Social NintenZone Social 5 - Thanks, Everyone

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

The amount of people who want Merric kicked from the five star Hero pool is kind of sad. Merric did nothing wrong, I say.

As far as I'm concerned if he has a legendary weapon or is incredibly plot important, he can stay. And hey look, Excalibur. Poor Eliwood though. Main lord with a legendary weapon, and he literally can't be pulled at five stars...

Please demote Genny to four stars so I can get her, IS.

I'd trade my Genny for a Ryoma or a Hector, if you have one, and if we were able to.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Found out a action figure exists.

The question is should I get it?

Depends. Do you want to give characters a PHD in ***kicking?

 

[praline]

I wish the rpg maker had more options for enemies and characters and stuff.

It's kinda expensive for what it is, and all it is doing is making me want to get a laptop to get a real rpg maker.

 

[Opossum]

I'd trade my Genny for a Ryoma or a Hector, if you have one, and if we were able to.

If we were able to do that and I had one of them, I'd do it. No lie.


I'm ready to roll, IS. Let me roll.

 

[Ivander]

If we were able to do that and I had one of them, I'd do it. No lie.


I'm ready to roll, IS. Let me roll.

Well, get ready to roll.....once you finish the Lunatic Challenges. Each set has 8 Orbs altogether. With the current Chain Challenges, you can get 72 Orbs altogether. 74 if you include the Squad Assault.

 

[Robertman2]

Beat the second boss in Persona 5.

There's something really satisfying about defeating a boss in an RPG.

I'm still liking the game quite a bit, it's been smooth sailing for the most part.

Pro tip: romance Kawakami

1 5 star....hawkeye....who is trash

Death Blow is pretty neat, though. I'd like a 5* Hawkeye very much, so I can finish off my Brave Axe +Atk Cherche. If only you could sacrifice Alfonse for skill inheritance.

Speaking of which, I had to try and salvage him in a hurry just so I could drag my arena scores above the 680 point mark. Every point counts if I want to stand a chance of making tier 20 next season. Gave him a Brave Sword+ and Drag Back, so it's basically the same idea as Cherche. (Still need some more SP to round out the missing skills, but you get the idea.)

If this works and I do manage to make tier 20, though, I'll 5* him first thing next Tuesday. If not, straight back on the bench he goes.

The Squad Assault ended up being much easier than it was made up to be, I thought. You don't even need 20 maxed-out units to get by, on stuff like the first map you only need two or three solid units and can throw in some level 1 filler units just to make up the spots. Useful if you don't have 20 strong units yet. You do need to have all 20 units survive, though, so if you bring filler units make sure to keep them out of harm's way. You can at least preview maps before starting them, so that helps.

Spoiler

Start of the Tempest Trials:

Faye: Alm! Oh, I'm so glad you're safe. You're not hurt, are you?
Alm: No, I'm fine. But what was that? Some sort of earthquake?
Clair: I have no idea. From the sky, it looked like the whole continent was splitting in two... It looked like the end of the world.
Alm: Let's search for everyone else. They're probably worried.
"Marth": To worry for your friends even in such a desperate situation... You are the ray of hope I seek.
Alm: Huh?
"Marth": You are Alm, another Hero-King and wielder of the Falchion, are you not?
Alm: And you are?
"Marth": Marth... My name is Marth. Heed my words, Heroes from the World of Shadows. The calamity that split your world... was caused by the Tempest. If you lend me your strength, we can restore your land.

After the Tempest Trials:

Alm: The Tempest seems to be getting weaker.
"Marth": Your Falchion cut through its chaos. However, we are only half-done. Your world's gods have given Valentia two faces. I must seek her out... the other Hero. Your counterpart.
Alm: You mean... her?
"Marth": The Celica we just fought is from another world. You could consider her just one possibility... Now that she's free from the Tempest, she should be back to normal and in her own world. However, the Celica of legend—the Celica you know—is fighting the Tempest as we speak. I must go to her aid.
Alm: Wait! Celica is my friend. Ever since we were children... Protecting her is my responsibility. I'm coming with you.
"Marth": Hmm... It is said that the Falchion is a blade forged from the fang of a divine dragon. So together we possess two fangs... That's surely enough to cleave the Tempest's chaos. Let us go.

"The Celica we just fought - is she going to be the final boss this time?

 

[Aetheri]

Cleared the Trials of the Sword

Spoiler

Disappointed there was no desert sequence with a Molduga boss...but it was pretty fun either way but as far as challenge goes it's not nearly as bad as Twilight Princess's Cave of Ordeals with it's Four Darknuts at the end...

The fact they actually give you six ancient arrows made some levels easier than they should've been, and if you're smart you'll have plenty of fairies and weapons to deal with pretty much anything anyways...Only had an issue in the final levels because apparently I suck at timing for the Guardian's lasers...one cheeky guardian shot me again immediately after breaking one of my shields and wasted one of my fairies...

Of course after clearing the Trials of the Sword I went ham with the Master Sword beating the crap out of it to see if it'll break or how long it'll last and while it did break eventually it did take quite a bit of a beating before it did...basically at this point there's no reason not to use the Master Sword if it hasn't broken yet...and then I have ten minutes to use all of the other weapons I have...

And found like 20 more Koroks thanks to the Korok mask and the Hero's Path feature...

 

[praline]

welp i decided to prove that the summr banner is a trap by blowing 65 orbs on it i got a bunch of 4 star trash 2 3 star trash and 1 5 star....hawkeye....who is trash

Huh I did the same and got Summer Tikie, Summer Robin and 2 Summer Gaius'.

Based on the ending dialogue for the Tempest Trial...

It sounds like Lucina is basically the Nick Fury to Alm's Tony Stark.

 

[Ivander]

So I've been looking at some things:
-Besides 72 Orbs for Lunatic, if you do all of the Normal and Hard Chain Challenges, you get 21600 Hero Feathers altogether. 7200 for Normal and 14400 for Hard.
-If you are using a low-level character on an Story Map that you've beaten, defeating a Level 40 Lunatic character gives 300 EXP rather than 200. If you have a character defeat 4 enemies, you get 1200 EXP altogether. I tested this with a Red Sword character on Paralogue 4 Part 1.
-So Staff EXP has increased ALOT. Before, if a Healer healed without any Specials, they got 180 EXP. If you heal now without any specials, you get 600 EXP. With Specials every 2nd turn before Patch, a healer got around 222 EXP. After Patch, my healer got 740 EXP. Basically, healers are going to level up very fast now.

It's a D pad.

If it hurts you, that's on you.

Or maybe, just maybe...
A 3D game shouldn't use a D-Pad as it makes precise controls near impossible
Huh. Power Rangers DVDs has been selling like hot cakes, more than Beauty and the Beast and Jon Wick. In terms of rentals they've been selling more than Logan too. The movie's not even out yet in Japan, who used recognizable VAs for the movie too. Pleeeaaaaaase mean a sequel.

So this 3ds rpg maker is gonna have like dlc or something eventually? Looks that way atleast.

I wish the rpg maker had more options for enemies and characters and stuff.

It's kinda expensive for what it is, and all it is doing is making me want to get a laptop to get a real rpg maker.

There's a good amount of RPG Maker dlc actually, just not released on the NA server yet for unknown reasons.
In Europe they had all the dlc released near launch, it was all half off for the first 2 weeks, and they had about 4 free dlc packs. It'll probably be the same in NA...whenever NIS gets it up.

A good amount of screens for the dlc can be found over here.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Oh, I found out Ghast doesn't like Ike or Path of Radiance. Considering how people take his word as gospel, I can already imagine how much **** will start with the old fans, and the elitist part of the fandom isn't even in the wrong for once

 

[Mythra]

The Universe Survival arc keeps getting lit.

 

[mario123007]

I found something weird on my Switch... or I maybe shouldn't say weird but hear me out
I remember I was playing my Cave Story+ yesterday and I didn't play too long, I stopped playing when my Switch battery was around 86% and shut its power off. I didn't charge it at all, today I open my Switch and the battery was at 99%, it wasn't the battery present bug since I put it into sleep mode for a while and reopen it it was still around 98%. So that made me wonder, the Switch can charge Joy Con when it is opened, can the Joy Cons charge the console itself when it is shutdown?

Yeah, some peoples are really T R I G G E R E D.

But hey, I'm not going to go deeply into SJW stuff this time. I learned my lesson and I'm not fully awaken yet, so, it kinda suck I guess?

What happened with Dragon Maid?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

What happened with Dragon Maid?

The dub made a patriarchy joke about that one character with the gigantic breasts, something about society forcing the character to cover up before being begged not to by the same people.
This very same dub used the word cuckold too btw

 

[Metal Shop X]

What happened with Dragon Maid?

From what I understand, some dialogue in the dub have been changed in a way that it-
*See Gwen post*
Dang it Gwen.

 

[ChikoLad]

I realised Sakura was part of the Arena bonus characters so I threw her in there and did a run and managed to shoot up to top 200 in my tier easily.

I can still improve upon this since there were two matches where I played very badly but just managed to clutch it with one character left.

I also need to hope for some Defense results. I'll put Sakura in that team too.

Did another pull in FE Heroes.

I didn't get Alm, but I got something that might be just as good.

Looks like my 4-Star Chrom won't be needing my Feathers.

Chrom's physical tankiness could be really useful in all of the new modes too.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Oh

I thought this'd be about the dub making Kobayashi straight.

About this.

Dub didn't make her straight. She's "straight" in the Japanese version too.

In Japan, saying "but we're both girls" is essentially implying that there's no interest in the opposite sex. We, as westerners don't get that, but in Japanese culture, the implication is there.

It was essentially the same objection just phrased differently.

Sailor Moon sure was a FAMILY anime, considering all the stuff they put in without caring like the COUSINS

The dub made a patriarchy joke about that one character with the gigantic breasts, something about society forcing the character to cover up before being begged not to by the same people.

The subs already used it though

And it's actually accurate considering she calls Kobayashi a "netorare"

Oh

I thought this'd be about the dub making Kobayashi straight.

Kobayashi is straight tho? I mean, I've only seen the first two eps but she denied all of Tohru's advances.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Kobayashi is straight tho? I mean, I've only seen the first two eps but she denied all of Tohru's advances.

She ends up being more open to Tohru and at least loves her platonically and as a member of the family.

Whether or not that expands to romance or sexual feelings is up to debate. The show doesn't touch on that aspect. Kobayashi's ultimate realization is how much she loves having Tohru around and how the dragons have changed her life for the better.

That said, she does start off completely rejecting Tohru's advances and for the most part continues to do so throughout the series, though that could be because Tohru can be freaking weird with her advances.

 

[Deleted member]

, though that could be because Tohru can be freaking weird with her advances.

What do you mean you don't want her to wash your clothes for you? Or to vore eat her tail?

Besides, this series would have taken a very different turn if she did like Tohru that way

Today I watched Spiderman: Homecoming, Taiwan's release date is three days earlier than US.

People don't automatically "take his word at gospel," or at least not from what I've seen. He's pretty well respected in the community, but not worshipped. He's allowed to have opinions.
