>Some people are speculating Forrest is in the Halloween banner
No, please, oh God, don't do this to me, I'm saving up Orbs for Joshua, don't do this, I only have 109 of them, I beg you, have mercy IS
Certainly more than what I have so far. Be thankful we're getting alot of Orbs still. Not to mention the likelihood of the Banner going into November, which means even more Orbs. And the fact that with a new Season Banner comes a new Paralogue, which means even more.

I am going to pick what I believe is the wrong choice because the Dragon's name is Bahamut

Bahamut must survive!

Edit: Wow, this one I was sure I picked the wrong decision

But there doesn't seem to be any negative consequences

Everyone is happy and Bahamut learned Flare

Well I pre ordered Forces on Switch, meanwhile Odyssey just shipped. Unfortunately I gotta wait like 2 and a 1/2 weeks for Odyssey to get here, unless Amazon surprises me.

This will be a long two weeks.

Still waiting for new info on the next Nintendo Arcade Archive.

Mario Bros. came out 30 days ago and no word since then.

So there really is going to be a Halloween banner after all...

I'm so glad I spent my orbs on characters I don't even know.

If I recall correctly there never really is a wrong choice.


Except when it comes to the red mage.

I got a really good graphics comparison shot of Sonic Forces on Switch VS PS4. Twitter compressed but the differences are still very clear.

Switch (Docked)

PS4 (Pro specifically, but I don't think this demo has the full game's Pro features anyway)

I chose the red mage, actually. Fought off the thief. I wanted the thief asteriks

Though I don't know why he couldn't just do his research somewhere else. The surface of the earth is mostly water.

You'd THINK there was enough water. Just somewhere else.

Can you show the Sombra concepts? I found some of them like Mercy, Symmetra, Reinhardt, Tracer, D.va, Reaper, Widow, Roadhog, Soldier, Pharah, Zen, Genji/Hanzo, Lucio, Mei and Junkrat, but the others I haven't seen yet.
I have to admit if it weren't for the fact that Symmetra is Indian, I would've loved to see Symmetra's concept arts as skins. The Tribal-like Reinhardt would also be a cool skin. Also, this Tracer concept would be cool to see as a skin as well.
I aware some of the concept artworks have already appeared online, like Ana helping Fareeha how to use her rifle lol.

Okay buddy I am gonna post the book prints, just hold on a sec... need to do some editing, I need to cut some parts of the pic and probably post it to imgur and try to set it to private if I can.

I would also like to ask did anybody bought the Art Of Overwatch? Right now the special edition costs 60$ on Amazon, which is really a bargain. That's pretty much the same price with the Origins Edition of the game.

Uhhhhh Robin?

You're supposed to tip the scales, not the stability of the game. I was about ready to beat that level and it took awhile!

At least Nintendo asked me if I wanted to send a crash report, LOL.

Okay I might double post so if mod saw this please help me fix it for once :sadeyes:
Also keep in mind the image will look blurry or wonky due to my phone's camera is crap when shooting with only a dim light. Also Google photo seems to diminish to resolution...
Furthermore, the book was pretty heavy even though I used to have a text book that was way heavier than this one, taking it out made me felt like a museum artifact appraiser or something... I have to take the book out with care...
Bastion's concept looks more ugly than he is now imo...
This D. Va concept I am more fond to, sure it doesn't look as attractive as how D. Va is now but I feel this is a bit more realistic and practical... however she sure does look more a bit like a teenager, so that's a problem.
Question: Which Genji & Hanzo concept do you like? And also one of them is the concept that was split to create Hanzo and Genji.
So McCree was base on this Starcraft artwork...
I'm... pretty sure most Overwatch fans have already seen Mei's concept art, like these two:
Mei looks more like a Chinese on the left than she is now imo...
Has anyone seen this concept art? So I guess Mei was suppose to be a hot and serious Canadian.
Ghibli fans might know who these two are... this is from Phrah concept artwork...
I love this Reaper mask, which is way more edgy than his current mask, also his Hell Fire were more like Sombra's, which I think it could be very OP:
Okay Ivander Ivander , these are the Sombra concept, I prefer the far right a lot... sorry if the pic is blurry but man she looks way more cooler. The left one is also pretty cool


Symmetra concept...


I know this Tracer doesn't make her look like a British but hey, I also like this concept:

And forget about the movement studies... they were a bit boring...

And yeah, Tracer was supposed to look like Mercy I guess, or I can also guess Mercy was going to be Tracer.


Besides character concept sketches and artworks there were skins, event skins, sprays, icons, and much much more. It really felt like I was in an Overwatch artwork exhibit when reading these.

So I saw on Twitter today, that Disney is really pushing some live action show I've never heard of because they are making one of the characters come to terms with the fact they are gay.

This is fine and dandy, but really makes me think due to their past actions in the last year.

First alex Hirsch was not allowed to make two characters openly gay(granted it was still implied and they both were fun characters and this didn't distract or change them).

Then Star VS stuck several LGBT couples into one episode and when Disney noticed they flipped their **** and made the episode get edited for re runs.

And yet now their live action show is all of a sudden pro LGBT.

I'll be honest, this feels more like a publicity thing to me then actually trying to show LGBT lives in a normal light, but I guess if its executed well it could be good to have out there.

I wonder how things will change and why they decided to do this all of a sudden.

This Nopon us called... Bana... And he us the president of Argentum trade company and he us quite huge for a Nopon.
What bothers me is he seems to have a female servant on his side... Which I won't be surprised if she is actually a Blade for Bana..
Also yes, there is also a Bana in Xenoblade Chronicles...
You can just imagine Bana is the Mr. Krabs of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 or Tom Nook of Xenoblade Chronicles 2...

And this tweet is spoke the truth... GOTY 2017 is going be a Nintendo Civil War.
There was a problem fetching the tweet

Yeah... I remember I used to eat this candy that was also kind of like Life Saver, but smaller and can blow whistles with it:

Sorry but, here's a cute Nanachi eating pancake artwork...
There was a problem fetching the tweet

Now that explains why there were many furry posts in Splatoon 2

Also this is what Nintendo gamers will be like in winter 2017:


And it's been a long time since I post another Pyra artwork since some were too out of boarder...
I know some is gonna complain... but this fanart seems pretty spot on, didn't exaggerate anything... I think... and oddly that she seems like she is holding her Egis... but she actually isn't.

I have to chose whether or not a school should be coed? Really?

I don't see why separate gendered schools should be a thing

So they'd better have a damn good reason for me to pick anything other than coed

Edit: It means I miss out on Monk though

Edit 2: the "Good" reason is that the woman wanted men and woman to be "Separate but equal". Needless to say I have the valkyrie asteriks now.

But this NEW quest... I get the pirate asteriks from. I don't even care what the moral is! Pirate Asteriks is awesome!

Ah, I was hoping there would be more concept, but those ones were actually shown around when Sombra was announced. The one where she's ninja-like was her when she had Genji-like abilities before Genji was made and her hood look was before Ana's look was finalised if I remember correctly. Funny enough, her hood look was something alot of fans were predicting before Sombra was shown. That being said, I actually hope her Ninja-like concept art becomes a skin for her. Kinda like how this person did.
Sym's concepts are also cool, but they feel highly unlikely considering those concepts have her with a different realistic skin color and a realistic hair color. I did hear something that Jeff said that for some characters and for Symmetra, they might make some of the concept arts a skin in the future. And I believe it was in response to someone asking about a Symmetra skin. But those 2 besides the one closest to her main look use a realistic skin tone and realistic hair color that no doubt would bring cries of "white-washing" from the more vocal groups.
Genji and Hanzo's concepts look nice and Hanzo somewhat got his concept as a skin with Anniversary's Cyberninja(just without the helmet, which is a shame). If I had to choose one to become a skin for one of the two however, it'd be the one with the straw ronin hat. Like the outfit shown for Genji in the new Junkenstein comic.
And that Tracer concept just screams anime. Like that is not the first time I have seen that hairstyle and with the same exact same spiky-ness. It's definitely not bad, but it's certainly not the most original.

But anyway, thanks for showing. Seeing concepts before the finalised designs are always a big treat.

That moment when you're actually proud to mutter the phrase "Adam Sandler deserves an Oscar Nomination for this." Seriously guys, he is absolutely stunning in The Meyerowitz Stories. He's funny, he's emotional, this is the best work he's ever done. You can tell that he really does have a love for his art, and that he really is a funny guy, and who can blame him for having fun on his movie sets with his friends AND making lots of money at the same time but I digress. If this is the kind of movie Sandler is going to make a habit of making, sign me the **** up.

tl;dr If Sandler doesn't get an Oscar nod this season for his work in this movie then that is an incredible oversight my The Academy. Cannot believe I just wrote that sentence.

So in FF3 it talks about how in the past the light gained too much power and warriors of darkness came to rebalance the world

Why didn't we get THAT game? Imagine having warriors of Darkness

It'd be like having the 4 fiends as your characters

Famitsu doesn't like 3D Mario games IIRC. It's apparently the highest they've ever given one tied with Mario 64.

But ah well. Every game I like is going to get gutter scores, so I should probably preemptively take a step back from the entire concept before I get hurt. Especially since some reviewers act toxic just because they can.

I'm going to second Rainbow Rocket here as well, based on the rumors going around that's USUM's biggest trump card at the moment and a event that would hype up a lot of fans since the Villain leader characters tend to be among the most popular. Additionally, they revealed ORAS' Delta Episode around this time as well, so them using this trailer to reveal USUM's own post-game episode would be perfect timing for it.


Hmm...

Some interesting units.
Of course they add an Armor Mage in this banner, and it's also a character I like on top of that. Still not sure if I'm going to summon from it yet since I want to see what the second banner of the month will be, but I will admit it is tempting.

Interesting choices, I expected the ones from Nohrian Halloween.
Lol Nowi as a Flier rides a broom.
>If unit's HP is >=50%, unit can warp adjacent to any ally within two spaces
HOW ABOUT NO

Oh, and Henry is an Armor Mage, seeing as he has Armor March, he'll probably start to replace Amelia on Armor Emblem(Hector is just a better choice for Axe Armor)

Sakura is yet another Mage counter because IS can't figure out how to deal with them.

Lol Jakob lol

EDIT: I'm just glad I get to save up more Orbs, with the update on Monday, I hope we get an idea of what the other banners will be through the datamining.

I've actually had a hard time grinding in Bravely Second. Most of the game I was at around the level I was supposed to be according to the map

But I finally found an area that's easy to grind in and I've been mastering jobs like crazy and I'm level 70 in a level 30 something area

Those bonuses in this game can get crazy, but at the same time my characters don't feel significantly stronger at this level.

Just came back from school.
I took a bus today and the driver appearently did something that upset someone, because someone on a bike bumped the bus on purpose. The driver opened the door and they started yelling at each other, and eventually the biker started beating up the driver. I got stressed so I left.
Took a while to get home though.
