Jokes on you when you were sleeping I made you sign a legal document stating only Christopher Walken can ground me.

So there.

Bold of you to assume I sleep.

My issue with Astral Chain is that from what I saw of the story it's a tad uncomfortable given irl stuff and that it's clear they wanted a trilogy of this so it seems that it doesn't really do much of a story at once. Could clearly be wrong tbf

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

In all the Fe TH fanart, all of them boil down to Edelgard and Dimitri being children and fighting while Claude is just confused or watching with a "Hehe, idiots" smile and goofing off

 

[Z25]

I'll spare you the Edelgard talk since the rest of thread is still going on about her, but if it's one character that really surprised me, it's Dorothea. Going into the game I honestly thought she'd be among my least favorites since it seemed like they were going for something similar to Charlotte, who I didn't really enjoy.

Then she ended up having some of the best supports in the game, with her Ferdinand supports being my personal favorites. AND she ditched the hat after the timeskip, which was also great. Her motivations make sense and highlight some key shortcomings about Fódlan's current society, her reactions to the game's events are really well done, especially in the war phase, and Allegra Clark's voice work is phenomenal. She's one of the characters who changes the most over the course of the game.

Spoiler

Her monastery dialogue after the Great Bridge of Myrddin is heartbreaking on Verdant Wind and Azure Moon if you didn't recruit Ferdinand, since otherwise you kill him there.

Like, going into the game I expected her to be my least favorite of the Black Eagles, and then she turned out to be my third favorite in the entire game lmao.

Props for Ferdinand though since he's my second favorite in the game. :V

I just got her and caspar’s A support and it’s honestly one of the most wholesome ones. So was Huebert’s and Bernie’s A one

Does anybody have a high quality image of the Everyone Is Here Banner?

I’ve been trying to find this for probably a year now, before the launch banner was even completed.

Still no luck.

I cannot stress how much I’d love to have a print of this in my bedroom.

I hope Nintendo releases a full-size print once active development on the game ends. I wanna frame that **** and hang it in my living room.

It's missing the DLC cast but here you go:

Dorothea is k but my heart belongs to Linhard. Other thrn the fact Im trying to get my male Byleth to put a ring on it, he is also hilarious

 

[Shadowwolflink]

Its LaxChris sure.

Its from 4Chan sure.

But hey at least an supposed leak. Better then nothing given the drought.

More likely not thought its fake.

Wow, that was basically unwatchable.

First with the 17 second intro, then "this leak is from 4chan... So like I said guys, this leak is from 4chan." 30 seconds of showing the actual leak and 10 minutes of "blah blah blah," it's the same reason that I got sick of watching Blocked Content, the whole video is padding. I'll stick to watching Papagenos for leaks.

 

[Wademan94]

While I’m glad to see Pauline make the cut I. Tour, why the hell is LUIGI not in the first wave of racers?!

 

[Cosmic77]

God, I am NOT looking forward to when ShoShi actually comes out because we ALL know there'll be smug ******** going "HMMM WHAT A SURPRISE THE BEST SELLING FRANCHISE ON THE PLANET WAS STILL SUCCESSFUL DESPITE YOUR GENUINE CRITICISMS ON THE ROSTER OR FOR THE FRANCHISE AS A WHOLE OHOHOHOHOHOHO I'M SO SMARMY!"

I mean, just about every franchise is smashing records on the Switch. A freaking Mario Party game managed to get 7 million sales. Then there's the Let's Go games, a third remake of Gen I that used Go mechanics, which managed to make 11 million in six months.

SwSh was always going to do well, and it's honestly not that big of a deal if it does just as good as the previous two Gens.

 

[Lamperouge]

I’d think Astral Chain has plenty to talk about. It no one bought it but me.

I'm buying a copy next week.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Sadly no but don't Gamestops or anything let you bring the game back the next day if you don't like it with a full refund?

God, I am NOT looking forward to when ShoShi actually comes out because we ALL know there'll be smug ******** going "HMMM WHAT A SURPRISE THE BEST SELLING FRANCHISE ON THE PLANET WAS STILL SUCCESSFUL DESPITE YOUR GENUINE CRITICISMS ON THE ROSTER OR FOR THE FRANCHISE AS A WHOLE OHOHOHOHOHOHO I'M SO SMARMY!"

Probably. Idk. But that’s not exactly convenient

 

[Deleted member]

Wouldn't Waluigi fit Chaotic Evil

Yeah but I want good characters only

I just want Dimitri so we can have Midnight Bliss in Smash.

Eh, Edelgard is better

How about Ridley?

Not chaotic enough. Ridley gloats about killing someone's parents(that you didn't even actually kill directly) which is hella evil but it's not chaotic enough.
Unnamed Goose will ruin someone's sandwich just because. It follows no rhyme or reason, he just does it because he can.

Me girl.
Bold boy

Except the story shows that it never corrected itself until after the war?i
I will beat you to death

Gwen why does it feel like you're bi-erasing yourself?

Its LaxChris sure.

Its from 4Chan sure.

But hey at least an supposed leak. Better then nothing given the drought.

More likely not thought its fake.

Not clicking but I see the thumbnail with a cute girl in a kimono wielding a katana so I deem this leak real

 

[Opossum]

Sleepy Squeamish Boy is great too, really. His joint paralogue with Leonie is legitimately hilarious. Chris Patton's delivery does wonders for the character too. He was also Kliff in SoV and he was great there as well.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

With Fire Emblem, I think there’s a lot of context that folks don’t apply to Edelgard, which leads to an incomplete look at her character. I often find that folks say, “She’s evil in 3-4 routes” as if it means anything.

War is also seen as “an ultimate evil” yet historically, major change in the world comes from major economic downturns...or war. Nobody else is willing to stand up to Rhea and the authority of the Church. While certain things Edelgard was told were not true, and that she could be called misguided, the point stands that Rhea, and thereby the Church, were effectively oppressing the continent, not allowing it to move forward, and perpetuated a system in which suffering was often brushed under the rug.

Do I agree with Edelgards actions entirely? No. But considering her hands were tied (TWSITD spies in monastery, can’t trust classmates to not freak out at the idea of war...literally think about the reaction a lot of fans give), diplomacy with Rhea was never an option. It sounds nice in concept, but it’s not applicable to the story and isn’t realistic.

I haven’t played Blue Lions. I will at some point. But Golden Deer, while clarifying why Rhea did certain things, did nothing to convince me that Rhea was not a problem. There are simply things I cannot agree with when it comes to leadership, and while religion in itself isn’t a bad thing, having a religious leader abusing their power/position, allowing particular things to happen under their watch, and the system itself with the Monastery and the “school which is also run by the church” makes me question things.

As they say, “All is fair in love and war”. I also think the conversation isn’t as black and white as folks make it out to be. Everything changes depending on the path you take in the game, so theoretically they’re all valid in particular ways.

Yeah but other franchises didn't get controversies like "We are no longer providing what has been the standard for 2 decades" with such devoted shills who even go so far to say "They should remove more!" Nobody doubted ShoShi will do 15 million or so but people are gonna act smug about it and use that fact to deny any criticisms

I'll stick to watching Papagenos for leaks.

PapaGenos is one of the few Smash-Centric Youtubers that I can fully enjoy his content is really well done and he has a consistent quality to his videos. He also only talks about Smash leaks when there's something to actually talk about which I respect and appreciate (unlike Blocked Content and LaxChris).

His videos are great and he's way better than those other two though I understand why those two make videos the way they do as churning out the content they do gives them more revenue than something like PapaGenos' vids.

Didn't PapaGenos make a 12 minute video talking about Sakurai making a single tweet commenting on Chrono Trigger winning an award for 'best game of the Heisei era'? Doesn't seem much better with that knowledge tbh

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Astral Chain is fantastic. But that's basically all I can realistically say about it. It doesn't lend itself to discussions the way a story and character focused game like Three Houses does

I mean. Obviously I disagree. But if you don’t have anything today than I can’t force you to talk about it.

I'm buying a copy next week.

Yay!

Yeah but I want good characters only

To be fair, it's not a one-way street. I'm sure there's gonna be more than a few people on Twitter criticizing and harassing people sharing their enjoyment online because they feel like purchasing SwSh at full price and giving it any kind of positive reception will encourage Game Freak to gut out the National Dex again in the next Gen.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I haven't seen many of Papagenos videos myself, but you probably shouldn't judge an entire Youtubers content off of one video.

 

[Ivander]

Name misspellings be a pain indeed. Right, Shishoe?

 

[Will]

speaking of 3 houses

currently halfway-ish in pre-timeskip blue lions. i like how optimistic dimitri is, the boi just wants to be happy.

Spoiler

The fact that Kronya originally had her villain voice before fixing it to the fake Monica voice (in that one month where you can find her talking to Edelgard) and that gave me a Mind Crush for how I didn't notice it.

The way I see it, if you want to work the algorithm and make a 10 minute video about Smash leaks that's fine, but don't spend the whole 10 minutes on one leak. Even if some of them are obviously fake, it's still fun to discuss or even laugh at them. A good rule of thumb would be 2-3 minutes per leak, something like a Smash leaks version of Phil Defranco's news videos would be perfect.

[Scoliosis Jones]

When it comes to Pokémon...well, here’s how I see it.

As a Pokémon lover who has completed the National Dex, and maintained that with USUM, I personally am not bothered about the National Dex issue as much as other folks. This does not mean, however, that I disagree with the frustration about the National Dex.

I will simply leave it as this: both views are valid. If the National Dex being removed does not upset you, or does not kill your hype, then that’s your opinion. If you really look forward to completing the National Dex, and are very frustrated that it will not be in the new games, that’s your opinion.

We may want to convince each other to care about the other point of view, and I think it’s important to feel that way. While I feel the reasoning was poorly worded (animations and what not) I do think the amount of Pokémon was always an elephant in the room. By that I mean, eventually, some of the Pokémon would be axed from a particular game in order to add content in other spaces of gameplay.

Granted, I might be singing an entirely different tune if Pokémon I really like, such as Greninja, Lucario, Garchimp, etc... weren’t in the game. However, that is not currently the case.

Nobody should be smug. It’s literally a monster catching game with story. But I also don’t think people should be chastised for being ok with it. It comes down to taste. (Not saying anybody is arguing right now, because nobody is. I just hope things stay reasonable.)

so you also illegally entered this website at the age of 12

there's a lot of people specifically like us, it seems

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I haven't seen many of Papagenos videos myself, but you probably shouldn't judge an entire Youtubers content off of one video.

True but seeing as that video is exactly what people say he isn't, I'm not too inclined to check his other content as for all I know, it's all like that

To be fair, it's not a one-way street. I'm sure there's gonna be more than a few people on Twitter criticizing and harassing people sharing their enjoyment online because they feel like purchasing SwSh at full price and giving it any kind of positive reception will encourage Game Freak to gut out the National Dex again in the next Gen.

Considering the people I follow on twitter and **** I'm not going to find people harassing others for not hating the game though, I'm more likely to find smug assholes acting like Pokemon could ever fail and that not failing here means criticisms aren't valid

 

[Will]

oh **** i just noticed Noipoi surpassed my post count

guess my time has come to give up posting and becoming a rarely seen relic

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Already got that worked out with a mod.

I guess twelve year old me either ignored that rule or accidentally skipped over that, which I don't really like.

That's epic, watcha gonna do to celebrate ?

I'll probably just take it a bit easier than usual. May cut down on the work I do, since I do voice over and stuff for my channel almost every day.

The student has become the master

 

[Wario Bros.]

So here is the priority tier for my Dr. Mario virus sprite project (from highest to lowest)

- Dr. Mario
- Dr. Mario World
- Dr. Mario board game
- Dr. Wario
- Dr. Luigi
- Virus (NES prototype)

 

[Will]

The student has become the master

if im going to be a teacher then at least pay me the salary of one because even if its garbage its better than what i have now

 

[Ivander]

It will go both ways regarding Pokemon. The thing about hate, criticism and mockery on the internet is that it's going to be loud and attentive. And it'll mostly be from the ones who don't care about the games themselves, but want attention. We'll be getting whiners and smug ******** from both sides.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I didn't really expect anyone to get upset over it.

Bingo!

Bingo!
