Social NintenZone Social 5 - Thanks, Everyone

[Wario Bros.]

On this Switch & Amazon thing, I'm keeping my expectations low (and who knows, maybe it's an error).

But there's no denying a Nintendo Direct isn't too far away.

The birds that poke you in Bowser's Kingdom are to be referred to as Pokebirbs. I refuse to acknowledge any official material to the contrary. This is my New Years' Resolution. Thank you

I bet it'll be in January. Just a gut feeling though.

Alek's Brother Watches Fullmetal Alchemist And Alek Glances At It: Part 3

My favorite part of Fullmetal Alchemist is when the music stops, a narrator sternly says "Fullmetal Alchemist.", pauses as the screen fades out, fades in, narrator says "Fullmetal Alchemist." again, show resumes

Character 1: *shoots out lightning to make a bridge over acid*
Character 2: Wow! A miracle!
Character 3: That's no miracle! That's Alchemy™!
Me: Alchemists were a bunch of 12-century pseudoscientific dorks who tried to make gold but couldn't because they were too dumb. This guy just shot out lightning to make a bridge. That's a miracle

Dude in this anime got punched by another dude so hard he got a nose bleed and the first thing he says when he got up was "You punch like a beast. I like that about you"

All 18 pages of the mystery Switch titles on Amazon directs you to a page not found.

Could mean they were covering up or they were never right. No telling which.

Aww what the heck. Decided to post early Direct predictions. Just don't take them too seriously.

This was my first session. My first Rhajat! She's minus attack plus def but I can work with it. The lilana is my first five star one and is minus speed plus def which isn't too bad. Don't know what I'll do with her yet but glad to have another red mage.

I did a few more sessions and got this:

I really like Camila's skills and new look so I'm pretty happy. Hoping to get the other two.

Camila is also minus attack but hone fliers can really help her out, as will her plus def boon.

Indeed. But some way Bill is going to get fired again. I just sense it.

Oh yeah, I forgot to make some Fate/Grand Order updates from earlier, so I might as well get to it.

The London banner is currently happening at the moment, and I've been trying to pull Mordred out of it because she's one of my favorite Fate/Apocrypha servants (or more like one of the few genuinely well-written characters in the show). Didn't get much luck though, but this is was the closest I got to a lucky summoning session:

Well well, looks like I pulled French Trap Seiba and Frankenstein as my newest four-stars. I might train up Chevalier D'eon, though I already have Siegfried and Julius Caesar (who I started using as a teammate for Scathach) as my main Sabers, so I'm not sure if I'll invest in Chevalier that much. Similarly, Heracles is already my main Berserker, so I don't know if I'll be investing in Franny.

Still, really wished I pull Mordred...

I also managed to ascend Scathach to her third stage the other day, finally unlocking her last skill that allows her to pierce divine enemies like no tomorrow, and she got a rocking new outfit:

Pretty cool stuff.

I also tried to have a go at the recent Arjune and Karna banner. Sadly, no luck in pulling either of them.

And speaking of Fate, we've got a new trailer for Fate/Extella LINK. In it, Scathach, Francis Drake, and Astolfo are confirmed to be added as playable characters.

I was skeptical in picking this game up, but now Scathach and the soundtrack (from the trailer music alone) is starting to tempt me otherwise. We'll see what's revealed in these next few months to see if this game is worth my purchase.

All I really need to be convinced is some sort of mode like Adventure Mode/History Mode from the Warriors games, Side Stories are too short imo.
Also, fix the damn map selection for Free Mode, god that w

Beat XC2

Spoiler

FANCY HEARING YOU HERE, MONADO BOY
The game effectively being parallel to XC1 is just amazing.

No where near as good as the first game at all though because so many things hold it back from the Blade System being able to shut you off from story progression, a severely inferior battle system and some other examples of poor design later on in the game.

Designs are a mixed bag. For every Wulfric, Morag, Zeke, Jin, Poppi and Malos there's a Broken Spine Ice Rabbit Girl thing.

However it's still pretty good. Story is on par with XC1's, most of the characters (Read: Anyone that isn't Rex or Pyra) are very enjoyable and well executed, Alrest is a great world to explore and when the VA is good, it's really good.

Wasn't the Bill being fired meme only ever said twice by Nintendo? I know that they do use Bill as the butt of jokes a number of times and not just in Nintendo Directs, but I only ever remember it being said by Nintendo twice(not counting "referencing"). Once during the Reggie NWC Training video and the other from, I think, a Tweet on their Twitter.
While otherwise, Bill being fired was just about used by the community whenever he was the butt of the joke(like the Yokai Watch commercial with the donuts), even though Nintendo or Reggie never outright stated it.

 

[praline]

How come sometimes when I get knocked out it takes forever but a teammate revives me and then other times I get knocked out and it goes to the black screen immediately.

Look at your party gauge. If you don't have at least one full bar in the gauge then you can't be revived.

I thought that thing was only for the team attack thing.

IIRC, in a Summer 2016 Direct some guy was forced by Reggie to find him his 3DS that he lost apparently or else he would be fired. Bill appeared towards the middle of the Direct and proclaimed that the "island" told him all the secrets of the universe and the 2017 3DS lineup as well as claiming it's been years since he last saw Reggie and co.

Not exactly Bill getting fired but still Bill & Reggie shenanigans.

 

[Wario Bros.]

When a Direct gets announced, I won't make a BINGO sheet. I don't do them for Directs because, unlike E3, I personally believes Directs are harder to predict stuff correctly.

But I will make a couple of predictions (won't say them until the time comes)

I bet it'll be in January. Just a gut feeling though.

They said January but they never specified which January it would be.

So it's more referencing rather than 'direct'ly. I don't see anything wrong. I mean, considering I haven't seen it mentioned for quite some time, it doesn't feel like a joke that Nintendo is running to the ground. Maybe it's just the community running memes to the ground again? Than again, I don't know how "meme-y" other parts of the board are compared to here.

 

[Aurane]

Happy New Year to all who've reached it. I will start the year by posting a relatable Undertale comic I found.

They said January but they never specified which January it would be.

You're point? Its still gonna be in a January.

Yes but it could be a January 1000 years from now so that we're never able to see it.

This is the Direct I was referring to.

It seems the Bill and Reggie thing is on and off. Then again 2016 was the last time we saw it so maybe those skits are done.

EDIT: Gosh darn it double post. Please take pity on me mods.

I don't think you're getting it bud. 1,000 years, 10,000 years-- its still gonna be on a January.

"It cant be this January if they didnt say which January to begin with"

 

[mario123007]

Right now, I think I am fine. Just some things I need figure like, what instrumental item is Poppi's favourite? How can I achieve affinity like" revive 5 times your ally", etc...

There is also a optional key on the Titan Battleship that I don't where to get. If you have any ideas, feel free to say.

It is Roly Polynesian Marcas you can buy it in Argentum. And to receive your ally, your party gauge must fill up at least one black. If you die without any party gauge ready,then you will return to the last save point...
Optional key? Is this a key after completing the Titan Battleship?

 

[Ivander]

Continuing the Fire Emblem New Years image bandwagon.

Gotta love how Ryoma is like, "Am I supposed to be here?" and Corrin is like, "I should be over there."
Also, another FE Fan comic, regarding the 5 Stages of Summoning.

I sincerely hope at some point that the official Manga references "getting the ones you didn't want" or "getting multiples of the same unit" at some point.

Also, in terms of Grand Order, Part 2 is looking pretty nice. Also, Galahad's true form appears as well in an OVA. Also, as cool as some of the new hinted Servants and characters for Part 2 are looking, the newest Servant is all kinds of "I don't even" and is a pure example that while Fate is somewhat historically accurate with some of it's characters, it's still purely fiction and that they can still do whatever they want regardless on how "I don't even" it is. Cause good lord...

Edit: Also, what could've been...

Give us a Hinoka Seasonal, IS! Or a Minerva Seasonal!

That's actually really cool.

I can imagine Roy and Ike secretly being pissed off though. No one called them in to audition for FEW and had to audacity to tell them both to wait for the sequel.
