That's it. I'm just leaving this tab open from now on. It hasn't even been a day since my last post and I'm still not getting notifications. No other thread does this to me, including ones I haven't posted in after weeks.
I wish there were more tracks from Awakening in Smash 4. Seriously. Considering it's one of the two series in the game to get two newcomers and Kid Icarus: Uprising got a metric ****ton of new music.
Id~Purpose and Duty is great, but I find Conquest to be rather overrated.
Where's Divine Decree, Destiny, Storm Clouds, or Mastermind (although this one's somewhat short, it's still really epic)?
I was shocked we only got three songs, let alone a lack of any remixes. Awakening has one of my favorite soundtracks, period. Where's Don't Speak Her Name? Even some non-fans knew about and praised that song, from what I've heard!
And also seconding Divine Decree, maybe in a medley with Mastermind since they're the same basic tune.
It's kind of silly for people to be sour about the likelihood of Casual Mode in FE14.
I think it's one of the best thing to happen to the series. The game is more accessible and less rigid, so it now has more fans than ever. I think a good direction for the series is preserving the old, yet extending to new horizons at the same time. People like me can continue to enjoy Classic Mode, old faces like Tiki, the harder difficulty settings, etc., while new people are coming into a new game without gruellingly painful difficulty or permanent death, and the nice addition of voice acting to help battles feel more lively.
I'd be lying if peramdeath wasn't one of the reasons I was afraid to try the series initially (the biggest reason was still how hard the games could be to track down until Awakening, though). I did get over it eventually to play FE7, but if given the choice, I'll always go Casual mode unless I want to do a challenge run.
If Casual flat out replaced Classic, I'd understand the complaints, but it's still an option. Just don't choose Casual.
I hope that if we get DLC beyond Mewtwo, music is one of them. If we get them through free updates, fantabulous! If it's paid DLC, perhaps they can justify including the music by added a new stage to go with it. Maybe put Arena Ferox in the Wii U version and add Destiny (Ablaze) and a bunch of other Awakening songs like Rival. Though a brand new stage would be better (personally, I want the stage to handle 8-player smash).
Agreed, especially if stage DLC becomes a thing. So many songs from many franchises I could see in. I still stand by only 3 new EB tunes being a crime. They didn't even bring back Fourside's music! Yes, it's a small franchise, but it did get quite a few tunes in Brawl.
It is a tragedy, but Lanky's verse will live on through parodies.
I am offended by this parody. It ruins it. I mean, Gangrel said that Emmeryn fell gracefully, so she had grace.
In other news, I just flattened Grima. Chrom is a ****ing beast and 3 shots and she was dead. Probably gonna tie up loose ends on the playthrough (get the last few people hitched, get the children and get the children hitched, pick up the SpotPass extras) and put the game down for a time.
Then I'll go and play on Hard since Normal was a bit of joke. Only time I lost a unit on Normal was if I was a ****** (left a flier out to get pulverized by an archer or misjudged my unit's strength) or the AI got stupid lucky.
Hence why I'm hoping FE14 balances the difficulty more. The modes were either very, very easy or hair-ripping-out hard. It'd be nice to have an inbetween.
I paired Lucina X Inigo by accident
I honestly didn't know siblings could achieve S-rank
They can't... They only go to A-rank, at least in Awakening. I had Morgan and Lucina as siblings teamed up all of my main playthrough until I recruited more of the kids to work out my romantic pairings, but they never went beyond A-Support.
The amiibo situation is really silly. Due to this port strike in the US it's caused the amiibos to be in short stock and now it's really annoying to get the amiibos I really want. granted that I wsnt Robin and Lucina over everyone else but it's frustrating to see preorders being come and go like that. I managed to keep my preorder on Ike, but I haven't heard anything about it. I'm thinking of going on an adventure around my area to figure out if I can get any good finds.
Don't forget the people buying 5+ of each and forcing them to sell out within 15 minutes and then those people reselling them for $60+ well into the triple digits at times. The buyers aren't innocent here, either.
I just want Ness and Robin. Maybe Lucina too, but mostly those two. And Marth when he comes back out.
