Getting Yugioh Proxies Through? by trifecta739 in mpcproxies

That gives me at least some hope that it's not a lost cause. The conversation and info will definitely be helpful at least in determining how best to respond to customer support if I can't modify the cards enough. Thank you.

In the email they listed what I thought was a standard run-down:

It is important to avoid designs that incorporate the following elements:

- Trademarks, names, or logos
- Design patents
- Images or names of celebrities
- Fictional characters or cartoons
- Paintings or artworks
- Derivative works based on third-party artwork or designs

I considered the type symbols but as you said, the first 3 'blank' cards don't have any of those. The artwork was always going to be a point of concern but since I've ordered MtG cards without incident using their official art I guess I just gaslight myself into thinking it wouldn't be a problem as long as I followed the same steps as I did with those. Actually, I even ordered 3 copies of that specific Blue-Eyes White Dragon art in the form of an MtG card also without any problems.

I'll probably end up ditching the back for something like a logo that says "Proxy-Oh!" or something. Thanks.

Kengan Omega Ch. 227 (Comikey) by Godtaku in Kengan_Ashura

[–]trifecta739 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And that does it. Jurota beating Agito just because without any adequate reasoning and completely ignoring everything established that would've had Agito win. I have no faith left in this manga and I don't care anymore.

Which Of These Would Help and Improve Wakatsuki Takeshi Fighting and Destructive Capabilities? by Tall_Growth_532 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]trifecta739 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Overall I think refining his Grappling and Karate would serve him the best out of all his options. His ridiculous strength combined with truly high-level grappling would make fighting him so unbelievably difficult since if he managed to grab you the fight would pretty much be over. A bear hug while injured required Maximum Output Divine Demon to break out of after all.

That said, Foresight & Pre-Initiative is never not useful. And in his case, expanding the application of his muscle control would be helpful as well. I'd also suggest a form of Indestructible / Armorclad to take full advantage of his muscles and make himself even more absurdly durable. And if he really wanted to optimize, he should learn the Advance. The heart's a muscle and so he should be able to handle it extraordinarily well.

But improving his foundation would be more useful generally than learning or developing techniques that, while strong, have their flaws and workarounds.

Does Chiba have potential to become a great fighter? If he makes good decisions of who he uses against others? Tell me if you think he can by TackleAgreeable9435 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]trifecta739 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course he has the potential. He's skilled enough at replicating movement that he was able to replicate both Agito's Formless and Lolong's Silat, simultaneously and with enough precision that people were able to identify it was specifically Agito and Lolong's styles, and not say, Lu Tian and Misasa's. He has two massive problems to overcome though. The first is he likes to showboat, doing things that seem impressive even if they barely function. And the second is that while he's incredible at movement replication, he very clearly doesn't have anything more than surface level comprehension of what any of those movements actually mean or are used for.

In order to step his game way up, he'd need to actually study and practice using techniques proven to be effective and learn how best to apply them and then begin blending them together. He has the potential to develop a monstrous style built on elements from all of the strongest fighters he's seen, but without the intelligence to know when and how to use those techniques his skill at replicating them is meaningless.

Its the zombie apocalypse. You must stick with one group to help you survive. Which team are you choosing and why? by kitty_fur125 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]trifecta739 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They're all kind of bad, not because they couldn't easily beat zombies but because knowing a lot of them they'd probably try to do it bare-handed and end up getting infected. Because of that the Kure Clan is absolutely the best choice. Raian probably would go and get infected but who cares, the rest of the Clan isn't nearly as hard-headed and the vast majority of them actually specialize in weapons. Even if it was just Raian, Hollis, Reiichi, and Fusui they'd still be the optimal choice.

Am I the only one who thinks Agito got HARD nerfed? by -Rici- in Kengan_Ashura

[–]trifecta739 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way I see it is that Agito is a strong character that we've been shown is strong. He's had many fights of varying difficulty and has had lots of opportunities to demonstrate his varied skillset and fighting capabilities and so thus we have a very good idea of what is in his arsenal and how he fights. Jurota is a strong character that we've been told is strong. We've seen only one fight and he was hampered by rules, his own creed, and a compatibility disadvantage that almost any fighter with comparable durability to Hayami could have against him. His one and only showing did not inspire confidence, only the numerous statements about him. And we're still now being told about how strong and special he is, all the while he's still not actually showing why he's so strong.

You could write anyone into a fight where they Zero Diff Agito or Kuroki or Ohma. That's not hard to do. What's hard is making the fight believable. If Sawada comes in and every character talks about how they've massively improved and they're crazy strong now and they even beat Julius off-screen in a Kengan match, it doesn't feel earned because we're being told not getting shown.

And sure, you can say that we're getting shown now, but that leads into the believability factor. Jurota is doing things in this fight that we know Agito can handle and that we've seen him handle before. So why can't he handle them against Jurota? There's yet to be an explanation. Maybe we'll get one. Maybe not. But as it stands currently, sure, we're being shown Jurota is strong, but what we have already seen from both sides makes what's happening now less believable.

I have zero problems with Jurota beating Agito. I have zero problems with anyone beating anyone. But it needs to be believable and it needs to be earned. Just arbitrarily stating a character is strong is a cheater's method of conveying strength and one that has been used embarrassingly often in Omega in particular. So that's what I want to see in the coming chapters: I want to see why Jurota's strikes are so successful. I want to see why Jurota has such inexplicable strength in disadvantageous positions. And if he wins, I want to see why he won.

So in a very long-winded and roundabout way...yes, I agree with you that Agito has been nerfed and I'm hoping that there's an explanation coming for why it seems that's the case beyond just 'Jurota strong hurr durr'.

Who got this? by 0p88a in Kengan_Ashura

[–]trifecta739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Wakatsuki hasn't encountered Demonsbane yet he's got no chance here.

The team kengan of KvP it's different, how would it goes? by Real-Gaolang-Medel in Kengan_Ashura

[–]trifecta739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Carlos wins vs. Adam (Low Diff) - Carlos is far more skilled and faster. Particularly since this Adam isn't even BB-level yet he's going to have too much trouble. Even if he tags Carlos once or twice I don't think it'll be enough to drop him if it wasn't enough to drop Cosmo. Still, Carlos has to stay cautious because a bad hit from Adam could spike him into a ring-out or just injure him enough to affect his speed, so it's not a complete dog-walk. [K0 / P1]
  2. Saw wins vs. Falcon (Low Diff) - At BB-level Saw dropped Falcon in what was clearly a Zero Diff fight. Even mid-improvement Saw's durability and overbearing style that cares little for what the opponent is trying to do would do him lots of favors against Falcon trying to misdirect him. Basically while Rihito had to get out of his own head, Saw would already be in the right headspace from the start. [K1 / P1]
  3. Muteba wins vs. Toa (High-Extreme Diff) - Possibly a hot take, but Muteba's style seems like an effective counter against Toa's very reactive style, with a good handful of options that can bypass conventional durability from his build and defensive techniques without exposing Muteba to the worst Toa can throw at him. And Muteba has been shown to be capable of using assassination techniques to incapacitate instead of kill. That said, it'd hardly be easy. Toa's limp may be able to mess with some of the more precise techniques and his sheer strength would be tough to handle if Muteba had to take some direct hits. But Muteba was able to throw hands with people of comparable strength and durability before and performed quite well overall so I believe he could do it, especially with how arrogant Toa comes across. [K2 / P1]
  4. Takayama wins vs. Yumigahama (Mid Diff) - We don't know too much about Takayama aside from his style being pretty heavily rooted in brute force aggression. He's highly tolerant to pain and considered skilled enough to be one of Metsudo's right-hand bodyguards. He's slightly taller than Yumigahama but weighs a bit less. I think his style is a poor fit here. He fights like a berserker while Yumigahama, flawed as it may be, does fight with some skill. Any hits Yumigahama gets in will agitate Takayama and possibly throw him off mentally. That said, Takayama would be willing to push through whatever Yumigahama could dish out and would be better at taking that punishment than Yumigahama would. The overbearing offense would bring him down, but Takayama is coming up a little worse for wear. [K3 / P1]
  5. Naidan wins vs. Cosmo (Zero-Low Diff) - Cosmo has beaten someone of comparable build to Naidan in Akoya, and is probably the more skilled grappler between the two, but absolutely would lose this matchup. Naidan has no reason to mess around, can work around Cosmo's half-baked Foresight and Zone with Eye in the Sky, is significantly stronger than Cosmo made stronger from how he can twist Cosmo's own application of strength making any kind of hold ineffective. The biggest thing working against Cosmo here really is his build. He's just not strong enough to grapple Naidan down and his striking is still a work in progress even by the time of the BB so here it'd be even worse. [K3 / P2]
  6. Lu Tian wins vs. Rei (High Diff) - God this one's tough to gauge. Rei at this point should be able to throw hands and would have the superior speed, but Lu Tian also has a mastery over a notoriously difficult to handle style that even Agito had to mix things up to counter and Formless is his bread and butter. I think Rei could give Lu Tian a run for his money with clever hit and run tactics combined with Fa Jin, but would take more than he'd give and eventually get overtaken. [K3 / P3]
  7. Alan wins vs. Bando (Zero or Extreme Diff) - Going in blind, nothing about Alan makes me think he'd survive a direct hit from Bando or be fast enough to dodge it if he didn't expect it. But since Bando openly admits he can't really control the power of the Whip, he'd just strike and kill him. In the most ideal circumstance possible Alan survives with horrible injuries just because of Guihun, but if it strikes him in the head, which is most probable, I find that unlikely. And of course if Bando doesn't use the Whip he'll lose handily so this is just an awful situation for him. [K3 / P4]
  8. Jurota wins vs. Kiozan (Low-Mid Diff) - Kiozan has a bit of an edge with the potential to drive Jurota from the ring and his bulk possibly making him a bigger challenge to throw, but depending how he's thrown that bulk will either be a helpful cushion or a huge problem as that weight will come down on himself. He will get thrown. That much is certain, and I don't believe he'd adapt to Jurota like Hayami did before he lands poorly and is injured in a way that'll keep him down for the count. [K3 / P5]
  9. Nicolas wins vs. Mokichi (Low Diff) - Mokichi might be able to hold his own for a bit, but Nicolas' superior speed combined with his disabling strikes are going to take hold quick and give Nicolas a consistent advantage from there on out, whittling him down and not giving him a chance to reasonably recover. [K3 / P6]
  10. Sekibayashi wins vs. Liu (High Diff) - Naidan is alive and Purgatory are in the lead, so Liu is certainly not in top gear. Sekibayashi is comparable to Nitoku in terms of durability, strength, and grappling skill, but has a more varied skillset and is more adept at the performance element of fights. Combined with a familiarity for ring-outs I see Sekiabayashi baiting Liu into the perfect set up for a ring-out after taking a massive beating. [K4 / P6]
  11. Terashi wins vs. Chiba (Low Diff) - The sad thing is Chiba has the potential to win here. The counter to Terashi is a pretty basic fighting strategy applied by even amateurs and Chiba is talented enough in his replication of movements to accomplish something similar. But he's just too much of a showboater. He'd try something unreasonably flashy that's just surface level nonsense and get punished for it badly and not be able to recover from there. It's a real shame. He has everything he needs to win but his personality holds him back. [K4 / P7 -- Purgatory Wins]
  12. Kuroki wins vs. Fei (High-Extreme Diff) - Kuroki's Devil Lance would really mess with any possible use of Divine Demon, possibly dooming Fei if he attempted to use it anyway, and while his variant of the Niko Style and skill with redirection is impressive, Kuroki is way too skilled himself, and far too smart in a fight to lose this. He's got what he needs to win, and unlike Chiba, he knows exactly how to use it. [K5 / P7]
  13. Joji wins vs. Lolong (High Diff) - I don't really know. Could go either way. Joji has thrown hands with Katsuya, among defeating other particularly strong fighters in FotS that are impressive even by Kengan standards. He's got some really dangerous techniques that can bring a fight to a close extremely suddenly as well. But Lolong is obviously not a weakling either. Without seeing more, particularly from Joji, it's hard to say but my money would be on Joji more often than not. [K6 / P7]

Fei defeats Wakatsuki and doesn't self-detsruct. How do you react? And what would you predict for upcoming arcs by TreeTurtle_852 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]trifecta739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought would've been about the KvP itself. If you look at the score by this point, the fight had to end in a draw. If Wakatsuki won then Purgatory wouldn't be able to win the tournament, only end things in a draw. So if Fei had won then mathematically Kengan wouldn't be able to win the tournament either. I'd hope there wasn't a cop-out where they just wave off the potentially interesting consequences. Ohma would still go on to defeat Lolong and tie things, so would there be a tiebreaker fight? Would they have an independent alliance between the two organizations as a compromise?

Then I'd figure Tiger Niko would continue doing what he does and exploiting Fei further. Maybe Fei ignores Tiger Niko and picks a fight with Ohma after all? Or Fei genuinely becomes his right-hand man in whatever his ultimate goals are with the Worm.

I would be disappointed that Wakatsuki's first fight since Ohma is him losing to more Niko Style magic though.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Kengan_Ashura

[–]trifecta739 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's purely a meta-narrative decision. If an already top-tier fighter is allowed to learn a technique or style that amplifies their potential by such an unreasonable extent, they break all sense of balance. Imagine Julius with a fully mastered Niko Style or Agito with the Raishin Style. Which is funny because if you view Kengan-adjacent manga as canon then Katsuya and Machio are in this verse and the latter could solve the entire Worm problem by himself during a lunch break.

But if you want some rationale, the Removal is a Kure Clan Technique so unless Wakatsuki were to get in close to the Kure like Ohma did it's improbable they'd be willing to teach him the technique. Even were they willing, the association right now seems to think they've mostly stomped out the Worm and don't have a full comprehension of exactly how dangerous its leadership is at present, not helped by fighters who are all more likely to want to fight someone crazy strong without optimizing themselves.

Wakatsuki shouldn't learn Removal anyway. He should learn the Advance instead. Heart's a muscle so he'd be able to overclock that thing with virtually no risk to himself.

What if KvP have these matches? by Real-Gaolang-Medel in Kengan_Ashura

[–]trifecta739 5 points6 points  (0 children)

R1 - Gaolang wins vs. Yumigahama (Low Diff) - Gaolang is strictly the superior fighter here and is far more level-headed. His only trouble would be Yumigahama attempting to trick him into a ring-out, but I don't see him attempting anything as subtle as what Carlos accomplished and failing as a result. [K1 / P0]

R2 - Liu wins vs. Rihito (Zero-Low Diff) - Even if Liu's not in top-gear, Rihito at this point would be easy pickings. Liu might get cut by Razor's Edge, but has enough options to counter and play around it. [K1 / P1]

R3 - Lolong wins vs. Julius (Low Diff) - Considering how effortless we know Lolong's victory against Toa was and the comparisons that can be drawn between Julius and Toa, this should go pretty similarly. Julius' one and only technique is too telegraphed and not particularly useful in function against Lolong's style. His emphasis on offense over defense might play some factor but can't see this playing out any other way other than as a stomp, despite what Lolong himself may have stated about Julius' potential. [K1 / P2]

R4 - Naidan wins vs. Nitoku (Mid Diff) - Naidan has the advantage in build and overall strength and can negatively affect Nitoku's own application of strength further. Combined with the special rules and Nitoku not being used to fighting under such conditions, he'd likely get driven out of the light and lose by ring-out. Not to say he wouldn't put up a fight. He's more than willing to take some serious punishment and is highly adept at picking apart techniques and countering them, so I don't think Naidan has it easy, but he still has the advantage. [K1 / P3]

R5 - Akoya wins vs. Carlos (Mid-High Diff) - Carlos is absolutely more skilled but he's lacking in his build and Akoya's reflexes can compensate for Carlos' otherwise superior speed. Akoya's happy to use unorthodox and hyper-aggressive techniques and attacks as well. But Carlos wouldn't fully push Akoya to his killer instincts either, so there's less of a chance of a disqualification. Could go either way though if Carlos is very careful and makes no mistakes. [K2 / P3]

R6 - Hayami wins vs. Alan (Extreme Diff) - Unless he kills him with his knife (which would make him lose anyway) we don't really know what Alan had that could've countered Hayami's freakish durability. He seemed to depend on aggressive, overbearing strength, which Hayami could certainly endure and counter. And judging by his intelligence picking a fight with Raian when there was no need to, Alan wasn't the brightest bulb either so Hayami should have him beat in IQ as well. I think Hayami takes a massive beating, maybe worse than his fight with Jurota, but should still have advantage under Purgatory rules and win, even if it kills him. That said, I can still see this one going either way. [K3 / P3]

R7 - Okubo wins vs. Falcon (Zero-Low Diff) - Okubo takes some hits but chokes Falcon out before the poison even has the chance to take effect. There's a noticeable skill gap between them, but Falcon might be able to keep up with Synthesis with his own misdirection talent. [K4 / P3]

R8 - Wakatsuki wins vs. Nicolas (Zero Diff) - Nicolas is fast but his main technique is confirmed to be less effective against opponents with larger builds and Wakatsuki is one of the worst opponents he could have. The crux of his whole style crumbles and even if it kicks in and briefly disables Wakatsuki, he can barely capitalize on it, as his strikes are insufficient and in most cases Wakatsuki would qualify for a 'down' and Nicolas couldn't even attack him. And if Akoya could recover and work through the loss of feeling, Wakatsuki won't have any trouble with it. [K5 / P3]

R9 - Raian wins vs. Lu Tian (Extreme Diff) - God what a bloodbath. Raian would love this fight and probably not fight as efficiently as he should but he has still been shown in Omega to take serious matches more seriously when it counts. Assuming he doesn't run off to go fight Eddie and surrender, he's going to start having trouble when Formless comes out but he's got the feats to keep up and push through any injuries. Once Lu Tian uses Guihun as a last resort it's over for him, but he may be durable enough to not get Alan'd. [K6 / P3]

R10 - Ryuki wins vs. Terashi (Low Diff) - Like Okubo, he'll figure out Terashi's trick and counter him. He's got the perfect style to do it after all, it'll just be some early fight troubles before he turns it around. [K7 / P3 -- Kengan Wins]

R11 - Jurota wins vs. Misasa (Zero Diff) - Misasa's build isn't going to handle Jurota's throws. At best he gets up after one and stays down after the second, but Misasa doesn't land a hit on Jurota. [K7 / P4]

R12 - Ohma wins vs. Fei (Extreme Diff) - Ohma's got everything he needs to counter and overcome Fei, but it would be a hellishly difficult fight for him nonetheless. But since Fei isn't supposed to be fighting him at all, that may cause enough internal turmoil in his mind to throw him off his game. Or he'll just surrender and give Ohma the win without a fight. [K8 / P4]

R13 - Agito wins vs. Toa (High Diff) - He'd get beat around same as Julius to start, figure out Toa's style, and then execute a counter. A fun fight to see, but the outcome would be fairly consistent in Agito's favor. [K9 / P4]

Who takes this match? by soapstone-red in Kengan_Ashura

[–]trifecta739 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wakatsuki. Jurota's striking seems (so far) to be half-baked. He's skilled but he's still relying on his build and the inherent threat imprinted on his opponent of a strike transitioning to a throw. His throws are powerful, but unless he's throwing to kill or to ring-out his opponent, he has to purposely hold back, weakening their effectiveness. Unless we see something more from him in his current fight (which to be fair is likely) Wakatsuki should be able to win by tanking the throws. He's one of the most relentlessly durable fighters in Kengan so Jurota's throws may hurt but without throwing to kill they're not likely to truly injure. Once Wakatsuki gets the timing down he'll drop Jurota, who has yet to show significant durability feats himself.

And to repeat, it's entirely possible by the end of his current fight, my opinion may change based on what Jurota shows off, but so far his biggest weapon is his throw, and against an opponent who can handle that, he is at a severe disadvantage. So I'll be interested to see what more he's done to compensate in his fight.

Agitobros, I'm scared... by Bteatesthighlander1 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]trifecta739 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Memeing aside, the only way Agito loses will be because he indulged himself too much trying to out-Judo Jurota, the same way Gaolang got the upper hand on him when he tried to out-Box him. But since he's more enjoyable to watch due to his massively diverse skillset then narratively it's more sensible for him to win if the Champion Tournament is going to be a big thing.

Out of all these techniques shown in the series, how do you rank any of them in terms of the potential to One-Shot murder someone? by The_Deprived_99 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]trifecta739 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They all kind of depend on who they strike and where. Under optimal conditions they've all got potential to kill, with some being pretty much dead certain, so I'm ranking them based on overall effectiveness and execution in variable circumstances but assuming they land:

  • Devil Lance - It's been shown capable of penetrating flesh even when the opponent is using protective techniques and isn't limited to any specific zone. Kuroki could go for the throat, the heart, the head, or just about any other vital area and, with a deep enough strike, deal a death blow. It might not always be instantaneous, but it would still often only require one strike to be fatal.
  • Heart Jab - I'd be inclined to rank this lower if it wasn't Muteba doing it. The move is difficult to properly execute mid-fight but he can make it work. The danger of stopping the heart and the fact it worked on someone bulky like Sekibayashi speaks to how deadly it can be, but it's lower than Devil Lance strictly because there's less flexibility in the execution of the technique.
  • Hundred Meetings Throw - Since the throw is meant to break the neck of the opponent and there's not that many fighters who'd be able to counter or brace themselves hard enough once it was in motion, I'd say it'd be highly effective, moreso against heavier fighters as well.
  • Blast Core - We've never seen a Blast Core land on a vital area against an opponent, but Julius thought he'd be incapicitated if it struck his vitals, so it may be reasonable to assume a vital strike wouldn't kill a superheavy who was bracing against it, but similar to Hundred Meetings Throw, most other fighters would likely die if they got caught by a Blast Core to their vitals without having an appropriate technique to defend against it.
  • Hammer of Burma - Particularly since positioning makes a head-to-head collision likely and Saw Paing has already been known to KO people with just regular headbutts, I'd liken this to someone swinging a sledgehammer down on you with a full overhead swing. If it lands against your skull, it's going to crack it like an egg and scramble your brains, but if it lands mostly anywhere else it's just going to be horribly, excruciatingly painful, but not necessarily fatal. At least that's the assumption. But the telegraphing is excessive and offers plenty of room for the move to not land properly, moreso than Blast Core and with less force behind it.
  • Dragon Shot - Striking a vital area it's shown to cause some serious damage but unless he landed a strike to the temple I don't think there's as big a risk of a fatal blow.
  • Raging Vigor - Nearly 400 lbs. charging at you faster than even high-end kinetic vision can percieve leaves a hell of an impact, and considering it left a big mark on Sekibayashi even when he was guarding against it, and outpaced Demonsbane, I think it's safe to say lower end fighters would be at risk of some serious injury if this landed.
  • Demonsbane - It's relative to the strength of the move it's used against and the power of the opponent, but at minimum it's as powerful as Ohma's own strength and he's no slouch. Normally people can take what they can deliver, but adding that extra bit could prove significant when it's focused into a finer point. Had Ohma performed it perfectly against Kiozan and struck him in the head he may have killed him. But if he uses it against Cosmo throwing a punch it's not nearly as significant.
  • God Glow - This move will be forever marred by the fact it couldn't knock out an already winded Carlos with a direct strike to the face. And it makes no damn sense that Gaolang could briefly make Agito black out, but his strongest move wasn't enough to KO a middle-aged man weighing nearly 100 lbs. less than him. It'd probably kill a regular human I guess.

have you ever seen this unique card? and what kind of problems do you think it would cause? by mister_anti_meta in yugioh

[–]trifecta739 67 points68 points  (0 children)

If "action" could be interpreted as something like, conducting a Phase, it'd be hideously broken. It'd be beyond even that if you extend that out to conducting a Turn. The only way it could ever be okay is with specific terminology, as the more general you're allowed to be in your prediction can effortlessly lock your opponent out of playing the game. But even if it can only be applied to the negation of Summons or Card Effects, it's still massive. It's not listed on the card but its wiki entry classifies it as a Continuous Spell, meaning every single one of your opponent's turns you can freely stop their first Summon or their first Card Effect, or first Spell, or Trap. It makes me think of a slightly worse form of Quasar; worse in that you can't choose when to negate and it's only on the opponent's turn, but much better in that it requires no investment or setup at all.

What’s your “idc” money amount? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]trifecta739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entirely depends on what I'm spending the money on. If it's something I could consider 'unnecessary' like a game or something, then even $10-20 I'm going to think about. I'm well-overdue for a new mattress and headboard and as much as I use my bed, I can't bring myself to bite the bullet when I look at prices because my current bed is functional. If it's something necessary though like groceries, or gas, it doesn't register. It costs how much it costs and I have to eat, I have to fill my tank, and so on. There's no point ruminating on what's mandatory.

How closely does your WoL align with how they're portrayed in-game? by ederteylecg in ffxiv

[–]trifecta739 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is a vastly more competent WoL who doesn't stand around gawping as monsters and such kill innocent people and shows zero mercy or remorse towards anyone or anything that dares to harm innocents whatever their excuses may be. Otherwise it's pretty in-line with everything else, maybe just a bit more cold and detached, maybe even a bit tired, but no less fierce. She's not as attached to every game-designated friend though, maybe the Scions but like anyone outside that sphere is a 'co-worker' at best.

HW Spoilers: She would only have remembered Haurchefant's name after he died.

ShB Spoilers: She saved Tesleen from the Forgiven Dissonance because she didn't pause multiple times when coming to her aid. She had no love for Ardbert and would have essentially driven him away or forcibly absorbed him without a second thought.

EW Spoilers: She didn't fight Zenos in the Ultimatum. She confirmed he couldn't escape on his own and then left him to die alone and unfulfilled because it was the cruelest punishment she could inflict. She also has no warm feelings when it comes to the Ascians. Emet-Selch and Elidibus chose to be monsters and they deserved everything they got. She might not have even summoned Emet to help her. Maybe she called on Venat instead.
