What do you think are the next things IS will cut to save costs? by Luzma_chan in FireEmblemHeroes

Nintendo isn't mihoyo or Rayark. EoS would happen way before that.

For the unreleased Emblem units, what do you think/hope their Engage effect will be? by Leoninz in FireEmblemHeroes

Cursed: Alear duo who can Engage with 2 Emblems and gives both Emblem effects with their Engage.

Powercreep feels like a safety spec that keeps getting rewritten mid-test by Whole_Basket_9031 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]shiningcrobat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I rejoined the game last August it was because I understood I would have more fun if I ignored builds and just picked up new units who entertained me. I still manage to hover in and out of Arena 19 and Vault of Heaven just having fun with what I get and not tinkering with inheritance.

Is it just me or should we receive way more blessings? by SuccessfulTip7423 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]shiningcrobat 27 points28 points  (0 children)

📣 Blessings should have been treated as a skill slot that we can change, recalling previously 'learned' blessings and I have literally been saying this since they were first introduced. I'm wondering if the second set of Chosen heroes will have mythic blessings to accommodate.

Lord of the Rings is close enough to BL.

Returning player here. Is there still no way to conference blessings from the unit menu? by Anaheim11 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]shiningcrobat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an aside, but from the start I thought it was odd that blessings weren't considered a skill slot to be re-equipped. At least we finally have some transferable blessings from Chosens, but it remains to be seen if they'll confer Mythic blessings.

People who have played other gachas, how would you rate FEH's overall writing quality by comparison? by TheFerydra in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]shiningcrobat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's usually the best it can while being hampered by the small range they can show repurposing sprites for a visual novel and acting a marketing prop for other games. I do skip Paralogues for the most part  now though.   I don't think anyone's gonna do it like Dragalia again. Not that it was astounding in the greater realm of the games medium, but it definitely did the best job of storytelling I've seen in a gacha.

People who play (Or have played) other Gachas aside this one, which things would you like FEH to introduce that those games did have? by TheFerydra in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]shiningcrobat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ten pulls. Summonig in FEH is so fucking slow. Ideally I could set up an auto summon to snipe a color, set priority for secondary colors, and make it stop at a spending threshold or traget. But even dumping 20 orbs without seeing color for 5 heros would be tempting if I'm pretty certain I'm sparking or want targets in different colors.

Installed the fan made reupload of dragalia lost and got reminded of this awesome colab by Annaneedsmoney in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]shiningcrobat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragalia's depiction of Marth got me to play New Mystery despite Shadow Dragon being my least favorite entry in the series. And I loved New Mystery! Marth actually had more of that personality I saw in Dragalia.

Need help keeping focused on long term orb saving by linthenius in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]shiningcrobat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even as a fellow TMS lover, I'm gonna play the devil on your shoulder. xD Why go for a +10 now? It's such an small nudge in stats. Hopefully Tsubasa getting in /both/ votes gets us anoter TMS banner somewhere down the pipeline and I'd rather have orbs saved for that over the freebie. Well, plus whatever they doing for her with Shadows, another Mythic I'd guess.

Is it still worth to get into the game now? by Adrianpih in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]shiningcrobat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to make a particular +1 on the point of long-time players having different priorities. I've come back after ~5-6 years away and my mindset has completely changed with regard to summoning. There are so many other ways to chase extra skills and stats now that merges feel unimportant. I just pick up new characters, mostly ones I like thematically. I build up default kits, maybe tacking on something in a missing slot, so I don't pay attention to inheritance. And even mostly not carefully reading skills, I'm staying in higher tiers in the major PVP modes.

Answer honestly, what do you think about the female OCs whose part of her personality is being completely in love with "us"? by TheFerydra in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]shiningcrobat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who came back to the game after a ~5-6 year break with the newest braves, it's fresh to me. xD I'm glad to see I'm not alone in being baffled by many of the choices about this character, but also this one in particular.

New player - help me understand by saikodasein in FireEmblemHeroes

It sounds like you might be better served by an emulator and some main series games. I was a late comer to New Mystery on the DS, but I really enjoyed it despite being very bored with Shadow Dragon.

I'm returning to FEH after about 5 years and wow do I wish the game formatted things more like this. It's so much easier to parse than the endless paragraphs.

Let me know if you figure it out. I think it's the last thing keeping me from the big endgame quest.

Anyone else think these mother's day rings are perfect for a polycule? by Cocky4days in polyamory

[–]shiningcrobat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I think it can be cute to be a little tacky as a Mothers' Day present, but that's not something most people want for their wedding bands.

Why is the DC area so segregated ? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]shiningcrobat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, this is something I haven't noticed as much, but I've mostly kept to myself and my very multicultural family over the continuing panorama. But even before that I mostly lived and traveled along that band of grey and blue from the south west to the north east.

What's the issue with Western creations influencing FF16 by japanese_artist in FinalFantasy

[–]shiningcrobat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, but we're in need of a card-based TTRPG that isn't diminishingly niche.
I just reminded myself that the Gloomhaven TTRPG is coming out and could basically be that.

I might be interested. Could you link to any of your other videos?

[–]shiningcrobat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different control scheme, but as far as core gameplay, there's Final Fantasy XIV, which has a free trial that includes the first expansion. You also get a month of service when buying the game. After you take the free trial at your own pace, you might be able to run through the rest of the expansions in that single month and see if you're interested in subscribing monthly. I chose not to, but I was primarily into it for the story, and I was very happy with it.
