I hate when IS do this, but this time it's okey

Corrin is not part of the new year banner. The question now is, how will we get him? I doubt it will be a TT because we still have this one, and it makes zero sense to make him a GHB... So I guess he'll be in some random banner for no reason whatsoever. Also, unlike Rhajat, they haven't states where he might appear, but Ayra taught us to not trust IS, so don't expect nice things.

At least Takumi and Corrin don't share colour so it will be easier to get Takumi. But 3 character banners should just go away, they never learn...
What the hell man. Here I was hoping Corrin was in the banner and nope

I think there are two possibilities how Male Corrin will be obtained:

Dataminers have recently found there are quests coming up for a future Voting Gauntlet, so while unconfirmed, there is a possibility the next Voting Gauntlet could be a "Awakening Christmas vs Fates New Year" theme, and then Male Corrin could show up in a banner for that similar to how Rhajat showed up in the recent Voting Gauntlet.

The other possibility is that we might get a "mini-Tempest Trials" similar to the the Blazing Blade one while a back, and perhaps that new one could be Fates New Years themed. Male Corrin could then appear as the award unit in that.

I mean, Corrin could be in the VG banner but there's no one else to go with him on it. Are they just gonna fill it with three other random units?

That would be epic in 8k or higher with 240fps or more. That game looks really fresh by the way; wish I got to play it! Oh well.
Perhaps in way in the future were we have a new Switch that is powerful to have games in 8k... but now your statement... no offense, a bit "anyone can dream" but also laughable. What is the purpose for Xenoblade being 8k? As long as the gameplay plays smooth and especially enjoyable, I'm ok with it.
I actually have made a bit of a criticisms on Digital foundry's XC2 handheld graphics comparison video...
and I confirm that XC2 does have resolution and frame drops....but only in Gormott that felt very severe... other areas like Uraya, Mor Ardain, and Leftheria didn't have any huge difference.

And FRICK FRICK FRICK, that Territorial Robart is probably the most b****a** unique monster I've fought.... I remember I tried to break this stupid beast many times bu the stench is just hard to get over. and not to mention he has an attack you will give you tons of damage, perhaps this is because my level is still too low, but to some extent I digress. I already over level 75 and that stupid monkey is lv 81, which we do have some chance if we successfully did those Blade combos.

I always tend to take the monster down not matter how many tries, but it's late here... so I have to go to bed...

>Three character banners finally caught up to seasonals
>Possibility of a seasonal unit being free
Weird, though I wouldn't be surprised, Corrin was possibly the least impressive of the four: Takumi has a killer dagger, Azura is a flying dancer and Camilla has a new Bond skill and a Flier buff
All Corrin has is Atk/Res Bond, a double spur and double rally
Corrin doesn't even have ATK/RES Bond. It's Takumi that has it. M!Corrin has ATK/DEF+2.
That being said, Corrin wasn't impressive compared to the others, but that doesn't mean he's useless. I mean, being able to give +8 DEF & RES(and without Ally Support) is nice and useful for training/levelling heroes. His Base set also works well with DC Heroes like Ike, Hector and Fjorm or Lightning Breath dragons like Nowi.

Oh, my mistake then
Well, yeah, that even screams more "free unit"
I mean, sure, the Def/Res boost is nice but compared to the seasonal units we've been having, he's certainly underwhelming in comparison

Trust me, if you saw Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in 8k 240fps or higher; you would be gasping. It would make the game look a whole lot better.

Again, it would be amazing if we have a Xenoblade Chronicles game that runs 8k and 240fps. But as you know even consoles like Ps4 pro have trouble running 4k game at 60fps. Last but not least, as long as it runs at 1080p and 60fps is great enough for now

I'd heard that going Argonian is "bad" or something and admittedly their race traits are pretty low key.

That said, I've traveled underwater along rivers multiple times, so it's not like I haven't abused race traits. It looks nice under there, great enemy-free scenic route.

Not that it matters that I don't have a super flashy race trait after I joined The Companions for a bit. Bahahahahaaaa

OK yeah no I'm still dying constantly, but at least I have a panic button now.

I don't even have a build in mind, I'm just bouncing around doing whatever suits my fancy.
So it's pretty good for travel then, that's good to know if I ever do a repeat playthrough since I can think of a few times where it would've been helpful.

And yeah, what you get out of the Companions quest is pretty neat, I found it later so I didn't get to use it early game but I've had a lot of fun using it.

I really can't bear Jenetta's 'bear' puns

"I'm sorry Mrs.Bearnstein, but I needed that Forest Honey. No matter the cost."
Jenetta says, after making me murder an Owl Bear. Jenetta is secretely an evil overlord planning world domination and I just handed to her one of the ingredients for her recipe of destruction
EDIT: how could I forget "we just killed two bear-birds with one stone! I mean, the eggs survived, so not LITERALLY"? Too soon, dude, too soon
EDIT 2: she's no making bee puns.
I've seen enough Bee Movie memes to know where this is going.

I hate when people say that :4cloud: and :4littlemac: players are "brain dead" and have no skill. Even Cloud and Little Mac takes skill. Just want to point that out.

Do not give me that Cloud is a little mac with a sword statement either, they are both very different characters.

What rare blade or blade in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 do you think is the best to use in battle?

God, I love Pugilist, hitting four times thanks to One-Two Punch and fully binding a monster is just super fun, probably one of my favorite classes in any RPG and my favorite in the game so far. I can't wait to get Second Names so I can capitalise on all these binds and ailments.

Kind of don't understand why both regular and Gold editions of Mario + Rabbids are on sale on the eShop (33% off and 25% off respectively) but not the season pass.

I'm still going to get the season pass eventually but it would've been nice.

Out of curiosity, which race did you pick to play as?

I went with an Argonian, but my second choice would have been Kajiit and I almost wonder if I should have gone with that. . .mostly because they seem really shafted, LOL. I'm slowly spoiling myself looking up things as I become curious about them, but there's still plenty I'm sure I don't know.
Personally, I usually go Breton. Second to that is Nords. But I like all the races of Skyrim and played through them all.

Fortunately, Skyrim is more lax about character builds so you can really go whatever race as whatever build you choose to play. Khajiits in Heavy Armor and Two Handed is one of my most favorite race/build combinations. I like to call them Heavy Lions. There's also my personal favorite setup- cultist robes, cultist boots, regular gloves and a circlet on Bretons. I call it the Ex-Cultist. For Argonians, they look amazing in Dragonscale Armor, minus the helm, and look even more badass with black robes, black hood, black gloves and black boots with black scales.

No race is "bad". Every race can play any play style. However, some races play better at certain play styles versus other races. Argonians and Khajiits are the best unarmed-using races in the game, for example.

Argonians are really neat to be honedt. You can search waterbeds for treasure. You can find some sunken ships north of Skyrim. You won't have to worry about running out of breath, so it makes underwater treasure hunting easier. Watch out for Slaughterfish though.

In the beginning, if training your offensive tree (one/two handed/destruction, etc.) isn't a big deal to you, you can scratch peoples' eyes out instead. Go John Cena on them sometimes too. Claws deals more damage than anything you'll find in Helgan. Argonians also resist diseases so you won't have to worry as much when fighting Vampires, Wolves, etc.. But if you're in the Companions, neither of those things doesn't really matter. Won't say why just in case you haven't gotten to the point in quest yet.

ESAM just released his new tier list. Check it out on youtube. He thinks Fox is a top three character, like Dabuz. There is more to talk about but I will leave you to find out.
I've seen enough Bee Movie memes to know where this is going.
What kind of stuff are you into?

Little Mac can either be terrible or they know what to do. I would not say they are brain dead.

Obviously yes. Asking the real questions is a priority.

I always played Argonian back when I had Skyrim, I just like Reptiles and I can get behind Lizard People.
I can't count the times my friends told me to play another race because they're "useless", though to be fair, all we knew about was the underwater breathing, I didn't know they could deal extra damage without weapons or the poison resist

I said the same thing back in Morrowind. Lol

Disease resist. Argonians in Skyrim do not resist Poison.

I forgot to mention also their Histskin ability- a heavily overlooked power that heals your health very quickly for 60 seconds. That's far from useless- especially in high difficulty runs. Later in the game, it can be a useful alternative to spells and potions.

Mr.F-ZeroBias
Hey all, so I've been planning out a new fanfiction, and considering how I've advertised it elsewhere, it made sense to bring it here! Some of you have heard of it, but many of you haven't!

The Stories of New Tendo City is a 21st Century reimagining of Nintendo characters living in a Nintendo version of New York City called New Tendo City. Every Nintendo character ever created lives in the city, and its basically a sitcom with lots of slapstick similar to the original Looney Tunes of yesteryear!
http://fantendo.wikia.com/wiki/The_Stories_of_New_Tendo_City
http://fantendo.wikia.com/wiki/The_Stories_of_New_Tendo_City/Characters
http://fantendo.wikia.com/wiki/The_Stories_of_New_Tendo_City/Characters
Above, are the two articles. The first one is the main article, and the second one is the character list. Both the episode list, and the character list are updated frequently!

I would love feedback, episode ideas, and character requests to be done. Anyways, enjoy the article folks! ~ Afro

Mod Edit: Link to DeviantArt removed. While your link to the inappropriate content was behind a NSFW Warning within the site itself, it had no warning here, which was enough of an issue. It's an honest error and please don't let it happen again.

No harm done. The diseases include Rockjoint and Vampirism. There's not a whole lot of diseases but the resistance to them is nice early on.
I like them cause they ugly af

'been playing alot of Xenoblade 2. Really liking it so far. The gameplay, the story, the characters, I like all of them!

Speaking of story, my favourite moment would be:
Jin pulling a litteral, *Teleport behind you* "nothing personal" on Rex word for words. I love it.:laugh:
