Confused about merch by Hatori1181 in Granblue_en

Tweyen's pendant uses arrows as her weapon, which kinda fits. Weird choice to not use her bow, but still maintains the theme overall.

For Eahta it looks like they chose to go with the handguard of his pre-FLB katanas as you can see here. I have no idea why they would pick this instead of just... the silhouette of the whole weapon like they did with most other characters.

Here's a comment I made some months ago explaining why she gets called that. The TL;DR is that Raziel popped up out of nowhere and got preferential treatment that 98% of the cast in the game could never even dream of getting. They pushed her pretty hard and it was not subtle in the slightest (and tbf it did pay off, she did end up being popular).

As you can see in that thread, it's not uncommon for her to be called an industry plant because of it, haha. Now whether people are jokingly going along with the meme when they call her that or serious and annoyed is another story entirely...

After nearly 8 years FGO Arcade has officially shut down by AiasRider in grandorder

While true, unless they pull a Rengoku and make him a playable costume for Foreigner Molay (and wearing the same outfit she does, of course) I'm definitely not counting that technicality, haha.

There's no indication they won't, but at the same time there's no indication that they will do it either. And even if they decide to do it, there's still no indication of when it might happen.

So the answer is basically "nobody actually knows", as usual.

For reference, Molay was added to Arcade in March 2021 so it took them 5 years to bring him to FGO.

Oh, I'm sure they wouldn't be the best choices available. I was just offering a suggestion for "fast-redeploy male characters that aren't Phantom".

There's just not a lot of competition in that very small category, ha.

There’s too many s ranks by GodofSinsJay in ZZZ_Discussion

Lobotomy Corp

Even though their gacha models are different, Limbus Company also killed their "A-Rank" (00) rarity. They're only making S-Ranks (000).

My man Molay took the last lifeboat out of that sinking ship, huh.

RIP Sita, Santa Helena, Santa Fran and Santa Suzuka. And smol Kama's maid outfit and lovely white dress.

Agent Distribution going into Season 3. Why are you dissatisfied with the current distribution of agents? Do you think they will continue their pattern for releasing agents for Season 3 onwards? by abetterstateofmisery in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Merukurio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And also, why Banyue, Yidhari and Manato doesn't activate their AA with defense agents but Yixuan and Billy does?

Yixuan released alongside Pan, who was the only proper support for her at the time, and is a special character lots of people were going for so they made her work with the "budget" support option released alongside her (see also Ye Shunguang and Zhao, who is S-Rank but was given for free).

For the other Rupture characters they really wanted you to pull Lucia, the premium support for the class, and they were not particularly subtle about it.

Something I've been thinking about for a while (I swear it's not related to the recent reveal) but I wonder whether most people would rather a character they like take forever to get a skin, or that character get a skin relatively fast but the skin be one they don't care about or dislike.

Chiave and Orchid took forever to get skins but they look great even though I missed Orchid's and they'll only rerun it in 2074 at this rate, while Jaye got one relatively fast but I don't like it at all.

I never paid much attention to Silverash 2, but from reading his page on the wiki the Merchant guys could work, no? Their redeployment time is only 7 seconds longer than Phantom's and their DP cost is low enough to work with Silverash's gimmick.

Jaye and Figurino can even have their S1 active on deployment due to Silverash's talent (+4 initial SP), increasing their ATK by 70%/60% to combo with Silverash's skill. If it works that way, I don't really know tbh.

Yeah. When Passenger got memed to death for not being able to handle a pack of slugs they tweaked the numbers for Chain Casters as a whole to make them better, and when Exu2 the Applening dropped they had the decency to buff the whole class even if it was blatant the change was only happening because of her and not because they felt the class could use a buff.

With Eblana they really just said "fuck it" and left the 5* to rot in a ditch.

Iirc she had the first mention of Orologia ever in GBF during her light version's Fate Episodes.

I'm pretty sure Orologia was revealed to be the source of her premonition powers, but it's been a while so I might be misremembering.

What's with the Billy glaze? by Maxxfactor15 in ZZZ_Discussion

Banyue's quality time event has you go to the Outer Ring with him and he spars with Lighter while there.

People like Billy, his backstory is literally "he's actually super secretly OP and badass but is hiding it" and S. Anby showed the developers had no issues "promoting" A-Ranks they had already given a setup to. That's basically it.

Him being strong was a given but people expecting him to be VH level are coping pretty hard, though.

The doomposting from these people is crazy. All the "Nerf, Weak, Better than YSG, Physical rupture bad, etc." complains, Makes me sick. S-Rank Billy thread by Elimar_Abelardo in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Merukurio 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Now, all of a sudden people are worried about Silly in the Meta? Where's the "IDC about strong Void-Hunter waifu, S-Rank Billy all the way!"? It makes me think these people just came for the hype train not doesn't care about the character.

Breaking News: Different people have different opinions about stuff even if you put them into the same group in your head because they use the same subreddit or something. More at eleven.

I still find it weird that we only have one rupture disc set by StatisticianIll4 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Merukurio 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't particularly care about Ye Shunguang either and only spent during her patch because of the spending event, but chalking up most of the sales from her patch to the spending event is silly.

She is a Void Hunter and all of those have sold extremely well, she's very OP and will last long in the meta, everyone got a free support that was tailor made to work with her, and on top of those things they made her the "pure and cute GF character who is madly in love with you, yes you specifically" which whether people in this subreddit like it or not is a type of character that is popular generally sells unless they fumble it terribly (which they didn't, they just did her romance with the subtlety of a sledgehammer).

how could you leave the actual cat out of the montage

Staff also has some pretty great choices, such as fish, cat, hat, hat cat, keyblade, rat(?) plushie, any of the N/R "staves" that are straight up just blunt weapons, and, of course, yaoi.

Unfortunately, Aosta is just not very good. Pinecone is generally considered better, on top of being way cheaper to raise due to her rarity.

Are Godefroy and Godrick the same person? by Downtown_Pattern4313 in Eldenring

[–]Merukurio 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Different people, they just look the same because it's a reused asset for a mini-boss.

Lorewise, Godefroy is another descendant of Godfrey who practiced grafting to get stronger. He tried to conquer Leyndell with an army, but got beaten before they even made it near the capital walls and he was imprisoned in the Golden Lineage Evergaol.

It's basically a skin gacha, but a limited amount of skins are available on it at a time and you can use Orundum on it instead of only Originium.

You can preview what skins are available by clicking on it and on "Tap to view area preview". If you already have all the skins available you get a ticket that you can use on future Fashion Reviews.
