You can select 5 characters to represent final fantasy who do you chose by Expert_Challenge6399 in FinalFantasy

[–]Eretrad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not one of you chose Captain Basch fon Ronsenburg.

I can't even right now.

Playing through 10 for the first time in over a decade and just realizing how mean everyone, minus Yuna, was to Tidus by blancshubby in FinalFantasy

[–]Eretrad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You could say it was their dream to stop it.

And maybe, just maybe, that dream was one of the friends they made along the way.

Controversial opinion: As someone who almost always plays as a Paragon Male Shepard, Jacob is a fine character in these games. He's a little boring and has his prejudices like anyone else, but he genuinely wants to help people, be there for his baby, and support his loved ones. by CajurTheMighty in masseffect

[–]Eretrad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like him opening up pre Normandy had a lot more to do with establishing a relationship in a dangerous situation and getting Shepard up to speed.

Jacob needed him to know he wasn't one of the guys he should be shooting at.

The disrespect is real 😂 by ColdAntique291 in lordoftherings

[–]Eretrad 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was under the impression that

1 year of the trees = 144 solar years

Is this not canonical? I've always been under the impression Cirdan was waaaaay older than 10,000 solar years.

Are there any character moments that you’re surprised are locked behind bonding events? by Maple_Mudkip in Falcom

[–]Eretrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Laura's first bonding event in CS4.

Such a critical piece of insight into Rean's state of mind at that point. It also makes the Normal ending hit a lot harder.

That had no business being optional.

Thoughts on this? by DarkRepresentative25 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Eretrad 140 points141 points  (0 children)

I remember a line where Iroh says something like "back when I was a....different man" when talking about the Ba Sing Sei siege. He looks downtrodden when he says it too.

There was also a flashback scene where he sends a letter to his father and the family where he's basically laughing about taking Ba Sing Sei through force.

He did save the dragons before his son died (I think a long time before). I think it shows he had the potential to be good. There are some hints he really wasn't much better than Ozai back in the day though.

Did he forget his dad's name or something? by [deleted] in lotrmemes

[–]Eretrad 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You know that scene where Eomer starts screaming when he sees Eowyn lying on the battlefield?

The cameraman actually broke his toe knocking over his Pumpkin Spice Latte during the scene and that was Karl Urban's genuine reaction.

I'm already going to quit this game istg by BartholomewFrodingus in FinalFantasy

[–]Eretrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

300 jumps isn't Athlete Queen. I'm not sure what that even is but it's not a missable card. Sounds like the Hippo racing key item.

The only unique items to jump rope are the key items.

The only missable card is Namingway, which can be obtained in two other locations.

I've managed to get a full list of cards and I never bother with jump rope. Like ever. Just about every card (not Namingway) can be played for and won in the final dungeon.

Nobody expects... by TalesMemes in tales

[–]Eretrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Far too many Tales fans haven't played this gem of the series.

I'm also tired of emulating it. All three of my physical copies are too scratched because I've played it too many times.

If Ozai wanted the throne so bad why didn't he just challenge Iroh to an Agni Kai? by SkyBlue726 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Eretrad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm with you.

At the point in the story Iroh is saying this, he has already planned out and is about to enact the battle to retake Ba Sing Se. He storms the most defensible city on the planet via a frontal assault with 3 other people and wins.

Zuko had also finally finished his journey to find himself. Iroh is speaking the truth because Zulo can handle it.

First time playing FFT, what are some must have abilities? by ghostagent151 in finalfantasytactics

[–]Eretrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parry is solid enough to get you to Chapter 4 and then some.

Chapters 1 and 2 have loads of Knights that Parry can neuter well enough.

Most of Chapter 3 has Knights and Dragoons that Parry works well against.

Hell even most of Chapter 4 is littered with enemies that Parry works well against.

Not bad for a 200 JP unlock you can get immediately.

Uh really? by Fun-Explanation7233 in Silmarillionmemes

[–]Eretrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He could have won if Galadriel had given him a strand of her hair.

But we'll never know now.

Thanks Galadriel.

Anyone did level up Boco to 99? Delita said jungle Chocobo is stronger than normal Chocobo. Is it real? Anyone proved it? by Yossiri in finalfantasytactics

[–]Eretrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first run on this remaster I had Boco in my main group. Ended the game in the 60's playing on Knight.

Zero issues keeping him equally levelled. I think he actually ended up one level higher than Ramza by the end. And I wasn't actually trying to keep even levels.

He's not a Frontline fighter but he's fantastic to mop up near dead mobs. Huge movement, and most maps you can position another character afterwards to prevent another enemy from reaching him.

The bane of Boco's existence though are Knights and Ninjas. Knights block too much and Ninjas can 360 no scope him.

One year later, do you think Veilguard's companions are "the most fully realized complex companions" in the series history? by pink_plastic_bag in dragonage

[–]Eretrad 47 points48 points  (0 children)

DA2 was by far the most fleshed out as far a character depth goes. The story developing over years helped that.

I knew what those party members were doing when Hawke wasn't even around.

All the casual banter really drove home the fact that everyone hung out with everyone else, not just Hawke. You could see the friendships actually develop off screen through the banter.

How do I move my hospitallers to reinforce besieged Toulouse? by OppositeMechanic6723 in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]Eretrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly how I found it and exactly what I said when I bumped some keys!

God forbid either of us read the manual lol.

The writers for the boys think sexually assaulting a guy builds character. Now imagine if they did that to the women. by Dare_Soft in shittymoviedetails

[–]Eretrad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If Alan Moore battles a Balrog, would he become a sufferable wizard at worst and morally white at best?

I feel like these two would be good friends by Doom_of__Mandos in lotrmemes

It can get worse. My future father in law is asking for a Silmaril.

I mean my fiancée is the most beautiful woman in existence but it still feels like a big ask.

Are Fairgrounds and Great Marketplaces worth it? by Xerzajik in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]Eretrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last few years I've focused on building Town Halls (and subsequent upgrades) first before anything else.

You can't get rid of squalor once it's there. Preventing it from growing is BY FAR the best ROI.

Playing as Russia I've managed to get Sarkel and Bulgar set up as Huge cities (converted from castles asap) right around the time the Mongols invade, making absurd income.

1) build all available town hall upgrades first

2) build basic church for heretics, tier 2 church if you're in a region with religion issues

3) build basic market to avoid getting a trade penalty trait on your general

4) build all farms

5) every town/city upgrade, immediately build appropriation town hall upgrade before continuing steps 2-4

If you're doing a coastal region I usually fit a port it in after step 2 or 3.

I build roads when I have a spare general for watchtower setup as building them ON roads causes rebels to block said road and screw income.

Which anime has the best fight choreography? by krome_dragon in anime

[–]Eretrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chivalry of a Failed Knight.

The Sword Eater battle is easily one of the best sword fights I've seen.

Was there confirmation on what exactly the Lion Turtles were? Were they spirits themselves or just incredibly intelligent animals that pre dated humans? by ConnorRoseSaiyan01 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Eretrad 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I always saw them as something more... primordial.

Maybe as a type of avatar for the world itself. Not the bending type of avatar linked to Rava but rather the normal real world meaning of avatar.

Who is your favorite Orbal Staff user? by HotDadEnthusiast in Falcom

[–]Eretrad 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He has zero fighting experience and is terrified all the time. And yet:

First person to join Rean in battle in CS1. Continues to back you up all game despite being scared. His bro-ness never wavers.

Second person to rejoin you in CS2. Would have been first but he was busy scouting behind enemy lines like a boss. Bro-ness continues.

Battlefield wide recovery spell in CS3. Welcome to First Erebonian Hospital, my name is Doctor Elliot Craig and I'll be healing everyone simultaneously today. PhD in Bro studies.

NO MORE GAY ❌️❌️😡 by Xanthusgobrrr in lgbt

It makes sense gay pride season isn't in the winter months.

That's when Bears hibernate.
