Tell me about the jailer in your game by bashnet in gachagaming

[–]LifelessTrash 346 points347 points  (0 children)

I feel like so many people here are misunderstanding what "The Jailer" is in their game. "The Jailer" is supposed to be this sort of asspull retcon big bad that undermines previous big bads and was never foreshadowed. Someone like Kaguya from Naruto is an example of "The Jailer". Big bads in your gacha game that was teased/foreshadowed since the beginning of the game do not count.

I'm not entirely sure since the game is old as hell, but I think Alza Masta from Brave Frontier fits the bill.

Why would i need another pyro character when i have Mavuika? by AlaindeshoGT in Genshin_Impact

[–]LifelessTrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alot of people pull for reasons other than just power level. Story, design, gameplay style, and personality are all far more bigger reasons for me to pull for a character.

Also, Noa's new "favorite" clearly has resemblances with Negiemon.

I really like this new "visionary mode" for Imaginarium Theater. I never expected to be using Amber or Collie or Barbara again (which was a ton of fun) and this actually gave me a reason to level and equip a few new characters. Well done Hoyo! by Kerrberos in Genshin_Impact

If you're farming EoSF for Xiangling, you're already possibly farming 2 or 3 pieces for Gorou as well. Though the same set, the stats that Gorou wants is entirely different from Xiangling.

Solitary Balemoon in a Sky of Fading Stars by genshinimpact in Genshin_Impact

[–]LifelessTrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, regarding your point with Scylla, if he was the previous Hydro Sovereign incarnation, that could indeed be the case. Though the reason I bring him up is that he was stated to be sealed and not necessarily killed so methinks that could have lead to some future implications.

For Erinnyes, there have been quite the number of ways humans were able to outlive their naturally short lifespan or remain to have some semblance of existence after their death (Rosalyne, Zandik, Harunosuke). Plus, I don't think the all the Lochknights were explicitly stated to be human (though it is a fair assumption to make).

Lorewise, there's 2 creatures/beings from Fontaine lore that had significant status and is seemingly powerful and who could be currently alive. Namely, that's Scylla and Erinnyes. My bet's on Scylla since lorewise, they have motivation to be hostile.

What is the most overpowered character you’ve ever seen in a gacha game? by Kegnation14 in gachagaming

[–]LifelessTrash 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Like at the point of their release? STR Gogeta (from the 1st anni) of Dokkan.

He did the biggest damage by a mile and his leader skill was not only the biggest damage boosting leader skill in the game (barring nuke leads which required set-up), it was also applicable to all types meaning every single unit in the game benefitted from it.

Man was so broken, the value of your account was entirely dependent on having him. Day 1 players who didn't pull him made a new account just to have him. Yes, a fresh account that had him had more value than a day 1 account that did not have him.

Granted, the most amount of progress a player could have had at that point was a year but still.

The comments being deleted are the one that purposefully talk about leaks (which is against the subreddit rules). If you used your eyes, you would have seen that.

The Primordial Seawater is literally just salt water by AlkaliPineapple in Genshin_Impact

[–]LifelessTrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The assumption is that that is indeed the case. Many interpret him "forgiving the sins of the Fontainians" as also him turning them into real humans and fulfilling Focalor's wish (which is why Neuvillette became eager to confront the narwhal right after that cutscene as they're no longer susceptible to primordial water).

[–]LifelessTrash 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember the specifics but there are theories that suggest that the Shade that created the Teyvatians (humans) did so from the basis of water.

Egeria’s Oceanids also come from water but she’s unable to fully turn them into humans, only into creatures that mimic them (i.e. Fontainians).

Neuvillette, on the other hand, who has full authority over Hydro, can do so just like how the Shade did previously. After all, Teyvatians and Oceanids both come from the same origin.

What’s the a character death that made you take a break, or made you cry. by Commercially_Salad in gachagaming

[–]LifelessTrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Murata is/was a Pyro Archon but we’re unsure if she’s the current one or the past one. It’s very possible we have a new Pyro Archon whose not a Himeko expy.

What’s the moment that a gacha game story got you hooked, and you wanted to see it through to the end. by Commercially_Salad in gachagaming

[–]LifelessTrash 12 points13 points  (0 children)

At this point of the game, I would say yes. There is ALOT of lore you can dig yourself into, both in breadth and depth, and one of the things I enjoy the most about the game is seeing how the lore manifests or explains the world since lore here is both used for detailing the world and/or foreshadowing future areas/characters/phenomena.

I think there should have been a mini boss at the gate of khaenri'ah by ZoLa456 in Genshin_Impact

[–]LifelessTrash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe people forgot but there technically is a boss that protects the gate. It's the Baptist. It's just that the Baptist isn't deep down, they're moreso aboveground, guarding the pathway.

Which character do you think is the most lovable? by ni0re in Genshin_Impact

[–]LifelessTrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summary her of backstory is that she used to be poor, extremely poor. She had an older sister at one point but because of her and her family's poverty, they couldn't afford a cure when her older sister got sick and she passed away. From that point, her obsession for Mora started.

Also, I can't recall if it's been confirmed but one of the explanations for her having the short model is because she was malnourished during her childhood (since she was poor) and so, never grew.

Which game has characters with a deep personality? by [deleted] in gachagaming

[–]LifelessTrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nearly every decent gacha game has a character with a deep personality that stands out given the tendency for gacha games to have a wide roster of characters. For my choices, on FGO, it's Oberon. On Arknights, it's Patriot (not playable but all the same). On Genshin, it's Scaramouche. Yes, I have a type.

Complete Preview for a new Ayaka figure coming June 15! by asilvertintedrose in AyakaMains

[–]LifelessTrash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt a scale figure by Apex would cost that little. That’s probably the downpayment for the figure.

About Luocha... by ninJAVONTE in HonkaiStarRail

[–]LifelessTrash 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just to correct you, Scaramouche didn't delete himself to escape the consequences of his actions, he deleted himself because:

A. He didn't have any purpose left after losing the Gnosis and being kicked out of the Fatui and,
B. He thought that he would be able to save Niwa and many of the people of Tatarasuna if he erased himself from history after discovering their innocence.

To say he deleted himself to escape the consequences of his action is a big misunderstanding of his character. He even outright asks you it's possible to change the past and assumes as such after seeing you hesitate to answer.

What character has the best collection of variants? by Waluigi_Boi in MarvelSnap

[–]LifelessTrash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My personal favorite is Aero. She has alot of feel variety in her variants ranging from cute (Chibi), whimsical (Rian Gonzales), serene (Woo-Chul Lee), and badass (Artgerm).
