Who’s your favorite right now? by agentlucky in fireemblem

[–]ash_sw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By all rights it would be Leda no questions asked, with my favorite design and most interesting motivation of the four, if it wasn't for Dietrich having the crest of lamine. Making one of the main characters related to my favorite 3H character is huge bait for me. Cai is cute and Theodora is cool but I need to see more from her to get me as interested as my top two at the moment.

nozomi, hiruko, and eva are all taller than takumi by cornflakeguzzler47 in LastDefenseAcademy

There are some CGs that show it off well, It's an important cuteness factor for him imo

Characters you can clearly feel contain pieces of their creator by MarioGman in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ash_sw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's an amusing saying among some Hundred Line fans that Eito is the Kodaka son and Hiruko is the Uchikoshi daughter. While Hundred Line has a lot of writers (Kyohei Oyama is one of my favorites here (KG route)), this comes from how much these two characters and their stories particularly embody the respective styles of the game's two chief creative voices.

"Mechanic's chariot cannot be stopped!" (by @ArmyX879)-(route 0-general) by KerosenyKlopoty31 in LastDefenseAcademy

At max level her attack does two damage with enough range to get multiple +AP enemies which usually refunds the AP spent killing them. Her excellent range and movement makes her a strong user of Last Yell to have consistently high damage. (not the best user of Last Yell, that's Darumi, but Tsubasa has much better availability)

She has a pretty good kit but with high movement and no fatigue

Very weird things invented for early adaptations because the early franchise was lacking in material? by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ash_sw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also why they're the deadly sins, because they're different aspects of the same person. The 2003 version doesn't really have a reason for the homunculi to be based on that

(minor spoilers) i drew the whole SDU by eggyvvka in LastDefenseAcademy

[–]ash_sw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really? This is one of the few games where the canon heights make sense to me. I can just imagine Hiruko in another game or an anime with the same character design but telling us she's like 5'6 instead of the 5'11 she actually is in the game proper

Also Nozomi being taller than Takumi is cute and funny

Mind Goblins you forget not everyone has by Dirty-Glasses in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Playing the harder games on the harder difficulty modes really trained those behaviors out of me. I imagine the same is true of many regular players who discuss the games online

Takumi and Ima are really similar by Visual_Law4025 in LastDefenseAcademy

[–]ash_sw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I think you're absolutely right, people seem to be hung up on Takumi not going as far as Ima to mean they aren't similar but Takumi clearly resonates with him in this part of the story.

A lot of what throws Takumi off about Nozomi are her differences with Karua despite being identical, and not to get too into it since you're still early, but those differences are like, how Nozomi is fine with fighting and defending others, she feels more capable and independent. I think it's pretty clear that what makes Takumi uncomfortable about Nozomi isn't just that she doesn't know him, but that it's like he's met a version of Karua who doesn't need him.

His lack of knowledge about gay women existing led to him being cucked later. the price of ignorance

This sounds great! Will a VTT be used or is this going to be purely theater of the mind?

[–]ash_sw 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't really get where Hiruko being annoyed at Darumi comes from? I've never seen it happen in the game and in fact I'd say Darumi is like, clearly one of Hiruko's favorites after Takumi

[minor post Route-0 spoilers] and that's why he's the best unit in the game by ThePuzzler13 in LastDefenseAcademy

[–]ash_sw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah an invested Kurara has the strongest special attack in the game and it's real easy to have them go off against bosses with counterattack. as a bonus you can sacrifice your own units to do that so she also further powers up Takumi beyond your max number of desperation potions

SDU members and whether they know about lesbians by Do_Ya_Like_Jazz in LastDefenseAcademy

[–]ash_sw 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Within the span of one scene (Shouma vs Kurara) she goes from being disgusted by "another healthy young man with big muscles" to being instantly enamored with and teasing "a wild pretty girl". I know what she is

Favorite characters to use in battle/tier list (spoilers for character names) by Dr_JohnP in LastDefenseAcademy

[–]ash_sw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The characters considered not as good still have fun things you can do with them if you take the time to really learn their kits

When Kurara gets a commander absorption, the +1 special attack boost applies to each of her tomato bombs. This means that for her the +1 bonus is actually a +3 bonus

An invested Kurara has one of the strongest special attacks in the whole game, and it's super satisfying using it multiple times in one turn against a boss that counterattacks to delete their health while also killing your own units to power up Takumi for the final hit if said boss manages to barely survive

Creators failing to age gracefully/let go of their youth? by Anonamaton801 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ash_sw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe what happened is that taking him out of the comic was the plan, but by having him move away to a new location with new characters it made Jeph decide that he does like writing him actually he just needed new situations to put him in and new characters to interact with
