I don't think Galacta Knight is going to be a Dream Friend, mainly because he was never on friendly terms with Kirby (or even interacted with him outside of the True Arena, for that matter) and because he's not exactly canon.

Hey I'm not saying it's a bad idea, Galacta Knight is my favorite Kirby character so I wouldn't complain if I'm wrong.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Speaking of Assists, I really hope they fix the issue of ATs and Pokeballs.
Like, some of them make the fight revolve simply around them when they're on the field. All they should do is a simple attack or abikity, not stay out for, like, 10 seconds throwing out **** like Keldeo does.

They're all just mad because none of them are playable.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I kind of want to see Prince Fluff for a Dream Friend.

I have doubts though.

@ShinyLegendary

As promised the other day, I'm gonna give you a few pointers on what to do in FEH, from the perspective of a F2P player (aside from one instance because Grima seemed ****ing worth it... and it was) who isn't a fully serious player, but does put some time, sweat and dedication to the game nonetheless; me.

Spoiler

• Don't use any tier list as gospel.

Instead, think of them as a source of reference as to what the current meta is and as a way to see how much utility the characters have. Especially when you consider how much the meta can change for one reason or another. Taking a good look at past tier lists could be a good way to explain my point, actually.

This is because even the lowest of tiers can actually get at least one kind of job done. For example, the regular Male Robin is a very solid red and colorless counter if you give him Triangle Adept due to his Raven tome and relatively high defense for a mage. In mainly anything else, he can be very lacking, but he still has one good purpose going for him.

But I'm not saying the top tiers are more versatile either. Some, such as Ayra and pretty much any armor unit, do have the stats and skill possibilities to be extremely versatile, but in the end, it's just because they do a better job at whatever purposes the lower tiers have. For example, Brave Lyn and Reindhart are really good because they're fantastic glass cannons, but trying to make them more defensive is straight up stupid.

Doesn't make the low tiers useless though because again, they can still get the job done with the right build. It just requires more time, effort, resources and not trying to let the thought of higher tiers doing a better job make you think these lower tiers are trash (unless you're talking about really bad units like regular Henry and Odin because nothing can really save them other than fodder potential).

With that said, make the best out of the units you have. They won't be huge threats, but if you make the right build for them, they can at least fulfill one purpose. And that one purpose could be very useful.

• Plan ahead when you decide to give someone either a Sacred Seal or make them inherit a skill from someone else.

This is because, as I said, some units don't have the potential of being highly versatile so you can't just give them anything. For example, instead of patching bad stats, focus on the good ones so they can fulfill their intended purpose even better. Not to mention some stuff doesn't really work together. You need to think before you inherit lest you want to waste a unit for absolutely no reason.

• Don't waste your orbs all the time.

Instead of trying to summon all the time, take the time to look at what your team needs what skills the focus units on banners have and whether or not you really need those units. If you just try to get a unit you want, but constantly waste your orbs, that's pretty counterproductive and could sadly lead to you spending actual money to get what you want. Manage your resources instead and think before you spend.

That could also help you a lot in real life at managing your budget once you start living on your own, so it would be a great idea and really beneficial for you in the long run to manage these resources, both in and out of the game.

• Never send anyone home... unless they have nothing to offer.

No matter how bad a unit is, they usually have at least one good thing worth inheriting to another unit, so it would be more beneficial to do that instead.

If you end up with a unit that doesn't have anything to offer as fodder, they're the ones you should send home because again, they have nothing to offer.

• Try not to merge anything that's not a five star.

If you unlock a unit's potential to give them more stars, all merges are lost. And merges can actually affect a unit's performance a lot once you have a good amount of them on a unit. So... yeah... don't merge if they're not at the highest star count.

EDIT: With that said, Moydow's post about some 4 stars being worth merging is worth looking into.

• Level up and play more your main four units.

Sometimes, you might need more than those four units to advance. Arena Assault, Chain Challenges and Tempest Trials come to mind when I say that. If you have more units as backup for one reason or another, it could help you a lot in some situations.

• Never hope to get a good unit.

This might sound stupid, but considering the evergrowing roster and the gacha nature of the name, the chances of you getting a specific unit aren't exactly high. Instead, go in with the thought of getting some stuff worth giving to your other units. That can make it much less frustrating to not get the unit you want.

• Don't pay too much attention on your IVs (or natures, as you call them).

They only really matter on the highest levels of play and anything lower makes it so that most IVs ultimately don't change things that much. Though with that said, still take the time to look up what IVs you got because that can give you a good idea of what you should focus on for your units.

The only thing you should really care about for IVs is if they interfer with the unit's purpose. For example, a -Atk Reinhardt isn't really worth your time since it really hurts his "player phase glass cannon" purpose. Though some cases can actually change a purpose too. For example, my Zelgius is -Spd, which really hurts his "fast armor" purpose, but on the other hand, he's +Def, which makes him a fantastic physical wall.

• Finally, don't hesitate to ask us for advice on what to do.

A bunch of us are actually pretty knowledgable and could give you some really great ideas on what to do with a unit that you might have never came up with yourself. So asking us for tips is never a bad idea. Especially if you're unsure on how to apply any of the tips I previously mentionned.

Heck, you've probably seen me to it a few times as well. This is because, even though we do have some knowledge of the game, none of us are truly perfect and we all need a little bit of help sometimes. (Except Moydow, apparently, because he makes some really awesome **** without any tips from us)

And if different ideas are told by different people, think about which one would be the most useful for your team.

This is a whole pile of legit advice.

And also a good reminder I really need to sit down and work out what my lower-tier dudes can do besides sit around, because I've got a hunch I'm sleeping on someone.

THIS BETTER ****ING MEAN SOMETHING!

All it really means is that Nintendo just renewed the trademarks for that brand...

For years we've seen trademarks renewed for Eternal Darkness and such and we've yet to see something from that series...

I honestly think if they let the right people on Eternal Darkness they could have a hit on their hands considering the current popularity of horror games and how (in)famous the sanity mechanics of the first game have become.

 

[praline]

I odered pizza and a drink... I just noticed I accidentally clicked nestea instead of Root Beer.

UGH!

 

[EmceeEspio]

You know, come to think of it, Nintendo has a lot of somewhat dead franchises that could be cool put into the hands of some new developers. Maybe even retool some of them into franchises Nintendo doesn't have one of, like Murasame Castle as a character action game.

Well aware.

But with 7 of the 9 trademarks being actual upcoming releases seems very suspicious.

I did that once with Coke Zero when I thought it was regular Coke, it was alarming. lol

And the eighth one is "Metroid"

I mean, with a new game coming, is it farfetched to assume "Metroid" and "Metroid Prime" might both be related to Prime 4?

Glad to see Nintendo didn't forget that Star Fox turned 25. Hopefully we'll see some great-selling games before it turns 30.

Ryuuou No Oshigoto! Overall Impressions:

I learned about Ryuuou no Oshigoto through the Anime Man’s video interview of the light novel author last year. I do not remember much of what he said back, but I do remember the way the light novel author explained his series to the interviewer had me curious about shogi in general and had me very optimistic that Ryuuou no Oshigoto could be a surprise hit of the Winter 2018 season, despite the anime’s typical/average looking promotional material. I gave the anime the chance, and I was surprised!

Ryuuou no Oshigoto is a very straightforward series about a shogi master Yaichi, who wants to dominate the shogi world with his mad skills. From that point, Yaichi recruits many really young female shogi players like Ai Hinatsuru and Ai Yashajin to aid in his long quest to become the #1 shogi player. With that kind of premise, you would expect this anime to falter and focus on fan-service for 3/4th of each episode.

Surprisingly, the plot is very focused on progression. The anime centers its attention on shogi games, mainly utilizing the aspect for substantial character development and tension. Although I had no knowledge about shogi, watching each match unfold felt really engaging thanks to the decent build-up of character conflict that Yaichi and his disciples face. The loll shenanigans are rare. When ‘fan-service’ is present, it is executed in a way that is genuinely funny and adorable as hell, serving as a good method for rewarding viewers after an intense match of shogi.

There are many memorable moments within the anime, but I do have one major complaint that has less to do with its story, but more on how the anime adaptation utilizes its 1-cour time. The way some events progressed felt a bit jarring. It feels like the adaptation as a whole only does the minimum job, focusing on rushing to the most important story events in the light novel. This is a problem for me, because for every side-character (Not counting Yaichi, the Ais, and Keika) that gets the center of attention, the character is rarely utilized again in the story and I hardly get the chance to see their back-stories explored to make me care for them. Char, Ayano, and Mio are the biggest victims, as they never got the time to develop at all and more-so acted as loli comedy relief. We hardly see Yaichi teaching his other young disciples and his relationship with each of them. That got me somewhat disappointed.

Not that it makes the anime mediocre, as Ryuuou no Oshigoto was still extremely enjoyable to watch and it got me interested in shogi in general (It also got me to buy the light novels too). It is that if this anime had been a two-cour, I would not have felt as conflicted. I would definitely recommend this if you have the slightest curiosity about shogi and can tolerate the occasional loli shenanigans. The anime adaptation is a serviceable way to get into the series, but it serves more as a sample demo than being a fully fleshed out adaptation. I am hoping that BookWalker continues the English digital release of the light novel after the anime airing, because I need MORE Ai Hinatsuru and shogi in my life.
