns. & XV…..

      ! and all I gotta ask is what with the recurring downer/bittersweet endings?….I mean they're not necessarily new given how VII and X went but is there any other Final Fantasy games that are you know a bit less somber or depressing?.....besides probably X-2. I mean the true endings to the SMT games don't hit you in the face so as the some of the endings to these games do..

      I have so many mixed feelings about XIII-2 ending. It felt like a total sucker punch at first, but then again

      ! Caius managed to do what he wanted, and he's such an awesome villain and his backstory is endearing to me so I really dunno.

      Sanji's such and ass, he should just try and beat the shit out of everyone. Why does he even care about that old shit face back in East Blue? That shitlord did nothing for him, he doesn't deserve it. Sanji should man up and fight. Why is he even scared to lose his hands? He could still cook with his feet. Just got those guys along his crew, because they sure as hell are ready take out an Yonkou head on this early even without the rest of their crew! Fuck the 'stache guy!

      I don't think it would matter, as being under a Yonkou's wing is that good of a deal on itself, and if Big Mom wanted, it's not like she couldn't twist it around to have her daughters have multiple husbands too.

      What I wonder about Big Mom is, if she's so into arranged marriages, why doesn't she go fully into it and start having her kids get into polygamous marriages? Instead of having to pump out a new kid every time she needs to set up a new marriage.

      And yes, I have a Rescue staff. Although at this rate I don't think I'm going to beat Conquest before Pokemon comes out. I'll just have to take a break and when I've leeched every bit out of the main game I'll put Pokemon down and try again.

      Your best shot is trying to one round it with tactical dancing and a rescue staff to reach Takumi and finish him off.

    • RE: SQUARE ENIX - Single Player RPGs are dead?

      Speaking of turn-based… I'm not that big into turn-based battles, but what FFXIII-2 had was a pretty enjoyable battle system (probably not a very popular opinion, I know). It kinda worked like a turn-base, but at the same time it had something else to it, whereas you had to play around it quite a bit depending on what mons you were fighting and I quite enjoyed it. Wish we could get back to that.

    • RE: General Fire Emblem Thread - At Least Mario Got a Funeral

      My Velouria was awesome too, Beruka's daughter, so it was to be expected. She did an awesome job ever since I got her into the team.

      –- Update From New Post Merge ---

      @Yobiyopi:

      Conquest Lunatic is only doable if you build a team to cheese the last map, otherwise your life will be miserable. Without ruining too much what you must do, just keep at least one rescue stave and use the Boots very carefully (there are videos that can tell you what to do in detail anyway).

      I managed to finish it and i would say that the hardest chapters are: 7 (the forest one), 10 as we all know, 24 in the wall section (because of a certain nasty surprise), 26 may be the most infuriating since how long it can drag too, and the very last one is just unfair in every way without the cheese. Between 10 and 24 its not that hard, maybe Kotaro's dungeon can also be pretty bad for how long that is too (and the same can be said for the wind chapter). But as long as you use very few selected dudes and have a strong Velouria it's not as intimidating as chapter 7 will make it seem. It's also up to you to decide wether to rely on a healer and keeping them alive, or investing even more money on potions and such with a bit of Azura's skill.

      It's going to take me a while to muster enough strength to go through it on Lunatic. There were some chapters were I already felt like they were bullshit enough on hard. And I'll probably need to think up some good builds for most characters to not get too frustrated.

    • RE: General Fire Emblem Thread - At Least Mario Got a Funeral

      Finally finished my Conquest Hard playthrough. Phew!!

      Chapter 26 in a nutshell: Kaze paired with Mozu championed the right side by themselves, while literally everyone else took the left side. Passing through the Faceless, I let Velouria and Xander (Lodestar Xander is too good!!) control the corridor, and except for the Generals with Beast Killers they could barely harm them. After a few times of having Velouria murdered by those damn Generals with Beast Killers, I learned my lesson and wasn't leaving them a chance of hitting her twice per turn so it was a breeze after that. Hanz was destroyed by Xander in one turn lewl, and even Iago wasn't much of a threat.

      Now, Chapter 27, wasn't that bad either, but having to go through it, and then endgame was really annoying, especially because I wasn't really being able to consistently beat it. So I just decided to try and cheese the Endgame with a one turn. The strategy was this, have Elise entrap one General, have Beruka lunge him out of the way. Niles+Selena going ahead, singed by Azura (with Warp. I know, I couldn't be any cheesier), then have Corrin close up, do shelter and transfer shenanigans to sing again for Corrin. Have Niles go on ahead, switch to Selena and Rescue Corrin. Then attack Takumi, the problem was, I needed two Dragon Fangs (I also had Quixotic, so I had good odds going on to it) procs to actually one turn him, so it took me few tries, and a lot of flubs before even reaching him. Aaaaand in the end, I can't recall on what I exactly did wrong, but I messed up my chance of reaching Takumi in the first turn, but I managed miraculously save it (cough lots of lucks involved), and survive the first turn without casualties. Then went on ahead with the Selena rescue and attack Takumi with Corrin. And I also had Azura ready to sing again for Corrin so there was no way to mess it up. Sure enough the one time I didn't need, Corrin got the two Dragon Fangs I wanted before, and Takumi didn't even got Vengeance like the other 5 times xD

      And since I'm here, how does Birthright and Revelations Lunatic compares to Conquest Hard? Is about as hard? I'm thinking on doing Lunatic runs on all three routes, but I don't know if I'll put up the effort of doing Birthright and Revelations twice…

    • RE: The Nintendo Thread

      So, how will the touchscreen work when the Switch is docked? While connected to your TV the Switch itself is out of reach – you play either with both JoyCon controllers attached to the system’s grip or with a Pro Controller. The Switch’s touchscreen is almost entirely obscured within the console’s dock.

      The answer may lie hidden in the right-hand JoyCon, which houses a short-range IR sensor in its base. This could be used to point at the TV to replicate basic touchscreen functionality, picked up by a corresponding IR sensor in the Switch’s dock.

      Because actually using the screen's touch screen directly would be too complicated.

      How people can even expect Sanji to act calm and collected when all this shit is happening to him? He's back to his god awful family, they are threatening to take his hands away, and on top of all that, they have him blackmailed with Zeff.

      Sanji is a emotional wreck right now, and he just tried his hardest to put up a facade, while knowing Luffy wouldn't back down, and probably just put him in an even worst spot.

      Hanasaku Iroha@Zar:

      I was going to say I haven't seen a lot of anime, and then it turns out I saw half of them (FLCL & Tokyo Godfathers) 👅 But thank you! And in my case it's actually better if it's leans more towards comedy than drama, so it sounds like Tatami Galaxy is the one for me. I know I've been interested in that one before (the intro and outro are very memorable).

      And if anyone comes up with more examples, I'm happy to hear them. The more the merrier!

      I think this one fits pretty well what you asked in the earlier post, Hanasaku Iroha. I found it while hitting the random button on crunchryroll, it's a SoL and I've come to like pretty much all characters. I don't want to put your hopes up to high, but I reaaaaly liked it xD
