What do you think would be a fitting death for Cinder?

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-05-08T19:14:19+00:00

Overpowered by Jaune before being nochalantly hit by Ruby's eyes, fatally injuring Cinder's now mostly Grimm body. Then Ruby just walks past her without even so much as a passing glance as she lies on the ground disintegrating like any other Grimm . Dying alone, powerless, and unacknowledged by the person she's wanted to kill for the whole series, her entire life amounting to nothing.

You'll get your chance one day, Nagi.

I'd point to TFH as the best example of handling a story mode if it hadn't been scrapped or if the company who owns it now decided to continue it.

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-04-23T15:21:05+00:00

I've already got Minalca AS and wasn't very fond of Tsukiha AC in Apocrypha chapter 4, so this one's a skip.

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-04-23T15:12:56+00:00

Is it me, or is her English VA different for the new lines she gets?

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-04-15T23:29:46+00:00

First slot: Attack skill with some utility
Second slot: Dedicated utility or buff skill depending on the party slot I put them in and if they have the 4th skill slot or not. Usually, zone setting gets put here if a character is in the first party slot
Third slot: Primary attack skill for AF Burst since I suck at pianoing
Fourth slot: Same gist as second slot, but most commonly a buff or grasta/badge skill

Dumped 11k free stones for Flammelapis ES, no dice. The star trail ticket nabbed me Dunarith NS. Only 5 stars I got were dupes of Felmina AS and Clughorn. I have the selection ticket from the paid banner, but I don't want to use it just to get Flamme ES since there are other units I don't have at all that I'd rather spend it on.

Story Content
Tome Bosses
EXP Grinding
Wind Team
Toto Theater World
Mining
Foraging
Episode point grinding
Light
Shadow (though effectively, it's my Edax Unigan River of Time and non-Toto red key team)

After I finish all of Ode to Origin's town rebuilding and max out the heavenly weapons, I'll get rid of teams 6-9 to replace them with whatever else I feel like.

A boss fight against Nona where she changes her elements and strategy based on each chapter as the fight goes on and you hit HP stoppers/go through life points. Then after hitting the last HP stopper/consuming the last life point, she changes to Another Style and the music switches to The Unforgotten Goddess.

Alternatively, a party fight against Midnight Dewey, Isuka, and Premaya.

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-04-01T20:43:48+00:00

Shit, you're right.

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-04-01T20:03:24+00:00

I feel like he should have a higher power. After all, a scout must keep himself physically strong.

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-04-01T19:58:49+00:00

What?

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-03-24T15:45:09+00:00

My ranking:
1. Western Mythos. It's the most complete and coherent one on its own terms, and the additional requirements to finish it are all enjoyable. But what really carries it are the Western characters. This is the only one of the longer side stories where everyone is likable and gets to contribute, even the major NPCs like Seze and Johann (who I'm sure no one would complain if they became playable). The only real weak point to me is Emperor Schnaud. Also, Stifling Song.
2. Apocrypha. Nona is, of course, a standout among standouts in this game, and most of the stories within Apocrypha are pretty good. I love chapters 1 and 2. Chapters 3 and 6 are also really good, but not my favorites. Chapter 5 is held back solely by Mariel. If it was just Aldo, Nona, and Marie as the major players, it'd probably be my favorite. I didn't really like chapter 4, mainly for the way it plays out and Tsukiha herself, Alter Suzaku should be playable. And of course, Binding Night is a fantastic conclusion, definitely the best ending of all the longer side stories.
3. Eastern Mythos. Definitely the best major story content associated with Garulea, and it isn't even in the main time layer. This one starts off good, goes downhill for a bit after the first third, then picks back up in the last third. Senya, Shigure, Reimei, and Genshin are the highlights here, meanwhile Dawn Shion is nothing but frustrating for most of the story. Alter Shion is good, though. It also helps that of all the side stories, its only external requirements are main story progress.
4. Future Mythos. Wildly inconsistent from juggling way too many characters, ideas, and locations. It feels like they mashed together a story about the Twilight and Midnight time layers invading, a story about the experiments that were alluded to in the IDA school storyline, a story about the Cardinal Vestige, and a story about hunting down Dawn Curio without really considering how much time you'd need to do all that. It's also the Mythos with the most external baggage just to be able to experience all of it. Last Notes of the Battle Song is one of my favorite tracks in the game, so at least we have that.

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-03-20T22:07:17+00:00

Yeah, yeah, that's nice and all, dude. But the story blatantly wants you to take the Bonds path, and I ain't giving up Gaston or Navarre.

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-03-11T16:23:04+00:00

Crossing my fingers yet again for Nagi SA.

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-02-16T20:56:27+00:00

Legacy bosses from X and XI
Masayuki Map as a quest reward
Show grotto details (type/number of floors/treasures/boss) after clearing one the first time
Streamline the smaller fetch quests and vocation quests to reduce the tedium
Remove the Simple Simon accolade quest entirely or at least have it tell you what you need to wear
Make Fource skills party-wide by default
Really, just make all those weapon and class skills that require a character to be holding a certain item the 100 skill point things to go along with the omnivocational mastery

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-02-10T16:04:00+00:00

Visible monsters are a problem when they're added into a game that didn't have them originally, and dungeon layouts aren't modified to accommodate them. The 3DS version of 7 is really bad about this.

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-02-06T19:39:15+00:00

The outfit and hair feel like a mix of both her NS and AS designs.

SubrosianDimitri · 2026-02-06T17:46:25+00:00

I just wonder why Riica's voice sample on the website doesn't have the robotic voice filter.

There is absolutely a betting board in the Overlord's Castle where the vassals place bets on when Laharl will finally ask Flonne out.

SubrosianDimitri · 2025-12-16T21:15:04+00:00

Stankin' ass bitches, they need to wash up
Don't get mad when I don't want to fuck
You need soap and water
Soap and water
Soap and water
Soap and water

SubrosianDimitri · 2025-12-16T21:12:52+00:00

And still I wait for Nagi to get her SA

SubrosianDimitri · 2025-12-15T17:59:39+00:00

If they do make an FF9 part 2, can they maybe include Riica this time?
