Fire Emblem obsession question mark

She doesn't even know what Fire Emblem is, when I asked her.

 

[Yoship]

She doesn't know what Fire Emblem is, when I asked her.

I almost find that a lie, considering how uncommon Lucina is..

 

[Kenith]

So some staggering coincidence has occurred IRL.

My Psychology teacher just now told us of her pregnancy.

Guess what she wants to name the child that is confirmed a girl.

Spoiler: I am not ****ing you

Lucina.

Spoiler: but wait there's more staggering coincidence

After naming her fist child, a boy, Morgan.

Pics or it didn't happen :kappa:

 

[LIQUID12A]

Believe what you will, she's never touched a video game.

Though her son knows Mario and all that. I've met her son myself and can confirm he doesn't know what Fire Emblem is.

So still coincidence.

 

[Moydow]

BTW, Pursuit ~ Cornered is amazing.

This whole album is amazing - a bunch of remixes of tracks from the first game.

 

[Syrek]

Syrek is so cute.

Have this baby Yarne

Spoiler

Now this thread is overrun with cuteness.

A BABY YARNE!?!? SQUUUUUUUEEEEEEEE!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Your far too kind, m'lady. I'm just being myself, but thank you for the wonderful compliment and that adorable pic. ^w^

By the way, your pretty cute as well.

Sounds like your teacher has excellent taste in names. :3 I approve whole heartily!

You're just gonna have to believe me on this one, as coincidental as it is. Though if you want pics, I can always show you the ultrasound she showed us. Jk I'm not doing that.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Incase it might surprise ya, the school I attend ATM is called Lucina Hagmann's.

Though TBH, it never makes me think of Lucina... I mean, the actual person the school got it's name from from looks like this:

On SSE, I wish we got an actual Smash Bros RPG-game. Preferably with character interaction a plenty and some cross off Smash bros's battlefield-based fighting system combined wall breaker gameplay from Namco X Capcom and Project X Zone.

 

[Drakonis]

Funny thing is that everyone here seems to love Subspace Emissary.
Even outside ths thread i see people praising it now that is gone.
Yet back when Brawl came out it was bashed to no end with people saying that it wasn't well fleshed out, took much development time, was really bland, etc...
I guess that could be extended to Brawl in general now though, i guess we could call it the Smash cycle

I actually still don't like Subspace that much.
Gameplay-wise, there's a lot of wasted potential. I wouldn't want to replay it.

But the Boss battles and Cutscenes where awesome.
I'd say it would've been a good basis to expand upon. Up the enemy variety in the same way they did for Smash run, add more cutscenes, maybe even dialogue between the characters that do talk.
Maybe do something interesting with the lives system. Maybe have the starting roster be limited, and every now and again you would stumble upon a way to rescue a character, adding him/her/it to the stock count.

There's a lot of cool things they could do.

But the thing I'd want to see the most is character interaction. Just have them do something that isn't fighting.

Since the 3DS is now 4 years old, I'd like everyone who wants to participate to list they're top ten 3DS games, or top five if you so desire.

1. Fire Emblem: Awakening (How could I not put it here?)
2. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (Asking the question: Why not make grinding fun by letting every fight be a boss fight?)
3. The Legend of Zelda: A Link between Worlds (Technicly I like MM3D more but ALbW is very well made and doesn't have years of nostalgia behind it's back)
4. Tales of the Abyss (Jade!

)
8. Bravely Default (Old School RPG goodness)
5. Kid Icarus: Uprising (If only you had decent controls...)
6. Super Smash Bros 4 3DS (If only you wheren't mostly made obsolete by the WiiU version...)
7. Mario Kart 7 (Not amazing, but still a good entry in the series)
8. Theathrythm Curtain Call: Final Fantasy (Surprisingly addicting... also, Uematsu!

)
9. Pokémon X/Y (great game, lengthy story mode, sadly no post game)
10. Lylat Wars 3D/Ocarina of Time 3D/Majora's Mask 3D (All of which are collected at number 10 due to being remakes.)

Not counting Cave Story or Shovel Knight, since they are multiplatform. Though they both would rank very high.

This whole album is amazing - a bunch of remixes of tracks from the first game.

I love pretty much all the Ace Attorney music.
It really helped from keeping the burnout in check when I played Pheonix Wright 2 right after 1.

They did a pretty impressive job with the remix! It's absolutely incredible!

So still coincidence.

It's a pretty major one...
Lucina is a pretty uncommon name, but it's apparently a real one... (I didn't know that until now)

 

[Moydow]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucina_(goddess)

In ancient Roman religion and myth, Lucina was the goddess of childbirth who safeguarded the lives of women in labour. Lucina was also an epithet for Juno. The name was generally taken to mean "she who brings children into the light" (Latin: lux, lucis, "light"), but may actually have been derived from lucus ("grove") after a sacred grove of lotus trees on the Esquiline Hill associated with the goddess.

"she who brings children into the light" - hence where they took the name from in the game.

 

[Mr. Johan]

My favorite Cornered! track is Petunia Under Attack.

As for top 3DS games?

1) FE: Awakening (at the very least, it's the one I keep coming back to over and over)
2) Link Between Worlds
3) Kirby Triple Deluxe
4) Shin Megami Tensei IV
5) Pokemon Omega Ruby
6) Kid Icarus Uprising
7) Super Mario 3D Land

 

[Drakonis]

My favorite Cornered! track is Petunia Under Attack.

Kinda sounds like Pheonix Wright vs. Mortal Kombat vs. The flutes they liked to use during the GC Mario games

 

[the king of murder]

You are right. XD
The beginning totally reminds me of the cornered theme of Ace Attorney.

 

[LIQUID12A]

It's a pretty major one...
Lucina is a pretty uncommon name, but it's apparently a real one... (I didn't know that until now)

Which is why, adding on to the fact that she's never played a video game, that it took me by surprise.

Peers said I looked outright astonished when she declared it when they were all like "eh, sure".

 

[RadiantTactician]

Dang I missed quite a bit.

When it comes to each of the Smash games, it's hard for me to day a definitive best; each one had their own strengths and weaknesses. Smash 4 is my favorite of the bunch because I love the refined mechanics and amazing roster, but its single player offerings are just atrocious imo. Still doesn't really damper the fun I've had online with friends, which is the biggest improvement. While I'm not a fan of Subspace, I would really take another deep campaign like that again, or even Melee's adventure mode, over the stupid Orders and Smash Run/Tour. Speaking of the 3DS mode, it would've been moderately decent if there was an online option, but as it is, it's completely useless.

Favorite Subspace moment? Other than Lucario's hilarious encounter with Snake (because peeps already mentioned it), it's when Ike wrecks that Subspace Bomb with Aether, with Eternal Bond playing in the background.

Now for top 3DS games:

1. Fire Emblem Awakening
2. Kid Icarus Uprising
3. Pokémon Omega Ruby
4. Donkey Kong Country Returns
5. Gunman Clive
6. Super Smash Bros for 3DS
7. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked
8. Tomodachi Life
9. Pushmo
10. Bravely Default

This list will most likely be updated once I've finished Codename STEAM and Sakura Samurai, and possibly Persona Q when I'm done with 4.

For Alts here's what I want:
and : Shiny forms
: Any of his past looks that isn't from Command, especially from Assault and/or Adventures; gawds, do I hate his current design.
: Fat Ganondorf from Wind Waker, or his gloriousness from Hyrule Warriors
: His younger build from Path of Radiance, with the lord promotion, or Vanguard from Radiant Dawn
: Adopt his OoT design from Melee
: Yukata from the DLC, or more color variations. Like I mentioned several pages back, I would love to see one of Titania's colors, or other FE ladies not from Awakening.
: Mr. L
: His FE1 design
: More outfits plz
: More color variations, would love to see Soren's and Micaiah's colors.

Everyone should really have the option to be bare like a certain wielder of the Monado, so all the Smashers can be really feeling it!

I almost find that a lie, considering how uncommon Lucina is..

It's not that uncommon where I live Oo (albeit, Lucia is the more popular variant) and it was a pretty popular name in the late's nineteenth century. My great-grandmother was called Lucina, and she was from Italy, I think.

 

[Mr. Johan]

: His FE1 design

Fund it.

Oh, the "no-pants" jokes that could and would be made with that.

 

[ThunderSageNun]

I liked it overall; Blackquill was great (the main prosecutor needs to be a strong character), and I like Apollo more after DD than I did in AJ. The cases and overall quality of the writing were what mainly let it down in my opinion - the witnesses weren't as funny or memorable, the killer in case 3 was obvious the moment they appeared. Especially the second case - that one is right down at the bottom with the circus case from JfA and case 2 from AJ (and even those had a few decent moments).

I already had my rant on AJ here, and while I probably have a more favourable opinion of ME1 than most, it's still not that great. Those two meant I went into DD with fairly low expectations (hadn't played GK2 at that point, which is far better than any of those three), so I was pleasantly surprised, but I noticed the parts I disliked much more readily.

I was pretty indifferent about the voice acting for the most part. Edgeworth's was awful though - completely the wrong guy for the job. Not sure how much of that I could listen to if they went Awakening-style with the voice acting, and full voice acting would probably have made me mute the final case

The soundtrack was awesome, though - one of, if not the strongest in the series.

Fully agreed on the points of Trucy and Apollos relationship, Phoenix overall personality and the defendant of the 2nd case (god damn I hated that brat you had to defend), I have a lot more of complaints against the game, but I had a bias towards AJ even before playing, there was just something about it that gave me the wrong vibes and I was right
Edgeworth voice in AA5 was atrocious, even my girlfriend (as much of a fangirl as she is for him) was disgusted with what they gave him

And the soundtrack in DD was indeed awesome, probably only 2nd to the first game if you ask me, the game as a whole just had great production values.

 

[Kotor]

She doesn't even know what Fire Emblem is, when I asked her.

What about the husband?

 

[LIQUID12A]

What about the husband?

Neither does he. Their knowledge of video games goes as far as Mario, Sonic, and some of Pokemon by virtue of the son.

So no, they don't know. And the son doesn't have Awakening either.

Extreme coincidence, I swear.

 

[Mr. Johan]

A friend of mine named her first daughter Anna, and unless she's changed her mind, she's naming her second child Robin.

Not a coincidence though, she and her husband know about Fire Emblem. Could you imagine though?

 

[LIQUID12A]

I think it's nice when people name their children after movies/books/video games.
The name had some meaning to the parents, so it's better than saying "it sounds good", imo (I don't have anything against this kind of thing, mind you).
and who doesn't want to be named after

Also, if I remember right, Zelda Williams was named after , too.

 

[Mr. Johan]

I won't lie, I have considered naming my firstborn Robin.

Only if its a girl though. My family has a tradition of naming the first son in the new generation Robert, so if the firstborn is a boy, he's getting that name. But if the firstborn's a girl, I was wanting to stick with the "Rob" prefix, and Robin/Robyn is perfect for that.


lol, I've already got baby names in line, and I'm still single. =P

 

[Wintropy]

I wanted to call my firstborn daughter Snowie, but my family vetoed it.

Contingency plan remains Sophie~ :3

 

[Chapter Serf]

*Stuff removed*

MARTH...
MUST...
HAVE...
PANTS...

I COMMAND IT...

 

[Elezir]

Well, where I live Robin would be extremely unusual for a female's name, since it's not really unisex here as it's in English.
So, only if it's a male. and even so, the name's still a bit unusual.
As for female, Lucina wouldn't be unusual at all.

 

[Deleted member]

If I have 2 girls, I'm dead set on naming them Lucina and Robin. c': /nerd

 

[Chapter Serf]

I need to find a girl friend and get married before I start worrying about kids' names.

 

[Coolpool2]

If I ever had a child I might want to name them after my favourite video game character, but I would fear having to explain that to the child.

 

[Kenith]

I don't have plans for baby names.
And I never will.

inb4 lecture about how I just have to right girl for me :kappa:

 

[LIQUID12A]

If I ever had a son, I'd name him Johnathan.

I like that name.

 

[AirshBornely]

My top 10 3DS games?
1. Fire Emblem: Awakening
2. Kid Icarus: Uprising
3. Kirby Triple Deluxe
4. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
5. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
6. Super Mario 3D Land
7. A Link Between Worlds
8. DKCR 3D
9. Super Smash Bros. for 3DS
10. Pokemon Omega Ruby

I dunno if putting DKCR is considered cheating. I would have put in the Ace Attorney Trilogy, but I dunno if that is considered cheating as well and I am just on the first game. I'm enjoying it so far! I am currently on the fourth chapter of the first game (Turnabout Goodbyes).
BTW, Pursuit ~ Cornered is amazing.

Ah! Good to hear you're man!! :D


Er...is it worth getting the Ace Attorney Trilogy even if I've already finished the first 2 games and partially started in T&T? (Tried playing T&T on iOS, but it doesn't sit right with me..) If the game is on a discount sometime, I'll like to get it.

Not to turn this into an Ace Attorney discussion thread, but I swear I go back and forth with Dual Destinies all the time. I definitely like it and I love Athena and Simon, but looking back at the cases, they really feel...off for the series standard, I don't dislike them like those in Apollo Justice and most of the first Miles Edgeworth, but they are far from reaching the same spots as the most of the cases in the original trilogy. When I first played it, it was my favorite 3DS game, but now I definitely notice a lot more of its writing faults (not to forget they really missed an opportunity with the 3DS carts not using more voice acting, even if it didn't end up being that great, I feel some more time getting used to the characters could have given at least a slightly better outcome.

DD cases felt off for me as well. Still enjoyable. (Is to tried and lazy to type all my thoughts about it)

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

If you want your child to be destined for failure, name them Zelda

Btw, top 3DS games:
1. Fire Emblem Awakening
2. Fire Emblem Awakening
3. Fire Emblem Awakening
4. Fire Emblem Awakening
5. Kid Icarus: Uprising

:')

The 3DS version has an updated translation (no more blind-idiot JfA grammar/"the miracle never happen"), the ability to play in Japanese, and the redrawn iOS graphics, but no changes to the actual games, so if you already have them somewhere else, it may not be worth it. It was on sale on the eShop until recently, but it's gone back up in price now.
----
In other news, I just played F-Zero GX for the first time in ages. Probably a bad idea to go straight in with the snaking (gawds, the paaaaaiiin), but I did beat my previous record around Mute City 1: 0'53''539, with all three laps under 20 seconds, best lap of 0'15''621, and top speed of 2910 km/h. I'm sure I can knock another second or two off that though, maybe even get it down to a round 50.

Edit: just did 0'51''889. I AM FEELING IT

 

[redfeatherraven]

Ah! Good to hear you're man!! :D

He's man.

Well, I guess he is.

 

[False Sense]

Can't say I have any ideas for names for future children. Not something I've thought about much.

If I ever had a son, I'd name him Johnathan.

I like that name.
