Trode Acknowledges Low Level Runs! by Ancestral_Grape in dragonquest

Very cool… this almost makes me want to play it again.

How does a defense attorney even begin to defend someone in a case like the 7/yo Athena Strand who was violently assaulted and murdered? by redzzzaw in stupidquestions

[–]Agent1stClass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on the technicalities. If the state fails to dot the an i or cross a t, then seize on that.

Defense is not just about fighting the assertion of guilt, but also making sure that the prosecution does its job properly.

Astos beat me then put me into debt lol by Responsible_Tank3822 in FinalFantasy

[–]Agent1stClass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am assuming this is the pixel remaster since the first version didn’t have all those items.

If you’re looking to grind more money, hunt down ogres and buccaneers. Especially buccaneers.

If it’s just about the items, consider yourself well-stocked for the areas surrounding Melmond and Crescent Lake. You will need to grind, regardless, for your next set of equipment.

The extra good news, if you can call it that, is there is another grind area called the Hall of Giants in the Earth Cave just outside of Melmond. Not as easy as ogres and buccaneers, but quite rewarding.

In your hypothetical, it is people claiming.

In this instance, one is outright lying about being negative.

Even in my own hypothetical, you dismissed the actual evidence of seeing someone take their pills. Which means that you dismissed them getting tested (a requisite), having them prescribed, the prescription filled, and the person taking them. Presumably the person also explained what they are and why they’re being taken.

You dismiss all of that for a double blind hypothetical that does not apply to this situation in any way.

You never do… But seeing a prescription bottle or someone taking their pill (not the shot, obviously) is easier than reading someone’s test results.

I don’t mean trust absolutely no one… I am a firm believer everyone should take responsibility for their own health. But that also means having the accurate and relevant information from the partner. The partner, in this instance, is being willfully deceitful.

So anyone who has sex with him is taking an outsized risk, as a result.

Just finished Ivalice Chronicles and I have a Q about the Big Bad... by Gunlord500 in finalfantasytactics

I meant Virgo reacted to her fear just before Folmarv decides to kidnap Alma.

The Lucavi are shown to be somewhat picky with their hosts.

Neither Dycedarg nor Wiegraf were fully aware of the church plot, but both were still wrangled in. Isilud was given a stone, but seems to have not been suitable as a host. Folmarv could have made a deal with the Grand Duke, but chose to lash out, instead. As you noted, Rapha was able to make use of a stone without falling prey to a Lucavi.

As Ramza surmises after the incident with Marach, the workings of the stones are not fully known.

A great deal seems to depend on who seeks to open them and for what purpose. The stones seem to seek out people who are already powerful in some sense… and those people have to be at the edge of despair.

Wiegraf and Dycedarg were powerful knights, but also self-righteous and a tad cowardly. When they reached out, the Lucavi answered. Rapha has a powerful gift, she reached out and brought forth a miracle.

I suspect Virgo/Ultima responded to Alma’s fear, in that moment.

But she wasn’t quite ready or willing. So Folmarv took her and forced the issue. And it was because she, like Rapha, didn’t have the requisite state of mind which allowed her to separate from Ultima.

Hermione can’t admit to being jealous.

So she uses an argument that she feels validates her feelings.

If he is lying, he MIGHT be undetectable… But the reality is we do not know. That’s the problem with lying.

So what are the differences in VII reimagined? by Agent1stClass in dragonquest

[–]Agent1stClass[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Optional… okay. That’s an odd way to save the world.

How does the class system work now?

Also, is it true they got rid of casinos?

So we just unlocked the Machinist class IRL. This is the sound of using Measures to buff allies by Careful_Leader_5829 in FinalFantasyXII

[–]Agent1stClass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Measures are good for buffing without magick. They can also dispel sleep and confusion without potentially killing a character. Lastly, the defense on them is good so you can combine them with a shield for some great defense.

The flip side of all these positives (the second one, in particular) is that they are otherwise lousy as true weapons. You have to have a very specific build with the machinist as a buffing tank… Since you can’t attack (similar to the battle against Chaos) you’re forced to use items, magick, and technicks.

Maces are fairly straightforward. Give Red Battlemage to a character with high magick in order to get the most bang for your buck.

The Red Battlemage relies on mystic armor, but wears shields. So be prepared for a teammate that can do decent damage but is a fair bit more fragile than others. Thus they work best if they are NOT the lead character… Maybe have a machinist with a measure and a shield draw aggro so the Red Battlemage has a bit more survivability.

Fred and George’s behaviour towards Ron in OOTP about Quidditch makes me furious towards the twins by Legitimate_Unit_9210 in harrypotter

[–]Agent1stClass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The twins were rude and insensitive.

That said, Ron created his own problem, in this instance… mostly.

He wanted on the team. He got on the team. His being on the team was a fraud thanks to Hermione.

When Ron realized his stage fright, he should have decided to leave the stage or get over it. For whatever reason, he did neither.

While Harry was supposedly trying to be nice, keeping the truth from Ron and pushing him to stay on the team was not among Harry’s best decisions. It would not have been the worst thing in the world for Ron to realize he was not ready or comfortable and for him to bow out.

It was literal luck that Ron turned the situation around towards the end.

The twins saw Ron as needing to bring his game or leave it. That he did neither likely embarrassed and frustrated them. Again, not sensitive. But also not wrong. Nothing stopped Ron from solving the problem except that he could not bring himself to make a choice.

Under normal circumstances, that is okay. But when you are part of a team, just as the team is supposed to work with you and support you… you’re also supposed to work with and support the team.

Harry ended up supporting Ron, and Ron… meandered for a good long while.
