DIU FINALE INCOMING

Are you ready hey
are you ready for this.
Are you hangin' on the edge of your seat?
BECAUSE I SURE DO, LET'S GO DUWANG GANG!!

 

[Chrono.]

Final episode is up.

RIP Zygarde.

 

[Coricus]

I don't want to continue the debate, but the way the IP laws currently are, it makes it so that people are punished for showing passion and creativity. They need reform.

It doesn't make sense for multiple rom sites to be up and running while Uranium and Prism get C&D'd.

I'm on the opposite side of the debate and even I can't help but agree with the last sentence.

Deal with the big problems first and then evaluate the borderline stuff. Heck, Prism wouldn't even be as much of an issue if they dealt with what makes it a problem in the first place. I can reason out why Nintendo is worried about some projects, but the fact that they won't even touch much more blatantly illegal stuff despite having an entire website to report it is baffling and disappointing. . .and, uh. . . pessimistic whiny overly negative boo boo words.

[MF Viewtiful]

Final episode is up.

RIP Zygarde.

Pretty good episode I'd say. Trainer AZ was the best character in X/Y for me so it's cool to see his story adapted pretty decently in my opinion. A good conclusion to the series. I do wish Sun/Moon were covered somehow. I'd love to see more material on the ultrabeasts and such.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Kinda fitting that the Kalos episodes were the weakest Generations episodes

 

[Volga]

Half Genie Hero came out recently, it's great

The new Shantae game right?
I actually have Pirate's Curse(I think that's the previous one) sitting on my Wii U. I haven't gotten around to playing it yet for some reason.
maybe I should today before going for the next one in the line.

 

[Coricus]

welp
make that 120$.

When in doubt, throw it into the Switch fund.

Or the angel fund.

 

[Fluttershy]

So... I have FE Birthright now.

Anything I should keep in mind? Anything I should watch out for? Any waifu suggestions?

Sakura is best Sibling
I'd also recommend having Corrin marry Kaden so you can have one of the two best children (Selkie) as your daughter the other one is in Conquest and her Father is Keaton
also get Kaze up to A rank before starting Chapter 15 and He'll perform a Dance for Corrin.

They're very different, but Risky Mode (free DLC for HGH coming soon) will likely be similar, it's a great game

 

[Z25]

Generations was nice. It was cool to see the story play out in the anime style.

I really hope we get a series of Alola shorts but we probably won't.

 

[Opossum]

It's confirmed we won't. They said Generations would run through 12/23, or today.

 

[Chrono.]

Generations thoughts.

Spoiler

Not gonna lie I thought that was a pretty boring episode, just like the other Kalos ones.

But maybe I just never cared much for AZ and Floette.

That being said, I found Generations enjoyable as a whole and I will miss it.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I just read what happened to Invanka Trump and her children,

Even if you disagree with everything the Trumps stand for, what happened was just mean.

Don't repay meanness with meanness.

The dude isnt even in office nor has he even DONE anything yet and people are already being asshats to his family

 

[FalKoopa]

I'm on the opposite side of the debate and even I can't help but agree with the last sentence.

I think it's partly to do with that piracy sites seem to operate from outside the US, which prevents NOA from doing anything. So it simply goes for the smaller fry.

NOJ don't seem to care. Japan has a vibrant doujin scene and there people actually sell unauthorised fan games and fan stuff there, and companies seem reluctant to go after them.

I do wonder how the situation will play out if a prominent fan game is made in Europe, whose copyright laws are rather relaxed. NOA can't impose DMCA there.

[Opossum]

He picked a climate change denier and fossil fuel advocate as the head of the EPA.

Not saying going after his family is right, but to say he hasn't done anything yet to deserve criticism isn't correct.

I say he hasn't done anything because he isnt even in office yet. Me and my sister basically are on the " We will support him as long as he doesn't instigate people to kill one another and blah blah blah" Thats all I'll say because me saying that made me lose a "friend" because apparently, continuing to try and think positive isn't allowed right now

Lol probably Monday. You looking for anything?

 

[Erureido]

So... I have FE Birthright now.

Anything I should keep in mind? Anything I should watch out for? Any waifu suggestions?

Going to break this down into several parts since I've got a lot to say.

Spoiler: The Units

Ryoma, Takumi, and Oboro are the best units you'll get in the game. Ryoma is so OP that, when you get him early on, I only recommend using him when the situation gets critical. Takumi can pretty much one shot everything thanks to his Fujin Yumi, which also lets him ignore terrain effects, but keep in mind he still has the same archer issue. Oboro turns into one of the best tanks in the game when she promotes into Spear Master. Also, give Hinoka's Guard Naginata to Oboro. That weapon really makes Oboro shine as a tank.

Hinoka is the best Pegasus Knight you'll get in this route, and she also makes a really good Spear Master (the Spear Fighter class is her secondary class). She'll have better HP and Resistance than Oboro in this form, with Oboro's only advantage is a slight edge in Defense.

Sakura is also really good too. She's decent as an Onmyoji, but she also does really well as a Priestess. You won't get a Shining Bow in Birthright, but if you do promote Sakura into Priestess, I recommend trying to find a Shining Bow from someone else using the My Castle feature. Priestess Sakura + Shining Bow = Total monster.

Kagero is the best ninja you'll get in the game thanks to her really high Strength stat combined with high Speed and high Resistance to highlight what makes a ninja shine. She also makes a really good mom if you're looking for a physical-oriented child due to providing the highest Strength mods out of all the Birthright females. Saizo is also pretty solid. His main advantage compared to Kaze and Kagero is that he has a good Magic stat to make use of Flaming Shurikens, and he is the bulkiest of the ninja trio. Kaze has the best speed and is generally the best all around.

Orochi hits hard due to her high magic stat, but her speed is a big issue for her. Hayato can turn into a pretty good unit if you take the time to grind him up when you first get him (he arrives at level 1 by the end of Chapter 8). In my experience, Hayato ended up being the more useful mage for me due to his better speed stat combined with solid magic (he is a much better unit in Revelation though).

Kaden is the beastkin unit you will get in this route, and he also does pretty well as a unit. He's another anti-mage unit who has incredibly high resistance and decent Strength, and he also has a really good Speed stat combined with a nice Skill stat. His Defense stat is not the best though, and similar to Ryoma, Kaden makes up for his low Defenses by being a pretty evasive unit (though Ryoma is more evasive). If you want to combat the low Defense on Kaden, I recommend giving him the Beastrune when you get around mid-game. It gives him a nice Defense boost while still allowing him to hit well.

Hana is also a pretty solid unit too. She is a glass canon with low HP but can really pack a punch once she promotes into Swordmaster. I also recommend giving her a Sunrise Katana once you get it. Rinkah is one of the only two axe-users in Birthright, and while she starts out meh at first because she won't hit hard, she does much better when she promotes to either Blacksmith or Oni Chieftain. Rinkah also makes a decent tank due to her high Defense stat, but I recommend boosting her HP in some way if you want to make better use of it.

The only Nohrian units you get among the first generation units are Jakob, Felicia, Silas, and Scarlet. Jakob is the butler/maid you start with if you're female Corrin, and he is the better butler/maid between him and Felicia, Stats fit him all around, but he also really shines in his secondary class as either a Paladin or Great Knight. Felicia has a low Strength stat but a high Magic stat, so she can hit really hard with a Flame Shuriken. If you want to make better use of the Magic stat though, she can turn into a Strategist (the new name for the Valkyrie class) for her secondary class.

Not counting his child Sophie, Silas is the only Cavalier unit you get in Birthright. His speed isn't the best, but he hits pretty hard and can take physical hits pretty well. You can also patch up his speed issue by pairing him with Hinoka or Hana (both give him a really good Speed boost when they are in a Guard Stance, and they are the best mother options for Sophie in Birthright). Scarlet is a Corrin-sexual, but she still makes a pretty good unit. She is the other axe-user you will get in this route, and with good Strength and Defense much like other Wyvern Lords and decent Speed, she can be a good asset to your army.

There is also Mozu, who serves as the villager unit in this game. As such, she starts out really weak due to her base stats as a Villager, but much like Donnel, she can turn into a monster once she promotes. She makes a pretty nice Master of Arms, but she shines even more as an Archer, her secondary class. In fact, she and Takumi make the best Archers in the game. I also turned her into a Dread Fighter in my Conquest an Revelation playthroughs, and she does pretty well in the class too.

As for the other units, Azama is alright when he promotes into Great Master, but if you ever play Revelation, I recommend giving him the Dread Scoll when you get the chance. He does better as a more physical-oriented unit. Hinata is the worst of the samurai trio in Birthright, but I've heard good things about Master of Arms Hinata (he was alright as a Swordmaster in my Revelation playthrough and meh as a Blacksmith in my Birthright run). He has the highest Defense of the three Samurais though. Subaki isn't the best Pegasus Knight because his stats become too balanced as he levels up. Setsuna is OK as an Archer, but Takumi is the winner here. Her only advantage over him is a much higher Speed stat and better Resistance. Reina is recruitable in Chapter 11, and while not the best Corrin-sexual, she will help you out big-time in the chapter you recruit her in due to the number of enemy flying units present there. Yukimura won't be recruitable until you upgrade one of your puppets in the castle until its Level 3, but he's solid as a Mechanist.

Spoiler: The characters

When it comes to the characters, the particular standouts that come to mind are the royal siblings, Saizo, Oboro, Hinata, Kaden, and Scarlet. Of the royals, Takumi is the most interesting of the four. He has amazing levels of depth to his character when you see his actions in Birthright and read his supports. Personally, I also think he is an incredibly relatable character and arguably the best written character in Fates.

Sakura follows behind for the most interesting of the Hoshido royals. Although she is shy, she shows maturity mixed with some cute childish tendencies in some of her supports, and she even has a very strong will to take action should the situation call for it. I also like Sakura more than Elise because I find the former to be more relatable.

Most people find Hinoka bland, but for me personally, I think she's a pretty cool character if you look into her supports. You gain a sense of her struggles as she grew up into becoming the Pegasus Knight she is today. She's also a caring individual, and her supports with the other members of her family are pretty good too. Her feelings for Corrin are also genuine for a sister, unlike Camilla.

Ryoma was my least favorite of the Hoshido royals, but he does have moments when he shines, especially when he gives sage-like advice to other units within the army. The best examples I can think of are his supports with Mozu and Takumi.

Saizo and Oboro also have some great support conversations across the board and some pretty cool personalities. Saizo is another character who doesn't kiss Corrin's feet from the get-go, but again, it's perfectly justified. He is edgy, but he also has a sweet and dorky side to him that shows in later support conversations with some characters. Oboro is a fashion-lover who makes clothes for a living in addition to being a soldier. She's also racist against Nohrians due to her backstory, but she knows when to not let those emotions get the best of her (best demonstrated with her supports with Silas, as well as with Beruka in Revelation). I consider Oboro to be one of the best written characters in Fates IMO.

Though Hinata is one of the more lackluster units compared to the others, he is a pretty likable character once you read more of his supports. He lacks a backstory compared to other characters, but his main charm is the way he interacts with others. He's a lovable puppy who is willing to give a helping hand to others, and the result is pretty endearing. His support conversations with Hinoka are one good example, where he teaches her to learn on depending on others rather than trying to rely on herself; what develops between the two results in not just one of the best support conversations in Birthright, but also one of the best supports convos in Fates as a whole. I also really liked his supports with Takumi, Oboro, Sakura, Kaden, Felicia, Hana, Rinkah, and Kagero. His support conversations are pretty good overall. I can honestly say he is my 11th favorite character in all of Fates.

Kaden is a lovable character who loves repaying debts to all those that help him out, and he cares about his appearance. He's also really goofy and funny with some great support convos all around.

Though Scarlet is a Corrin-sexual, she brims with charm and personality, and you can really see that in her supports with Female Corrin.

Some other characters I enjoyed were Azama, Setsuna, and Kagero. The first two I found to be pretty funny. Azama, in particular, is a troll (that reason is why many FE fans hate him), but some of the comments he makes can be hilarious. Kagero is nowhere as interesting of a character as Saizo is (mainly because more of Saizo's supports are more interesting compared to Kagero's), but she does have nice backstory that is pieced together from her supports with Corrin, Saizo, and Orochi.

Spoiler: Gameplay tips

1) Make sure Corrin gets the A support with Kaze before you reach Chapter 15.

2) There is a way to clear Chapter 12 in two turns, but I recommend playing it out just to get some goodies from enemy units and chests (the Hammer is among them; in fact, it is the only one you'll get in Birthright).

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!

It's confirmed we won't. They said Generations would run through 12/23, or today.

I'm not talking about generations, I mean a small separate series of shorts.

Something like "Moments From Alola"

but they probably won't do it.
