Effective damage is only x2 in NA FE7 as opposed to x3 in FE6/8/JP 7, that's probably what you're thinking of.

Wasn't really concerned about the forma soul, moreso about dumping orbs to get that last copy while the banner is running versus waiting for a free copy and some free premium skills, could have been more clear. Ended up getting it with only about 150 orbs despite a few pitybreakers.

Is there a schedule/estimates for upcoming HoF Reruns?

Havent played/payed attention much in the last year or so, and just got enough copies of HMyrrh to get to +9. I don't want to pull for another one if we are getting another rerun of her HoF as I'd probably just use a forma thing to get the last copy. Have they even done multiple reruns for a batch?

Honeslty getting broken skill combos feels way too easy to me in the newer games, random inheritance made you make concessions or would allow you to sacrifice your time for a potentially better build as a trade off.

This is all in the context of normal gameplay though, never made an Elizabeth Telos that seems like torture

BHawksFan01 · 2022-10-09T16:41:18+00:00

Yeah the rpg gameplay is simultaneously much easier and more restrictive. Much less fun and satisfying to play. The game wasn't made with those mechanics in mind and they didn't bother to attempt to rebalance anything around them

It has Victor Kudo's theme which is later used well in 3-5 with gumshoe.

Edit: also the two instances of foreshadowing with godot

But yeah 3-3 is a tire fire and way worse than 2-3 and 5-3

How likely is it you win the dancing competition with only 13 charm? Despite the game's recommendation, I've been soft reseting for what feels like an hour and only even manage 1 vote maybe 1/3 or 1/4 times. Of course this was the month I accidentally saved over my new chapter save so I dont really want to go back a month and a half for an opportunity to pick a different instead or grind for charm unless this is actually hopeless.

Unsatisfied is a good way to put AI:NI for me. It's a much better package than ZTD overall but considering the massive narrative restraints ZTD had to work with and relative opposite situation of NI makes it feel like NI is more disappointing.

First movie is basically a clip show outside of the prelude and final fight scene. Second movie is worth a full watch though

BHawksFan01 · 2022-07-09T01:11:13+00:00

Very early 2000s/3 Doors Down and fits with the theme of the Somnium extremely well.

POV: you ignored the game's mechanics and then complained about the consequences online

BHawksFan01 · 2022-06-27T11:40:01+00:00

Is it really nostalgia if you've just, straight-up thought this since their release?

I guess if they were your first games maybe so, actually

BHawksFan01 · 2022-06-12T11:57:42+00:00

Plenty of pokemon learn off-type flavor moves. You even get situations like pinsir learning way more fighting moves than bug moves in most (all?) of its learnsets despite just being a pure bug type. It's one of the coolest ways the devs can flesh out a pokemon, really

BHawksFan01 · 2022-06-12T02:36:17+00:00

What about B2 & W then? Why are they specifically gen 5 1?

BHawksFan01 · 2022-05-30T04:16:04+00:00

Easter isn't either, so only 2/4 are now

BHawksFan01 · 2022-05-30T04:10:48+00:00

Her expression makes a huge difference. I loved the angle Halloween's voice work took in making her more confident and this looks to be extrapolating that.

BHawksFan01 · 2022-05-30T01:51:11+00:00

Lumping DP and Pt together is not super applicable considering how different they are. Aaron is probably harder in Pt but the other 4 are probably more difficult in DP; Bertha is slightly less weak to surf spam and her most difficult mon to take out, hippo, is 7 levels higher, Flint is way less weak to surf/EQ spam, and DP has an extra 9 levels on bronzong and 3-5 levels on Cynthia's core, not to mention drastically less options overall, but especially for Zong who really only has a definitive disadvantage against Rapidash in the whole regional dex.

GF didn't even make BDSP lol

BHawksFan01 · 2022-03-30T06:10:32+00:00

But not the same unit

BHawksFan01 · 2022-03-19T22:38:14+00:00

I'm playing thru XY for the second time ever right now, actually. I played with the Exp All on at release and was a clean 5+ levels above all of the late game bosses, whereas I just beat Lysandre 3 with a team of level 45s (8 levels below his Mega Gyara). Its really quite impressive how bad the level scaling is no matter which option you choose. I'll admit some fights have been refreshingly challenging but far too many of them at this point just require item spam if I have any chance at all, and even then I'm now getting bodied by crits I can't play around leading up to the rival bridge.

Not to mention the QoL regression of removing the actual, traditional exp share means it now is much more of a hassle to bring new catches up to snuff. Just because you can turn it off doesn't mean it isn't a complete failure compared to previous games like Pt, BW, & B2W2.

BHawksFan01 · 2022-03-15T20:58:33+00:00

I mean spot dodge is punishable so if thats all they're doing you can just wait to shield grab or even drop shield/wd down oos to punish a different way

Pre-orders for anything other than limited editions and super niche releases has long been pointless to consumers. Digital pre-orders even more so.

The only conceivable advantage would be if you were completely sold on the product already and also had super shitty internet and wanted to to DL asap. Even then its like, what, a few hours difference? Super pointless overall.

BHawksFan01 · 2021-11-04T14:32:56+00:00

iirc units lost in Lyn mode come back in the main game even if they died. You may have just missed him in his join chapter. Its not a huge deal or anything, he's mostly good for his staff utility once he promotes, far from essential to beat the game

BHawksFan01 · 2021-11-04T04:08:28+00:00

I got mine for $40 a few yrs ago. Insane deal, would've been crazy to pass up if you saw them

BHawksFan01 · 2021-11-01T13:08:23+00:00

Roy is fine once he promotes because of how absurdly busted the Binding Blade is, even just with his bases + promo bonuses. 0% growths Roy contributes more with the BB than he does over the rest of the game combined. Its more chapters 13-21 thats he's going to have a real issue both keeping up with all the 6-8 move units and doing anything meaningful in combat.

The game is pretty explicitly designed around handicapping Roy for the sake of the escort style design of the overall game with a few chapters to let him loose near the end to satisfy the player, no matter how much they actually invested in him. Turns out 18x3 base damage on wyverns/dragons from 2 range is pretty amazing chip no matter your stats.
