I like the gameplay but I would be more interested if everything in the plot didn't scream "ow the edge" to me

Is this another thing that was supposed to be in the Direct? At this point they may just skip it and just post all the trailers instead and be done with it.

I agree with most of what you said, Historia is becoming more of a badass and it was a decent episode overall. A bit underwhelming compare to the last one imo (the fight between the Scouts and Kenny's Squad was on of my favorite scene of the season) but it's understandable as i feel it was kind of a 'bridge' episode between the 'chapel arc' and the fight against Rod's titan (there was a lot to clear up story wise, and it was well done via the conversation between Historia, Hange, Eren and the others on the carriage).
The CGI Rod Reiss was a bit odd as you say but i understand why they use CGI for the sense of scale it gives (it really felt like as he was big as a mountain compared to the lil' scouts running around it on their horses lol) but it always clashes with the anime style somehow (just like the CGI Colossal Titan imo).
Some highlights for me, Mikasa being a freaking ninja as usualwhen Historia is blown away by Rod Reiss's transformation she just comes out of nowhere lol.
Also something was said about Rod's Titan acting like an Abnormal (not noticing humans) and i just thought: what if royal blood is the reason why some people turned into Abnormals instead of regular Titans? That's just a hypothesis but maybe depending on the amount royal blood the person has, the titan transformation is influenced in some way even if it's only traces of it.
Last thing, i've been a fan for awhile and i'm really starting (yeah... just starting) to get annoyed by Eren pissy behavior. At least he's not really the 'protagonist' anymore since season 2 (i think) the emphasis on other character is very welcome. But again in this episode he was acting like a baby (good thing Historia and Levi were the 'adults in room' and were there to shake him up. Damn even Sasha was more mature than him and called him a baby(like Dina Fritz's smiling Titan, for example)).
I'm really looking forward to the more mature and composed Eren we'll get in the future.
It's a good time to be an Historia fan! Her most badass moment is still to come, as for myself Hange is my favorite character in this serie so i had plenty of good moments in this season too
A fellow Historia fan!

Always great to meet more Historia fans!
That is an interesting theory you've got regarding the origins of the Abnormal Titans. Those with royal blood becoming those kinds of Titans seem plausible considering just how special those with royal blooded are treated when they gain Titan powers.
As for the Eren thing, yeah, I can see why seeing Eren being upset and whiny like that can be annoying. Thankfully, you've got the other characters that have to tell him to snap out of it, from what Historia did to him last episode to what his other teammates told him this episode.
And to be fair, I'd say Eren is justified with the way he's acting at the moment. The dude just learned about the truth about his dad's fate, the way his dad nearly massacred an entire family, and the fact the Founding Titan can't be brought to its full potential according to Rod. Everything that Eren has learned in cave ultimately left him emotionally shattered, making him think his entire life has been a lie until now and that he'll never fulfill his dream either, thus making him suicidal.
But it's during this low point of Eren's emotional and mental state that he will undergo his defining character transformation.
Yeah, you can probably tell I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Hange's cool too (another one of my favorite AoT characters). I think this arc is where most of her best moments are; some of my favorite scenes with her this season are when she tortures Djel, punches that one Interior MP dude like Saitama, and her telling Flegel "the Survey Corps has always experienced defeat."

The only flaw in the theory I can think of is that back in Marley, Dina was the only royal alive there from what we're told (since the other royal family members that stayed in Marley were burned alive along with Kruger's parents for trying to restore Eldia's power back then), so knowing that Dina was the only royal and how all the Abnormal Titans we've seen aside from Rod came from Marley, I'm not sure if they are that.
However, like you said, it's possible some of those Abnormals might've been who may not necessarily be royal, but they could have small traces of it (perhaps they could be like distant-distant relatives of the royal family), thus making them Abnormal Titans a tiny bit compared the the full blown ones.

But it's during this low point of Eren's emotional and mental state that he will undergo his defining character transformation.
Next episode will have the scene where Eren punches himself several times on the wall with Mikasa having to stop him. While he does this in his depressed state, it's through his self-punching where the old Eren "dies," as Eren comments, "I hope I finished that brat off" once he's done hurting himself. In other words, he is getting rid of the old bratty self he once was to become a different person (Soul explains it best in his "The Genius of Eren Jaeger's Character" video).
Eren's depressed phase was the moment he began to grow on me and make me care for him as a character, and by the time he sealed the hole in Wall Maria, he became one of my favorite characters in the series.
It wasn't until the Marley Arc when Eren solidified himself as not only my second favorite character in AoT and one of my favorite anime characters, but also one of my favorite protagonists in fiction. I definitely agree the latest arc in the manga is when Eren was at his best and most badass, and I too look forward to seeing older Eren animated.

For what it's worth it's like a 2012 game where ow the edge was all the rage.
The plot is minimal anyway.

, this is your most viewed YouTube that hit my home page.

I bet I could have put anything in that video and still gotten 60,000 hits, just by putting "Homer Simpson" in the title.

Hey my dude, getting ready for this storm?
Turns out my apartment seems like a pretty safe area according to the maps. Besides where my car is parked of course, lol.
I thought the game sold relatively well though? I don't know if it can get a sequel though, maybe once Sakurai finishes Smash or something?
I still want to see other, older franchises get a new light. Not in the sense of F-Zero, more something like Mach Rider, which had a pretty cool concept.
I posted that video for memes years ago and somehow it got 60,000 views. So it probably showed up in his recommendations or he was looking for Simpsons stuff or something.

ToasterBrains has got to be the most original username I've seen on here. You even had a Rodney Dangerfield Genie as an avi for a while, props.
On that note, everyone, how'd you get your username? Mine's Italian for a mad man. Which is exactly what I am, right down my Italian IRL name.

Hopefully my sleep schedule is back to normal tonight.
It's been a big mess every since I came back from my vacation.

Holy **** wasn't expecting anyone to bring that up. Lol.
My username is from my late dog's name (Toast) + uh... I got good grades regularly. So... ToasterBrains. It's a bit vain but I've been using it for more than a decade now I think so it's not something I'll be able to separate from
Dude you made like, um, 6 bucks I think? You can buy like 5 things from a fast food joint
You should've seen him back in his Let's Play gig.

I've been itching to get back into it my dude
But YouTube just ain't the place for it anymore.
So I've been slowly but surely trying to build up something to do on Twitch.

Praline’s are the candied peanuts, the name also comes from my favourite asterisk holder in Bravely Default. I also chose it cause the name sounds amusingly effeminate.

The moment Venus linked this thread and said "go here for off topic discussion" I knew this thread would get swarmed by the ****posters from there. To which I say: welcome to the Church of Swamp

Distant Counter is just a waste of a slot if I have Dazzling Staff, though.
But other than that it's probably just another situation where the initiating party wins (and another reason why real-time PvP wouldn't work).
That is one way to look at it.
Oooor.
I will first set my team in the following position and maneuver its back against the far wall. In this formation, all four dragons are under the effects of Ward Dragons, Goad Dragons, Spur Def/Res 2, and Drive Res. M!Grima and Nowi get close S Support boosts, while F!Grima and Tiki get their far S Support boosts.
Brief review of the crew:
You can import this at https://arcticsilverfox.com/feh_sim/ if you'd like to save the trouble of setting it all up:
Code:
ENEMIES - CUSTOM LIST
Robin(F) (FV) (5*+4 +atk -hp)
Weapon: Expiration
Special: Glimmer
A: Dragonskin
B: Vantage 3
Robin(M) (FH) (5*+6 +atk -spd)
Weapon: Expiration
Special: Aether
A: Mirror Stance 2
B: Vengeful Fighter 3
C: Ward Dragons
S: Quickened Pulse
Tiki(A) (5*+8 +def -res)
Weapon: Lightning Breath+
Special: Bonfire
A: Steady Breath
B: Quick Riposte 3
S: Distant Def 3
Upgrade Path: 3
Nowi (5*+8 +res -hp)
Weapon: Lightning Breath+
A: Steady Breath
B: Swordbreaker 3
S: Quick Riposte 3
Upgrade Path: 3The net effect is that - assuming I don't use Nowi's Rally to tack on some more - the lowest Res you will see in combat is F!Grima, with 37.
And I will do nothing but mash End Turn until you arrive.
Pain+ all you want - the skill does not kill, and either Wrys listed will be unable to do the final damage to finish the job.
If you leave it at that and do the same, we will joyously discover together how many turns it takes to crash FEH.
Attack M!Grima from directly above, and I'll ignore it. Attack either F!Grima or Tiki from the far left or far right sides and I will move the entire formation one square towards the attacker. This maneuver will take priority over others. Eventually this will either pin the assailant to the wall, where I'll be able to destroy them at leisure, or force them to move into one of the diagonal positions directly above.
Strike at any dragon from a diagonal and I will move the entire formation one square over or up to accommodate, putting you in range of two dragons as I do so. One will burn your Miracle charge, the other will snack on the cue ball.
Eventually, if you're wise, you'll be left with one unit directly in front of M!Grima. On the first turn this is the case, I will move F!Grima forward one, Tiki left two, have Nowi rally Tiki, and end. I will chase your remaining baldy with this Dragon Ball formation until the two Grimas are within range to strike him on the same turn.
Hilariously, everything I've just said applies even if either Wrys build is merged to 5*+10
Your final hope will be in your dancers. The sword and dagger dancers will be unable to pierce the dragons' Def - and the lowest Def dragon will Vantage them to dust for their trouble. You will need Summer Festival Micaiah, Dancer Inigo, or Bride Ninian, and whichever you bring, they'll need Watersweep to counter F!Grima. These three may be able to poke through the dragons' Res for one damage with sufficient buffs, merges, or triangle abuse, assuming you've used Pain+ to bring the team to that point. I haven't done that math, it's only a hypothetical - but it's also your only chance.
It is a crunchy, salty, and delicious snack food.
That is the most important point of comparison.

I keep accidentally slipping into ****posty territory in the other thread and because it's not a social thread (It's been sorta dead here so the more the merrier.
Also it'd be less FEH discussions.
) I figure I should have this one constantly up and just check the other one occasionally.- Status
