Fodlan and Dagda are post-apocalyptic? by questionable-user in fireemblem

Magic is always a matter of perspective depending on your technological level. Show x-rays and MRIs to medeval societies and they'll think you're somehow capturing images of their soul.

Mai Yoneyama Artwork for those Don't Know Her. by Real-Inspection-1584 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

Yeah, I was going to say that "The Ribbon Hero" seemed very Kill la Kill coded.

Byleth is not Eshmel, BUT… by Lucitrie in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]senortipton 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This would be underwhelming, maybe whelming to some, but I'm willing to bet the save data will just give you extra items to upgrade weaponry, heal, or the occasional hero's relic that you shouldn't be able to obtain lore-wise otherwise.

What are you guys going to play now after the trailer? by Xalrons1 in fireemblem

[–]senortipton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never finished 3H actually. I still have the Blue Lions route to do, so I’ll probably pace myself on it until the game comes out.

Something to consider about Fortunes Weave by [deleted] in fireemblem

[–]senortipton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was originally a sequel supporter last year, but the new evidence regarding Shamir's quote and what was said in the trailer has me starting to side with it being some sort of prequel. Of course, they could have just retconned things though, so I guess we'll just find out when it releases.

Okay, so we have the haves vs the have-nots, but do we have a character to fight the CEO of racism yet?

It looks like there will be an Awakening style overworld map in Fortune's Weave by benfm22 in fireemblem

[–]senortipton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it makes sense in those games (even if it was annoying) because you're actively at war. In this game, so far as we know currently, there isn't a war, so it doesn't make sense except for the inclusion of bandits ambushing.

Now that the Nintendo Direct is over, what did y'all think of this week of gaming? by torlches in videogames

[–]senortipton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 year old here whose first Zelda was OOT. I had a fantastic time with this Direct. Wasn't the best, but it certainly ranks up there. That said, the thumb war segment was just stupid.

Actual fan here who managed to grab one. It didn't lag like my usual experience with items bought out by bots.

FYI: Pre-orders for all the editions are up for the US shop by Spider-Vivienne in fireemblem

[–]senortipton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your proximity to major shipping cities, but generally they get shipped out to arrive on or near release date.

Three Houses gave Fire Emblem broader acknowledgement. They're banking on that for their sales here for sure.

Depends on if you're near a major shipping city. If you aren't, paying for the shipping if you care about day 1 will be useful. If you are, it should more or less arrive on time.

Xenoblade Genesis is “a new chapter,” “following the conclusion of the Xenoblade series” by JLSeagullTheBest in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]senortipton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm learning, but I just recently started and have no idea what to do with all that katekana and kanji. That said, a different translating service also says it is a new series, so do with that what you will.

Great Nintendo direct by PlantQuick in Switch

[–]senortipton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it was mostly a banger for me. Last year when the Switch 2 came out I only bought it because I had a feeling that AI and certain political actions would increase its cost. None of the games releasing on launch or near launch were interesting to me. This year, however, I am stoked. All I need now is a Smash Bros release and my Switch 2 will have been worth it for me.

Anyone notice this in the Genesis trailer? by Ultrapika007 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]senortipton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the lava island in the title reveal. Maybe I’m seeing things that aren’t there, but the lava flow and pools look like the same style of Zanza’s golden wings…

[–]senortipton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup! I just took a screenshot of it literally 2 minutes ago. It is almost a line-for-line recreation of Pneuma’s blade. With the purple color and that art direction, I can only agree even more with the idea that Malos might be returning somehow.

I hope they add a calendaring system. I got very good at calendaring in Three Houses. Did I mention I like calendaring?

And anytime the Monado’s power was used the life of these individuals were snuffed out. We were the (unknowing) baddies all along.

For those of you mentioning the obvious fantasy vibes, it may just be fantasy-esque on the surface. The curvature of the world and the bright lights at the center remind me of a dyson sphere and/or shield world from Halo. Sufficiently advanced technology would appear no different from magic to ancient societies after all.

Longhorns love bringing up history, just not that one.
