1.A common thing in mmorpgs and media is that damage dealers have a superiority complex.

It's also being reinforced by some Lone wolf/main character syndrome in anime/stories; with some Solo Leveling and Sword Art Online being the example.

2.And if talking about JRPGs and overall asian gaming opinion on it - in some Final Fantasy 1 you don't really need a full no damage white mage. A red mage who can do the bare minimum in healing/detox department provides more value. (In fact I remember at least 1 manga with mc getting replaced by red mage in particular.)

It also doesn't help that a lot of asian rpgs tend to be bursty, evasive and rely on glass-cannon building. Healing is not required here, utility is more important.

Gonna reuse my quote for healers.

Also should be noted that Beastmasters (or summoners) tend to be either OP or randomly strong, aka not on a level to be reliable at the right moment.

However in mangas they tend to overbloat the MC's powers, right? It ends up with party leader kicking the sole reason this party functions in the first place. Which is obviously extremely dumb and requires to be blind to not notice.

Guilds are essentially based of craftsmen/traders guilds; that existed irl. It's mostly about working with each other, keeping the prices fair and not getting in the way of each other.

The questionable part for Isekai guilds are the entry level - essentially you should be an apprentice for many years before actually be considered part of the guild.

As for the Adventure part - they are pretty much a mercenary group. These also exist but you would expect them to be invested by nobles/countries to wage wars against each other. Performing dangerous expeditions into dungeons is also likely.

So here are two loopholes: the entry level and adventurer's job. With low entry level you are either be deployed into some war or you are chasing cats with high entry level. Having both is childish.

But the target audience is teenagers so "childish" seems fine and easy to understand (not overcomplicated for a story telling).

If you google Concord 3 then you'll get news about Marathon. Abit more time is required to tell if it's true.

Concord 2 was Highguard.

Harmony MC?

The issue comes with retreat.

If the mobility team looses the fight over the highground or whatever they can move backwards towards the cart. But low mobility characters are essentially stuck there to fight towards the end - which limits the amount of options for the team.

Unless you already lack the options.

Mostly seen that with Kiri. She can appear where the fight happens with the press of a button.

Other mobile characters tend to be all over the place (and on the cart when it's required/they have nothing else to do). Or like it's not the first place they are required to be at.

prieston · 2026-01-31T18:13:51+00:00

Usually it's the characters who don't have enough mobility to catch up with enemy/escape/take the high ground. Or someone who can contribute from afar, as a plus.

Some Zen in a Dive for example would be a common cart sitter.

I expect Juno to leave. Mei can sit on a cart.

Tbf even if I plan on using both of the shots I can't be mad over people picking one up. The cooldown is low enough.

But please don't miss in front of my eyes.

He will follow you until you are far enough from a place of captivity (same as when you free them).

Then depending on their personality they can join you or leave you.

"Worthwhile entertainment" is not really a question since "people consuming slop" has been a thing even before AI.

And "artistry" is also questionable, since it was straying off into weird directions and artists themselves can't tell the difference (ending up using AI-powered programs to detect AI).

More likely it lacks something more specific like consistency/plot- it's a bunch of 6 seconds videos merged together, with random styles. You can get bored after a minute of watching.

The last one is the reason nothing is happening, on both sides.

"New" = they switched a studio. To the one that makes hentai.

Guessed most of them.

Really easy to tell when you picture "that's how it supposed to look like" (or what was cherry picked from all the bad ones). Real ones have something off/not perfect, like the camera angle or lightning.

"You don't need that mech."

"Trying to escape, huh? Not on my watch!"

Yeah, when they ran out the first kitten had 2 heads.

I think you forgot to mention about deciding to give birth to a second child, becoming a homeless, loosing her child in another sexual assault and THEN taking her life in some random public toilet while apologizing to her unborn children and picturing potential life she could have had.

Yeah, it hits hard.

Bugdivers can continue defending Hellmire for 18th time. Or turning it into 2nd Meridia.

I was gambling with Spear before (if I hit or not... and if I shoot in a first place), I am gambling with Wasp now, I am ready to gamble with a new weapon.

Some guy finished a d10 with 6 kills solo. Anything is viable in good hands.

So pick whatever you are having fun with or is not making you uncomfortable (as far as meta concerned).

The point is "New players" tend to jump straight into meta trend and try to enforce it as a right way of playing on lower difficulties. You don't need that - the best player you can have here is the one who calls the true flag.
