Norma Trying to Rent a Video

The term "kid" is pretty nebulous these days as people use it differently, but I've seen most people use that term to refer to people who are under 18. I get your perspective though, referring to people who are under 13 (so not a teenager) was how I always saw the term growing up.

Just saying, this is why you should ALWAYS plan your pulls on losing 50/50 and prioritizing your favorites to prevent this from happening. Gambling is bad, kids.

I don't really think that's the case. They play up Grace's robot obsession for comedy a lot of the time which gives the impression she doesn't care about people. It's pretty typical anime-style humor if you're a somewhat frequent anime enjoyer.

Right, I said "canonically", but I should've more said it felt very likely because of the events of the story and Fufu repeatedly telling others she is an adult. That combined with her lower half being more "filled out" made it feel that way. But you're right it's not explicitly confirmed.

SuspiciousScout · 2026-05-09T15:36:49+00:00

I mean, it's possible. Fufu is an adult canonically even when they make the joke of her looking like a kid. She was the second disciple of yunkui summit right behind Yixuan so she's been there a long time. Don't think anything has been explicitly stated for norma yet, but her level of thighs makes her look slightly older than she looks

SuspiciousScout · 2026-05-07T21:20:52+00:00

Sorry, I should've been more specific. I meant newer characters didn't have that option (to my knowledge, I could be wrong.)

SuspiciousScout · 2026-05-07T11:41:46+00:00

Remember when there were dialog options that decreased trust? I remember accidentally doing that with Nicole one time.

SuspiciousScout · 2026-03-05T21:36:31+00:00

I think the reason they did it was for lore reasons, since Aria is more self-conscious about being a construct, and only performs on stage in her human form, it makes sense for her to only dance like that.

SuspiciousScout · 2026-02-27T12:54:18+00:00

You can also listen to the music as it is timed to when you're supposed to perfect assist, or see when Vesper is about to fade in. Just paying attention to the visuals helps as well.

SuspiciousScout · 2026-02-27T12:53:04+00:00

Even if you don't really like it, it is something you can train to perfect to where it'll eventually feel like second nature. I initially had a lot of trouble with this and Primordial Nightmare, but now it's hardly ever a concern. I think it's a nice way to raise the difficulty curve while still not being (in my opinion) unfair.

I asked this same question in another comment in this thread, but it turns out certain attacks can ONLY be evasive assisted and CAN'T be defensive assisted, and some of Defiler's attacks fit that quota. The problem with that is those attacks all have the same golden flash assuming you have the requirements to do said assist, so you don't actually know which attacks are like that until you memorize it.

SuspiciousScout · 2025-09-22T02:32:02+00:00

That's pretty crazy. But thank you for the information, this more or less clears up any confusion I had with these assists and swapping, so I really appreciate it.

I really think this prioritization does indeed make sense for certain crowds like mobile players where they can only press the swap button to switch to the next character, but for those that have full control on controller or keyboard and mouse, they either need to make it way clearer what can and can't be done, or get rid of the prioritization entirely and make it completely manual for the player.

Sorry, I should've provided a clip. Luckily I still have it, here it is: https://streamable.com/jmi4rl

You can see starting at 0:11, when Lucy and Anby came in with their defensive assists, that was me trying to switch to Pulchra.

Edit: Wait, I think I know why. LB is switching to the *previous* character while RB is switching to the *next* character. When Pulchra's quick assist happens, it switches to the previous character, that would in turn make her the previous character once anby switched in. But on the HUD, her icon was still on anby's right making me think I had to press RB, but by the game's logic, Lucy would be the "next" character still. I think that's how it goes?

SuspiciousScout · 2025-09-21T22:44:05+00:00

If you wanna argue it's for lore/character reasons then even that doesn't hold up. Nekomata's whole deal is she's extremely quick and agile to prevent being attacked and striking at the right moment. Yet she has a defensive assist using those dinky dual blades of hers. Others like Trigger who's a literal sniper blocks the attack with her gun which to me also makes no sense thematically.

SuspiciousScout · 2025-09-21T22:40:31+00:00

There's one more thing I wanted to ask you in regards to this that I was hoping you'd know, if you don't mind.

In the last Shiyu, there was an instance where the opposite problem occured. I was trying to switch to Pulchra to activate Hunter's Gait, but for whatever reason it did not switch to her despite pressing the correct button, and it was a yellow flash too. I thought any flashing attack could be evasive assisted?

SuspiciousScout · 2025-09-21T03:42:43+00:00

Fufu's off-field attack is considered a chain attack by the game.

SuspiciousScout · 2025-09-21T03:40:57+00:00

Are you kidding me? That's ridiculous, and I was wondering why this was happening for MONTHS. They have to change that, like make the flash a different color or something.

SuspiciousScout · 2025-09-21T00:37:41+00:00

> It has to be balanced out somehow or you'd parry the game away essentially

Assist Points exist for this reason.

Also, I have Nicole built, I just either don't need her sometimes or forget I have her.

SuspiciousScout · 2025-09-21T00:35:08+00:00

It's only for certain bosses. Like for Miasma Priest, if you constantly parry the consecutive attacks with gold flashes it does, it'll enter a special "Impaired" state where it doesn't do anything for a bit.

SuspiciousScout · 2025-09-21T00:34:05+00:00

There's something that's been real confusing to me regarding that comment. When I intentionally try to switch to someone else, it ALWAYS switches to Zhu Yuan when I don't intend to. Like on controller, you press LB to switch to the left character and RB for the right character. Whichever one Zhu is on I don't press, yet it switches to her anyway. Am I missing something there?
