The only interesting thing about FE is how Henry is Nabbit's brother

 

[Opossum]

Spoiler

He doesn't, you probably just got unlucky. Anyone can hit Duma as long as his HP is over 52; once he goes below 52 HP and starts using Oculus, that's when you send in Alm with the Falchion to finish the job. Or you can use your Saints with Nosferatu, or the Marth or Roy amiibo.

Wait, seriously? I was thinking that might work but I haven't tried it.

Spoiler

Can Marth and Roy seriously kill Duma? Can Lucina, since she also wields Falchion?

If so that's hilarious.

Spoiler

Only Marth and Roy for some reason

And holy **** Faye. In a base conversation she mentions how she writes to her family, her family replies with "Tell us how YOU are, not Alm!" And the ending is hilarious for the wrong reasons

Spoiler

She DOES marry someone else, but her new husband has to put up with her whining for Alm, so he's getting NTR-ed by the goddamn king

 

[praline]

Speaking of Fire Emblem character ages though, apparently each playable Echoes character has a canonical age that's been confirmed due to data mining. This is because originally they wanted the of-age characters to be able to drink the Wine and Ale to heal, but decided against it to not give them an unfair advantage. Some of the ages are pretty surprising, even by Fire Emblem standards.

Spoiler: List is spoilered in case you consider a character's recruitability to be a spoiler

Delthea: 13

Kliff & Genny: 15

Boey & Est: 16

Alm, Celica, Tobin & Mae: 17

Gray, Faye & Clair: 18

Silque: 19

Catria & Atlas: 20

Conrad: 21

Luthier: 22

Palla: 23

Lukas, Leon & Jesse: 24

Forsyth, Python & Sonya: 25

Clive: 27

Mathilda, Tatiana & Kamui: 28

Zeke: 29

Deen: 30

Valbar: 31

Saber: 34

Mycen: 65

Nomah: 71

Spoiler: Minor epilogue spoiler

This really makes the implication that Genny married Saber even squickier. Though to be fair, it never said they married immediately. Hell, it's only implied to be Saber.

Spoiler

Genny and Saber marrying isn't that weird when it does take place in a medieval time and that was fairly normal back then.

Spoiler

Can Marth and Roy seriously kill Duma? Can Lucina, since she also wields Falchion?

If so that's hilarious.

Spoiler

Lucina's doesn't work, because her Falchion is technically "incomplete" due to not having had the "true" Awakening performed on it (the Darksphere was missing in her time). So it makes sense for hers not to be able to kill Duma.

Also, the Alm amiibo can finish the job too, assuming it has Falchion equipped.

I think soneone made a video on this testing that and yeah, I think Marth can kill him

Spoiler

In retrospect that makes sense I think. Lucina's Falchion isn't the Exalted version like Chrom's, so maybe that's partly why she can't kill Duma.

 

[Ivander]

3rd Times the Charm! In the next box I get with a Legendary, I end up getting 2 as well as my first Event skin. 500 Currency and Zarya's Cyberian skin. 1 down.....10 to go.
At the very least, I'm just happy that this time it was an Event skin.

 

[Aurane]

Like 80% of the people that visit this thread are weird people with anime avatars that love the franchise, a franchise that is also receiving a lot of games lately so, yeah, prepare yourself for more.

Ugh.

I just deal with it. Smashboards has always been an FE haven. If I really want go avoid FE discussions, there's a thousand more threads on the website.

But of course, there's also an FE thread you guys could **** in but what do I know.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I feel like Ive asked this before but It begs to be asked again, why is talking about FE so taboo

 

[WeirdChillFever]

I feel like Ive asked this before but It begs to be asked again, why is talking about FE so taboo

If it was taboo people wouldn't talk about it every couple pages.

Also I don't hate FE discussion but it gets tiring.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

In hindsight, there's one thing I LOATHE about Echoes

They gave a proper way to say Archanea
I always thought, and will continue to say, 'Arkay-nee-eh'
They say 'arkuhnayuh'

 

[Z25]

Can anyone link me to the ARMS test punch times?

And Happy Birthday Chrom.

In other news, the Pokemon anime is moving forward. Illima shows up and Ash fights him, then Ash will apparently head to Akala and speak to Oliva about their 3 trials. I wonder how this will work when the captains are all in school.

 

[Deleted member]

Yes as if we needed more Fire Emblem conversations here

"I'm not apart of this conversation, therefore it shouldn't exist"

If I wanted this much salt, I could just go take a dive in the ocean.

 

[Deleted member]

Don't like the topic of a conversation? Either try to introduce something new or just stay quiet.
Like complaining about the current topic, that seems to have worked.

In hindsight, there's one thing I LOATHE about Echoes

It's not their fault you're wrong

But the way they say it is dummmmmmmmmmmmmmmb

Also, in hindsight, I realized something. In every Fire Emblem game I play, I feel like I get the most mileage from the Peg Knights. I should replay FE7 one day and actually use Florina, accidentally got her killed and thought it was like casual mode in the tutorial and saved over it

 

[WeirdChillFever]

"I'm not apart of this conversation, therefore it shouldn't exist"

And I'll talk to my dad if I wanted someone that doesn't understand a joke

I never said that. Don't start ****.

 

[Coricus]

Also I don't hate FE discussion but it gets tiring.

Really, I wouldn't mind spicing it up with discussion about other games. It could do to be balanced out at times.

But it gets tiring hearing the same grumbling over and over again every time every other game comes up.

"Ugggh not this anime trash again. Shut up weeaboos."

"How can anyone like Sonic? It's complete garbage."

"I don't like what I've seen of *insert game here* and that means it offends me on a personal level."

It's not like Fire Emblem is the only thing that gets overdosed either, Pokemon cranks it up pretty hard during reveal season too, it's just that Heroes actually striking while the iron is hot with updates and Go not doing so means off season is a bit more muddled for FE than Pokemon.

Like, a game JUST came out. It's understandable why people are going crazy with it right now.

It just needs to be balanced out with excitement about other games. Which gets a little harder when people either dislike or don't care about every OTHER game we could talk about. I mean, I'd love to talk about Sonic Forces or Splatoon 2, but the former can only end badly and the latter is met with a perpetually lukewarm reaction because hey look no one cares. Or maybe even some Xenoblade 2, but wait, HE HAS STUPID PANTS. We can't talk about a game if the character has stupid pants!

 

[Deleted member]

I feel like Ive asked this before but It begs to be asked again, why is talking about FE so taboo

Because people are sick of FE after the amount of characters it got in Smash.

Nah, I'm kidding.

 

[Aurane]

And like I said, you don't need to join the conversation. Just go somewhere else. Not every thread on Smashboards is riddled in FE/whatever discussions.

 

[Chrono.]

Happy Birthday, Chrom. I may have not appreciated you in your own game but I did appreciate you more here.

Spoiler

 

[Kurri ★]

Well, played ARMS again, had more fun with it compared to last night, but I still don't think it's anything special. People are claiming the game has enough depth to stand well competitevly, I'm not seeing it. The Naruto games have more going on than ARMS. As something to whip out for a party, it's alright. As something to dedicate long periods of time, it's whatever.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Beat Tearaway: Unfolded.

Overall a very solid and charming platformer from the folks at Media Molecule. Has that same appeal the LittleBigPlanet has.

My only real issues are the rather clunky combat and the sudden ending (the game's at a decent length, but the ending just sort of comes out of left field). There's also a series of optional escort missions that can go screw themselves.

If you have a PS4 and you're in the mood to play a charming and relaxing platformer, Tearaway: Unfolded is for you.

As for the next game I'm going to play.

You'll never see it coming.

So basically, there's not enough content?

Thats my trigger, no

I just got the song out of my head

But is so good

 

[Coricus]

Nah, I'm kidding.

You may be kidding, but with how upset people got over the characters I wouldn't be surprised if someone out there actually did that.

Smash Bros is EXTREMELY serious business with people. People practically had a freakout over not getting their favorite characters by the time it wrapped up, and they were more than happy to have insane reactions to their scapegoats of choice. Heck, three fifths of the cast including every single Smash 4 newcomer is made up of scapegoats that some group or another is upset at for taking a slot that probably wouldn't have been awarded to their character in the first place or ruining the "purity" of the game somehow, it's just that whichever scapegoat is revealed last is going to get blasted the hardest because whenever people find something new to flare their nostrils at they forget the last thing.

 

[Chrono.]

I think she means the combat is way too simplistic for it to be a competitive esport.

Or at least one that has long lasting power.

 

[Deleted member]

And I'll talk to my dad if I wanted someone that doesn't understand a joke

I mean, I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say that it was a tonally off joke, but... I don't know why I assume it was since it seemed more like a remark than a joke.

I never said that. Don't start ****.

Well, not so much your post, but I only quoted your post because of the tidbit on the end about the FE thread that no one uses.

Sort of going along the lines with that we shouldn't be able to talk about it here.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Another fun round of ARMS Global Testpunch! This time I tried the Pro Controller.

Now my impressions of both motion & traditional controls: Yes, there motion has a bit more freedom in terms of arm movement. HOWEVER, the difference is so minor that you won't be at a disadvantage just because of your controller choice

And I tried Helix some more: I got a bit better with him.

 

[Kurri ★]

So basically, there's not enough content?

No, that's not what I'm saying. I don't subscribe to the "more content is better" mentality. What I'm saying is that the content there is shallow. Guilty Gear has less content than ARMS and it's way more fun.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Splatoon didnt also and look how many people love that game

I just hope The Arms they put up in the updates dont go like Splatoon where you have to be a certain level to get them

 

[WeirdChillFever]

My middle name is Tonally-Off-Joke get used to it

I think you need to just not care that people get upset about some things. It's not worth the stress.

You'll never see it coming.

I can't believe you managed to get an early copy of Shenmue 3, SNU.

Honestly, I should watch Berserk(2016/2017) just to laugh at it constantly

I've always pronounced it like that though

Eww, who uses Pegs outside of Gayden and Blessed+Uber Spear!Florina?

IT IS TIME
The holy trilogy is complete

Ah, okay.

Yeah again, I'm not planning on getting this game anytime soon, but nevertheless I'm still interested because of the silliness of the game. But I don't like simplistic gameplay. That's why I'm asking.

inb4 the Grunbeld fight ends up being complete ****.
I'd give my firstborn child up if it meant Berserk got a good adaptation beyond the Golden Age
implying I'll ever have kids LUL

I had to get past security at Mr.SEGA's office. Thankfully I just put a paper bag over my head and got through no problem.

 

[Deleted member]

Alright, so I guess I'll go with Hard from the get go, no one in this thread has conplaimed about difficulty other than from the map design itself so some slightly higher stats won't hurt me

inb4 the Grunbeld fight ends up being complete ****.

I've always wanted to get into Berserk but its Archive Hell status and the lack of a good adaptation hurt it a lot
I sorta watched the movies with my friends but I didn't pay much attention to them.
