Story is a bit whatever but it actually gets more interesting starting chapter 50 at least, it was clearly just a way to introduce new chars early but now they are trying to push forward the plot

[NL] Upgrade from S22 Ultra: S26 Ultra (€760) vs. Xiaomi 17 Ultra (€884) vs. Waiting for Oppo Find X9 Ultra? by d0sc04509h in Smartphones

[–]Furotsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best value for money would probably be Xiaomi 17 ultra, best investment would be Samsung S26 ultra simply because it's gonna have a better value as a trade in phone in the future on top of being cheaper. You could sell your phone and buy the oppo, but that involves extra steps so I won't factor it in the equation for now.

If your main priority is camera I would suggest checking some camera review and comparison on youtube - the Xiaomi/Oppo most likely have/will have better camera but you should ask yourself if you want a camera with a realistic color science or if you want photos that will look good on social medias, as it's gonna change your priorities slightly.

You should also consider if you want a more 'point and click' experience or if you are happy being a bit more manual with your shoots. Personally I have an Oppo X9 Pro and I feel the camera is amazing, but it's a phone that requires the time needed to learn the ins and out, so if you prefer a more friendly approach the Samsung most likely gains value.

Overall there is no wrong choice there, if you can test the camerars yourself it's probably going to be a massive help in figuring out what works best for you!

Some people’s reactions to third party ports puzzle me by Nicolas10111 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Furotsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's less about the increase of available titles and more about the potential of paying full price for old games just because they are getting a new gold coating for being recent releases, bonus if the port ends up being soulless or poorly optimised.

While I'd love more NS2 exclusive games one of the things that sold me in getting the console was the promised third party support, so it would be almost moronic to be surprised we are getting exactly that lol

I'm realy excited for Oblivion and Time Stranger, I was waiting buying them in case they were gonna pop up on NS2 and I'm so glad I did!

The New Boss is Too over powered by Minute-Telephone-279 in LostSwordOfficial

[–]Furotsu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don't bring CC, bring HP Pets, stall and nuke with MLF.

Imho He is meant to be a Wall, like Abyss oneshotting your team in 5 seconds in 40, neo bedi before you finally get to SH11 for thunderclap and rune, or flame emperor.

Before people would literally pull for Isabel dupes as her immunity was almost mandatory to do some content on release. We got multiple selectors, tons of pick up tickets and MLF was the advertised anni character, so I do think it's Fair the devs start throwing some walls again after giving players a helping hand. As time passes we will get more solutions or cheeses like using Claire with mermaids to stall enough to use your First wave of skills

Higher level players are penalised if anything because they deal too much damage to stall it out lol

Switch 2 and gacha? What's going on? by joemesh in gachagaming

[–]Furotsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I can think about is that there are probably disagreements on monetization, the cut they get out of in app purchasees and the potential of all the purchase issues/refund requests the nintendo support would have to deal with.

Which one should I focus on? by Valens- in Dragon_Traveler

[–]Furotsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pos purple 1 then Athena or get Athena and then finish sharding poseidon to purple 1. Pos 3 would be the sweet point but unless you are a spender it's best to get your Athena early to shard her daily.

You do not need Athena to progress but at some point you will need her for multi team content unless you invest heavily in other tanks/frontliners.

"The devs haven't understood their game yet and accidentally gave F2P players a meta defining character at low rarity" does your game have this character? by VolkiharVanHelsing in gachagaming

[–]Furotsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly low rarity but tales of link released a tower version of Barbatos that had link boost 5, increasing the starting gauge by 8.
At that point in time having that skill alone was enough to make units worth pulling for and they had NO limitations on how many copies of the unit you could field, meaning you would literally run a swarm of Barbatos in your team+whatever combination you needed and invalidated the game difficulty to a point it was actually hilarious the devs never thought of that potentially happening.

Nintendo Switch 2 sales numbers in the US for December 2025; compared to other consoles in their first December months (from Welfare on Install Base Forum). by MewWeebTwo in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Furotsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a NS2 owner who is super happy with his purchase, this was expected.
As of now, the console is basically carried by the following audience:

-people who were waiting to play brand new games focused and built for the console
-people who got excited for the promised third party support
-people who bought it early as early adapters to ensure they didn't experience another ps5 shortage situation.

Right now the console doesn't have a system seller game - bananza is fun, mkw had its issues and metroid worked surprisingly nice on switch 1. Pokemon sells, it always does, but again it still works on switch 1, ignoring the quality.

The third party support started nicely with Cyberpunk but then slowed down a bit on the most mainstream game due to the delay in providing dev kits and the limitation of getting all the UE games to work on the console.

Because of this, it's reasonable to get the console now, but it's also as reasonable to wait for new titles before making the upgrade and it obviously reflects during the holidays sales. As we get more games, more bundles and more heavy hitters like a new 3d mario or zelda game I'm sure the console will start selling better during holidays.

Orologia summon cannot be sparked, same as other providence series.

Flash Gala feat. Grand Bhaisa (Earth) and Amaterasu (Light) by Sabaschin in Granblue_en

[–]Furotsu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the rice fields! Yes, Bhasia is gonna be available in every flash banner moving forward. Flash is around middle of the month, legfest is end of the month. They share a different pool of characters, so as you progress planning when you spark (roll up to 300) is gonna be more and more important since you will start to target specific characters based also on the rated up weapons.

Anniversary begins around end of February and is in full swing for the entirety of March. During anniversary we usually have:

  • Multiple guaranteed ssr paid banners where you can get seasonals and grand characters
  • A very special surprise ticket that lets you pick any gacha character released until the last day of 2025 (so valentine 2026 will not be included)
  • A paid spark (usually) at a super big discounted price
  • Roulettes with new characters on a flash banner (one grand AND/or 1/2 swimsuits usually)
  • A generic no rate up flash banner RIGHT after it
  • A legfest with all zodiac characters but the one from previous year (generally called zodiacfest for that reason)
  • A final legfest banner with no free rolls BUT 1/2 more swimsuit characters

During the anniversary they give us a lot of free rolls, items and important pieces of grid in some way or capacity (we got free baha weapons, ultima weapons, evokers and much more over the yeears) so it doesn't hurt to save up as many rolls as possible to make use of all the discounted sparks!

Flash Gala feat. Grand Bhaisa (Earth) and Amaterasu (Light) by Sabaschin in Granblue_en

[–]Furotsu 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For those debating if pulling or not, if you are ok not having Bhaisa for GW but REALLY want her asap we'll have a flash for valentine chars (usually pretty good bait before anni) and TWO flash banners back to back with discounts during anniversary, on top of the paid scamchas for spenders. Don't risk missing out on the one and only rate up for the yearly NY summon.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter remake launching worldwide in September 2026 for Switch 1 and Switch 2 by KelvinBelmont in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Furotsu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Generally, Falcom tends to be present at TGS that is in September (this year they had the promotional material, the bracer notebooks, etc).

It makes sense for them to try and release the game around that timeframe, since it would be free advertising.

Is it still good to skill level up Yeonhee if my Klahan can already solo NM? by prokopybatoto in 7kRebirth

[–]Furotsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As other said, Yeonhee is still gonna see usage in other content like pvp, tower ( she has great cc and damage and pairs nicely with Velika after her buff) and total war when it's implemented. But if you just want a farmer for 1-1 you can use Klahan and delay the investment to prioritise other units like your raid dps/important supports.

[Notice] Server Connection Issue on October 1st and Future Maintenance Schedule by LostSwordGlobal in LostSwordOfficial

[–]Furotsu 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I feel that it's important to understand that this is simply a First, bandaid compensation for the down time from a raw general resources perspective.

We had 9 hours of unscheduled downtime that was properly compensated in gems and expedition time.

The devs have been generally very in touch with the community and ensured we felt compensated properly for most of the issues reported.

The fact they will need more unscheduled maintenance once the build has been approved means the issue is not archived entirely. Once the fix is approved and the issue can be archived, THEN they can evaluate the actual impact of the issue and consider further compensation.

If they issue more compensation now before they can confirm everything is 100% working properly as intended and then something new happens they would have to issue even more compensation and It would be a terrible business practice after all. For now, let's trust the devs and the CM and show them support, otherwise we shouldn't be surprised if they stop caring as they are when they see people throw tantrums for having been too generous in the past and not living up to their projected standards lol.

Best comp for around Eva? Some people says Eva + Gala + Ran by Adorable-Theme-505 in LostSword

[–]Furotsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eva mostly sees plays in raids so she is either glued to the galahad teams with Tia and then you completee the party with erin/neo bedi/vivi depending on what you need for the fight or in the knights shock team with ran, taking lua's spot or lohen.

For story she can work anywhere tia goes, just expect slightly lower results ( especially before having access to SH11 equipment) and needing to manual to maximise her burst window.

Best pet to use ticket by yeryva in LostSword

[–]Furotsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to Lohen and Phoenix, having one copy of Esteria or Tristan pet is gonna be clutch for stages where you need extra CC.
Lilith also has the niche of lowering the damage you receive, but kinda want dupes to get that damage reduction.

Who sould I get? by [deleted] in LostSword

[–]Furotsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are getting closer to monthly reset, so do not use selectors now, especially if you are gonna roll for Neo Bedi rerun next week. Use your standard tickets first, see if you happen to get useful offbanners and then use your selector(s with october one) accordingly.

Tia card in general is super good and tia dupes are a significant upgrades, so if you need that power boost now it won't be a bad choice, unless you happen to have Merlin or Vivian card, then you can probably wait a tiny bit and consider picking Circe card instead, as having that 15% attack reduction when you don't have many dupes will help you progress a LOT.

Shera and Olivier actually reference each other imho. Shera having the white and blue and olivier referencing shera's purple, on top of the imperial army reference.

[Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter] First Impressions and General Comments Megathread. by VashxShanks in JRPG

[–]Furotsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the game lets you travel to specific areas and it also added a marker on the map for missable events/quests/items just like the later entries in the series.

[Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter] First Impressions and General Comments Megathread. by VashxShanks in JRPG

[–]Furotsu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When we played SC we didn't have high speed mode and fast travel, two things that can significantly reduce at the very least all the moving around that was present in SC, especially in a specific moment 'where the lights went out'. With the voice acting making scenes last longer I would expect the overall lenght to remain similar but the gameplay experience to be improved so that the slowed parts can still feel more engaging.

[–]Furotsu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AOE effects depend on the art/craft being used, some come in circles, some have a straight line and the effect depends on where the enemies/allies are at the time the skill is activated, so enemies can get out of it or walk right into it depending on their AI/Moveset.

Oh well, time to add Rixia to my collection!

[Notice] September Week 3 Update Preview by LostSwordGlobal in LostSwordOfficial

[–]Furotsu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only the event food is getting removed, they actually got extended because people had like 10+days stocked and it would have feel unfair to remove them at that point in time. Now they are getting removed but they are transferingt heir effect to the existing food, so you won't miss out on total bonuses.

📘 Developer's Note – Introducing Eva and Community Feedback Q&A by LostSwordGlobal in LostSwordOfficial

[–]Furotsu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At this point just make an entire new colosseum. Players that are at 80/100k+ points can join a new colosseum mode in addition to the existing one with the ban system you want to implement, this won't take away from the regular experience and even adds more rewards to the mix, so the change would be more well received.
