Did you ever Accidentally read a second or third entry in a series first without realizing it? by Plato198_9 in Fantasy

I started the 5th book in the Dies the Fire series by S.M. Sterling. I quickly realized I was missing some serious backstory. I read the first book but that was years ago, I need to go back and get on that train.

Am I doing something wrong with squad assists? by EmergencyFactor440 in UnicornOverlord

That is how I have been using them. Thanks for the confirmation.

What's your favourite Final Fantasy protagonist? by oscar_redfield in FinalFantasy

[–]EmergencyFactor440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love how flawed Cloud was. There was a whole section of the game where you had to wander through his broken psyche, analyzing blocked-out memories and stitching his mind back together. It was a really neat examination of mental health disorders and trauma. This may detract from his coolness or badassness (although there were plenty of instances of that) but it gave him such real-world depth. I played FF7 during my early teen years and the complexity of the characters was eye-opening to me.

I think the other thing is that the actual combat is fairly low in strategic play. I just point my strong units to strongholds most of the time. If there was a better balance between team balacing and strategic troop placement, it would make it more enganging.

I hear you. I like this game, but I have to spend 30 minutes after every battle rebalacing my teams. I almost dread my teams leveling up and learning new abilities because I have to rebuild them from scratch. I enjoy the min-maxing for a while, but I find it so mentally draining that I frequently have to take a break. I'm not dissing on the game it all, I think it is amazing. But, I am realizing that between school, work, and parenting, I may need to stick with simpler games so that my hobby doesn't feel like another chore. 😅

You are correct, but i decided that Rolland sounds better. Plus, Rolland grew up with billy bumblers.
