Social NintenZone Social 6.0 - L'Arachel Edition, Apparently?

[Starlight_Lily]

Tbh, it's a common setting for dungeon crawlers, not enough to have a trope of its own though. MiA just relates the most to EO because the way the Abyss is structured is very similar to EO's Yggdrasil, hell, the first strata is even a green lush forest.

You mean Etrian Odyssey is the key to world peace?

Is your head just 90% Etrian Odyssey and 10% everything elese?

 

[Z25]

So according to the translator leaks that people are trusting and people within the business say seem to check out, the next Pokemon Game will be a Kanto Revisit but very different.

Supposedly the games will be set 100 years after Red and Blue with notable areas of the region sinking into the ocean and being replace with new areas. One such example was that pallet town would be completely submerged.

Honestly if this were true it would be a hype game imo.

Seeing the region in a whole new way would be hype. Plus it give an excuse for new Pokemon and could lead to really diverse areas.

Its definitely a cool idea at least.

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure the Ylgr we saw talking with Helbendi is the real deal, since I doubt Loki would acknowledge Helbendi being a decent guy. On the other hand, the Ylgr who appeared to the group definitely sounds like Loki, since Loki could swap places with Ylgr while Ylgr is being taken to the castle.

I could give Alfonse the benefit of the doubt, as they portrayed Alfonse as the hesitant to trust type who is also knowledgeable. Besides us, I could see Alfonse becoming hesitant to trust Ylgr, but keeping calm and collected to avoid showing his suspicion. But no way of knowing that until the next Chapter.
Sharena is tougher to give benefit to, due to her friends-to-all nature. But it would be a good opportunity to give her some character development if they have her remember her incident with Katarina when and if the doubts shows themselves.

Spoiler

Well yeah, the one in the tower is real. I assume she's off to Surtr's BBQ. But the one joining the player is so obviously an imposer.

...what happened with Katarina? I forget, not much in the 1st book of FEH stands out in my memory.

On an unrelated note, I'm wondering what role Fjorm's brother(I forget his name, had to look up Ylgrs name too) will play in the story.

Noting that 16 unnamed Switch game SKU's have shown up on GameStop's computer system.

I don't think I need to say when they'll be revealed.

Over/under on how many of these will be ports?

On an unrelated note, I'm wondering what role Fjorm's brother(I forget his name, had to look up Ylgrs name too) will play in the story.

Spoiler

It wasn't quite in Book 1. It was in a Paralogue during Book 1. Basically, after defeating Katarina, Luke and Roderick, Katarina tries to claim she was released from the contract and Sharena goes all "Friends" mode on her to the chagrin of Alfonse, who doesn't trust her. Despite that, Sharena's interaction with Katarina gets her to confess that she was lying and she was to try and kill Kiran, but due to Sharena's kindness, she confesses instead.
After beating her and saying their goodbyes, Sharena is lamenting about Katarina and tries telling her brother he was right about trusting her so easily, although Alfonse tells her she shouldn't try to rid herself of her kindness.
That's what I was mostly talking about. Considering Fjorm definitely trusts Ylgr too much and considering Sharena hasn't done much, it would be an opportunity to show off character development for Sharena by mentioning the Katarina Paralogue with trusting Ylgr too much.

I would not be surprised if Hrid was doing his own thing, kinda like what Ephraim did after the fall of Renais. Basically, Ephraim got some of his soldiers and tried to do some guerrilla manoeuvres. Considering Fjorm doesn't know if Hrid is alive, Hrid could be in his own guerrilla force causing trouble for Muspell like Ephraim did with Grado.

 

[Fenriraga]

Going to try Mega Man for the first time via Legacy Collection.

Will I be good at it? We'll see (they're supposed to be tough, right?)

Hard but fair, yeah.
Word of advice: don't play in order. 1 is pretty dated. Start with 2, I THINK the Legacy Collection version has the easy mode we got in the west. All it does is power up your buster, but it makes Megaman 2 the ideal way for newbies to start if they don't wanna dive into the meat of it.

It's close enough. Happens during Book 1, so it may as well have been in Book 1.

I had only the story orbs and kept getting full colorless pools but near the end I did end up Getting something good though:
View attachment 143659
I got Ares! He’s plus res minus hp so not bad. He was my most wanted along with ishthar. Hope to pull her too before the banner ends

Mmm... That is not really a good nature.
At least it is not decreasing his good stats, but increasing his res is not the best nature, as his res is already low.

 

[Chrono.]

I don't like this timeline.

 

[Deleted member]

Yo, Uraraka looks great

Her gimmick seems to revolve around using the destroyable stage parts as ammo for certain attacks(maybe her first super, the one based on her fight against Bakugo, powers up depending on how much she has). But good god, that second super looks amazing, it makes no sense at all but hey, at least it's not a repeat of the Shippuden Storm games.
Still waiting for scans on the new characters tho

I don't like this timeline.

Pardon me but, what would be the point of revisiting the region is it had changed so radically and everyone we knew was dead or 130 years old? (That Goldeen Sushi diet better pay off)

Seems like a compromise between nostalgia and new regions that doesn't really appeal to either faction to me personally.

You guys do not want to admit it, but you male weebs like some sexual fanservice. ADMIT IT, MEN.

Lucius though.

MMM?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

No, Swamp is the secret leader of the Illuminati, wake up sheeple, haven't you realised that's why he ran for President?

We need Opo as Prime Minister to stop Swamp's nefarious plans

Um... doesn't the Illuminati control everything?

What would they have to gain from an election?

I like it when it's tastefully done and fits the character's personality.

And we need a government agency to stop these lame repetitive jokes that are a failed attempt at being funny from flowing too much.

I’m willing to bet Hrid will be the one that will see through Loki’s Ylgr disguise when the Askr Trio + Fjorm run into him. I feel like that will be his biggest contribution to the story.

[Substitution]

Okay.
Okay.
I know I've been gone for a while, but I think I have a solution. Everyone is making fun of Smash terminology right? So I feel, if we're going to properly advance the meta, we need to go for a better dictation of our terms. I propose we use Tiddlywinks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiddlywinks#Terminology

It has a whole bunch of fancy names that could prove really useful in Smash 5 or whatever the **** it's called.
For example.
Gromp: an attempt to jump a pile onto another wink (usually with the squidger held in a conventional rather than Bristol fashion)
Could be a footstool

Lunch: to pot a squopped wink (usually belonging to an opponent)
Is a KO

Squidger: the disc used to shoot a wink
Is your character

This will work I swear.

It turns out that I got this from my free summon today.

I really wanted to eventually get Gray, so I'm really glad I got him! His nature appears to be -HP +Def, which I'm guessing is pretty good for him, since weapon refines can give him more HP.

 

[mario123007]

EDIT: I derped.

I don' if I should take this as a joke, or posting a confused Nick Young face...

You watched the video, right? Basically all of that. Designs clashing with the characters' personalities, sexualization heavily skewed toward female characters for a straight male audience, all that stuff.

Yeah, but I don't really see why character being sexualized will be clashed with the character's personalities...

And ok, so you are just complain that this game is mostly for straight male audience and other jazz? Ok, then give out some proper explanation as to why...
And no this video didn't properly explain that unfortunately...

...You literally don't know what I'm talking about.

The "Starving Kids in Africa" fallacy takes it's name from the phenomenon where people sidestep issues being brought up to say "Why are we talking about this when there are starving kids in Africa?" to try to delegitimize the opposition's argument. It makes it seem like the only problem that exists is the worst one, ignoring the fact that it has nothing to do with the CURRENT problem, or that two issues can arise at the same time.

You clearly taking my quotes out of context tbh....
I was trying to say if you want to show an actual fallacy, bringing up that isn't appropriate because kids starving in third developed countries is actually something that is crucial, and yes ignoring it is bad. But compare to the "sexualization of fictional characters is nothing" is a fallacy... eh... I just don't think it holds the same weight.

Just because you don't think it's a problem doesn't mean it isn't one. For many people it is, so it deserves to be discussed without moving goalposts.

Ok, for many people, you mean people who don't even like fanservice, JRPGs and anime games in the first place?
This is just like someone who doesn't like raisins but like cake goes to a bakery and buy a cake that has raisins and then complains that why there are raisins in the cake....
I know this metaphor sounds weird but hope you get what I meant.

Yes, I know these replies are late, shut up Kevin.

Who's Kevin?LOL

Don't act like you're being imparcial when you always bring up the same point "I don't see a problem with it", a completely personal point and no evidence as to why "there isn't any problem". You have given no "unbiased" or "reasonable" points.

There actually are but we'll'' get to that later.

I'm not talking about the video, I haven't watched it(though I do plan on doing so), I'm talking about the issue as a whole.

I actually do recommend you to watch that video.

I did "look at it in a bigger scope", I understand why Japan does what it does. Doesn't mean it's okay and that's my point.

I see, but also try to aware that animes can be exaggerated at times... they may reflect Japan culture but most situation aren't actually true.

Please don't bring the "not all men" thing here. This doesn't even help your point.

I was just trying to point out that both genders equally supports the artist...

The message she is trying to send is that Japan treats women as objects and that it believes their sexuality belongs to men.
There's a huge porn market in Japan, things that are displayed in what would be considered public areas, and that's not considered "obscene" by them, but when a woman does it, it is. That's the point she was making.

I don't know if there were any porn stuff being displayed in public areas in Japan... not even in my country.

If there are porn or sexual stuff being display in my city I actually would get bothered.
I mean, ok, but now you are getting a bit to involved into the Japan real problems rather than the video game itself...

This has to with the way Japan treats women's sexuality, which has to do with fanservice designs in media, which has to do with XC2, which is a videogame.

If you are mentioning the artist you are talking about...
I agree with the former but...
*sigh*
No... when it comes to XC2

Do I really need to point out how blatant the fanservice is in XC2?

Do I really need to explain how minor the fanservice is in XC2?

You are looking at someone who played 490 hours of XC2, I know better...

Demeaning portrayals in media ARE going to harm them. Media doesn't exist in a vaccum that people forget about outside of it, it does affect how we think.

Realistic examples please....

What does this have to do with anything???

Now you know how I felt eh? LOL
Because Korean drama are being known for that, well... not all Korean dramas are like that but still...

What

Whoa, that's a nice reaction...
Clearly you still don't get it... nobody shoves those fanservice stuff down to your throat, that's all I can say.

Anyways my stance mostly conveys well in this video...that just being posted recently...

This video is a response to that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Sexualization A Case Study video, and a very good one.
This isn't all bashing to the video (Which I don't know why you do that), Appabend fairly mentions the problems in this video despite it being very well made, and those were the points that I saw.

Caution: Minor XC2 spoilers in the video, which is nice compare to the original video that has way too many spoilers.
