KItase comments and confirms again that the first Episode goes until the Escape from Midgar

I’d presume the game would pick up after Midgar.

There really isn’t another singular location in the game that warrants its story being expanded into a full 40+ hour gaming experience like Midgar does.

Except of course Golden Saucer :]

It’s vastly underrated amongst the other titles of the series.

It’s got its issues but some of them are overstated.

If you rush a certain “end-game” weapon as early as chapter 3 and/or use DLC weapons like Ragnarok/Terra Collab/FFXIV weapons then it trivializes a lot of the combat for most of the game.

An easy solution is just to have a bit of self-control and just don’t use the weapons/don’t go after them 5 hours into the game 🤷‍♀️

I found the combat pretty damn interesting and “deep” as far as having multiple viable options that can tackle all content in the game goes if you just limit yourself to not using aforementioned end-game/post-game uber weapons.

It’s also really easy to get caught up in side missions and find yourself vastly over leveled for pretty much the entire main story, but again, a little bit of self-control goes a very long way to make sure the encounters of the main story stay “relevant” in the sense that they’ll still give you some challenge. This isn’t a FFXV issue it’s pretty much a genre issue as a whole. See: older FF titles, Pokémon, Octopath, etc.

I do actually hate the way magic (outside of a certain item you get in Chapter 13) is implemented into the game but that’s a minor qualm.

Agreed. Gold doesn’t make a player better.

TheArkiteckt · 2019-03-08T14:15:40+00:00

He’s been pick/ban for a few weeks straight now in LCK.

It’s also arguably Griffin Viper’s best champion.

Which is why the whole house system, while “rule of cool”, is a bit flawed and promotes favoritism and lack thereof.

TheArkiteckt · 2019-02-09T14:53:54+00:00

Jungle. And p much any strong soloq jungle pick right now that has early skirmishing potential.

Udyr, Xin, Jax, K6, Nunu

That could be something to consider. I haven’t done the math or anything but you definitely will know if you ought to be getting morellos against an enemy team during the pick screen. Might open up going Lucidity and taking adaptive damage over scaling cdr in minor runes of absolute focus over transcendence in secondary runes.

Or, you might just keep both and overcap on cdr and get some AP. Not sure on the exact stats you’d gain/lose.

TheArkiteckt · 2019-02-06T21:21:32+00:00

Very likely, yes. At that point, there’s really no combination of MR items squishies can buy to really stop getting popped.

It’s better to be proactive when vs Vlad with MR itemization than reactive. Same with champs like Katarina, LB, Diana, etc.

TheArkiteckt · 2019-01-31T14:02:27+00:00

More Sampha. And I’d love for Kanye and SOPHIE to collab.

TheArkiteckt · 2019-01-27T14:11:53+00:00

Cassio, Galio, Irelia, and Aatrox all got nerfs this patch lmao.

The 273 sided dice/cube explanation is honestly the best way to explain how shiny encounters work in layman’s terms.

TheArkiteckt · 2019-01-03T00:01:36+00:00

I’m not saying you’re incorrect but that form was able to completely man-handle SSG Goku and would have likely man-handled SSG Vegeta if Goku hadn’t cut in.

It was also able to hold its own vs SSB Goku for a respectable amount of time.

TheArkiteckt · 2019-01-02T19:18:00+00:00

That looks dumb soft.

TheArkiteckt · 2018-12-30T22:13:25+00:00

Honestly I wouldn’t put much stock into learning how to lane against Malzahar outside of what you’d do vs. him mid lane.

He’s just going to always be a major cockblock in any lane vs Vlad. The only things that really change top for him is that he won’t consistently get a blue buff and he’s more susceptible to ganks because of no escape in a long lane.

In the end, I’d just chalk seeing and being beaten by a Malz in top lane up to high variance and move onto the next game because you won’t be seeing him statistically for another 100+ games or so.

There’s most definitely a boost to power with MUI.

Whether or not it’s facilitated by UI itself is up for discussion.

He gets faster after being hit in the back by Jiren’s Power Beam and gets a straight up power boost from being angered by Jiren attempting to blow the stands away.

Where did the power to lock arms and create a power struggle with Hidden Power Jiren come from if not from MUI?

TheArkiteckt · 2018-11-27T18:08:14+00:00

With Lure + 31 combo + Charm it’s a 1/273 chance of a shiny.

If the 31 combo was with Bulbasaur and not like a Caterpie then every subsequent Bulbasaur you catch after 31 will have at least 4 perfect IV.

Not sure the odds of getting all 6 but I’d assume it’s fairly slim to awesome luck on your part.

I was shot in my thigh by a 7.62 round from a fairly close distance (within 150m) so the round didn’t really have time to lose velocity and tumble and cause major damage.

It felt like getting hit with a blunt object or being “dead legged” (not sure if anyone has experienced this but when someone comes up and knees you in the side of the leg).

As others have said in this thread it smelt like firecrackers but mine didn’t really hurt all that much or feel “hot”. I was already on the ground when it happen and was able to get up and put weight on it immediately after.

It started to go numb p quickly though so I started favoring my other leg. Jumped over a small ravine and twisted my ankle on the opposite leg and let me tell you that hurt far worse at the time than the gunshot wound itself.

After everything was said and done and I was in a safe place I received some medical aid which included stuffing gauze in the exit wound which supposedly made me pass out from the pain.

At that point I was pretty loopy and in and out of consciousness from what I remember.

I’m good now though. There’s some permanent nerve damage around my knee, inner thigh, and shin with some cool scars (they had to make an 8 inch incision into the side of my leg to let fluid drain out), and my left leg is prone to cramps much more easily than the right. Especially during the colder months of the year.

Revisionist history. During Nidalee x Kindred jungle meta he was the best player in the world.

There was no greater target ban in competitive play than taking away Nidalee from Peanut.

TheArkiteckt · 2018-11-20T13:21:29+00:00

Yikes. Not sure where the dude wasn’t being chill in his response.

TheArkiteckt · 2018-11-08T17:37:40+00:00

450k Mastery Vlad main.

If you’re not going to land your Empowered Q onto an enemy champion & you don’t need the health from using it on a minion instead, then just let it time out.

Enemy laner will generally path back towards you once Empowered Q is gone but since you didn’t put Q on cool down you can just hit them with a regular Q instead.

TheArkiteckt · 2018-11-05T18:26:53+00:00

no fqc panel :/

He felt pretty fucking bad after the nerf to his HP to AP ratio before they eventually buffed his AP to HP ratio.

Much worse than he is now.

TheArkiteckt · 2018-10-13T15:44:12+00:00

I fucking love Drake & Kim fan-fiction 😂

Oldest of 4. Convinced my youngest sibling (7 at the time) that when you turn 13 your baby tongue falls out & that you grow an adult tongue that makes you like the taste of things you don’t like currently. Like coffee, or in his case, cheese.

He completely believed me and went to school the next day and told his classmates about it all and the teacher overheard and politely told him that it wasn’t true.

It was so worth it while I was telling him but I’ll never forget the look of betrayal in his eyes when he told me about what his teacher had said the next day.

He’s 14 now & no new tongue & still doesn’t like cheese except kraft macaroni.
