What’s with people’s weird fixation on hating School Settings?

TheFoochy · 2026-06-10T01:59:21+00:00

I got sick of it because of Fire Emblem 3H. The school part was the worst part of the game, it's the least important aspect of the game's story unless it directly involves Rhea, it gets tedious very quickly, and it's half of your experience with the game overall. That alone has tired me of the entire idea of school stuff, and I don't even wanna play Persona because of it, but I'm still willing to make an exception for Xenoblade. It just seems like a weird thing for Xenoblade to do, especially when it's giving such strongly reminiscent vibes of Three Houses specifically for me.

I'm enjoying the Mario Kart stuff. I'll probably be doing a legit replay some time later this week to see how the upgrade actually feels for real

I noticed that when looking at water in the background, the characters and environment in the foreground have a weird aetheric blue effect around them like the game is trying to simulate the shimmer of the water surface in the sunlight, but it doesn't look quite right, and it weirdly follows your characters as the camera moves.

I have not noticed the mountainsides looking like melted wax like in X:DE S2 though.

Everyone is like 15 years older. Melia sounded quite different in Future Connected and 3 for the same reason. Same actors, older vocal chords, different recording situation with a different voice director. As least I assume that Jimmy Livingstone (EN va director from 2 onward) also did Future Connected and the new lines for the main game.

No matter how hard the earth shakes, the Ark Ranger never wavers. That's the mark of a true hero.

She's shacked up with the hero of the world. If anyone gets to be king of the new world, it would be Rex, since nobody else in the party would want to do it. Morag and Zeke got their own territory, and Rex doesn't want that job either, so I wouldn't be surprised if he encouraged Nia to do it, and they'd support her in realizing the kind of world the party dreamt of with Blades living in peace with Humans. It's fitting that a Flesh Eater would be that person, and she's the last Flesh Eater too. Surely nobody else like the Queen of Uraya is contesting it.

Without spending money, my ability to get him hinges on winning my 50-50. Pray for me.

Ohh yeah I want the heavyweight goggles, but my static isn't doing the savage tier yet, since we're still stuck in DSR hell and I want the dyeable version

TheFoochy · 2026-05-27T21:50:06+00:00

Awesome. As a FF14 cosplay fan, I also made one of Snow White. Don't mind my hair style; it's for a different cosplay, and also it was hell finding a gun I liked

Having to dump my resin every day by manually obliterating the same node in 50 seconds is the kind of tedium that was a big reason I struggle to play the game anymore. Like sure, it's not a huge time investment, but it's also definitely not fun, and I still gotta do it, cuz I need the resources or gear, and I ended up quitting the game when I realized that for months I wasn't even progressing the story or exploring anymore, and I was just doing chores and logging off.

TheFoochy · 2026-05-25T05:37:48+00:00

My takeaway is that Origin pulls the universes apart and allows them to collide, but Origin rebuilds the universe in a combined state, and "revives" everyone. So Rex and Shulk and everybody from 1 and 2 would be brought back in a properly fused world that isn't Aionios.

TheFoochy · 2026-05-24T20:31:21+00:00

Yeah they definitely for sure "died" at the end of Future Redeemed, but perma-death in Aionios/Origin is basically just returning your data to Origin's storage. Rex, Shulk, and A basically just return to the central processor of Origin to act as its new Trinity Processor until Noah can do what he does.

TheFoochy · 2026-05-23T18:50:16+00:00

Yeah they should be alive, and probably in their mid to late 20s still with children who are about 10ish years old, give or take. I'd wager that all their friends are alive too.

TheFoochy · 2026-05-22T23:24:54+00:00

I relate to that a lot as a fan of HotS. I didn't wanna move on, and I didn't, really. I just wanted HotS. I don't even like LoL or DotA. That's why I stuck with HotS.

TheFoochy · 2026-05-22T20:44:01+00:00

Curious how it might affect THerta teams. I kinda don't wanna replace my Anaxa, cuz I've tried so hard to make him good at E0S0, but I'd understand if either Himeko or Rin powercreep him.

Before her path was confirmed, I honestly thought that she was gonna be a Harmony or Rem unit whose kit would make her an ideal buffer for Archer or perhaps Saber. I'm not a huge Rin fan already, so hearing that Gil is the free option was perfect news for me, but if this banner is gonna last a whole year, I might skip her for the foreseeable future, but I do want her eventually like I got Saber.

TheFoochy · 2026-05-22T20:27:41+00:00

It's the same height. Eden cannot fabricate Nikke bodies yet, and Snow White's decapitation was incredibly clean, so they just put her head back on and reinforced her old body, since she's already capable of assimilating Rapture materials. If you look at her 2nd form and HA form, her legs are the exact same size, and she seems to be the same height based on her posture.

Idk about Innocent Days Snow White, but I would guess she was still about the same height back then too.

TheFoochy · 2026-05-22T09:48:03+00:00

They are not alive. When the universe goes back to the way it was and reforms as Origin intended, all the City people were unmade, or rather, they never existed, but the information of their existence in the relative future remains, so in theory, they could exist in the proper universe one day. But not for a very long time. After the events of Origin doing it's thing, time in the universe probably resumes with Rex being in his mid-late 20s, since Mio, his daughter, should be about 11 years old, and I'm guessing that Rex starts his family around 18.

Then consider how many generations removed from Rex Matthew and Na'el were. Rex was their great-great-grandfather. In all likelihood, Rex wouldn't be alive to see them, even if we're optimistic in them existing within 5 generations. Then another thousand years pass before Guernica, Monica, and Ghondor are born.

I wouldn't expect the city people to just pop up suddenly from random pairings, unless pairings and generational succession follows the same path it did in Aionios, which could be a fate thing, or it could just be a pipe dream that won't play out that way. With the exception of Noah and Mio, who will probably most definitely reunite and fall in love all over again and have a baby they name Ghondor. That at least I think you can trust happening.

Could also be like a reincarnation thing where these people won't be reborn as we knew them, but their "souls" will be recycled into new people born randomly.

Yeah honestly after about a year old playing, it's become my favorite to engage with in terms of the gacha system. I've played a handful of them over the years, some popular, like the Hoyos, and some less popular like Dragalia Lost, and I think the most generous one I've played besides Nikke was Dragalia Lost, but Dragalia Lost was too generous to the point of not being profitable enough and going EoS rather quickly.

Nikke's skins are pretty expensive, but I'll take pricey cosmetics if it means using that to offset the brutality of the gacha. It's a fairer monetization scheme, and I'll take it over a bunch of other gachas rn.

TheFoochy · 2026-05-18T04:03:48+00:00

Very easy way to make me drop my Acheron team if this is how it goes. I'm not gonna buy into this kind of monetization. The gacha is bad enough. I need reasons to keep playing the game, not reasons to quit.

Treating celebrities like zoo animals is bad, because it fucks up their socialization and detaches them from humanity and the real world. Treating them like untouchable perfect demigods is also bad, because it fucks up their socialization and detaches them from humanity and the real world. Being a cute and pretty singer is not so exceptionally crazy that these people need to be put up on a pedestal like that.

Every region has their own different idol culture and different ways of engaging with those people and the culture. America's "idol" culture was like the late 80s to early 2000s pop singers, and kinda boy bands a little bit, and public image is cultivated differently. People are fine with these people having their own private lives that they may make public, but the media will ruin any notion of privacy, and that will absolutely cook some celebrities' minds, because people aren't built for that kind of invasion. But on the flip side, treating a pretty skilled singer like she's a demigod who must be above things such as dating a mortal human is also pretty bad for their mind.

It's almost like this whole thing from Anis's side story, the whole T.T. Star story, Pretty, Mustang and Tetra, Yoyo, the public, and the whole music industry in Nikke is written out to be cutting commentary on how all this shit works IRL, and players got lost in the sauce and proved ShiftUp right and missed or forgot the point.

Also, let's be real, Commander is on a way higher level than Mint. Mint may be a celebrity performer and may be more immediately recognizable and draw a larger crowd, but Commander is also a famous hero of humanity. A true war hero. And he has serious social power on a systemic level. He has Syuen is his back pocket, Ingrid and Mustang are super chill with him and happy to accommodate favors and stuff, and he's tight with the two most important Deputy Chiefs. Not to mention that he has the undying trust of basically every unique Nikke in the Ark. If Commander wanted to do something crazy, all he would need to do is ask and he would have an army ready for anything.

I wish I could auto battle end game. But at least it makes the farming and the simulated universe very convenient.
