I just saw some of my favourite Space Dandy moments in Japanese for comparison sake. My god, the dub is SO much better
Japanese version
QT: What do you think of when you hear "buttocks"?
Dandy: A perky ass!

QT:What are you enslaved to?
Dandy: The booty!

And you are right about that. Tecmo Koei is good with action, but they can't seem to avoid having fanservice for the sake of having fanservice. Momosame and the shrine maidens should be taken serious and not have any unneeded cleavage and "physics" to their chest. That's why I'm leaning on Platinum since some of their titles aren't as blatantly fanservicey like Tecmo.

Exactly. The last thing we need is for a reboot to attract "weaboo haters" because of the Japanese tone and forced fanservice. There were already more than enough misinformed people calling Takamaru supporters "weaboos", which was cringeworthy enough.

By the way, this green will be my permanent speech forever since I become one with Yomi. Fear the bean sprouts.

I'm leaving in some minutes so I did one last summon before it
>No green summons
Well, there's always the chance to get Lyn, right?
>Fir
Look, I know they're similar, Heroes, but that ain't Lyn

Hey I love Fir.

Yes, we do not want history to repeat itself. Even Sakurai didn't go too far with the fanservice in Kid Icarus and Smash. No need to ruin the perfect pure beauty of the shrine maidens or Momosame in a Tecmo Koei developed reboot. We had enough of that crap with Fire Emblem Fates.

By the way, thanks for showing more of your blatant Yomi arrogance.

Pearl, your salt never fails to amuse me. Yomi won third place in that poll while Kat is nowhere on the list. Just face it, she's no longer as popular as she used to be anymore and Yomi is clearly the better girl. :^}

But jokes aside, yes. Tecmo Koei should NOT turn Murasame Castle into another Fire Emblem Fates. Fanservice would both help and his hurt it in the long run. Just stay completely accurate to an ancient Japanese setting with no modern influences other than the aliens that attack Japan (as stereotypical as it sounds).

I'm not a Crystal Gem that blush at the slight mention of Rose Quartz or can't get along with Amethyst. So that's inaccurate as it gets.

Though I do agree with you. No waifus or "physics" out of Tecmo if they do want to make a new Murasame Castle game one day. Stay faithful in more ways than one. Some new ideas like Kid Icarus would be fine, but I don't see the game being super funny or comical like that game.

To add to your point, Kid Icarus actually had the funniness down to it's roots, as the team of the original NES game actively insisted that the game not be as serious as what the person in charge was intending it to be. The original game already had several unusual and humorous things and even anachronisms like a credit card, so Uprising simply cranked what was already there up to eleven, as was Sakurai's intention in keeping it loyal to what he pinpointed as the franchises' defining points.

Murasame Castle has it's own tone, so it would be up to the individual in charge of that to figure out what it's defining points are and take those to their logical conclusion.

Finished the Odyssey analysis. Definitely enjoyed it, and it's reaffirmed my hype for the game.

And that's what I like about Uprising. It stuck with the game's roots of being this quirky adventure in Ancient Greece with a few twists.

Pit literally turns into an eggplant and needs a nurse to cure him. That's something that was never meant to be take serious. And the Tempura Wizard added a little more hilarity and Nightmare Fuel (Pit Tempura is something that I would not want to eat). He's too pure for this world to eaten like that.

The old game only had Takamaru comically die with his legs twitching in the air. I believe that's the only form of comedy while everything is literally trying to kill you. One makes you wonder how can aliens of all things brainwash not only mortal warriors of Japan, but yokai as well. Their technology must be very good in that case. Imagine a brainwashed Jibanyan (Poor nyan).

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

With Kid Icarus, the fourth wall does not exist. Like at all.

And I loved it.

I am imagining Jibanyan brainwashed by aliens right now, and it's honestly not coming off as implausible. Hilarious, yes, but not implausible.

Basically after the anime's explanation for Robonyan I probably wouldn't even blink at aliens. If you're already mixing time travel and roboticization with invisible emotion manipulating ghosts from another dimension you start to hit arbitrary skepticism when aliens are off the table.

Now, that doesn't really have anything to with Murasame Castle, but we have to be alert for any situation, nyan.

 

[Metal Shop X]

I played a little bit of Another Metroid 2 Remake, mostly due to the fact that I haven't played the game in awhile and I wanted to be sure my control were better.

And I think tomorrow, I will advence alot more in this beautiful game. (Too bad I am forced to play it with a keyboard however...)

Especially if said robotic yokai has a thing for being penetrated by B3-NK1's blade so many times. I can't blame him thought everyone has their kinks.

It was still Murasame Castle related anyway since we are talking about how their influence is able to brainwash both humans and yokai, which are the enemies in the game. If there was a reboot, we probably should see more aliens than just the queen (who you fight at the end of the game aboard her ship).

Ironically, I can probably see Jibanyan and Takamaru as friends if they were to ever meet. He can be friendly with tanooki, so why not a lazy, adorable bakeneko?

Wait. . .I've been a bit slow today, but I just realized I never properly looked up Murasame Castle's plot and more just went off of a couple of clips of gameplay footage, people gushing about Takamaru, and a general understanding of him fighting ninjas.

*cue Wikipedia*

. . .Well GEE, I don't even think you'd need waifus for that. It's not Kid Icarus style crazy, but that's a whole other style of jutaxposition.

But then, I have a thing for jutaxposition.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Beat all the story chapters in FEH on Normal. \o/

Really annoyed that the rewards for doing the chapters on Hard don't check if you've done them already.

The 80's were a product of their time. It's Kid Icarus crazy, but at least it did the alien invasion long before it was new in Uprising. The only thing missing are the UFO's and the queen's "children". So they most likely hide aboard the ship using their brainwashing antics from afar.

True, no waifus would be needed when the game is crazy enough and hard too. This ninjas probably would have been less hard if they weren't juiced up on the alien brainwaves.

Anyone still use Miitomo?

I'm considering finally trying it but only to gain some MyNintendo points to spend on

I thought there should be a MyNintendo app (and a miiverse but that's gonna die when Switch releases) but the FRH in-game thing is good enough for now even tho it lags af - usefull since it just has FEH stuff.

Actually a general MyNintendo app should still be a thing imo.

And a SmashBros game maybe like a card game. I'd collect all the characters. Would do if Smash amiibo line had card versions too.

That also explain the vengeful spirits being cruel enough to disguise themselves as shrine maidens (which are hard to kill).

And the annoying Fire Porters and Shinobu (Bomb or Fire) that just won't die. This was the original Dark Souls before it was cool.

Fire Emblem Heroes Chapter 6 Part 5, the one where you fight Ryoma, his retainers, and Takumi's retainers was a pretty strategic map for me.

My units going into this battle were Subaki, Lissa, Olivia, and Niles (all of which were level 14).

One unit is trapped within a set of walls against Ryoma, but there is a portion of the wall you can break if you need to get in. Saizo and Hinata are on the left side of the map, while Kagero and Oboro start around the top right. The rest of your units are in the center.

Subaki was the one unit who started within the walls against Ryoma, and let me tell you this: the Sapphire Spear does wonders! Ryoma couldn't land any damage on Subaki because of it, and Subaki finished him off in two turns. He was the easiest unit to take out for me.

Dealing with the ninjas was a bit tougher though. Kagero kept attacking Olivia, while Saizo tried to damage Niles. I remember having to bring Subaki out of the wall following Ryoma's defeat so that he could deal with Oboro. He ended up taking her out with ease, getting little damage here and there while delivering huge chunks at Oboro bit by bit.

While Subaki was attacking Oboro, I had to use Niles to damage Saizo bit by bit. He was taking some hefty damage though, but Lissa was there to heal NIles and even land the finishing blow on Saizo. I had to use Niles to keep pushing Saizo back so that he wouldn't kill Lissa as well. I don't remember how I managed to defeat Hinata though.

When Oboro went down, I had Subaki deliver enough damage onto Kagero so that Niles could land the final blow.

Overall, a fun map.

And I don't know if any here even pays attention to the actual story, but something interesting is brought up after clearing Chapter 6.

Spoiler: FE: Heroes Plot spoilers

Sharena and Alphonse talk about their old friend named "Zacharius," and he went missing during one battle.

OK, am I the only one that is starting to think the "Mysterious Man" his actually Zacharius? I mean, that masked individual doesn't have a known name right now, and considering how the game has been hiding his identity thus far, something tells me he could actually be that same Zacharius but was brainwashed by Veronica shortly after he was defeated.

I'm also going to do my fourth complete summoning shortly. Hoping for the best!

Took a poll on what my gaming preferences might be and then looked at the gaming recommendations.

I think it was because I was too wishy washy in my answers and that skewed it, but somehow Little Big Planet completely DOMINATED everything else.

But see, you have miscalculated my tastes. Sackboy is ugly as sin.

Nobody ever polls you on your aesthetic tastes. LBP had DLC from both of the franchises I was using my PS3 for and I still wouldn't even look at it outside of noting that fact because Sackboy hits the Uncanny Valley right in the bullseye.

Burlap was not meant to walk the earth.

*EDIT* Didn't notice the profane watermark

I think that scowl may have had a slight jumpscare effect.

It's not even that he looks ugly in a traditional sense so much as something is inherently off. I guess it's similar to the reaction some people have to old dolls. It would make sense since he is a doll.

I guess it's pretty accurate as I do enjoy action and trying to achieve a decent level of skill in my games.

Edit: That being said I don't think an online quiz can cover all the bases really, so keep that in mind.
