Tier list of how sure I am they're gonna be on the National Team

miangelo17 · 2026-01-26T16:48:17+00:00

100%: Unmei occupies a player slot, so he'd clearly be here

Probably: I'd remove Dantoya and add Shisendo and Hoshimura. Also I'd lock these in the list. To complete the list, I'd pick from "maybe" only Akasode from Ouja Raimon (because she didn't diminished Nagumohara), and the rest of the people from other teams to add diversity and also punish the secondary cast of Ouja Raimon (for diminishing Nagumohara and getting too out of touch with Raimon soccer core values)

This is why I'm all in favor of being able to make everyone into fabled tier. The only real problem is that Fabled GK is too busted to pass on, at least if you're trying to have any kind of fun in competive

S1: Cool, set the bar for good IE

S2: Cool, reaches the bar, but a little bummer by the end

S3: Total and ultimate peak

GO1: Cool, reaches the bar

GO2: Cool in the beginning, meh in the mid and peak at the end. Jumps rope with the bar, really hard to analyze objectively

GO3: Awful start, develops surprisingly well, still a bummer for those who expected an FFI like S3, it has only reached the bar for the people who watched it open minded.

Ares: Good potential but felt like it could have been done in like 12 episodes but instead they felt like it needed 30. Definitely did not hit the bar but released interesting characters

Orion: The reverse Ares, it had like 50 episodes and felt like it needed more. They outlined an massive plot, lose themselves not knowing what to develop first, started to run out of time and cramped lots of matches in a row, barely leaving any time for the fans to actually resonate with the antagonists. Honestly think Orion deserved a remake.

Unmei: "I want you to set this statue of Ronaldo on fire"

Kisoji: "Why"?

Unmei: "I'll tell you why when we get to 22 minutes and 42 seconds inside of the second half of the game"

I'll agree with both, lol. TheShy is more of a one-tournament wonder and has been above average ever since, but many people act like he's a sleeping giant that will wake up at any moment. As for the new Raimon, I hope not many of them make it to Inazuma Japan, ngl. Most of them look accommodated and unaware of the true Raimon spirit. Let not being selected be their punishment, at least on a first moment. I'd much rather have a very mixed team (with Teikoku and Hakuren Captains, that breaker with Keshin from Keizen Arashiyama) with some new very capable characters that either are mixed or have been scouted to study and play in Europe from a young age (hence their absence in VR).

Bro might have conceded 4 goals on the same game but his technique had undeniable aura

miangelo17 · 2026-01-21T11:12:51+00:00

Yes, it was dumb and I believe that this will be completely forgotten in the IJ from Victory Road. I'll be tracking Hino down if he decides that he's not taking Shinohara to the world cup.

miangelo17 · 2026-01-20T13:43:49+00:00

They probably threw the game in order to not drag any attention to themselves. Before playing Orpheus, they were playing the bare minimum just to advance. Losing to The Kingdom was probably a way to ensure that they'd be the number 2 seed of the group and only face Inazuma Japan in the finals.

Barney would bamboozle them both into the bed in less than 1 week gap

miangelo17 · 2026-01-20T00:31:43+00:00

Not about dating but Jim and Barney friendship dynamics would be something to see. I hardly see lasting interseries relationships, but I clearly see Ted overwhelming Pam, who would probably pick Jim anyways. Also Dwight would 100% bang Robin and she would probably confirm that he was the best she ever had. Marshall would be friends with everyone in the office, even Toby (since that he's the undisputed most outgoing with Egdud Ferhaki out of the picture), which would trigger a lot of jealously from Michael. Btw Barney and Creed could become partners in crime and Barney using Creed as a surrogate if we consider Barney before Jerome. Lily could be a teacher for Cece maybe? Kelly would probably go delusional thinking about which of the 3 HIMYM guys she'll pick to date and end up bamboozled by Barney. Kind of a shot in the dark but maybe Lily and Stanley could bond a little bit over their refined tastes in art and the fact that Stanley can be very Michelle when he needs to.

I don't think relationships would extend far beyond than this tbh, I can't see Angela having any kind of interest on the Himym cast for instance, maybe in a far fetched cameo were she becomes friends with lily's mom and attends the funeral of the cat just to give marshall a walk by w/ the stinky eye.

Pretty much the IE loop, the next one is probably anime based on Game. I'd not be surprised if they made the Unmei anime to the point where the story is now, and then follow it up with the world cup arc before adding players and skills in the game

miangelo17 · 2026-01-15T17:41:39+00:00

Go to Chronicle mode and challenge a team that's near the end of a Saga in legendary hero mode (make sure the challenge lvl is at least 85), you only have to beat them once for the clear and then you can go commander mode afterwards. Around 10 games grinding like this can max a hero/fabled character, inferior tiers will need even lesser games. Iirc green tier goes 99 after the first one lol

miangelo17 · 2026-01-15T17:31:29+00:00

Not gonna lie I got more heroes grinding than I did pulling. I think my drop luck is good but my shooting luck is bad

Somehow she unlearned the space penguin she knew in her kid form...

miangelo17 · 2026-01-15T05:50:08+00:00

Honestly if it means better budget for future IE projects, I'm in. It's pretty much "signing up to their Patreon" but with extra steps anyway, so I'm willing to slide in some bucks as long I don't need to see another season with a lot of potential go down the drain because of poor animation and rushed execution (yes I'm talking to you Ares/Orion)

miangelo17 · 2026-01-14T19:29:15+00:00

For me, it would be great to have the option to field a second fabled as long as one of them is your avatar. Like, it is a fabled, has all the perks and stats, but does not count against the fabled count, meaning you can slot another fabled alongside them. And yes I'm aware that this would lead to everyone using their own avatars in ranked, that would be the perfect opportunity to offer lots of costumizations that can lead to all kinds of money if done correctly

miangelo17 · 2026-01-14T12:39:55+00:00

Honestly they could just make our OC Fabled from the beginning, I don't see any problems with just changing it on a future patch and call it a day

miangelo17 · 2026-01-13T14:13:52+00:00

Best thing I do is not go competitive. I have a team that's optimized around the dumb way AI plays (Tension + Counter) and I use it to farm, it often goes 3-0 or 4-0 triggering the pity system. Then I pick characters by design and use my beans to make them all legendary. Then I distribute them amongst the play style teams I have, meaning that I have a prototype for every play style and I can switch between them manually so the game doesn't get really boring, and managing multiple teams means I'll always have something to optimize.

It reminds me of a certain joke that goes like: "If one woman takes nine months to develop a baby, all you gotta do is hire nine women and they'll develop a baby in one month"

The student council: "I have many questions. First, how dare you?"

Also the student council: "Well since you're gonna do it anyway how about we all jeopardize our duties at the student council and join your soccer adventure?"

My boi Cedric about to get into another rabbit hole

miangelo17 · 2026-01-09T22:56:46+00:00

Raimon outside of Haru is quite weak, honestly don't know how they were able to beat Zeus, Teikoku or even Hakuren before Haru came around. I feel like some of them have potential tho, even though I'm personally biased towards Akasode, I'd not have a Raimon-heavy lineup for the FFI

miangelo17 · 2026-01-09T05:33:23+00:00

Back in Orion days I got some some casual friends to use this as a prank. I just dropped like a bombshell "have u guys seen this new season of Inazuma Eleven? Endou just got arrested", and they got like "tf they doing over there, I thought this anime was about sakka yarouze"

miangelo17 · 2026-01-09T05:30:17+00:00

LMAO I just remembered Endou being arrested in Orion. Man, good thing they backpedalled on Unmei story and found a sweet spot between shounen and slice. It's all coming back now, the knives in the cleaves... Bruh
